Chapter 644: Chapter 645: Sister-in-law, long time no see!

“Tang Zelin?”

“Hmm?”

“Tang Zelin?”

“Hmm.”

The man’s reaction was endearingly dazed, his usually peachy eyes, stripped of their typical pride and sharpness, fixed tightly on his wife’s belly, as if by gazing intently, he could see exactly where the child was.

“Tang…”

Just as Su Shu was about to speak, a pair of strong arms lifted her up gently and then carefully placed her on the bed.

“Be careful, where do you feel uncomfortable?”

He asked Su Shu several questions in a row, all about whether she felt anything amiss or if he had done anything wrong.

After several questions, Tang Zelin suddenly sat down beside her, falling silent.

Su Shu raised an eyebrow, sat up leaning against the bedhead, and couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Tang Zelin’s gaze following her every move.

“I’m just pregnant, not incapacitated, don’t be like this.”

Tang Zelin watched her, his inner feelings and the words he wanted to say churning like turbulent waves.

But he didn’t know what to say.

It seemed like no words could adequately express his most intense emotions at that moment.

It was Su Shu who spoke first.

“Didn’t the Political Commissar tell you I was pregnant?”

Tang Zelin nodded, “I came home first, I haven’t been to the military base yet.”

After a three-second pause, a trace of happiness quietly rose from the bottom of Su Shu’s heart.

Tang Zelin had always prioritized military matters, and she had known him long enough not to expect him to put her before his duties.

As long as the two of them could face anything together, hand in hand, no matter when or where, she was content.

However, when it really came to a moment like now, with Tang Zelin rushing straight to her house in C-city as soon as he returned, that indescribable sense of satisfaction and happiness was incomparable.

The joy of Tang Zelin’s return had dispelled the slight fear she had felt in the space.

But concerning the anomaly in the space, she felt she still needed to find some time to talk to Tang Zelin about it.

Perhaps, from a man’s perspective, he might notice something she hadn’t.

However, Tang Zelin, newly promoted to the role of a rookie dad, was blissfully bewildered; she didn’t want to dampen his spirits.

Tang Zelin didn’t sit at home for long before there was a knocking at the door.

Surprised, Su Shu turned her head, “Someone’s knocking.”

Tang Zelin, sitting on the bed, heard the force of the knocking and stood up, turning to touch Su Shu’s cheek with his hand.

“It might be for me, I’ll check.”

Su Shu watched him approach the door and also got off the bed to follow.

When Tang Zelin opened the door, he saw his guard, Guozi, standing outside and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

“Didn’t I tell you to return to the base and inform Old Qu that I’d be back tomorrow?”

Guozi snapped a salute, “Group Captain, I can’t handle it, the Political Commissar’s fire is too much for me, you need to go back.”

“Not even postponing it by one day?”

“The Political Commissar knows you’re back. He said if he can’t see you tonight, he’s going to bring troops to apprehend you.”

“Get lost!”

“For real!” Guozi covered his mouth with his hand, “Group Captain, you really should go back and see the Political Commissar, otherwise, his tears will flood the Great Wall.”

Su Shu walked out from inside and saw Guozi standing at the door, smiling and waving hello.

Guozi was excited, “Sister-in-law, hello! Long time no see!”

Before Su Shu could reply, a towering presence moved in front of her, blocking the view between her and Guozi.

All she heard was the man in front sternly saying, “Scram quickly, go back and tell Old Qu that I’ll come to report tonight.”

Su Shu just heard Guozi shout from in front, “Sister-in-law, goodbye!” Then he took off running.
