“Go ahead and write, I don’t mind. Zhao Zhiqing, I admire heroes like you who can protect our country, and I really like being your friend.”

"So, I'm a hero in your heart?" Zhao Jun was overjoyed.

"Yes, that's right. You are not afraid of hardship or death, protecting the safety of the motherland and the people. Aren't you heroes? Especially when the rioters attacked in Taohua Brigade last time, you bravely fought with the bandits. You are a very praiseworthy person."

Zhao Jun didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.

He raised his hand and gave Qin Zhenzhen a standard military salute: "Comrade Qin Zhenzhen, thank you for your praise. Rest assured, I will live up to your expectations and continue to work hard and train diligently to make greater contributions to the motherland and the people."

Qin Zhenzhen laughed and said, "You don't need to be so formal with me. You're making me feel like a leader in your unit."

Zhao Jun: Sooner or later I'll make her the boss of my home.

She was on top, and he was on the bottom.

Thinking about this, he suddenly realized how despicable he had been, and smiled at Qin Zhenzhen: "Comrade Qin Zhenzhen, I've finished speaking. May I ask, do you have any instructions for me, oh, anything you want to say to me?"

"I want you and my cousin to be safe and sound every time we go on a mission."

"Instructions received!"

"Alright, my cousin and his wife are waiting for us over there. Let's go over there quickly."

"good."

When Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan saw that the two of them had returned with smiles, they assumed that the good thing had probably come to fruition.

Afterwards, Qin Zhenzhen went home, while Xue Yanchen, Luo Jingyan, and Zhao Jun returned to the brigade.

The day before her departure, Luo Jingyan specially prepared two jars of mushroom sauce, five catties of osmanthus rice cake, and several catties of pork jerky for Xue Yanchen to take to the army.

Xue Yanchen arrived at the educated youth settlement and handed her a thousand yuan: "Jingyan, this is the allowance and task rewards I've saved up over the years. I won't be by your side anymore, so take this and spend it on whatever you want to buy."

"Yanchen, I have money."

Xue Yanchen stuffed the money into her hand and stroked her hair.

"You have a partner now, so let your partner support you."

"Do you still have money to spend?"

"Don't worry about me, I still have others."

"Oh well."

Luo Jingyan accepted it and then handed him the things she had prepared.

Xue Yanchen took the things, put them down, and then pulled her into his arms.

"Jingyan, the one I really want to take away is you." He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then kissed the tip of her nose, her cheeks, and finally his lips, sealing her breath.

After the kiss, Xue Yanchen said, "Jingyan, why don't I go back this time and submit a report to the military region leaders to apply for our marriage?"

Luo Jingyan also wanted to know the result as soon as possible, but she had no plans to get married yet. In addition, she was afraid that if this didn't work out, given Xue Yanchen's personality, he might just retire from the army.

She still wanted to leave some room for maneuver: "Don't rush me. I'm just afraid they won't agree now. Besides, it's a bit early to get married now. If we wait a while, we'll have a better chance of success."

Xue Yanchen always respected her ideas. "Alright then, we'll wait a few more days, but not too long."

"Um."

He remembered something he had promised her at the hospital, took her small hand, placed it on his abdomen, and asked her, "Do you want to see inside?"

"Abs!"

Luo Jingyan glanced over subconsciously.

Hmm, she'd been wanting to take a closer look for a while now.

"You said before that you would try to make me never get tired of looking at your body, so I'll take a good look at your abs to see if they can really satisfy me. If I'm not satisfied, you'd better keep working out until I am."

Xue Yanchen took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to show her right now: "I'm afraid the other educated youth will be here soon, so it's not convenient here. Let's go up the mountain later, to the place where I first told you I liked you."

"Okay, you go first, I'll follow behind."

About half an hour after Xue Yanchen left, Luo Jingyan also left the educated youth settlement. She went to the place she had agreed to meet Xue Yanchen, where he was already waiting.

"Jingyan".

"Yanchen."

After they came together, Xue Yanchen took Luo Jingyan's hand and said, "It's not safe here. I know a place that's quite secluded, and I guarantee no one will see us."

The place Xue Yanchen found was indeed very secluded, in a small mountain valley with a cave inside. The cave was blocked by steep rocks, and ordinary people would never come here.

Luo Jingyan followed him inside, marveling at the secluded location of the place.

How did you find this place?

"I discovered it by accident." Actually, he often wanders around the mountains and has basically set foot on 90 percent of the land.

They found a rock, and Xue Yanchen took off his thin cotton-padded jacket and placed it on the rock. They sat down together on it.

Luo Jingyan was a little nervous as she was about to do something "improper".

She glanced at the outside of the cave, and Xue Yanchen said, "Don't worry, no one will come."

"Um."

She was just nervous.

"Didn't you want to see my abs?" the man's voice rang out.

Luo Jingyan turned her head and her gaze fell directly on his waist.

After he took off his thin coat, he was left with only a single shirt underneath, and it seemed that he was wearing a vest under the shirt.

Because his muscles were so full, with some parts bulging, you could feel his immense power even through his clothes. Luo Jingyan stared at him blankly for a while, forgetting to react.

Seeing her dazed look, Xue Yanchen didn't interrupt her for the time being.

Luo Jingyan stared at it for a while before snapping out of her daze and quickly looking away.

She lost her composure just now; this man must have already mocked her in his heart, laughing at her for being too lustful and infatuated.

But thinking about it, she really was a lecherous and infatuated woman, and she really craved his abs and pecs.

So she turned her head back to look at him, since she hadn't come here today with any intention of doing anything serious.

He gestured with his eyes to his clothes: "Lift it up, and you can see."

Luo Jingyan bit her lip. This man actually wanted her to lift his clothes herself.

Seeing her hesitation, the man said, "Do it yourself, and you'll have plenty to eat and wear."

"You're really good at using metaphors." He just wanted her to touch him inappropriately: "Alright, here I come."

Luo Jingyan rubbed her hands together, then reached out her groping hand towards Xue Yanchen.

The hem of his shirt was stuck in his waistband. She pinched the shirt and slowly pulled it up until she finally pulled the hem out completely, revealing a section of wheat-colored skin and full, firm muscles. Then she withdrew her hand.

To allow her to appreciate him better, Xue Yanchen simply unbuttoned all the buttons on his shirt, revealing his entire chest and abdomen.
