Mu Xichen was a little unhappy, but given the situation, he wordlessly herded her into the car and sent her back to the military base.

  “I have to stay in Ming City for a few days. I’ll come and see you when I return.” Mu Xichen unbuckled his seat belt and leaned towards her. “Kiss me.”

  Li Beinian was a little stunned. She looked around and then stealthily gave him a peck on his face.

  There was a look of knowing in Mu Xichen’s eyes as he pinned her down with his body and kissed her lips aggressively, sucking and nibbling at it like it was her punishment.

  Feeling the pain, Li Beinian frowned slightly. However, in order to placate him, she did not resist. Instead, she returned his act with equal aggressiveness and sucked on his lips in revenge.

  The two of them sparred for a long time before Mu Xichen finally released her.

  Li Beinian felt her lips burning. She reached out to touch them and realized that they were indeed swollen.

  She glared at him angrily and said, “You did it on purpose!”

  Mu Xichen looked at her swollen lips and said with renewed vigor, “We’re even.”

  “How is it even? I still have to go back to the dormitory!”

  Mu Xichen pointed to his mouth. “I have to be back in the office too.”

  “Hmph!” Li Beinian was furious. She unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.

  \r \r \r

  She slammed the car door shut furiously and ran towards the dormitory.

  After running for a long time, Li Beinian turned around.

  The vast field was illuminated by the sun. The dust obscured the military-green Hummer as it sped away. It soon disappeared into the distance.

  There was a dull ache in Li Beinian’s heart. She looked into the horizon wistfully and licked her slightly swollen lips.

  Indeed…… they hadn’t been together for a long time.

  Soon!

  Li Beinian turned around and walked up the stairs to the dormitory.

  As she passed by the third floor, she suddenly saw a figure standing with his back towards the stairs.

  Li Beinian was stunned. The man had already turned around.

  It was Feng Yiran.

  When Feng Yiran turned around and saw Li Beinian, he was visibly happy. “You’re back.”

  Li Beinian blinked in surprise. “What are you doing here?”

  Waiting for you.

  Feng Yiran smiled shyly and said, “My comrades in the dormitory are sleeping. I couldn’t sleep so I came out to take a breather.”

  Li Beinian nodded. “I’m going back upstairs.”

  “Beinian.” Feng Yiran stopped her. He looked at her red lips and opened his mouth. “What’s wrong with your mouth?”

  Li Beinian pursed her lips and said, “I just went out for dinner. I ate something spicy and it’s swollen from the heat.”

  “Oh…… who did you go with?”

  Li Beinian subconsciously looked out from where he was standing earlier on. After making sure that he couldn’t see the main entrance from that position, she said, “My assistant. I had asked her to buy a few things.”

  Feng Yiran nodded, looking a little embarrassed.

  Seeing that he did not pursue the matter, Li Beinian heaved a sigh of relief.

  Feng Yiran continued, “We’re going to a gathering tonight. You know that, right? You have to come.”

  Li Beinian smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

  He looked at Li Beinian’s back view and couldn’t help but feel excited.

  Especially when he thought of her fair face and ruby lips that were so attractive, he felt even more restless.

  Li Beinian was outstanding in all aspects. Her looks and character were impeccable.

  Feng Yiran felt the stirrings of his own heart and couldn’t stop himself.

  Finally, Li Beinian was back upstairs. Everyone else in the dormitory was asleep.

  She quietly took off her jacket and shoes, then carefully got into bed, not even daring to change her pants.

  She fell asleep as soon as she laid down.

  Recently, she had been too tired, falling into a dreamless sleep and not waking till it was dawn.

  Today was no exception. She slept through till the late afternoon before being woken up by Wang Shao.
