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

Shen Wang's heart skipped a beat, and then a surge of heat rushed into his heart.

He understood the subtext behind that simple question almost instantly.

A smile involuntarily curved her lips into a curve, and she leaned slightly towards Qin Ran, asking with a smile:

"Senior...would you like to come up and have a taste?"

Qin Ran did not answer immediately; the car was so quiet that the two of them could be heard breathing softly.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling, clearly indicating an intense internal struggle.

The time spent thinking seemed exceptionally long, but for Shen Wang, it was only a few seconds.

Finally, she nodded slightly and let out a barely audible "hmm" from her throat.

But then she quickly looked up, her cheeks flushed, trying to appear serious, and added, "It's a promise... it's just a taste of the wine!"

Shen Wang immediately raised one hand as if to swear an oath.

"Of course! Don't worry, senior, I'll just be drinking up there!"

"Virtue!"

Qin Ran chuckled at his joke, which eased the tense atmosphere considerably.

The two got out of the car and walked into the building entrance one after the other.

The motion-activated lights in the stairwell lit up one by one as they walked, then slowly went out after a moment of silence.

Opening the door to the rented room, the room was still simple, even a bit messy.

"The place is a bit messy, please don't mind, senior."

Shen Wang beckoned Qin Ran in and casually placed the kraft paper bag containing the Moutai liquor on the small coffee table.

Qin Ran walked in and curiously looked around at the environment, which was completely different from what she had imagined.

There was no luxury of the powerful and wealthy here, only traces of the lives of ordinary young people, which actually made her relax a little.

"It's alright, it's more lively than I imagined."

She smiled slightly, found a relatively neat spot on the sofa and sat down, but unconsciously maintained an elegant posture.

Shen Wang went to the kitchen, washed two glasses, and took out some snacks to go with the drinks. He then sat down opposite Qin Ran.

"Come on, senior, try this treasure from the provincial university."

Shen Wang poured each of their cups a little less than half a cup.

Qin Ran took the cup, and her fingertips accidentally touched Shen Wang's fingers, causing her to tremble slightly.

Shen Wang raised his glass: "Thank you for picking me up late at night, and thank you... for being willing to come up and 'try' it."

His words carried a double meaning, which Qin Ran naturally understood.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't back down. Meeting Shen Wang's gaze, she raised her glass as well: "You're welcome, junior."

The wine glasses clinked lightly, producing a crisp sound.

The first sip of wine sent a warm sensation from my throat all the way to my stomach, followed by a sweet aftertaste and a lingering fragrance.

The wine is indeed good, but at this moment, the taste of the wine seems to be no longer the most important thing.

However, it seems that Qin Ran really did come up here to drink.

Or rather, if she didn't drink to numb herself, she probably wouldn't be able to face what was to come.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere changed a bit.

The conversation gradually drifted to some interesting stories from their university days, and occasionally touched upon snippets of their work experiences.

Qin Ran spoke more than usual, and her eyes softened considerably.

Under the influence of alcohol, those bright eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of moist luster.

Shen Wang's heart began to beat faster.

Senior Ranran...she's so beautiful!

Before long, the bottle of Moutai, which was more than half full, was emptied.

When Shen Wang poured out the last two glasses of wine, and the bottle was completely empty, the air between the two seemed to freeze for a moment.

"That's all."

Shen Wang shook the empty wine bottle and looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were unfocused, and there was still a little more wine left in her glass.

She didn't speak, but simply tilted her head back slightly and drank the rest of the wine in her glass in one gulp.

This action carried a hint of decisiveness, as if it had removed the last bit of defense.

The alcohol gave her fair skin an alluring pink hue that extended all the way to her delicate collarbone.

She put down her wine glass, exhaled a breath of warm air carrying the aroma of wine, and looked at Shen Wang with a somewhat unfocused gaze.

Shen Wang felt his mouth go dry. He moved closer, his voice unconsciously becoming low and hoarse: "Senior, the wine... is finished."

"Um……"

Qin Ran responded softly, her voice barely audible.

She did not avoid Shen Wang's approach; instead, she lowered her eyelids slightly, her long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings.

What happened next seemed to be fast-forwarded, or perhaps it was a natural progression.

"Senior..."

"Um?"

"May I?"

"……Um."

"Senior, you're so beautiful..."

"Stop...stop talking..."

"Junior..."

"I am here."

"Be gentle..."

"it is good."

. . .

After half an hour.

"Senior, you actually..."

Shen Wang was stunned.

Who would have thought that Senior Ranran was actually...

"fool!"

Qin Ran gave Shen Wang a coquettish glare.

Shen Wang smiled and slowly approached again.

"Senior?"

"Um!"

"Could you...could you wear a mask?"

"Um?"

Qin Ran was taken aback. Why did she need to wear a mask?

Then, I realized what was happening.

"You... bastard!"

Qin Ran seemed angry.

"Do you know I just drank alcohol!"

"So what?" Shen Wang asked, puzzled.

A mischievous smile crept across Qin Ran's bright and beautiful face: "If I accuse you of rape, I'll win every time!"

Shen Wang: "..."

. . .

The next day.

Before eight o'clock, Qin Ran was awakened precisely by her biological clock.

As she gradually regained consciousness, Qin Ran's first sensation was a strange yet distinct ache that emanated from all parts of her body.

Especially between the waist and legs.

Fragments of last night's memories flooded her mind, instantly waking her up and causing her cheeks to burn uncontrollably.

She turned her head slightly, her gaze falling on the sleeping profile of the man beside her.

Shen Wang was sleeping soundly, appearing quiet and even somewhat childlike.

Qin Ran looked at him quietly, her feelings a mix of emotions.

She didn't know whether her decision last night was right or wrong.

With her looks, abilities, and background working in the provincial party committee, she has never lacked suitors.

Among them are many talented young people, as well as those from prominent families.

But how should I put it, Qin Ran has always been very picky.

She looked down on anything too ordinary, feeling that no one could walk alongside her on a spiritual or practical level.

She instinctively resisted those with overly prestigious backgrounds, not wanting to become a canary kept in a glamorous cage, losing herself and the meaning of her struggle.

She longed for someone to rely on, yet feared being controlled and bound.

This contradiction led her to maintain a distance and caution in her relationships.

Until Shen Wang appeared, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, breaking her established rhythm.

Ordinary family background, but prominent connections?

This contradiction actually manifested perfectly in Shen Wang!

However, Qin Ran didn't know whether her choice was right or wrong!

But in any case, at least last night was enjoyable.

Thinking of certain scenes, a faint, satisfied smile unconsciously appeared on Qin Ran's lips.

She carefully propped herself up, making sure not to wake Shen Wang, then leaned down and left a gentle kiss...
