Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and there was no sign of stopping, Lu Zhan began to take off his shirt.

Shao Jingque was stunned by his action and stammered:

"You, why are you taking off your clothes?"

Lu Zhan, who was stripped down to a vest, looked back at her. This time, he instantly understood the panic in her tone and couldn't help but find it a little funny:

"This rain might continue all night. I'll use my clothes to cover you and take you back to the guesthouse. When you get home, take a hot bath and drink some medicine to prevent a cold."

Seeing Shao Jingque's obviously relaxed expression, he rarely felt like joking and couldn't help but ask:

"What do you think I'm going to do?"

Shao Jingque's pretty face flushed. She was too embarrassed to say out loud what she had just thought about, so she could only make up a random answer:

"I thought you wanted to take a shower!"

Lu Zhan was stunned for a moment, and the next second he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Shao Jingque looked at him in surprise. This was the first time she saw Lu Zhan smile. She didn't expect that this cold and serious face looked so good when he smiled. She couldn't help but stare at him in a trance for a moment.

As he was laughing, Lu Zhan suddenly noticed that Shao Jingque was staring at him intently. He slammed on the brakes and his face turned red.

The two of them just stood there staring at each other blankly under the eaves. After a while, Lu Zhan finally found his mouth and said:

"Ahem... Let's go. You'll catch a cold if you don't leave now."

Shao Jingque finally came to his senses and felt as if he had caught a cold. His forehead, cheeks, and even the palms of his hands were burning, and his mind was a little unclear. He could only nod stupidly when he spoke.

Lu Zhan lifted up his shirt and held Shao Jingque in his arms. After looking at each other, they stepped into the heavy rain together.

Perhaps because he was worried that she would get wet in the rain, Lu Zhan leaned very close to her, and some physical contact was inevitable while they were running. Shao Jingque's slightly cold shoulders rubbed against his hot chest from time to time, which made his blood rush and his heart beat faster than when he was running 30 kilometers with a weight.

The heat emanating from his body completely enveloped Shao Jingque. The pleasant light soap scent mixed with the smell of male hormones made Shao Jingque's heart beat wildly again.

The two of them ran all the way in the rain, no one spoke. The hung shirt was like a barrier, enclosing the two of them in a small, isolated space, yet inexplicably reassuring.

If it weren't for the wind blowing past his ears from time to time and the raindrops gently hitting his face, Lu Zhan would have felt dazed several times, thinking that he and Shao Jingque were the only two people left in the world. The unprecedented sweetness and warmth made him inexplicably wish the road to the guesthouse was longer.

When they arrived downstairs at the guesthouse, the two men, both already soaked from head to toe, pursed their lips, and neither of them said goodbye first.

It was only when Shao Jingque couldn't help sneezing that Lu Zhan frowned and said:

"Hurry up and go in. You must have caught a cold. Go upstairs and take a hot shower and change into dry clothes. You must use a thicker blanket when you sleep tonight. If you don't have enough, ask the front desk to get another one."

Shao Jingque listened to his careful instructions and felt his ears getting hot:

"Okay, I see. Thank you for taking me back."

After they finished speaking, the two of them were as slow as snails and could not move forward.

It just so happened that the receptionist on night duty today was the same one we met on the first day. She saw the two of them running through the rain to the door of the guesthouse, but they didn't come in for a long time, so she ran out and greeted them:

"Isn't this Captain Lu and his wife? Oh, you're all wet. You must have run back in the rain. Hurry up and change your clothes. Be careful not to catch a cold!"

The implication seemed to be that they should both go upstairs together. After all, the front desk clerk thought that since the marriage registration had been submitted, they were considered a legal couple, so it made sense for them to live in the same room.

Shao Jingque blushed immediately. She lowered her head and secretly looked up at Lu Zhan's expression. She was not sure whether she should invite Lu Zhan upstairs.

It stands to reason that after getting caught in the rain, it is best to take a hot bath as soon as possible to expel the cold from your body, which can minimize the risk of catching a cold.

It should not be difficult to find a set of dry clothes suitable for land combat in the military guesthouse. If all else fails, you can wash your hair with hot water, blow it dry and wait for the rain to stop before leaving.

But if the rain doesn't stop all night, and they are alone in a room on a thunderstorm, just thinking about it...

Her shy and timid expression caught Lu Zhan's eyes, like a spark that ignited a fire under the haystack, reminding him of the passionate scene of the two of them at Yue Mansion that day. His throat suddenly became dry and he couldn't help swallowing.

When Shao Jingque raised her eyes, she saw his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and the blood vessels were clearly visible under the bulging muscles. At the same time, the heat around his body began to rise, causing her face to become hot as well.

All these signs were suggesting that if they went upstairs at this moment, something would probably happen between them...

But strangely, Shao Jingque did not feel any rejection at all, but instead had some secret expectation.

For the first time in his life, Lu Zhan doubted his ability to control himself. Just imagining himself and Shao Jingque being alone in a room made him feel his blood rushing back and his muscles swollen and uncomfortable. He was afraid that he would do something "beastly" again.

"Do you have any umbrellas here?"

He suddenly turned around and asked the front desk clerk, startling him:

"Ah, yes."

"Then I'll borrow one and return it tomorrow."

Hearing Lu Zhan say this, Shao Jingque's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, but he also felt a little lost uncontrollably.

She secretly laughed at herself and thought that she must have been dazed by the rain and started to fantasize about Lu Zhan again. For her behavior of not wanting to be responsible for others and wanting to sleep with them, there is only one word to describe her - scumbag!

Shao Jingque finished criticizing himself and quickly calmed down:

"Go back and take a hot bath soon. Don't let your health get to you because you're a national defense doctor. This autumn rain is the easiest to make people sick."

This was not nonsense. In early autumn, because the weather had not yet completely turned cold, a sudden rain could easily make people think they were in summer. Many people got caught in the rain without realizing that this was no longer the season where they could get caught in the rain without worrying.

Unlike the warm wind in summer, the autumn wind with a hint of chill will take advantage of the situation and sneak in inadvertently. Those who are caught in the rain and are not careful can easily catch a cold with the help of the autumn wind.

Seeing Lu Zhan nod, she had no reason to stay any longer, so she waved at him, turned around and ran up the stairs.

Fortunately, the conditions at the military district guesthouse were very good, and there was hot water available when he returned at night. Shao Jingque took a comfortable hot bath.

I was sitting on a chair drying my hair when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
