You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

Qin Ran walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and was instantly captivated by the view outside.

The night view of Victoria Harbour unfolds like a flowing scroll studded with countless diamonds at your feet.

The sea breeze blows, the curtains sway gently, and the distant neon lights and nearby lights reflect each other, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

"Junior, come and see! This floor-to-ceiling window is huge! The view is so beautiful!" Qin Ran's voice was full of surprise. She stood in front of the window, as excited as a little girl.

Suddenly, she noticed a large, cushioned platform below the window, perfect for sitting down and enjoying the night view.

"what?"

Qin Ran squatted down with some curiosity and touched the platform.

"So the presidential suite has a bay window? I thought only ordinary people in mainland China would put a bay window under the window to maximize space. I didn't expect such a high-end hotel to have this design."

She looked up at Shen Wang with an innocent expression and a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Shen Wang slowly walked behind her, his gaze falling on the large bay window sill, and a meaningful smile slowly appeared on his lips.

He leaned down slightly, his warm breath brushing against Qin Ran's sensitive earlobe, his voice low and tinged with a hint of teasing:

"Senior...this isn't a bay window."

Qin Ran was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "What is that?"

"fort."

Qin Ran's mind went blank for a second.

The next second, she suddenly realized the meaning behind those two words, and her cheeks flushed red from her ears to her neck.

In those watery eyes, shyness and a certain ignited flame intertwined, and she almost collapsed into Shen Wang's arms.

"You...you..."

Her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence; she only felt her whole body burning up.

Shen Wang did not give her another chance to speak.

He reached out and gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pulling her closer to him.

"Senior, weren't you going to have a lavish meal that costs hundreds of millions...?"

Shen Wang's lips curled up slightly; the scenery before him was truly beautiful!

This floor-to-ceiling window is too round... no, too long... no, this floor-to-ceiling window is too big...

……

The next day.

Sunlight peeked in through the gap in the curtains, which weren't fully drawn, drawing a bright golden line on the floor.

Shen Wang stirred, his consciousness slowly surfacing from deep sleep.

There was a warm, soft body in my arms, with even, rising and falling breaths.

He looked down and saw Qin Ran curled up in his arms like a tired kitten, her sleeping face peaceful, her eyelashes casting a light shadow on her eyelids, so docile that it softened his heart.

Last night's absurd fragments flashed through my mind—the night view of Victoria Harbour, the battle on the fort, and the multi-million dollar feast…

Shen Wang's lips unconsciously curled up.

The person in his arms seemed to sense his movement; their eyelashes fluttered, and they slowly woke up.

The moment those sleepy eyes opened, they met Shen Wang's smiling gaze.

Qin Ran was stunned for half a second, and then the memories of last night flooded back like a tide.

Her face flushed instantly, and she instinctively buried her head in Shen Wang's arms, muttering in a low voice:

"You little rascal..."

Her voice was soft and sweet, without a trace of scolding; it was clearly a coquettish tone.

Shen Wang chuckled, tightening his grip on her arm and resting his chin on the top of her head: "Hmm? Who are you calling names? Who was it that hugged me and said..."

"Don't tell!"

Qin Ran hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth, her cheeks burning hot, and even her ears turned bright red.

Shen Wang took her hand and kissed it.

In the morning light, her eyes were moist, carrying the languor and shyness of someone just awakened, and a hint of unconcealed longing.

The two lay there quietly, neither of them speaking.

Qin Ran's fingers unconsciously traced circles on his chest. As she drew, she tilted her head back and whispered:

"Junior...are you busy next?"

Shen Wang didn't answer immediately, but looked down at her.

She paused, then, as if gathering her courage, continued, "My supervisor approved several days of leave for me... He said I should take my time to recover and come back to work when I'm feeling better. So..."

Her eyes sparkled with a cautious anticipation.

"I can spend a few more days with you in Hong Kong! We can go to Victoria Peak, Disneyland, and explore those old neighborhoods... I've checked the travel guides, there are lots of good places to eat..."

She got more and more excited as she spoke, and the light in her eyes was as pure as a child receiving candy.

Shen Wang looked at her, suddenly feeling a little dazed.

Qin Ran's current appearance bears no resemblance whatsoever to the student council president she once was.

She's clearly a young girl just beginning to experience love, her heart and eyes filled with the person she likes.

Qin Ran secretly wondered to herself – is this love?

Having lived for over twenty years, this is the first time I've felt this way about someone.

It wasn't about weighing options, calculating, or because of his money or background; it was simply about wanting to be by his side, to see him smile, to hear him speak, and to be able to see him the first thing I saw when I woke up.

What she seems to covet is not anything else, but the person himself.

After recounting a long list of plans, Qin Ran looked up at Shen Wang expectantly, waiting for him to nod.

Shen Wang remained silent for two seconds.

Then, he gently shook his head.

"Maybe next time."

The light in Qin Ran's eyes visibly dimmed for a moment.

But she quickly suppressed her disappointment, smiled gently, and said in a soft voice, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say, junior."

Shen Wang looked at her, and a string in his heart was gently plucked.

Who says beautiful women are always unreasonable? The one in front of me is so understanding that it's heartbreaking.

He pinched her cheek: "You really want to stay?"

Qin Ran nodded, then shook her head, and said with a smile, "I'd like to, but you must have important things to do. I'm not an immature little girl. You go ahead and do your thing, and we'll... talk about it next time."

Shen Wang didn't say anything more, but simply pulled her closer to him.

To be honest, he also wanted to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days.

With over 600 million yuan in cash in his pocket, who wouldn't want to indulge in a decadent lifestyle?

Those Michelin-starred restaurants, private yachts, and luxury stores that could only be seen in short videos before can now be scrolled past without blinking.

He also wanted to try chartering a yacht in Victoria Harbour, drinking red wine on the viewing platform at Victoria Peak, and being surrounded by people in those shops that only cater to top VIPs.

But that won't work.

Time is something we can't afford to waste there.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers were still waiting, and the nearly depleted granaries in the base area were still waiting.

With the money in place, the next step is a large-scale procurement.

Food, clothing, medicine, tools... the sooner these things are delivered, the more people can be saved and more people can be fed and clothed.

He'll have plenty of opportunities to fall into depravity later, but he can't afford to waste time now.

The two lingered for a while longer before getting up to wash and brush their teeth.

Lunch at the Rosewood Hotel did not disappoint.

The dishes were so exquisite they looked like works of art, the view of Victoria Harbour from the window was unbeatable, and the gentle glances from those around me made for a very comfortable meal.

After the meal, Shen Wang called Xin Quan.

The phone rang for a while before being answered. Xin Quan's weak but trying-to-stay-at-home voice came through the other end: "Big...Big Brother?"
