Chapter 860 A Selfish and Greedy Country Wife Accompanying the Army (24)
My nose is a little itchy.
For a moment, Cheng Lifeng almost thought he was getting a nosebleed.
Seeing him standing there staring blankly at her, Mu Zhou placed the porridge on the table and looked at him strangely:
"What's wrong? Come and eat."
Mu Zhou gestured for him to sit down.
Cheng Lifeng walked over stiffly and sat down upright.
It's strange, they were so intimate last night, and even this morning.
But at this moment, he was so shy that he dared not look directly at her.
After finishing his meal in silence, Mu Zhou said:
"Remember to lock the door when you leave. Fangjie and I are going to the bookstore."
Cheng Lifeng still had to go back to the army, while Mu Zhou had already arranged his itinerary for the day. In the afternoon, he and Sister Fang would go to the city to browse bookstores and buy some things.
Cheng Li gave a low "hmm".
He finished eating quickly, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on Mu Zhou again.
Upon noticing this, Mu Zhou's lips curled into a smile.
She put down her chopsticks, stood up, and turned around in front of him.
Like a butterfly.
"How's it going? Does it look good?"
She proudly raised her chin.
This is a brand new dress she bought; she hasn't worn it yet.
Cheng Lifeng stared at her openly and nodded earnestly:
"nice."
Mu Zhou smiled and slowly approached him.
Cheng Lifeng instinctively put his arm around her waist and looked up.
Mu Zhou lowered his eyes, looking down at her from his high position.
I always feel that looking at him from this angle has a unique charm.
It was as if he were kneeling at his feet, gazing at him with reverence.
Mu Zhou draped her arms over his shoulders, raised her eyebrows, and teased:
"Is it really that good-looking? You're practically staring at it."
His ears turned red, but he still nodded honestly:
"nice."
Mu Zhou burst out laughing.
She cupped his face and leaned down to kiss him.
"A reward for honesty."
Cheng Lifeng's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared at her rosy lips, a dark undercurrent rising in his eyes.
Mu Zhou was still talking to himself:
"I also want to get my hair permed, like the wavy curls you see on TV."
"……it is good."
After Cheng Lifeng finished speaking, he pulled the person into his arms, placed him on his lap, tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and kissed him.
A broken murmur escaped Mu Zhou's throat.

Just as Mu Zhou was leaving, Zhao Lifang arrived at her doorstep.
She couldn't help but glance at Mu Zhou's face a few more times.
I felt that Mu Zhou's eyes were particularly shimmering today.
His eyes seemed to be filled with water droplets, sparkling.
Seeing her strange expression, Mu Zhou asked:
"What's wrong, is there something on my face?"
She subconsciously touched her face.
Fang Jie smiled:
No, you look especially beautiful today.
Upon hearing that Cheng Lifeng had returned, Sister Fang couldn't help but say:
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder. You miss him, and he misses you too. He can't wait even one night."
Seeing the young couple's good relationship, she couldn't help but sigh.
The two went to the city together and first went to a bookstore to buy books.
Fangjie bought it for her child, while Muzhou bought it for himself.
After buying the hair, Fangjie learned that Muzhou wanted to get his hair permed, and she was also tempted.
In the end, they went directly to a well-known hair salon in the city.
The two returned before evening.
Inside the compound, many people were sitting by the roadside chatting.
Mu Zhou attracted countless onlookers along the way.
Mu Zhou was already used to this kind of gaze.
Anyway, ever since she arrived here, she has been the focus of conversation.
Sure enough, after saying hello, they started chatting again as soon as she left.
"Commander Cheng's wife has become more and more charming; she doesn't look like she comes from the countryside at all."
"Looks good, like a movie star, so fashionable!"
"She was naturally good-looking; she just did too much farm work before."
"That's right. Now Battalion Commander Cheng spoils her and doesn't let her do anything, so she's getting better and better."
"Look at her, so plump and smooth."
"It's true that people have different fates. We both come from the countryside, so why does my husband only look down on me?"
"Then why don't you learn from her and be willing to spend money on yourself? Look at her clothes, they're so nice, they could cost you almost half a month's living expenses, would you be willing to spend that?"
"I...what is there to be reluctant about! I'm going to the city tomorrow, I'm getting my hair permed, and I'm buying new clothes!"
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow too, let's be fashionable for once."
The group chattered amongst themselves, agreeing to get their hair permed the next day.
When Mu Zhou returned home, the lights were on inside.
She knew that Cheng Lifeng had returned.
Seeing the figure in the kitchen, Mu Zhou put down her things and jogged over to him:
"Look, isn't it beautiful?"
She tossed a strand of her long, curly hair aside and winked at Cheng Lifeng with a captivating charm.
Those beautiful eyes seemed to have hooks, making Cheng Lifeng's heart flutter.
Mu Zhou turned around with satisfaction and left the kitchen.
That evening, Mu Zhou took a shower in the small bathroom at home.
Before Cheng Lifeng was away, she would go to the public bathhouse.
After washing up, she naturally went back to Cheng Lifeng's room.
Now that her belongings have been gradually moved here, the two no longer have a reason to separate.
The once quiet and deserted room is now filled with her presence.
Cheng Lifeng discovered this when he opened the cupboard early in the morning.
Next to the neat military uniforms, there was a sea of bright colors.
These are all Mu Zhou's clothes.
He likes this change.
Mu Zhou sat in front of the mirror, remembering that there was a dry towel in the previous room. Just as she was about to get it, she caught a glimpse of the towel she wanted on the hook.
She was stunned.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that many of the things she had left in her previous room were now here.
She looked at Cheng Lifeng, her eyes filled with a meaningful gaze.
Yes, after Cheng Lifeng returned, he moved all of Mu Zhou's belongings over to prevent Mu Zhou from having any chance of continuing their separation.
Mu Zhou gave him a reproachful look and tossed the towel to him:
"Come and blow-dry my hair."
Cheng Lifeng took out a hair dryer and obediently stood behind her.
The buzzing sound of the wind filled his ears, and Mu Zhou felt sleepy, so he closed his eyes.
Cheng Lifeng carefully dried the hair on his hands.
Her once long, straight, black hair was now curled into circles, giving her a slightly playful look.
He was focused on drying his hair, and the moment he turned it off, he saw Mu Zhou leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed.
She was wearing a tie-up nightgown with a rather low neckline.
The traces from last night were thus exposed, reminding Cheng Lifeng of what he had done.
His eyes darkened slightly as he carefully placed the hairdryer, preparing to gently lift Mu Zhou into his arms.
Unfortunately, Mu Zhou woke up as soon as he was picked up.
She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed herself against him:
"Very sleepy."
"Well, go to sleep."
He put Mu Zhou on the bed and tucked her in.
Just as he was about to turn around and pack his things again, Mu Zhou grabbed his collar.
"Don't go..."
She clung to him and leaned in to kiss the corner of his mouth.
After kissing him, she went and started to pull off his shirt.
"Mu Zhou..."
Cheng Lifeng's voice was terribly hoarse. He gripped her wrist tightly, and after a moment, he said:
"I……"
Mu Zhou leaned in again and sealed his lips with hers.
"Do not talk."
This completely ignited the dark yet vigorous flame in Cheng Lifeng's heart.
