"Hmm..." Ruoke let out a clear protest, turned over, and showed her thin back.
Huo Qingfeng gazed at her for a long time before finally letting out a sigh of relief and tucking her in. He stood by the bed for a long time before turning to leave.
Only after the door closed did Ruoke slowly lie down, still keeping her eyes closed.
...
"team leader."
Fu Peigang plopped down next to Huo Qingfeng.
Huo Qingfeng glanced at him, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and remained silent.
"Captain, I've noticed you're turning into a chimney lately."
The captain used to smoke, but not as frequently as he does now. His brows are always furrowed, and he has many more wrinkles now.
It's true what they say, beautiful women can be a curse. His Shishi is so much better; she's so straightforward and honest. She cries when she's upset and laughs when she's happy, making everything perfectly clear to everyone, saving us the hassle and worry of guessing!
"You can report it to the captain."
Fu Peigang curled his lip. "Captain, you're definitely taking your anger out on others."
Huo Qingfeng elbowed him and yelled, "If you have something to say, keep it to yourself. If you don't, get lost!"
Fu Peigang chuckled. "Captain, I can guarantee Ruoke would never have known you had this side to you."
Although soldiers are known for their foul language, which makes them sound more imposing, the captain has recently been becoming increasingly vulgar, which is dangerous.
Huo Qingfeng squinted and glanced at him.
Startled, Fu Peigang quickly moved a considerable distance to the side, staring at him warily.
"Captain, you're burning with desire, but you can't take it out on us! We're real men!"
Then Fu Peigang remembered what his wife had said last night: "I think the captain sees our Ruoke and wants to turn into a wolf and devour this little lamb in one gulp. It's a pity that this little lamb is the apple of his eye. He can only look at her but not eat her. He's so frustrated that he can only take cold showers. It's so pitiful!"
Although he used that as an excuse to pounce on his wife and take advantage of her at the time, thinking about it afterwards, it really was true. Thinking about the captain yelling and taking a cold shower in the middle of the night, he really wanted to burst out laughing.
"Get lost! You brat, are you just here to laugh at me?"
Although it couldn't reach it, the long leg swept out swiftly, raising billowing dust.
Fu Peigang jumped back a few steps, realizing the danger had decreased, and then climbed back to his side.
"Captain, you need to come up with a solution. This can't go on like this."
Huo Qingfeng exhaled a puff of smoke, glanced at him, and asked, "What method? If you have any ideas, hurry up and come up with them, or you'll get a beating!"
Fu Peigang's eyes darted around, and he leaned closer.
"Captain, what do we special forces emphasize? Four words—speed and brute force! If we use these four words, there's no obstacle we can't overcome!"
Huo Qingfeng kicked him. "Bullshit! What do you mean by brute force? All the tricks I taught you to outsmart me have gone down the toilet! I'll beat you to death, you little brat!"
Fu Peigang grinned and scratched his head.
“Captain, this is a special case, so we need to analyze it specially. You have more experience than me for other missions. But for this mission, I’m better than you. Just look at my Shishi.”
"Trying to show off in front of me, huh? Going on a mission? Hmm, that's a good way to put it. I'll ask Tan Peishi for her opinion later."
"Captain, I'm only thinking of you. Why are you attacking Lü Dongbin?"
Huo Qingfeng showed no mercy this time, delivering a powerful kick that shook the heavens and the earth. Even though Fu Peigang was quick, he was still caught in the tail.
"You've got some nerve, calling me a dog, you brat who needs a beating! Get out here and run twenty laps, carrying no less than 25 kilograms of weight!"
With a snap, they stood at attention and saluted.
"Yes, Captain!"
Huo Qingfeng sat down again, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, took out another one, and lit it.
Speed? Force?
How about... we give it a try?
...
"You're reading again! Stop reading and come for a walk with me."
Tan Peishi snatched the book from Ruoke's hand and tossed it aside.
If there was no other way, I had to throw off the covers and get out of bed. "Where are you going for a stroll?"
"How about we go shopping? You haven't gone out at all since you came here. You know, even though this is a small city, the facilities here are quite good. The environment is also nice, suitable for long-term living."
"Shopping... or maybe you should have someone else go?"
Tan Peishi looked at her and suddenly understood her concerns. She reached out and pulled Ruoke closer.
"Ruo Ke, are you worried that that bastard Cang Weiwo will find this place?"
If Ruo Ke did not answer, it meant he had accepted her guess.
"Ling Ruoke, even if you die, you'll die in my arms!"
These were Cang Weiwo's words. She knew he always kept his word.
"Ruoke, you don't need to worry about that. Cang Wei didn't find this place so easily. Do you really think it's as exaggerated as in novels, where someone can be so powerful that they can find you anywhere? Besides, even if Cang Wei really came, the captain can protect you. Let me tell you, don't think the captain is just a soldier; he's very capable! So, don't worry."
Ruo Ke shook her head, her brow furrowed. "Pei Shi, you don't understand Cang Wei Wo."
Tan Peishi shrugged, unconvinced.
"I don't know Cang Weiwo, but I know the captain."
Their captain's name is Sharp Blade!
"Hey, Ruoke, you and Cangwei are divorced, right?"
As Tan Peishi pondered the captain's imposing name, she suddenly remembered something even more important. The captain could protect Ruoke, but if Ruoke was someone else's wife, that would be a real problem. For soldiers, conduct is a matter of life and death!
They were all busy rescuing people and then trying to bring the two of them together, completely forgetting that Ruoke might still be my wife!
Ruo Ke nodded. Cang Weiwo handed her the money with the signed divorce papers, and she signed them without hesitation. She thought that signing meant she would be free, but she didn't expect that Cang Weiwo still wouldn't let her go! He wanted her to die, and she would die in front of him!
"That's good, you scared me!" Tan Peishi patted her chest, looking relieved.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just to make sure you're free now. Come on, let's go shopping and get some sun. Lying in bed all day like this will only slow down your recovery."
"But--"
"Oh, no buts! Don't worry, our captain is amazing, he'll definitely be able to protect his woman!"
Tan Peishi wanted to pat herself on the chest and make this guarantee for Huo Qingfeng.
"Don't be skeptical! Let me tell you, my biggest takeaway from being a military wife is this: marrying a soldier gives you an absolute sense of security! If you've ever seen their beautiful abs, touched their hard, iron-like chests, and held their hands with their calloused hands, you'll have absolutely no doubt! Of course, if you've ever been so exhausted by their work that you fainted, you won't even dare to have a doubt!"
"Peishi!"
Ling Ruoke blushed immediately; this girl was becoming increasingly outspoken!
Tan Peishi stuck out her tongue. She absolutely couldn't let Fu Peigang know what she'd said, or she'd be in big trouble!
"Let's go, let's go."
