"Huo Tingxiao!"
At night, Wen Xingyue's sweaty hair clung to her ears, her misty peach blossom eyes were filled with tears, and her delicate lips were red and swollen.
"Um……"
A deep, husky voice breathed in Wen Xingyue's ear as Huo Tingxiao pulled her close, his rough fingertips rubbing against her delicate skin, his rugged face beaming with satisfaction.
"Auntie...tomorrow...wedding banquet...I want to sleep."
Wen Xingyue was breathing heavily, her voice broken and intermittent. She tried to push him away, but couldn't.
"Go to sleep."
Huo Tingxiao agreed.
"Why are you still panting?" He looked down at the person in his arms, his breath coming in a smile.
"..." Wen Xingyue closed her eyes, not wanting to pay attention to him.
How could Huo Tingxiao have the nerve to say something like that?!
Who would be so kind as to not let someone sleep while they keep doing this?
This scoundrel is going back to his unit, and he's been clinging to her like glue. Wen Xingyue hasn't had a good night's sleep for days.
Since she started eating meat, Wen Xingyue has never gone to bed early.
I'm being dragged to exercise every night, and my back and legs are aching.
"Why aren't you saying anything..." Huo Tingxiao held her in his arms, squeezing her sore hands.
Wen Xingyue felt an itch in her hands.
"Stop messing with me."
Wen Xingyue reluctantly opened her eyes, glanced at him, her eyes filled with a hazy sleepiness, and the hand on his shoulder was limp.
"Go to sleep, stop making a fuss." He watched as she tried to fall asleep, but forced her eyes open.
Huo Tingxiao pecked her fair and rosy cheeks.
Upon hearing his words, Wen Xingyue closed her eyes and drifted into a deep sleep.
Huo Tingxiao held her and fell asleep contentedly.
...
"Sister-in-law, are you up?"
The next day, Wen Xingyue was still half asleep when she heard a noise coming from the living room.
"I'm up."
Wen Xingyue responded in a hoarse voice.
She moved her aching body and buried herself in the blankets.
Wen Xingyue stayed in bed for a while before finally getting up.
"Sister-in-law, get up."
When Wen Xingyue got up, Huo Tingjun had just come out of the kitchen with breakfast.
"Xiao Jun, when did you arrive?"
Wen Xingyue rubbed her messy hair, her face was rosy and flushed, and she was wearing cotton long-sleeved pajamas.
Upon seeing Huo Tingjun outside, his drowsy eyes slowly cleared.
"I just arrived. Sister-in-law, I brought you some of your favorite xiaolongbao from home. Come and eat them after you've tidied up."
Huo Tingjun carried the insulated food container to the dining table.
"Okay," Wen Xingyue replied and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Huo Tingjun hadn't been attending classes during this time, and Huo Tingxiao had already returned to his unit. Worried that something might happen to her if she was home alone, he gave Huo Tingjun a key to the house.
Tell him to come and keep Wen Xingyue company when he has nothing to do, and to do whatever needs to be done.
His older brother wasn't there; he was a little boy.
Huo Tingxiao would come back around noon. Usually, when he wasn't around, Wen Xingyue would either go back to the Wen family home for lunch or go back to the Huo family home for lunch, and then go to Li Tianbai to continue her studies.
The Huo and Wen families are not far from their new home; it's only a ten-minute walk to either side.
Moreover, the Lin family also bought houses around them.
The Lin family spent the New Year with Wen Xingyue and the others before returning to Shenzhen.
Lin's parents were going home to prepare for their move to the capital.
I'll go home as soon as possible to prepare, and also be able to come back to be with my daughter soon.
Now, Lin's parents are determined to make amends to their daughter.
"Sister-in-law, your brother told you to drink a glass of milk in the morning."
Huo Tingjun then took a glass of warm milk from the kitchen and handed it to Wen Xingyue, who had just come out of the bathroom.
Wen Xingyue habitually drinks water when she gets up in the morning.
"good."
Wen Xingyue took two steps forward and took the soup, drinking it slowly. She sat down at the dining table, where the hot steamed buns were placed on a white porcelain plate.
Since Huo Tingxiao was away, Huo Tingjun had been bringing her breakfast from the Huo family home during this period.
"Xiao Jun, have you eaten?"
Wen Xingyue looked at Huo Tingjun, who was sitting opposite her and staring at her eating.
"I ate it," Huo Tingjun nodded.
Seeing that he had eaten, Wen Xingyue focused on her meal.
“Sister-in-law, my brother said that after we have eaten, we should pack up and go to Grandma’s house. He will go there after he gets off work at noon.”
Huo Tingjun, ever restless, helped clean the house again. Wen Xingyue, on the other hand, was a complete idiot; if a broom fell over in front of her, she wouldn't pick it up, she would just step over it, and wonder why it had fallen over.
Huo Tingxiao did all the cleaning at home. Sometimes when he was too busy, Huo's mother, Wang Ma, or Aunt Liu would come to help with the cleaning.
Huo Tingxiao has returned to his unit; the sanitation worker will clean up when he gets back tonight.
Huo Tingjun would also come to help often.
"Okay, I'll change my clothes and then we'll go over." Wen Xingyue nodded in agreement.
Today is Fang Yihan and Zhao Jingping's wedding day. They should go there early so they can see if there's anything they can do to help.
"Sister-in-law, there's no rush."
Their families didn't expect them to do anything; they just needed to take care of themselves.
Despite saying all that, Wen Xingyue quickly tidied herself up and went out with Huo Tingjun.
"Sister-in-law, Xiaojun."
As the two went outside, Huo Tingxiao's bodyguard, Chen Jie, greeted them with a smile.
After Huo Tingxiao returned to the team, his previous position was regimental commander. He made a great contribution last year and was originally leading the team to the border for exercises and training.
However, they discovered something unusual about our border. Upon careful reconnaissance, they found that our DTs, who were lying in ambush on the border, were suspected of crossing the border and contacting the Japanese, attempting to blow up our border area. After discovering this, Huo Tingxiao immediately led a special squad of 15 people to carry out the operation.
Huo Tingxiao brought a small group of people because he wanted to conduct special training. He didn't expect to discover such a thing. He immediately contacted his superiors to report and led his men to intercept them. However, the enemy was numerous and powerful. The border leaders had already been bribed by the Japanese and did not provide them with immediate support. Instead, they surrounded them and carried out a siege.
With wolves in front and tigers behind, Huo Tingxiao was the only survivor of the elite squad he led in that operation.
Even though they were outnumbered, they couldn't withstand the relentless attacks. There was no support from the rear, no supplies, and they still had to dismantle the bombs that the Japanese had already loaded and unloaded.
Fifteen men rushed forward one after another, risking their lives to protect Huo Tingxiao, who was defusing the bomb.
In the end, all fifteen men sacrificed their lives, watching helplessly as their comrades fell one by one in front of them. Only Huo Tingxiao remained. He did his best to defuse the last bomb, but he was captured by the enemy and tortured for a day and a night before his superiors noticed something was wrong and sent people to rescue him.
After a day and a night of torture, Huo Tingxiao's legs were ruined, and he had countless large and small injuries all over his body, which made the rescuers tremble with fear.
*
He officially returned to the military and was promoted to the youngest deputy division commander in history.
Huo Tingxiao was assigned a bodyguard by his superiors, and Chen Jie volunteered for the assignment.
Huo Tingxiao was worried about Wen Xingyue, so he specially asked Xiao Chen to escort them.
