Chapter 288 Huo Tingxiao's Past
During the dinner, Huo Tingxiao was just a waiter who accompanied the guests silently and served the food.
Only two words were said from beginning to end.
Um.
good.
Shen Qingran has become accustomed to his aloof image in public.
I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After dinner, they separated and got into the car. Huo Tingxiao fastened her seat belt, and the two drove home.
After returning home and taking a shower, Shen Qingran sat at the desk and listed the things they talked about tonight one by one.
All I think about in my mind is how to lay a good foundation for the first step of my career.
Huo Tingxiao sat next to her, wiping his wet hair with a towel.
His eyes were burning.
"No sleep?"
Huo Tingxiao's somewhat hoarse voice caused Shen Qingran to look back at him.
"Go to sleep. I'll sort out my things first and sleep later."
Huo Tingxiao stared at Shen Qingran under the light. She looked delicate and soft, and her throat rolled up and down unconsciously.
"Ranran, I will be going back in two days."
Shen Qingran paused with the pen in his hand, "Didn't you say there was still half a month left?"
Huo Tingxiao pulled her arm and naturally brought her to his legs.
"I promised Ji Qiubai that I would accompany him on a mission after the New Year."
Task?
"How long will you be gone?"
Huo Tingxiao played with her slender white jade fingers, and held her fingers together with his big hand. "She should be back in a month."
One month?
That was April, and in his previous life, it should have been more than two months before Huo Tingxiao had the accident.
Shen Qingran was thinking about it in his mind, but still a little worried.
Because of her, many things have changed.
She can't take it lightly.
"Do you really have to go?"
Huo Tingxiao nodded and said, "I promised."
Shen Qingran also realized this problem, and she really might not be able to change it.
"What if I go with you?"
Huo Tingxiao was stunned for a moment. She was not usually so clingy. What happened today?
However, the border is dangerous, so he certainly wouldn't be willing to do that.
"I'm just going to help Ji Qiubai solve some problems. It's not dangerous."
Shen Qingran looked at her own reflection in his dark pupils.
Her fingers gently stroked his long eyelashes.
"Huo Tingxiao~"
The two were very close to each other, and Huo Tingxiao's heart was beating wildly.
She just shouted, and felt like she could give her her life.
His eyes dimmed as he looked at the large area of skin exposed at the collar of her pajamas.
"Ranran..."
As he spoke, he moved closer, and a familiar, refreshing fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.
Shen Qingran immediately knew what he was thinking.
He coughed quickly and said, "Huo Tingxiao, I don't feel well."
Huo Tingxiao's hand on her waist stopped immediately.
Looks like an eggplant hit by frost.
After turning off the lights, he put his hand on Shen Qingran's waist.
"sleep."
Shen Qingran bit her lip, not because she didn’t want to sleep.
I really can't sleep. Who can fall asleep with something propped up against them?
"Huo Tingxiao."
"Um?"
"I feel uncomfortable when you do this."
Huo Tingxiao obediently moved back half an inch.
Shen Qingran felt that the heat was like something else.
"I can help you."
After saying this, her face turned red in the dark.
Huo Tingxiao:........
There was a constant rustling sound.
Shen Qingran felt like crying but had no tears. If she had known this earlier, she would not have felt so sorry for him.
The voices sounded a little anxious.
"Huo Tingxiao, are you okay?"
The hoarse voice concealed repression, "Wife..."
I don’t know how long it took, Shen Qingran shook his wrist.
Furious, "Hmph!"
Huo Tingxiao: My wife is so loving.
"roll!"
How could he bear to see her dirty?
He quickly fetched some water and used soap to wash her thoroughly.
Finally, he kissed her soft little white hand.
But he was ruthlessly pushed away by Shen Qingran.
Never feel sorry for men again!
Shen Qingran nestled in his arms, and Huo Tingxiao rubbed her wrist seriously.
She didn’t know if it was because she was too comfortable, she felt a little dazed.
"Huo Tingxiao, Qin Xue said today that one of her friends wants to join us. I heard that there are many channels in Pengcheng and Yangcheng."
"But she said that person had some problems with you. Who was it?"
Huo Tingxiao's hand paused, and the stiffness of his fingertips made Shen Qingran sober up a little. She turned over and propped up her head to look at him.
In the darkness, she could feel the changes in Huo Tingxiao's mood.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Tingxiao suddenly sat up and asked, "Did Qin Xue say that?"
Shen Qingran nodded, "What's wrong with you?"
Huo Tingxiao sighed and said, "Wife, I'm going to drink some water."
Shen Qingran heard the sound of him getting out of bed and realized something was wrong.
What's going on?
Although she didn't know the details, she still guessed something. This matter was not ordinary for Huo Tingxiao.
It even still holds a heavy weight in his heart.
As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat.
She really wanted to know what could have made Huo Tingxiao like this.
But she didn't take the initiative to chase after him.
Instead, he lay sideways on the pillow.
After a long time, Shen Qingran heard movement at the door.
I felt him coming to bed. Although there was the smell of a shower, there was still a slight smell of cigarettes.
She dozed with her eyes closed.
After a while, Huo Tingxiao felt warm and reached out to hug her.
His chin rested on her chest.
"Wife, if it can help your business, I have no problem with it."
Shen Qingran opened her eyes, her sparkling eyes showing some curiosity.
"Are you going to tell me?"
Huo Tingxiao twirled his fingers around her seaweed-like hair.
"If I'm not mistaken, the person Qin Xue was talking about should be called Ye Chun."
This surname is not common.
Shen Qingran was still mumbling when she heard Huo Tingxiao's gentle explanation, "She also has a younger brother named Ye Xia. More than ten years ago, he joined the army with me."
"We met in the recruit company more than a decade ago, and then we trained together. After the recruit training, we were assigned to the same company and lived in the same dormitory."
"I had a very good relationship with him, and we worked very well together. He was the sniper of our team, and I was responsible for breakthroughs. Later, during a mission, he got into trouble."
Shen Qingran heard that Huo Tingxiao's voice was slightly choked, but not obvious.
"Does his accident have anything to do with you?"
It's very quiet in the dark night.
Huo Tingxiao's breathing became heavier, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long while, he spoke, "I'm going to say it's okay, do you believe it?"
Shen Qingran reached out and pinched his slightly cold fingers.
"Of course I do."
Huo Tingxiao smiled and held the person in his arms.
"In that mission, we were a team escorting a returning scientist, and we encountered an attack on the way to the mission."
"In order to ensure the safety of the scientists, I will be responsible for covering their retreat, and let him and another comrade be responsible for escorting the scientists."
"It happened when I was leaving and returning."
