Qin Yuanzheng has always had excellent self-control;

But this time, he almost lost control.

If Xiao Qiao knew that at a time like this, he was thinking of her face, she would probably be so angry she'd cry.

Sigh, he's already this old, almost thirty, does he really want to make this kind of mistake?

He vaguely thought that if only he weren't infertile, he might try to win him over.

Qin Yuanzheng drifted off to sleep in this hazy state.

But in the middle of the night, his soldierly instincts made him suddenly open his eyes.

He turned to look at the door and saw that the door to his room had been opened, and then a woman walked in.

There were no lights inside, and outside, the north wind was howling and it was snowing heavily, so no light could get in.

In the darkness, he vaguely recognized that the woman who came in was Wang Huiping.

It's probably because the snow was too heavy, and Yang Wenyan and he had drunk too much, so no one took Wang Huiping home.

Therefore, Deng Xiaozhen let Wang Huiping stay overnight as well.

But it was the middle of the night, so why did Wang Huiping suddenly come into his room?

He was so dizzy when he came in that he thinks the door wasn't locked.

He frowned slightly, remained silent for two seconds, and then saw Wang Huiping yawn and walk straight towards him.

Did they drink too much and go to the wrong room? Or is there something else...?

Whether she did it on purpose or not, Qin Yuanzheng couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore.

When Wang Huiping got closer, Qin Yuanzheng suddenly rolled over and stood up. Wang Huiping seemed not to have expected him to get up so suddenly, and she gasped in fright. Then, Qin Yuanzheng slapped her on the neck, knocking her unconscious.

Qin Yuanzheng was still a little dizzy. He looked down at his lower abdomen...

Not right.

This isn't something that would happen just from having a few drinks. Besides, it's been several hours already.

He glanced at his watch; it was already past midnight.

He remembered that he ate dinner at seven o'clock, and it took an hour, which was eight o'clock.

When he came in and lay down, it was definitely not yet nine o'clock.

It's past midnight now, more than three hours have passed, and he still feels dizzy and weak all over, but he's also quite energetic in some areas.

It hurt all night.

Even in his sleep, he dreamed of Comrade Xiao Qiao...

Qin Yuanzheng's face was gloomy. He picked up his shirt, put it on, and then came out of the house and turned on the living room light.

Then he went to knock on Yang Wenyan's door.

Yang Wenyan was fast asleep after drinking when he heard the knocking. Still a little groggy, he said, "Xiao Zhen, did we not close the window properly? Why are you banging on it?"

Deng Xiaozhen sat up on the kang (a heated brick bed), listened for a while, and asked, "Who is it?"

Qin Yuanzheng's cold, deep voice came over: "Sister-in-law, it's me. I have to go. I came to say goodbye."

Deng Xiaozhen: "..."

If Qin Yuanzheng had stayed overnight here before, he would have left before dawn. When had he ever knocked on their door?

Deng Xiaozhen nudged Yang Wenyan and said, "Yuanzheng is knocking on the door, get up quickly."

Yang Wenyan groggily got up, put on his cotton-padded coat, and came out with Deng Xiaozhen. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Yuanzheng? What urgent mission do you have? You're leaving in the middle of the night?"

Qin Yuanzheng had already put on his coat and overcoat.

His coat was so long that it reached his knees, which finally made his complexion look a bit more natural.

Otherwise, given his physical condition, it would be too obvious in this state, and it wouldn't be good if his cousin and his wife saw it.

He said with a serious expression, "There's no mission, so I should go now. Cousin, cousin-in-law, I don't know what happened, Comrade Wang Huiping just went into my room. I thought there was a thief in the house, so I was startled and knocked her unconscious. You can go in and take a look. I won't stay here any longer, I'll be going now. I'll come over for dinner next time."

With that, Qin Yuanzheng strode to the door, opened it, and went out.

Yang Wenyan: "???"

Yang Wenyan quickly chased after him, saying, "Hey, it's the middle of the night, and it's snowing. What's the rush?"

Qin Yuanzheng's voice came from the stairwell: "The snow has stopped, cousin, don't see me off, go home quickly."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already walked out from the third floor.

Deng Xiaozhen stood there for a few seconds before she reacted. She quickly pushed open the door to the room where Qin Yuanzheng slept and turned on the light.

Wang Huiping was wearing only a thin layer of clothing and was lying on the ground.

Deng Xiaozhen: "..."

Yang Wenyan was far from sleepy at this point.

He walked over quickly.

Deng Xiaozhen was still saying, "No, Huiping didn't drink that much tonight, how did she get so drunk? She even went to the wrong room when she got up in the middle of the night. Look at the mess this has made. Luckily, Yuanzheng was holding back, otherwise, who could withstand his punch?"

Yang Wenyan glared at her and said angrily, "How can you be so stupid? Do you think Wang Huiping went into the wrong room? She clearly had ulterior motives! No wonder she didn't bring Xiao Yuan over tonight and even bought some good wine; so that's what she was planning!"

He sneered, "She's clever enough to choose a snowy day. Too bad, Yuanzheng is a soldier. Can a soldier be so cunning?"

Deng Xiaozhen was completely bewildered. She looked at Yang Wenyan and said, "What do you mean by that? What scheming or anything? Comrade Wang Huiping is a very simple and pragmatic woman. She wouldn't do such a thing, would she?"

Yang Wenyan said angrily:

"You can never truly know a person's heart! If Sun Mingyong can impersonate a military officer to commit marriage fraud, what else is impossible? You can't read her mind, how much do you really know about Wang Huiping? Yuanzheng wanted to leave in the middle of the night, not wanting to stay here for even a second longer. It seems he's angry with us too. Maybe he even misunderstands that you and I were involved in tonight's events. If that happens, I won't be able to explain it to him later."

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiaozhen realized that Qin Yuanzheng was the regimental commander, and they still cherished this relative.

Deng Xiaozhen said angrily, "That Wang Huiping is really clueless!"

Yang Wenyan: "Don't associate with her anymore. What kind of mess is this?!"

Deng Xiaozhen was also angry, and it took her a lot of effort to wake Wang Huiping up after going inside the house.

Wang Huiping's neck was in severe pain. She reached up and rubbed her neck, and saw Deng Xiaozhen standing in front of her with an unhappy expression, and Yang Wenyan standing at the door with a gloomy face.

Her heart sank; she knew her plan had backfired.

Sure enough, not only did he end up with nothing, but he also offended everyone in the end.

But at this moment, she couldn't accept it. She feigned surprise and asked Deng Xiaozhen, "Xiaozhen, what's wrong? Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"

Deng Xiaozhen looked at her, unsure whether she was truly drunk and had entered the wrong room, or what. She only said, "In the middle of the night, you've entered the wrong room and come to Yuanzheng's room."

Wang Huiping immediately panicked: "What? That, that's a misunderstanding, I, I didn't mean to..."

Deng Xiaozhen was too lazy to watch her act anymore. She sighed and said, "Yuan Zheng looked really bad just now. He said he thought he'd been robbed, so he just knocked you out with a chop. Yuan Zheng is strong. Is your neck alright?"

If something goes wrong and she ends up staying at their house, she won't have the money to pay compensation.

Wang Huiping rubbed her neck; it did hurt quite a bit, but she was more concerned about Qin Yuanzheng. So she said, "My neck is fine, Xiao Zhen. What about Commander Qin…?"

Yang Wenyan snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "They just left in the middle of the night in the heavy snow, probably afraid of being robbed again."

Wang Huiping: "..."

Wang Huiping immediately stood up and said, "I... I really went into the wrong room. No, I have to go apologize to him."

Yang Wenyan rolled his eyes in anger and turned to go back into the house.

Deng Xiaozhen also said, "No need, Huiping, let's leave it at that. Don't go looking for Yuanzheng anymore. The two of you are really not a good match."

Wang Huiping: "..."

Deng Xiaozhen has made herself so clear, Wang Huiping can't stay here any longer.

She put on her cotton-padded coat and prepared to go out.

Before leaving, Deng Xiaozhen asked her, "Huiping, did you really go to the wrong room tonight?"

Wang Huiping stood in the dark stairwell and nodded: "Of course it's true, Xiao Zhen. Don't even you believe me?"

Deng Xiaozhen smiled and said, "Drive slowly, be careful of the slippery ground."

With that, Deng Xiaozhen closed the door.

Wang Huiping came out of the residential area. It was very dark outside, and the road was covered in white.

She said she was leaving, and Deng Xiaozhen and Yang Wenyan didn't try to stop her, even though she was a woman and it was the middle of the night.

It seems that Deng Xiaozhen is really going to break off their friendship because of this.

Wang Huiping felt a little bitter.

What did she do wrong? She just wanted to find someone to rely on so that she could live a carefree life for the rest of her days.

……

Qin Yuanzheng left Yang Wenyan's house late at night.

He rode his bicycle back to the barracks of the mining troops.

As the regimental commander, his dormitory was a small one-bedroom apartment, which was more than enough for one person.

Originally, the military was going to allocate him a two-bedroom apartment in the compound.

However, he was not married and did not plan to get married in the future, so he did not want it.

He still lives in this small dormitory all these years.

Once he got back to his room, he locked the door, took off his clothes, and lay down on the bed.

The belt was unbuckled, and the pants were taken off.

I finally feel a bit more relaxed.

He was really going to burst that night.

It's okay if I don't have a wife; I'll just have to fend for myself.

He hadn't had any relief in a long time, and he probably drank spiked liquor tonight, so he couldn't hold back any longer.

He didn't turn on the light, just kept his eyes closed, his whole body enveloped in darkness. Through the faint light from the window, one could vaguely see the rugged lines of his face and the glistening beads of sweat on his forehead.

However, his physical fitness and stamina were excellent, so he couldn't... for a long time.

After a while, he suddenly remembered the day Qiao Lanshu was kidnapped and when he took Qiao Lanshu back to the guesthouse.

The little girl clutched his clothes tightly, looking up at him with teary eyes.

With a "bang," it felt like something exploded in my mind.

He felt something on his hand... and was stunned.

Did he...did he make a mistake?
