Chapter 196 -196 She Really Spoils Me Too Much

That night, Gu Wei also came back.

Not only did he come back, but he even brought a gift, which was a beautifully crafted handmade soap, clearly bought from the supermarket across from the community.

He had been writing reports at the military base every day lately; where had he found the time to pick out a gift? That he even thought of bringing a gift was already commendable.

As soon as he returned, he hugged Su Meixi, “Ah Xi, you’ve really had a hard time these days, always waiting for me alone at home.”

Su Meixi glanced at her e-book reader on the dining table, which she had spent thousands to buy specifically for reading e-books. It contained everything: novels, essays, talks, famous works…

She was immersed in the ocean of books every day; she really hadn’t thought of him.

No need to work, reading all day at home, casually cooking something when hungry or just fixing instant noodles, the days passed in utter contentment.

However, she was still quite happy to see him.

“Are you hungry?” She thought to cook a meal for him since she had bought plenty of groceries today.

“I’m hungry,” Gu Wei carried her to the bed.

She instantly knew what he was up to, “What are you doing?”

“Didn’t you ask if I was hungry? My body is hungry.”

“…”

An hour later, Su Meixi lay collapsed on the bed.

She decided to postpone her plans to return to work; she was simply too tired.

Gu Wei held her in his arms, gently caressing her smooth shoulders and asked her, “Have you been doing well recently?”

“It’s been okay,” she replied listlessly.

He then lifted her chin with his hand, making her look him in the eyes, “I want to know in detail, the more detailed, the better.”

She chuckled, “Should I write you a twenty-thousand-word report then?”

“No need for that, just tell me about it, I want to hear you speak,” he held her closer.

So she briefly shared, then mentioned the two orphans of martyrs, “You know Bao Min, right? She said she wants me to look after the kids for a month.”

When Bao Min was mentioned, Gu Wei’s expression remained unchanged, but when the topic turned to the two orphans, his face was filled with pity, “Those children are pitiful; their parents died on duty, their grandparents are no longer around, and their maternal grandparents are in the countryside with other children to care for.

If we don’t keep them here, the only other option would be to send them to an orphanage, and although they are under our watch, it’s not really reassuring. If you could look after them, please help out, but if you genuinely don’t want to, I’ll arrange for another family.”

Su Meixi quickly said, “No need, since they are orphans of martyrs, I will certainly take good care of them, otherwise, my conscientiousness would be lacking. It’s just that I have no experience with children, are they easy to manage?”

Gu Wei quickly reassured, “They are easy to manage, very sensible siblings, I’ve watched them grow up, and they are familiar with everyone in the community and are very polite.”

“But shifting from one family’s house to another each month, just as they get used to one home, isn’t that detrimental to their psychological health? Although you all like them, there’s always a difference between one’s own children and others.

If there’s a conflict with their own kids, whose side do they take? If they side with their own, the orphans will surely feel left out, and if they side with the orphans, their own children will feel that their parents are biased.”

Gu Wei said, “We have considered this issue, but it has been like this for the past two years and it seemed alright, so we didn’t change the arrangement. Last year, a couple among our comrades who couldn’t have children wanted to adopt one of them, but the siblings didn’t agree. They were worried about being unable to support both, moreover, the children are grown up, and they feared they wouldn’t grow close if adopted.”

Su Mei thought that made sense.

“How long are you back this time?”

“Two days, I’ll return after the weekend, but I’ll try to come back every weekend,” Gu Wei said.

Su Meixi said, “It’s okay if you don’t come back; I’m quite comfortable on my own.”

Gu Wei looked at her more adoringly.

In his eyes, his wife, to avoid causing him trouble, had actually made up such a lie; she really spoils me too much.

…

The next day, Su Meixi suggested reorganizing the two rooms upstairs for Fang Xia and Fang Shuai to live in.

Their small building had two floors and four rooms, way too many for just two people, so it seemed best to prepare a room for each of Fang Xia and Fang Shuai.

The rooms had beds and tables; they only lacked bedding, which Su Meixi planned to buy at a bigger supermarket.

On their way out, they ran into Bao Min at the community playground.

Upon seeing Gu Wei, Bao Min immediately greeted him, “Captain Gu, are you off today?”

There were too many people greeting Gu Wei along the way; he simply nodded in acknowledgment, Bao Min being no exception.

“Captain Gu, where do you plan to go?” Bao Min asked persistently.

Gu Wei replied briefly with two words: “Supermarket.”

“What are you doing at the supermarket?” Bao Min’s questions grew increasingly numerous.

Gu Wei paused, then asked, “Do I need to report to you?”

Bao Min’s face immediately turned red, “No, no need.”

She didn’t glance at Su Meixi, and Su Meixi didn’t bother to greet her either.

…

The large supermarket was in the city center, and they drove there, then slowly picked things out in the bedding section.

It was indeed the right choice to come here; they had all styles available, and buying bedding also came with a free stuffed toy.

Su Meixi chose a purple bedding set for Fang Xia and a dark blue one with stars for Fang Shuai.

After some thought, she also replaced the desks at home with multifunctional student desks, complete with attached bookshelves.

With the desks changed, naturally, the multifunctional student chairs needed replacing too.

Thinking further, she decided to also replace the curtains with colors to match.

They left empty-handed but returned with big and small packages, large and small boxes; they had to ask the supermarket staff for home delivery and installation.

When they returned to the community, they ran into Bao Min again.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Bao Min curiously asked Gu Wei, “Captain Gu, weren’t you going to the supermarket? How come you have nothing with you? Did your wife not let you buy things to save money?”

Gu Wei didn’t like such jokes and didn’t even respond.

Su Meixi also felt embarrassed for Bao Min but didn’t intend to act as a mediator.

In a short while, the supermarket staff informed them that the goods had arrived. The community wouldn’t allow delivery inside, so they had to go pick them up themselves and arrange them.

Gu Wei drove to the gate to pick up the goods.

While jogging in the playground, Bao Min saw that Gu Wei had bought so much stuff, mostly bedding, and a sour feeling surged inside her.

She really did not understand what virtues or abilities Su Meixi had to capture Gu Wei’s heart and to make the usually unapproachable Gu Wei so devoted.

On the last day of the month, Gu Wei found time to return to the Military District.

Today was the day to welcome Fang Xia and Fang Shuai, and fearing Su Meixi couldn’t manage alone, he decided to come back and help.
