"Okay." Su Wantang nodded.

"Turn to face me sideways," the man said in a deep voice.

"Um."

Su Wantang's cheeks felt a little hot, and she obediently turned around and rested her face on the pillow.

Lu Linchuan's hands were large, with calluses on his fingertips from years of holding guns. When they were placed on her waist, the rough touch made her body tremble slightly.

His pressure was just right, precisely pressing on her acupoints that were sore and swollen.

Su Wantang was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

The man's hand traveled up her spine, kneading her tense shoulders and neck.

“Turn around a bit,” the man said.

The woman obediently did as she was told, and then she turned around.

In the dim light, she could see his focused profile, his jawline taut, exuding the unique fortitude of a soldier.

This man usually looks as cold and hard as a stone, but when he cares for someone, he is so tender that it softens your heart.

A warm sensation spread from her legs, carrying a strange electric current that gradually tensed Su Wantang's body.

The air seemed to have become thick and sticky.

His breath and her heartbeat intertwined, becoming the only sound in the room.

Lu Linchuan slowed down.

His hand lingered on her ankle, his fingertips unconsciously caressing it.

The skin there was the most sensitive, and Su Wantang felt as if a small flame had ignited where he touched her, quickly spreading throughout her body.

She could feel the man beside her stiffen and his breathing become heavier.

The temperature in the room suddenly rose.

Lu Linchuan abruptly pulled his hand back and stood up.

His movements were somewhat hasty, and he even knocked over the water glass on the bedside table.

"You...you should get some rest." His voice was terribly hoarse.

Before Su Wantang could react, she saw him turn around and quickly walk into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of rushing water came from inside.

Didn't he just wash up?

Why did you go to wash again?

Su Wantang lay on the bed, stunned for several seconds, then her cheeks flushed bright red.

This man...

She pulled the blanket over her head, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She waited for a while, and seeing that there was still a constant gurgling sound of water inside, and that Lu Linchuan had not come out for a long time, Su Wantang gradually became sleepy. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

An hour later, Lu Linchuan came out of the bathroom again.

He was still chilled from the cold shower, and worried that the chill might affect her, he dried himself off and moved around a bit. Once he warmed up, he walked toward the bed.

At this moment, the little woman on the bed was already asleep.

The woman's long, smooth, black hair was scattered on the pillow. Her eyes were serene and obedient. When she was asleep, her long, curled eyelashes cast two faint shadows under her eyelids. She was as beautiful and delicate as Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale.

She's so beautiful.

Lu Linchuan's heart softened completely. He gently covered her with the blanket, his movements careful and tender, as if afraid of disturbing her.

"Wife, go to sleep." The man leaned down and gently kissed her smooth forehead. Then, he quietly lay down beside her, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Lu Linchuan went to the military base.

Su Wantang stretched and felt extremely comfortable.

When she opened her eyes, the bed was empty, only the man's body heat still lingering. (This chapter has been finished. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
