Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 665: Chapter 659: Chu Molin Returns Home
 

Although Chu Molin’s food at the academy wasn’t bad, it was still a far cry from his wife’s cooking. The aroma alone was enough to make him dig in heartily, despite not feeling very hungry.

“Slow down, no one’s competing with you.” Qin Xue sat beside him, somewhat frightened by his eagerness. How long had it been since he last ate to be this hungry? As far as she knew, the food at the military school should be decent.

“Are you not used to the food at school?” Qin Xue wondered if it was due to his taste buds since he still seemed hungry even with decent food provided.

“A little, but it’s not too bad.” Chu Molin preferred lighter flavors, but after getting used to Qin Xue’s cooking, he had developed a taste for stronger flavors. So when he ate the big-pot food at the academy, he did feel a little uncomfortable. Nevertheless, he still ate quite a lot during each meal.

Only when he was full could he have the energy to study. His study schedule was really packed, leaving him no time to waste.

Chu Molin couldn’t tell if it was because Qin Xue had introduced him to the art of war and array, but his memory had become quite impressive, allowing him to learn faster. As he thought about this, he glanced up at Qin Xue.

“What’s the matter? Is the food not good?” Qin Xue asked him, wondering if he had suddenly stopped enjoying the meal.

“Nothing, it just feels like I haven’t seen you in a long time, so I want to look at you more. I want to see if you’ve been eating well or if you’ve lost any weight,” Chu Molin said with a smile.

“How’s that possible? Can’t you see that I’ve actually put on weight? I feel like I’ve gained so much!” Qin Xue pinched her own face, explaining that she had definitely not lost weight since she’d been eating a lot of rich food over the week.

“Let me see… Hm, I don’t think so.” Chu Molin moved closer and looked at her, puzzled at how she appeared even more beautiful to him. Could it be due to missing her so much?

“What kind of look is that? It’s so obvious, yet you can’t see it? Are you purposely saying that?” Qin Xue looked at him discontentedly, thinking he was trying to trick her.

“No, really. Look at your waist, I can easily hold it with one hand,” Chu Molin said, observing her slender waist. He couldn’t figure out why, despite having given birth to two children, his wife remained slim while other women gained weight – it was as if she had never been pregnant. Even a young girl’s figure wouldn’t compare to hers.

Qin Xue couldn’t figure this out either, attributing it to the spiritual spring water’s benefits.

Qin Xue believed the spiritual spring water must have the effect of strengthening the body and eliminating toxins, which would have helped her remove any toxins left in her body after carrying and giving birth to the children.

But this wasn’t something that could be explained, so she did not respond to Chu Molin’s comment.

“Xue’er, you should eat more. Otherwise, your parents might think I’m abusing you and not feeding you,” Chu Molin joked, thinking about how they might react.

“Don’t say nonsense. If I’m considered mistreated the way you care for me, then there wouldn’t be any good men in the world,” Qin Xue retorted.

“Hehe, as long as you’re happy!” Chu Molin laughed happily, knowing his wife thought highly of him.

“Does it make you that happy just because I said you’re a good man?” Qin Xue looked at him suddenly laughing, and realizing which part of her words made him happy.

“Yes, is there anything more delightful than one’s wife’s praise and approval?” Chu Molin admitted without hesitation.

“It seems I don’t compliment you enough,” Qin Xue thought, realizing her husband was actually quite reserved when it came to compliments.
