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

With a "click," the door was gently closed.

After the door closed, the dormitory fell into a deathly silence. Zhou Liguang didn't go to sleep immediately. He slowly opened his eyes and sat up in bed. He sat there blankly on the cold edge of the bed, staring at the empty chair opposite him, silent for a long while, as if saying his final goodbye to himself.

After a long while, he sighed deeply, stood up, walked to the door, and pulled the light switch with a "snap." Then, in the dark, he lay back down on the bed.

The room was pitch black. Zhou Liguang stared at the dark ceiling for a while with his eyes open, then slowly closed them.

This time, his heart finally calmed down.

He stopped thinking about Qiao Xinxin's smiling face, and stopped dwelling on the hypotheticals of "what if I had spoken first." He knew that some things, once missed, are missed forever, and life had to move on.

On the other side, Lu Baizhou left Zhou Liguang's dormitory and strode towards his own dormitory.

By this time, it was already very late at night.

The entire military compound was shrouded in the deep darkness of night.

The long corridor was quiet, not a soul in sight. Only from the distant company's duty room could one occasionally hear the crisp ring of a telephone, which sounded particularly clear in the still night.

Lu Baizhou walked to his dormitory door, took out his key, unlocked the door, and went inside.

He didn't turn on the light switch by the door. Instead, using the bright moonlight streaming in through the window, he deftly took off his dark green military jacket, hung it neatly on the wooden coat rack behind the door, and then walked to the bedside and sat down on the hard edge of the bed.

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The scene that unfolded this afternoon under the old locust tree at the entrance of the residential compound was playing back in his mind with unparalleled clarity, like a movie.

A gentle breeze was blowing. Qiao Xinxin stood in front of him and suddenly stood on tiptoe.

She reached out her two soft, white hands and cupped his cheeks, then, unexpectedly, she gently kissed the corner of his mouth with her warm lips.

That kiss was so light, so very light, like an autumn leaf falling silently onto a calm lake, yet it stirred up a storm in his heart.

Even though most of the day had passed, that soft touch still seemed to linger vividly on the corner of his mouth. That warm, soft feeling, along with the sweet, refreshing scent of Qiao Xinxin that she always carried, like grass after the rain, was impossible to shake off.

Lu Baizhou sat alone in his dark dormitory, thinking about that feather-light kiss. Finally, he couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth slowly curl up. The smile grew wider and wider, until it almost reached his ears.

He was known in the army for his incorruptibility. He always had a cold face and never smiled. He was even more frighteningly strict when it came to training. The soldiers under his command, even the most rebellious ones, were terrified of him, like mice before a cat.

But at this moment, if someone were to hold a flashlight and suddenly illuminate this room, seeing their usually imposing Battalion Commander Lu sitting in the dark, laughing like a fool, they would probably think he had won some incredible lottery prize and was overjoyed.

To be honest, in Lu Baizhou's opinion, he had indeed won a huge prize today, the biggest prize of his life.

Today, in the small park, she clearly and definitively stated her position to Zhou Liguang.

This afternoon, at the entrance of the family compound, she personally told him that she wanted to accept him and be with him.

Moreover, she not only did not avoid his approach, but even took the initiative to kiss him!

All of this clearly tells him one fact: Qiao Xinxin truly loves Lu Baizhou!

Lu Baizhou carefully recalled every detail of the past few days.

From the very beginning, when she agreed to go to the movies with him, to take a walk with him, and to have a picnic with him by the lake in the park, her heart was already unknowingly moving closer and closer to him.

As Lu Baizhou thought of this, a sweet and delightful feeling welled up in his heart, like boiling water, bubbling and gurgling out, impossible to suppress.

He leaned back and fell onto the hard bed with a "thud".

He crossed his two thick arms behind his head, his bright eyes staring at the dark ceiling, and another daring idea began to race through his mind.

Now that she has personally agreed to be with him, and the two are officially a couple, shouldn't he find a suitable opportunity to honestly tell her about the absurd thing that happened before?

That happened that very night in that dilapidated guesthouse in the city.

Thinking about it, Lu Baizhou felt both annoyed and amused. This girl was incredibly thick-skinned; so much time had passed, and she still hadn't recognized him!

Thinking of this, Lu Baizhou's mischievous desire to tease her and his intense curiosity surged up like wild grass in spring.

If one day he finds a sunny and breezy day, and the two of them are having a meal or taking a walk, he suddenly tells her in a serious tone: Xin Xin, the man you "slept with" and didn't make you take responsibility for that night at the guesthouse, that was me!

What kind of interesting expression will she have when she hears this?

Will she freeze on the spot, her mouth agape enough to fit an egg? And then her entire face, from the base of her neck all the way to the tips of her ears, turn bright red, like a ripe tomato? Will she be so embarrassed that she covers her face with her hands, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into?

Lu Baizhou found it increasingly amusing; he desperately wanted to see her adorable reaction of panic and embarrassment. He rolled over, lying on his side in bed, happily planning: when he went to her house tomorrow, he would find a good opportunity when it was just the two of them to explain everything clearly. He needed to let her know that the person she had "bullied" that night was him, Lu Baizhou, from beginning to end, and not some random random guy.

Lu Baizhou was lying in bed, his mind filled with Qiao Xinxin's blushing and charming appearance, pondering how to bring it up tomorrow.
