Hello, Mr. Major General

The moveable panel on Gu Nianzhi’s roof was left open.

The two of them lay in the treehouse. When they opened their eyes, they could see the dark blue night sky through the transparent tempered glass roof as specks of starlight shined through the branches of the trees.

Gu Nianzhi lay in Huo Shaoheng’s arms and hugged his neck. She said contentedly, “Huo Shaoheng, I like this treehouse very much. Thank you.”

Huo Shaoheng glanced at her. “How are you going to thank me?”

Gu Nianzhi, “…”

“Didn’t I already thank you?”

“By simply saying thank you? Is that even considered a thank you?” Huo Shaoheng closed his eyes and mocked Gu Nianzhi without batting an eyelid.

Gu Nianzhi thought for a moment. She leaned over and quickly kissed Huo Shaoheng on the lips.

Huo Shaoheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. “That’s not enough. You have to kiss for at least five minutes. French kiss.”

Gu Nianzhi, “…”

Her voluptuous lips curled up. “French kiss? But I don’t know how…”

“You don’t know how? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ll teach you.” Huo Shaoheng turned over and lay face to face with her. He held the back of her head with one hand and kissed her.

The tip of his tongue penetrated deeply past her tightly shut lips.

Gu Nianzhi did not move. She slowly relaxed her lips and let him enter.

Her heart was beating very fast. It was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

Perhaps it was because they were kissing in the treehouse, the transparent roof was dotted with starlight. They were just like a pair of wild lovebirds in the wild.

This realization made her tremble uncontrollably. The sensation of their lips touching was magnified infinitely.

Time slowed down. Every movement of his was frozen like a statue. It was etched in her heart and left a lasting aftertaste.

It was not the first time they had kissed, but it was the first time she had realized how exciting it was to kiss like this.

It was merely the touch of lips and tongue, but a numbing sensation flowed through her entire body. Every time the tip of his tongue touched hers, it would cause a lightning-like sensation.

It did not take long for her to start panting. Huo Shaoheng’s breathing also became much heavier.

It was just a kiss, but when the two of them were separated, they both felt their bodies and hearts go wild.

“… have you learned? Now it’s your turn…” Huo Shaoheng said hoarsely. He parted his lips in front of her and waited for the tip of her tongue to enter.

Gu Nianzhi really wanted to kiss him for a while more.

She closed her eyes and inserted the tip of her tongue into Huo Shaoheng’s mouth, imitating his actions and letting him hold her.

Huo Shaoheng’s hand caressed her back, up and down.

When she kissed him deeply, his hand would suddenly exert more strength. Her waist was almost crushed by him.

When she wanted to withdraw, he would gently pinch her waist again.

It was as if she was walking on a tightrope. All her senses were suspended midair, and the slightest breeze would cause her to collapse…

…

When she woke up in the morning, she heard a few crisp bird calls.

She opened her eyes, and the morning sunlight shone through the tempered glass on the roof.

After filtering through the phoenix tree leaves, the sunlight was no longer as hot. It left mottled dots on the thin quilt.

The pair of magpies also woke up.

One was walking around the roof curiously, pecking occasionally.

Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes and saw the silhouette of a bird.

She placed her hand on her forehead to block out the glaring sunlight. She muttered,”… you’re a magpie, so don’t imitate a woodpecker. Besides, this isn’t a tree, why are you pecking at my roof?”

Perhaps her nagging worked, or perhaps the little magpie was tired of playing around. After a while, it spread its wings and flew away.

Gu Nianzhi turned her head and saw Huo Shaoheng sleeping beside her. She leaned her head against his arm in satisfaction and said, “Good morning.”

Huo Shaoheng did not open his eyes. He followed the voice and kissed her face. “Good morning.”

His deep and magnetic voice sounded a little lazy as he had just woken up. Gu Nianzhi’s ears turned red.

Huo Shaoheng opened his eyes and saw that her white jade-like earlobes were tinged with a faint red glow. They were like fine pink tourmaline, but also like sweet flesh of lychee fruit. They were clear and moist and tempted him to take a bite.

Huo Shaoheng did take a bite, leaving two faint bite marks on her earlobes.

Gu Nianzhi covered her ears and quickly stepped back. “Are you a dog? Why do you always bite people?”

Huo Shaoheng raised an eyebrow. “Always? When have I ever bitten you?”

Gu Nianzhi was at a loss for words but was unwilling to lose out. She rolled her eyes and mumbled, “… Every time. Have you forgotten?”

Huo Shaoheng looked down at her. “Did you say earlobes? Or…”

His gaze wandered from her delicate collarbone to the deep, shadowy ravines hidden beneath her collarbone.

Gu Nianzhi’s ears turned red.

Huo Shaoheng chuckled softly and moved closer to her ear. His voice was so deep that it sounded like it was resonating from his chest. “… silly girl, that’s not biting, that’s eating…”

Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes tightly and reached out accurately to cover Huo Shaoheng’s mouth. She refused to let him continue speaking.

It was the same every time. In this regard, Huo Shaoheng could make her run away with just a few words.

The two of them stayed in the treehouse for a while longer before getting up to go to the bathroom to wash up.

Gu Nianzhi went to the bathroom to take a shower.

She had slept with Huo Shaoheng in the treehouse the night before. Although they hadn’t done anything else other than kissing, Gu Nianzhi still felt her back ache, as if she had done something.

She was also puzzled. It was just a kiss. How could it have such an effect?

Huo Shaoheng returned to his room and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Gu Nianzhi was still mourning for her parents. Huo Shaoheng did not do that with Gu Nianzhi. Although he really wanted to, as the son-in-law of Gu Xiangwen and his wife, he could not do that.

But last night, they had merely kissed in the tree house. Yet, he had been strangely satisfied.

If this continued, Huo Shaoheng did not know how deep his feelings for Gu Nianzhi would grow.

When it came to relationships, some men were very passionate from the start and were as good as textbook model boyfriends. However, these types of relationships usually didn’t last very long.

As long as you got a woman, it would only get worse and worse.

There was another type of man who would warm up very slowly. In the beginning, he might make you unhappy, but as long as you let him warm up to you, no one would be able to compare to his intensity. He would continue to warm up for the rest of his life.

Gu Nianzhi was very glad that she had met the latter type of man.

She changed her clothes and came out. When she sat in front of the dressing table to do her skin care, she realized that her earlobes were more tender than usual.

She touched them with her hand, and she could still feel the warmth of Huo Shaoheng’s burning tongue, as well as the feeling of his teeth gently biting her ear.

“He really is a dog, yet he still refuses to admit it…” Gu Nianzhi looked at the dressing table mirror and laughed softly.

Speaking of ‘a dog’ Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help thinking of the purebred little corgi Ako that the cute little boy from Russia had given her.

Ever since she had returned to the country, she had been so busy that she hadn’t gone to see it.

During breakfast, Gu Nianzhi asked about little corgi Ako.

“Huo Shao, I recall that you sent it to the military camp to train with the other military dogs. Can I go and see it?”
