Chapter 173: Donkey + Snake = Captain
'What's going on? Why does it feel like it's been so noisy outside since just now?'
'And is there a loud motorcycle noise outside?'
'It's the middle of the night, it's very disturbing... I finally fell asleep.' Kiana slowly opened her eyes.
Carefully, she pulled away the Captain's hands that were around her waist and on her thighs.
Really, does he instinctively treat her as a large pillow when he sleeps?
She slapped his hand away in anger. Even when he was asleep, the rough hand was still playing tricks on her thigh. No wonder she had dreamed about it just now...
Kiana sighed helplessly, with a hint of regret in her eyes.
The Captain was really tired these two days and needed rest.
After getting up, she sat on the bed like a duck, smoothing her hair which was a little messy from sleeping.
"What's wrong, honey?" Feeling that his arms were suddenly empty, or maybe because Kiana suddenly slapped his hand away, Sora, who usually slept very soundly, slowly woke up.
Since they got married, the two of them had been sleeping in each other's arms.
They were already used to each other's presence, so even a slight disturbance would always wake them up quickly.
"Captain, did you hear any noise outside?" Kiana rubbed her still sleepy eyes.
"Noise? Didn't hear it... I was sleeping so soundly..." Hearing his wife say this, he listened carefully.
There did seem to be some noises outside, but they were so faint that they could easily be ignored.
Kiana rolled her eyes at her Captain in a charming manner: "Captain is such a lazy pig, he can't wake up even if the sky falls when he's asleep."
Sora was speechless for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and smiled mischievously: "Sometimes, Kiana, can't you wake me up easily?"
At the same time, his gaze settled on those bright red lips...
Kiana's face suddenly turned red, and her eyes drifted away unconsciously, not daring to look directly at the Captain.
"Who... who made you, a lazy pig, sleep so soundly! And Captain, you are an unprecedented devil!"
"Who at your age would consider doing morning exercises!" Kiana stubbornly retorted, "Even if you sometimes make people suffer at night!"
"When I woke up the next morning, I saw there was still a bulge under your quilt!"
Thinking of this, Kiana suddenly became angry: "Captain, you make me, as your wife, feel very frustrated!"
"I can't even meet your most basic request..." Kiana sighed a little melancholically, with an expression that couldn't hide the disappointment.
"Oh... My dear wife Kiana, you're being stubborn again." Sora shook his head helplessly and hugged Kiana in his arms with a little force.
He spoke in a very gentle tone: "The purpose of us being together is to share a life. Life isn't just about love and romance..."
"Spiritually, I feel like we're in sync, which is more important than physical love. If you find it troublesome, why don't we try that kind of platonic spiritual love?" He looked at Kiana with a firm gaze.
"Captain..." Kiana was also very moved when she heard these words, but...
"Captain, if you keep your hands still when you say these things, I might believe you." She slapped his hand away very skillfully, which had somehow sneaked up her front armor under her pajamas.
She rolled her eyes at her Captain again. Although there was a hint of reproach in her words, the slight desire that throbbed in her heart was barely concealed in her tone.
"Accidentally... I'm used to it..." Sora's eyes slowly changed, and he looked around like a guilty thief. "Kiana, it's already late at night, Little Ai should be asleep..."
The invitation in his words was unmistakable...
"You're just pretending to be stupid! You should know that after Little Ai was born, you especially added a thick sound insulation layer to our bedroom." Kiana was honestly a bit speechless. Here he was, almost 30 years old, very reliable in everyday life, yet sometimes as impulsive as a young boy.
Of course, only Kiana could see this more playful side of Sora.
Little Ai, feeling her parents were overly affectionate most days, had no idea that they restrained themselves in front of her, though they were more open in private...
"Before, when you were in the hospital, I..." Kiana's face turned slightly red, obviously remembering the nurse uniform she'd tucked away in a cabinet.
"And you look tired even during the day, Captain, are you okay?" Kiana twisted her body awkwardly, her face slightly flushed.
But she still worried about her Captain's health.
"My dear wife." He clenched his fists and raised his shoulders, his arm muscles flexing with life. "How capable is your Captain? It's been so many years—don't you realize it?"
"This level of fatigue will be completely healed after a short rest!"
"Ah, yes..." Kiana was left speechless.
Every time her soul leaves her body, her whole body trembles... her saliva flows out uncontrollably, her eyes go dark, and she can't even focus.
In severe cases, she even loses control of her muscles...
The Captain is like a combination of a donkey and a snake... Why this metaphor?
The former speaks of physical strength, size, and vitality... while the latter speaks of longevity...
'Isn't it said that middle-aged men eventually feel fear towards their wives after a certain period...How come I'm the one who feels that way at home?' Kiana couldn't help but reflect there.
Just as Kiana was lost in thought, she snapped back to the present to find the Captain already pressing her back onto the bed...
Meanwhile, outside at the dessert shop on the first floor,
Bronya, Seele, and Little Ai remained completely unaware of what was happening back home...
