79: Chapter 79 Island Life in the 1980s (14)

With the battle finally paused, Jiang Wan felt all her strength had been sapped away. Drenched in fragrant sweat, she lay limply in Shen Zhao's arms.

Shen Zhao caught his breath, kneading here and pressing there, clearly implying he intended to go for another round later.

However, he worried that Jiang Wan's body couldn't take it, so he let her rest for a while.

Jiang Wan panted slightly, her voice somewhat hoarse as she directed the man beside her.

"I want to take a shower, I feel awful."

Being covered in sweat and sticky was not comfortable at all.

"Go later."

Shen Zhao flatly refused. They'd only been at it twice; he wanted more later. If she washed now, wouldn't she have to wash again later? Why do it twice? It was better to wait until he was fully satisfied before washing!

Hearing this, Jiang Wan knew exactly what the man was thinking and lightly punched him.

If she weren't so exhausted, she would have kicked him out of bed right then and there.

"What time is it now? Aren't you tired yet!"

Shen Zhao's large hand caused trouble, his body pressed tightly against Jiang Wan.

"Not tired. I'm very energetic right now."

Shen Zhao wasn't lying; he was buzzing with excitement and felt no sleepiness at all.

"Wanwan, we haven't seen each other for almost a year. I've missed you so much I could die."

"We were separated for so long, and I thought about you every day, until my whole body ached with longing. Every time, I just thought that as long as I could return, I would make up for lost time with you."

As Shen Zhao spoke, he rolled over to pin Jiang Wan down, putting his words into action.

What he didn't say was that their mission this time had been very dangerous, and he had almost not made it back.

But he thought, he couldn't die. He hadn't married Jiang Wan yet, and they hadn't had their own child yet.

Whenever he thought that if he weren't around, Jiang Wan might find another man and do these happy things with someone else, he couldn't stand it.

Whenever he imagined Jiang Wan with another man after he was gone, Shen Zhao would be filled with drive and energy. Even when bullets were right in front of his eyes, he could dodge them quickly. Even unarmed, his punches landed solidly, beating the enemies until they couldn't get up. He was incredibly fierce.

At that time, he had only one thought: he had to come back alive, he must come back alive.

Shen Zhao left marks on Jiang Wan one by one, silently chanting with every kiss. She was his, she was his, she was still his.

The night was still long, and it wasn't until dawn that the lights in the room finally went out.

After messing around all night, Shen Zhao didn't sleep for long. By noon, he was already awake.

Although he hadn't slept much, there wasn't a trace of fatigue on Shen Zhao's face.

Shen Zhao checked the alarm clock on the bedside table and realized it was quite late. Since so much time had passed, Jiang Wan must be hungry.

Thinking of Jiang Wan being hungry, Shen Zhao forced himself to crawl out of their cozy bed to prepare something for her to eat, so she wouldn't have nothing when she woke up.

When Jiang Wan came home from work yesterday, she had picked up some groceries. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been any ingredients to cook with today!

Jiang Wan had indeed been woken up by hunger. Seeing that Shen Zhao was no longer in bed and hearing the sound of chopping from outside, she knew Shen Zhao was cooking!

Jiang Wan had already been helped with a wash by Shen Zhao yesterday, so she felt fresh and clean. She simply put on her nightgown, freshened up, and walked out.

Soon, a soft body pressed against Shen Zhao's back.

"Ah Zhao, what good food are you making? I'm starving!"

With Jiang Wan's full weight on his back, Shen Zhao immediately felt her softness, and his manhood stirred uncooperatively.

However, hearing Jiang Wan say she was hungry, he had to suppress it, forcing himself to focus on stir-frying the food in the pan. Wait, just wait; feed Jiang Wan first, then it would be his turn.

"I saw some vegetables in the fridge, so I just whipped up two dishes. Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon. Let's just have a simple lunch today, and I'll take you out for something delicious tonight."

Jiang Wan had no objections.

"Okay, then I'll get the bowls and chopsticks. I'll go wait outside for you."

Jiang Wan felt parched and needed a glass of water, so she picked up the bowls and chopsticks and walked out of the kitchen.

After they finished eating, they didn't go to rest immediately but sat on the sofa watching TV and chatting.

This was Jiang Wan's idea. If it were up to Shen Zhao, he would prefer to do some happy activities. But since Jiang Wan wanted to watch TV, he could only accompany her.

However, how could Shen Zhao just sit there obediently and quietly? He held Jiang Wan in his arms, letting her lean against him to watch.

Shen Zhao was wearing only a bathrobe, and Jiang Wan was in a nightgown; both of them were wearing nothing underneath, which was incredibly convenient for Shen Zhao.

The TV was on, but it was just for background noise; neither of them had glanced at it once.

The curtains were drawn; otherwise, given Jiang Wan's thin skin, she would always feel like someone might see them, leaving her with no sense of security.

Shen Zhao kissed Jiang Wan's delicate collarbone and asked hoarsely, "Wanwan, have you thought clearly about the question from last time?"

Jiang Wan had been closing her eyes, but upon hearing Shen Zhao's voice, she opened them.

"What question?"

Jiang Wan blinked. When did he ask her a question? Why didn't she remember?

Seeing that Jiang Wan didn't remember, Shen Zhao bit down on the fleshiest part of her, adding a little more force.

Jiang Wan frowned. Was he angry? If he was angry, fine, but why treat her like this?

Jiang Wan tried to push Shen Zhao away, but Shen Zhao held her tighter.

"Did you forget? I told you before about wanting to marry you, and you said to wait until you graduated. Now that you've graduated, shouldn't our matter be put on the agenda?"

Reminded by Shen Zhao, Jiang Wan finally remembered. Before they separated, he had indeed said he would go back and file a marriage application.

Seeing that Jiang Wan remembered, Shen Zhao looked seriously into her eyes.

"And now? Are you willing to marry me?"

Jiang Wan actually already had the answer in her heart, but she still wanted to tease him.

"Who said I graduated? I'm still studying for my doctorate, I have two more years!"

Shen Zhao heard this, frowned, and his face went a bit pale; he really hadn't known about this. So that meant he had to wait another two years?

Consequently, he asked cautiously,

"Then I'll wait another two years. How about we get married after two years?"

Shen Zhao thought, two years is two years; it'll pass quickly, just a few missions.

Seeing Shen Zhao look a bit dejected, yet still saying he was willing to wait for her, Jiang Wan couldn't help but chuckle.

Jiang Wan gently cupped Shen Zhao's face and took the initiative to give him a kiss.

"Silly, I was teasing you. Even if I'm studying, it won't delay us getting married!"

Shen Zhao's eyes widened; he only felt like firecrackers were going off in his head. Joy quickly climbed onto Shen Zhao's face.

"Really? Are you really willing?"

Seeing Jiang Wan nod, Shen Zhao was absolutely ecstatic and pulled Jiang Wan tightly into his arms.

If they weren't already stuck together, he would have had to pick Jiang Wan up and spin her around a few times.

"Alright then, I'll file the marriage application as soon as we get back."

Shen Zhao was extremely excited and began to make love to Jiang Wan; he was so happy that he had to properly let it all out.

Because Shen Zhao was so happy, he ended up tiring Jiang Wan out until she fell asleep again.

After settling Jiang Wan down, Shen Zhao was still too excited to sleep. He felt very energetic and had no sleepiness at all. He came out to clean up the mess on the sofa and even mopped the floor.

After finishing, as Shen Zhao was about to return to the room, he heard the doorbell ring.

Worried about waking Jiang Wan, Shen Zhao quickly walked over and opened the door.

Seeing the person outside, Shen Zhao and the person outside had the same expression, both looking at each other in surprise.

"Mom?"

"Son?"
