"who?!"
He lowered his voice and questioned sharply.
Under the moonlight, a small bulge slowly rose in the blankets.
Then, a fluffy little head poked out from under the blanket.
Her long, seaweed-like black hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her small, delicate face appear even whiter and more translucent.
Those eyes, still hazy from just waking up, looked at him with a watery gaze.
It's Su Tang!
How did she end up in his bed?!
Qin Ye's mind went blank, and he felt all the blood rushing to his head.
In all his years, he had carried out countless dangerous missions and faced countless vicious enemies, but never before had he felt so... helpless.
Su Tang blinked, looking at Qin Ye's as if he had seen a ghost.
That mischievous, playful side of me resurfaced.
The next second, her eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with a hint of grievance and a sob:
"Ah... Commander Qin... you... you saw everything..."
As she spoke, she deliberately shrank further under the covers, leaving only her head sticking out.
"You...you have to take responsibility for me..."
In fact, Su Tang was wearing the thick long-sleeved cotton undershirt and trousers that her grandmother had prepared for her before she left.
Except for his face and neck, the rest of his body was covered up completely, even more tightly than a rice dumpling.
But Qin Ye had no idea about any of this.
He could only see those misty eyes.
Hearing that earth-shattering statement: You must take responsibility.
The string of reason in his mind snapped completely.
Su Tang originally wanted to see Qin Ye get hit by her in this way.
Will I be teased and run away again, just like at dinner?
Unexpectedly, Qin Ye stood still, his tall figure appearing somewhat stiff in the moonlight.
He remained silent for a moment.
Her eyes darted around, unable to look at Su Tang's face, and finally she stared blankly out the window.
Su Tang could even hear the sound of his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and his breathing becoming noticeably heavier.
After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth, his voice dry and hoarse:
"I...I will take responsibility."
After saying that, he left the room without looking back, as if a tiger was chasing him.
"Bang!"
He slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Su Tang: "..."
Huh? That's it?
They just ran away?
Responsible? Responsible for what?
She blinked, feeling both amused and exasperated.
This guy is really... incredibly innocent.
Qin Ye rushed back to the regimental headquarters' dormitory area in one breath.
Zhao Meng was sprawled out on his single bed, snoring loudly.
Qin Ye walked over and shoved him without any politeness.
"Get up and move further inside."
Zhao Meng was sleeping like a log. Qin Ye nudged him, and he groggily opened his eyes, mumbling sleepily:
"Hey Lao Qin, didn't you go home to sleep? Why are you back again?"
"It would be really bad if word got out that two grown men like us sharing a bed..."
Qin Ye ignored his grumbling and lay down on the single bed.
He stared at the dark ceiling.
The image of Su Tang's tear-streaked face (as he thought) resurfaced in his mind.
The phrase "You have to take responsibility" lingered in his mind like a curse.
Qin Ye, a man of integrity and uprightness, a regimental commander in the People's Liberation Army, how could he allow a female comrade to suffer injustice?
Although... although he didn't seem to have done anything.
But she said he saw it.
If you see it, you have to take responsibility!
This is a matter of principle!
