I Married a Commander and Became a Galaxy Star

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Want to Get a Closer Look?

My mom and uncle have asked the same question.

When Shu Yao answered them, she didn’t lie, but she did hold back. She didn’t explain everything because she didn’t want to upset them.

Gazing at the buffer zone, illuminated by the brilliant lights of her neighbor’s house, Shu Yao sighed wistfully.

”You might not know this, but for abandoned people like us, it’s impossible to get anywhere up there. We can’t go anywhere without identification papers.

Before the battle for Ice City, security in the Lower Star District was lax, so we could still sneak out and take a look around.

But after the battle for Ice City, they tightened security in the Lower Star District, basically sealing off any way out for us.

And that’s right around when you and I were just getting started... After that, I asked around about you, trying to find out where you were.

But I never heard any news about you. Combined with a few other uncertainties, I just... gradually gave up.”

A thousand emotions, too complex to put into words, churned within Qin Shiwei.

He was the one who had personally issued the order to tighten security in the Lower Star District after the battle for Ice City. He never imagined that a single command would be the very thing to brutally sever the bridge connecting him and Shu Yao.

Noticing that the man hadn’t touched his chopsticks, Shu Yao urged him, ”Come on, eat.”

Before Qin Shiwei could even process his regret, his chopsticks were snatched from his hand.

Shu Yao twirled a large clump of noodles with the chopsticks and held it to his lips. ”You’re a grown man, do you still need someone to feed you?!”

The corner of Qin Shiwei’s mouth twitched. Just as he was about to take a bite, he heard Shu Yao grumble:

”What time is it, and the neighbor’s lights are still on? They have zero awareness of saving energy. If I knew those people, I’d have them stand right here so I could knock all their teeth out!”

The man’s lips twitched, and he instantly lost the courage to open his mouth.

Shu Yao took the empty bowl away. When she returned, the man had already taken off his outer shirt.

His white shirt softened his sharp, imposing aura somewhat.

Shu Yao snuck into her younger uncle’s room, found a set of pajamas, and brought them over.

”Change into this. You’ll sleep more comfortably.”

Qin Shiwei stared at the pajamas, seeming to wonder why she had men’s things in her home.

Shu Yao explained, ”They’re my younger uncle’s. They’re clean; I don’t think he’s worn them much.”

Realization dawned on Qin Shiwei.

’Right, there are several men in the Shu Family.’

As Qin Shiwei undid the buttons of his shirt one by one, he noticed a certain someone staring intently at his hands, and the corners of his lips curved up in amusement.

He deliberately slowed his hands, his deep voice laced with temptation. ”Want to come closer for a better look?”

Shu Yao wrenched her gaze away, stubbornly denying it. ”No! I wasn’t looking at anything!”

Charmed by her childish side, Qin Shiwei let out a low chuckle.

Shu Yao hung his discarded uniform on a hanger, then glanced at her son in the sleep pod before climbing into bed.

The moment she got into bed, the man’s arms shot out, locking around her waist and pulling her into his embrace.

Shu Yao was about to struggle, but she realized the man wasn’t making any further moves.

The second he pulled her down and into his arms, he went still.

Shu Yao turned on her side to look at him and saw that his eyes were closed. He was already fast asleep.

’He fell asleep instantly.’

’Doesn’t seem like he has a sleep disorder at all.’

After turning off the light, Shu Yao found a comfortable position in the man’s arms and drifted off to sleep as well.

The next day, Shu Yao was trampled awake by a certain little guy. Before she even opened her eyes, she heard a continuous SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF next to her. She stretched lazily and then pulled the fluffy little guy into her arms.

”Morning, sweetie.”

Xiao Juzi’s eyes were filled with confusion. ”Why does Mommy’s bed smell like that annoying guy?”
