"Ruo Ke, you're finally back! You scared me to death! If you hadn't come back, the captain would have torn me apart!"
Before they even entered, Tan Peishi burst out like a locomotive, chattering away incessantly.
"Shut up!" Huo Qingfeng was annoyed by her string of words and shouted angrily.
Tan Peishi glanced at him and dared not utter another word. She had almost lost Ruoke; the captain was already being very magnanimous by not beating her up.
If she could be put down, she would also put down the puppy she was holding, and take Tan Peishi's hand. "Peishi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! I promise, it won't happen again!"
Tan Peishi leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You dare to do it again? Next time the captain will tear me apart, and you won't see me again."
Ling Ruoke glanced at the man with a dark face and secretly stuck out her tongue at Tan Peishi. In fact, she was wondering if she herself would also be given a beating later!
"Cough cough cough, Captain, do you want to take a cold shower first?" Fu Peigang saw his wife trembling with fear and quickly spoke up to rescue her.
"Hmm." Huo Qingfeng knew he didn't taste very good, so he went inside without saying anything.
As soon as the bathroom door closed, Tan Peishi let out a long sigh and patted her chest. "Waaah, the captain was so scary!"
As soon as she finished whimpering, another little one, thinking it had found a companion, also started whimpering.
"Wow, where did this dog come from?" Tan Peishi exclaimed and jumped up. She didn't like small animals. They relieved themselves everywhere, were dirty, and loved to lick themselves.
Ling Ruo was afraid that she would step on the puppy, so she quickly picked it up. "Peishi, I found it. Don't worry, it'll only stay for one night. I'll find it a good owner tomorrow."
Tan Peishi pouted, not daring to refuse. The captain had gone to so much trouble to find this person; if she got angry and drove him away, it would be a disaster. "Then it's settled, you have to send him away tomorrow!"
"I know." Ling Ruoke patted the puppy's head. Although she really wanted to keep it, she couldn't.
Fearing the puppy would run around and dirty the house, she had to make a nest out of old tires and clothes and put it inside. The puppy was still small, and it couldn't climb out if it was even slightly taller.
Tan Peishi cooked noodles and ate a little, while Huo Qingfeng slurped down two large bowls.
After such a busy night, the couple, feeling like they were newlyweds after a short separation, went back to their room early to be intimate.
When Ling Ruoke came out of the shower, Huo Qingfeng was playing on the computer in her room. He was looking at websites about firearms, which she knew nothing about.
Having learned from her previous experience, Ruoke quickly made a bed on the floor. "I'm going to sleep now, goodnight."
Huo Qingfeng shut down his computer, washed up, and went to Ruo Ke's bedside. He was still shaken by the fright he'd experienced that night. Even during the most difficult missions, he'd never felt such fear. He dared not imagine what those people would have done to her if he'd arrived even a moment later…
So, he finally couldn't resist, pulled back the covers, and got into bed.
"Huh?" Ling Ruoke couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her almond-shaped eyes widening. "W-what are you going to do?"
Huo Qingfeng stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace. "Ruoke, I'm not one of those scoundrels who want to lay a hand on you."
"Then, then you..." Although they had hugged before, they had never clung to each other like this while lying on the same bed. And he was shirtless!
Ling Ruoke felt her face suddenly become hot, as if it were burning. She tried to push away its scorching chest with her delicate hands, but couldn't. "You...you go away!"
The man tightened his arms around her, pressing her face against his chest, his lips against her sensitive earlobe. "Sleep, or we can do something else."
"Damn!" Ling Ruoke gasped. She wasn't so stupid as to not understand what he meant by "other things." So she really didn't dare to move and froze in his arms.
The man rolled over, letting her lie face down on his chest. He spoke to her in a low, disjointed voice.
Gradually, Ling Ruoke began to relax her body and nerves, and soon fell asleep.
Once he was sure she was asleep, the man lowered his head and pecked her lips before drifting off to sleep himself.
The tranquility of the room warmed the cool moonlight.
As Ling Ruoke drifted off to sleep, she felt something pressing against her lower back. Instinctively, she shifted her body to try and move away, then reached out to push it away.
Suddenly, a suppressed gasp escaped, and breathing became heavy.
Ling Ruoke's groggy mind suddenly snapped awake. She opened her eyes abruptly and realized it was already daylight. When she understood what had just happened, she screamed and scrambled to the corner of the bed, clutching her blanket.
"You, you pervert!" Ling Ruoke blushed furiously at the awkward situation.
Huo Qingfeng chuckled softly, a hint of mischief in his voice. "If that's alright, it's just a natural physiological phenomenon. Didn't you learn that in high school biology?"
Damn it! She's already been married once, yet she still looks so damn naive, tempting people to commit crimes!
"You—" Ling Ruoke wanted to retort but didn't know what to say. She quickly climbed out of bed and ran out to wash up.
"Wow! Ruoke, why is your face so red? Did the captain do something indecent?" Tan Peishi, who was washing her face, exclaimed in surprise.
Ling Ruo wished she could disappear into a hole. "N-nothing!"
Why can they say such embarrassing things so openly?
Tan Peishi's eyes darted around, then she leaned close to Ruoke, almost touching her face. "Really? If not, why are you blushing?"
"Really not! Are you done washing? Hurry up and come out!" Ling Ruoke pushed her towards the door.
Tan Peishi chuckled wickedly and exclaimed, "Ruo Ke, do you know what this is called? This is called trying to cover up the truth! I'm sure the captain is being a pervert!"
"How did you know?" A chilling voice suddenly rang out behind her.
"Husband, help!" Tan Peishi screamed, clutching her head, and darted into the bedroom like a rabbit.
Huo Qingfeng leaned casually against the doorframe, watching the petite woman holding a toothbrush and toothpaste, seemingly unsure of what to do, and secretly chuckled to himself. How could his Ruoke be so adorable!
"I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth, you can leave now!" Ling Ruoke wasn't used to him looking at her like that to begin with, and with that awkward moment already, she was even more afraid to be in a small space with him. She felt like she could hardly breathe!
"I'll go with you!" The man didn't back out; instead, he squeezed in, closed the door, and put his arm around her waist. "Look at us, how well-matched we are."
Ling Ruoke looked up at the couple in the mirror. The man was tall and strong, his arms tightly wrapped around the woman's waist, his chin resting on her shoulder. The woman was petite and delicate, as if she were born to fit into the man's broad embrace.
"Aren't you a perfect match?"
