Fu rongting still seemed calm.Well, since you dont want to, then lets forget about this matter. Ill explain it to my family. Dont worry, youll still be my sister.

Fu rongtings magnanimity made Zuo Jia feel even more ashamed.

She had never owed anyone anything in her life, but now she felt like she owed Fu rongting a lot.

Im sorry

Its okay, dont feel pressured. Youve always been my little sister. Just treat me as your big brother.

Fu rongtings words were very calm, and his expression was still gentle, which made Zuo Jia feel much better.

But she still couldnt say the word brother.

Since they were not related by blood, calling him brother always seemed to have a faint ambiguity.

The sky gradually darkened, but there was no light in the tent.

Arent there any candles?Zuo Jia asked curiously.

There is.

Then why dont you order it?

Because its a secret operation, were afraid of being discovered by others and its easy to attract wild beasts, so there cant be any light at night.

Zuo Jia wanted to ask him what kind of mission he was on, but she held back when she thought that it might be a military secret.

Fu rongting seemed to know what she was thinking. He said softly,The mission this time is very easy. Its just to catch a few fugitives who crossed the border. They wont be coming tonight. My people are just setting up a defense line here in advance.

Zuo Jia recalled that the soldiers she had seen were all wearing bulletproof vests and equipped with sniper rifles. Her heart suddenly felt heavy.What fugitive?

Theyre international murderers who are good at working as a group. They might have escaped to our country recently. The Interpol has asked for our countrys help, so I was sent here.

So dangerous?

Zuo Jia suddenly felt that she shouldnt have come.

Should I leave?

Fu rongting slowly held Zuo Jias hand in the dark.No need. I can protect you.

Zuo Jia saw that he had misunderstood and even forgot to pull her hand back. She said anxiously, Thats not what I meant. Im just afraid that Ill be a burden to you. Im not afraid of death!

Fu rongting chuckled. He stood up, pulled Zuo Jia up, and led her out of the tent.If theres any danger, I wont let you stay here. Its very safe today, so you can stay here without worry.

They walked on the soft gra.s.s, with stars in the sky above their heads. A crescent moon was hanging in the sky, and insects were chirping. The air was fresh, and everything here made people feel relaxed and happy.

Zuo Jia slowly relaxed, and then she realized that her hand was being held tightly by Fu rongting, and she could not pull it out even if she wanted to.

Zuo Jia took a deep breath and warned herself,I cant be pretentious. Its just a handshake, no big deal!

After that, Fu rongting touched her hair.

Zuo Jia slowly let out a breath and warned herself, I cant be pretentious. Its just touching my head, whats the big deal?

When Fu rongting hugged her under the moonlight and placed his chin on her forehead, Zuo Jia could no longer lie to herself. This was not a matter of being pretentious, but Fu rongting, that bad guy, was insatiable!

Fu rongting!

Jia Jia, call me brother.

Is there a brother who hugs his sister like this?

Why not? I used to hold you like this when you were little, dont you remember?

I was young then, but its different now!

Yeah, its a little different. Her chest had become bigger. Previously, when he was carrying her, they could be pressed tightly together.

Fu rongting did not dare to say the last sentence, in case Zuo Jia refused to let him carry her.

Zuo Jia was both embarra.s.sed and anxious. Fu rongtings masculine aura surrounded her, making her blush and her heart beat faster.Then why dont you let me go?

She thought that her voice was very strict, but her voice was naturally soft and beautiful, and no matter how she spoke, it sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

Youre letting go just because youre different?

Men and women are different!

Then you can treat me as a woman.

Zuo Jia was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet. How was he like a woman? How could she treat him as a woman?

Fortunately, it was night time, so her face couldnt be seen clearly. Zuo Jias face was red, and she couldnt face anyone.

Unable to break free, she could only lean her head against Fu rongtings chest, listening to his heartbeat and counting it.

Then, she realized that Fu rongtings heart was beating very, very fast.

Zuo Jia thought that she had counted wrong. She counted three times in a row, and Fu rongtings heartbeat was around 120 per minute.

That was impossible. Fu rongtings physical fitness was very good, and after long-term physical training, his heart and lungs had excellent function. A few days ago, old master Fu had even praised Fu rongtings heart rate, which was 55 per minute, close to the worlds best athletes.

Zuo Jia didnt dare to count anymore.

She had discovered the secret deep in Fu rongtings heart.

This secret made her even more ashamed.

She obediently shrank into Fu rongtings arms, but he held her tighter and tighter.Jia Jia, Im very happy that you can come.

Zuo Jia didnt know how to respond to him, so she just listened quietly without saying anything.

But now, she finally understood Lou Zilings situation. She also understood that Lou Zilings rejection of her and not giving her any hope was the right thing to do.

However, she could not be as heartless as Lou Ziling.

Maybe Lou Ziling hated her, which was why she could be so cold.

But she did not hate Fu rongting.

He was an outstanding man and an excellent soldier.

For the sake of the countrys stability and the safety of others, he gave up his luxurious villa and lived in a small tent instead. He was stationed at the border of the country and killed evil people.

If it wasnt for Lou Ziling, she might have fallen for him.

Her grandfather was also a soldier, and he was one of the people Zuo Jia respected the most.

She couldnt bear to be cruel to Fu rongting.

It wasnt until a figure slowly approached them that Zuo Jia nervously whispered,Fu rongting, someones coming

Fu rongting hummed lightly,Dont be afraid, theyre our people.

He took Zuo Jias hand and went back to the tent.Rest early. Ill send you off tomorrow morning.

Zuo Jia pulled her hand out of his.Alright, he said.

If he couldnt reject her face to face, then it was better not to meet her in the future.

Fu rongting gave the only small bed and blanket to Zuo Jia and settled her down. He went out to eat something, then drove around the various defense points to make sure there were no problems before returning to the camp.

He took a shower in the nearby stream and returned to his tent, still covered in water.

The bed was given to Zuo Jia. Fu rongting spread out his camouflage uniform on the ground and lay down.

Zuo Jia hesitated for a while and said in a soft voice,Fu rongting, come up and sleep. The floor is too cold.

No need, just go to sleep. Dont worry about me.

How can we do that? Youll catch a cold like this.

Zuo Jia used the light from her phone screen to illuminate Fu rongtings floor bed and saw that he had only put on a piece of clothing and was about to sleep with his hair wet. She suddenly got up, walked to her suitcase, and took out a white towel.

Dry your hair before you sleep.

No, my hair is very short.

Zuo Jia finally realized Fu rongtings stubbornness. She bit her lip, sat down next to him, wrapped his head with a towel, and started to wipe it.

In the dark, Fu rongtings lips curled into a smile.
