193 Provoke
"Xie Qi, I can help you in other ways."
Realizing his intention, Xu Qinghe tightly grasped the man's clothes on his chest, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she slowly closed her eyes, as if tacitly agreeing.
There was a very light kiss on the lips, just like a dragonfly touching the water, and it left immediately.
But not even half a breath had passed since she left, and he came up again and sucked her hard.
Xu Qinghe's waist immediately softened, and she leaned in his arms, breathing softly.
Xie Qi hugged the person, closed his eyes, and deliberately prevented himself from thinking about the soft touch just now.
After a moment, he spoke, his voice hoarse.
"In a few days, I will go on a long journey."
Xu Qinghe's heart tightened, and he immediately looked up at him: "Didn't Nan Yi surrender? Why are you leaving again?"
The next moment, a big warm hand came down and covered her eyes.
She blinked in the man's palm, and her eyelashes were like small brushes, sweeping across Xie Qi's heart again and again.
Xie Qi let out a long sigh, seeming helpless and regretful.
After a moment, the soft touch on the lips came again.
This time, they really separated immediately. He didn't dare to stay and immediately covered the person's eyes and pressed him in his arms.
"It's just to redeploy border defenses. I need to go to Yingzhou and Lanzhou. It might take a month at the shortest, or more... Anyway, I'll be back soon. There's no danger this time, so don't worry, okay?"
Xu Qinghe was about to agree when he heard him laugh again: "Oh, no, judging from what happened before, you shouldn't be the one worrying about me, I should be the one worrying about you. Xu Qinghe, when I come back, if you haven't recovered from your injuries, or if you make yourself worse, I..."
"How do you want to be?"
Xu Qinghe challenged.
Xie Qi snorted angrily, "I will take my daughter back to the Xie Mansion. Even if you invite us, we won't go back."
Xu Qinghe reached out and twisted his waist.
"That's my daughter, why did you take her away?"
Xie Qi grabbed her rebellious hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, raising his eyebrows and chuckling: "But she is also my daughter."
Xu Qinghe snorted, "Then ask your daughter if she's willing to go with you."
**
In the octagonal pavilion beside the lotus pond, their daughter knew nothing about their reconciliation and quarrel.
Lin Xiao returned home today to report the affairs of Lanzhou to the princess, but he saw the young lady sitting alone in the pavilion from afar.
He seemed to be lost in thought, even a little lonely.
She came over, squatted down beside the little girl, and asked her softly, "Why are you staying here alone, little miss? Why do you seem unhappy?"
Ping An sighed softly like a troubled adult.
"Dad and Mom had a fight. Ping An hasn't seen Dad and Mom laughing and joking together for a long time."
quarrel?
The Marquis and the Princess?
The Marquis actually quarreled with the princess?
This is truly unheard of.
However, Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly turned, and he smiled and said, "I have a plan that can make the Marquis bow his head and reconcile the two of them."
Hearing this, Ping'an's eyes immediately lit up.
"Really? Tell me about it."
But Lin Xiao stretched out a finger and shook it, then spread out his palm.
"Young lady, you can only do things for others if you are paid. Since you are young, I will take two taels of silver... no, two taels of gold. Just two taels of gold, and I will help you accomplish this."
Please, young lady from the princess's mansion, isn't it like a piece of cake for you to take out two taels of gold?
Ping'an's eyes turned and he shook his head helplessly: "But Ping'an doesn't have that much money. Mother only gives Ping'an...one ounce of silver every month."
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and thought, one or two ounces is fine, it’s better than nothing.
"Okay then. Just one or two taels of silver. Miss, pay me and I'll do the job for you."
However, Ping An still shook his head.
"I've seen my mother do business with others. I can only pay half the money as a deposit. I can only give you the full amount after the deal is done."
Lin Xiao laughed, but he was gritting his teeth.
The princess and the marquis's daughter are indeed not easy to fool!
"Never mind, half is half, half is fine."
After a pause, Ping An said slowly, "But mother hasn't given me this month's money yet. How about I write you a written agreement and we sign it as proof of the debt. You can do the work for me first, and when mother gives me the money, I'll give it to you."
Lin Xiao couldn't bear it any longer as his profits were being squeezed, so he had to agree.
However, when she wrote her name downwards and put her handprint upwards, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
If the young lady hadn't given her the money, could she still go to the princess with the receipt to reason with her?
This...isn't this just getting something for nothing?
**
On the ninth day of October, the weather was getting colder and Xie Qi was about to set off.
The night before leaving, Xu Qinghe tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked him to take off his clothes.
Xie Qi was stunned, and looked her up and down with a meaningful look, gradually frowning.
"Your injury hasn't healed yet. This...isn't good, is it?"
“…”
"What are you thinking about!"
Xu Qinghe blushed and immediately threw a pillow over.
"I just want to see the injuries on your body!"
I was originally going to watch it that night, but this guy got away with it by making jokes.
Xie Qi took the pillow with a smile, but he actually felt a sense of loss for no reason.
But even if he was disappointed and the girl was still hurt, he really couldn't do such a stupid thing.
"Haven't you seen all the injuries on my body before? They're just ugly scars. What's so good about them? Why are they worth seeing again?"
His gaze was too intense, and seemed to be inquiring.
Xu Qinghe couldn't help but turn away.
"Not the previous one. I want to see your injuries this time."
Only then did Xie Qi remember the misunderstanding during the quarrel that night.
He couldn't help but smile. "There's nothing much to see. It's no different from before. I'm not upset about it, really."
The girl in front of him stared at him stubbornly, not saying a word.
“…”
Xie Qi laughed and had to take off his clothes.
The man's body with well-defined muscles was immediately exposed before his eyes.
This man has had the physique of a military commander since childhood, and after so many years of experience on the border, his shoulders and chest are broader than they were five years ago, revealing a silent sense of stability.
Below the chest is the waist and abdomen with clear barriers. However, both the shoulders, chest, waist and abdomen are covered with various scars, like a dense net that binds the person, making it quite difficult to breathe.
His waist was narrow, but very strong, and he used to...
Xu Qinghe stopped thinking in time, lowered his eyes and asked him to turn around.
Xie Qi looked at the girl's ears which were gradually getting hot, raised his eyebrows, and turned around as he was told.
On his broad shoulders and back, in addition to the old scars that were scattered everywhere, there were two new scars, one running from the left shoulder across the back, and the other across the waist.
The scar was ugly, like a ferocious centipede.
This was left behind from his two trips back and forth to the fire scene.
"Aren't you...afraid of fire?"
Xie Qi had his back to her, but he pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
Now the voice sounds as steady as usual, so there must be no tears.
He deliberately smiled and said, "That was in the past. I'm not afraid anymore now, really. Ever since I saved my daughter last time, hiss..."
Soft and warm lips suddenly touched his shoulders.
Xu Qinghe climbed onto his strong arms, where the desire that was about to burst out was jumping and pulsating.
She lowered her head and kissed each inch of the scars that were about to scab over.
Xie Qi's eyes were filled with lust and he immediately tensed his body.
He closed his eyes tightly, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth.
Veins popped out on the back of his hand, and after a moment, his forehead was also not spared.
He prayed in his heart that the girl would finish quickly, but at the same time he longed for it to last longer, to be heavier, that warm and soft touch, if only it could wrap around him...
He didn't dare to think anymore, and suddenly opened his eyes. He turned around, pinched the girl's waist, and held her in his arms while sitting.
He breathed heavily, lowered his head, and met the girl's clear gaze.
How strange! It's clearly winter, but the girl's eyes seem to be filled with spring water, which makes people's hearts surge and it's hard to calm down.
Xie Qi lowered his head and kissed her eyes.
Then came the center of the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, the cheeks, the jaw, the delicate ears, and the lips that he had longed for.
But he could only touch it and then leave, he didn't even dare to suck it gently.
Finally, he buried his head in the crook of her neck, breathing heavily and praying softly.
"Ancestor, please don't recruit me."
"You can't do anything in your current state, and I'll be the only one who suffers in the end."
Xu Qinghe raised her hand and gently stroked the back of his head, but then she extended her pink tongue and touched his ear, which was already red.
Xie Qi shuddered all over and quickly stood up from her neck, meeting her cunning gaze.
Her rosy lips parted slightly, and her voice was unnaturally soft.
"Xie Qi, I can help you in other ways."
Xie Qi's throat rolled slightly. He pinched her soft palm and looked at her warm red lips.
“…”
For a moment, he actually had the idea.
The last time we had sex was in early July, and it has been three months since then.
He missed her both physically and mentally.
But when he thought of the scar on her chest that was just beginning to heal, all of Xie Qi's stupid thoughts were rejected.
He stuffed the girl back into the quilt, leaving only her pretty head exposed.
Leaning over to brush away the messy hair from her forehead, Xie Qi complained with gritted teeth: "You only know how to bully me."
Knowing that he wouldn't do that, I still wanted to provoke him.
Xu Qinghe smiled unabashedly, the smile almost spreading from the corners of his eyes.
Xie Qi wrapped her up and rested for a while. When he couldn't rest any longer, he simply got out of bed.
Xu Qinghe glanced under his underwear, then immediately turned his face away and smiled to the inside.
However, the night was so quiet that she could hear the rustling sounds in the bathroom.
And the man's heavy breathing.
Low, slightly hoarse, like joy, but also like regret.
She looked at the dim bed curtains, her smile gradually faded, her throat became drier and a little itchy.
I don't know how long it took before a satisfied sigh was heard from there.
Then there was the sound of rushing water.
Xu Qinghe pulled up the quilt, covering most of his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.
A moment later, Xie Qi walked in slowly, his hair was wet, his face was flushed, and he even changed his underwear.
Xu Qinghe just glanced at him and turned away.
Her voice was covered by the quilt, deep and muffled.
"You...you go light some incense."
Suppress the smell in this room.
Xie Qi sighed and did as he was told. After a long time, he lifted the tent and came in again.
This time, he refused to share a blanket with her no matter what.
"It's clearly you who caused the trouble, why am I always the one who's busy?"
Xu Qinghe turned her back to him and started to say something sarcastic: "Who told you not to be able to control yourself?"
Xie Qi laughed: "If you were a man, you wouldn't be able to control yourself. Tsk, didn't I tell you not to lie like this? It's not good for the wound."
Xu Qinghe turned over as he was told, staring at the ceiling of the tent, trying hard to forget everything that had just happened.
Later, I actually forgot about it, and my body, which had been like a ball of fire, became cold.
She shrank her feet and instructed the person beside her: "Come here and sleep with me."
Xie Qi moved even further away, almost to the bedside.
"I don't want it. If you try to recruit me again, I won't be fooled."
Humph, if you don’t want to come, then don’t come. She doesn’t care.
Xu Qinghe also moved towards the wall, leaving space for three people between the two of them.
She fell asleep in a daze, but in the second half of the night, her cold feet followed the heat source and slipped into the trouser legs of someone else.
The quilt was lifted up and she was held in the man's arms. She heard a sigh above her head again.
"You are really, why don't you even say a soft word to me."
Xu Qinghe smiled in his heart, his consciousness was confused, but his arms seemed to have their own ideas, and he skillfully hugged the waist of the person being hit.
The two of them were pressed very close together, sharing warmth in this cold night.
