Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

In the hotel room, the warm yellow wall lamp cast a soft glow, enhancing the ambiguous atmosphere to the extreme.

The air was filled with the faint fragrance of orchids emanating from Xi Wanqing, mixed with the fresh scent of shower gel, like a silent aphrodisiac, quietly seeping into every pore of Liu Ming's body.

He looked down at the cold room key in his palm, then looked up at the woman in front of him, her pretty face as red as a ripe apple, yet she stubbornly met his gaze with her clear, cold eyes.

Liu Ming's heart felt as if it had been gently scratched by a soft little hand.

It feels itchy and numb.

He smiled.

He didn't pounce on her like a lustful wolf.

He didn't run away like a clueless block of wood.

He simply reached out and, quite naturally, pulled Xi Wanqing back into his arms.

Then, he embraced her tightly in a domineering yet tender manner.

"Well……"

Xi Wanqing gasped and crashed into his solid chest.

That familiar, reassuring masculine aura instantly enveloped her.

She felt her heart, which had been pounding wildly with nervousness and shyness, miraculously calm down at that moment.

She stopped struggling.

Instead, like a kitten that has found its harbor, she obediently buried her face in his chest, greedily absorbing the warmth that made her feel incredibly safe and secure.

……

There was no kindling to fuel a raging fire.

There was no thunder or fire.

There wasn't even a single kiss that crossed the line.

The two of them sat quietly in each other's arms on the soft sofa.

It was as if time itself had stood still for them at that moment.

"Liu Ming".

After a long while, Xi Wanqing's muffled voice came from his arms.

"Um?"

"I miss you."

Her voice was very soft, as soft as a feather, gently brushing against Liu Ming's heart.

But this tough guy, who remained unfazed even amidst a hail of bullets, stiffened almost imperceptibly.

"After you left, Qingyun County seemed to suddenly become empty."

"Although County Chief Wen is still here, Director Lei and the others are also very helpful. The projects are progressing in an orderly manner."

"But... I feel like something's missing."

"During meetings, you will no longer hear that voice that dared to throw down the manuscript and berate the experts in front of everyone."

"When trouble comes, you can no longer see that figure who always stands in front of everyone and shoulders all the problems alone."

"even……"

She paused, her voice carrying a hint of grievance and... dependence that she herself didn't even realize.

"...When I work overtime at night, I can no longer have that bowl of hot millet porridge that you insisted on giving me."

As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears again.

Liu Ming did not speak.

He simply reached out and hugged her even tighter.

He knew this woman who always presented herself as an indestructible iceberg in front of outsiders.

Actually, I'm softer inside than anyone else.

He was more lonely than anyone else.

"fool."

He lowered his head and gently placed a tender kiss on her smooth forehead.

"Here I am, aren't I?"

……

That night, the two talked a lot.

The conversation started with the newly started highway in Qingyun County, and then drifted to the bottomless murky waters of Ningzhou City.

They talked about their unknown pasts and then about the future, which was full of unknowns yet incredibly exciting.

They were like two travelers who had been walking alone in the darkness for far too long.

Finally, at this moment, I found a companion with whom I could lean on and keep each other warm.

When the sky outside the window begins to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

Xi Wanqing had already leaned on Liu Ming's shoulder and fallen into a deep sleep.

A faint tear stain still clung to her face.

But a long-lost, reassuring smile appeared on his lips.

Liu Ming didn't sleep all night.

He looked down at the woman in his arms, who was as serene and beautiful as Sleeping Beauty.

Look at her long eyelashes, trembling slightly as she sleeps.

His heart, which had become somewhat cold and hardened due to years of killing and scheming, became incredibly soft at this moment.

he knows.

I think I've really messed up.

He fell for this woman who appeared cold as ice but had a heart as fiery as fire.

He slowly lowered his head.

He gently placed a tender good morning kiss on her red lips, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Then, he carefully laid her flat on the sofa and covered her with a thin blanket.

He didn't touch the room key that symbolized an "invitation".

I didn't go to sleep either; the big, empty bed remained empty.

A wise person knows what to do and what not to do.

He loves her.

Therefore, he should respect her even more.

He walked to the window and drew back the curtains.

A brand new sun is rising from the horizon!

A blinding golden light instantly dispelled all the darkness!

The entire city was dyed a golden hue, brimming with hope!

Liu Ming looked at the rising sun, her eyes becoming incredibly determined.

He knew he could no longer indulge in this fleeting paradise of pleasure.

The battlefield in Qingyun County has been temporarily pacified.

But the bigger and more dangerous battlefield of Ningzhou has only just begun.

Whether it was for revenge for his father or not.

It was all to protect the woman in his arms, the woman he wanted to cherish for the rest of his life.

He must become stronger!

Climb higher!

Until one day, he will be able to truly trample all the rules under his feet!

Take control of your destiny!

"Late Qing".

He glanced back at the woman who was still fast asleep, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"wait for me."

"Wait until I conquer a kingdom for you that no one will dare to covet again."

After saying that, he resolutely turned around, opened the door, and strode out.

A brand new day has begun outside the door.

It is also a brand new battle.

The two agreed to work hard on their respective battlefields for a shared future.
