CHAPTER 217: 207 BED INCIDENT

"Hey, Jinghuai, why are you carrying such a big bed by yourself? Let me help you share the load?" Fang Tongzhou looked at Jiang Jinghuai carrying a double bed alone, propped on his shoulder. No matter how robust his stature was, it was still a double bed. Moreover, he was sweating profusely; shouldn’t he wipe it off?

He rolled up his sleeves, about to step forward.

Jiang Jinghuai cast him a calm glance, "No need. Don’t touch it, stand aside."

"Huh?" Fang Tongzhou didn’t quite understand.

The commotion was too great, and with training over, it attracted many people along the way. Jiang Jinghuai ignored them, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable.

The girls from the art troupe, seeing this, opened their small cherry-like mouths in surprise, their hearts racing.

Captain Jiang is amazing! Truly living up to the ancient phrase, "Strength to lift mountains, unmatched spirit." That agility akin to a leopard, how many in the military district could achieve it? While the art troupe girls were enamored, Jiang Jinghuai’s soldiers felt sorry, one by one following behind, the line almost forming a dragon.

"Captain, we can handle carrying the bed." Was the captain losing his mind? No matter how strong one’s body is, such abuse would be unbearable.

"Everyone stand still." Jiang Jinghuai’s voice was steady as he instructed.

Shui Lian glanced at the crowd, pondered for a moment, then walked away in defeat.

Ji Yao’er watched her back, puzzled inside; how did things get so gossiped about bearing no sign of Jiang Jinghuai and Tian Sangsang having a falling-out???

Now it seemed like a scene of humble apology... no, a humble apology with a bed.

"Captain..." Squad Leader Luo saw Jiang Jinghuai, hesitated, then immediately approached with a playful grin, "Why didn’t you get someone to help with the bed? Let me give you a hand."

Since it was at the stairway entrance, Jiang Jinghuai temporarily set the bed down, his shoulder already imprinted with a red mark from the bed, yet he paid it no mind, taking a few light breaths before saying, "No, the bed is for Sangsang; I have to carry it myself. You helping would be harming."

Squad Leader Luo’s smile stiffened, contemplating his words. Was the captain very attentive to that wife from the countryside?

There was already a group of military wives gathered at the stairway entrance, their feet seemingly glued down, unable to move.

Qin Lan was eager to make an impression in front of Jiang Jinghuai, with a hint of flattery, "Captain Jiang, changing the bed at home? This bed looks great!"

Jiang Jinghuai responded indifferently, "Not changing, just adding a new bed."

"Oh." A military wife was puzzled, "Not enough beds? Why add a new one?" Their family lived just fine, never having changed beds or added a new one.

"Too cramped, can’t fit three people." Jiang Jinghuai said.

"Then just change it to a bigger one, two beds are troublesome." Qin Lan sincerely suggested.

"Not troublesome." Jiang Jinghuai pressed his thin lips together, in a light tone, "This one’s for my son, Sangsang and I will sleep on the other one."

Upon these words, everyone’s expression turned subtle. His son is so young, with an injured leg, yet he was going to sleep alone on one bed? To actually have the heart to leave the son on another bed!

Squad Leader Luo, hearing this, immediately donned an "I understand" expression, "Captain, your relationship with your wife is really good."

Everyone laughed, the smile benevolent, tacitly understanding, it’s a couple’s issue, who wouldn’t get it?

Then those with children thought that kids being clingy to moms isn’t good, they should gain independence sooner. Maybe get them a bed as well? This way, at night, you can do things without sneaking around...

How to quench rumors, with another rumor. Jiang Jinghuai lifted the bed again, a faint light slowly gliding across his profound eyes.

Qin Lan’s expression turned nasty, as if she had swallowed a fly. What? That foreign wife, he actually cherished her that much! Making such a fuss, the bed can’t even hold them! Not afraid of waking the child!!

Tian Sangsang was in the kitchen washing vegetables, and couldn’t help but chuckle as she washed.

The house hadn’t bought a fridge yet, or else she would’ve made some dark cuisine, like instant noodle ice cream. Just freeze Master Kang’s beef noodles into a square gray ice cream and poison Jiang Jinghuai.

"Coming, coming."

A knocking came from outside, Tian Sangsang wiped her hands on her apron and swiftly opened the door.

Jiang Jinghuai stood at the door, drenched in sweat, his black hair slightly wet, sweat trickling down his chiseled features, his deep eyes staring at her.

His tall figure blocking, Tian Sangsang slightly lifted her head, "Come in." She said and then walked forward on her own.

The clattering noise behind startled her, she backed off to the side, wide-eyed in surprise, "Why did you carry the bed back?" No wonder he looked like a farm worker today.

"Isn’t this what you wanted?" Jiang Jinghuai lazily lifted his eyelids, his voice slightly hoarse.

Yes. Yesterday she was thinking of going to buy a bed, but was too troubled by Shui Lian’s issue, so she didn’t go. She hadn’t expected Jiang Jinghuai to buy it back.

Feeling inexplicably better inside, Tian Sangsang hummed softly, making way for him.

He carried the bed into the bedroom and set it up. The bedroom wasn’t very big, the two beds placed parallel, separated by only a width for two people to pass.

"Mom, is this bed for the three of us to sleep together?" Meng Shuyan asked excitedly, tugging at Tian Sangsang’s sleeve.

Tian Sangsang decisively answered, "No, it’s for you and me."

Meng Shuyan pouted disappointedly, "Why can’t the three of us sleep together?"

"Son, look." Tian Sangsang patted his head, pointing, "This bed is too small, we can’t fit all three."

"Oh." Meng Shuyan lowered his head, touching his chin, then looked up, his bright peach blossom eyes shining, "Then I’ll sleep in one, and Dad and Mom sleep in the other."

"Though I want to sleep with Dad and Mom, but Dad and Mom should sleep together. I’ve grown up." He made a small fist, boosting himself, "I can handle it."

Ah! Whose child is this! In this day and age! There aren’t many sensible children like this anymore, understand!

"No way." Tian Sangsang’s heart filled with an inexplicable sadness, "Mom still wants to sleep with you for a few more years, plus this bed is still too small, Dad and I can’t fit. How about this, Yanyan, you sleep with Dad on odd days, and with Mom on even days, that way you will have slept with both Dad and Mom, which is no different from us sleeping in one bed as a family."

Tian Sangsang’s eyes gleamed with a cunning light.

Does sleeping have to be this complicated, odd and even days, what is that?

Meng Shuyan’s little head was about to twist into a knot, looking with his moist eyes, "Then when do Dad and Mom sleep together?"

Tian Sangsang decided to make a quick escape, "I’ll go wring a towel to wipe the bed."

Leaving only the two of them in the room, Meng Shuyan’s gaze naturally fell on Jiang Jinghuai.

Facing his son’s moist eyes again, Jiang Jinghuai was a bit at a loss, wishing he could smoke a cigarette right now.
