“I…”
He reached out his right hand to clasp her soft waist and pulled her directly into his arms. The man bent down, looked into her eyes, and smiled. “I’ll settle matters with our father slowly in the future; let me kiss my wife first!”
He directly covered her red lips with his own.
Leng Zhiyuan did not expect him to be so domineering and direct. Her red lips were captured by him. She opened her eyes and looked at him. He was still wearing his camouflage uniform which seemed travel-worn. He was probably too busy and had not shaved for several days, but there was not much tiredness on his handsome, resolute face. He was still in glowing spirits. His eyes were closed as he kissed her passionately.
Her whole body went soft, and she slowly extended her small hand to hug his strong waist. His clothes were cold, making her palm cold upon touching them, but under the clothes was his body heat that was full of masculinity and warmth.
She wanted to hold him tighter, but just then, a knock sounded at the door.
Leng Zhiyuan was startled and pushed him quickly. Zhou Yao had just gotten a little dessert and was enjoying it. When she pushed him, he left her lips reluctantly.
“Zhiyuan, what are you doing in the room?” The voice of Leng Mu came from outside the door.
Leng Zhiyuan’s pupils constricted as she panicked. It’s Dad!
She looked up at Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao silently raised his hand and rubbed her hair to comfort her. He took a look at the door and motioned for her to go there. It would be alright. Leng Zhiyuan had no choice but to believe him. “Dad, I’m coming.” She went to the door and opened it.
Leng Mu stood outside the door. He glanced into the room, and there was no one. “Dad, I just took a bath. What can I do for you?” Leng Zhiyuan reached out and brushed the wet hair on her shoulder twice.
“Oh, it’s OK. I just wanted to check on you. Zhiyuan, go to bed early.” Leng Mu turned and left.
Only after seeing her father disappear into the study did Leng Zhiyuan heave a long sigh of relief. She closed the door.
At this moment, her world spun. Zhou Yao had appeared behind her and picked her up.
Leng Zhiyuan did not dare to make a sound, but she could not help clenching her fist and hammering him twice. “You scared me to death. If my father found out, you could only dream about coming here next time.”
Zhou Yao carried her to the bathroom. “Don’t worry, I’ve been treading for several days. I’ve been here for three nights in a row. I will stand under your window every time I get driven out. My heart is itchy, but I’ve endured it. Do you think with my skill that I would let father find anything suspicious?”
Leng Zhiyuan thought that it was funny. “I did not expect that Major General Zhou has the potential to be a robber.”
“No choice. I’ll do anything to see my wife.”
Leng Zhiyuan felt sweetness in her heart. “Flowery speech!”
The next second, she was put down. She took a look and only then did she realise that she was already standing under the shower behind the frosted glass door. She was surprised. “What are you doing? I already showered.”
“I have not. Bathe me.” He said it boldly and confidently, and he even reached out to touch the little stubble on his chin. “I have not shaved for several days, you help me.”
Her little face turned red instantly. “No, I’m not your servant. What about your own hand?” she muttered in protest.
“My good wife…” Zhou Yao pulled her into his arms and coaxed her. “I will be going back to base at 4 a.m. to prepare to set off. Before I left for the mission, it was so difficult for me to sneak out to see you. Shouldn’t you take good care of your husband for once?”
Leng Zhiyuan softened, and her heart ached for him. “Since you are going to leave at four, why did you still come here?”
“Missed you. I wanted to hug you while I sleep.” Zhou Yao kissed her little face hard. Leng Zhiyuan stopped playing hard to get. It was a waste of his time to keep bantering like this. He still needed his sleep. “But I don’t have a razor here.”
“I do, in my pocket.”
He was indeed always well-prepared. She complained in her heart. Shaving only takes a few minutes. It was so childish for him to bring his razor in his trouser pocket just for her to help him shave.
But she liked it!
She liked it when men had such small tricks up their sleeves!
Although the man said it was in his pocket, he did not look like he planned to move at all. Leng Zhiyuan glared at him, then stretched out her little hand and stuck it into his pocket.
His trouser pocket was so big that she had to search inside it twice. Just then, she felt a warmth against her fingers, she had touched somewhere she should not have touched.
Her ears burned. She felt the razor and pulled it out quickly. Zhou Yao saw how she averted her gaze. He squinted his narrow eyes slowly as if he had been stung by a bee, then with a wicked smile, he said, “My wife, that made you shy? I haven’t made you…”
“Shut up!” She stretched out her foot and kicked him in the thigh. “Say no more, or else I’ll scratch your face.”
She took the razor and made the action of scratching his face.
Zhou Yao’s mood became great. “Ok, I will stop teasing you.” He squatted down on both legs, like in a horse stance, and put her little hand on his jaw. “Start shaving.”
“But there’s no shaving cream.”
“No, just randomly shave a bit,” he replied casually.
So Leng Zhiyuan began to shave for him. It was her first time shaving. She was unfamiliar with it, but the man did not say anything. He stared at her delicate face with a dark gaze, and two big palms reached up her body.
She coyly avoided his touch. “Where is the mission? Is it convenient for you to say?”
“Binzhou island.”
That’s so far.
“Then you…be careful. Don’t try to be brave.”
“Ok.” He snorted but did not express his opinion too much. She was a woman. Women had their own worries, but he was a man, and men had men’s responsibilities.
Leng Zhiyuan’s feeling of uneasiness deepened a little, but she didn’t express it. “Are you tired these days?”
“Not too bad, because this time, we are fighting at sea. The weather on Binzhou island is always bad. There is fog and heavy rain all the time. These two days, we have been conducting intensive training at the base for drills on sea, which was of higher intensity.”
Since he said that the intensity is relatively higher, then it must be very high. He must have been very tired these few days.
How she wished she could be by his side so that he had no worries, but her father…
“I’m done shaving.” She put the razor away and turned to adjust the water temperature.
There was water splashing out of the shower, splashing on her body. Zhou Yao stood behind and looked on. He looked at the curve of her waist that was revealed when she bent down. It was slender and alluring. He straightened his waist as his eyes darkened.
After adjusting the water temperature, Leng Zhiyuan turned to undress him. This time, he did not squat down, so she needed to stand on tiptoes to undo his buttons. Before she could even undo a single button, her small hand was captured by him.
She raised her eyes only to meet his black eyes which were full of lust.
She wanted to draw her hand back, but her vision was blocked as he lowered his head towards her.
“Ah, Zhou Yao!” She quickly pressed her little hand to his chest and dodged her face. “Don’t forget that you have to leave at four in the morning. You can’t…”
“Little thing, deliberately tormenting me? Don’t you know what’s on my mind?” He scolded her in a low voice.
