　　"Stay away from me, don't get too close."

　　Seeing that Song Zhen was about to lean over to kiss her again, Su Yaoyun quickly turned her head to the side as if to refuse.

　　After she came back from the hospital, she hadn't washed her hair or taken a bath for many days, and she felt dirty. She couldn't stand Song Zhen getting closer and closer, and she even disliked herself.

　　Song Zhen ignored her refusal and hugged Su Yaoyun in a strong and unyielding manner, saying, "Be good, bear with it for a while, okay? The weather is cold now, and we wipe our bodies every day, so they are very clean."

　　Then he lowered his eyelids and whispered in her ear: "We only need to endure this kind of suffering once."

　　Su Yaoyun paused in his refusal and asked, "What do you mean?"

　　Song Zhen kissed her forehead and said, "I'm going to get sterilized. I don't want you to suffer like this anymore."

　　What Song Zhen didn't say was that he was outside the delivery room that day, listening to his wife's cries of pain from time to time in the operating room. He was so scared that he broke out in cold sweats and wished he could transfer the pain to himself.

　　Since there was no way to help his wife share the pain, he might as well just solve the problem from the source.

　　Su Yaoyun was silent for a moment, looking at the man quietly without saying anything, then she smiled, and thought to herself that her vision was always good.

　　Seeing that the man was still clingy, she thought for a moment and asked, "Is your work in Province Y going well?"

　　Song Zhen shook his head and sighed helplessly: "The seeds still can't be planted."

　　Su Yaoyun frowned and asked, "So what are you going to do?"

　　Then he asked, "Are you going back to Province Y soon?"

　　Song Zhen touched her head and said softly, "I'll stay for a few more days to finish the work at hand before leaving. I'll come back when the baby is one month old, okay?"

　　The child was born only a few days ago and his wife was still recovering, so as a husband, he should be by her side.

　　However, he also knew that the wild soybean work in Province Y could not stop. Just as Yao Yun had guessed, every minute and every second of their work was extremely precious.

　　Otherwise, if we are caught up by the wolves and tigers that are eyeing us, the consequences will be disastrous.

　　Su Yaoyun could see her husband's difficulties and hardships. Thinking about how her husband had been running around for her recently, she hadn't slept well for several nights.

　　She touched the faint dark circles under his eyes with heartache, slowly placed the man's big hand on her face, and gently rubbed the palm covered with thin calluses with her cheek.

　　"Go ahead, I will take care of myself and the baby. Remember that the baby and I will always be proud of you, and the babies will understand."

　　Song Zhen gently stroked her face with his hands without saying anything, until Su Yaoyun felt uncomfortable with his stare and wanted to take action, then he suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms.

　　Then he buried half of his face in her collarbone, and with his right hand he restrained her hand, which she wanted to move, and placed it on his chest. His movements were intimate, as if he was treating her like a treasure, but also like he was imprisoning her, making her unable to move.
