Chapter 5 Honey, you smell so good.

I'll throw you off the bed!

Qin Lie spoke with absolute certainty, believing that this threat would be enough to make Jiang Wu behave.

However, the woman on the bed simply blinked and then burst out laughing.

The laughter was crisp and melodious, like the ringing of wind chimes.

"OK."

Jiang Wu agreed very readily, and even moved further into the bed to make room for him.

"I promise I won't move and I absolutely won't cross the line."

She raised three fingers as if making a vow, but her eyes gleamed with cunning.

Qin Lie looked at her with a mixture of belief and doubt.

I had a feeling that things weren't that simple.

But right now, he doesn't have a better solution.

You can't really stand outside all night.

He took off his coat and shoes, leaving only his white shirt and army green trousers, and lay stiffly on the outside of the bed.

He leaned as close to the edge of the bed as possible, his body taut like a taut bowstring, with a person's distance between him and Jiang Wu.

The bed frame swayed slightly under his weight.

A strange, feminine fragrance wafted from his side, lingering around his nose.

It was the fresh scent of her shower gel, mixed with her unique body fragrance, like a gentle net, penetrating every crevice.

Qin Lie closed his eyes, ordering himself not to think about it or smell it.

He silently recited the military regulations in his mind, trying to distract himself in this way.

"First, obey orders and follow commands..."

Second, they were brave and tenacious, and unafraid of sacrifice...

But as he kept reciting, the image that kept appearing in his mind was Jiang Wu's charming and smiling face.

He could feel the woman beside him turn over and face him.

Even though there was a distance between them, he could still feel that undisguised, burning gaze.

It seemed to have a physical presence, scanning back and forth across his face, neck, and chest.

Qin Lie felt extremely uncomfortable, and even his breathing became cautious.

"husband."

Jiang Wu's voice sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

"Um."

He let out a muffled groan in response.

Are you asleep?

"……without."

"what's on your mind?"

"Thinking about the military," Qin Lie casually made up.

"Oh," Jiang Wu drawled, "I thought you were thinking of me."

Qin Lie: "..."

He felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.

This woman is never still for a moment!

"Go to sleep!"

He scolded her in a low voice, turned over, and faced away from her.

Out of sight, out of mind.

A soft chuckle came from behind him, then silence.

Silence returned to the room.

Only the sound of the wind outside the window and the clearly audible breathing of the two people remained.

Qin Lie listened intently for a long time, and only after confirming that Jiang Wu was no longer causing trouble did he relax his tense body slightly.

A wave of fatigue washed over me.

This was such an exciting day!

He underwent a tremendous test, both mentally and physically.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Lie finally fell into a deep sleep, lulled by the sound of the waves.

...

midnight.

Qin Lie woke up with an indescribable feeling of suffocation.

He felt as if he were being entangled by a giant octopus.

A warm, soft, and fragrant body pressed tightly against him from behind.

An arm held him tightly across the chest and around the waist.

One leg went even further, wrapping itself around his thigh.

He looked like a giant koala, clinging tightly to his body.

Qin Lie instantly regained consciousness.

His body was as stiff as a sheet of iron.

The amazing softness and warmth coming from his back made his blood run cold.

He could even feel her cheek resting on his shoulder.

Warm breath sprayed onto his neck, bringing a shivering itch.

That so-called "38th parallel" has long been crossed by her without a trace.

"Jiang Wu!"

Qin Lie gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words.

This woman is a liar!

He reached out and tried to pull her off him.

But as soon as he moved, the person in his arms let out a soft moan.

She seemed to be sleeping soundly, but his movements disturbed her, and she stirred in annoyance.

Instead of letting go, they hugged even tighter.

Her soft body unconsciously rubbed against his stiff back.

Qin Lie gasped.

He felt the evil fire within him reignite with a "whoosh".

And it was more intense and unstoppable than ever before.

"Mmm...husband..."

Just as he was about to explode, he heard a girl's sleepy murmur in his ear.

"You smell so good..."

Her voice was soft and indistinct, as if she were pleading.

Qin Lie: "..."

He was completely paralyzed, as if struck by lightning.

fragrant?

He's a grown man, spending all his time training on the field, his body smells nothing but sweat and soap, how could he possibly smell good?

But when she said those words, they sounded like a magical spell.

It made his heart skip a beat.

This also caused a section of his hard-won psychological defenses to collapse instantly.

He stiffly turned his head to look at the woman clinging to him in the faint moonlight streaming through the window.

Her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes, like two small fans, cast a faint shadow under her eyes.

Her sleeping face was peaceful and serene, completely unlike the bewitching look she had during the day.

He looks like a completely unsuspecting child.

Was she really talking in her sleep?

Or... was it intentional?

Qin Lie couldn't tell the difference.

His mind was in complete chaos.

Reason told him that he should push her away immediately.

Maintain the discipline and boundaries that a soldier should have.

But his body honestly enjoyed this sudden intimacy.

He had never been so close to a woman before.

Her softness, her warmth, her fragrance...

Everything of this is a fatal temptation for a normal, vigorous young man.

Qin Lie's Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably.

His breathing became heavy.

He could feel some shameful changes happening to his body.

His hand, which he wanted to push her away, froze in mid-air.

In the end, it just drooped down helplessly.

Should I push her away?

Then what?

Throw her off the bed?

Looking at her sleeping face, Qin Lie found himself unable to bring himself to do it.

He closed his eyes in frustration.

never mind.

Just assume she's talking in her sleep.

Just pretend... you're experiencing sleep paralysis.

Qin Lie tried to hypnotize himself like this, attempting to fall asleep again.

But he failed.

If he could fall asleep while holding such a soft and fragrant "octopus" in his arms, he wouldn't be a man.

This night was longer than ever before for Qin Lie.

He lay motionless like a log, letting Jiang Wu hold him.

He could clearly hear her steady breathing and his own heart pounding like a drum.

The two sounds intertwined, creating an eerie harmony.

He stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, from late at night until dawn.

His body was in great pain.

He was also going through an internal struggle.

He found that his resistance to Jiang Wu was crumbling at a terrifying speed.

This woman is like a slow-acting poison.

It seeped into his very bones, bit by bit.

He knew it was dangerous, yet he couldn't help but want to get closer.

When the first loud bugle call sounded outside the window, Qin Lie felt as if he had been granted a pardon.

He sat up almost immediately.

The "octopus" on his body seemed to sense the movement, grumbling twice in dissatisfaction, but ultimately did not wake up.

Qin Lie looked down at the slender arm still wrapped around his waist and the pair of beautiful legs draped over his legs.

She has fair skin and beautiful features.

He quickly looked away, his ears burning again.

He carefully, as if defusing a time bomb, removed her hands and feet from his body.

Then, he dressed as quickly as possible and fled the room that had driven him out of control.

He needs to go to the training ground.

He needed to use the most intense training to release the restless, surging fire within him.

Otherwise, he feared he might do something irreversible.
