He Yanzhi leaned down slightly, his chin almost touching the top of her fragrant hair, and said in a very serious tone, "We soldiers protect our country and guard the border with our guns. This is our responsibility and our mission."
But what you're doing now—opening a restaurant to solve your food and drink needs, opening a clothing store to solve your clothing needs, and even trying to find ways to help returning educated youth find work and make a living…
You are genuinely addressing the most pressing needs of the majority of people—basic necessities like food and clothing. This is fundamental, a truly significant undertaking. Wenru, you are remarkable.
Guan Wenru felt a little embarrassed by his praise, but secretly pleased. She gave him a reproachful look.
"Don't flatter me. I'm just going with the flow and doing some small business that I can manage."
As she spoke, she tried again to unscrew the cap of the face cream.
However, He Yanzhi's arm wrapped around her from behind, and his warm palm covered her hand holding the face cream, stopping her movement.
He lowered his head, his burning lips, with an irresistible tenderness, gently touching her sensitive earlobe and slender neck.
Guan Wenru felt a ticklish sensation from his kisses and couldn't help but laugh, shrinking her neck and turning her head away. "Oh, stop it... I'll put on some face cream first, then go to sleep quickly. I have to get up early to go to the shop tomorrow..."
He Yanzhi, however, was relentless. He tightened his arms, pulling her even closer into his embrace, burying his face in the crook of her neck, and taking a deep breath of her reassuring scent.
When he looked up again, the emotions in his eyes were so intense they seemed impossible to conceal; his gaze was burning, carrying a hint of barely perceptible grievance, and his voice was a little hoarse:
"Wenru, you've neglected me for quite a while... You've been so preoccupied with Hongqi and the shop. Now that everything's settled, shouldn't you... shift some of your attention to your husband, me?"
As he spoke, his delicate yet burning kisses did not cease, slowly tracing the graceful lines of her shoulders and neck, carrying obvious desire and hints.
Guan Wenru's heart softened at the rare hint of grievance in his words and his tender advances. A warm current seemed to flow through her body, stirring her emotions as well.
She stopped her pointless dodging, turned slightly to the side, raised her hand to cup her husband's cheek, her eyes glistening with tears, filled with indulgence and the same longing, and took the initiative to tilt her head up and kiss his lips.
This kiss was like a switch.
He Yanzhi let out a low sigh, then immediately took the initiative, returning her kiss deeply, their breaths mingling, tender and affectionate.
In a short while, he picked her up from the stool and carried her to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). With gentle yet firm movements, he placed her on the kang, which was covered with clean bedding.
The lamp was turned off, leaving only the faint, cool moonlight from outside the window, outlining the intertwined figures on the bed.
He pressed down on her and kissed her again, this time the kiss was deeper and more urgent than before, filled with longing and a strong possessiveness, conquering her little by little, invading her breath and senses.
Guan Wenru softened beneath him, her arms encircling his strong neck as she responded passionately.
His clothes had been removed at some point, and the cool air touched his skin before being covered by his burning body temperature.
Soft moans and heavy panting mingled in the quiet night, inseparable...
All weariness and worries vanished in this moment, enveloped in each other's warm embrace and close bond.
