Chapter 17 Once you've tasted the sweetness, you'll find it addictive! Commander Qin is hooked!

The sound of bugles broke the tranquility of the island in the early morning.

Qin Lie sat up in bed almost reflexively.

This is the biological clock that has been etched into his bones during his more than ten years of military service.

The body moves faster than the brain thinks.

However, the moment he sat up, a soft touch beside him and a slight pull on his arm instantly brought him back to his senses.

He suddenly lowered his head.

Only then did he realize that the woman in his arms was using his arm as a pillow, holding him tightly.

His other hand remained wrapped around her slender waist.

The two bodies were pressed tightly together, with no gaps between them.

The sweet and soft fragrance emanating from her, mixed with the ambiguous scent of last night's lovemaking, eagerly rushed into his nose.

"boom--"

The crazy and beautiful images that he had forcibly suppressed last night once again swept over his mind like a tidal wave.

Her tears, her gasps, the way she writhed and succumbed to pleasure beneath him…

Qin Lie's face turned red from his ears all the way to his neck at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A surge of heat began to gather uncontrollably in my lower abdomen again.

He felt like a young kid.

Just recalling the scenes from last night caused my body to react in ways I shouldn't have.

That's absolutely... shameful!

Qin Lie grabbed a handful of his hair in frustration.

He wanted to pull his arm out of her embrace.

But his movements disturbed the people who were sleeping.

Jiang Wu frowned slightly in displeasure and hugged him even tighter.

It even let out a soft whimper like a kitten.

"Stop it..."

The voice was hoarse and languid, as if the person had just woken up, and so soft it could melt your heart.

Qin Lie's movement to pull his hand away froze instantly.

He looked down at her sleeping face, which was so close to his.

The soft light of dawn shone through the window onto her face, casting a gentle glow upon her.

Her skin was fair and delicate, like the finest mutton fat jade, without a single pore visible.

Her long eyelashes, like two small brushes, hung down quietly.

Her delicate nose tip was slightly upturned, giving her a playful look.

Those lips, which he had kissed all night, were now slightly pouting, rosy and full, like a cherry waiting to be picked.

Qin Lie stared at it, becoming somewhat mesmerized.

Why had he never really looked at her properly before?

He used to think she was too glamorous and flamboyant, not the dignified and virtuous type he liked.

But now, looking at her sleeping face, which has shed all pretense and is quiet and well-behaved, he realized that she is actually very beautiful.

It's a breathtakingly beautiful film that can steal your soul.

Especially when he thought about how this face, which could drive any man crazy, had cried and blossomed beneath him last night…

Qin Lie's heart started pounding wildly again, much to his dismay.

He awkwardly looked away, unable to bear it any longer.

He was afraid that if he watched any longer, he would ignore the damned bugle call and the morning exercises that were about to begin, and once again pin this woman down on the bed and give her a good "beating".

The moment this thought popped into Qin Lie's head, he was startled.

When did he become such a... beast?

He's a regimental commander in the People's Liberation Army!

He should set an example and be strict with himself!

How can one become obsessed with matters of love and sex!

Qin Lie inwardly berated himself.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the burning desire within him.

Then, with an almost brutal force, he pulled his arm out of Jiang Wu's arms.

He lifted the thin blanket and got out of bed.

When his feet touched the cold ground, his legs involuntarily went weak.

I almost lost my footing.

Last night was just... insane.

He was like a traveler who had been thirsty in the desert for too long, who suddenly saw an oasis.

Then it completely spiraled out of control.

Again and again, tirelessly demanding.

He continued until he had exhausted every last bit of strength from her and himself.

Qin Lie straightened up, supporting himself on the edge of the bed.

He didn't dare turn around to look at the woman on the bed.

He was afraid that if he turned around, he would never be able to take another step.

He grabbed the military uniform from the stool haphazardly and started putting it on.

His movements were somewhat flustered, almost like he was fleeing in panic.

One of the buttons on the shirt was fastened incorrectly.

As he hurriedly dressed and prepared to leave...

A soft, slightly aggrieved voice came from behind.

"Honey, where are you going?"

Qin Lie's body stiffened.

He didn't turn around.

"Do morning exercises."

He squeezed out three words through gritted teeth.

"oh."

Jiang Wu responded.

Then a rustling sound came from the bed.

Qin Lie glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.

The woman was propping herself up, and the thin blanket on her body slipped down to her waist.

Her rounded, fair shoulders and snow-white skin marked with ambiguous traces were revealed.

Qin Lie felt a little heat in his nose.

He quickly turned his head away, not daring to look again.

"You...you can continue sleeping."

His voice was tense.

"But I'm scared to be alone after you leave."

Jiang Wu's voice sounded pitiful.

"And... I'm in so much pain."

As she spoke, her voice carried a faint hint of a sob.

"It hurts everywhere..."

Qin Lie felt as if something had clenched his heart tightly.

It feels sour, bloated, and painful.

He knew why she was in pain.

He was definitely too rough last night.

Especially at the beginning, they didn't take into account that it was her first time.

He was only concerned with venting the desires he had accumulated for over twenty years.

Thinking of her suppressed crying and pleas for mercy last night, Qin Lie felt a surge of guilt and heartache.

He turned around and walked back to the bedside.

He wanted to say "I'm sorry" to her.

But the words just wouldn't come out.

He's a grown man; he's already done it. Saying more about it would seem too sentimental.

He could only reach out and awkwardly pull the blanket up for her, covering that tempting patch of spring light.

"You...you have to bear with it."

After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out this utterly inadequate attempt at comfort.

"I'll rub it for you when I get back tonight... tonight."

When he said that, he didn't dare look at her at all, but his ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

Jiang Wu was secretly laughing her head off at his innocent yet arrogant appearance.

This man is so adorable.

However, on the surface, she still had a tearful expression.

"Really?"

She blinked her big, watery eyes at him.

"Um."

Qin Lie nodded heavily.

"Then come back soon."

Jiang Wu's voice was soft and sweet.

"I've prepared a meal and am waiting for you."

"good."

Qin Lie responded, feeling his heart melt.

He dared not stay there for another second.

He was afraid he might really lose control.

He turned and strode out of the room.

That figure looked even more resolute than someone going to war.

As Jiang Wu watched his hasty retreat, the corners of her mouth curved upwards.

She stretched with a charming yawn.

My body really felt like it had been run over by a truck; it was sore and painful.

But I felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

One can only truly appreciate the flavor of something after tasting its marrow.

This term isn't just applicable to men.

She found herself becoming somewhat addicted as well.

She lay back down on the bed, pulled the thin blanket, still bearing his scent, over herself.

Then I closed my eyes and contentedly continued to catch up on my sleep.

On the other side...

Qin Lie practically jogged all the way to the training ground.

The call to assemble for morning exercises has already been sounded.

The soldiers had already formed a neat line.

Everyone looked surprised to see that he was late.

You should know that their regimental commander, Qin, is the "time benchmark" for the entire regiment.

He's always the first to arrive at the training ground and the last to leave.

Being late is simply a pipe dream for him.

"What are you looking at!"

Qin Lie felt embarrassed by their stares and let out a low growl.

"Attention, everyone! Ten kilometers of armed cross-country running! Begin now!"

With a dark expression, he issued a command that could only be described as "devilish".

"ah?!"

The soldiers all wailed in pain.

Coming for a 10km armed cross-country run so early in the morning?

Has the commander taken the wrong medicine today?

But no one dared to refute it.

They could only grimace, shoulder their gear, and start running.

Qin Lie ran in the lead.

He needed to use this extreme physical exertion to release the restless heat and energy within his body.

However, as he ran, Jiang Wu's image kept uncontrollably appearing in his mind.

Her laughter, her tears, the alluring way she looked beneath me...

"Damn it!"

Qin Lie cursed under his breath and quickened his pace.

He felt that he was truly poisoned.

They were poisoned by a substance called "Jiang Wu".

Moreover, there is no cure.

P.S.: I really don't know what to post... What suggestions do you guys have for me to post?
