Rebirth: Sensational Military Wife in 70s...

Chapter 19: This Asset is Incredible

Perhaps because he went to bed too late, Lu Weiguo finally succumbed to sleep after Shi Tingyu had stolen the blanket.

Shi Tingyu woke up in the morning, feeling hot. She slowly opened her eyes and realized she was wrapped up like a cocoon in the blanket. No wonder it was so warm—it was May, after all.

As she moved her gaze, she noticed the man lying next to her. His breathing was steady, indicating that he was still asleep.

Seeing him pitifully lying there without even a corner of the blanket to cover himself, she felt a bit guilty. But then she thought, at least she hadn't clung to him; she had merely stolen the blanket. Compared to her usual sleeping habits, she had been surprisingly well-behaved last night.

Shi Tingyu loosened the blanket and, pulling one corner, prepared to cover Lu Weiguo, even if it was just over his stomach. It's a cultural instinct for Chinese people to cover their navel.

As her gaze followed her hand that was pulling the blanket, she suddenly noticed something unusual on his body.

When she looked closely, Shi Tingyu was shocked.

She had encountered a morning reaction in a man.

This... this...

Seeing the man's eyes still closed, Shi Tingyu's curiosity got the better of her, and she couldn't help but let her gaze drift downward.

The scale of it was quite impressive.

This asset is incredible.

Lu Weiguo didn't sleep soundly. His natural alertness made him feel as if something was staring at him.

When he opened his eyes, he saw his wife propping herself up on the bed with one hand, holding the blanket with the other, seemingly about to cover him, but the blanket hadn't fallen yet, and her eyes were fixated...

Only then did Lu Weiguo realize his situation was a bit inappropriate.

Understanding immediately, a wave of heat flushed through his face, and an unexpected mix of embarrassment and a secret thrill surged within him.

He pretended nothing was wrong and rolled over, turning his back to Shi Tingyu.

Shi Tingyu was almost startled out of her skin by his sudden movement.

Once she was sure he had just rolled over, she relaxed.

She had almost been caught in the act.

Continuing to act nonchalantly, she covered him with the blanket and slowly lay back down.

But no matter how calm she appeared, the scene from earlier still lingered vividly in her mind.

People often say there's no land too tough for a hardworking ox, but... isn't this a bit too much?

She knew women had a remarkable capacity, but... wasn't this gap a bit too large?

Lost in thought, Shi Tingyu fell asleep again.

This time, Lu Weiguo was the first to wake up.

As he went to wash up, he glanced at his sleeping wife, his eyes deep and with a flicker of something more.

When Shi Tingyu woke up again, her mother had already prepared breakfast.

This time, Lu Weiguo had helped with breakfast—a simple meal of congee with fried dough sticks. The congee was home-cooked, the fried dough sticks bought from outside, and there were also some pickled vegetables from home—a decent breakfast.
