Chapter 180 Beautiful Like a Fairy
He looked at her flushed cheeks and her dreamy, watery eyes, and his last bit of restraint was about to break.
He scooped her up in his arms, causing Josie to gasp softly and instinctively wrap her arms around his neck.
Fu Jinxing carried her and strode towards his private room in the core area of the base.
He tried to choose routes with fewer people, but the base was only so big, and he inevitably ran into Shen Han, who had just come out of the armory, and Xie Jue, who was on patrol.
Chen Han's steps suddenly stopped, his gaze instantly turning frosty as he stared at Qiao Xi, who was being held tightly in Fu Jinxing's arms with her cheek buried in the crook of Fu Jinxing's neck, and at Fu Jinxing's obviously possessive and eager posture.
Xie Jue was also stunned. A complex emotion flashed in his icy blue eyes, and he subconsciously looked at Chen Han beside him.
Fu Jinxing glanced at them without pausing, walked straight to the door, quickly unlocked it with his fingerprint and password, and slipped inside with Qiao Xi in his arms. With a "bang," the heavy door blocked all outside sight.
The air in the corridor seemed to freeze.
Shen Han stood still, like a silent statue.
Xie Jue stood beside him and keenly sensed the oppressive atmosphere emanating from him.
He frowned subconsciously, feeling a strange, aching tightness in his chest.
He didn't quite understand this feeling, but he just felt very uncomfortable watching Josie being carried away by another man like that.
He hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, his tone revealing the straightforwardness and confusion of a young man: "Brother Chen Han... will you... be sad?"
Shen Han slowly turned his head and looked into Xie Jue's cold and fierce eyes.
After a long pause, he slowly tugged a bitter smile at the corners of his mouth, his voice low and hoarse, "Slowly... you'll get used to it."
He seemed to be speaking to Xie Jue, or perhaps trying to convince himself.
The world has long since collapsed, order has been lost, and the fact that there are more men than women is undeniable.
It is almost inevitable that powerful female superhumans will become the center of attention for many powerful males.
He knew better than anyone that Josie was not a caged bird; she had her own ambitions and brilliance.
If it had to be one-on-one, he might not be able to keep her heart at all. Both Lu Yuyang and Fu Jinxing had a deeper emotional foundation with Xixi.
Rather than losing everything in the end, it's better to accept the status quo now. At least Fu Jinxing and Xixi grew up together, and he will be a powerful ally.
Only by uniting with the most stable forces can he ultimately occupy an unshakable position by Xixi's side and in her heart.
But the bitterness and torment involved can only be swallowed by oneself.
********
The temperature inside the room had already risen significantly.
Fu Jinxing placed Qiao Xi on the bed, and his burning kisses fell again, from her forehead to her eyes and then to her neck, with an urgent desire to possess her completely.
His fingers deftly unbuttoned her clothes.
"Wait... Brother Jinxing..." Qiao Xi struggled to find her voice amidst his intense kisses, pressing her hand against his firm chest, her breath unsteady, "I just went to help move some soil, and I'm covered in dust... I want to wash up."
What Josie didn't know was that at that moment, her eyes were brimming with spring, her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and she looked like a fairy.
Fu Jin took a deep breath and used all his strength to suppress the urge to break free of his cage.
Knowing that she had always been a clean person, he had no choice but to reluctantly let go of her, his voice hoarse: "Okay, then Xixi, hurry up."
Josie felt like she had been granted a pardon and immediately crawled out from under him, rushing into the ensuite bathroom attached to the room as if she were fleeing.
She locked the door, took a couple of breaths, and tried to calm herself down.
She quickly turned on the hot water, and the rising steam soon filled the small space.
The warm water washed over her body, cleansing away fatigue and dust, and also allowing her tense nerves to relax slightly.
She squeezed out some of the homemade soap from the base, which had a faint herbal scent, and carefully rubbed it into her long hair and body.
Just as she closed her eyes and rinsed the foam off her hair, a very subtle, strange sensation, unlike the sound of flowing water, suddenly came over her!
It was as if a gaze pierced through the mist and locked onto her.
Josie's hair stood on end instantly!
She covered her private parts, turned off the water, and shouted sharply, "Who's there?"
He then quickly turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire bathroom.
However, there was nothing behind him.
Only the pervasive steam and the dripping sound of water could be heard.
Shower head, toilet, sink... everything is as usual.
Or is it just my imagination?
She frowned, but a strange chill ran down her spine.
After observing for a while and confirming that she was just overthinking it, she turned on the hot water again, trying to dispel the strange feeling.
The warm water enveloped her once again.
But just as she relaxed her guard slightly, a pair of warm, firm, and strong arms suddenly wrapped around her from behind, pulling her into an equally hot and wet chest!
The familiar scent instantly enveloped her, and Josie relaxed completely.
How did you get in?
"Xi Xi..." Fu Jinxing's voice was extremely hoarse, his burning lips pressed against her earlobe, his hot breath making her skin tremble, "Brother Jinxing can't wait..."
His arms tightened, their burning skin pressed together without any resistance, and they could clearly feel each other's intense heartbeats.
"We...we'll wash together."
Before Josie could respond, his burning kisses rained down on the back of her neck and shoulders...
The water washed over their bodies, but it couldn't extinguish the suddenly rising flames.
Josie tilted her head back, her eyes half-closed...
Before long, in the cramped bathroom, the sound of rushing water couldn't mask the increasingly rapid breathing and suppressed moans, which continued for a long time...
When Josie woke up again, she glanced at the clock by her bed and saw that it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
The seat next to him was empty, with only a slight crease and the lingering, cool scent of Fu Jinxing.
She rubbed her aching lower back, her cheeks flushing slightly as she recalled the night before in the bathroom and the subsequent frenzy.
Fu Jinxing had amazing stamina. Even after working up most of the night, he was still able to get up early on time to report to the lab and continue his brain-burning research projects.
This man's energy is simply superhuman.
She slowly got out of bed, washed up and got ready, feeling as if her whole body had been disassembled and was sore and weak.
She stretched out a big yawn before opening the door and going out.
The base was already bustling with activity.
Everyone was busy in an orderly manner, doing their own jobs.
His face was no longer numb; it had regained some of its vitality.
Without realizing it, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
"woke up?"
Qiao Xi turned around at the sound and saw that Chen Han had walked over at some point.
She smiled at him, but before she could speak, his hands were already on her waist, gently kneading it...
