Su Shen was a formidable soldier, but he never endorsed the idea of extreme and grueling training. In his opinion, training should be conducted scientifically — if one could master it, they should, and if not, then they weren’t fit for military service.
When he recruited soldiers, he focused on finding those who could be trained scientifically, rather than those who needed to toil tirelessly, far more than others, to qualify.
He explained to Su Bing that the body needed refinement, not torture; tormenting the body to learn was impractical.
Hearing this, Gu Zi’s eyes were filled with admiration. She thought her man had the potential to be a university professor.
Gu Zi also agreed with Su Shen’s viewpoint that learning was something that required diligence but should prioritize maintaining good health.
Su Bing packed up his schoolwork and said, “I understand. I’m going to sleep now, goodnight, Mom and Dad.”
The experiences of these years had made Su Bing realize that continuous learning and maintaining good academic performance were his only way forward.
So even though his grades were consistently good, he remained diligent in his studies. But now, with a caring mother and a father who was becoming more attentive to the family, he didn’t need to strain himself as much.
After Su Bing went upstairs, Gu Zi had some water and then led Su Shen upstairs.
“I think we should find some time to talk to the kids. I’ll create an exercise plan for them, and you can spare some time to be their coach. What do you think?”
The eldest and the second child were physically weak due to prolonged malnutrition in the past. To make them stronger, mere dietary supplements wouldn’t suffice; they needed physical activity, which could yield better results with less effort.
Su Shen, being a military officer with exceptional physical fitness, would have no trouble guiding his two sons in exercise and teaching them self-defense techniques like boxing and martial arts. The only challenge would be finding the time, given his busy schedule managing the pig farm.
She mentioned it, wanting to gauge Su Shen’s opinion. If he couldn’t spare the time, she’d figure something out.
Su Shen contemplated for a moment and said, “I’ll make time for it. Once you’ve planned it out, let me know.”
Gu Zi was surprised. “You agreed so easily? You didn’t need to think it over?”
Su Shen chuckled and patted her head. “When the kids have a dedicated mom like you, I can’t lag behind. It won’t take much time, just a bit initially, and then they can train on their own for the most part.”
Gu Zi realized that he was right.
In any case, the exercise plan could wait. For now, the most important thing was tonight – their first night together. She wondered if he had the same plans in mind as she did.
She fetched some clean clothes, her heart filled with anticipation, and entered the bathroom. When she emerged, he was sitting on the couch, deep in thought.
Gu Zi got onto the bed and asked him to take a shower. He got up, opened the closet, and took out his clothes.
His clothes had already been moved to her side of the closet. On the left were his pajamas, taking up only a small space, while the rest was filled with various styles of women’s sleepwear and lingerie, from classic to sensual.
With a dry throat, he closed the closet door and entered the bathroom. He planned to take a thorough shower, paying extra attention to his intimate areas.
Though he knew that considering her small size, she might not be able to handle penetration, he had no intentions of pushing it tonight. He didn’t want to hurt her or make her apprehensive about intimacy in the future.
After Su Shen finished his shower, Gu Zi lay on the bed pretending to sleep, her cheeks flushed with anticipation. She listened to his approaching footsteps, her heart racing. Would he make a move tonight, just as she hoped?
In fact, she was looking forward to it.
One side of the bed slowly sank as he lifted the covers and carefully pulled her into his embrace. Gu Zi felt a bit anxious; she hadn’t actually fallen asleep. She was eagerly anticipating their first night together.
He kissed her earlobe softly, and then, there was silence.
After waiting for a while, Gu Zi turned to face him and whispered, “Su Shen, I haven’t fallen asleep yet.”
She spoke softly, not daring to look at him, waiting for his response.
Su Shen remained silent but turned on his side to kiss her. His tongue, as gentle as a snake, explored her mouth before he slowly shifted his body, pressing her beneath him. He released her lips.
Their eyes locked, and Gu Zi was captivated by the intensity of his gaze. Her heart raced..
