A night wind swept in, and a cloud of yellow sand filled the sky.
Xiao Qing stood there blankly, as if she hadn’t yet processed what he had just said.
What does “Let’s get married” mean?
Who do you want to marry? Me? Marry me, this rugged, masculine man?
Haha, city people always know how to joke.
Yan Mo didn’t get a response from Xiao Qing, so he rushed over and hugged her tightly, shouting with great pride, “We’re married! My Xiao Si agreed to marry me! Hahaha!”
Wait, when did I agree to that?
Xiao Qing forcefully pushed away the large man who was holding her and almost strangled her, and said seriously, “Sir, you may have misunderstood.”
Yan Mo excitedly cupped Xiao Qing’s face in his hands and said firmly, “Don’t worry, I will be faithful to you after we get married.”
Xiao Qing tightened her grip on the cake box in her hand, and without a moment’s hesitation, she slammed the box down on Yan Mo’s head.
Sticky cream dripped from Yan Mo’s head, and it felt as if his longing for something had vanished in an instant. He then calmed down and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
Xiao Qing took a step back, then another, her expression grave. “You may have really misunderstood. I can’t marry you, nor can I have any relationship with you.”
Yan Mo wiped the cream off his face and frowned, saying, “Didn’t you just promise me?”
“When did I agree to that?”
“Silence is a form of admission.” Yan Mo stepped forward.
Xiao Qing raised her hand to signal him not to move, and said, word by word, “I was just thinking about how to make you more clear-headed, sir. I am a man, and you are a man too. Are you sure you haven’t misunderstood anything?”
“Is there a problem? Love doesn’t discriminate based on social status or gender. I love you, can you see? My heart is pounding so hard for you.”
“I’m having a lot of fun beating here too.” Xiao Qing pointed to her heart. “If it didn’t beat, we would die.”
Yan Mo forcefully grabbed Xiao Qing’s arm, “I don’t care, I want to be with you, and no one can take you away from me.”
When Xiao Qing saw this stubborn guy, she found that his arm was like a magnet stuck to her hand and she couldn’t pull it off.
Yan Mo then put one arm around Xiao Qing’s waist, looking down at her face, which was flushed from struggling, and said with a smile, “There are still decades to come, so we might as well slowly attract each other.”
Seeing that she couldn’t break free from his grip, Xiao Qing caught a glimpse of a figure walking past from one end of the playground out of the corner of her eye. Without caring whether she could see who it was, she pointed at him and said without thinking, “Sir, let me go. I already have someone in my heart. Yes, I like him very much. I just like him. If you want to take me away, you’ll have to beat him down first.”
Yan Mo subconsciously looked in the direction Xiao Qing was pointing. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Shen Chengfeng, who was wrapped up tightly, passed by, seemingly unaware of the two people who were having a heated conversation.
Xiao Qing, relieved, hurriedly ran towards the person who was passing by.
Yan Mo stood still, his narrow gaze fixed on Xiao Qing’s running figure, his fists clenching tightly involuntarily.
Shen Chengfeng sensed someone approaching, turned his head, and saw a small figure running towards him on its toes.
Xiao Qing slammed on the brakes, staring incredulously at the unlucky kid she had dragged down as a scapegoat. Her lips twitched violently as she turned around and hurriedly said, “Sir, I made a mistake. It’s not him. I don’t like this person.”
Shen Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the man who stood motionless in the center of the playground.
Yan Mo exuded a terrifying aura, as if he had already blocked out all the noise around him, and stared fiercely and sharply at his nephew.
Xiao Qing didn’t dare to get any closer, afraid that he might lose control and strip her naked, skipping the marriage step and just sleeping with her under the open sky to make it a fait accompli.
Shen Chengfeng’s voice, as always, carried a cold and aloof aura as he asked, “What did you say to my uncle?”
Xiao Qing gently tugged at his sleeve, finding it difficult to speak.
Shen Chengfeng pushed her hand away. “Speak.”
Xiao Qing smiled wryly and said, “I only said one sentence: the person I like is you.”
“…”
“I didn’t expect that person to be you. I just randomly dragged someone down with me. Who knew that the person passing by would be you?” Xiao Qing became less and less confident as she spoke.
“You go back first.” Shen Chengfeng walked straight towards Yan Mo.
Xiao Qing raised her hand and gave him a fist bump, whispering, “Captain, good luck.”
After saying that, she turned and ran away without a trace of regret.
Yan Mo looked at the approaching figure, his eyes filled with even more ferocity.
Shen Chengfeng took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, saying, “Please wipe yourself first.”
Yan Mo stared at his hand expressionlessly, without moving, and said, “So, the reason you’ve repeatedly stopped me from taking Xiao Qing away is because of this?”
“I don’t know if Uncle has misunderstood something, but I can tell you for sure that my orientation is normal,” Shen Chengfeng said without hesitation.
“In that case, I’m taking him away today.”
“As I said before, Xiao Qing is my soldier. As long as he is my soldier, I have to be responsible for her. Since he is my soldier, he is not someone that anyone can take away at will.”
“You’re not giving your uncle any face.”
“This is not a matter of giving face, but a matter of principle. If uncle truly loves her, you can wait until she retires from my service.”
Yan Mo coldly snorted, “Don’t think I don’t know this is your delaying tactic. I have to take him away today. I’ve already booked tickets to MM country. I’m going to register our marriage today.”
“Is Uncle really so determined to make Grandpa’s family line die out?”
“Don’t worry, with technology so advanced now, I will naturally have plenty of opportunities to leave them an heir.”
Shen Chengfeng shook his head. “You keep saying you want to be with Xiao Qing forever, but you’re also thinking about leaving an heir for the Yan family, and with another woman no less. Do you think your promises will be effective?”
“This is a problem between us, and I will handle it myself. I don’t need to rely on anyone else.”
“Well, of course I can’t interfere too much in your affairs, so please don’t interfere too much in my affairs either, especially in the affairs of my Tie Ying Team. Xiao Qing is currently a member of our team, and any personnel transfer orders are in my hands. If you want to take her away, you have to get my permission, and I will not agree.”
“I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you.” Yan Mo walked past him and headed towards the dormitory.
Shen Chengfeng, however, raised his hand to block his way and said, “Uncle, do you really intend to make things difficult for your nephew?”
“You’re the one making things difficult for your uncle.”
“Well, so Uncle, please don’t give me another chance to make things difficult for you. I’m afraid your face will have more than just cake on it later.”
“Are you threatening me?”
Shen Chengfeng nodded noncommittally, “Yes, I was threatening you.”
“Do you think your threats will work?” Yan Mo asked again.
Shen Chengfeng casually took off his gloves, “At least for my uncle, they’re quite useful.”
When Yan Mo saw him take off his gloves, he subconsciously took a step back.
Shen Chengfeng continued, “Uncle, it’s getting late. The special forces have strict time regulations, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at this time. Please go back.”
“I won’t leave. I’ve decided to set up camp here for the next few days.” Yan Mo thought that he couldn’t confront this guy head-on, lest he get pounced on by his claws and hurt his handsome face.
Shen Chengfeng turned around and stared at him directly, saying, “Uncle, you’d better think this through. I don’t like people having their eyes on my people.”
“When did he become yours?”
“Although I am straight, I can’t guarantee that someone might have a crush on me. Maybe he’s right, the person he secretly likes is me.”
“Do you believe I can slap you to death?” Yan Mo couldn’t bear it any longer and threw a punch.
Shen Chengfeng raised his hand to block, making direct contact with Yan Mo’s hand, and a rotten smell instantly spread.
Yan Mo panicked and withdrew his hand, looking at his wrist, which was now covered in blood and flesh after being corroded. His lips then twitched slightly. “Are you serious with your uncle?”
“We’re all adults. Do we have to be rigged when it comes to fighting?” Shen Chengfeng wiped his hands again, clearly intending to do so. “If you insist on going against your nephew, Uncle, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and fight you.”
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Chengfeng preemptively threw a punch.
Yan Mo had faced this guy head-on before, and even if he fought without taking off his gloves, his old bones wouldn’t be able to withstand a single heavy punch from him. What’s more, now that he’s taken off his gloves, he’s forcing Yan Mo to be unable to attack or defend, only to retreat.
Shen Chengfeng reacted quickly, grabbing Yan Mo’s clothes. A burst of white smoke instantly rose from the spot where his fingertips touched.
Yan Mo staggered a step and looked at his back. There was a handprint, neither too big nor too small, that was very clear. If he had touched it any more, it would have left a brand on his back.
This guy is deliberately trying to force me to back down.
It was clear he succeeded.
Yan Mo pointed at him and roared, “I will come again, and next time I will take him away.”
Shen Chengfeng put his gloves back on, watched the figure who had already gotten into the car and driven away, then turned around and strode across the playground.
In the quiet dormitory building, the sound of orderly footsteps could be heard.
Xiao Qing leaned against the door, carefully watching where the footsteps went.
With a “click,” the tightly closed dormitory door was pushed open from the outside.
Xiao Qing’s body tilted, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground. She looked up, and the lights from above rushed into her eyes. She instinctively closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the captain’s as always serious and unsmiling features came into clear view.
Shen Chengfeng stared motionlessly at the figure sitting on the ground. The two of them, one standing and one sitting, locked eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Xiao Qing’s neck was a little sore. She stood up, holding onto the door frame, and cautiously peeked behind him, asking, “Has General Yan Mo left?”
“A five-thousand-word self-criticism.” The domineering voice echoed forcefully in the room.
Xiao Qing’s body stiffened inch by inch. She turned around, her lips twitching. “Captain, that was just a temporary measure.”
“Using your superiors as an excuse, is this your expedient measure?”
“I didn’t recognize you at the time. If I had known it was you, I definitely wouldn’t have said that.”
Shen Chengfeng glared at her and said, “You should be glad it was me. If it were someone else, they would be lying in the infirmary receiving treatment today.”
“So, does this mean I’ve made amends for my sins?” Xiao Qing looked at him expectantly.
Shen Chengfeng remained silent, their eyes meeting, as if he were telling her that one should always carry their brain with them.
Xiao Qing sensed the insult in his eyes and said seriously, “I just wanted to get rid of him, I never intended to drag you into this.”
“Unfortunately, you’ve already dragged me into this mess.” Shen Chengfeng approached her step by step.
Threatened by his imposing manner, Xiao Qing involuntarily retreated until she had nowhere left to go and leaned against the wall.
Shen Chengfeng also leaned against the wall with one hand, calmly observing the silent figure with downcast eyes, and said, “Or do you really have those kinds of feelings for me?”
Xiao Qing suddenly raised her head, her big eyes filled with terror. She then shook her head, very seriously, as if she wanted to break her neck to prove her innocence. She said, “I promise I would never dare to have any improper thoughts about you.”
Shen Chengfeng coldly snorted, his slightly warm breath brushing against her face, “Do you think your guarantee is worth anything?”
“Captain, how could I dare to dream of someone like you?” Xiao Qing gently punched his shoulder with her small fist. “Someone like you deserves to be respected. I have always treated you like an ancestor, and I am even thinking that after you pass away, I will observe mourning for you.”
“…”
Xiao Qing smiled innocently, her face blushing, “Don’t worry about having no successor. I am your descendant, and I will have my descendants worship you for generations to come.”
“Shut up.” Shen Chengfeng turned around, glanced at the guy who was deliberately changing the subject, walked to the bedside, and placed a bottle of medicine from his pocket on the table.
Xiao Qing looked closely and realized that it was a bottle of medicine for falling down.
Shen Chengfeng lay by the bedside, his eyes fixed intently on her as he waited for her to come over.
Xiao Qing was puzzled as to why he was staring at her so intently, and whispered, “Is there something you need, Captain?”
“Apply the medicine.” Shen Chengfeng casually took off his clothes, revealing his sexy upper body without any hesitation.
Xiao Qing awkwardly turned her head away, asking confusedly, “What medicine?”
Shen Chengfeng stared at her without saying a word.
Xiao Qing noticed the intense gaze behind her and had no choice but to turn around. Under the light, she could see that the right side of his waist was covered in bruises, indicating that he had been injured by something.
Xiao Qing then remembered the ferocious flock of sheep they had encountered during the day.
Shen Chengfeng said coldly, “Do I need to teach you how to do it?”
Xiao Qing took small, quick steps and sat down on the edge of the bed. She had just poured some liniment on him, but in the blink of an eye, the medicine evaporated completely.
Shen Chengfeng grabbed her hand and bit it in his mouth.
Xiao Qing frowned. The change happened too fast. Before she could react, her finger was cut open. He had bitten it open.
Shen Chengfeng leaned over the headboard, clasped her hands on his waist, and said in a normal tone, “That’s enough.”
When Xiao Qing touched his cold body, she couldn’t help but want to pull her hand away, but before she could, she heard him say something that sounded like he wanted to punch her.
Shen Chengfeng said calmly, “You have ulterior motives.”
“…”
Shen Chengfeng closed his eyes. “Don’t forget your five thousand words of self-criticism. If you lay a hand on me again, five thousand words will become ten thousand words.”
“Yes, Captain.” Xiao Qing poured a little bit of medicine into her palm, mixed it with blood, rubbed her hands together, and then pressed it lightly and firmly onto his waist.
Her palms were warm, and Shen Chengfeng felt the pressure from her fingertips. It was just right, not too light or too heavy, so as not to cause him any further harm.
Xiao Qing leaned down and whispered in his ear, “Captain, was I too rough?”
“Hmm,” Shen Chengfeng murmured softly.
Xiao Qing continued kneading, saying as she massaged, “Captain, wouldn’t you say I’m redeeming myself by doing good deeds?”
“What do you think?” Shen Chengfeng asked in return.
Xiao Qing nodded vigorously, “If the captain is not satisfied, I can massage you like this every day until your body is spotless and without a single bruise.”
Shen Chengfeng ignored her murmurs and closed his eyes.
Xiao Qing mustered her courage and moved closer to him, listening to his steady breathing. She tried to raise her hand and poke the tip of his nose. Seeing that he didn’t react, she murmured to herself, “He seems a little more human when he’s asleep.”
There was no response.
Xiao Qing draped the blanket over him, then half-squatted in front of him, her hands cupping her chin as she gazed intently at his sleeping face. She then grumbled, “Do you know how many words are in five thousand? It would take me three whole hours to write that. Will I even be able to sleep tonight?”
There was still no response.
Xiao Qing pouted, tilted her head, and impulsively leaned closer, almost touching his face. She then raised her hand and gently brushed away the cream that had accidentally gotten on his hair.
“What are you doing?” A sudden, startling voice rang out.
Xiao Qing jolted and instinctively fell backward.
Shen Chengfeng grabbed her arm, reached out and pulled her back into his arms.
The air was still, with a faint scent of jasmine lingering in it. He looked at her, and she looked at him. For a moment, it was as quiet as if the place had been deserted.
