Chapter 285 Once things improve, you'll build me a small villa with a garden!
Late at night, Qiao Manman was sleeping when she suddenly heard the system excitedly shout: "Host, host, Meng Peiyu has left Northeast China! You can relax for a while!"
Qiao Manman: "......"
He suddenly opened his eyes, wondering if he had misheard: "Dr. Tong, was it you who was speaking just now?"
"Yes, host, you can go into the space to play now!"
Qiao Manman rubbed her fingers together in surprise and crushed a teleportation talisman.
With a flash, he appeared in the closet of the bedroom in the family compound.
Qiao Manman lowered her voice and called out, "Lu Yuan, it's me!"
She was afraid that this guy would be wary and mistake her for a bad person.
There was no movement for a long time.
Qiao Manman pushed open the cabinet door and found the room dark, the bed empty, and the bedding rolled up.
"This is... a mission?"
"No, host, your man is having insomnia in his dorm!"
Qiao Manman put her hands on her hips: "Why didn't you remind me? You made me waste a teleportation scroll!"
"You ran too fast, what else could it be! Hehehe, host, stop pretending to be serious. I know you want to see Lu Yuan, so hurry up and go before he falls asleep!"
"Is he alone?"
"Yes, it's hard to sleep alone!"
Qiao Manman chuckled softly, showing no hurry.
She flashed into the space, took a shower in the bathroom, changed into a beautiful nightgown, and then crushed the directional teleportation talisman with a fragrant scent.
Lu Yuan had just finished writing the letter and was lying in bed, feeling sleepy, when something fell from the sky and hit him in the chest, causing pain.
A soldier's instincts kicked in, and he instinctively grabbed Qiao Manman's neck, but just before he could pull hard, he heard his wife's soft, familiar voice: "It's me, Lu Yuan!"
Lu Yuan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, tracing Qiao Manman's outline with his finger. Confirming it wasn't a hallucination, he pulled her tightly into his arms.
"Why did you suddenly come out?"
"I missed you!" Qiao Manman poked Lu Yuan's shoulder: "Let go of me, it's hurting my chest!"
Lu Yuan let go, instinctively massaging her breasts. After a couple of rubs, he realized something was wrong: "You, I, well..."
Qiao Manman laughed heartily: "Little coward, I've already activated the soundproof array!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately pinned her down: "Since my wife is so impatient, I'll show you my strength!"
Qiao Manman wrapped her arms around his neck: "Have you taken a shower?"
"Ah, this..." Due to the limited conditions in the dormitory, he simply wiped it clean.
Qiao Manman hesitated for a moment, then pulled him into the space. From night to day, Lu Yuan closed his eyes uncomfortably, only to be shoved into the bathroom by Qiao Manman: "Go wash!"
Lu Yuan paused for a moment before opening his eyes. He stared blankly at the exquisite and luxurious bathroom.
It wasn't until Qiao Manman came in with brand new toiletries that he snapped out of his daze: "Wife, where is this?"
"This is the territory of the Goddess of Fertility!" Qiao Manman didn't say much, just told him which side had cold water and which side had hot water, and then went out.
Lu Yuan, left in shock, stripped off his clothes like a puppet, turned on the shower, and scrubbed the dirt off his body.
Fifteen minutes later, he came out and said, "I'm done washing!"
Qiao Manman pulled him to the vanity and used a hairdryer to dry his hair.
Looking at the room's layout in the mirror, Lu Yuan asked somewhat awkwardly, "Is this your boudoir?"
"Yes, isn't it pretty?"
"Beautiful!" Lu Yuan clenched his fist: "Marrying me is a sacrifice for you!"
Qiao Manman turned off the hairdryer, looked into his eyes in the mirror, and said, "Then when things get better, you'll build me a small villa, the kind with a garden!"
Lu Yuan grasped her hand: "Okay!"
Qiao Manman asked, "Shall I show you around?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "We should be careful in the territory of the Goddess of Fertility. It would be bad if we offended her!"
Besides, I only feel at ease when I'm in my dorm. Being able to come in and take a shower is already a great privilege!
Qiao Manman felt rather complicated after hearing his words. On one hand, she felt that the space was her private territory and didn't want to bring people in, as it would be a test of their character.
On the other hand, this was her lover, and she wanted to share it with him, to let him experience the vibrancy of the space. Besides, he had been promised the same thing and wouldn't betray her.
Qiao Manman smiled with relief and hugged Lu Yuan, saying okay. Just as she was about to lead him out, Lu Yuan suddenly realized: "Your dress..."
It's like wearing nothing at all; it's rather alluring.
Before he could even see what lay inside, Qiao Manman led him out of the space. The two of them slumped softly onto the bed, the pitch-black room amplifying their senses.
Even with the soundproof array activated, he still spoke in a breathy voice.
Qiao Manman shared her daily life at the research institute with Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan told her how much he missed her these past few days.
"So I've started writing to you. One letter a day, and I've already accumulated five since the second day."
"So, we've been apart for so long!"
Lu Yuan leaned down and kissed Qiao Manman on the forehead: "When are you planning to come back?"
"We agreed on half a month, right? I haven't been handling anything too confidential during this time, so I should be able to get away on time!"
Lu Yuan smiled: "Then I'll be there to pick you up on time!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "Okay!"
What followed, naturally, was something indescribable. The dark environment and the cautious mood only added to the excitement.
As the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, Qiao Manman gently poked Lu Yuan's chest: "I should go back now!"
Lu Yuan held her waist tightly with both hands: "Let me hug you again!"
Qiao Manman pressed her ear against his chest, listening to his heart pounding powerfully. Recalling the madness just now, she couldn't help but blush.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door in the hallway: "Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, we have a mission!"
Qiao Manman quickly put away the soundproof array plate and poked Lu Yuan's arm with her finger.
Lu Yuan said, "Wait a moment!"
Looking at Qiao Manman with reluctant eyes, he said, "I have to go on a mission!"
Qiao Manman redeemed a few Rejuvenation Pills from the system shop and put them in a porcelain bottle for him: "I'll wait for you to come back and pick me up!"
Lu Yuan grunted in response, watching Qiao Manman crush the teleportation talisman and disappear before his eyes. Only then did he quickly put on his clothes and open the door, showing no sign that he had just done something bad.
Of course, it was also because Qiao Manman had put a revitalizing talisman on him before she left to remove any unwanted smells.
Qiao Manman returned to her dormitory, quickly tidied herself up, and went to bed.
Thinking back on what just happened, I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Host, you're really worthless. You spent two or three hundred points just for some sauce and stuff!"
Qiao Manman scoffed: "We're husband and wife, it's normal for men and women to have sex. But you, have you ever thought about finding a partner? By the way, are you a male or female partner?"
"Host, you've gone too far! Everyone's very angry!"
"Okay, okay, darling, I'm sorry, I was wrong. How about this, let Lu Yuan do more missions so we can earn points? What do you think?"
The system snorted coldly and said hesitantly, "Add another 180 merit points!"
Qiao Manman snapped her fingers: "Deal!"
