After several soldiers picked up the things on the ground, they disappeared in a few seconds. Ye Xingchen stood there, still hesitant.
"Sister-in-law, let's go quickly!" Li Yi turned around and shouted from a distance.
"Oh, here we come!" After being urged, Ye Xingchen took a deep breath before taking steps to follow.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a familiar figure in the house. To be honest, even if she hadn't seen him for many days, she still had a very clear picture of him in her mind. The strong aura on his body could be heard even from a long distance away.
Feel it strongly and clearly.
In the living room, the lighting is very good, and the huge space is very bright. Lou Xi is not idle. He is squatting on the ground and wrapping the four corners of the coffee table with cotton. Because Sisi sometimes stumbles when walking, she is afraid that the little girl will be injured, so she bought it.
Some cotton came back, wrapped in cloth, and sewn into small squares, ready to be wrapped on the four corners of the coffee table. The small squares were sewn, but before they had time to tie them up, she didn't expect him to help her do it first.
She saw that his slender hands, the ones that often held steel guns, were playing with soft cotton balls at the moment, and they were so pleasing to the eye.
Sensing the sound of footsteps, Lou Xi slowly raised his head and looked at her. Ye Xingchen suddenly became embarrassed, clutching the strap of the bag tightly with his fingers, his eyes flickering, but he didn't dare to look at him.
Lou Xi's eyes fell heavily on her. Her long hair was straight and shiny, and it softly set off her beautiful face. But...why did she lose weight again?
"Come in!"
"Ah? Oh!"
Ye Xingchen hurriedly took a step forward and closed the door with his backhand. When he bent down to change his shoes, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. Why was he so nervous when he saw him?
His face secretly blushed, and just as he was about to stand up, his legs were suddenly hugged tightly.
"Mama..." Sisi staggered over and hugged her.
"Sisi..." As soon as the soft little girl fell into his arms, Ye Xingchen's heart suddenly softened. She hadn't seen her for several days and she wanted to miss her so much.
"Mama, I miss you...and daddy..." The past two weeks have tortured the little girl to pieces.
"Mom misses you too." Ye Xingchen said subconsciously. After finishing speaking, he was suddenly startled.
Oh my God, what did she say?
you?
They?!
The movement of Lou Xi's hand suddenly stopped, and his stern face showed a slight softening.
Ye Xingchen glanced secretly in the direction of the coffee table with his peripheral vision, and saw the curve of the corner of his mouth that looked like a smile, and suddenly felt so embarrassed that he wanted to bite off his tongue.
"Sisi, come here, mommy bought you delicious food." She quickly picked up Sisi and ran away.
◎◎◎
After playing with Sisi for a while, Ye Xingchen prepared to cook. Li Yi and others scrambled to help, but she quickly declined. They were guests, so there was no reason to let guests do anything.
After washing her hands, putting on her apron, she got into the kitchen.
Lou Xi wrapped the four corners of the coffee table and some stool legs. After all the safety hazards in the room were eliminated, he put away the cotton and put it in the drawer.
He stood up gently, walking like a panther, and silently walked towards the kitchen. The range hood was roaring, and through the frosted glass door, he could clearly see the busy figure wearing a plaid apron inside.
Ye Xingchen was preparing to make soy beef. It had been washed and cut, and was about to be put into a pot to blanch. There was a large pot of water rolling on the induction cooker. She first threw a few slices of ginger into it, then a few scallions, and then
Then the beef was skillfully put into the pot of boiling water.
The beef needed to be cooked for about five minutes. Taking advantage of the short interval, she quickly packed away the things on the sink and washed the tools she had just used and returned them to their places.
She took the cutting board under the faucet and rinsed it, as well as the kitchen knife. There was some minced meat on the blade, and she stretched out her fingers to wipe it off.
"Be careful!" he shouted in a deep voice.
Ye Xingchen was startled and almost dropped the kitchen knife in his hand, staring blankly at the man who broke into the kitchen at some point.
Her vision went dark, and his tall figure quickly came to her, taking the kitchen knife from her hand with his big hand, "I'll do it."
He gently wiped off the minced meat on the blade with his fingertips, then rinsed it under the faucet and wiped it dry.
"Whoosh--" There was a sound from the induction cooker, and water poured out.
ah!
Ye Xingchen was startled again. He quickly turned off the fire, then reached out to rescue the boiling pot, and his fingertips suddenly felt hot!
"Are you okay?" He generously grabbed her hand.
"Ah——" She was frightened for the third time.
"Can you cook?" Lou Xi's face was a little gloomy. He took her hand and rinsed it with cold water under the faucet. Then he held it and looked carefully. The tip of his index finger was slightly red. He gently put it to his lips.
call.
Ye Xingchen was completely stunned. His breath was blowing on her hands. The feeling was... itchy and weird. He was obviously blowing cold air, but her face was hot, and even her whole body was tingling.
hot.
There seemed to be tenderness and compassion in his inadvertent actions, which made her feel crazy.
"No, it's okay...it's just a slight burn..." She tried to pull her hand away, but he refused to let go.
"It's really okay..." She blushed, still struggling gently in his arms.
After a while, Lou Xi finally relaxed his strength, but he did not completely let her go. Instead, he put his arms on the countertop, his body not touching her, but the body temperature and breath emanating from his body tightly surrounded her.
Ye Xingchen tensed her body nervously, with her waist pressed against the counter. When she raised her eyes to meet his gaze, her heart beat wildly, as if there was a little rabbit in her arms, and it kept beating.
"You, why did you come in?" Her breath was unstable. The two of them were so close, and his good smell rushed into her nasal cavity, making her feel dizzy.
"Well..." She bit her lip hard, but a little sound still leaked out.
Is it too hot in the kitchen? Why do you feel like you have a fever?
There seemed to be something flowing in her blood vessels, warm and moist. She had to grit her teeth to hold back from making a sound. She didn't know why. She felt that the sound was a bit shameful and scared her.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, but he raised her chin with two fingers. His movements were gentle but powerful. Forced, she saw the handsome face close at hand, and his deep eyes seemed to be filled with magic.
, causing people to sink.
He lowered his head and pressed his thin lips towards her. She backed away nervously, but there was no way out. When he kissed her with irresistible force, she closed her eyes subconsciously, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Her body tensed up, then became weak and soft again, and his tongue went deep and shallow, sometimes gentle, sometimes wild, full of domineering, almost taking away all the breath from her.
When her lips finally parted, she realized in a daze that her whole body had completely fallen into his arms, his body was tensed, and the desire in his eyes was so obvious.
"You... get out quickly, I'm going to cook!" She quickly pushed him away and turned her back.
With her back to him, her senses became more sensitive. Lou Xi's unique aura spurted out from behind her ears, surrounding her and not allowing her to struggle in the slightest.
He hugged her intimately from behind again, and a deep male voice fell in his ears, "I'm hungry."
The smell made her feel numb. She shrank and said casually, "So I have to cook quickly!"
"Do you know what I want to 'eat' the most?" His male voice was particularly deep.
"What?" She followed his question and asked innocently.
He didn't answer. He held her shoulders and pulled her towards him. His eyes became dark, and there seemed to be passionate flames in his eyes. He stared at her straight, which was a bit intriguing.
"I'll tell you later." He suddenly smiled, nudged her with his nose, then let her go and strode out of the kitchen.
Ye Xingchen's body relaxed, but his nerves became even tighter.
◎◎◎
Because there were more people and more food was cooked, it took a bit more time. It was almost one o'clock when we had lunch, but the soldiers didn't mind at all. What they ate or when they ate didn't matter. It's this atmosphere.
Having been in the army all year round, they have lived in a large group, so they especially like the atmosphere of a small home. There are eight or nine people crowded in front of the small dining table, and they can't even stretch their arms, but it doesn't matter.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work. Come on, let me toast you!" Li Yi took the lead in raising his glass.
Ye Xingchen quickly raised his glass and touched it to him, said you're welcome, and then took a sip of beer.
"Sister-in-law, I respect you too!" Xiao Liu also stood up.
She responded quickly.
The soldiers were very enthusiastic and soon came over to toast Ye Xingchen.
"Come on, sister-in-law, I'll toast you too!"
"Sister-in-law, I will go to the army often when I have time in the future!"
"Thank you... thank you..." Ye Xingchen clinked glasses with everyone one by one. Although she only took a small sip each time, with so many people taking turns, she had almost enough beer. She was so drunk that after a while, she... The face is a little red.
Lou Xi knew that everyone was trying to trick her, so he reached out to take her wine glass and said in a deep voice, "She doesn't know how to drink, so I'll drink for her."
"Hey, battalion commander, you are protecting your sister-in-law!"
"Battal Commander, we want to honor our sister-in-law, why do you drink on our behalf?"
"Of course, it's not impossible if you want to drink for me, but you have to go one-on-one, don't you think so?"
"yes!"
The soldiers started to boo, and Lou Xi refused everyone who came. If he didn't drink these people down first, he wouldn't be able to calm down today!
Ye Xingchen was moved when he saw Lou Xi blocking the drink for him, but he couldn't help but worry that drinking so much before he even had a few bites of food would be bad for his stomach.
She secretly tugged on his sleeve and whispered, "Drink less..."
Her movements were careful, but she didn't expect someone to see her.
"Hey, battalion commander, my sister-in-law wants you to drink less!"
"Sister-in-law, you feel sorry for the battalion commander!"
"Sister-in-law is so gentle!"
"..."
"Hey, sister-in-law, what's wrong with your mouth?" someone deliberately teased.
Ye Xingchen was shocked and subconsciously covered his mouth.
In fact, there weren't many marks on her lips. It's just that everyone had already noticed that Lou Xi had been wandering into the kitchen for a long time. He thought with his toes that he had done something good, but after all, he couldn't confirm it, but Ye Xingchen If you cover your mouth like this, you will be left with three hundred taels of silver.
Everyone laughed.
"oh……"
"Battal Commander, you must be impatient. It's still broad daylight!"
"Yes, and the mouth was too harsh. Look at my sister-in-law, her mouth is swollen!"
"Really, I don't know how to show mercy at all!"
"Batalion Commander, you are such a beast!"
"That's just showing off!"
"Sister-in-law, I will make him stand in a military posture tonight!"
"No, no, no, let's do three thousand push-ups as a penalty!"
Ye Xingchen was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself. He grabbed the cup in a panic and wanted to take a sip of something to cover up his embarrassment, but he forgot that his cup had already been taken away by Lou Xi.
Yes, when she grabbed it, it was actually his!
"Cough...cough..." Baijiu!
When she reacted, it was already too late. A large mouthful of hot white wine was poured down her throat, burning her stomach, and her face was so red that it was dripping with water. There was a "buzz" sound, and the alcohol hit her head, and she suddenly felt
The world is spinning.
"Yeah, sister-in-law is drunk!"
"Well, why don't we withdraw and let my sister-in-law have a good rest!"
"With the battalion commander here, can my sister-in-law have a 'rest'?"
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen became even more dizzy.
"Sister-in-law, let's go then!"
"Batalion Commander, take good care of my sister-in-law and be gentle!"
Ye Xingchen was so embarrassed that he almost collapsed, but Lou Xi still took his time, glanced at the group of soldiers, and uttered two words from his thin lips, "No!"
The soldiers laughed, stood up one by one, and prepared to leave, but before leaving, they did not forget to help her clear the table, put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen sink, clean the table, and return the stools to their original positions.
"Um...you can take these fruits home and eat them!" Ye Xingchen said quickly.
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law!"
Each of them took an apple and an orange and went downstairs happily. Ye Xingchen wanted to give them away, but when he got up, he felt dizzy again. Lou Xi quickly supported her and wrapped his big hands firmly around her waist.
"Batalion Commander, sister-in-law, goodbye!"
"Battal Commander, you must not be too beastly!"
boom--
The door closed and everyone left.
◎◎◎
The room suddenly became quiet, but Ye Xingchen's head was still buzzing.
There was only a plate of fruit platter left on the table. The watermelon was cut into small pieces and sprinkled with sugar. It was not finished and the soldiers did not take it away. She poked a piece with a toothpick and gave it to Lou Xi, "Let's finish this.
Otherwise it will be wasted.”
He didn't answer. She thought he didn't want to eat, so she took back her hand and wanted to eat it herself. Unexpectedly, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and forced her to feed the watermelon to his mouth. She resisted slightly and panicked, but
Inexplicably giving up again, he lowered his head and bit into it.
He chewed slowly, and the lines on his face moved slightly, his posture was indescribably dazzling and charming, his eyes were even more burning, and his expression was very hungry, especially the firelight dancing brightly in his deep black eyes, Ye Xingchen saw it
I saw my own image clearly.
"You... haven't eaten enough?" she asked confusedly.
"I'm not full at all!" he said fiercely. The last time he ate, he didn't even know how to taste it!
Ye Xingchen was stunned for a moment and didn't react, "Huh?"
"If you don't stop me for three seconds, I'll start right away!"
She was stunned and confused.
"123!" He counted in one breath.
ah?
She was stunned.
"Time's up!" he declared in a deep voice, excitement in his tone.
"I……"
"Let's go back to the room!" He seemed to be unable to wait any longer, so he picked her up and strode towards the bedroom.
Ye Xingchen felt the world spin for a while, and his whole body was pressed on the bed by him, leaving no gap at all.
Her eyesight went dark, and she felt a shadow covering her. She looked up and saw Lou Xi's face. The scene she saw on TV before automatically came to mind. She unconsciously compared it. His face looked so bright at that time.
It flashed by, but now it really existed in front of her. Is this true?
Perhaps the alcohol gave her courage, but she unexpectedly stretched out her hand and touched his cheek.
Perhaps her nymphomaniacal behavior pleased him, Lou Xi's mood suddenly improved, he lowered his head slightly, kissed her gently on her forehead, and said jokingly, "Why, you look stupid, it's only been a few days, and I haven't been here for a long time."
Have you met your husband?"
Ye Xingchen blinked slightly, his eyes flickering, husband?
This title made her a little uncomfortable, and she murmured in surprise, "Husband?"
"Yes." His voice was low and slightly hoarse, and his gradually thicker breath was full of domineeringness that she could not refuse.
Ye Xingchen was in a daze, his thoughts seemed a bit slow, and he closed his eyes like an ostrich...
