Chapter 1019: Nothing Compares to You (1)

An’an sat on the long bench at the bus stop. She stretched her icy-cold hand out and touched her abdomen. Little Yan, are you like Mom, you can’t go on too?

In the past, she would antic.i.p.ate every dawn, but in the future she would be fearful of every daybreak.

A world without Ah Yan was a world without colors.

An’an curved her lips slightly and gradually looked up.

A bus drove past her before her eyes, and that was when she saw the tall and muscular figure on the opposite road. Her long lashes quivered immediately and her eyes narrowed.

What did she just see?

Was she dreaming?

The person that she had been missing day and night was standing on the road opposite her.

An’an rose immediately and her dress billowed in the chilly winter wind.

Time seemed to have slowed down. Her eyes were filled with that familiar figure.

If this was a dream, she would rather not wake up.

Big droplets of tears cascaded down her face and she smiled amidst her tears. She looked like a fool with her half-crying and half-smiling look.

Lu Yan was waiting for the bus opposite.

He was wearing a gray s.h.i.+rt and black trousers, with the ends of the trousers tucked into black boots. He looked as handsome and muscular as before.

He had not shaved for a very long and his entire face was covered with stubble. His sharp brown eyes swept the buses, but the bus that he was waiting for did not arrive. He pursed his lips in displeasure.

At this moment, a slender and pretty figure suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes and he looked up. On the road opposite him, there was a girl in a long dress and she looked like a freshly bloomed lotus.

An’an.

Thud! The parcel in his hand fell onto the ground.

F**k!

The muscles beneath his gray s.h.i.+rt were all bulked up and as hard as a steel wall. He stared intensely at that figure. With that one gaze, he seemed to a.s.similate her into his flesh and blood.

In the next second, he started walking towards her.

The piercing sound of the horn beeping was heard and the cars were forced to stop. A driver rolled down the car window. “Oi, you have a death wish?!”

Lu Yan glanced sideways and stared balefully at the driver. The driver quivered in fear and immediately retreated into his car. This man could not be trifled with.

“My G.o.d, look, that seems to be General Lu!”

“Yes, it’s really General Lu!”

“That’s wonderful, General Lu is back, General Lu is back home!”…

All the cars came to a stop and the bustling street was quieter. Everyone was looking.

The screeching sound of the car braking ensued. Li Si stopped the car immediately and rubbed his eyes. “Scissors, who’s that in front?

Scissors took a look out of the window. “It’s… it’s General! It’s really General!”

Li Si’s tears fell. The typically refined Li Si uttered a vulgarity. “F*ck! I knew that Yan Zi would survive!”

…

Lu Yan crossed the road with steady footsteps and stopped in front of An’an.

He sized her up and pursed his lips in displeasure. She had become thinner! Her small face was filled with tears and he frowned deeply. “Stop crying, I’m still alive!”

An’an did not listen to him and continued to cry.

This disobedient little thing!

Lu Yan raised his brows and berated in a deep voice, “What are you still idling there for?”

Thinking that she might not comprehend, he added, “Come here!”

These two words were said in a domineering tone.

An’an walked over and stood in front of him. Almost hesitantly, she stretched her hand out to stroke his handsome face.

Was he… real?

But her hand stopped at his cheek and she did not dare to touch him further.

Big droplets of tears streamed down her face and she said in a choking voice, “I’ve often dreamed about this scene but in my dream, the moment I touch you, you disappear…

“I won’t dare to touch you anymore, I will only… look at you like this. Ah Yan, don’t go, baby and I… can’t go on anymore…”

Her shoulders were trembling. Lu Yan promptly stretched his calloused hand and grasped her icy-cold hand, before pulling her into his embrace.

He tightened his grip around this delicate figure, kissed her silky hair and took in her fragrance. He berated in a low voice, “Little la.s.s, your crying makes my heart ache. What are you scared of? I’m back. I won’t leave you again. I missed you so much.”

An’an smiled amidst her tears. It was Ah Yan. It was really her Ah Yan.

His muscular chest was warm and he spoke in a low and deep voice like how he did in the past.

Nothing had changed.

An’an gradually extended her hands to embrace him and she smiled like a fool. He was finally back. How wonderful!

He rushed back home in the nick of time when she and baby could barely go on any longer.

…

In the third month of An’an’s pregnancy, Lu Yan returned from the military at night and prepared dinner.

An’an ate two bowls of rice and her stomach was rotund. She laid on the sofa with her head on Lu Yan’s abdomen as he indolently leaned against the sofa and perused some military doc.u.ments.

She touched the muscles at his torso. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Eight pectoral muscles. Was it too much of a luxury for her to sleep on these eight pectoral muscles every night?

She raised her head and looked at the man. He was focusing on his doc.u.ments and he exuded the demeanor of a General.

He had not even removed his uniform and he merely rolled out his sleeves when he was cooking.

“Ah Yan, will I be fat like a ball if you continue to feed me like this?” she asked.

Lu Yan’s gaze s.h.i.+fted from his doc.u.ments to her rosy face and then he squeezed her cheeks. “You won’t.”

An’an’s heart leaped with joy. He was so sweet.

At this moment, the man added, “b.a.l.l.s can roll but you don’t even know how to roll.”

“…”

What?

What did he say?

An’an looked up at him. He had turned back to peruse his doc.u.ments.

“Lu Yan, you’ve to make yourself clear. Are you saying I’m fat?” She s.n.a.t.c.hed the doc.u.ments away and straddled his muscular thighs with her hands at her waist in a displeased manner.

Lu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her. He took the doc.u.ments and patted her bottom. “No manners, get down.”

“I don’t want to!”

She would not get down!

Lu Yan eyed her figure. She still had an exquisite hourgla.s.s figure, but her stomach was protruding a little and it looked adorable. He looked up again. Hm, it really was larger.

“You’re really not getting down?”

“I’m not!”

Bam! Lu Yan flung his doc.u.ments and lifted her up by her waist. He kicked open the room door and threw her onto the bed.
