First, then, love.

He glanced around; the team members on the training field were still struggling to climb over the obstacles.

Old Li quickly took out his phone from his pocket.

Unlock with fingerprint and open WeChat.

I skillfully found the pinned WeChat group called "Lone Wolf Commando (No Captain Version)".

My fingers were frantically tapping on the screen, almost leaving afterimages.

[Old Li (Deputy Captain)]: Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Attention everyone! Extraordinary news!

The group is usually very active, but during this break, a bunch of long-time lurkers suddenly came out.

[Sniper Liu]: What's wrong with Brother Li? Is he coming back to life this early in the morning?

[Explosives Master Monkey]: Did the provincial department give out bonuses? They handled that case in Lin Province so well!

[Assault Squad Member Xiao Zhao]: Deputy Li, spit it out! I just finished running, my lungs are about to explode.

Old Li stood in the wind, took a deep breath, and typed out a powerful passage.

[Old Li (Deputy Captain)]: Bonus my ass! It's the captain! That living devil just came to work! He was actually humming a song!!!

There was an eerie silence in the group for three seconds.

Then, messages flooded the screen like a waterfall.

[Sniper Liu]: ? ? ?

[Demolitionist Monkey]: Brother Li, are you still asleep? The captain is humming? What is he humming? The Great Compassion Mantra or the March of the Volunteers?

[Assault Squad Member Xiao Zhao]: Impossible! Absolutely impossible! We'd be lucky if the captain didn't skin us alive when he came back from the mission, let alone hum a song? Did a stray bullet hit his brain?!

Old Li sneered, his fingers straining as he typed.

[Old Li (Deputy Captain)]: Humming is nothing! The important part is what comes next! I just saw it with my own eyes, less than half a meter away! There was a tooth mark this big on the captain's collarbone!

Old Li sent an exaggerated emoji.

[Old Li (Deputy Captain)]: The skin was bitten through! There are two long scratch marks next to the teeth marks! Fresh! Scratched by fingernails!

The group fell silent again.

This time, the silence lasted for ten seconds.

These bachelors in the police force, though they've never eaten pork, have at least seen pigs run.

They were unaware of He Zheng's marriage.

It can be teeth marks, scratches, or collarbone marks.

The meaning of these three words together is self-evident.

[Sniper Liu]: Holy crap... the God of War bites so hard?

[Explosive Hand Monkey]: Are you an idiot?! Can the God of War's teeth leave teeth marks on a human?! That was a woman! A woman bit him!

[Reconnaissance Soldier Lao Hei]: From a trace evidence perspective, bite marks on the collarbone usually occur during extremely intimate and intense physical contact. Scratch marks located on the side of the neck extending to the collarbone are consistent with drag marks caused by the fingers exerting force when the back is being hugged. Identification complete.

[Assault Squad Member Xiao Zhao]: Lao Hei, shut up! The imagery is too vivid! I can't imagine the captain, that living devil, being scratched by a woman in bed! It's too horrifying!

[Sniper Liu]: I heard from the bureau chief's secretary yesterday that the captain took three days off, saying he was resting at home. Is that what you call resting? He's clearly been doing physical labor for three days and three nights!

[Explosives Master Monkey]: So... the Cold Noodles Demon God has broken his fast? Which deity took him in?!

Messages kept pouring in the group chat, and the flames of gossip burned ever brighter.

Old Li stared at the text scrolling wildly across the screen.

Recalling He Zheng's radiant, even slightly boastful smile just now.

He sighed heavily and took a sip of the goji berry water from his thermos.

My fingers solemnly typed the last line of text on the screen.

send.

It's over, our captain has been completely taken down!

After Lao Li posted that heartbreaking summary in the group chat, the police team's group chat completely erupted in chaos.

The speed at which messages flood the screen is faster than a micro-bullet spraying bullets.

For the next week, all the bachelors in the detachment stared at He Zheng's neck with a strange yet awe-inspiring look.

He Zheng didn't care at all.

He didn't even bother to pull his collar up, leaving the two scratches and teeth marks exposed, scabbing over and falling off, leaving a faint pink mark.

A true medal of honor.

He was in such a good mood that he didn't even yell at anyone when he checked on the rooms and the housekeeping.

Every afternoon at the appointed time, I leave work on time, and my black SUV disappears in a flash, heading straight back to my spacious apartment in Jinxiu Huating.

No longer like before, when I would stay at the gym after work and exhaust myself before going home.

Now, he has a better place to expend his energy.

It's 2 PM on the weekend.

It was a bright, sunny day outside; the early winter sun was intense, but there was no warmth.

Sunlight streams into the 300-square-meter living room through thick double-glazed soundproof windows.

The underfloor heating was set to 24 degrees Celsius, making the room warm and cozy, with a faint scent of tuberose in the air.

Shu Yao was wearing a set of off-white, thick cotton loungewear.

Her hair was casually pinned up at the back of her head with a shark clip, with a few stray strands falling onto her slender swan neck.

Sitting on a cashmere carpet in front of the French windows, legs apart, with a cello placed between them.

Press the string with your left hand and hold the bow with your right.

He is playing a soothing classical piece.

The deep, melodious sound of the piano echoed through the spacious living room.

Shu Yao frowned slightly and changed her sitting posture.

My lower back hurts.

My legs are sore too.

Since that night when she crossed the line, she has now truly witnessed just how monstrous the physical abilities of the SWAT team leader really are.

The saying "once you've tasted the marrow, you'll know its flavor" perfectly describes He Zheng.

This man was like a wolf that had just tasted meat, causing trouble every night in different ways. Not only on the 2.8-meter-long bed, but also on the bathroom sink, the black leather sofa in the living room, and even in front of the French windows on the balcony, all left traces of his madness.

No matter how much Shu Yao cried and begged for mercy, or how much she threw a tantrum and scratched him, she would eventually be suppressed by him using all sorts of brutal and irresistible methods.

In the end, my temper was worn down to nothing, leaving only the aches and pains that made my body feel like it was falling apart every morning when I woke up.

She took a deep breath, finished a measure, and stopped bowing.

He reached out and rubbed his lower back hard twice, muttering a curse under his breath.

"Beast."

Two meters away from her, on the sunniest spot on the carpet.

The war god was lying sprawled out in the sun, while the 80-pound retired military dog ​​was showing off its belly without any defense.

What's even more surprising is...

The princess's notoriously temperamental calico cat, for the first time ever, didn't hiss.

It was curled up into a fluffy ball, arrogantly lying on the belly of the God of War.

As the God of War breathed steadily, the cat ball rose and fell, purring contentedly from its throat.

The God of War lifted his eyelids and glanced at it, snorted, and didn't dare to move, afraid of waking up this little tyrant and getting scratched.

They have both cats and dogs, living together in harmony.

The cello's final notes still lingered in the air.

This 300-square-meter, cold house has finally come to feel a touch of real human presence.

A soft metallic clanging sound came from the open kitchen.

"Ding-dong."

He Zheng stood in front of the marble island platform.

He was wearing a loose-fitting dark gray sweatshirt and black sweatpants today.

A floral apron was incongruously tied around her waist.

A 1.88-meter-tall, tough guy with broad shoulders, wearing this floral apron, looks so comical it's almost laughable.

On the island platform, there are several exquisite transparent glass jars containing top-quality bird's nest.

Yesterday, Lin Shufen specially had it delivered by courier, repeatedly reminding her that women who have just gotten married need to replenish their qi and blood, especially in winter, and must eat more bird's nest.

He Zheng was holding a black cell phone.
