Chapter 102 Who's the More Shameless One?
Shu Yun shook her head. The light bulb in the room was not very bright, and the corners of the room were still dim. Shu Yun couldn't help but suspect that she saw a pair of red eyes in some corner again, which made her heart pound very fast.
"I want to follow you."
Helpless, Gu Jun fetched water to take a shower in the yard, but seeing that people were still following him, he asked, "Do you want to watch me take a shower?"
Gu Jun took off his shirt, revealing his strong and powerful body. With the movement, his muscles rippled slightly, revealing broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and smooth lines that flowed downwards. Shu Yun couldn't stand it anymore, blushing as she turned her back. "You pervert."
Gu Jun was helpless. Whose behavior was more outrageous?
However, it felt good to be clung to by his wife, and Gu Jun's lips curled up slightly, indicating his good mood.
Lying in bed, Gu Jun held Shu Yun in his arms and comforted her, "It's alright now, Xiao Yun, relax. We've already caught the mouse, haven't we?"
Shu Yun: "Do you think there might be more, but we just haven't discovered them yet?"
Well… we can’t really guarantee there won’t be any rats in the mountains. “It’s okay, I’ll buy some rat poison tomorrow and seal up all the small holes in the house.”
Shu Yun buried her head in Gu Jun's arms and muttered, "So annoying."
Gu Jun was both amused and exasperated. "Don't be afraid. Actually, rats aren't scary. They're not big. If you're brave enough, you can stomp one to death."
"Save your breath." Shu Yun shuddered at the thought of it. "If I really did that, I'd have to throw away my shoes and I wouldn't be able to wear them anymore."
"It's not very brave. If you see it again, don't be afraid. You might yell at it and it will run away faster than you."
If Gu Jun were really in front of him, he could crush it with his bare hands, but he shouldn't tell Shu Yun about it, for fear that Shu Yun would find it offensive.
"Go to sleep." Gu Jun gently patted Shu Yun's back, as if coaxing a child. Shu Yun's body relaxed a bit and gradually drifted off to sleep. However, the aftereffects were still quite severe. At home, she would carry a wooden stick every day, just waiting for some blind mouse to come out and hit it with the stick. This state lasted for several more days before it subsided.
After finishing the new issue of the comic book, Shu Yun had some free time. She helped Kang Xianqin organize the files and spent the day writing and drawing. When the clock on the wall struck 6 o'clock, she grabbed her bag and left work.
"Comrade Shuyun, there's a letter for you." Shuyun was stopped by the sentry at the gate of the family compound. After registering her information and receiving the letter, she was a little puzzled when she saw that the sender was a publishing house. "She hasn't submitted any manuscripts recently, has she?"
"Yun, is this a letter from the publishing house? Is it the royalties from the comic book's publication? How much is it? Let me know so I can check it." The sister-in-law next to Shu Yun leaned closer, her eyes glued to the envelope in Shu Yun's hand, wishing she could open it for Shu Yun.
Shu Yun smiled and said, "It's not much, not as much as you earn as a factory worker, sister-in-law."
As Shu Yun spoke, she put the letter into her bag in front of everyone, saying, "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. I still need to go back and cook dinner."
My sister-in-law, full of curiosity, was left standing there staring blankly.
Gu Jun returned home when it was almost completely dark. Shu Yun was still busy in the kitchen, humming a song. She had placed a wooden stick within easy reach. Gu Jun raised an eyebrow and walked in. "I'm in a good mood today."
Shu Yun glanced at him. "I have good news. I'll tell you later. Let's eat first."
Gu Jun helped carry the food to the yard, and the two of them sat around a table to eat. Axi went to Shu Yun's feet and occasionally ate a piece of the bone that Shu Yun threw to it, while its big tail swept the ground idly.
After they had almost finished eating, Shu Yun unfolded the envelope she had received and showed it to Gu Jun. "My comic book has been well received. The publisher has decided to reprint 200 million copies. We should be able to get about 2000 to 3000 yuan in royalties."
Shu Yun held her head high, looking very proud, just like a haughty cat. Gu Jun stroked her fur and said, "Great job. Comrade Shu Yun will be very successful in the future. She is truly the pillar of our family."
Shu Yun was delighted to hear this and quickly finished her food in a few bites. "Don't worry, once this money comes through, I'll give you an extra yuan of pocket money every month."
After finishing that, Shu Yun brought up another matter related to her work. She smiled particularly happily, "By the way, you don't know yet, but tomorrow a few of us from the propaganda department are going to your military camp. We'll submit the application in advance, and our director plans to take us to see the soldiers' heroic bearing on the training ground. This will help our creative work and better express the perseverance and strength of the People's Liberation Army comrades."
"Maybe I'll even see some muscular hunks," Shu Yun rubbed her hands together, feeling a little excited.
Although she liked Gu Jun's beautiful muscle definition, she thought it was nice to look at the same type all the time; after all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Gu Jun put down his chopsticks and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Are you in such a good mood today because you got paid for your writing or because you're going to the military camp tomorrow?"
Shu Yun glanced at him, fearlessly declaring, "Both are true, we're doing it openly and honestly!"
Gu Jun gritted his teeth, "Fine, so you call it 'open and aboveboard'?"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Jun swept her up in his arms, startling Shu Yun so much that her eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing? We were eating perfectly fine."
"Yes, I need to eat properly now." Gu Jun leaned closer to Shu Yun and kissed her rosy lips.
The night was long, and Ah-happy would occasionally look up, her ears twitching alertly. She thought she heard her master's faint crying, like a cat meowing.
As expected, Shu Yun overslept again, and by the time she got up, Gu Jun had already left.
On the bedside table next to her was a cup of warm brown sugar water. Shu Yun drank several sips and felt her throat was much more comfortable, and she felt much more energetic.
Recalling everything from last night, and hearing Gu Jun's gentle coaxing, Shu Yun felt both ashamed and angry. She started pounding Gu Jun's pillow, yelling, "You dog of a man, go to hell!"
Shu Yun is now a working person, but she's still a newcomer. Being late is never a good thing, so she reluctantly got out of bed, dragging her aching body.
While getting dressed, she looked in the mirror and carefully checked herself over. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that Gu Gouzi hadn't left any marks on her body. He was quite obedient; otherwise, Shu Yun would definitely have kicked Gu Jun off the bed tonight.
Today was the day the propaganda department went to visit the military camp. Everyone was very excited. Kang Xianqin even carried a small cloth bag with snacks like peanuts and candied fruit inside, making it look like a spring outing.
The sentries at the military camp confirmed their identities and checked their belongings before an officer led them in.
Although it was a visit, they could only look around the outer areas, such as the playground and the grass. They were lucky; there happened to be a team training on the grass.
"Ha, ha, ha." The loud, high-pitched voices were in unison.
They lay down, stood up, crawled forward, and leaped forward in unison. When they kicked their legs forward, the surrounding air vibrated with sound waves.
Shu Yun watched with great interest, when Kang Xianqin tugged at her hand and asked, "Isn't that officer over there your husband?"
