An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 112 The Unspoken "I Love You"

The sound of running water came continuously from the bathroom, and Meng Youyou buried her face in the pillow.

How could it be a premeditated plan? A flushed face is not something that can be faked. It's simply that she realized he had the upper hand halfway through, and her competitive spirit flared up, leading to her acting out of sheer malice.

The consequence of the little white rabbit forcing herself to pretend to be a big bad wolf was that the real big bad wolf was taking a cold shower inside, while the little white rabbit rolled around on the bed in embarrassment.

Meng Youyou felt that this was a worthwhile investment.

The bathroom door was pushed open, and Meng Youyou looked up calmly, then quickly moved to the side, lifting a corner of the blanket. "Come up and sleep after you're done showering."

Huo Qingshan walked to the bedside but remained motionless for a long time. He hesitated before speaking, "I... I think I'll go back to my room to sleep?"

Meng Youyou pouted unhappily, "Why? You just promised me you'd sleep with me tonight."

Huo Qingshan looked somewhat troubled. "In this place, taking a cold shower in winter is really quite uncomfortable."

Meng Youyou chuckled and playfully raised her eyebrows. "Don't worry, Battalion Commander Huo, I won't touch you tonight."

She got up, grabbed his arm, and pulled him onto the bed.

The two lay in one quilt. Outside, the cold wind howled and snow fell heavily, but inside, it was warm, quiet, and peaceful.

Meng Youyou couldn't stay still for long before snuggling into his arms.

In the quiet night, the man's sigh stood out all the more.

"What?" Meng Youyou asked, displeased. "Can't I even hug you?"

He pulled the person out of the blanket, their head poking out from his arms, and he hugged them a little tighter.

He had naturally noticed her unusual behavior tonight, but he thought that after all that commotion, she had probably released most of the emotions she had been holding back. But now it seemed that was not the case, or rather, that she hadn't fully released them.

He lowered his head and kissed the hair on the top of her head. "Still unhappy?"

Meng Youyou paused for a moment, then fiddled with a small button on his shirt and gave a soft "hmm".

"Because of Grandpa Yang and Grandma Liang's matter?" he asked, though he had a vague idea of ​​the answer.

"No."

She quickly corrected herself, "Not just."

Huo Qingshan guided, and also guessed: "Because of me?"

Meng Youyou remained silent.

"Are you still afraid of my job? Do you feel it's dangerous? Do you feel insecure? The promises I made to you tonight will only alleviate some of your anxiety, but you're still not at ease, are you?"

Meng Youyou reached out and hugged the man's waist. "Huo Qingshan, what should we do? I'm so scared."

The week you left Ximing City for a mission, I couldn't sleep well every night. One night I dreamed that you were shot... in the heart.

Huo Qingshan felt a patch of dampness on his chest, and his heart clenched.

"I've never encountered this situation before, and the jobs that the important people around me do aren't particularly dangerous."

In my past life, it seemed that apart from going to school, eating, sleeping, and going out with friends on weekends, nothing special happened every day.

Life is ordinary but peaceful and stable.

It seems like death is always far away from me, and also far away from the people I love.

Meng Youyou sniffed, "But when I got here..."

She stopped talking, as if she couldn't continue. Huo Qingshan didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he could only hug her tightly, trying to melt her into his body.

"Huo Qingshan," she suddenly called out again, "have I never told you I love you?"

She muttered to herself, "You seem to have told me about it once, on Lone Wolf Peak, when you stepped on a landmine and I went to get help."

Actually, on the way down the mountain, I kept regretting why I didn't tell you that I love you too.
That night in Ximing City, after you kissed me, you took me back to my room. Before closing the door, I wanted to tell you I loved you, but Chu Yao was also in the room, so I was too embarrassed.

On the train, after I wrote "Be careful" on your palm, I wanted to write those three words again, but I was afraid of wasting time, so I didn't.

"Huo Qingshan, I may love you more than you think."

"……I know."

"So, you have to keep your word, okay? You have to marry me and treat me well for the rest of your life. You can't break your promise."

"You must come to marry me in good health and peace, and then live with me until you are ninety-nine."

"it is good."

……

The faint sunlight from outside seeped into the room through the edges of the curtains.

Meng Youyou slowly opened her eyes and found that he was already awake and looking at her.

"When did you wake up?"

"A little earlier than you."

"Battalion Commander Huo, I noticed that your body is so warm. I didn't even fill a hot water bottle yesterday, but I felt warm all night."

Huo Qingshan revealed the truth: "I suspect that the reason you said your hands and feet were always cold when you slept in winter was because you always kicked off the blankets at night. You didn't feel cold yesterday, firstly because the room was heated, and secondly because I covered you with a blanket."

Meng Youyou: "..."

Huo Qingshan got up from the bed, walked to the window, and pulled the curtains open, instantly brightening the room several degrees.

He turned to the person still curled up in bed and asked, "What are your plans for today?"

"Didn't you say we were going to Nanjing? But why Nanjing?" Meng Youyou asked, puzzled.

Huo Qingshan explained, "The Second Historical Archives of China in Nanjing holds a large number of historical materials from the Nationalist government during the War of Resistance Against Japan. There is a good chance that we can find more specific roster records of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which can be used for the determination of Grandpa Yang's nationality."

"When do we set off?" she asked, her voice still a little muffled as she had just woken up.

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I guess it will be very difficult to buy a train ticket at this time today."

Hearing this, Meng Youyou suddenly perked up, "Then let's go out and have fun for a day today!"

……

Meng Youyou regretted it as soon as she reached the hotel lobby entrance. The biting cold wind outside howled in, blowing away Meng Youyou's enthusiasm for going out to play.

She tugged at Huo Qingshan's sleeve and whispered, "Why don't we just stay in the hotel room for another day and not go out? The temperature in Lianshui City in winter is no joke. It wouldn't be worth getting frozen."

Huo Qingshan turned to the side, reached out and tightened the scarf loosely wrapped around her neck, and said with a low laugh, "We still have to go out to eat, right? Are you really going to become a hibernating animal and not need to eat anymore?"

Seeing her face scrunched up in distress, Huo Qingshan relented, "Why don't you go back first? I'll go out and buy some food and bring it back to you."

Meng Youyou took his arm and said, "Never mind, by the time you get the things back, they'll be cold. Let's go together."
