A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

"Achoo, achoo..."

Ye Wenxi sneezed twice in a row.

"Huh? Who insulted me?" she sniffed and muttered.

"Maybe two people are thinking of you," Lu Weihua said, raising an eyebrow with a pointed remark.

After she finished speaking, she and Lu Xiaojun exchanged a glance, their smiles knowing and meaningful.

"Do you two have something wrong with your eyes?"

Ye Wenxi sensed something was off in their eyes and started cursing as she packed her things.

Tomorrow, Lu Weihua and Lu Xiaojun will return to Harbin.

She and Lu Weidong cooked a delicious meal tonight.

The group had just finished eating, and Lu Weidong was washing the dishes.

Ye Wenxi decided to go back to Harbin with them. Coincidentally, Lu Weidong was about to start a military exercise and he was not at home these days.

She had almost finished the design drafts that Li Yuejin had assigned her last time. This time, she planned to deliver them in person and also visit the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts and the Light Industry Bureau.

Ye Wenxi took out several pairs of knee pads she had made and gave instructions to Lu Weidong as he came out:

"Make sure you bring these knee braces."

"These two pairs are for keeping warm; bring them with you when you go to cold places."

"These two pairs are elastic and can protect your knees. Wear them during training."

"Huh? You made this for me?"

Looking at the knee pads, Lu Weidong felt incredibly happy.

"Yes, this is my first time making knee braces, so it's not very good."

Lu Weidong pulled her into a tight embrace, his face full of smiles.

"I will definitely wear what you make."

"Good boy~" Ye Wenxi said, touching his face.

The smiles on these two people's faces were so sweet that the two drama queens next to them were about to get diabetes.

One person was pretending to gouge out their own eyes, while the other was covering their ears and rolling their eyes.

"Xiao Jun," Lu Weidong called out.

Lu Xiaojun covered his ears and didn't hear it.

Lu Weidong walked over and tapped each of them on the head.

"Huh? What's wrong, Uncle?" Lu Xiaojun finally let go of her hand. "Are you two finished talking? If not, I'll keep covering you."

"Snap—"

Lu Weidong patted him again.

"You're so cheeky. Let me tell you something serious."

This time, Lu Xiaojun sat up straight.

"He knows you're in your final year of junior high and about to go to high school."

Lu Weidong paused.

"He said...if he doesn't get into a good high school, he'll have to give up."

Lu Xiaojun's expression instantly turned serious.

Lu Weidong looked into his eyes and raised his head slightly:

"Is it possible?"

"Yes! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Lu Xiaojun's answer was as loud as a thunderclap, so loud that Ye Wenxi covered her ears.

"Okay, Uncle is waiting for your good news."

"If you do well on the exam, you can come back during the summer vacation. Next time you come, you can do some training."

"Really?" Lu Xiaojun's eyes lit up, then he seemed to remember something.

"But Instructor Su will be going back after the exercise, won't she?"

As soon as he said that, he was hit on the back of the head again.

"Can't I scold you? Why do you have to go to him?" Lu Weidong said irritably.

Ye Wenxi also stood up for Lu Weidong:

"Your second uncle was the second-place winner in the military region's all-around skills competition!"

"Wow, Uncle, you're amazing!" Lu Xiaojun exclaimed with admiration, then couldn't help but say...

"What about Instructor Su? What was his ranking?"

Lu Weidong: "......."

Ye Wenxi: "......."

......

After seeing off the two troublemakers, Ye Wenxi finished packing her things.

Besides his own clothes, he also brought some clothes he had made for the Lu family, as well as some rare foods...

After packing the last few things, Ye Wenxi glanced at Lu Weidong, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

She just stood there, motionless, watching quietly.

Lu Weidong sensed her gaze.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" he asked, looking up.

"I'm thinking about how to put you in my pocket and take you with me," Ye Wenxi said earnestly.

Lu Weidong was amused by her words and waved.

Ye Wenxi, unusually, clung to him like a kitten.

She lay on his lap, pressed her face against his firm abs, closed her eyes tightly, and breathed deeply.

She rubbed her face against him, she hugged him, and she inhaled deeply the comforting scent emanating from Lu Weidong.

I still couldn't suppress my worry about his upcoming participation in the military exercise.

Worry and reluctance surged up like a tide, refusing to recede.

Lu Weidong noticed her emotions.

"It's really nothing. Before, I was a company commander, so I had to be at the front. Now my position is different. Have you ever seen a chief of staff who doesn't oversee things from the front and personally carries a gun?"

"Um..."

Ye Wenxi simply responded with a soft "yes," clearly not having dispelled her concerns.

Lu Weidong kept trying to comfort her, saying things that would reassure her.

suddenly.

Ye Wenxi kept rubbing against him like a kitten, then stopped moving.

As if he had suddenly figured something out, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"I'm really not in danger, this time I..."

"Lu Weidong".

She called out softly, interrupting him.

"Hmm?" Lu Weidong looked down at her in his arms.

She didn't speak immediately, but frowned slightly, as if she was trying to figure out how to express her thoughts at that moment.

Then she took a deep breath, still burying her face in his chest.

"I always leave myself room for maneuver and a way out."

"I'm not very good at loving people. I also can't rely on someone completely without reservation."

She didn't look at him when she said those words.

Lu Weidong clearly didn't expect her to suddenly say something so profound.

He didn't speak, but continued to listen.

"In this respect, you are better than me."

Ye Wenxi paused, turned her head, and met Lu Weidong's eyes.

"Your love is the most profound I can imagine in my life."

"That's something that no sweet words or intimate tenderness can replace."

Lu Weidong's pupils suddenly dilated, his expression one of utter shock and complexity.

He couldn't imagine that a woman could express love so clearly, or so honestly reveal herself.

"If..." Ye Wenxi looked into his eyes.

"If this is the deepest form of love."

"Then, I'm willing to learn from you."

"Just like you did for me, support and let go."

Ye Wenxi took a deep breath, as if using all her strength to support herself in saying the next words:

"So please put your family and me behind you."

"To fulfill one's mission as a soldier with dignity and without hindrance."

"To be the best soldier, to give your all, and to leave no regrets!"

The room was so quiet that you could hear the snow falling outside the window.

Lu Weidong's mouth was slightly open, his mind blank as these words bombarded him.

Then, he felt a lump in his throat.

He felt it strongly; a pair of gentle, fleshy hands steadily held him up.

That steel body, which had always supported others, was being supported in this way for the first time.

He knew that Ye Wenxi was showing him through his actions:

There's no need to hide yourself away, no need to shoulder everything alone.

I will catch you, even though I am just as reluctant to let you go.

But I don't want you to have any regrets.

Lu Weidong remained silent, as did Ye Wenxi; no words could describe their feelings at that moment.

Only their embracing arms tightened more and more.

Ye Wenxi, who comes from another world, is both lucid and uneasy.

She is sensitive, she overthinks, and she always leaves herself a way out.

Now, she is returning the love she learned to him.

Let him go to the glacier, to the snowfield, let him go wherever he is meant to go.

Let him be the person he most wants to be, with dignity and without constraints.

She said, "Please put me behind you."

This is the most profound love that Ye Wenxi learned from Lu Weidong.
