However, Mu Qiao had become much thinner, and her camouflage training uniform was loose and not as fitting as before. Her short hair, still wet, stuck to her face, making her face look smaller.
The eyes that should have been full of affection were dull and lifeless.
His majestic facial features are still as dashing and heroic as ever, but they lack the gentleness they should have.
Qiao Lubai looked at her without blinking, then suddenly bent over and put his head close to her neck, "Thank you!"
The breath that escaped from his mouth burned Mu Qiao's face.
Mu Qiao's hand paused for a moment, and he raised his eyes to look at the handsome face so close to him.
Such an extremely intimate gesture made Mu Qiao's heart skip a beat and he looked at him straight.
"I thought you would ignore me, but I didn't expect you to apply medicine for me." He looked at her, his scarlet eyes full of tenderness.
"I, I just think that if you ignore the wound on your body like this, what if it gets infected?" Mu Qiao stuttered. She didn't know why she helped him treat the wound.
...
...
"Are you concerned about me?" Qiao Lubai's eyes became even redder with excitement. He moved closer to Mu Qiao, and an extremely aggressive smell came from his body. The aroma of tobacco mixed with mint hit her nose.
What is he going to do? !
Mu Qiao retreated instinctively.
Qiao Lubai's attack missed, so he quickly sat down and calmly picked up the ointment to apply it on his wound.
"Let's date, just like a normal couple, and cultivate our relationship again."
While bandaging the wound, Qiao Lubai asked with a half-smile, but his expression was very serious.
Mu Qiao's voice was slightly hoarse, and it was unclear whether it was due to throbbing or shock. He spoke carelessly, "Aren't we getting married?"
Qiao Lubai raised his eyebrows and looked at her without any emotion.
"I'm afraid I can't get the feelings I had before back."
Mu Qiao was startled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Lubai paused for two seconds, and then stared at her seriously for a while.
"Although there is an antidote for the ablation virus, the feelings that were previously ablated may not be able to be recovered and need to be nurtured again."
Mu Qiao was silent for a moment, then turned around dejectedly, "Can we really still develop feelings for each other?"
"Yes!" Qiao Lubai's answer was absolute.
Really? Mu Qiao was a little unsure.
At this time, her stomach growled and she was hungry.
After hearing this, Qiao Lubai took out his cell phone and called the guard. Soon, a table full of delicious food was placed in front of Mu Qiao.
By the way, a bunch of gorgeous roses were presented to Mu Qiao. "I knew you liked flowers very much, so on the way back from the military, I bought a bouquet for you!"
Qiao Lubai bent his tall body 90 degrees in front of her, with an extremely gentlemanly posture and expectant eyes, hoping that she would accept the bouquet of flowers.
The rain outside the window gradually subsided, and Qiao Lubai clearly heard Mu Qiao's somewhat excited voice.
"Is this what you call dating?"
"This is just the beginning." Qiao Lubai nodded with a smile and looked down at her with eyes full of doting.
"Thank you!" Mu Qiao was a little flattered. She raised her hand to take the rose from his hand, her pretty face slightly blushing.
So this is what it feels like to be pursued!
She had lived for twenty-six years, but this was the first time she felt this.
Sending flowers was indeed just the beginning of Qiao Lubai's pursuit of Mu Qiao.
He had already planned to make Mu Qiao fall in love with him again.
All those bad beginnings in the past disappeared along with the antidote that melted the virus.
From now on, there will be only love between them that is consensual.
After dinner, Qiao Lubai placed two approved leave requests in front of Mu Qiao, "Starting tomorrow, the two of us will have three days off."
Mu Qiao was stunned and said bluntly, "You are the captain of the Snow Wolf now, how can you have time to rest? Three more days, you are crazy!"
Qiao Lubai emphasized, "It's just a temporary replacement, nothing special."
"Even if it's just a temporary replacement, I don't have time." Mu Qiao didn't want Qiao Lubai to forget his official duties because of personal ones.
"Don't worry, Meng Qiancheng, the acting deputy captain, will help you handle it." Qiao Lubai's words revealed a piece of information. It turned out that Meng Qiancheng was the acting deputy captain.
Mu Qiao recognized Meng Qiancheng's ability.
"What are you and I going to do during the three-day holiday?" Mu Qiao was very surprised.
"Secret." Qiao Lubai blinked at him with a meaningful smile on his face.
That night, Qiao Lubai took Mu Qiao out of the camp.
He did not return to the Qiao family, but went to the suburban estate - Meiyuan.
After marrying Mu Qiao, Qiao Lubai bought the plum garden and put it under Mu Qiao's name.
Mu Qiao didn't know about this.
Qiao Lubai wanted to give her a surprise.
The next morning, Mu Qiao was woken up by Qiao Lubai, "Coach Mu, get up for your morning run."
Mu Qiao lifted his thin eyelids and glanced over casually.
She had just woken up, her hair was a little messy, and the buttons on the collar of her pajamas had fallen off at some point, leaving the collar open, revealing a large area of fair skin.
Qiao Lubai, who was leaning against the side bedroom door, stared at the exposed white parts without any hesitation.
Very brave.
After a while, Mu Qiao felt his fiery gaze, and immediately pinched his collar and glared at the person at the door.
Qiao Lu had a deep smile on his handsome face. After being glared at by her, he turned around and closed the door of his bedroom.
Looking at the closed door, Mu Qiao let go of his hand and got up to wash.
Passing by the second-floor balcony, Mu Qiao was attracted by the scenery outside the window.
The birds are singing crisply, the wind blows through the lush plum trees, the tree shadows sway and make rustling sounds, and the small flowers under the trees are colorful and beautiful.
"Do you like it here?" Qiao Lubai's voice came from the entrance on the second floor.
Mu Qiao withdrew his gaze and looked in the direction of the voice. Qiao Lubai, wearing a white T-shirt and gray sweatpants, appeared from the corner of the entrance with a charming smile on his face.
Qiao Lubai had a charming and handsome face. With the morning sun shining on him, he looked even more heroic and charming like a prince from a fairy tale world. He had just come out of the bathroom, and a faint minty scent wafted from his body.
He is so eye-catching!
Mu Qiao stared at him blankly for a few seconds. What did this man want to do? To seduce her so early in the morning?
Qiao Lubai walked up to her, looked at her with a smile, and let her see it openly.
Meeting his smiling eyes, Mu Qiao looked away awkwardly, a hint of discomfort showing on his face, very faint, but keenly sensed.
Qiao Lubai was very tactful to break the atmosphere and pointed at the pajamas Mu Qiao was wearing. "Go out for a morning run and change your clothes. There are sportswear prepared in the closet in your room."
"Oh, okay!" The discomfort in Mu Qiao's heart instantly disappeared. He turned back to his room, changed his clothes, and went for a morning run in Merlin with Qiao Lubai.
For those who are used to being in the army, getting up every morning for training is essential. Qiao Lubai and Mu Qiao resonate with each other on this point.
Of course, during the holidays, they couldn’t increase the intensity of their training, so they could only replace it with morning jogging.
The two of them ran ten kilometers without getting red in the face or out of breath. Such physical strength is unparalleled. If it were an ordinary person, they would have fallen behind long ago.
After sweating all over, the two of them tacitly went back to their rooms to take a shower and change clothes.
Seeing the underwear that Qiao Lubai had prepared for her in the closet, Mu Qiao's face flushed...
