Gu Jinchen was not at home, and the house felt much emptier.
After dinner, she let the two little ones wash up well after giving them a bath and sending them to their rooms to rest. Luo Ge was also ready to rest.
The moonlight tonight was very good, with stars all over the sky. The shadows of the trees shone under the moonlight, and the scene of fireflies flying and dancing all around was very beautiful.
Luo Ge couldn't help but watch this scene for a few more moments as she stood outside the house.
"Knock, knock."
Just then, the sudden knock on the yard gate startled her, and her hand subconsciously grabbed the iron hoe by the corner of the wall as she looked warily at the yard gate.
"Knock, knock." Two more knocks.
She didn't ask any questions, as Gu Jinchen was not at home now, and there were only her and the two little ones. If there were thieves outside with weapons, she was afraid she would not be their match.
Just as she was thinking about countermeasures, a black shadow suddenly jumped down from the wall of the yard.
"!!!" Her body reacted faster than her brain. By the time she realized what was happening, the iron hoe in her hand had already swung over.
Seeing the iron hoe suddenly swinging towards him, Gu Jinchen was also startled and hurriedly blocked it with his hand.
"Help! Catch the thief!" In a panic, she immediately shouted, hoping that Wang Sister-In-Law next door hadn't gone to bed yet and could hear her.
"It's me!" Gu Jinchen hurriedly said while trying to grab Luo Ge, but unexpectedly got a judo throw in return, with a kick to his chest.
"Oof."
He didn't expect his delicate little wife to be so skilled. Caught off guard, the sour pain made him involuntarily grunt.
Luo Ge was about to swing the iron hoe again when in the next moment, seeing his face clearly, she froze instantly.
Now he was lying on the ground, and under the moonlight Luo Ge finally recognized him.
"Husband?" She tried tentatively.
Gu Jinchen rubbed his chest and glanced at her.
"Yes, it's me."
After confirming it was indeed Gu Jinchen, her first reaction was to immediately discard the murder weapon and smile awkwardly at Gu Jinchen as he stood up.
Gu Jinchen: "..."
"Uncle, auntie."
Hearing the commotion, the two little ones also ran out and called out in confusion when they saw the scene in the yard.
"Uncle, you're back so soon?" Second Baby was the first to speak and ask the question they all wanted to ask.
Gu Jinchen brushed off his clothes: "I had a good haul today, so I came back early."
"It's late now, you two should go back to your rooms and rest."
After sending the two little ones away, he turned back to look at Luo Ge: "I'll wash up first, you should go back to the room too."
From beginning to end, he didn't say a word about what had just happened.
Luo Ge, who obediently went back to the room, felt a little uneasy.
She had actually hit Gu Jinchen just now. She was done for. He wouldn't be angry, would he?
This unease persisted until she was in bed.
"Husband...." Seeing that he hadn't spoken since coming to bed, she couldn't help calling out.
Hearing her voice, Gu Jinchen tilted his head slightly.
"What is it?"
"Just now.....I'm sorry, I thought you were a thief, so..."
Oh, so that's why the little wife hadn't slept or hugged him yet. She was thinking about this.
"It's nothing. I startled you. Now that I know you can handle yourself, I feel at ease."
He didn't take what happened just now to heart at all. It just made him even more curious about her past.
She appeared delicate and beautiful, but was talented in both literary and martial arts, had excellent culinary skills, and was skilled in self-defense.
He had to say, the more he understood her, the more she surprised him, and the more curious he was about what kind of family could raise such a girl.
Hearing his words, Luo Ge blinked in surprise and raised her head to meet his gaze.
"You're not angry?"
"No, why would I be angry at you?" She did nothing wrong.
".....Then why were you so quiet?"
"....I'm always quiet." He certainly couldn't say he was waiting for his little wife to fall asleep so he could hold her.
"....." That did seem reasonable, he was indeed a quiet person.
Seeing that he wasn't angry, Luo Ge felt relieved.
"That's good that you're not angry. I'll rest first, you should sleep early too."
"Mm."
After she spoke, the room was quiet for a long time, with only the sound of Luo Ge tossing and turning in bed.
She really was trying to fall asleep, but for some reason, whenever she closed her eyes, she would easily recall being carried by him like an accessory.
Thinking about it made her unable to fall asleep.
Gu Jinchen silently watched this scene and pinched his fingers. The next time she turned over, he directly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Sleep." After holding her, he felt at ease. Though his ears were burning badly, and his heart was beating so fast.
Lying on his chest listening to his steady heartbeat, Luo Ge's little heart was also thumping quickly.
"Mm." She carefully nestled her head and responded softly, her little face flushed red.
After a long while, the little wife nestled in his arms finally fell sound asleep.
Looking at her sleeping face, Gu Jinchen was a little nervous, but eventually still carefully and gingerly placed a kiss on her face.
Gazing at her sleeping face, he was finally satisfied and fell asleep as well.
