On this rare leisurely afternoon, the sunlight coming through the window makes people feel a hint of warmth.
I haven't seen Qu Dongbo for a long time. His eye sockets are a little sunken, obviously he hasn't slept well.
It happened that both of them were free that day, and they were able to enjoy a rare little moment of time alone.
It was just after lunch. Since more and more people came to work in the office, all the work in Antu County was gradually getting on track. We finally got a break from the previous high-intensity work. Now we even have a two-hour break after lunch.
Qu Dongbo sent his guards away and sat in the office.
Lu Qin leaned lazily against the window, greedily enjoying the sunlight shining into the office.
Now the fact that they are together is no longer a secret. All the soldiers and officers coming in and out know about the relationship between Lu Qin and Qu Dongbo.
Of course this is all thanks to Zhang Yu's big mouth.
After hearing what the witness, Adjutant Zhang said, Lu Qin could no longer escape the title of "the commander's fiancée".
But fortunately, everyone seems to be very supportive. When Lu Qin occasionally returns to the office, people will ask her when she will get married.
In response, she could only say that these people were too gossipy.
She and Qu Dongbo had just established a relationship and were rarely together, so she had basically never thought about this issue.
Although Lu Qin's mother was very satisfied and wanted to send her daughter to the next door, Lu Qin still felt that the current feeling of having their own goals to strive for but also having the same goals was still very good.
Just like now, even if they don’t say a word to each other, they feel very caring.
Everything is gentle and beautiful.
But before he could calm down for a moment, he heard Qu Dongbo say unexpectedly, "I have to go to Rongcheng in the next two days, and it may take half a month for me to come back."
"You're going to Rongcheng?" Lu Qin frowned. "Is there something going on?"
"The unrest in Rongcheng has never stopped." Qu Dongbo put down the documents in his hand, walked over, and gently hugged Lu Qin from behind. "Recently, more and more refugees have been coming from Rongcheng. I'm afraid that if this continues, Antu County will definitely be crushed."
The two have been in a relationship for several months, but they don't have much time to spend together.
Lu Qin knew that Qu Dongbo had a heavy burden on his shoulders, but she was also trying to share it in her own way.
"I said before that we can't accept so many refugees so easily." Lu Qin frowned.
She had tried to stop the refugees from joining, even suggesting they undergo medical examinations. But the "cold wave virus" story was too absurd, and blood tests of recent refugees arriving in Antu County had revealed nothing abnormal. So, she could only watch as the refugees joined Antu County.
But the key point now is not the virus that is still in the undiscovered stage, but the turbulent situation.
Judging from Qu Dongbo's tone, the current situation seems to be that in a chaotic land, Antu County, as the only peaceful place, has become a place that everyone yearns for.
So the number of refugees is increasing.
Qu Dongbo went to Rongcheng this time mainly for this matter.
If the problem is not resolved and the situation takes a sharp turn, with refugees crowding Antu County, things will only get worse.
Lu Qin knew that this was purely a struggle for power in the officialdom.
Although when she arrived in Rongcheng in her previous life, it was already a dominant power and she had never witnessed the bloody storm.
But from the few words that were circulated later, she could still feel the tension of the situation at that time.
"I'm just going to negotiate, nothing will happen." Qu Dongbo explained, "Most of these refugees are unwanted by Rongcheng. Pushing them all to me might be putting pressure on me to make me choose a side sooner. So I have to go. It's okay to push them all to me, but I also need supplies."
"So you should be more careful."
Being neutral between two forces may not be a good thing, but taking sides is definitely a dangerous thing.
The winner takes all, and if you don’t bet right, you will definitely lose everything.
Although Lu Qin knew that the final outcome would be good, she was still a little worried: "Will there be any danger if you go to Rongcheng alone?"
"Don't worry, they're all trying to win me over. They're already trying to please me, so how could they dare to do anything to me? They're afraid I'll defect to the other side." Qu Dongbo smiled and said, "But they might take other measures."
"What measures?"
"For example, the honey trap." Qu Dongbo put his arm around Lu Qin's shoulders and rested his chin on the top of her head.
"You dare?" Lu Qin was about to turn around, but he hugged her tightly, so she could only say angrily.
When I looked up, I only saw someone's mischievous smile.
Qu Dongbo was a head taller than her, and when she looked up, she could see his clear jawline.
Lu Qin knew he was teasing her. Her eyes rolled and she suddenly changed her expression. She squinted and smiled, "Ahem, sir, am I considered a beauty?"
Lu Qin bravely pressed Qu Dongbo's head towards her, stood on tiptoe, tilted her head back, and whispered sweetly in his ear:
"Um?"
Qu Dongbo just wanted to tease her and make her jealous, but he accidentally got aroused by the word "Huh?"
"I'm willing to fall into the trap." He moved his Adam's apple slightly, leaned down, and kissed Lu Qin's ear.
Lu Qin's ears have always been ticklish, and Qu Dongbo's slightly grown green stubble rubbed against her earlobe, making her giggle and twist around to avoid it.
After twisting and turning, she was finally unable to escape his clutches, causing Lu Qin to beg for mercy repeatedly.
“No more, no more…hahahaha…I give up! I give up!”
"Do you still dare to flirt with me?" Qu Dongbo stared at her and smiled.
Lu Qin blinked fearlessly, looking innocent: "If not you, who else should I tease? Right?"
“…”
"...You'll pay the price for teasing me." Qu Dongbo narrowed his eyes and gently pecked her soft lips.
Then, as if he had tasted something new, he lowered his head and savored it again.
Lu Qin's brain froze. Last time, she wasn't fully awake, but this time...
It seems like something is different again.
Her heart beat faster, but she forced herself to remain calm and hugged him boldly.
Respond, deepen, and integrate.
In the rare warm sunshine of winter, Qu Dongbo held her in his arms as if she were a precious treasure.
"Huh..." Lu Qin finally pushed away some of the heavy burden on his body and let out a long sigh, as if all the oxygen had been sucked away.
Qu Dongbo still buried his head in her hair and refused to let go.
"Hey...you're hurting me." Lu Qin complained coquettishly, "Can you kiss me? I almost suffocated to death."
"Well... don't move." Qu Dongbo didn't deny or retort, but his voice was hoarse.
Lu Qin was a little baffled. The next second, she suddenly thought of something: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... It's over, Qu Dongbo, you can't be..."
"Shut up..." Qu Dongbo hugged her tighter, but an abnormal blush appeared on his face.
As if she could feel the warmth from him even through the thick clothes, Lu Qin knew that this man was attracted by her.
Qu Dongbo felt a little depressed. In his twenty years of life, he seemed to have never been so impulsive.
This is definitely not his fault, it's all Lu Qin's fault for teasing him!
