Marriage is long and desires are strong

Jiang Wei went on a blind date with Qin Xiaoye, a top tycoon, and the Qin family booked the entire Kuangye Restaurant.

The restaurant's wooden dome has an antique feel, and the faint smell of incense ash in the air reveals the old-fashioned style of the Qin family.

From the mountaintop not far away, the chanting of sutras from the temple mingled with the sound of bells ringing from the eaves, a symphony of sounds that reached the ears.

Jiang Wei arrived early and looked out the window at the dense bamboo forest. The restaurant was connected to the outside view. As she sat down, a light rain pattered on the banana leaves.

Cool, moist vapor diffused into the air.

Outside the restaurant, a black, extended Lincoln limousine pulled up in a low-key yet luxurious manner.

A dozen or so bodyguards in black stood silently in two rows along the wooden corridor of the restaurant.

Jiang Wei sat up straight immediately. The person she was waiting for had arrived. She exhaled, took a deep breath, and wiped the sweat from her palms.

Qin Xiaoye, the head of the Qin family, is rumored to be indifferent, restrained, rational, decisive, and almost ruthless.

Outside the restaurant, in a wooden corridor, stood a tall, handsome man in a black suit, his slender fingers holding a black umbrella. Rain dripped down the eaves of the umbrella, exuding a calm and elegant air.

The bodyguards on both sides respectfully opened the door, and the man strode in.

He folded the black umbrella and placed it at the restaurant entrance, his gaze fixed on the pure white figure by the window, the deep sandalwood hue exuding a soothing and comforting quality.

Jiang Wei and he met each other across the distance, and a lingering, distant feeling spread out of nowhere.

Jiang Wei's heart skipped a beat, then slowly accelerated.

Jiang Wei wore a cool-toned white silk dress with lace ropes tied around her waist. Her upper body was quite voluptuous, but her waist was so narrow that it could be encircled with one hand.

She tilted her head slightly, revealing a stunningly beautiful face, with her black hair cascading down her sides like a waterfall, smooth and glossy.

Qin Xiaoye strode over, pulled out a wooden chair, and sat down opposite Jiang Wei, exuding a calm and dignified aura: "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Jiang Wei: "I arrived too early."

Qin Xiaoye is very punctual.

A waitress dressed in a dark blue cheongsam came over and poured tea for the two of them.

Qin Xiaoye's gaze was fixed on her, his legs crossed, his hands folded on his thighs, displaying a posture befitting someone accustomed to being in a superior position.

The steaming tea, fragrant and wafting with white steam, filled the space between the two of them.

Qin Xiaoye's handsome face was framed by gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a refined and noble air. He wore a black suit, a gray shirt, and a dark gray tie, revealing the taut contours of his muscles that made the shirt bulge at his chest.

The antique watch on his wrist gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen.

The two stared at each other for two minutes.

Jiang Wei felt the oppressive aura emanating from Qin Xiaoye and took a small sip of tea.

Her lips, glistening with water, appeared even more vibrant.

Qin Xiaoye's gaze was cold as he slowly spoke, "Miss Jiang, is marriage a possibility?"

Jiang Wei paused, her hand stilling as she drank her tea, and looked at Qin Xiaoye with her watery eyes.

Qin Xiaoye stared straight at her, his gaze intrusive and making her feel uneasy.

Jiang Wei took a deep breath, put down her teacup, bit her red lips, and let her black hair fall down: "It's okay."

Qin Xiaoye nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on her moist lips for a second before turning to look at the restaurant door.

A man immediately pushed open the door, respectfully placed a stack of documents on the table, and backed out of the restaurant.

Qin Xiaoye tapped his long fingers twice on the wooden table, tilted his head slightly, and gestured for Jiang Wei to open it.

Jiang Wei picked it up; it was a medical diagnosis report with the name Qin Xiaoye on it.

Qin Xiaoye: "I think you know my situation and the purpose of our marriage."

Jiang Wei was nervous. She licked her lips. The document read:

Qin Xiaoye:

28 years old, in excellent health. Tested negative for all infectious diseases.

Sentinel: S-rank

Situation: Dangerous, on the verge of collapse, in urgent need of comfort and relief.

Below are various indicator values, many of which are on the verge of danger.

Qin Xiaoye, out-of-control value: 78.

The higher the out-of-control value, the more dangerous it is for the sentry.

Jiang Wei is also a doctor, but she doesn't treat people.

She is a veterinarian who runs a pet hospital, but it is now on the verge of closing down.

She understood the data and paused for a moment.

No wonder Qin Xiaoye was so eager for a marriage alliance.

Qin Xiaoye appears calm, restrained, and rational, but is he already in a dangerous situation?

Sentinels make up one percent of the population, and S-class soldiers are extremely rare.

These people possess exceptional physical strength, sharp minds, and heightened senses, earning them the titles of "human weapons" and "out-of-control beasts." They are a testament to superior genes inherited from the war years, but without guidance and comfort, they risk losing control of their minds.

Guides, comprising two percent of the population, are known as "soul comforters." They can soothe the emotions of sentinels and are also adept at sensing and influencing the emotions of others. Similarly, S-level guides are extremely rare.

Jiang Wei was found to have an S-level guiding gene during a paternity test conducted by the Jiang family some time ago.

She turned to the next page of the report, her fingertips pausing.

It was a compatibility assessment of her and Qin Xiaoye's relationship.

There is a problem with the compatibility of the sentry and the guide.

If the compatibility score is too low, even an S-rank guide will have difficulty comforting B-rank or C-rank sentinels. Generally, a compatibility score of over 40% is required for comfort to be effective. A compatibility score of over 60% is already quite rare.

Her compatibility with Qin Xiaoye is 99.7%!

Jiang Wei looked up at Qin Xiaoye after seeing the last page.

Qin Xiaoye stared into her eyes and spoke slowly, his voice steady: "Miss Jiang, do you know what it takes to comfort and relieve stress?"

Jiang Wei's face flushed instantly, and she nodded: "Mm."

The way to soothe and relieve is through intimate contact.

The closer the intimacy and the longer the intimacy lasts, the better the effect.

This means that negative distance has the best effect, and the longer the negative distance lasts, the better.

This is why the Qin family requested a marriage alliance.

Jiang Wei's marriage was due to a paternity test, which turned her from the eldest daughter of the Jiang family into a non-biological adopted daughter. The Jiang family was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Jiang Wei wanted to repay the kindness of raising her for many years.

Qin Xiaoye's voice, like a gentle drizzle, said, "Let's be clear, this is a marriage alliance, it has to happen. Is that alright?"

The words, falling into Jiang Wei's ears, were like spring rain, soaking her completely. Her face and ears turned red, and she said shyly, "Okay."

Discussing the question of whether or not to do it so seriously with a stranger made her sweat, and the heat slowly dissipated.

Qin Xiaoye's eyes fell on her slowly blushing cheeks and rosy earlobes, his throat a little dry.

He picked up the tea on the table, gulped down a mouthful, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

Jiang Wei whispered, "My medical report..."

Qin Xiaoye: "I've already checked. Miss Jiang is in good health."

That's true. Given Qin Xiaoye's family background, she should know more about his situation than Qin Xiaoye herself does.

Jiang Wei bit her lip and remained silent.

The drizzle formed a mist that pattered lightly through the bamboo grove, creating a soft, rustling sound, and the dampness filled the air.

Qin Xiaoye: "Our marriage will be based on mutual non-interference and will not involve any emotional ties. The engagement is for two years."

He stood up, extended his hand across the table, and said in a deep, calm voice, as if discussing business: "Ms. Jiang, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Jiang Wei also stood up and grasped Qin Xiaoye's hand: "I'll be troubling Mr. Qin these past two years."

Jiang Wei's hands were soft and slightly cool.

Qin Xiaoye felt a cool, comfortable sensation coming from her hand, slowly soothing the restlessness that kept rising and then being suppressed in his heart.

Another unbearable longing arose.

Qin Xiaoye held Jiang Wei's fingertips, and the sound of rain pattering on banana leaves filled the air, along with the cool, woody fragrance.

The man's feverish body temperature slowly transferred from his fingertips, gently transforming into a fine electric current that emitted a soft "buzzing" sound.
