Chapter 164: Chapter 165 Addictive
All right, he made a good point.
The autumn rain began to fall outside, and the weather was much colder than during the day. Xu Qigang insisted that Sheng Ningâs leg was injured and that he would have to carry her back.
âOkay!â Sheng Ning happily laid on Xu Qigangâs broad back, a satisfied smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
The pitter-patter of light rain fell on Sheng Ningâs shoulders, and she suddenly wondered if Xu Qigang was deliberately plotting against her.
She was getting rained on.
But on second thought, the fact that she could lie on Xu Qigangâs back made her feel so happy that she was bubbling with joy.
Along the way, they encountered comrades from the War Wolf Rescue Team, each one grinning foolishly.
Xu Qigang, carrying her, nodded with utter composure, looking as relaxed as if he were on a leisurely stroll.
âCaptain, itâs raining, quickly get an umbrella for sister-in-law,â Liu Chun was just like a caring little cotton-padded jacket, handing an umbrella to Sheng Ning and running away embarrassed.
âDid you get wet? Remember to take a hot bath when you get back,â Xu Qigang said, furrowing his brows as he quickened his pace.
Holding the umbrella, Sheng Ningâs mind wandered off to the sky. She wildly guessed, âXu Qigang, what type of person do you like?â
âSomeone like you!â
Sheng Ningâs face turned as red as an apple, âYouâre grown up now, who have you dated before?â Perhaps it was a common weakness among women, the more interested they were, the more they wanted to delve into the details.
Even though she knew it wasnât right, she couldnât help making it hard for herself.
Xu Qigang paused, a male discomfort showing on his face. âNone!â She must be disdainful of his age, right?
âNone what?â
âIâve never been with anyone!â Xu Qigangâs voice raised quite a bit, and he even sounded a tad annoyed.
He swore, if she dared to ask him again why he had never been in a relationship, he would definitely kiss her fiercely!
âWhy?â Sheng Ning clearly didnât believe it. Although Xu Qigang was often cold and fierce, he was especially sunny and masculine, and the key point was he was also very good-looking. Paired with his tall and upright figure, any woman who saw him would get carried away with thoughts.
Xu Qigang stopped, his wrist flipped, and somehow, in a dizzying spin, Sheng Ning was no longer on his back but was being cradled at his waist.
He looked at her through gritted teeth, âYou really donât know?â
âUmm⊠I donât know!â She laughed as she shook her head, the happier she became seeing Xu Qigang angry yet not lashing out.
âBecause itâs intimidating!â Xu Qigang snorted in defeat. How could it be that things he had never cared about before, even thought were fine, suddenly seemed shameful when spoken in front of her?
Fortunately, he was tall with long legs, and soon they arrived at the girlsâ dormitory. Everyone else was still out training, and it was empty inside. Xu Qigang pushed open the door, looked straight ahead, and placed Sheng Ning on his bed. Then he straightened up, gazing intently at her.
Sheng Ning felt breathless under his gaze. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, âWhat are you looking at?â
âIâm looking because youâre pretty,â Xu Qigang nodded solemnly and sincerely.
âYouâŠâ I didnât expect you to be like this, Xu Qigang. âArenât you leaving yet?â Everyone will be back soon.
âLeaving!â Xu Qigang said he would leave, but he didnât move for a long time.
Sheng Ning was annoyed by his bold, fiery gaze, âYou said you were leaving, so why havenât you left?â
âI donât want to leave!â Xu Qigang pursed his lips, finding her flushed cheeks irresistible, beautiful. He couldnât help wanting to pinch her face, and as he came to his senses, he shockingly found his hand frozen on her delicate cheek, the pleasant feel of her skin addictive.
