Chapter 124
Mu Qingxuan's cheeks instantly turned red and her heartbeat almost burst out of her chest.
In fact, she was no longer angry when she realized that Huo Changfeng was upset because he was jealous.
"Well...I forgive you."
She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into his burning gaze.
A doting smile appeared on Huo Changfeng's lips.
He slowly stood up and gently held her in his arms.
Huo Changfeng's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and his voice trembled slightly: "Xuanxuan, I want to give you another gift."
Mu Qingxuan's eyes lit up instantly, staring at him curiously like a little deer, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise: "What gift? So mysterious!"
She stood on tiptoe, trying to guess the answer from his expression.
The faint scent of Chinese herbal medicine mixed with the fragrance of flowers in their hair lingered around the two of them.
Huo Changfeng took a deep breath and slowly took out an envelope from his pocket.
The corners of the envelope were slightly curled due to being rubbed, and it was obvious that he had taken it out and read it many times.
His ears were red as if they were about to bleed. He handed the envelope over solemnly, speaking in a low voice as if he was afraid of disturbing something: "Look for yourself."
Mu Qingxuan glanced at him suspiciously, and the moment her fingertips touched the envelope, she felt a slight warmth.
She carefully opened the tightly sealed envelope, and the moment she pulled out the letter, a faint scent of ink wafted to her face.
After reading just two lines, her eyelashes trembled violently and her fingertips tightened unconsciously.
"This is……"
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Huo Changfeng in astonishment.
What he sent over was actually a love letter!
The sunlight shone on the man's angular face, which was now tinged with a layer of blush, and even his neck was faintly pink.
He pursed his lips, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, his eyes full of nervousness and anticipation: "You finish reading first."
Mu Qingxuan lowered her head again and her eyes fell on the letter.
The black ink shone in the sunlight, and the vigorous and powerful calligraphy was like a flying dragon and a flying phoenix, with every stroke penetrating through the paper.
She had never thought that Huo Changfeng, who usually only used a fountain pen, could write such beautiful calligraphy.
As Mu Qingxuan continued to read, those subtle yet passionate words were like warm hands gently caressing her heart.
When the last line of words jumped into her eyes, her eyes suddenly became hot.
A crystal teardrop slid down and dripped onto the letter paper, leaving a small ink mark.
She recalled the first day she returned to the village, when she sat around the dinner table with her grandmother and looked at the love letter left by her grandfather. She said casually, "I really envy my grandmother. I have never received a love letter before."
Unexpectedly, Huo Changfeng had always kept in mind the unintentional words he said at that time.
"You were acting so mysterious these past two days. Were you looking for this sea of flowers and writing a love letter?"
She choked and her voice trembled.
Huo Changfeng nodded gently, reaching out to wipe away the tears on her face, his voice full of guilt: "I'm sorry for ignoring you because of this..."
Before he could finish his words, Mu Qingxuan suddenly stood on tiptoe, put her arms around his neck, and threw herself into his arms.
The tear-stained lips pressed accurately against his, hot and eager.
Huo Changfeng was stunned at first, then he hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to melt all his longing and apology for these days into this kiss with salty tears.
After a long time, the two slowly separated.
Mu Qingxuan's cheeks were flushed with an adorable blush, and there were still traces of tears at the corners of her eyes, sparkling in the sunlight.
Huo Changfeng's eyes were fixed on her face, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
He took off his coat neatly.
The dark grey fabric fell onto the soft grass, staining a few pink wild rose petals, but he didn't care.
Instead, he carefully smoothed out the wrinkles and reached out to help Mu Qingxuan sit on the clothes.
The man's palm was dry and warm, and the warmth coming through his thin sleeves made Mu Qingxuan's heart beat more irregularly.
There were countless wild flowers all around, pink daisies, purple verbena, golden dandelions, layer upon layer, wrapping the two of them.
A breeze blew by, waves appeared in the sea of flowers, and the faint fragrance of flowers and the scent of green grass blew towards you.
Mu Qingxuan took a deep breath, and the depression that had been pent up in her chest for days completely dissipated with this breath of air that smelled of sunshine.
She looked up at the sky, and a few wisps of clouds were dyed orange by the setting sun.
I don’t know if it was her illusion.
I just feel that even the sky here is more beautiful than before.
Huo Changfeng turned his head and focused his eyes on her profile.
Looking at her relaxed brows and slightly upturned mouth corners, my throat suddenly tightened.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke: "Xuanxuan, there is one more thing."
"Is there a third surprise today?"
Mu Qingxuan turned her head with sparkling eyes, and the dandelion fluff on the ends of her hair trembled slightly.
Huo Changfeng was amused by her. He reached out and gently brushed away the grass leaves in her hair, and his fingertips accidentally brushed her hot earlobe.
"I don't know if this is a surprise, but I want to share a story with you."
He paused, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice unconsciously became softer.
Mu Qingxuan rested her chin on her knees and tilted her head to look at him.
"You speak, and I'm all ears."
She couldn't help but move closer to him, her shoulder gently pressing against his arm.
Huo Changfeng's fingers unconsciously stroked the petals of a wild flower on the ground.
He looked at the blue sky above his head, his Adam's apple rolled twice before he spoke: "I started working at the research institute after graduating from university."
"But even before that, during every summer and winter break, my father would send me to the army for training. He said that I was a descendant of the Huo family, and even if I didn't join the army in the future, I couldn't be a helpless chicken."
Mu Qingxuan turned sideways and her knee accidentally touched his leg.
She held her chin and looked at Huo Changfeng's eyelashes, which were stretched by the setting sun and cast fan-shaped shadows under his eyes. She couldn't help laughing out loud: "This really seems like something Dad would do."
"No wonder you always run in the morning. It turns out it's a habit you developed long ago."
It is precisely because of this that Huo Changfeng maintains a very good figure, which does not look like the figure of a person who needs to spend every day in the research institute doing experiments.
Huo Changfeng chuckled, his voice carrying a hint of self-mockery: "Although I can only join the army during the winter and summer vacations, once I'm in, there's nothing special about it. I receive the most rigorous training just like the most ordinary soldiers."
Mu Qingxuan leaned closer to Huo Changfeng and asked softly, "And then?"
"Eight years ago, during the summer vacation when I first entered college, I participated in a training session."
Huo Changfeng's voice suddenly became low: "The training site is 300 kilometers away from the capital, and the training items are very strict. It is said that in the entire military region, no more than ten soldiers can hold on to the end."
Mu Qingxuan frowned suddenly, a little worried.
But when recalling Huo Changfeng's body, there were no obvious scars on the surface.
So, she looked at Huo Changfeng with a smile and said with confidence: "You should have completed that training easily."
Huo Changfeng shook his head and said, "No, I almost died there."
