The younger sister mistakenly identified her brother when visiting relatives and was kissed by the c

She felt both helpless and amused, but her heart was overflowing with sweetness, like a jar of honey had been spilled.

She cupped her hands around her mouth and called out coquettishly to the retreating figure:

Why are you running away! I'm not going to eat you!

In the quiet night sky, the little girl's soft and sweet voice carried far.

The figure in the distance paused abruptly, nearly tripping. But then he ran even faster, like a gust of wind, turning the corner of the alley ahead and disappearing in a flash.

Qiao Xinxin stood under the streetlight, looking at the empty alleyway, and couldn't help but shake her head with a smile, but the sweet smile on her lips couldn't be suppressed no matter what she did.

"Silly girl..."

She muttered something to herself before turning around, pushing open the iron gate of the residential compound, and briskly going upstairs.

She walked briskly, humming a little tune all the way to her front door.

When Qiao Xinxin pushed open her own door, the smile on her face hadn't yet faded.

When she looked up, she happened to meet Bai's mother, who was sitting in the living room picking vegetables.

As Bai's mother was snapping off a string bean, she saw her daughter's beaming face, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons, and immediately laughed, teasingly saying:

"Oh, Xin Xin's back? Her mouth is practically stretched to her ears in a wide grin! Who did you go out with that day and had so much fun?"

Qiao Xinxin was startled. She quickly cleared her throat, suppressed her smile, and pretended to be calm as she put on her slippers.

"No, I just went out with some friends to get some fresh air and had some barbecue in the eastern suburbs."

"Friends? What kind of friends can make our Xin Xin smile like a flower?" Upon hearing this, Bai's mother's gossip spirit instantly ignited, and she leaned over to ask in a low voice.

"Oh, Mom, we're just ordinary friends, please don't ask me anything! I'm tired after a long day, I'm going to go back to my room to wash up and go to bed!"

Qiao Xinxin's pretty face flushed as Bai's mother stared at her. Afraid that her own mother would notice something was amiss, she quickly grabbed her small bag and dashed into her room, slamming the door shut behind her.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Bai's mother couldn't help but laugh and scold, "That brat, she's keeping it a secret from her own mother! She must be dating someone!"

Back in her room, Qiao Xinxin leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

She raised her hand and touched her forehead again, as if the warmth of Lu Baizhou's lips still lingered there, making her heart tremble.

She walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at her hands on her knees, then couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her forehead with the back of her hand.

"Lu Baizhou, you pervert."

She muttered something under her breath, but there was no anger in her tone. Instead, there was a hint of embarrassment and sweetness that she herself was unaware of.

She took off her coat, lay down in the warm bed, and pulled the blanket up to her chin.

But my mind was playing like a movie, over and over again the unexpected kiss on the grass this evening, and the sudden kiss on the forehead at the gate just now.

"Qiao Xinxin, be a little more reserved. Don't get carried away just because he kisses you a couple of times."

She buried her head in the pillow and closed her eyes, looking somewhat distressed.

However, whenever she thought of Lu Baizhou, Zhou Liguang's gentle and handsome face would involuntarily appear in her mind.

Zhou Liguang was also very kind to her. Ever since her leg injury was healed, his eyes were so gentle that they could melt your heart whenever he looked at her.

Now two outstanding men are pursuing her, but neither of them knows the other's feelings. She's caught in the middle. Who should she choose as her boyfriend?

Qiao Xinxin felt a growing headache the more she thought about it.

After a while, she lifted her face from the pillow, turned over and lay flat on her back, looking at the ceiling.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let nature take its course, and choose whoever performs best!"

She turned over again, forcing herself to close her eyes and stop thinking about these random things.

As night deepened, the occasional distant bark of a dog drifted in from outside the window, along with the muffled whistle of a passing train. In the peaceful night, Qiao Xinxin finally closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, in his single dormitory in the military camp, Lu Baizhou was lying on his bed, staring blankly at the dark ceiling.

The lights-out bell had rung long ago, and the entire dormitory building was silent.

Lu Baizhou rolled over to face the wall, and two minutes later, he rolled over again to face the door.

No matter how I lie down, I feel uncomfortable; my whole body is burning up.

His mind was filled with images of the evening and the scene at the gate just now.

The kiss on her forehead wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. He still remembers the smoothness and warmth of her skin, and the sweet scent of brown sugar cake that lingered when she threw herself into his arms on the grass.

He could clearly remember that when he instinctively put his arm around her slender, soft waist on the grass, the girl froze for a moment, then tried to shrink back in a panic.

In that instant, her breath hit his face, hot and tinged with a hint of panic, like a feather scratching at his heart.

And just now... after I kissed her, I actually turned around and ran away.

Lu Baizhou raised his hand to cover his eyes with some annoyance, but couldn't help but smile slightly.

"How embarrassing."

He muttered a self-deprecating curse under his breath.

On the battlefield and on the training ground, when had Lu Baizhou ever backed down? Even when facing a hail of enemy bullets, he wouldn't even flinch. But just now, facing a little girl, he actually fled in panic, running even more pathetically and humiliatingly than when he missed the target on his first day of basic training.

His mind went blank. He just watched her standing under the dim streetlights, looking up at him with her sweet and lovely face, her eyes as clear as a spring. The impulse that had been building up in his heart for so long could no longer be suppressed.

He just wanted to kiss her, just once.

After kissing her, he was afraid the girl would turn on him and call him a pervert or a hooligan. In a moment of inspiration, he impulsively ran away.

But now, lying in bed, he began to regret it.

I felt so cowardly. We had already kissed, why did I run away? I acted like a greenhorn who had never seen the world before, and I really embarrassed the reconnaissance company!

Lu Baizhou tossed and turned in bed like a pancake for half the night, and finally closed his eyes in a daze in the middle of the night.

As soon as he fell asleep, he had a dream.

The images in my dream were somewhat blurry, as if seen through a thin layer of white mist, making them difficult to see clearly.

He felt as if he were lying on a not-so-spacious bed covered with a coarse sheet. His whole body was burning hot, and his mind was foggy, as if he were delirious from a high fever, unable to even lift a finger.

Just as he was groaning in pain, a slender figure suddenly approached him.
