Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 27 My Cousin's Thoughts

This distant cousin has never called him first. She only chats with him briefly when she stays at his house for a short time. Moreover, since he saw her washing her underwear in the bathroom last time, the two of them have barely spoken a few words.

After connecting.

Su Yin's sweet voice came through the watch.

"Brother-in-law."

"Xiaoyin, what's up with the call?"

"I... I'd like to ask my cousin-in-law for a favor."

"No problem, tell me, what kind of help do you need?"

Shen Ping said in a gentle voice.

After hesitating for a while, the person on the other end of the phone finally revealed what had happened. It turned out that she and her roommate had been looking for jobs recently, but they had been rejected everywhere. Either the pay was very low, or the jobs were taken advantage of.

The maiden was troubled by this matter.

Su Yin then revealed that Pingwei Materials Company was owned by her cousin-in-law, and her roommate then asked her to introduce her to the company.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping couldn't help but laugh. "It's no big deal. Bring your roommate to the company tomorrow. If you think it's suitable, you can come and intern here."

"Ah... thank you, brother-in-law."

Su Yin was surprised that things went so smoothly, and her tone became relaxed. "Hehe, I'll treat my cousin-in-law to dinner tomorrow."

At the same time, her roommate's excited exclamation came through the phone.

Shen Ping shook his head and ended the call. The company was in a period of rapid development. Not only was the materials company recruiting employees, but the production and sales of gene drugs would also require a large number of people. Therefore, this matter was just something he could do by chance.

The next day.

He told his wife to come to the company today to make arrangements.

Li Yuewei said sourly, "For such a small thing, you could have just called me. Why did you have to call me personally? It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home."

Shen Ping was speechless. "Aren't they all the same?"

"That's different."

"When Xiaoyin helped her roommate, the first person she thought of wasn't me, her cousin, but you, her cousin's husband. That shows that you hold the highest place in her heart."

Li Yuewei snorted, "Were you two exchanging glances behind my back?"

Upon hearing this...

Shen Ping immediately thought of the youthful scenery he had seen in the bathroom twice, but he would never admit to such a thing, even if his wife didn't care. "Wife, what are you thinking about again? She's your distant cousin. If you hadn't kept bringing up that kind of thing, I wouldn't have even had any impure thoughts."

Seeing her husband's serious expression.

Li Yuewei chuckled. "Okay, I was just kidding."

Shen Ping pretended to put on a stern face, "You can't make these kinds of jokes so casually in the future. I'll take them seriously."

The wife quickly grabbed Shen Ping's arm, shaking it and saying in a weak voice, "Husband, I was wrong. I'll make it up to you tonight."

Shen Ping's expression shifted, and he subconsciously asked, "What will you use to compensate me?"

His wife didn't say anything, but her tongue lightly slid along her lips, exuding a captivating charm.

"Don't wait until later, let's do it now."

"Hate."

The days passed quietly in this ordinary yet occasionally fun-filled life. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. Before November was even here, a cold wave from the north swept south, and the leaves on the trees along the roads of the central China base city fell to the ground.

At the entrance of Nanyuan Residential Area.

Mu Yang sat in the driver's seat, rolled down the window, and said, "Brother Shen, the captain will be taking the new recruits to the wilderness area in a few days. I'll practice my knife skills when you have time at the end of the year."

Shen Ping laughed and scolded, "You're progressing so slowly, don't go around saying you learned from me."

Mu Yangqian chuckled and scratched his head.

"Let's go back. I'll have to leave the base city soon. I'm planning to go to South America. If I'm delayed for too long, I might not have time by the end of the year."

Mu Yang was taken aback. "Brother Shen, you...you're going to South America?"

Shen Ping nodded, pointed to his severed arm, and said, "The Amazon rainforest in South America was sparsely populated before the Great Nirvana. After the Great Nirvana, various countries discovered ancient ruins and civilizations deep in the rainforest. So this trip is to try my luck and see if I can find something good to restore my severed arm."

"Don't worry, that senior will guide you."

The worry on Mu Yang's face subsided a little. "Brother Shen, even with Senior War God leading the way, you still have to be very careful. There are quite a few monsters in South America."

"Yes, I will."

Watching Mu Yang leave.

A smile appeared on Shen Ping's face. Once he returned from South America, a large part of his strength would be revealed.

Back at the villa.

Su Yin, wearing a tight-fitting crew neck sweater, was playing with two children. She is currently interning at a company with her roommate and doesn't go back to school during weekends; instead, she lives here.

His gaze unconsciously fell on the rounded curves of her chest, and he couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Compared to his wife who had given birth, Su Yin, who hadn't even graduated yet, truly had a curvaceous figure.

They seemed to have noticed the gaze.

Su Yin turned around and saw Shen Ping, then smiled sweetly and said, "Brother-in-law, my cousin Li Qi just called and asked you to go to the hot pot restaurant. He said there are some people causing trouble while drinking."

These past two years.

Li Qi's hot pot restaurant is doing alright, but he's constantly being bothered by martial artists who often get drunk and cause trouble. Li Qi isn't a martial artist, nor does he have any connections in that area, so he can only turn to Shen Ping for help.

"Have him call Director Chen in the base city directly."

Done.

He went upstairs.

Su Yin followed.

This surprised Shen Ping, who turned to the side and asked, "Xiao Yin, is there something else?"

Su Yin's face suddenly flushed, her eyes darted around, and she didn't know what to do with her long arms. Seeing Shen Ping staring at her, she took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, "Brother-in-law, my cousin said some things to me yesterday, um, about that..."

She seemed too ashamed to speak and couldn't bring herself to say it.

Shen Ping understood. His wife had mentioned before that she would ask his cousin's opinion, and it seemed that she had asked yesterday. So he casually said, "Xiao Yin, don't feel pressured. Your cousin and I respect your thoughts. No one will force you. Even if you don't want to, nothing will change."

"Do you understand?"

Su Yin nodded repeatedly, "I understand. I remember all the kindness my cousin-in-law has shown me, but I'm just not ready yet."

Speaking of which...

She raised her big, watery eyes and continued, "Could you give me some time to think about it?"

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Sure, there's no rush."

"Hehe, thank you, brother-in-law."

Su Yin walked up quickly with a big smile, then gave Shen Ping a light kiss on the cheek, before blushing and running away as if fleeing. She almost stumbled and fell when she reached the corner of the stairs.

Shen Ping stood there, touching the lingering softness on his cheek. His breath seemed to carry the scent of youth, and a smile involuntarily curved his eyes.

A young girl's heart is always full of springtime feelings.
