Chapter 289: Chapter 285: Be Careful of Wang Xiuzhen [1350 Votes+]
————————-
"Honey, if there’s anything you want to check, I can help!" Zhang Shanni noticed that her husband had been spending days guarding the military or that Tanning Temple, seemingly searching for something, but he never found it.
There’s no need for her to inquire about it, the lockdown of Tanning Temple by Rong District has nearly reached a month, and it has become a hot topic in the county town.
Since nothing happened, people are getting bolder and dare to say anything.
"Silly wife, that’s military business. As long as you and the babies are well, I’m at ease," Xie Jingchen kissed her eyelids and declined.
"Then, honey, be careful of Wang Xiuzhen. Her aura is even stranger than Lin Aihong’s. Although it hasn’t completely changed, I feel there is something very strange and murky about her life force,"
It felt as if she was possessed by something filthy! Zhang Shanni added in her mind.
If it weren’t for the fact that she herself had possessed someone else’s body, and had an instinctual desire to cover it up, she really wanted to tell her husband that Wang Xiuzhen was most likely possessed by someone else!
"And, honey, stay away from Zheng Changqing in the future. I suspect he must have some kind of advanced drugs that can cause people to fake death!"
Nowadays, there’s no term for ’vegetative state’, so fake death is the most appropriate descriptor.
Saying this, Zhang Shanni thought for a moment, took out an injection from the Space, and moved it to the drawer beside the bed, pretending to remember something, and sat up, "Honey, wait a moment!"
Saying so, she got out of bed, went over to the drawer, slowly squatted down, and reached in her hand, ready to take out that special-type syringe that was only as long as a knuckle.
"What is this?" Xie Jingchen was surprised to see his little wife take out a small syringe.
"Honey, do you trust me?" Zhang Shanni didn’t answer his question, but instead looked into his eyes and asked in return.
This syringe contained the most advanced ’Detoxification’ from the future.
It utilized human cells and the mutual suppression of two naturally antagonistic snake venoms to maintain ’Detoxification Bacteria’ inside the body. This drug, once injected, can last in the body for five years. After five years, if one still wants it, they need another injection.
It can be said to be an expensive ’rich medicine’. Those who particularly like primitive outdoor adventures would get an injection every five years.
One injection costs five hundred thousand New Era Coins.
Approximately the salary of an ordinary family for about ten years.
Moreover, the body’s physical strength needs to reach grade C to take this medicinal concoction. Xie Jingchen’s current physical strength is fully adequate to receive it.
Xie Jingchen, seeing the eager look in his wife’s eyes, lightly patted her butt with his big palm and said discontentedly: "Wife, what silly things are you thinking about!"
As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms and stretched out his left arm in front of her, signaling her to inject directly.
Zhang Shanni silently bit her lower lip, took out a cotton swab to disinfect the elbow crease, gently found the vein, and administered the injection, which was only the size of a small bean, all in one go.
"Honey, after this injection, you’ll have a low-grade fever for twenty-four hours, but it won’t hinder everyday activities."
The fever would be just one degree higher than normal, with a peak of less than two degrees, so it really is a mild fever.
"Hmm, don’t cry, it’s not like you’re the one getting the injection, why are you shedding tears?" Xie Jingchen saw that his little wife started to well up with tears after giving the injection, so he had to ignore the small needle mark on his arm and comfort her first.
"Honey..." Zhang Shanni had always known that Xie Jingchen was tolerant with her, even helped her hide many secrets, and treated her so well. Suddenly, she felt that the Space wasn’t a secret that she couldn’t tell him anymore!
"I know, don’t be nervous, stop crying." Xie Jingchen felt even more that his little wife, since getting pregnant, had become much more delicate, and though she became extremely sensitive and emotional, at the same time, the warm maternal aura she radiated was even more attractive.
Zhang Shanni casually tossed the needle in her little hand into the Space’s trash can, and threw herself into his arms, crying petulantly.
If one could be deeply in love, Space wouldn’t be that important at all.
Zhang Shanni valued the Space because it represented her bedrock, the foundation of her existence in this unfamiliar era.
It was the material basis for her survival!
Facing the child soon to be born, her feelings for Xie Jingchen were gradually changing.
Which was starkly different from the thoughts she had when she first arrived.
Back then she had a simple idea: if the man was good to her, she would reciprocate; if not, she would just take care of the children by herself.
This had always been her mindset during the apocalypse.
Because the apocalypse had worn down human nature, her definition of ’good’ was truly very low.
As long as he fulfilled his duties... but Xie Jingchen had done too well, gradually melting her cold heart that yearned for warmth, filling her with expectations towards him.
"Husband..."
After all, there are differences between women and men; men’s ambition lies in the vast world outside, while women’s vision often remains within the home.
Perhaps this notion, formed since her childhood, is involved—even as the women of the later world gained the ability to be self-sufficient, it was mostly to secure their standing in their husband’s family, to impress the in-laws, subtly telling them: she isn’t a weak and incompetent woman.
Ever since Zhang Shanni wholeheartedly accepted the Xie Family, her affection for Xie Jingchen became increasingly important.
The more secrets she revealed, the heavier her desire for his love became.
And Xie Jingchen’s response greatly won Zhang Shanni’s approval, the intermingling of their emotions made her care for him even more.
If at this point, his ability to trust her represented a form of deceit, then it was Zhang Shanni’s wretched fate.
Because Xie Jingchen had also built his trust in Zhang Shanni with his life.
At this moment, Zhang Shanni was willing to share all her secrets with him!
But Xie Jingchen pressed his index finger against her lips, shushed her gently, "Wife, you don’t have to say anything. Keep the secrets in your heart. I just need you and the child to be healthy, got it?"
His feelings for her were unaffected by deceit, and similarly, he knew she genuinely cared for him.
Her previous reluctance was due to the lack of absolute trust in him; whereas her current willingness indicated that her emotions were overriding her rationale.
He didn’t want her to have any regrets, and moreover, from the clues she had shown, he had a good idea of what her secrets were.
"Husband, after today, I don’t know if I’ll have the courage to tell you again..." Zhang Shanni blinked her eyes, reminding him.
"Silly, that means I’m still not doing good enough! No rush, wife, we have a lifetime ahead of us. Let’s talk once you think it through."
"..." Zhang Shanni felt that her man was too good at playing the emotional game!
"Alright, don’t overthink it, go get some sleep. Today was tiring enough, you need to be well for the babies to be well." Xie Jingchen stroked her small face, gently pressing her back onto the bed, until her blinking eyes appeared adorably dazed and out of sorts.
"There, sleep now, I’ll always be here." Seeing her like this, Xie Jingchen had no choice but to take off his coat, lie down beside her, and join her in sleep.
