Xiao Jing dried her wet hair, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and prepared to get clean clothes, but her hand slipped and the clothes fell directly into the water.
She had to admit that the army’s uniforms were of very high quality; they soaked through so quickly and efficiently that she couldn’t even grab them in time, and watched helplessly as they perished.
“Sigh.” She sighed as she picked up the wet clothes and hung them on the hanger, then pushed open the door to find another one.
Hearing the door lock open, Shen Chengfeng reprinted the copied documents and organized them.
Xiao Jing suddenly stopped, and there was a rustling sound in the air. Alarmed, she quickly turned off all the lights.
The thick curtains blocked out the excess sunlight, and the lights were suddenly turned off, plunging the whole room into darkness.
Shen Chengfeng frowned, but before he could say anything, danger came rushing towards him, and he instinctively reached out to block it.
Xiao Jing didn’t ask who the visitor was; her body reacted instinctively. This was the captain’s room, and there were some very confidential documents inside.
“Xiao Jing, it’s me.” Shen Chengfeng grabbed her hand and twisted it forcefully, locking her struggling arm around her neck.
Xiao Jing was suddenly startled, “Captain?”
Shen Chengfeng loosened his grip on her. He gradually got used to the darkness and was able to make out her vague location.
Xiao Jing let out a soft gasp, “Didn’t the captain leave?”
Shen Chengfeng turned on the desk lamp, and the light suddenly illuminated the room, causing their eyes to meet.
Xiao Jing felt a chill and involuntarily lowered her head, her expression hardening.
Where is my bath towel?
Shen Chengfeng then noticed what he was holding in his hand.
Xiao Jing’s back stiffened inch by inch as she lunged forward to snatch back her bath towel.
Shen Chengfeng’s gaze remained fixed on her petite figure.
“Captain, give it back to me.” Xiao Jing smiled bitterly, seeing that he had no intention of letting go, she tried to pull him back but couldn’t, and they remained in a stalemate.
Shen Chengfeng suddenly released his grip, turned to one side, and asked, “Where are your clothes?”
Xiao Jing hurriedly wrapped herself in a bath towel, saying, “They just fell into the water.”
Shen Chengfeng covered his mouth and coughed lightly, “From now on, put on your clothes before you come out of the shower.”
“I didn’t expect you to come back so suddenly.” Xiao Jing lowered her head guiltily.
“It’s not just me who will suddenly come back; there’s a good chance someone else will suddenly come in. You need to know your identity.”
“Yes, Captain.” Xiao Jing turned around, preparing to rummage through the wardrobe to see if she had any clean clothes left.
“Be careful.” Shen Chengfeng quickly grabbed her.
Xiao Jing wrapped her bath towel in such a hurry that one end was draped over the ground. When she lifted her leg, she unsurprisingly stepped on the towel, swayed, lost her balance, and fell towards the corner of the table.
Shen Chengfeng grabbed her arm, his gloved hand clearly feeling the warmth beneath her skin.
Xiao Jing stumbled to her feet, her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. She whispered, “I didn’t mean to.”
Shen Chengfeng leaned against the table. The room was very dimly lit, so dim that something was quietly growing inside.
Xiao Jing took small, quick steps and half-squatted under the wardrobe, rummaging through it before finally finding her military green T-shirt at the very bottom.
“Xiao Jing”.
“Hmm?” Xiao Jing instinctively raised her head.
Shen Chengfeng looked away and closed his eyes. Why did he want to call her name just now?
Xiao Jing received no response, so she stood up and asked, “Captain?”
“It’s nothing.” Shen Chengfeng finished tidying up the documents and hurried towards the door.
Xiao Jing was a little confused. She grabbed her clothes and hopped into the bathroom.
“Thump.”
A muffled thud came from the bathroom.
Xiao Jing lay on her back on the ground, jumping around so proudly that she forgot she was injured.
The moment she fell, she knew she had reopened her wound, and waves of intense pain instantly spread through her, turning her little red face pale.
Haha, no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Chengfeng turned back immediately upon hearing the noise, and opened the bathroom door without regard for his status.
Xiao Jing lay motionless on the ground, her brows furrowed in pain.
Seeing that a corner of the bath towel was starting to get soaked with blood, Shen Chengfeng quickly squatted down and asked, “Are you still going to jump?”
Xiao Jing shook her head fiercely.
Shen Chengfeng picked her up and carried her horizontally.
Xiao Jing looked up, panting, “Captain, my clothes.”
“Shut up.” Shen Chengfeng glared at her.
Xiao Jing shut her mouth reluctantly and let him put her on the bed.
The lights inside remained dim.
Xiao Jing gently pulled the blanket up to cover her body.
“Pull it open.” Shen Chengfeng lifted a corner of the blanket.
Xiao Jing shook her head and said cautiously, “Captain, I can handle it myself.”
Shen Chengfeng stood to the side, arms crossed in front of his chest, watching the figure awkwardly sit up with a leisurely air.
Xiao Jing put on her clothes with a wry smile. It was just putting on clothes, but even this small action caused her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
Shen Chengfeng opened the medicine box, took out the disinfectant, and handed it to her, saying, “Use it.”
Xiao Jing reluctantly lifted a corner of her clothes, revealing a gruesome wound from which blood gushed out, quickly soaking the corner of her clothes.
Shen Chengfeng took the disinfectant from her hand, squatted down, looked at the wound on her waist that resembled an octopus, and stared up at her, “Did you stitch yourself up?”
“Yes.” Xiao Jing’s voice was very low. If the room hadn’t been so quiet, probably no one would have been able to hear her silent reply.
“You’re quite capable, being so ruthless to yourself.” Shen Chengfeng picked up the small tweezers and carefully untied the thin stitches from the wound.
As the pain struck, Xiao Jing lost her composure and stared up at the ceiling, her hands gripping the sheets tightly, afraid that she might cry out in the blink of an eye.
Shen Chengfeng treated the wound again and applied some anesthetic.
A numb sensation spread from the wound, and Xiao Jing let out a long breath.
“With your skills, don’t bother stitching anymore. It will only make things worse.” Shen Chengfeng stitched up the wound and, noticing the amount of bleeding, applied some hemostatic medicine.
“Captain,” she called out instinctively.
“Yes, I’m here.” After wrapping a few layers of gauze around the wound, Shen Chengfeng looked up and met her eyes. “Don’t take a bath for the next couple of days.”
“Captain, how did you treat your injury?” Xiao Jing looked at him and saw that his complexion was normal, just like any other person.
Shen Chengfeng stood up, picked up the documents on the table, and said nonchalantly, “It’s just a minor injury.”
“Captain–“
“If you reopen the wound, it won’t be as easy as just stitching it up.” Shen Chengfeng raised an eyebrow, stopping her.
Xiao Jing obediently stopped what she was doing, and as she watched his departing figure, she involuntarily tightened her grip on her hands.
You can treat my wound, but what about yours?
Shen Chengfeng got into the car, rested his head on the seat, and closed his eyes to rest.
As night fell, the entire camp returned to silence.
The autumn wind swept across the playground, and the yellow sand scattered in all directions.
Xiao Jing vaguely felt that something was wrong. Hmm, her lower back didn’t hurt, but it ached, and her stomach also had some indescribable feeling.
She sat up with a start. She must have taken too much medication last month, because she hadn’t had her period for a whole month.
She felt that familiar scent in her body and couldn’t help but clutch her stomach as she ran towards the bathroom.
Haha, Heaven really doesn’t care about anyone.
She leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh.
The night fog thickened, and the dormitory was desolate both inside and out.
In the darkness, a figure crept past the flowerbed and carefully climbed up the wall.
The person arrived very quickly, almost avoiding all surveillance cameras.
Yan Mo pushed open the tightly closed window, a smug smile playing on his lips. “Don’t think I can’t come in. I can come in anytime I want.”
“Thump, thump, thump.” Footsteps approached from afar.
Yan Mo hurriedly hid in the closet, thinking that when his dear Xiao Jing opened the closet, he would pounce on him, hug him, and give him a passionate kiss. He was sure he would fall for him.
He was so handsome and dashing, so why was he so incomprehensible as to like the cold and untouchable Shen Chengfeng? No, he had to seriously tell him that his feelings for Shen Chengfeng were just a misconception, and that he was the right match for him.
Xiao Jing pushed open the door and looked around. Fortunately, most people were in the bathhouse. She moved her feet carefully and did not turn on the light to avoid arousing suspicion.
The dormitory was dimly lit, and Xiao Jing walked to the cabinet based on her memory.
“Clang.” The cabinet opened.
“Congratulations on unlocking the secret mission and obtaining General Yan Mo. Please confirm to bind your prize. This prize is non-transferable, non-removable, and you will own it for life.” Yan Mo opened his arms and hugged Xiao Jing, who was standing close to him.
Xiao Jing stared blankly at the guy who had suddenly appeared, trying to break free from his grasp, but he was as solid as an impenetrable wall.
Yan Mo raised his delicate fingers and twirled a strand of hair behind his ear, blinked, and said with a fawning expression, “Young Master, from now on I am yours. You can hit me or scold me as you please.”
“Have you made enough of a scene?” Xiao Jing pushed aside the big guy blocking her way.
Yan Mo pouted, looking coquettish. He then tugged at Xiao Jing’s sleeve and shook it, “No way! I already said that from now on I’m your possession. I can’t be transferred or uninstalled. It’s for life, okay?”
“Let go.” Xiao Jing forcefully pried his hand away.
Yan Mo hugged Xiao Jing tightly once again, and said in a low, soft voice, “If you don’t want to marry me, that’s okay, I’ll marry you.”
Xiao Jing had no strength and just let him hold her. Her wound hurt, her stomach hurt, and she felt a weightless sensation as if she had lost blood. So she murmured, “Sir, I feel very uncomfortable. Can you please stop bullying me?”
Yan Mo was stunned for a moment. Hearing her weak voice, his heart tightened. He quickly cupped her small face in his hands. The room was dark, so he turned on the light. Only then did he realize that her face was no different from the white of the wall.
Xiao Jing squatted down and buried her head in her knees. “I want to be alone for a while.”
Yan Mo stopped talking and just squatted down beside Xiao Jing. He was used to being rough and tough, and a place like a military camp couldn’t support a delicate person.
He didn’t know how to comfort the person in front of him. Looking at his slightly trembling body, he opened his arms and gently hugged him.
Xiao Jing looked up in surprise. The dim light from above fell into his eyes, making them very dazzling.
“I won’t do anything reckless. Aren’t you feeling unwell? Do you want me to carry you to bed for a while?” Yan Mo raised his hand and gently wiped the cold sweat from Xiao Jing’s forehead.
She shook her head and refused, saying, “Please leave.”
“I’ll stay here and sit with you for a while. I won’t say anything more.” Yan Mo shut his mouth at the right moment.
Xiao Jing lowered her head, and suddenly a familiar feeling washed over her again. She felt that she couldn’t keep going like this, otherwise if he didn’t leave soon, she would be bleeding on the floor.
Haha, that would be amazing!
“I’m a little hungry, could you go to the canteen and get me something to eat, sir?” Xiao Jing gazed at him expectantly.
Yan Mo nodded. “Wait for me.”
The door behind her was tightly closed. Xiao Jing hurriedly got up from the ground, rummaged through drawers and cupboards, and finally found a few loaves of bread. She put them in her pocket and slowly moved towards the door.
Yan Mo returned, holding a bowl of freshly cooked white rice porridge. However, when he opened the door, the entire room was silent, clearly empty.
He was somewhat disappointed, but when he saw the clear bloodstains on the floor, he was startled. Had the wound reopened?
Just thinking of that pale little face, that barely perceptible tremor, that weak and feeble voice; he must have been very uncomfortable.
Xiao Jing jogged back to the captain’s dormitory. After the door was locked from the inside, she collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
The room was so quiet that you could hear her heart pounding in her chest.
Shen Chengfeng returned to his dormitory close to midnight. The moment he pushed open the door, he was alert to hear suppressed, heavy breathing coming from the direction of the bed curtains.
Xiao Jing was fast asleep, facing the wall, but the vigilance she had developed over the past few days made her take defensive action when she heard approaching footsteps.
“Did I wake you up?” A deep male voice sounded from behind her.
Xiao Jing sat up in a daze. After confirming that the person behind her was the captain, she hurriedly stood up and explained, “I thought you wouldn’t come back to sleep. I’ll go make the bed right away.”
She made a gesture and stood up.
Shen Chengfeng watched as she swayed a few times, then fell back down, stubbornly got up, and fell down again, repeating this twice. Then she looked up at him, her eyes shining brightly.
Xiao Jing murmured softly, as if talking to herself, “Captain, can I sleep in the bed tonight?”
She asked very carefully.
Shen Chengfeng turned on the bedside lamp, using the dim light to look at the pale-faced girl by the bedside, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Xiao Jing held the water glass, which was warm. She then took a sip, which relieved the dryness in her throat.
Shen Chengfeng took off his coat, went into the bathroom, and wet a clean towel.
As Xiao Jing watched him approach, she instinctively took a step back.
Shen Chengfeng took a damp, warm towel and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, asking, “Where do you feel unwell?”
Xiao Jing hesitated, wondering if she could say that her period had started. She was afraid that in her haste, the captain would take her period to see her uncle.
Hahaha, Heaven is too cruel.
Shen Chengfeng put down the towel, and seemed to understand something from her reluctance to speak. He stood up and looked down at her small, silent figure.
Xiao Jing lowered her head, not daring to make any excessive movements.
“Ahem.” Shen Chengfeng coughed lightly, covering his mouth, looking conflicted. After choosing his words, he asked, “Do you… do you have that thing?”
Xiao Jing blushed and nodded.
Shen Chengfeng sat in the chair and coughed lightly again, saying, “You’ll sleep in the bed tonight. Go to sleep.”
Xiao Jing lay down, staring intently at the figure who walked to the cabinet and took out two quilts. Her consciousness was hazy, and she quietly fell asleep.
Shen Chengfeng sat on the edge of the bed, and under the dim light, a thin layer of sweat once again appeared on her forehead.
The room was stuffy, but she was wrapped in two layers of blankets; she must have been feeling cold.
“Drink some sugar water.” In the end, he still managed to wake her up.
Xiao Jing sat up in a daze, looking at the glass handed to her, seemingly still not quite back to her senses.
“You’ve lost too much blood.” Shen Chengfeng took out two candies.
Xiao Jing, her face flushed, drank a few sips of the sugar water, her body feeling as if it had been soaked in water, her whole body drenched in sweat.
“Change your clothes before you sleep.” Shen Chengfeng handed over some clean clothes from his closet.
Xiao Jing shook her head, “No need.”
“Change.” The command was given without question.
Xiao Jing picked up the clothes and prepared to go to the restroom.
“With your weakness, do you think you can even walk to the restroom? Change here.” Shen Chengfeng looked away.
Xiao Jing clutched her clothes tightly, hesitant.
Shen Chengfeng, not hearing any movement, frowned and said, “Afraid I’ll see?”
“No,” Xiao Jing said guiltily.
Shen Chengfeng withdrew his gaze, staring at her blatantly, noticing her slightly reddened ears. “No strength?”
Xiao Jing blushed even more.
Shen Chengfeng went straight to her, sat on the side of the bed, took off his gloves, and placed his hands directly on her shoulders.
Instantly, puffs of slightly pungent white smoke filled the room.
Xiao Jing blew away the ash left on her shoulder from the burns and said with a wry smile, “Captain, this is the only clean piece of clothing I have left.”
You’ve burned other people’s clothes time and time again, and you still won’t compensate them!
