"I'm training a new batch of recruits soon, which requires closed training. I won't be able to come back for the next few days. I'll take you back to your parents' house tomorrow."
That evening, Huo Tingxiao came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and Wen Xingyue was sitting in front of the dressing table in the room applying perfume.
Her face cream was made for her by her sister; it made her face feel moisturized and soft, and it smelled wonderful.
"Then how many days will you be away?"
Wen Xingyue turned to look at him, a faint glint appearing in her eyes.
【Hiss, that's good news. Huo Tingxiao hasn't been back for several days, so I can finally get some rest. I haven't been getting enough sleep lately. Huo Tingxiao is like a starving wolf, he can't go to bed early at all.】
My lower back has been aching all day.
"..." Huo Tingxiao listened to her thoughts in silence. He hadn't been struggling for very long, had he?
If we go by her sleep schedule, she can sleep all day as long as there's nothing else to do.
"What are you thinking about? Come here, let me put some lotion on you."
Wen Xingyue waited a long time for him to speak, then spoke again, greeting him.
Huo Tingxiao has been back in the army for some time now. His fair and delicate face, which he had taken care of at home, has become rough after returning to the army and undergoing daily training. It's also the dead of winter, and the wind is biting cold, causing some parts of his face to peel.
Wen Xingyue felt sorry for him and took some face cream to apply to him.
At first, the man disagreed, saying that he was a grown man and didn't need to put on such fragrant face cream; it was fine if his face was a little rough.
Wen Xingyue rolled her eyes at him. He didn't want to apply it, and she didn't want to give it to him either. The face cream her sister made for her took a lot of time.
But seeing his peeling face, Wen Xingyue still pulled him to rub it, threatening that if he didn't rub it, he shouldn't even think about touching her face.
It rubbed against her skin and made it uncomfortable.
Huo Tingxiao then obediently listened to him.
He diligently applied fragrant lotion to Wen Xingyue every night.
"Thinking about whether to stay up all night tonight?" Huo Tingxiao walked up to her, squatted down, and looked up at her.
With his eyebrows slightly raised, the overhead light shone on his handsome, deep-set face, softening his cold, austere features.
"...Huo Tingxiao, have you no shame?"
Wen Xingyue was applying face cream to Huo Tingxiao's face when she heard him say this without changing his expression. She held back for a moment, but still couldn't help but despise him and rubbed the cream hard on his face with her hand.
During this period, the thing Wen Xingyue heard most often at night was, "Stay up all night."
What are you staying up all night for? It's just to keep her up.
Huo Tingxiao felt like his mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts and nothing of substance.
I was surprised to hear my uncles say today that Huo Tingxiao is a restrained and upright person who doesn't get close to women.
But I didn't see it at all.
"No." Huo Tingxiao shook his head seriously.
In front of the little peach blossom spirit, Huo Tingxiao felt he had already lost all face.
"You can apply it yourself."
Wen Xingyue glared at him. This man really didn't hide his bad intentions at all. She got up to leave.
"You apply it." Huo Tingxiao grabbed her wrist and brought his face close to hers.
"No, I won't apply it."
Wen Xingyue pushed his face away, speaking angrily.
"If you're not going to apply it, then we'll go to sleep."
Huo Tingxiao grabbed her legs and lifted her up upright.
"Wow!" Suddenly rising into the air, she was even taller than Huo Tingxiao. Wen Xingyue exclaimed in surprise and bent down to hug his neck.
"We can't see the road anymore." Huo Tingxiao's voice was a little muffled.
"..." Wen Xingyue scooted to the side.
I dare not move it too much, for fear of it falling.
"Huo Tingxiao, have you no shame? I'm going to report you to your boss for abusing your wife."
Placed on the bed, lying on the soft down comforter, enveloped in the scalding heat, Wen Xingyue pushed Huo Tingxiao with her hands on her chest, her beautiful, watery eyes glancing at the person in front of her.
"How have I mistreated you?"
Huo Tingxiao braced himself on his hands beside her, watching her solemnly warn him with great interest.
“I do all the housework, I wash the clothes, I cook the meals, I remove the fish bones, I peel the shells, I put the fish in my pockets when you're cold, and I bring you your coat. All these uncles and elders are watching over me…”
After Huo Tingxiao started working, Wen Xingyue was asked by this scoundrel to pick him up from get off work the next day several times.
I seem to recall encountering a few kind-looking uncles on several occasions.
"!" Wen Xingyue fell silent. Had she really made Huo Tingxiao do so many things?
[Am I really that bad to Huo Tingxiao? I feel a little guilty about it.]
Wen Xingyue was stunned, and a faint sense of guilt appeared on her face.
"I won't be back for several days from now, I'll miss you."
Huo Tingxiao's dark, deep eyes were fixed on her.
“…Then…” Wen Xingyue bit her lip, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.
The hand pressing against Huo Tingxiao's chest gradually softened its grip.
Wen Xingyue is actually the most susceptible to being coquettish. She is the kind of person who responds better to gentleness than force. As soon as someone speaks softly to her, her heart immediately softens.
His dark, inky eyes captured her reflection, and she felt completely overwhelmed by his presence. Wen Xingyue's heart melted.
"Everyone is wondering if there's something wrong with me..."
A smile appeared in Huo Tingxiao's dark eyes. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, his deep voice revealing a hint of grievance.
"Did someone bully you?" Wen Xingyue asked him with a worried expression, her brows furrowed.
[Who said Huo Tingxiao has a problem? Who bullied Huo Tingxiao? I'll stab them to death!]
Wen Xingyue is also fiercely protective of her own.
“No one bullied me, but…” Huo Tingxiao whispered a few words in her ear.
"Huo Tingxiao! Aren't you annoying?"
Wen Xingyue blushed slightly, looking shy.
