Gu Xiaoxi sat on the sofa at home, watching the news. After a moment, she closed her laptop and checked the time.
She estimated that Quan Shaoqing should be returning.
Indeed, a short while later, she heard the sound of a car engine outside the door.
She got up from the sofa with a smile and ran towards the door.
There she saw Quan Shaoqing, dressed in dark green military uniform, getting out of the car.
His tall figure and steely gaze only seemed more handsome in her eyes.
Even the moment he looked up, his ice-like eyes exuded an indescribable charm.
Quan Shaoqing, seeing her, casually took off his military cap and, from a distance, flashed her a faint smile.
That smile was shallow, not radiant, yet it outshone all the flowers in the garden.
Gu Xiaoxi beamed, hands crossed over her chest as she watched him, her heartbeat quietly changing its rhythm.
His towering figure approached, moving against the evening breeze.
She sized him up.
He was doing the same to her.
