Chapter 113 Iron-blooded Female Soldier vs. Tsundere Researcher 15
Feeling the woman's movements, Lin Kuangye's dark eyes trembled slightly, like ripples in a deep pool.
He was about to rush over to meet her, but he heard Quan Jiuxi's cold words, "Do you regret it?"
Her hand slowly reached his earlobe, pressed it gently, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a hint of teasing, "It's too late."
Then Quan Jiuxi turned around and left. Just after taking two steps, the cool fragrance and warm body temperature of the man instantly enveloped her like an invisible net.
"Little Dumpling, I..."
Before Lin Kuangye could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist. When he came to his senses, he found himself pressed against the cold and hard wall.
Quan Jiuxi's tone was neither cold nor warm. "Sorry, it's a conditioned reflex. I don't like strangers getting close to me."
When Lin Kuangye heard the word "stranger", his heart felt as if it was hit by a heavy hammer, and he felt a dull pain.
His Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and his trembling eyelashes were like injured butterfly wings. "Sorry."
Only then did Quan Jiuxi let go of his hand and left resolutely without looking back, leaving behind only a resolute back.
Lin Kuangye stood there, rubbing his still numb wrist, which seemed to still retain her warmth, and that warmth seemed to be his last ray of hope.
He looked in the direction she left for a long time.
Does she really not want him anymore?
At this time, the wind seemed to be even colder, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground and making them swirl around his feet.
……
Two days later, Quan Jiuxi arrived at the train station and saw Lin Kuangye already waiting there, his eyes fixed on the people coming and going.
He spotted Quan Jiuxi the first time and ran over in a hurry.
Quan Jiuxi nodded slightly and walked ahead on his own.
Lin Kuangye walked up to her and asked, "Can I carry your backpack for you?"
The moment he reached out his hand, Quan Jiuxi quickly took the backpack from his hand and put it on his back, his voice as cold as ice, "Confidential."
Lin Kuangye withdrew his hand awkwardly and pinched the corner of his clothes unconsciously.
The two walked towards the train together. The air around them seemed to be frozen, and the silence was a bit depressing.
After a while, Lin Kuangye couldn't help but ask, "Where have you been these past few years?"
"confidential."
Lin Kuangye realized her slip of the tongue only after she finished speaking. The missions she performed in the special forces must not be disclosed to the outside world.
"Well, after you've taken me to the research institute, will you still leave?"
"confidential."
Lin Kuangye: "..."
He shut his mouth wisely, his expression full of disappointment.
Both of them had sleeper berths, and it would take a day and a night to get from Dahe Village to the research institute.
The seats they chose were all right on the lower berths. Even Quan Jiuxi had to sigh at Lin Kuangye's lucky physique. He originally couldn't buy any, but suddenly two people got off the bus.
After putting the package away, the two went to get some food.
Quan Jiuxi ate in silence, while Lin Kuangye pinched the chopsticks in his hand again and again, "I studied hard from the book you left behind."
Quan Jiuxi nodded and responded softly.
"I went to your house to look for you the next day, but you, you were gone." Lin Kuangye's voice was so low that it was almost a whisper.
Quan Jiuxi didn't say anything and continued to eat quietly. Just when he wanted to continue talking,
She said, "It's all in the past. It doesn't matter."
Lin Kuangye looked at her. Her rationality and calmness, her words were concise, but they were like the sharpest dagger, stabbing into his heart.
After eating, Quan Jiuxi lay down on the bed and took a nap.
Lin Kuangye returned to his seat, holding the book in his hand and trying to flip through it.
However, today, the words in the book seem to be jumping around, and I can't read a single word.
His gaze involuntarily drifted towards the sleeping woman, his eyes filled with undisguised greed as he stared at her face.
He thought about it over and over again in his mind, wanting to ask her what he should do to make her forgive him, but he was afraid that what she would say would have consequences that he could not bear.
Quan Jiuxi's keen awareness allowed her to realize that Lin Kuangye was looking at her, but she still did not open her eyes.
The train moved slowly forward. Outside the window, the sunlight shone through the mottled leaves and onto the window, and the light and shadow kept changing.
The next day, as soon as Quan Jiuxi got off the train, the deputy commander of the special forces team, Li Hu, stood upright beside the train waiting.
As soon as he saw Quan Jiuxi, he hurried over and said, "Captain."
Quan Jiuxi nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Kuangye behind him, "This is Researcher Lin."
Lin Kuangye looked up at the man in front of him. He had a handsome appearance and a tall and strong build. "Hello, comrade."
Li Hu quickly shook his hand tightly, his face full of warm smiles, "Hello, my name is Li Hu, everyone calls me Hu Zi!"
This researcher is so handsome. He thought all researchers were nerds in the research institute!
"Let's go." Quan Jiuxi got into the car with a frown on his face.
"Yes! Researcher Lin, please get in the car." Li Hu responded hurriedly and loudly, and opened the car door for Lin Kuangye attentively.
He had some inside information that Researcher Lin had developed a new type of weapon. He was a genius!
If I could stay in their military research institute, wouldn't they be the first to experience any new weapons in the future? I must serve them well!
Lin Kuangye was about to open the door when Li Hu got there first. Helplessly, he got into the car and said, "Thank you."
Quan Jiuxi asked Li Hu to take Lin Kuangye to the military district's research institute, while she herself had to go to the commander to report on her work.
Li Hu kept introducing everyone beside Lin Kuangye, but the one he talked about the most was Quan Jiuxi.
"You have no idea how amazing our team leader is. No matter what project it is, he's always number one. He can complete any task perfectly. He's simply like a god!"
After hearing this, Lin Kuangye realized how outstanding Quan Jiuxi was.
But what came to his mind was the scene in Dahe Village a few years ago when she stood beside him, looking up at her little face and said she was tired.
Li Hu was still talking eloquently when a person suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Li Hu, is your leader back?"
The man in front of me was wearing a neat and straight military uniform. He was tall and strong, his wheat-colored skin glowed with a healthy luster in the sun, and he exuded an unwavering and resolute temperament.
Li Hu quickly replied, "Captain Xu is back. He's probably gone to find the commander."
The man nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with a glint, "Then I'll go find her."
"Yeah, okay." Li Hu responded hurriedly.
Lin Kuangye's aura suddenly turned cold, and his angular face instantly lost expression. His eyes were as deep as a pool, staring fixedly in the direction of the person who had just left.
"Who is he?"
Li Hu suddenly felt the temperature around him drop a little, and he shuddered. He answered casually:
"Oh, his name is Xu Shaobai, he's a battalion commander. Whenever he sees our regimental commander, he wants to compete with him. He's never won, but he still refuses to give up."
