That lunatic Chiang Qing coming to Qing City felt like a heavy shadow hanging over Qi Taiguo, making him anxious beyond relief.
On the other hand, Cheng Su was very calm, as if she didnât care about Chiang Qing at all, even teasing Qi Taiguo: "You go out to kill enemies, take on countless missions, and arenât afraid of gunfire, yet youâre afraid of a woman like Chiang Qing?"
Qi Taiguo smiled bitterly, saying afraid, maybe, but also maybe not.
If Chiang Qing came in plain sight, he wouldnât be afraid, but precisely because he didnât know when she would explode, he felt uneasy and insecure.
"Youâre just carefree, donât you know this woman is a ticking time bomb?" Qi Taiguo glared at her and said.
"I know, but think about it. Our panic and unease are just playing into her hands, right? Maybe she sees you this anxious and feels quite happy!" Cheng Su shrugged, saying, "This proves she has the ability to affect you, affect us!"
Qi Taiguoâs face darkened.
Cheng Su hugged his waist, pressed her face to his back, and said, "If her obsession hasnât faded, then all she wants is you, wants to drive a wedge between us and tear us apart. As long as we, as a couple, are united with one heart and mind, Chiang Qing wonât find a crack to exploit."
Qi Taiguo sneered, Cheng Su was comparing Chiang Qing to a fly.
"Thatâs the way to laugh." Cheng Su turned around, mimicked his usual manner and pinched his cheek, then held his face with both hands and said seriously, "Taiguo, the less we understand the enemy and opponentâs schemes, the calmer and brighter our smiles need to be, to leave them perplexed and anxious, then we can find a flaw."
Qi Taiguo looked into her eyes, in her pupils, clearly reflected was his own image.
"The military books say, when the enemy doesnât move, we donât move, right? Chiang Qing has suffered major losses, she must have grown, but sheâs not the only one who has grown, we have grown alongside her too. If we lose control before she does, then we lose." Cheng Su continued.
Qi Taiguo immediately felt ashamed, he, a man, more restless than a woman, how embarrassing, despite being a soldier who has been on the battlefield and crawled through the piles of dead bodies!
"Iâm sorry, Iâve made you worry. Iâm a man, should protect you and comfort you, but instead, you have to comfort me, thatâs my fault." Qi Taiguo embraced her, kissed the top of her head and said.
Cheng Su wrapped her arms around his lean waist and said, "Everyone has soft spots and weaknesses, and your weakness is me, so itâs inevitable that you worry and feel anxious, itâs perfectly understandable."
Upon hearing this, Qi Taiguo embraced her even tighter.
"Taiguo, donât let your weaknesses be so easily exposed for others to see, you need to learn to show no emotion." Cheng Su pressed her face to his chest and said.
Qi Taiguoâs body trembled slightly, he lowered his head to look at her.
Cheng Su curved her lips and displayed a bright smile, saying, "Itâs enough for me to know your affection, I believe I hold an important place here in you."
Her hand rested on his heart, feeling his strong heartbeat: "We donât need to show our bond to anyone, as long as you and I know in our hearts, thatâs how we protect ourselves and each other."
"You, how can I ever let you go!" Qi Taiguoâs heart trembled, he lifted her lips and kissed them.
She is his weakness, doesnât need telling, everyone knows.
And for her, he is the same!
