The mother and her two children were covered in sweat after finishing their farm work.

Shen Lu then remembered that the two little ones had taken their own baths yesterday, and she wondered if they were clean enough.

Shen Lu said as she looked for clothes for the two little ones.

"Wait a minute, Mom will help you take a bath."

The two little ones immediately covered themselves up tightly, and Gu Xingyu solemnly refused.

"How can a real man let a woman help him take a bath?"

Shen Lu was amused by his serious little expression and pinched Gu Xingyu's nose.

"You're still a child, it's only natural for a mother to bathe her child."

Gu Xingyu paused for a moment upon hearing the word "Mom".

He had heard before that other children had their parents help them bathe and do their clothes.

While Gu Xingyu was still in a daze, Shen Lu had already stripped the two little ones naked and thrown them into the bathroom.

Gu Xingze stood there obediently while Shen Lu scrubbed and showered him, while Gu Xingyu struggled like a fish jumping on a chopping board.

After washing them, Shen Lu was so exhausted that she was panting heavily, and realized she didn't need to do any aerobics today.

After the two little ones finished their bath, they looked like completely different people, with fair and rosy skin and wet hair.

Shen Lu looked delighted and took out the snow cream she had just bought that day from her backpack, applying it evenly to the faces of the two little ones.

Gu Xingyu touched his smooth face and then smelled it.

"It smells so good..."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on her face, revealing two small dimples at the corners of her mouth.

In the two days since Shen Lu transmigrated here, this was the first time she had seen Gu Xingyu smile. His adorable appearance was even cuter than the child stars she had seen in modern society.

Shen Lu couldn't resist any longer and stepped forward to cup Gu Xingyu's face and give him a big kiss.

Gu Xingyu's face flushed red instantly.

To Shen Lu's surprise, the little guy didn't flinch this time, but instead shyly buried his face in her arms.

Shen Lu felt the soft little one in her arms, and her empty heart was filled to the brim.

In the evening, after tidying up, Shen Lu went to the study to prepare for bed.

Family doctor Gu Xingze appeared in the study on time with his medical kit.

Shen Lu cooperated fully with Gu Xingze applying the medicine to her.

They not only treated Shen Lu's head injury, but also the one on her neck.

Today, Gu Xingyu no longer watched Shen Lu from afar as before, but walked in with Gu Xingze, acting as a nurse.

They handed me iodine solution one minute and gauze the next.

Seeing the thumb-sized wound on Shen Lu's head, Gu Xingyu bit his lip, feeling somewhat guilty.

After the two left, Shen Lu prepared to go to sleep.

At that moment, the study door opened a crack.

Gu Xingze hugged his small pillow, poked his head out, and after meeting Shen Lu's gaze, lowered his head somewhat shyly.

"Xiao Ze, is something wrong?" Shen Lu asked subconsciously. Knowing that Gu Xingze was unwilling to speak, Shen Lu deliberately got out of bed and leaned closer to ask him.

"My brother was worried that you would be scared to sleep alone, so he wanted to come and keep you company. I'm worried that you will bully my brother."

Gu Xingyu's arrogant voice came from behind.

He hugged his little blanket, tilting his head to deliberately avoid looking at Shen Lu, but his rosy earlobes betrayed him.

Shen Lu was deeply moved and bent down to rub Gu Xingze and Gu Xingyu's fluffy little heads.

"Thank you, Xiaoze and Xiaoyu."

Shen Lu was overjoyed that the two children were willing to be close to her.

However, it was obvious that the folding bed here couldn't accommodate three people.

Shen Lu said, "How about Mom goes to sleep next door with you?"

The two little ones quickly took off their shoes and got into bed. Gu Xingyu was against the wall, Gu Xingze was in the middle, and a large space was left on the outermost side for Shen Lu.

Under the dim light, the mother and her two children were in the same room for the first time. The atmosphere was not tense as usual, but warm and cozy.

Gu Xingyu excitedly hugged Gu Xingze's arm and rolled around. This was the first time he had ever slept with his mother!

It feels like a dream.

In my dreams, my mother is gentle, delicious, fragrant, and soft…

Shen Lu tucked the blankets around the two little ones, turned off the lights, and went to bed.

It was the first time the two little ones had slept with Shen Lu, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep. The two brothers played and wrestled around.

Seeing that the two of them weren't really sleepy, Shen Lu said, "Lie down properly, and I'll tell you a story."

There are stories to hear!

Upon hearing this, the two little ones immediately lay down neatly side by side, their attention entirely focused on Shen Lu.

Shen Lu slowly began, "Once upon a time, there was a group of little mermaids who lived carefree in the sea. But on this stormy day..."

Under Shen Lu's gentle voice, the two children quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Under the moonlight, Shen Lu looked at their innocent faces and slowly stopped telling her story.

Shen Lu had always suffered from insomnia in modern times, and she thought that after experiencing so many things, it would definitely be difficult for her to fall asleep.

Unexpectedly, listening to the two little ones' even breathing, Shen Lu became drowsy and gradually fell asleep, having no dreams all night.

The next day, Shen Lu woke up to a knock on the door.

Shen Lu looked at the clock hanging on the wall, unable to believe that she had slept for so long.

Shen Lu looked back at the two little ones lying on the bed, her heart softening, wondering if it was because of them.

The knocking continued, and Shen Lu quickly got dressed, got out of bed, and opened the door.

Upon opening the door, I discovered it was yesterday's security captain.

He arrived at Shen Lu's house carrying two cans of malted milk powder, a bag of brown sugar, and a bag of peach shortbread.

Shen Lu knew that these things were considered valuable gifts in this era, so she declined them.

"It's only right that I do these things..."

"Take it, Comrade Shen. This is a token of the organization's goodwill towards you. Please don't refuse or look down on it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lu had no choice but to accept it.

After showing concern for Shen Lu, the captain of the guard team got down to business.

"The investigation into yesterday's matter is still ongoing, but the list shows great importance to it. Comrade Shen Lu, you have been a great help. With this list, our work will proceed much more smoothly."

"However, the organization has said that it is not advisable to publicize the matter of espionage, so you may have to suffer some injustice in terms of honor for now."

Shen Lu shook her head; she hadn't done this for honor.

Moreover, she knew that the spies had not yet been caught, and if she spread the word now, they might very well hear the slightest sound and flee.

"I will follow the organization's arrangements."

Seeing that Shen Lu was so sensible, the captain of the guard team nodded with satisfaction, but at the same time felt a little guilty, because this was an honor that she had earned with her life.

The captain of the guards assured him, "Don't worry, I will definitely fight for you."

Shen Lu nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

After finishing speaking, the captain of the guard put down his things and went to the next house.

Their task today is to find the people who were on the mountain yesterday and warn them, house by house, not to leak the news.

This is a matter of national importance, and there is no room for any mistakes or errors.
