368 367: Do what needs to be done

Hmm?

When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, the smile in her eyes deepened. Then, she said, "No? Eh, look at my memory. Sister-in-law Qin, take care. We'll go home first."

Qin Juan was a little puzzled by Kang Xiaoqiao's meaning. However, since she said that her memory was bad, she did not pursue the matter. After saying goodbye, she turned around and left.

Lu Yichen did not hear Yang Wanli's words, so he did not know. When Kang Xiaoqiao walked back, he also followed.

She unlocked the door and entered the house, but the bone-chilling coldness still didn't go away.

In the past, when he returned home, her sister Kang Daqiao would immediately start a fire, and it wouldn't be long before the house would become warm. Every time Kang Xiaoqiao went out alone, the house would also be warm when she came back.

But this time, the house seemed much more deserted. Even with Lu Yichen standing by her side, it still felt deserted.

Lu Yichen probably also noticed Kang Xiaoqiao's thoughts, so he opened his mouth and said, "You're tired from the journey. You rest first. I'll light the stove, and the house will be warm in a while."

Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "Okay--"

Then, she put down her backpack and took off her coat. Then, she sat on the stool and looked at Lu Yichen with sparkling eyes as he lit the stove.

Lu Yichen saw that she was looking straight at him with her hands resting on her cheeks, and his heart was beating wildly. However, he still pretended to ignore her. After a while, Lu Yichen coughed and said, "Ahem, why are you looking at me like that?"

Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao immediately said, "I missed you--"

Lu Yichen's face turned red, as if he had a fever.

Kang Xiaoqiao then said with a smile, "Have you missed me these past few days? Hmm?"

Lu Yichen added more firewood into the stove as he said with a red face, "A little!"

Kang Xiaoqiao said exaggeratedly, "Only a little?"

Lu Yichen was stunned by her big action. "Ahem, that, I really, really miss you. Hmm, I really miss you."

When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, she said with a smile, "Hmph, that's more like it."

Lu Yichen was puzzled. How could a little girl like Kang Xiaoqiao be so good at flirting? Compared to Kang Xiaoqiao, the girls he met in the past were really weak.

He felt disgusted when he saw those people, but they were also trying to seduce him. Kang Xiaoqiao had made so many bold moves, and he felt that she was really cute. This was really--

After a while, the fire rose. Perhaps it was because the fire was too hot, or perhaps it was because of something else, but both of them felt unusually hot.

Kang Daqiao was no longer here, and the entire room became their private world.

Then, shouldn't they start talking about the things they hadn't done before and the things they loved to do?

Kang Xiaoqiao licked her lips and looked greedily at Lu Yichen, revealing a row of white teeth. "It's already dark."

Lu Yichen looked out of the window when he heard that. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Yes, the sun is about to set."

Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes were full of smiles as she said, "Then--"

Lu Yichen looked over. Before he had any other expressions, Kang Xiaoqiao opened her mouth and asked, "Then what shall we eat tonight?"

"I've been starving the entire way here. It's cold and hungry. More importantly, Xiao Wang's driving skills are good. The problem is that it's uncomfortable for me to sit in the back. It's so uncomfortable that it's killing me."

"I had breakfast at five in the morning. I was in a rush at noon and didn't have time to eat. Yichen, I've already been here for more than ten hours."

...

Kang Xiaoqiao's pitiful look immediately stunned Lu Yichen. At the same time, he was slightly disappointed. He didn't know why he was disappointed.

However, Kang Xiaoqiao was so hungry that she looked miserable. Lu Yichen opened his mouth and said, "Bear with it for a while. I'll make you a hot noodle soup. It'll be quick."

Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes lit up when she heard that. She nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Not long after, the hot noodle soup was ready. Each of them had a big bowl and a poached egg. They looked at each other and ate happily.

This was the first time that the two of them had gotten so close to each other without any obstacles since they had established their relationship. To be honest, Kang Xiaoqiao's heart was beating wildly.

This was a beautiful time and place. If nothing happened, how could she let the audience down?

Just as Kang Xiaoqiao was daydreaming, Lu Yichen suddenly raised his head and listened carefully.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door. "Reporting, Vice Squadron Leader Lu--"

When Lu Yichen heard this, he put down his chopsticks and left. Kang Xiaoqiao looked at the two of them at the door. They could not see clearly through the curtain, let alone hear what they were saying.

Not long after, Lu Yichen returned and said with a dark face, "Xiaoqiao, I have something to do. I'll leave first. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back tonight. You can sleep at home alone."

"If you're afraid, ask Sister-in-law Wang's daughter to come over and accompany you."

Kang Xiaoqiao opened her mouth in a daze and said, "Ah?"

In the end, Lu Yichen instantly lowered his head and kissed Kang Xiaoqiao's little face. "Be good, don't be afraid--"

"There's a program in the department tomorrow. I think I'll be able to come back."

Then, he put on his hat and turned to leave. He left in a free and unrestrained manner. He didn't even give her a head, not even a superfluous look.

Kang Xiaoqiao was left alone sitting on the kang facing a big bowl of hot soup noodles on the table. Then, she muttered, "He left? Just like that?"

"F*ck, I spent so much effort to travel for a whole day, and in the end, he just left like that. Hmph, this is outrageous."

Kang Xiaoqiao slammed her chopsticks down heavily.

However, it was useless even if she was angry. Lu Yichen naturally couldn't come back.

Perhaps it was because she was too tired from the torturous day, Kang Xiaoqiao actually slept until dawn. When she opened her eyes, she found that other than the coldness in the house, it was still cold.

She stretched her hand out of the blanket. It was so cold that she was shivering. At this moment, she missed Kang Daqiao very much.

In the past, no matter when she woke up, the house would always be warm. In the morning, she would wash up and have hot water boiled. However, from today onwards, she would have to do all of this herself.

Sigh--

After missing Kang Daqiao for a while, she quickly got up and quickly lit the stove. At this moment, Kang Xiaoqiao had changed a lot since she first came here.

The burning of the stove was already child's play to her. After a simple breakfast, she began to dress up beautifully.

Today was the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival. The ministry had a program.

So, early in the morning, the military compound was very lively. There were only two large-scale events this year, so everyone was very active.

Although Kang Xiaoqiao was not very interested in such a program, since she had caught up, she also went to join in the fun. She had been here for so long, so there was too little entertainment.

The Chinese liked to be lively, and Kang Xiaoqiao was no exception. Before she finished, someone came from the yard. Kang Xiaoqiao did not need to think to know who it was.

She quickly put on her scarf and quickly went out. She laughed and said, "Haha, Sister-in-law Wu, I guessed it was you."

However, unlike the previous few times, this time, Wu Xiaoyan did not enter with a smile. Instead, she looked anxious.

"Sister Xiaoqiao, quick--"
