Extra 1

Lin Qiao discovered that Ji Duo was secretly doing maintenance earlier than she thought.

The main reason is that I have been using too much facial cleanser recently. On the other hand, the soap has slowed down my weight loss process and even has a tendency to stagnate.

Especially since the two of them decided to start preparing for pregnancy, the man also came to live in National Tsing Hua University.

Yes, Ji Duo doesn't mind the trouble now. Except for Sundays, he will come to live here at National Tsing Hua University as long as there is not much work in the army.

It takes more than an hour to drive here every day, and another hour to drive back early the next morning. We also rented a house nearby for the driver Xiao Fang.

Sometimes he didn't come, but he would call to let her know. After Lin Qiao finished her work at school, she could always see the light that was turned on for her in the quiet night, and the handsome and tall figure of the man under the light. Now that she was no longer with the army, this man had started to accompany her to study.

Whenever Captain Ji came to study with me, the amount of facial cleanser at home became less and less.

After a while, even her skin care products started to decrease, so much so that you might not notice if you weren't paying attention.

Lin Qiao thought about it and realized that this man seemed to have not washed with her recently.

It was okay in the morning, as he left early. Most of the time he would come back after buying breakfast to wake her up, and then get in the car and leave. But how could he always be later than her in the evening?

So one night after paying her rations, Lin Qiao forced herself to keep her eyes open and stayed awake. When the man came back from washing up, she raised her hand and touched his face.

Not to mention that it feels pretty good, Ji Duo has a very three-dimensional bone structure, with high eyebrows, a straight nose, clear yet smooth contours, and his skin is not as rough as imagined.

Just with this touch, he actually felt a familiar moist feeling. Lin Qiao couldn't help but put his face close to it to smell it.

Before I could smell anything, I was kissed on the lips. "Not enough?"

This kiss seemed as if Lin Qiao wanted to move over and kiss him.

Look at Lin Qiao's actions again. He had to touch the other person's face for no reason. Because it just ended, his hands were still soft and without much strength. It seemed more like flirting than confirmation.

In order to smell the scent, she even slid her hand to the man's neck, just hooking it loosely, with her fingertips touching the man's distinct Adam's apple.

So when the man spoke, she could clearly feel the vibration in her hands and the sexy roll when his jaw slightly raised.

Ji Duo knew how to tease her. His hot breath soon fell again, lingering all the way to her sensitive earlobe. His voice was hoarse, "Can you still do it?"

Okay, why not?

As a woman, you can't say you can't do it!

So Lin Qiao had another satisfying meal of hot pot meat. This time she fell asleep before the man finished cleaning her.

When she woke up the next morning, the man had left. When Lin Qiao went to wash up, she saw the facial cleanser and then she remembered what she wanted to do last night.

He sensed that she was suspicious, and that offense was the best defense?

She even blamed him for not giving enough. Mr. Gu was right, the old man was full of bad intentions.

Lin Qiao said nothing, and a few days later, when Ji Duo picked up her face cream to use it again, he found that the contents had been changed.

It’s not that I changed to something else, the paste is still the same paste, but the smell suddenly became very fragrant.

Lin Qiao loves skin care products with light fragrance. She used to use a light scent. After applying it evenly, you can’t smell it unless you get close to it.

So does he use it or not?

Ji Duo thought that he would go to the army with a fragrant smell, and everyone who saw him would turn around to look at him, so in the end he let him go quietly.

That night, the two resumed washing together.

The man rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows and undid two buttons on his collar, revealing his distinct collarbone, and just like that he picked up Lin Qiao's facial cleanser.

Lin Qiao smiled and watched him squeeze, beat and clean skillfully in one go without saying a word.

The man wiped his face with a towel and looked at her calmly without saying a word.

The couple looked at each other, and everything was understood without words. Within a few days, Lin Qiao changed her facial cream back to her previous light type.

When winter came, in addition to Lin Qiao's photo, there was also a bottle of unscented hand cream in Ji Duo's office drawer.

Looking back to the time when Lin Qiao had just made liquid soap and asked him to take some to work, he said he didn’t need it.

But looking back at that time, he could not have imagined that in the future there would be someone who would shoulder the same responsibility as the country.

Ji Duo closed his drawer, put on his training uniform, military boots and helmet, and strode out of the office. In front of others, he was still the cold and solemn Commander Yan Wang.

Ji Duo discovered his ability to accurately enter the soul later than he thought.

There are many things to deal with when changing from a regiment to taking over a brigade, not to mention that he is being transferred across branches of the military.

If he had not known enough and had not had a solid foundation, he would have been timid in front of the regiment commanders and battalion commanders who were even older than him.

The newly assigned orderly, Xiao Sui, was not smart enough. Once, when he asked him to pour water, he didn't respond for a long time.

He was about to frown, but forced himself to relax his frown halfway, remembering that what he had just said seemed to be: "Qiao Qiao, pour me a glass of water."

Lin Qiao could ask him who Xiao Cui was, but Xiao Sui obviously didn't dare to ask him who Qiao Qiao was. But at least he poured out the water first, right?

Ji Duo could only call out to the other person again, but finally replaced the person.

As for Lin Qiao, even though the project was successfully completed, it doesn’t mean that she has nothing to do.

Regarding studying abroad, she thanked Zhang Changning, but ultimately declined the offer and chose to pursue a doctorate at her own school.

Zhang Changning didn't say anything else, only saying that he would fully support her in developing her own research topic during her doctoral studies.

This is exactly what Lin Qiao wanted. Only if he started a project and produced some results, would the country pay attention to it and allocate funds to support this research.

After all, in her previous life, in the mid-1980s, the country also wanted to take the path of introduction and development, but all ended in failure and nothing came of it. It was not until 2000 that it received strong support. It was not until a few years before her time travel that the industrialization of high-performance carbon fiber at the thousand-ton level was finally achieved.

The couple were both busy, and the first family planning check revealed that Lin Qiao had not had her period, but Ji Duo didn't think much about it.

After all, he had just started to quit smoking, and Xiao Yusan had just quit a night sport.

Lin Qiao didn't even notice that no one had asked her this question for several years since she changed from a teacher to a student again.

So until the next month, when Lin Qiao still hadn't come when she was supposed to, Ji Duo woke up in the morning and tore up the calendar cards, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

The couple has been together for two months, which is definitely abnormal considering Lin Qiao's behavior in the past two years.

However, fearing that they had made a mistake, the two went to the hospital to do an ultrasound first.

This was what happened in Yandu in 1983. If it was a little off, they would have to ask a Chinese doctor to feel the pulse to confirm it.

When she came out of the hospital, Lin Qiao touched her belly and couldn't believe that she was going to be a mother.

Ji Duo was walking behind her, and he looked normal, except that when he got into the car, his military cap accidentally hit the roof of the car.

Lin Qiao just sat down when he saw this scene and couldn't help laughing.

Ji Duo's face froze, and he straightened his military cap before sitting down next to her and reaching out to touch her head.

He wanted to touch her belly, but his hand stayed in front of her for a long time without falling.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, his big hand was caught by a soft small hand, which pressed against the still flat place through the thick coat of early winter.

In fact, he didn't feel anything, but at that moment, he still felt as if his heart was hit by something.

It is a new life, a little life that connects his blood with Lin Qiao.

But when it comes to driving, the two hit it off and have already been cruising on the highway. But when it comes to being parents, they are still at the stage of mental preparation.

The couple stood shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, looking at each other.

"Why don't you ask our mom?"

"I'll ask my mom."

Very good, when it was time to work in sync, the two of them came to an agreement without having to discuss it.

As a result, the couple looked more calm than each other. Xu Li listened on the phone and asked twice, "Is Qiao Qiao really pregnant?"

That day, the old lady went to Lin Qiao's courtyard near Tsinghua University, followed by the serious and dignified old man Ji.

More than three years later, Xu Li's acquaintance in the Family Planning Office had retired. Since Lin Qiao started her graduate studies, Ji Duo was determined and she never mentioned the matter of having a child in front of them again.

But she only has Ji Duo as her son, and he is already in his thirties. How can she not be anxious?

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and Lin Qiao turned out to be pregnant.

Xu Li calculated the time and said, "The expected date of delivery should be during your summer vacation next year, when you will have completed your graduate studies."

This child really seemed to have come at the right time, knowing when she would have holidays, when school would start, and when it would be convenient for her to give birth to this little baby.

The old lady's eyes narrowed with smiles, she held Lin Qiao's hand and clapped, "That's great."

He called his son aside and gave him some instructions.

Soon, the swaddle, clothes, diapers, and even the silver bell for the child to wear on his wrist were all ready.

Things were delivered one after another, and Lin Qiao finally felt that she was going to be a mother.

Lying in bed at night, she couldn't help but kick the man and sighed.

"What do you want to eat? Or are you feeling nauseous?" Ji Duo sat up immediately.

In the early days, Lin Qiao didn't feel any discomfort. But when she was confirmed to be pregnant, the pregnancy symptoms came belatedly.

For this purpose, the family prepared a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator, and Mr. Ji’s cooking skills also improved day by day.

In the end, Lin Qiao just touched his abdominal muscles and said, "You can only look at it but not eat it. I have paid too much for this child."

However, for the next six months, Brigade Commander Ji was still unable to eat. He was even worse off, and had to be touched by Lin Qiao...

But when Su Zheng called him and asked him out for dinner, he still said in a low-key manner that he would not go and would stay at home with his wife and children.

"Where did you get your child?" Su Zheng was confused at first, but then he realized, "Is your Lin Qiao pregnant?"

"Um."

Ji Duo's voice was always serious and low, but Su Zheng somehow heard something else in it. "The baby is still in the belly, do you really need to accompany her? Come out quickly and call your Lin Qiao. Don't act like a kid when you're already over 30 and you're a father."

"Some people are over 30 years old, and they don't even have a wife, let alone being a father."

Su Zheng suffered 10,000 points of damage and hung up the phone.

As for Brigade Commander Ji's lover, few people have seen her since Lin Qiao left the military school.

But after a little inquiry, I found that many people knew her, especially students in school. They would inevitably hear teachers mention her during experimental classes, exams and competitions.

I have only heard of him but never seen him. The more I hear about him, the more he seems like a legend.

To the soldiers under Ji Duo, Lin Qiao, the sister-in-law, is even more mysterious.

Sometimes, people can’t stand Ji Duo’s strict demands, and they can’t help but wonder if he has the same cold face at home.

It was not easy for Brigade Commander Ji's lover at that time, as she had to serve such a cold-faced King Yan.

Whenever this happened, Xiao Fang would remain silent, hiding his identity and name.

Until his service was over and he was ready to return home.

The new driver's surname is Yuan, a greenhorn in his twenties who previously drove for a transport team.

When driving for a leader, one has to be familiar with the road. Xiao Fang sat in the co-pilot of the jeep and first directed everyone to the vicinity of National Tsinghua University, instructing them to remember the route well.

"Is this Brigade Commander Ji's home?" Xiao Yuan remembered it very seriously.

Xiao Fang nodded, and then took the second person to the nearby vegetable market...

Xiao Yuan was confused, "Does the chief come here often?"

"Just remember it." Xiao Fang didn't say much, and pointed out the best parking spot for him, "This is close to the seafood stall."

The last lesson Xiao Fang taught him was that as a driver of a leader, one must be able to read the expressions on the leader's face and be silent when necessary and blind when necessary.

The more Xiao Yuan listened, the more uneasy he became. He wondered if he was about to be exposed to some of his leader's secrets.

Then on his first day on the job, Ji Duo went to the market, um, to buy vegetables.

Then I went to the side gate of Tsinghua University to pick someone up.

Xiao Yuan can guarantee that before his leader got out of the car, he definitely adjusted his military cap and looked into the rearview mirror of the jeep.

Ji Duo didn't notice the driver. Lin Qiao was pregnant and had a thesis defense today.

Although she was the only graduate student in the School of Chemistry this year and her instructors also took care of her physical condition, Lin Qiao still took the graduation that had finally arrived after two lifetimes very seriously.

It was drizzling when we came out of the college. Lin Qiao had just stood at the door of the teaching building when Ji Duo came over with an umbrella.

"Is it going well?" the man asked her first.

Lin Qiao hummed, and just as his eyebrows curved, his steps paused.

"What's wrong?" Ji Duo raised his hand to help her block the passers-by.

Lin Qiao didn't say anything, but felt it silently for a while before turning to look at the man, "This time is a bit early, and a bit coincidental. Can you accept your own child calling for an explanation?"
