Qin Xiao really had the urge to beat Gu Yanqi to death. Back then, he was also a troublemaker in the military compound. The worst time his father beat him was when he broke the stick.
He was only six or seven years old at the time and it was fun.
At that time, every household living in the compound used a urine pot to get up at night. In the middle of winter, people squatted on the kang, covered with quilts, brought the urine pot to the kang, and urinated under the quilt to avoid catching a cold.
The chief's family married a new daughter-in-law and used a new urine pot.
Qin Xiao brought a group of children and ground a hole in the bottom of the new urinal.
At night, when the bride got up to go to the bathroom, she sat on the urine pot to urinate. When she finished urinating and put the urine pot under the kang, the bedding on the kang was wet.
It was not until the next day that it was discovered that the urinal was leaking. The bride was drying her quilt and was laughed at. The bride was also very sensitive and almost hanged herself with a rope.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law found out.
The leader was furious. After a final investigation, it turned out that it was Qin Xiao who was the leader in doing the bad thing. It was not easy to blame a group of children. Although the leader did not say anything, the Qin family had to express their position and almost beat Qin Xiao to death.
Such a troublemaker, his temper has really calmed down a lot after being in the army for these years.
At this moment, he was so angry that smoke was about to come out of his head. Ji Xia saw that he was in a bad mood, so he used all his strength to pull him, "Brother Xiao, don't hurt him!"
As he spoke, Ji Xia winked at him, and Qin Xiao stopped.
The two of them started fighting and almost overturned the table. The meal was really exciting because of the chaos. Fortunately, Fang Jingzhou was also a worldly-wise man. This was how it was in the army. Everyone was hot-blooded and if it weren't for the strict discipline, there would probably be fights every day.
What's more, Gu Yanqi's actions are indeed not decent.
Qin Xiao withdrew his hand. Gu Yanqi lay on the ground like a dead dog. There was not a single piece of good skin on his body. Seeing Ji Xia looking down at him with a very calm look, he immediately became displeased and squinted at Ji Xia, "Ji Xia, you see clearly, this is the man you married. If he can hit me, he can hit you too!"
Qin Xiao kicked him angrily, and Gu Yanqi wailed again. Ji Xia was afraid that he would really beat him to death, so he hugged Qin Xiao with both hands to stop him.
"Commander, honestly, I've always believed the military is full of talented people. But after meeting Researcher Gu today, I'm really worried about his mental state. Is there really no talent left? Why choose a mentally retarded person as a researcher?"
Ji Xia added, "At the very least, you should choose someone with positive values, right?"
Qiu Suquan and Shao Hongwei both lowered their heads in shame.
Gu Yanqi continued righteously, "Ji Xia, I'm truly disappointed in you. A gentleman loves a beautiful lady, but does my liking you mean my values are distorted? What do you regard other people's feelings for you as?"
Qin Xiao went berserk again.
Ji Xia held him back and said, "Hubby, he's just an abnormal person. You don't need to bother with him."
Qin Xiao pointed at Gu Yanqi and angrily accused, "How dare he covet you!"
Fang Jingzhou also hurriedly advised, "Xiao Qin, calm down. He is indeed wrong. However, what Xiao Xia said is also correct. He is not in a good condition here right now. Please be more tolerant!"
Fang Jingzhou pointed to his head.
Qin Xiao hugged Ji Xia in his arms, turned her head, and whispered, "Don't look at him, I don't allow you to look at him!"
Ji Xia was speechless. She had never expected that Gu Yanqi, this pig, would actually irritate Qin Xiao so much. "Okay, okay, okay, I won't look at him. I don't want to look at him either. Let's go back!"
It was getting late. Ji Xia looked at the time and it was already eight o'clock in the evening. In later times, the nightlife had just begun, but at this time the military compound was already quiet.
Every household was pitch black. Occasionally, a few would light kerosene lamps, but the light was dim and weak, almost negligible.
Ji Xia was wearing snow boots and walking on the snow. The snow was very thick and it made a crackling sound when she stepped on it. Both of them had a hard time walking.
After taking a few steps, Qin Xiao grabbed Ji Xia. He looked a little aggrieved, but said nothing. He walked up to Ji Xia, squatted down, and bent his back.
When Ji Xia saw that he wanted to carry her on his back, a warm feeling surged in her heart. She lay on Qin Xiao's back obediently. Qin Xiao held her knees and walked forward step by step in silence.
"Are you still angry?" Ji Xia rested her chin on Qin Xiao's shoulder and spoke almost into his ear.
Without light, Ji Xia couldn't see that Qin Xiao's ears were red.
"Can you?" Qin Xiao asked.
"What?" Ji Xia was puzzled. What was this man talking about?
"If someone pursues you in the future, will you be tempted?" Qin Xiao's voice was dark and cold, with a strong sense of grievance that could not be ignored.
Ji Xia found it a little funny. It was the first time she saw that no matter how strong a man was, he would have a vulnerable side. She also didn't expect that Qin Xiao would show his softness and helplessness in front of her without any cover.
It’s like a ferocious cat suddenly reveals its soft belly in front of you, what would you think?
Naturally, I want to give it a try, and I will be very touched.
Ji Xia was no exception. "I'm not stupid. That person is abnormal. Why should I be moved?"
Besides, does that mean she has to be touched just because someone likes her? Ji Xia is not a soft-hearted person. Her experience and personality make it difficult for her to trust others, and it is also difficult for someone to enter her heart.
This is also the reason why Qin Xiao couldn't control himself today. Gu Yanqi's actions stimulated him and made him feel a strong sense of crisis.
Because he knew very well that Ji Xia did not love him, and he had never entered Ji Xia's heart.
She defended him and covered up for him in every way, but it was just her habit to protect the people she loved.
But Qin Xiao wants more.
He liked Ji Xia. From the first moment he saw her, this girl was deeply imprinted in his heart. Every bit of her was shaped by God according to his preferences. In his eyes, Ji Xia had no flaws at all, and he could not bear the pain of losing her.
"But what about the future? If there is someone better than me who likes you and pursues you, will you be moved?" Qin Xiao stopped, turned around and looked at her.
Ji Xia was stunned for a moment, her head resting on his shoulder, their breaths blending together, and the warm and wet feeling hit her face. Although they had done more intimate things, for the first time, Ji Xia's heart began to beat uncontrollably.
"Is there any man in this world better than you?" Ji Xia asked in confusion, not daring to imagine, if there was, what kind of stunning man would he be?
"What if there is?" Qin Xiao was not confused by her words, nor was he happy.
He stared into her eyes, insistently, wanting an answer.
"No!" Ji Xia shook her head. She raised her hand and stroked his face. "Qin Xiao, don't belittle yourself. I don't think there's anyone better than you in this world. Even if there is, even if that person pursues me, I won't be tempted."
"Why?" Qin Xiao couldn't explain what he felt.
Is it because you won't be moved by anyone?
He thought about it but didn't have the courage to ask.
