Zhou Qiqi counted on her fingers, excitedly imagining her future little home. The more she talked, the brighter her eyes became, as if the three-story house had already been built and was right in front of her.
Shen Huaichuan didn't interrupt her. He just lowered his head slightly, his gaze gently falling on her slightly flushed cheeks, a indulgent smile on his lips, and listened quietly to what she had to say.
She had almost finished speaking and paused to catch her breath when he spoke softly, his tone full of affection:
"Okay, whatever you want, we'll make it. I've noted it all down. I'll go back and submit a report to apply, and then find some knowledgeable comrades to help draw up the blueprints..."
Zhou Qiqi felt incredibly happy inside, but she didn't want to show it.
She proudly raised her delicate chin, extended her slender finger, pointed to the brightest star in the night sky, and deliberately teased him:
"Hmph, easy for you to say! Well... what if I wanted the brightest star in the sky right now? Commander Shen, would you pluck it down for me too?"
She blinked her big eyes, her gaze full of charm and liveliness.
Looking at the dazzling starlight reflected in her eyes, Shen Huaichuan chuckled softly, stretched out his long arm, and pulled her slender waist into his embrace, holding her tightly.
He leaned down, his warm lips close to her sensitive earlobe, his breath hot against her skin, his voice deep and magnetic as he spoke:
"Silly girl...didn't the stars already fall into your eyes? They're brighter than any star in the sky."
His warm breath brushed against her ear, and Zhou Qiqi felt a tingling sensation instantly spread from her ear to her whole body, making her legs feel weak.
Before she could react, Shen Huaichuan's lips had already precisely captured hers and kissed her deeply.
With elderly parents and young children at home these days, the couple hasn't had this kind of intimate time alone together for a long time.
At first, Zhou Qiqi was a little shy and subconsciously pushed him away gently.
But she quickly surrendered to Shen Huaichuan's passionate and lingering advances, softening in his strong and warm embrace, and began to respond awkwardly yet enthusiastically.
Overwhelmed with emotion, the two kissed passionately, embracing each other as they slowly moved from the center of the playground to the edge, to a corner of a wall surrounded by several old trees.
Shen Huaichuan's tall frame tightly trapped her between the wall and him. He bent down and deepened the kiss.
Zhou Qiqi stood on tiptoe, almost hanging on him, immersed in this long-lost intimacy.
However, as they kissed, Shen Huaichuan's hand, which had been holding her waist properly, began to wander and gently caress her back, even showing a tendency to slowly move downwards.
Zhou Qiqi sensed it keenly, barely regaining a sliver of reason from her intoxication, and protested breathlessly with muffled gasps at his lips:
"No... Huaichuan... is outside..."
Shen Huaichuan, his breathing unsteady, soothed him in a hoarse voice, "Be good... I know what I'm doing..."
But while saying that, his hands didn't stop at all; on the contrary, they became even bolder.
Zhou Qiqi knew that he was still bound by discipline and wouldn't dare to really mess around outside.
In addition, she also longed for this intimacy, so she half-heartedly let him do as he pleased, tilting her head back to continue their passionate kiss.
Just as she was lost in passion and her body went limp, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something orange flashing by in the shadows of the corner of the wall behind her!
This place is all bare tree trunks and gray walls, where did the orange come from?
Zhou Qiqi's heart tightened suddenly, and she instantly snapped back to reality! Someone was there!
She quickly pushed hard against Chen Huaichuan's firm chest and said urgently:
"Stop! There's someone... there seems to be someone over there!"
Shen Huaichuan was in the throes of passion when she suddenly pushed him away. He was very unwilling, but still not satisfied, he lightly pecked her lips a few more times before panting and pulling away slightly.
He suppressed the restlessness within him and reached out to tidy up Zhou Qiqi's slightly messy hair.
Looking at her lips, red and moist from being kissed, and her dazed eyes, I felt a tightening in my lower abdomen again, but at this moment I could only helplessly restrain myself.
Zhou Qiqi hurriedly straightened her clothes and quickly turned around to look at the corner where she had seen the strange color, but all she saw was a shadow and no one was there.
She frowned, somewhat puzzled.
"Huh? That's strange... I clearly saw an orange shadow flicker just now, was I just seeing things?"
Shen Huaichuan, his anger now simmering with nowhere to vent, sharply scanned that corner and shouted in a deep voice:
"Stop hiding, come out, Thunder."
Zhou Qiqi was stunned: "Lei Ming? How could he..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lei Ming appeared around the corner, scratching his head awkwardly as he walked out sheepishly.
Behind him followed a girl wearing a beautiful orange wool coat; it was none other than Yuan Xiaoyuan!
"What...what are you all doing hiding there?"
Zhou Qiqi's face flushed bright red instantly, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.
Yuan Xiaoyuan's face turned bright red, and she waved her hands repeatedly, hurriedly explaining:
"Sister Qiqi, we...we didn't mean to! We just came here to talk for a bit, and then...you guys came over..."
In that situation, they were caught between a rock and a hard place, so they hurriedly hid.
Lei Ming quickly raised his hands, emphasizing with a righteous expression:
"Yes, yes, yes! Sister-in-law! Commander Shen! We were just around the corner! With our backs to you! We really didn't see or hear anything! I swear!"
His words were probably true, but this explanation, which seemed like he was trying to cover something up, only made the atmosphere more awkward.
