"Are you mistaken? How could Jiu Zhen violate discipline and frame someone?"
Seeing that Zhou Jiuzhen was about to be taken away, Ling Huanwu panicked completely.
She stood in front of Zhou Jiuzhen, trying to argue for him.
Seeing her anxious and upset, Zhou Jiuzhen could only think of holding her in his arms and giving her a good hug.
Since she recovered from her serious illness, he hasn't even dared to hug her tightly.
He doesn't know when he'll be able to return.
That's what he was thinking.
And that's what they did.
Amidst the rosy glow of the sunset and the whistling of the sea breeze, he pulled the woman, who was still trying to argue for him, into his arms.
He held her in his arms as if he possessed the whole world.
Smelling the hair at her temples, everything around seemed to fade away, and it felt as if only the two of them remained in the world.
Zhou Jiuzhen cupped Ling Huanwu's face in his hands and kissed her gently, enveloping her like a soft breeze and drizzle.
The world around us seemed to be spinning and screaming wildly.
Ling Huanwu stood frozen in place, able to feel the shocked gazes directed at her, and even hear the low gasps of the aunts behind her, but she couldn't care less about anything else.
In this visually stunning moment.
Zhao Jingxiang originally wanted to ridicule Zhou Jiuzhen, but now he stared dumbfounded at the two of them defying societal norms and getting intimate. He slowly tightened his grip on the little red cigarette butt in his palm, clenched his fist, and the veins on his arms bulged.
Everyone on the island knows he wants to marry Ling Huanwu, and everyone knows that Commander Zhao made a bet with her.
The bet hasn't been decided yet, and he doesn't care how they sleep together in private, but the fact that they kissed in front of everyone is undoubtedly a slap in his face and a cuckold's horns to him.
"Zhou Jiuzhen!"
Zhao Jingxiang roared and tried to rush over to grab the person, but was blocked by a group of aunties.
"Zhao, you should have some decency! Commander Zhou and Comrade Ling are in love, why are you interfering?"
“That’s right, there are so many good girls in the city, and you just have to steal someone else’s wife. They’ve already had a wedding banquet; in our countryside, they’re considered a respectable couple. What you’re doing is stealing someone else’s wife, which is illegal…”
As Zhao Zhiqing listened to the accusations made by the villagers around him, his head buzzed, and all the accusations his parents had made against him since he was a child flashed through his mind.
"Big Dog, you don't like this backpack anyway, why don't you give it to your little brother?"
"Big Dog, you're the older brother, you need to learn to care for your younger brother. Look how much your younger brother likes you. He always gives you the best food and toys first. You can't always let your younger brother give way to you; you have to give way to him."
He didn't understand why everyone was pressuring him to give in to his younger brother.
Whenever he couldn't stand these words.
His younger brother, Er Gou, would generously give up everything.
Therefore, he hated his younger brother, yet he regarded him as the only light in his life.
But in the end, it was this very light that pushed him into the abyss.
He wanted to leave that home, and he also liked that little girl who was like a porcelain doll.
But why was it that only that one time that his good younger brother wouldn't allow it?
Zhao Jingxiang's eyes were bloodshot, and his overflowing pain seemed about to burst forth at any moment.
He wiped his face, but there wasn't a single tear.
But his chest was so sore it felt like it was about to explode.
That was clearly his wife, so how did he become the one who stole someone else's wife?
"ah……"
Zhao Jingxiang covered his head and let out a hysterical roar, like a trapped beast uttering its last cry.
The aunties who had just been trying to persuade him were so frightened that they fell silent, not daring to say another word.
The sea breeze howled and lashed at people's faces, like tiny knives cutting into flesh.
With a glance from the chief of staff behind him, two men in red armbands rushed over to take Zhou Jiuzhen away.
Zhou Jiuzhen was dragged off the stage with his arms twisted behind his back by two people wearing red armbands. The rough hemp rope made his shoulder bones creak.
But he tilted his head, his lips pressed tightly against Ling Huanwu's, refusing to let go even a little.
Ling Huanwu's face was already red from the cold, and tears streamed down her face, which he then put into his mouth, tasting both salty and bitter.
She could feel his jaw chattering, not from fear, but from the cold and anxiety.
The woman in the red armband had already kicked him in the back of his knees, and his legs went weak, so he almost clung to her.
But he refused to give in, as if he wanted to chew up and swallow this moment of warmth.
"Commander Zhou, you're being a pervert! You still dare not let go!" The angry shout from the red-armbanded man, mixed with the surrounding curses, came crashing down. Zhou Jiuzhen took a hard blow to the back of the neck, and the muffled groan made Ling Huanwu's lips go numb.
But he wouldn't let go, stubbornly rubbing against her chapped lips, as if he were desperately trying to remember something.
The pulling force suddenly became fierce, and Zhou Jiuzhen's body was forcibly torn half an inch apart. Ling Huanwu's lips were instantly empty, leaving only the lingering warmth of his mint candy.
But the next moment, he suddenly found the strength to break free and his lips slammed back against his, making a muffled sound.
This time, he bit very lightly, as if afraid of breaking her, yet it seemed as if he wanted to gather all the thoughts he would have for countless years to come into this kiss through that tiny touch.
The sound of the rope digging into flesh, the angry curses of the red-armbanded man, and the howling of the wind and snow all became blurred background noise in Ling Huanwu's ears, leaving only the trembling of his lips and the almost extinguished yet unwillingly burning passion between them.
"take away!"
The final tug was accompanied by a tearing pain. Zhou Jiuzhen's lips finally left hers, and he was forced to move his head toward the truck.
Ling Huanwu watched his retreating figure as he was pushed away, the shape of his teeth marks still visible on her lips.
A gust of wind blew, and the remaining warmth felt as cold as ice, yet it burned her heart, causing her tears to fall even more fiercely.
Zhao Jingxiang glanced at Ling Huanwu, who was standing in the wind with red, tear-filled eyes.
Her hair was disheveled, and her lips were swollen and red like ripe cherries, exuding a deadly allure.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the turbulent thoughts churning within him, and slowly turned to leave indignantly.
The aunts surrounded Ling Huanwu.
"What exactly happened? Comrade Ling, don't worry, we'll all work together to figure out a solution."
"Yes, Commander Zhou is so good. As long as the matter is investigated, Commander Zhou will be released."
Everyone offered words of comfort to Ling Huanwu.
As the ship carrying Zhou Jiuzhen sailed away from the dock, Lin Xiaoqin put her arm around Ling Huanwu's shoulder to comfort her, her face full of worry.
Ling Huanwu wiped away her tears, smiled at the villagers who were comforting her, and proved with her actions that she was alright.
Escorted by her aunts, she first returned to her apartment in the family compound.
As soon as her aunts left, she went to the police station to find Captain Sun and find out what had happened.
These days, she has seen Zhou Jiuzhen and Captain Sun hanging out frequently, and she knows that there is something she doesn't know about it.
Captain Sun recounted how Zhou Jiuzhen had gone to the auditorium to report Zhao Jingxiang for bullying her.
Ling Huanwu felt a chill run down her spine, realizing that the nightmare from that night was actually real!
And Zhou Jiuzhen actually did so much behind the scenes...
