Finally, Xie Huaizhen coaxed Shu Xue for a while until she was happy again.

After they ate, Xie Huaizhen had to go to training. He said to Shu Xue, “You should head back first. I’ll come find you when I’m on break.”

After all, he was on a military base now and was under strict control; he couldn’t just leave whenever he wanted.

“Alright, I’ll go back then. You make sure to rest too, don’t overwork yourself.” Shu Xue looked at Xie Huaizhen, reluctant to part.

‘Ugh, even though I’m here with Xie Huaizhen now, the time we can actually spend together is so short.’

Shu Xue was still a little unhappy.

But what could she do? That’s what happens when you’re with a soldier.

They had always been busy, and now that Xie Huaizhen was a regiment commander responsible for so many people, he was in even higher demand.

Shu Xue turned and walked back toward the guest house.

She had taken a week off, so she didn’t have much time to stay, as she had to account for the travel time back to school.

But she cherished this time with Xie Huaizhen, and her actions grew bolder. She was either hugging Xie Huaizhen or kissing him. When the two of them went for walks outside at night, Shu Xue would sneak a kiss whenever no one was around.

Kissing outside felt completely different from kissing in the guest house.

There was a secret thrill to it that excited Shu Xue immensely.

But every time she stole a kiss, Xie Huaizhen would stop her, holding her still so she couldn’t move.

“Can you not do this in public?” Xie Huaizhen frowned at Shu Xue.

Shu Xue pouted. “Why are you so cautious? I think I’m being fine, not doing anything too outrageous. Look around, is there anyone here? It’s pitch-black, no one can see a thing!”

After all, she was actually being very careful when she did it, making sure no one would see!

Xie Huaizhen’s gaze swept across their surroundings. But even if no one was there, it still felt strange!

He had already accepted that Shu Xue would kiss him at the drop of a hat, but he still couldn’t accept her kissing him out in the open.

Even if there was no one around, it just always felt strange to Xie Huaizhen.

‘Looks like I’m really not as uninhibited as Shu Xue.’

At this thought, Xie Huaizhen couldn’t help but sigh. Shu Xue was still rambling on behind him. “Xie Huaizhen, what’s wrong with you? Can’t you be a man and be a little bolder? I think Xie Huaizheng is very bold! I once saw him and that Su Zhaozhao when they were dating. They were very intimate even in front of many people. Why can’t you be like that?”

Shu Xue’s words caused a sudden surge of anger to well up inside Xie Huaizhen.

No man is willing to be compared to another like that by a woman, especially the woman he likes.

Listening to Shu Xue’s chattering, Xie Huaizhen only grew more and more irritated. Finally, he grabbed her, pinned her against a tree, and then lowered his head to seal her lips with his.

The man’s kiss was scorching, carrying a blazing anger that burned Shu Xue.

His kiss wasn’t a fleeting touch like Shu Xue’s. It was deeper, drawing in her sweet scent and softness, silencing her chattering mouth.

Before, it had almost always been Shu Xue who initiated things. Occasionally, she would beg Xie Huaizhen to take the lead, but he would only ever give a light, fleeting peck.

This was the first time he had been so deep, his kiss tangling with her lips and teeth. Pinned against the tree trunk, Shu Xue’s eyes were wide as she stared at the man before her.

The man who was usually so cool and aloof, with the air of a high-hanging moon, now seemed like an insatiable beast, his cold eyes hiding a raw desire.

One of his rough, calloused hands caressed Shu Xue’s jaw while his other arm wrapped around her waist.

His tall frame was pressed almost completely against Shu Xue’s. Feeling the girl’s soft body, he felt the beast of desire roar within him.

This was the first time he had ever kissed Shu Xue so aggressively, without any of his usual gentleness.

‘Is this it?’

‘Is this what Shu Xue likes?’ he wondered.

He didn’t want to imitate Xie Huaizheng, but he couldn’t stop himself, and the heat in his body only grew more intense.

He didn’t know how long had passed before he finally let Shu Xue go. She had been holding her breath for so long that she was about to pass out, collapsing into his arms.

Xie Huaizhen wrapped his arms around her. Seeing the girl limp and weak, a small smile played on his thin lips. “So, is this what you like?”

“Xie Huaizhen, you really are something!” Shu Xue gasped for breath before saying weakly, “Just like that. You’d better treat me like this from now on. I like you rough like this, not all ‘gentle breeze and bright moon.'”

Shu Xue rambled on.

Hearing her words, the man’s eyes darkened. ‘This girl… does she have any idea what those kinds of words mean to a man?’

‘For her to dare say something like that, she’s really…’

‘It’s a good thing she met me. I can control myself and won’t do anything more than kissing before we’re married.’

To be honest, Xie Huaizhen had originally thought that even this kind of kissing was a bit too much. But Shu Xue’s words tonight had provoked him.

At that moment, the man’s eyes narrowed, his gaze falling on the girl’s lips, which were red and swollen from his kisses, as if rouged.

“Ah Xue, I don’t want to hear you comparing me to another man ever again.”

Especially when that other man was Shu Xue’s former fiancé. The reason Shu Xue had run away to this place and met him was because of that man.

It always gave him the feeling that he was just a substitute.

Hearing the cold edge in Xie Huaizhen’s tone, Shu Xue quickly tried to placate him. “It was my fault, I’m so sorry. I won’t do it again. I’m sorry.”

Shu Xue also realized her mistake. How could she compare her boyfriend to another man?

‘Xie Huaizhen must be really angry.’

She also promised, “You’re the only one in my heart, no one else. So you can rest assured. I just… I have a loose tongue. Besides, you know, I came from so far away, and I have to go back tomorrow.”

As she said this, Shu Xue felt a little sad.

Hearing her pitiful words, Xie Huaizhen’s anger dissipated. He reached out, pulled Shu Xue into his arms, and said softly, “Sorry, it’s my fault too.”

“It’s okay, let’s not apologize to each other. Anyway, you just have to remember that you belong to me. When I go back, I’ll keep writing to you. And when I have summer vacation, I’ll come find you again!”

“Okay.” Xie Huaizhen smiled.

After that, Shu Xue wrote to Xie Huaizhen constantly. They would also talk on the phone sometimes. This continued until summer vacation, when Shu Xue asked if he could go back to her hometown with her.

“I want to introduce you to my parents and my grandpa,” Shu Xue said. “They know I’m seeing someone, and they’re very excited.”
