Chapter 26: Save me or torture me?
Xia Mi's thoughts were running wild. Huo Jingchen's face was nothing special, his figure was nothing to say, and his physical strength was not much worse than that of a soldier.
Actually, it’s not impossible?
Just when she was ready to risk her life and be brave for once.
"Don't worry, I keep my word. If you don't touch me, I won't touch you."
Xia Mi paused, then strode past Huo Jingchen and nimbly got into the bed, leaving only his head exposed.
The quilts in the army are thin and hard, and the fabric used on the outside is not as soft as those used at home. In addition, this is a new quilt, which is harder.
Huo Jingchen pulled down the light cord and the room fell into darkness.
She felt someone lying on the other side of the bed. She turned around to face away, and a big hand passed through her and wrapped around her waist.
Xia Mi exclaimed, and the next second he was easily pulled into someone's hot arms.
In the silent night, the chirping of insects was amplified, and Xia Mi felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
"Huo Jingchen?"
The other party didn't respond. Then, someone came up and a soft touch fell on Xia Mi's lips.
Xia Mi held his breath and waited for the storm to come.
The next second, the soft touch disappeared. Just when Xia Mi thought it was over, the man domineeringly surrounded the person, opening his lips and covering his lips.
After the kiss ended, the body temperature of the two people increased significantly.
The man's voice was low, and the heat of his words sprayed against her ears, like a gentle brush of feathers.
"Xia Mi, are you here to save me or to torture me?"
"Shut up! It was you who took the initiative." Xia Mi was ashamed and angry.
"Go to sleep, we have to take a boat ride tomorrow."
Huo Jingchen lifted the quilt, feeling a fire in her heart. It was so hot that the freezing cold air barely made her regain her senses.
Xia Mi accepted his defeat and simply found a comfortable angle in the man's arms to curl up and prepare to fall asleep.
-
The earliest boat at the pier was at six o'clock. When Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen went out, it was already dark and the sun was rising.
The troops are some distance from the dock and need to be driven there.
Xia Mi was worried about seasickness and did not dare to take anything else except seasickness medicine all morning.
Seeing the familiar ship, Xia Mi's legs shook unsatisfactorily. She took a deep breath and stepped on the pedal.
Seeing that she was afraid, Huo Jingchen reached out and scooped her up and carried her to the deck, causing everyone to boo.
"Thank you." Xia Mi thanked him in a low voice.
Huo Jingchen snorted coldly at her status, "You're welcome, we have slept in the same bed, and I have the obligation to give you a hand."
Xia Mil's ears felt hot and red after hearing these words.
She quickly looked around to make sure no one heard her, then relaxed her guard and said, "Can you pay attention to your image?"
Huo Jingchen didn't answer, turned around and helped the old man who got on the boat behind him, standing aside to help.
Fu Ming and Xia Mi went to find a location first.
Xia Mi sat on the edge so that he could sleep against the wall later, and Fu Ming sat next to him.
After people board the ship, there are still cabin seats left.
Huo Jingchen entered the cabin and locked the two people's positions with one glance, still talking and laughing.
The man walked straight up to the two of them coldly and motioned to Fu Ming to give up his seat.
Fu Ming quickly moved his butt outside to make way for a place, and the three of them crowded in a row.
“There are so many places in front of you, can’t you see them?”
"But I still want to chat with Sister Xia Mi, and I was the one who sat down first. I have to be the first to talk about everything..."
Fu Ming met Huo Jingchen's cold gaze, and his voice became lower and lower.
He had to take his luggage and sit in the front row.
After setting off the boat, Fu Ming turned around and saw Xia Mi resting on Huo Jingchen's shoulder.
"Have you seen enough? Turn around. It's not suitable for children." Huo Jingchen warned. Fu Ming had no choice but to turn around, feeling panicked. In his heart, he still wanted to talk to Xia Mi about things in the city or Brother Huo's past.
Even if you take seasickness medicine, the ship is bumpy and the hygiene is not thorough, and all kinds of smells are mixed together, which is quite torture.
The ship docked at the pier and passengers disembarked in an orderly manner.
Xia Mi was supported tightly by Huo Jingchen. When she met the man's eyes, she thought that her embarrassed look would be ridiculed.
"Hold on for a while, there is a restaurant ahead, just have some food."
When they arrived at the restaurant Huo Jingchen mentioned, Xia Mi only wanted a bowl of porridge.
"Brother Huo, can I follow you for a walk? I don't want to go to Uncle Lin's house so early."
Xia Mi quickly agreed, "Okay, you won't have much chance to relax in the future, so take advantage of today to go shopping."
In this case, she won't have to worry about being followed when she goes shopping later, and Huo Jingchen will also have a companion, so she can toss around for a while longer.
Huo Jingchen had no objection.
After eating, the three of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities for Fu Ming, and then headed to the department store.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The department store in Qingcheng is very large, with nearly twenty reception desks on the first floor, all separated by glass cabinets. Behind them are rows of cabinets displaying goods, with conspicuous signs hanging to distinguish them.
The first floor mainly sells food, home appliances, and daily necessities. There are stone steps on the left and right hands. Going up to the second floor is electronic products, fabrics, and shoes.
During this period, Xia Mi found an excuse to go upstairs and came down after fifteen minutes.
She carried her things and walked towards the two people standing at the door of the radio.
A person walking towards him deliberately bumped into Xia Mi's shoulder. Xia Mi turned sideways and frowned at the man's back.
Huo Jingchen also saw it and walked up quickly, "Are you okay?"
Xia Mi shook his head, feeling strange, how could he hit such a big space?
She quickly checked to see if there was anything missing, and when she looked down, she found that the watch on her hand was gone.
"My watch was stolen by that person just now." Xia Mi looked back and saw that the person was still there.
Huo Jingchen made sure that Xia Mi was not injured and quickly came up with countermeasures.
"Stolen?!"
Fu Ming looked at Xia Mi's empty wrist and remembered that he had just praised his sister-in-law's beautiful watch on the boat, but it was gone in the blink of an eye?
"Lend me your watch and keep an eye on your sister-in-law. I'll go over and have a look."
Huo Jingchen put on her watch, patted Fu Ming's shoulder, and blended into the crowd.
"Will something happen to your brother? What if there are too many of them?" Xia Mi was worried, looking around, but Huo Jingchen was completely missing.
There were many people in the department store, and she was worried that there was more than one pickpocket and that a gang was committing the crime.
"No, there are so many people here. The thief is just a street rat. Once he is discovered, everyone will shout and beat him. Brother Huo is not mute."
Xia Mi thought about it. Huo Jingchen was almost 1.9 meters tall, so few people could beat him.
Ten or twenty minutes passed and no one came back.
Fu Ming also started to panic visibly.
"Catch the thief! There is a thief!"
Suddenly someone shouted loudly, like a drop of water dripping from hot oil, causing the whole place to boil.
"If you have a knife, a thief has a knife!"
Xia Mi's heart trembled, and she quickened her pace and pushed forward. Others were moving back, so she and Fu Ming went upstream.
"Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of here!"
"Give me back the money. This is the money my family has saved for two years!"
The money was robbed, and the person who was robbed became red-eyed and rushed forward, vowing to get the money back.
The thief was also panicked. He took the knife just to bluff, but he didn't expect to meet someone who was not afraid of death.
The man said and jumped forward, but the thief ducked sideways.
He held a fruit knife in front of him and cursed his mother angrily, "Madman, you're even willing to risk your life for a few dozen dollars!"
