Chang Jiansheng’s mind conjured up the image of He Shan’s face, and he didn’t know why, but he always felt a sense of familiarity with those eyes.
Especially the expression in them...
But he was sure he didn’t know this woman.
Today was their first eting.
Chang Jiansheng furrowed his brows tightly.
Then, he let it go.
No matter who this person was, she brought a letter from his brother and money, which could relieve the current financial difficulties of the family. As for future matters, he would think about them later.
Chang Jiansheng withdrew his gaze, then turned and walked into his house, closing the door tightly.
anwhile, on a road winding through the alleys, He Shan sat inside a black car with the window half-open. She sat by the window, gazing into the distance toward Chang Jiansheng’s ho, her eyes dark yet her lips carried a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
Then she softly instructed the driver in front to drive.
Soon, the car disappeared amidst the traffic on the road.
By this ti, the moon was high in the sky, the night as cool as water, the night breeze gently caressing pedestrians leisurely strolling under the trees and along the road.
Because it had rained in the Imperial Capital yesterday, the air seed a bit humid.
However, due to the relatively few tall buildings around this area, the occasional breeze blowing through made it slightly cooler than other places, yet the bustling crowd added a touch of warmth.
A shadow erged from the dark shade of a tree, heading towards the nearest phone booth.
A call was made to Gu Garden, only to find that neither Old Patriarch Gu nor Uncle Gu was there.
So he asked Uncle Li to convey the ssage to Gu Tianfeng, as he did not have the Old Patriarch’s contact at the mont.
Subsequently, he hung up the phone and swiftly vanished around the corner of the phone booth.
Looking ahead from this direction, one could see the city lit up brilliantly, neon lights flashing everywhere, amidst prosperity and clamour.
In so place in the Southwest Mountain Area, it was utterly silent, the only sound being the occasional call of animals from the forest.
Small animals and birds had already returned to their nests.
Ti passed, the lights-out call sounded, and the people at the base quickly fell into slumber.
Gu Qiaoqiao lay on the bed, already asleep.
She had gone to sleep early today; by the ti she fell asleep, Qin Yize had left the dormitory to patrol.
After completing the patrol, Qin Yize quietly opened the dormitory door, turned on a small desk lamp in the study, and under the dim yellow light, he could see into the other room. Gu Qiaoqiao appeared to be asleep because he hadn’t heard any sound from Qiaoqiao when he walked in.
Qin Yize quickly organized the docunts on the table, reviewed the day’s work, and then went to the bathroom to freshen up.
A few minutes later, he switched off the small lamp and gently climbed onto the bed.
Despite Qin Yize’s light movent, Gu Qiaoqiao still woke up.
She turned around, looking at Qin Yize sitting beside her; suddenly, she felt a bit uneasy.
The night was so quiet that it seed they could hear each other’s heartbeat.
And their soft, shallow breaths.
As this place was newly built, there were no curtains, so moonlight shone in unrestrained, making the room bright. Qin Yize also saw that Gu Qiaoqiao had woken up and spoke softly with a hint of apology, "Qiaoqiao, did I wake you?"
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head, "It’s okay, I’ve been asleep for a while."
Her voice was slightly hoarse, carrying a touch of laziness, yet it was particularly heart-stirring on this night.
Qin Yize lay down.
The camp bed was small, so when he lay down, even with two beds put together, it still felt cramped.
It seed that if one of them turned over, they might roll onto the other.
Gu Qiaoqiao awkwardly shifted a bit, turning over.
Although she had shared a bed with Qin Yize before, at that ti, she had no thoughts about him, so naturally, she felt nothing, and similarly, Qin Yize felt the sa way about her. When the two of them beca attracted to each other, setting aside their past grievances and opening their hearts to love each other, they had not lived together.
This kind of situation made both of their hearts unknowingly start pounding simultaneously.
Gu Xiaoqiao thought awkwardly, why did she wake up again? If she could sleep through till morning, wouldn’t the awkwardness be gone?
Gu Qiaoqiao was secretly annoyed.
Qin Yize, at this mont, sensed Gu Qiaoqiao’s mood and subtly adjusted his breathing.
He slowly reached out his hand toward Gu Qiaoqiao. Startled, Gu Qiaoqiao quickly asked, "What are you doing?"
Qin Yize chuckled; how did Qiaoqiao beco like a startled bird at this mont?
He spoke unhurriedly, "Although it’s hot now, it’s still a bit chilly at night."
Saying this, he picked up the thin blanket that Gu Qiaoqiao had tossed aside and gently covered her waist.
But the mont his fingers touched Gu Qiaoqiao’s slender waist, they paused for a mont.
Gu Qiaoqiao was tense, her body rigid with nerves.
She even held her breath.
Qin Yize’s starry eyes darkened slightly, and under the night sky, it was as if a glimring light flashed through.
Because of the closeness to Gu Qiaoqiao monts ago, he could only sll that familiar yet intoxicating fragrance at the tip of his nose.
His body leaned towards her, and Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand clutched the small blanket covering her waist tightly.
In the bright moonlight, Qin Yize hesitated for a mont before leaning in, gently kissing Gu Qiaoqiao on the forehead, his voice husky, "Alright, don’t be tense, I won’t touch you."
"I... I’m... not tense."
Gu Qiaoqiao stamred.
In the darkness, Qin Yize let out a soft, almost inaudible laugh.
Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly turned over, coming face to face with Qin Yize.
Under the silvery-white moonlight, a pair of starry eyes were looking deeply at her.
His beautiful lips were pursed tightly at this mont.
And those eyes seed like a deep sea.
It seed like once you looked, you would be entirely sucked into the depths of the ocean.
At this mont, the distance between them was very close.
Only a few centitres apart, their breaths audible, able to hear each other’s heartbeat.
Gu Qiaoqiao stared blankly at Qin Yuze.
On such a quiet night, sothing seed to be fernting within her heart.
At this mont, Gu Qiaoqiao’s mind was even slightly going blank.
The atmosphere before her was indescribable; she knew she seed to be entranced. Although she wanted to move away from this area to a safe distance, at this mont, Gu Qiaoqiao’s body wouldn’t move.
And she didn’t want to move either.
Under Qin Yize’s powerful yet warm presence, she was sowhat greedily absorbing it, not wanting to leave at all.
Qin Yize had already suppressed his mind’s indulgent thoughts, intending to rest...
