Chapter 72: Little Fun for Couples

Without waiting for Wen Ci to speak, Xue Li waved his hand and said proudly, "Doctor Yu, what do you want to eat? I'll make you one."

Yu Qing shook her head and declined: "No need."

As he spoke, Xue Li stood up from his chair, strode towards the window, and pointed generously at the pork stewed with vermicelli and sweet and sour spare ribs.

Sweet and sour spare ribs are a very popular Friday special.

Yu Qing whispered, "This soldier is so enthusiastic."

Wen Ci looked at Xue Li's back as he was getting food, and couldn't help but curl his eyes and said jokingly, "Xue Li is definitely very enthusiastic, but he is still single."

She said this with no other meaning.

After a while, Xue Li came over with a hearty meal. The lady serving food at the cafeteria window thought the soldiers were eating by themselves, so she served too much food, a full half pound.

Yu Qing was slightly stunned. Did he think she was some big eater? !

"You..." Yu Qing looked at Xue Li hesitantly, and seeing his fiery look, she endured it, with a faint smile on her lips: "Thank you, I will give you the money tomorrow."

"Need not."

Wen Ci saw the food on the plate and resisted the urge to hold his forehead. He shook his head repeatedly. Xue Li looked quite smart.

How can you act like a stupid young man?

Wen Ci sighed lightly and slurped up the vermicelli. If she delayed any longer, the pork and vermicelli would get cold. Adding sauerkraut to the vermicelli made the taste even better.

"Wow, it's been a long time since I've eaten Northeastern cuisine. This tastes so authentic."

"I miss home too."

Zhu Jing is originally from Northeast China, and her Northeastern cuisine is of even higher standard, which made the soldiers shed tears of homesickness after eating it.

Xue Li smiled and said, "Doctor, how about you try it too?"

“It tastes really good!”

-

Nightfall.

Wen Ci was just about to lie down to sleep when he heard a rustling sound. He narrowed his eyes slightly, walked straight into the living room and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

It was nearly one in the morning.

She couldn't sleep so she read a philosophy book in Huo Jingyuan's study and before she knew it she had reached this point.

Wen Ci hid behind the door of the inner room in the dark. Listening to the chaotic footsteps, she couldn't help but frowned. Soon, the door of the inner room was pushed open.

Wen Ci was about to kick towards the door, but when she saw Huo Jingyuan clearly, she pulled her foot back in time. With all her strength, it was no problem for her to break his ribs.

Wen Ci heaved a sigh of relief, then reached out and hugged Huo Jingyuan. The man's body was cold, and he could feel the stubble on his chin.

Do men grow beards so fast?!

"Didn't you say you wouldn't come back?"

"I said I might not come back."

Wen Ci keenly caught the fatigue in Huo Jingyuan's eyes, and said with distressed eyes: "Even if the mission is completed, you don't have to rush back to accompany me."

"Um."

She didn't blame Huo Jingyuan, she just wanted him to think more about himself. He hadn't rested for at least 36 hours at this moment.

The cold wind outside rushed into the room. Wen Ci reached out to close the door. The man's body gradually warmed up, and his rough big hands reached into his waist.

"Did you miss me?"

"No." Wen Ci opened the man's hand, reached out and pinched his ear, gently pulled it, and said, "What are you doing? Aren't you sleepy?"

"I won't be sleepy once I get home." A smile appeared on Huo Jingyuan's face. Even though Wen Ci pinched his ear, he felt a little sweet in his heart.

As the old saying goes, beating is love and scolding is care.

He and Wen Ci were in an arranged marriage, and occasionally saying some dirty talk was a normal little pleasure between husband and wife, but he had never experienced such an intimate "fight".
