Sensing danger, she pressed her lips together, then abruptly turned around, simultaneously facing the person who had suddenly attacked.
"Huo Qingfeng!" After exchanging blows for a while, Ling Ruoke called out the other party's name with a smile.
Huo Qingfeng pulled down his hood, grinning, and opened his arms to embrace her. "Wife, did you miss me?"
"Yes!" Ling Ruoke readily admitted, throwing herself into his arms and hugging his lean, strong waist. "How did you get here? Did you agree with Cheetah?"
"Okay." He agreed to one of her conditions. That woman never missed an opportunity to gain something.
Huo Qingfeng lowered his head and sealed her lips with his to stop her from asking any more questions. Their kisses lingered deeply, until she was breathless. "Let's go, honey, your husband will take you out to play today!"
Ling Ruoke raised her hand and punched him in the chest. "Where are we going? We can't go too far. Who knows if Cheetah will suddenly change her mind! She said she received orders to be back within an hour."
"Don't worry, your husband's here!" Colonel Huo said nonchalantly, picking her up and running off. After running a short distance, they saw his Hummer parked there.
Ling Ruoke was placed in the passenger seat, and watching the man jump into the driver's seat, she smiled radiantly. At that moment, her heart was filled with happiness. And at that moment, she truly understood what it meant to say, "If love between two people lasts forever, why should they be together every day?"
Huo Qingfeng turned to look at his wife's smile, couldn't help but pull her close and give her a big kiss.
Ling Ruoke playfully punched him and warned, "Drive carefully!" Life is so wonderful, she didn't want any accidents to happen.
She slowly closed her eyes, feeling the wind brush past her ears—a slight pain, but incredibly pleasant. Beside her sat the man she loved most, and she could feel his loving gaze. Nothing could be more beautiful than this!
"Comrade Colonel, where are we headed?" She noticed that the car was heading towards the city center.
Colonel Huo looked at his wife, his eyes suddenly darkening. His voice seemed a little hoarse. "Get a room."
"You rascal!" Ling Ruoke scolded, both amused and exasperated, but deep down she was also looking forward to it. Since they were already mutually attracted, why be shy and coy?
Colonel Huo grinned, his white teeth gleaming, his heart already itching with desire from his wife's teasing. If he weren't driving, he would have pounced on her long ago.
The car sped along and soon arrived in the city.
Colonel Huo wasn't joking; he really went straight to a hotel, grabbed his wife, and headed to the front desk to check in.
He chose a small hotel; high-end hotels have too many security cameras, which would easily attract attention.
The receptionist looked at them with a knowing, ambiguous gaze.
Even though she wasn't as shy anymore, Ling Ruoke couldn't help but blush. This was, in fact, her first time going to a hotel with a man. Although she had decided she would marry no one but him, she still felt incredibly embarrassed!
Once inside the room, she grabbed Colonel Huo's collar, looked up at him seriously, and said, "You're not going to eat and then refuse to buy a ticket, are you?"
"Eat first, then I'll answer you!" Colonel Huo scooped her up and tossed her onto the bed, pouncing on her like a hungry wolf. He began to devour her, as eager as if he hadn't eaten for a year and a half!
That's right!
Ling Ruoke let out a soft cry, before she could even think of resisting, she was pinned down by the man, who was biting and touching her. Soon, she went limp, letting out low moans.
Colonel Huo was so aroused by the low voice that he almost had a nosebleed. His mouth and hands moved even more urgently, as if he wanted to tear off the clothes that were in his way.
Like rain after a long drought.
The two of them were like madmen, clinging tightly to each other, trying their best to absorb every breath of each other.
The tide of passion was like gasoline, surging and igniting a raging fire that burned away all reason. Only their affection for each other deepened and deepened in their tender embrace.
He asked her three times before Colonel Huo reluctantly let her go.
Ling Ruoke lay on top of him, her body limp and breathless, looking at the colonel who was still full of energy while supporting her, and inwardly despised herself. She was struggling to move even a little, while he was only slightly heavy-hearted!
She thought that her physical fitness had greatly improved over the past few days, but when compared with him, the gap became apparent!
She stretched out her slender fingers and poked his chest repeatedly, filled with resentment. "Is this the difference between women and men?" No matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't catch up!
Huo Qingfeng grabbed his wife's finger, chuckled, and kissed it. "Don't be angry, honey, I'll let you poke it!"
Ling Ruoke suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, lifted her upper body, and bit his cheek hard, leaving a noticeable mark. Only then did she feel a little better, and she looked at him triumphantly with a smile.
Colonel Huo didn't mind at all, and brought his other cheek to her mouth, saying ingratiatingly, "Wife, how about we make it symmetrical?"
Ling Ruoke then bit his other cheek without hesitation. Seeing the comical sight of the man with a tooth mark on each cheek, she laughed so hard she rolled around on the bed.
Colonel Huo pulled her close, letting her lie on top of him. He kissed her forehead, feeling incredibly content. His hand instinctively reached out to stroke her long hair, only to find, to his surprise, that he had touched nothing.
Ling Ruoke placed her hands on his chest, rested her chin on them, and looked up at him. A faint smile played on her lips, captivating her. After a while, she reached out and touched his jaw, feeling the familiar stinging sensation. "It feels like a dream!" A beautiful dream.
"Silly girl!" Colonel Huo stroked her face, his gaze full of affection. After all the twists and turns, she had finally returned to his embrace. And he, now possessed the whole world.
Ling Ruoke wrinkled her nose, but still smiled. When there's someone in your heart, just thinking about them makes you smile, let alone when they're right in front of you! "By the way, how's Peishi? Did Fu Peigang come back with you too?"
She'd forgotten to ask last time because it was all too rushed. However, since the information they released was part of the mission, Fu Peigang should still be alive. After all, Fu Peigang was Qingfeng's most outstanding soldier!
"They're all fine. Tan Peishi keeps complaining that she's exhausted, saying that the company's affairs are overwhelming her, and asking when you're going to come back and help her share the burden. She said she's never seen such an irresponsible boss as you." But he could tell that Tan Peishi was very happy when she was saying these things.
Ling Ruoke couldn't help but chuckle; she could perfectly imagine Pei Shi's tone and expression at that moment. She rolled off the colonel's chest and lay flat on her back, her head resting in his arm. Looking at the white ceiling, she smiled brightly. "So nice!"
"That's wonderful!" she said twice, then slowly closed her eyes.
Colonel Huo let out two howls and flipped her over, pinning her beneath him. "Wife, how dare you think of other men while you're under me! See how I punish you!"
He had already asked three times, and although Colonel Huo was still not satisfied, he doted on his wife, so he just tickled her.
Ling Ruoke was extremely ticklish, and Colonel Huo tormented her until she rolled around on the bed, groaning and begging for mercy. She laughed so hard she choked.
Colonel Huo quickly stopped and rubbed her stomach. "Wife, are you alright?"
Ling Ruoke coughed violently, but before she could answer, the door to the room was suddenly kicked open!
Colonel Huo yanked the blanket over the two men, wrapping them tightly. Turning his head, he saw two men rush in, pointing guns at them.
"Don't move, the police are investigating!"
Colonel Huo and his wife exchanged a glance and instantly realized that they had run into a police raid on prostitution and pornography!
Colonel Huo nodded to his wife, leaped out of bed, and swiftly snatched the guns from the two men, knocking them unconscious in the process. These policemen were all office workers who never exercised; their fighting skills were terrible.
Colonel Huo tore off the bed sheet and covered the two people.
The couple quickly got dressed.
Colonel Huo opened the window, and after a few quick climbs, he landed safely on the ground. The third floor was nothing to him. He opened his arms and looked at her. "Wife, jump down."
Ling Ruoke smiled slightly, but instead of jumping down, she climbed and leaped like him, landing steadily in front of him.
"My wife is amazing!" Colonel Huo was filled with pride, hugged her and kissed her hard a few times.
Upstairs, another group of people rushed into the room, ran to the window, and shouted, "They're down there! Grab them!"
Ling Ruoke grabbed the colonel's hand and shouted with a laugh, "Why aren't you running yet!"
So the two of them took off running down the street. Luckily, the colonel's car wasn't parked in the hotel parking lot, but somewhere in the city.
After running for quite a distance, the two stopped and looked at each other, bursting into laughter.
Ling Ruoke's face turned bright red, whether from embarrassment or from running, it was hard to tell. She looked like a delicious, tempting apple.
So the colonel couldn't resist pulling the man close again and kissing him a few times.
The two strolled slowly down the street, hand in hand. Thinking back to what had just happened, they couldn't help but chuckle. Their first time in a hotel room and they ran into a crackdown on prostitution—they were really lucky!
"Colonel, where do we go now?" The plan to lie on the hotel bed and chat was now ruined.
Colonel Huo put his arm around her. "Let's go, honey, your husband will take you to eat something delicious."
The two of them went to a famous buffet restaurant in T city. Although it was a bit pricey, it had the advantage of a quiet environment and excellent food quality, making it a perfect place for two people to sit down and enjoy their meal at their leisure.
Ling Ruoke's appetite is on a completely different level than before, not to mention Colonel Huo's appetite. So the two of them together can easily eat their fill.
Ling Ruoke watched the colonel eat large chunks of meat and couldn't help but chuckle.
She remembered a group of students having a get-together in college. There were small restaurants near the school where a dish cost five yuan and rice was all you could eat. So the group sat down and ordered a few dishes, but ended up eating several pots of rice. The owner was almost in tears.
Once, she and Pei Shi happened to be eating at a small restaurant when they overheard the owner begging a few boys, "Brothers, I'm begging you, please go eat somewhere else. With your appetites, I'm losing money hand over fist! I'm just running a small business, please let me off the hook."
She and Pei Shi almost laughed until their stomachs hurt. Even long afterward, when they recalled that scene, they still couldn't help but laugh so hard they rolled on the floor.
"What's wrong?" The colonel thought he had something on his face, touched it, but it was clean. He reached out and pinched his wife's nose. "What are you laughing at? Tell me the truth!"
Ling Ruoke removed his hand, laughing heartily. She stopped after a while, mumbling, "I was thinking, if every customer were like us, the owner would be hiding under the covers and crying his eyes out!"
Colonel Huo couldn't help but laugh at the thought. He raised his hand and affectionately pinched his wife's cheek. "Such a strange idea of yours."
Ling Ruoke smiled again and vaguely recounted what happened back then.
Colonel Huo couldn't stop laughing, and pinched his wife's cheek as if punishing her. Even after being exposed to rain and sun for so long, his wife's skin was still so smooth and tender.
The two of them, having eaten and drunk their fill, didn't keep stuffing themselves. They put down their chopsticks, patted their bellies, and burped as they walked out, wandering around the streets.
Holding hands, without speaking. Occasionally our eyes meet, and we smile silently. But everything feels so beautiful.
This was the first time they had ever strolled aimlessly down the street, hand in hand, like a young couple.
"How are your family and the little one?" It had been a long time since she'd seen the little one. The last time she visited his parents, the little one was at school, so she hadn't seen him.
Colonel Huo smiled gently. "It's all good. But the little guy still keeps talking about Mommy. I'm a bit surprised; it's been so long, and he hasn't forgotten at all. When I went back, I saw that he sleeps with your photo in his arms. He even calls for Mommy in his dreams."
Ling Ruoke's eyes welled up with tears from his words. Actually, she missed the little guy very much too. She spent more time with her little companion than with Qingfeng. "I miss him so much, so very much."
Colonel Huo quickly hugged his wife and nuzzled her face. "It's alright, you'll see him soon. When you get back to Z City, we'll bring him over, okay?"
"Mmm!" Ling Ruoke smiled and nodded vigorously.
Passing by a jewelry store, Colonel Huo remembered that he hadn't bought his wife any decent jewelry yet, so he pulled her inside.
"No! We can't take them now, let's talk about it later!" Ling Ruoke hurriedly grabbed him and dragged him forward. The staff at the door rushed up, seemingly realizing that the colonel was a wealthy man.
The sales clerk was clearly a sales expert, so instead of stopping Colonel Huo from paying, he stood in front of Ruo Ke. However, because Ruo Ke was walking very fast, he suddenly rushed out, and the two almost collided.
The colonel grabbed his wife, glared at him fiercely, and pulled her forward.
The sales clerk automatically stepped aside, only coming to her senses after they had walked away. She instinctively hugged her knees and rubbed them together; that person's eyes were terrifying!
"Look how fierce you are, you scared the person!" Ling Ruoke turned around, looked at the young man rubbing his arms, and scolded him in a sweet voice.
Colonel Huo didn't think he had done anything wrong. "He almost hit my wife, I was already being very gentle by not hitting him!" he said, shaking his fist.
Ling Ruoke half-clenched his fist, smiled, tiptoed, and kissed him. He was always like this, unable to tolerate anyone hurting her even the slightest bit. How fortunate she was to have such a person to grow old with!
As the two walked, they turned onto a tree-lined path with little traffic.
"Wife, let me sing you a song," the colonel suddenly said enthusiastically.
Ling Ruoke stared at him wide-eyed, unable to contain her amusement. "Are you sure you can sing, and not just shout the words?" She had every right to doubt, because the colonel had never sung in front of her before. Besides, soldiers were used to shouting when they sang.
"Do you want to listen?" Colonel Huo was suspected but not angry. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at her mischievously.
Ling Ruoke naturally wouldn't refuse; she also wanted to hear the colonel sing. "Of course I want to hear. But you'd better keep it down. I won't allow it if others hear!"
Colonel Huo smiled and hugged her tighter, then cleared his throat and began to sing softly:
I never make any promises lightly.
I have never been so heartbroken for anyone.
And now I can open my heart.
You are the only girl I've ever truly loved.
...
But then one day you left this place.
They took the whole world away without leaving a single cloud.
From then on, I was like barley being husked.
Wandering aimlessly in the lonely wind and rain.
But I hope you understand.
I'm right beside you
No matter how far away you are
Even if you change your appearance
Even if you forget me
You will always be my beloved girl.
May God guide you on a smooth path.
May fate bring you into contact with kind people.
May the distant sunshine and dazzling lights...
Illuminating every future sky for you
...
Time is like a rushing river.
Quietly take everything away from life.
And my heart is like those surging waves.
I'll always be with you, even if we're at opposite ends of the earth.
I hope you understand from this point on.
I'm right beside you
No matter how far away you are
Until you changed
Until you forget me
You will always be the girl I love.
...
I really hope you know
I'm right beside you
No matter how far away you are
Until I went to heaven
Until you forget me
You will always be the girl I love.
You will always be the girl I love.
(Finish)
Ling Ruoke listened as the colonel sang her love song in a low, slightly husky voice, unassuming yet deeply affectionate. She knew the song; it was Wang Feng's "You Are My Beloved Girl." What she didn't know was that the colonel was actually a pretty good singer. His technique wasn't exceptional, but his slightly husky voice, whispering and expressing himself, was very moving.
She turned around and hugged his waist tightly. "Huo Qingfeng, I feel like the happiest woman in the world!" No matter how many disasters and separations she endured, this person remained steadfastly by her side. What love could be more beautiful than this!
Colonel Huo was naturally delighted to have his wife throw herself into his arms. He had heard this song on the street while searching for her. Perhaps the lyrics resonated so deeply with his feelings, for he immediately memorized the melody. Later, after listening to it a few more times on the computer, he learned how to sing it.
Holding his wife in his arms, Colonel Huo suddenly thought of the guzheng. Looking back now, it seemed he had really wronged her. However, the timing was wrong, and the person wasn't right either; there was nothing more to say.
"How was it? Did your husband sing well?" He gently wiped away her wet eyes; this silly girl was always so easily moved to tears. Even the smallest gesture could deeply touch her heart.
Ling Ruoke nodded frantically. "Great, great, great!" She mustered her courage and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.
The colonel, turning the tables, grabbed her and began kissing her passionately. He only released her when she was panting heavily. Just as he was about to speak, a glance across the street revealed two people watching him. They were none other than the two officers from the hotel's anti-prostitution squad!
At the same time, they were recognized. "Stop! You all stop right there!"
They exchanged a glance.
Colonel Huo pulled his wife along, running on the tree-lined road, their joyful laughter echoing through the air. Every now and then, he would turn back, smiling as he watched the two figures disappear into the distance.
With you by my side, I'm happy no matter when, where, or what I'm doing.
