After taking a shower, He Yanzhi was only wearing a thin vest on his upper body, revealing the muscle lines of his arms.
He went into the bedroom, where Guan Wenru seemed to be asleep.
There were still two quilts on the kang (heated brick bed)...
She didn't remove one of the beds...
He Yanzhi stood on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), pursed his lips, and stared at the two quilts for a moment.
Finally, he swallowed hard, turned off the light, and walked over to Guan Wenru.
He reached out and tentatively lifted the edge of the blanket covering Guan Wenru.
The cold air rushed in immediately.
Guan Wenru's body trembled almost imperceptibly, but she still did not open her eyes.
But... that previously steady breathing seemed to pause for a moment, as if holding its breath and waiting for something.
Knowing she wasn't asleep and seeing that she didn't object, He Yanzhi smiled slightly.
He deftly took off his shoes and lay down inside.
Guan Wenru, lying in bed, also smiled.
He Yanzhi turned to the side, his gaze falling on her slightly curled-up back.
He hesitated for less than two seconds before reaching out and placing his cool palm on her soft waist.
The moment their skin touched, they both felt as if they were struck by a subtle electric current.
Guan Wenru took a deep breath, her body tensing even more under his palm, like a fully drawn bow.
He Yanzhi's breathing suddenly became heavy. He leaned in, his burning lips pressing against her smooth nape... then lingering... awkwardly kissing her sensitive earlobe...
Suck and nibble gently...
The scorching heat made Guan Wenru's body tense up more and more.
She turned around, and their eyes met.
Their eyes seemed to draw each other in.
A moment later, He Yanzhi cupped her face in one hand and kissed her urgently.
Guan Wenru instinctively placed her hand on his waist, responding passionately.
Everything seemed to fall into place naturally.
He Yanzhi tightened his arms around her waist, almost as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
With his other hand, he eagerly reached upwards, wanting to possess the softness more completely.
"Wenru..."
His voice was terribly hoarse.
Just then, Guan Wenru suddenly regained her senses. She opened her eyes and anxiously pressed his hand, "No..."
“???” He Yanzhi looked down at her.
Guan Wenru saw the desire in his eyes and almost laughed, "I... I got my period yesterday."
"!!!"
These words, like a giant block of ice, slammed into He Yanzhi's burning desire.
Their eyes met for a moment, then he suddenly lowered his head and gently bit her neck, his voice low and husky, "You did it on purpose!"
Guan Wenru laughed, "I didn't!"
She gently pushed against his chest, "Why don't you... go to the bathroom... and calm down?"
He Yanzhi tapped her forehead, "Still gloating? You just wait!"
After gently uttering those harsh words, he quickly got up and left.
Guan Wenru chuckled softly, clutching her blanket.
After some time, He Yanzhi returned, carrying a bowl in his hand.
Steam rose from the rim of the bowl, white vapor curling upwards.
Guan Wenru raised an eyebrow and sat up.
He handed the bowl to her, saying, "Drink it while it's hot."
The bowl contains sweetened eggs.
Guan Wenru felt a warmth in her heart and took the drink slowly.
After she finished drinking, He Yanzhi went to wash the dishes, and Guan Wenru went to rinse her mouth.
Once the two were back in bed, Guan Wenru immediately reached out and wrapped her arms around his strong waist, burying her face in his chest.
He Yanzhi's body tensed up again the moment she got close, and the flames that had been extinguished by the cold water suddenly flared up.
However, knowing that it was inconvenient for her, he could only endure it.
He wrapped his arms around her and gently squeezed her waist. "You're on your period, why did you go into the water today? The water was so cold! What if you got sick from the cold? Don't you know your place? If you dare to do something like that again, I won't let you off the hook!"
Hearing this string of accusations, Guan Wenru laughed heartlessly, "It's nothing, Commander He, go to sleep... I'm so sleepy."
He Yanzhi smiled helplessly, tightened his arms around her, and held her even closer in his embrace.
......
Days passed by one by one.
Since her relationship with He Yanzhi has warmed up, Guan Wenru's life has been getting better and better.
After the division commander learned about the fight between Wan Tao and Gu Siyu, he gathered the military families together.
He gave me a good talking-to.
For the next few days, the military families in the compound were eerily quiet.
Guan Wenru actually quite liked their quietness.
And her career finally blossomed.
The batch of cattle and sheep purchased by the logistics minister finally arrived a couple of days ago.
After two days of rest, Wang Dagui, Lu Guodong, and the others looked worried.
They had little experience to begin with, and now with so many cattle and sheep all of a sudden, taking care of them has been incredibly tiring for them.
Of course, the most important issue isn't the hard work, but how to keep them alive.
They told Minister Fang Xuechang about the problems they were facing.
Fang Xuechang then summoned Guan Wenru.
"Xiao Guan, we've expanded our cattle and sheep farming, which is a good thing and will improve the soldiers' meals. However... one by one, these newly purchased cattle and sheep are having problems. Can you manage to prepare the medicine all by yourself?"
He was actually afraid that the animals would die!
It cost a lot of money to buy these cattle and sheep.
Even though the money was sponsored by the Guan family, it's still money!
Guan Wenru had been waiting for this day for a long time. She showed no emotion on her face. "Minister, as the scale expands, the technology for taking care of these livestock must also keep up."
