Chapter 846 A Selfish and Greedy Country Wife Accompanying the Army (10)
The military region isn't too far from the city, and there are even dedicated shuttle buses.
Although this place is not considered backward and has all kinds of supplies, it is still inferior to the city.
Upon hearing this, Mu Zhou remembered his previous words and quickly waved his hand:
"No need, no need, I don't need anything, I don't need to buy anything."
She was afraid that she was spending too much and that Cheng Lifeng would dislike her.
In fact, Cheng Lifeng saw through her clumsy attempts to please him.
That's why I wanted to put her mind at ease.
"Go ahead, I need to buy some things too."
Only after he said that did Mu Zhou reluctantly nod.
However, she still longed for it after all. Her bright, dark eyes fixed on him, she asked curiously:
Are there any department stores in the city?
“Yes,” he paused, then added, “we’re going there.”
"Really? My cousin said she went to a department store and said they have everything. I'm so envious."
Mu Zhou made no attempt to hide it, or rather, she couldn't hide the fact that she really wanted to go shopping at the legendary department store.
Once the topic is brought up, she starts chattering away.
Cheng Lifeng listened in silence, only responding occasionally.
He didn't find it noisy at all; in fact, he found it somewhat amusing.
Mu Zhou's topics jumped around haphazardly.
She was talking about department stores, but then she suddenly started talking about her cousin, and then about how she used to always wear her cousin's hand-me-downs.
But my cousin would only give me her clothes when they were worn out.
She didn't want it, but her stepmother was unhappy, saying she had the body of a lady but the fate of a maid, and was just pretending to be high and mighty.
"But those clothes were all patched up, and they were too small for me to button up."
Recalling the past, Mu Zhou pouted her lips in grievance.
Oh, by the way, this cousin isn't actually related to her by blood; she's a relative from her stepmother's side.
“Every time I have to wear it, my cousin will laugh at me, saying I look like a ragpicker and that I'm fat because I can't even button it up.”
Thinking about those things still made Mu Zhou extremely angry:
"I'm not a fat woman, I'm just..."
It's just that it's plump and round, with flesh in the right places.
Mu Zhou swallowed these words back in time, but her ears still turned bright red.
She touched her earlobe, the heat making her hand tremble, and abruptly changed the subject:
"It's late, I'm going to sleep."
After saying that, she ran away shyly.
Cheng Lifeng remained seated, a dark glint in his eyes.
Mu Zhou didn't say it aloud, but he knew it in his heart.
On the day I moved, the image of her in her black tight-fitting sweater came to mind.
She's not fat.
*
In the middle of the night, Cheng Lifeng's heart was pounding.
In his dream, he returned to the scene before he went to sleep.
Mu Zhou spoke of the past with a mix of playfulness and annoyance, but when she mentioned that she wasn't fat, she blushed and wanted to run away.
But this time, he didn't let her leave.
He pulled the person into his arms.
Cheng Lifeng suddenly opened his eyes.
In the quiet night, the sound of my heartbeat was deafening.
Noticing the abnormality in his body, he stood up with a cold face.
I've been living alone all these years, and I've never been in a situation like this before.
His energy has always been devoted to training.
But today, it happened more than once...
Cheng Lifeng closed his eyes, resignedly got up and started tidying up.
As he passed another room, he slowed his pace and glanced up.
The bathroom was cramped.
Cheng Lifeng tilted his head back, his jaw clenched, and his chest heaving violently.
His Adam's apple was noticeably bobbing.
The cold water flowed down his high nose, down his neck, and then continued downwards.
Until it meanders into the clearly defined lines of muscle.
That figure kept flashing through my mind.
She was wearing a black sweater.
She had just finished showering, and her skin was damp and pink.
And her slightly damp hair slipped through his fingers.
And her soft fingers brushed against his shoulder...
Scenes constantly shift and change.
Cheng Lifeng leaned against the wall with one hand, his usually straight back slightly bent.
His strong muscles, with their prominent veins, silently spoke of the power of restraint.
My breathing is getting heavier.
Cheng Lifeng opened his tightly closed eyes, the deep blackness in them was terrifying.
A ruthless and dangerous undercurrent is churning.
He gritted his teeth slightly, and finally sighed.
On his way back, he passed by Mu Zhou's room, glanced at it, and quickly lowered his eyes to hide the hidden savagery.

Mu Zhou had just woken up when he heard that there was a letter for him.
Upon seeing the sender's address, she immediately understood.
She opened the letter, glanced at it briefly, and chuckled softly.
She tore the letter into pieces and threw it into the trash can in the house.
This is a letter from my hometown.
It was sent by her stepmother, and the message was nothing more than a pretentious attempt to inquire about her situation and whether her husband treated her well.
Then explain the main purpose of the letter.
Her cousin is coming over.
They claimed it was because they were worried she wouldn't be able to take good care of herself, so they asked her cousin to come and look after her.
My cousin is on her way now.
Judging by the speed of the letter, my cousin Li Yangyang should arrive tomorrow.
Cousin Li Yangyang is only one year older than Mu Zhou, and the two have never gotten along since childhood.
Her purpose in coming this time was very clear.
Back then, her stepmother wanted her to marry into the family in place of Mu Zhou.
Their intentions are now crystal clear.
Mu Zhou wasn't surprised at all.
She suddenly brought up her cousin last night, and that's why.
Seeing that Cheng Lifeng was about to return, she rubbed her eyes and composed herself.
Dinner was unusually quiet tonight.
Mu Zhou cautiously stole glances at him several times, until he looked at her voluntarily, then she timidly said:
"I... I want to find a job."
During this period, Mu Zhou and Cheng Lifeng tacitly avoided talking about what they had said when they first met.
At that time, Mu Zhou said that she came to join the army only to escape the fate of being married off to an old widower in the countryside.
She said she was only staying there temporarily, and would move out and get a divorce once she found a job to support herself.
But after arriving at the military region, Mu Zhou really loved life there.
I live a happy and carefree life every day, and I can eat my fill and stay warm.
She has no ambition; she just wants to maintain this good life.
So she carefully tried to please Cheng Lifeng, never mentioning what she had said before, hoping to stay there forever.
Cheng Lifeng could guess all of these things.
But why is she suddenly bringing up the topic of finding a job again?
It's not that I can't work.
Rather, it was her sudden mention of it, and her obviously off-putting emotions, that indicated something had happened without Cheng Lifeng's knowledge.
This forced Mu Zhou to begin changing the status quo.
Cheng Lifeng frowned.
A subtle glint flashed in his eyes:
"Don't rush to look for it, let me go ask around."
Hearing Cheng Lifeng say this, she nodded silently, looking deep in thought.
Mu Zhou has no formal education, having only completed primary school, and he has no special skills.
She's not good at sewing or cooking; she can only be considered to have some skills.
If we're talking about what she's best at, it has to be farming.
But there's no land here for her to plant...
Finding a job is really not an easy thing.
After the meal, Cheng Lifeng's gaze fell on the trash can inside the room.
Beneath a ball of yarn were several scraps of paper.
He narrowed his eyes.
