Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 1486: I Am Willing

"Ah, every time I come over wanting to get close to you, you send me off to work," Lin Sheng said with a look of grievance at Mu Mian, "When was the last time we had a proper conversation? How long has it been since we last went to town together?"

Mu Mian, seeing that Lin Sheng had complaints, stopped her work and wiped her hands on her apron, "Lin Sheng, don’t feel wronged. In a few days, when these two soldiers are better and can walk on their own, I’ll let them go back home. Then, wherever you say you want to go, I’ll go."

"Really?" Lin Sheng’s eyes burned as he looked at Mu Mian, "Then if I say I want to leave this place and start a new life somewhere our families can’t find us, would you be willing?"

"I would," Mu Mian crisply replied. "I’m willing."

"That’s great." Lin Sheng, hearing the answer he wanted to hear, was so excited that his ears turned red, "Now give me a quick kiss, and I’ll go help."

Mu Mian’s face blushed, and she leaned in to peck him quickly like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Lin Sheng touched where he’d been kissed and broke into a broad smile, "Don’t worry. I’ll definitely take care of them."

"Then don’t just stand there, go!" Mu Mian said with a shy smile.

"I’m on it," Lin Sheng hopped and skipped to the house.

Tian Niu was uncomfortable from holding in his pee and was considering whether to get up and take care of it himself. Then, he heard the door bang open, and Lin Sheng came in, bubbling with high spirits.

"Come on, come on, your timing is perfect; I’m about to burst," Tian Niu waved Lin Sheng over as soon as he saw him.

"Haha. Okay, just a second. I’ll grab the bedpan for you." Lin Sheng then dashed off and came back, vigorously rubbing his icy cold hands before warming them up on his own body. He then helped Tian Niu down, "Take it slow. Be sure not to dislodge the healing bone, that would be trouble."

"Don’t worry. I’m being careful. Once this bone is a bit better, I can go back to my wife sooner," Tian Niu chattered non-stop. With all the time apart, what he missed the most was Gu Shuangshuang.

"Qin Jian, how about you? Do you need to go?" Lin Sheng asked Qin Jian.

Qin Jian, not wanting to trouble Lin Sheng too much, had been eating and drinking very little despite Lin Sheng’s assurance that it was not a problem.

"I’m fine. Thank you for taking such good care of us."

"Qin Jian, you really shouldn’t be so formal with me. I’m more than willing to take care of you because I’ve dreamed of being a soldier since I was young. I’ve always envied seeing people in military uniforms. Mianmian has always wished I could enlist," Lin Sheng said with heartfelt excitement when he mentioned it.

"That’s easy to say! Wanting to be a soldier isn’t hard. You’ve helped us so much this time; if you really want to join the army, our regimental commander could help you," Tian Niu said.

"It’s better not to."

"Why?" Qin Jian was always puzzled about Lin Sheng and Mu Mian’s strange attitude, but for a long time, he couldn’t pinpoint the root of the strangeness in this family.

They seemed odd, but in an indescribable way.

In short, it felt like they were hiding something, wanting to tell but unable to say.

"Look at you, kid, why can’t you give people peace of mind?" Tian Niu was being driven crazy by these people, "Why is it that when you all talk, it’s always so hesitant? It’s exasperating! When I ask something, you won’t say anything, and when you finally do talk, you still only say half of it."
