Chapter 141 Date
Qin Yu has been busy since then. Seeing this, Su Qing did not follow the main force to the capital, but flew back to the Dawn Base by herself in a helicopter. When she entered the house, it was already pitch dark. Today was probably her most tiring day. She lay on the sofa motionless.
Fang Qing heard that she had returned and came to her courtyard. Seeing that the house was dark and the lights were not on, she walked into the main room in confusion.
"Xiao Qing, are you home?"
The bedroom light came on, and Fang Qing was shocked by Su Qing's injuries as soon as she entered the room.
"How did you get injured like this!" She hurried over and looked at the gauze on the back of Su Qing's head, her eyes full of pity.
Su Qing reached out and touched the wound on the back of his head. Some of the hair around it had been cut off, and some of it was covered with dried blood scabs. He smiled self-deprecatingly, "I've never fought a mutant zombie before, so I just got a minor injury."
"Where's Captain Qin? Didn't he go looking for you? Why didn't he protect you?" Fang Qing was a little angry.
Su Qing shook her head. "He has a heavy responsibility, how can he always be with me?"
Fang Qing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then said helplessly: "That's right, as the first commander, Qin Yu has too many people and things to worry about..."
Seeing that Su Qing was not in high spirits, she said, "You should have a good rest. I will stay in the wing room tonight. Call me if you need anything."
Su Qing was very sleepy at the moment. He nodded, got up, changed his clothes, washed up quickly, fell on the bed and fell asleep.
She slept until the next afternoon. When Su Qing woke up, she felt refreshed but still a little dizzy. The military doctor said that she probably had a mild concussion from the shock wave of the artillery explosion. The pain would subside after a few days of rest, avoiding strenuous exercise.
With an empty stomach, Su Qing walked out of the room and headed towards the kitchen, only to find Fang Qing fiddling with something inside.
"Sister Fang Qing?"
"Xiao Qing, have you rested enough?"
Seeing Su Qing looking at the porridge bubbling in the casserole, Fang Qing smiled and said, "I was worried that you would be hungry when you woke up, and I was also worried that you were injured and couldn't eat anything, so I cooked some porridge and kept it warm on the stove."
Fang Qing accompanied Su Qing for dinner. Seeing that her mental state had improved a lot, she felt relieved and left to deal with the affairs of the base.
After dinner, Su Qing lay back on the bed. Just as she was about to fall asleep, her bracelet vibrated. It was Qin Yu's video call request.
She sat up and clicked the answer button.
As soon as the video was connected, Qin Yu first looked at Su Qing carefully for a few times, then said apologetically: "They said you were seriously injured. I'm sorry! I should have been with you at the time."
"I'm fine, don't worry."
The two fell silent at the same time, their eyes locked, listening to each other's breathing. The other party said softly: "Xiao Qing, I'm sorry, there are times when I can't take care of you..."
Su Qing looked at Qin Yu's bloodshot eyes and knew that he hadn't rested for a moment. "I know. We've talked about this before, right? Go do your thing. I do feel a little disappointed, but as long as you have me in your heart, I will support you no matter what you do. I cherish every day we spend together and won't let these little things interfere."
"The military doctor said you have a mild concussion. Don't go out these days and rest well at the base. I will come to accompany you as soon as I finish my work here." Qin Yu warned seriously.
"I see. You too, no matter how busy you are, you have to take a break, otherwise I'll be heartbroken."
After hanging up the video, she touched her heart and found it was beating fast. It was the first time she said such straightforward words. She covered her face shyly and fell back on the bed.
On the other side, Qin Yu's bracelet's virtual screen had disappeared, but he still held his hands up, with that sweet and melodious voice pretending to be calm still lingering in his ears. It was so gentle yet it shook his heart. He had never had such a strong urge to hug someone tightly.
The military doctor and the two soldiers he entrusted with the task exaggerated her condition, making it sound very serious. At that moment, his heart seemed to be tightly gripped, and regret and heartache almost took his breath away.
Su Qing did not follow her to the capital but went straight back to the Dawn Base. He was worried that she would be angry, and even more worried that something had happened to her. He was too cautious to ask, and he was unusually cowardly.
Later, he couldn't help asking Fang Qing, and learned that she was very weak and had been sleeping. At that time, he didn't care about any tasks or responsibilities in his mind. He only had one thought, that is, he had to be by Su Qing's side, watching over her and protecting her!
That was the first time since he joined the army that he disobeyed military orders and abandoned everything without caring about anything.
But the helicopter had not taken off yet when Qin Yu received news from Fang Qing that Su Qing had woken up and was in much better spirits after eating.
During a video call, she did not hide her unhappiness, but told him with a little shyness and pride that she would support him. At that moment, he felt that all the support he had received in his life was not as heavy as this gentle voice.
How could Qin Yu deserve such a beautiful woman?
…
After resting for a few days in the base, the dizziness in Su Qing's head finally disappeared. After the meeting that day, it was completely dark. She walked out of the meeting room and headed towards her office.
As soon as she opened the door, she heard the sound of wind by her ears. Someone grabbed Su Qing's wrist and pulled it hard, then she was pulled into the house and thrown into a warm embrace.
The door closed with a click, and a familiar breath filled the dark room. Su Qing opened his eyes wide, "You... um."
The tall figure pressed down towards her, holding her waist tightly, his slightly cool lips pressed against her soft lips, and his hot breath instantly enveloped her.
"Hmm..." She made a small sound.
The man's whole body trembled, as if he was stimulated, and his kiss was even more forceful and irresistible, as if he wanted to tear her apart and eat her into his stomach. Su Qing's hands unconsciously climbed up his shoulders, and her fingertips sank into his tight muscles. Her legs went weak, and if Qin Yu hadn't held her tightly, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Su Qing felt her consciousness gradually fading away. Qin Yu's arms wrapped around her waist, holding her tightly in his arms. His other hand supported the back of her head, deepening this almost predatory kiss.
"Xiao Qing..." Qin Yu's voice was low and hoarse, carrying suppressed desire, and it came into Su Qing's ears intermittently.
Su Qing's consciousness was struggling in the fog. She wanted to push Qin Yu away and ask him to stop, but all that came out was a meaningless murmur.
Qin Yu seemed to sense her weak resistance. He paused slightly, and his hot lips moved away from hers. He moved down along her cheek, leaving a series of burning kiss marks on her neck.
"Don't...Qin Yu!" Su Qing finally regained some strength. Her fingers trembled slightly as she pushed him, but it seemed as if she was just scratching his back lightly.
Qin Yu raised his head. Although Su Qing could not see his expression clearly, she could feel his deep gaze fixed on her. That gaze contained too many complex emotions: desire, worry, longing, and an undercurrent that Su Qing could not understand.
He looked at her with hot eyes, then looked above her head, "Where is it?"
Su Qing blinked and didn't react for a moment. When Qin Yu moved her hair, she reached out to touch the wound on the back of her head.
"No, it's just a small wound."
Qin Yu acted as if he didn't hear anything. He raised his hand and pressed the switch on the wall. The room suddenly became bright. He forcefully supported Su Qing and turned her around.
"Over here, this piece is almost done."
The wound was almost healed, but the redness, swelling, and stitches were still clearly visible. Just thinking about the situation at that time made me a little scared. And the unevenly cut hair around it. His eyes were heavy, and he tensed for a moment before sighing and hugging her gently. "Don't hide your injuries from me in the future! Do you know how painful it is for me, your boyfriend, to know that you were injured from someone else?"
Su Qing turned around and looked at him obediently with a serious face, "Okay, from now on, no matter what happens, I won't hide it from you."
Qin Yu pulled her back into his arms, hugging her tightly. He bent down slightly, resting his chin on Su Qing's shoulder, his warm breath brushing against the hair by her ear.
Su Qing moved uncomfortably.
"Don't move." His voice was low and hoarse, with a bit of hidden trembling, "Just like this, let me hold you for a while."
Su Qing raised her hand and patted Qin Yu's back gently, soothing him.
Qin Yu said that he had taken a leave of absence this time so that he could accompany her for a few days. Upon seeing this, Su Qing waited until the evening of the next day when it was not so hot outside and took Qin Yu shopping.
The commercial street of the Shuguang Base has now expanded twice as much, and it still has an ancient and quaint environment. Most of the shops inside sell traditional Chinese handicrafts.
Su Qing often comes here to ask about everyone's business and ask for suggestions. Many merchants know her. She walks around the market without any hesitation, holding an ice cream in one hand and holding Qin Yu in the other.
"Aunt Zhang, please pack some cakes for me."
Aunt Zhang packed the things and handed them over. Qin Yu stepped forward to take them and handed her the money.
"Hey, Chief, where did you find this handsome young man? You really have good taste!"
Su Qing and the others had heard such words a lot since they came to the commercial street. She smiled coquettishly and cooperated very well with the teasing. Qin Yu followed behind her. Although his face was still serious, the pride in his eyes could not be hidden.
After this round of shopping, Qin Yu's hands were full of things, and he was standing at the door of a bamboo weaving shop.
Su Qing was talking inside.
"Grandpa Guan, the batch of fire sticks we ordered are almost used up. I'd have to trouble you to make another batch."
"Come on, Xiao Su, come back in four days to get it."
"I'm not in a hurry. Take your time and don't get too tired."
"I'm in good health, old man, so don't worry."
Seeing that Su Qing had finished chatting with her grandfather, Guan Xiao stepped forward, pulled Su Qing aside, and looked at her teasingly, "Sister Su, if I remember correctly, the person standing at the door is Captain Qin from the capital, right?"
Su Qing followed her line of sight and met Qin Yu's gaze. They smiled at each other and she nodded gently, "It's him."
Guan Xiao blinked, looked at the subtle scene in front of him, and smiled knowingly, "Then you two..."
Su Qing walked over and took Qin Yu's arm, then smiled at Guan Xiao and said, "We are together now. Call me brother-in-law."
"Wow~ Hello, brother-in-law. I'm Guan Xiao." Guan Xiao walked forward with sparkling eyes and stretched out her hand to shake his hand, but seeing that Qin Yu's hands were full, she had to give up. "Brother-in-law, your aura is so powerful. Brother-in-law, you don't look as scary as the legend says."
Qin Yu was stunned by this sudden enthusiasm. He subconsciously turned to look at Su Qing, but saw that she was holding back a smile. He had no choice but to nod and said, "Hello, I'm Qin Yu."
"Brother-in-law, did your sister take you out on a date?"
"Guan Xiao!" Su Qing's ears flushed and she spoke out to stop him.
Qin Yu smiled and explained, "I rarely have time, so I want to take her for a good stroll."
"Wow, what a man!"
"Okay, we're leaving." Su Qing pulled Qin Yu over and turned to leave.
Guan Xiao was still shouting from behind, "Goodbye, brother-in-law, come and play often when you have nothing to do!"
Su Qing pulled Qin Yu and hurriedly left the commercial street under the gazes and teasing of many merchants.
The sun was setting, and the golden light was hazy. The two of them walked slowly along the street towards Su Qing's house.
Qin Yu was holding things in both hands, looking at the person who was walking slowly beside him with his head down. The intertwined shadows of the two stretched very long on the road. The light of the setting sun became softer and softer, dyeing everything golden.
He suddenly spoke.
"So…are we dating?"
Su Qing looked up at Qin Yu in surprise and saw a meaningful smile on his face.
She took a step forward, her small hand squeezed into the broad palm, her fingertips slightly curled up, tightly grasping the warmth. She raised her face and chuckled softly, "Yes, we are dating."
