Chapter 1791: Chapter 1811: Southern Lands Have Tall Trees (120)

Qin Shaonan glanced over and gave a "get lost" look.

Qin Shaojin, "..."

What brotherhood? It’s all nonsense!

Seeing him leave, Qin Shaonan walked over, held her face in his hands, "Haven’t seen you in days."

Qiao Qiao softly replied, "Yeah."

As soon as she spoke, he kissed her.

Qiao Qiao closed her eyes, still able to smell the gunpowder scent on his clothes, not knowing why, but finding it particularly comforting and safe.

...

Qin Shaojin wandered outside for a bit, then went to the tent where Shen You and Yu Zimu were staying.

Lifting the curtain and stepping inside, he immediately heard Yu Zimu’s teasing voice.

"Got kicked out?"

Qin Shaojin, "..."

Do you have to be so blunt!

Shen You looked up at Qin Shaojin, "It really is your own brother."

Qin Shaojin chuckled, "Yeah."

He gave Yu Zimu a kick and sat down beside him.

Shen You looked at Qin Shaojin, "Still in there?"

Qin Shaojin lightly coughed, "Why don’t you go check?"

Shen You looked at Yu Zimu, "You go check, we’re sending you as the representative."

Yu Zimu, "Get lost, do you think I’m living too well and want me to court death?"

Shen You with a straw in his mouth, lying there, looked at Yu Zimu, "You’re spot on, you snore every night, it’s driving me crazy."

Qin Shaojin thought about having to stay another night and only returning to the military district tomorrow, "How about this, Youzi, I’ll sleep here tonight, and switch with Yu Zimu, let him sleep over there."

Yu Zimu got goosebumps, "Qin Xiaosan, get out, you’re not welcome here!"

Qin Shaojin looked at Shen You, "What do you think?"

Shen You, "I think it’s fine."

Yu Zimu, "You’ll regret losing me this way!"

...

At night, Qiao Qiao found herself alone in her tent; the person sharing the tent with her was on night duty taking care of the injured.

She took her phone and texted Qin Shaonan, "Are you awake?"

Qin Shaonan, "Not asleep."

Qiao Qiao, "What about the tent?"

Qin Shaonan, "The tent isn’t for sleeping."

Qiao Qiao, "Then where are you going to sleep?"

Qiao Qiao turned her face, before she could reply, the tent flap suddenly opened.

She looked up and, with the moonlight streaming in from outside, saw it was him.

Qin Shaonan, "Come out."

Qiao Qiao climbed out from under the covers, "Won’t there be anyone outside?"

Qin Shaonan, "They’re all asleep."

Qiao Qiao, "..."

Everyone’s asleep, and he sneaked over?

Qin Shaonan took Qiao Qiao’s hand and led her into the dense forest.

Qiao Qiao, "..."

She didn’t know what he intended to do.

After about an hour’s walk, they came across a meadow.

In the moonlight, a black horse was tied to a post.

Qiao Qiao looked at Qin Shaonan, unsure of what he was planning.

Qin Shaonan walked over, untied the reins, held them in his hand, and looked at Qiao Qiao, "Get on."

Qiao Qiao looked at the tall horse and shook her head, "I don’t know how to ride."

Qin Shaonan, "I do."

Qiao Qiao, "..."

Qin Shaonan picked up Qiao Qiao and tossed her onto the horse.

Qiao Qiao, "..."

Sitting there, she adjusted her position, cautiously holding on, a bit scared. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Qin Shaonan looked at her, smiled coolly, "I thought you were always so brave."

This was the first time she saw him smile, and Qiao Qiao was mesmerized.

In the moonlight, his smile was as cool as the moon!

Qin Shaonan stopped smiling, returned to his cold demeanor, placed one hand on the horse’s back, leapt smoothly, and in the next second, was seated on the horse. His long legs clamped to the horse’s sides, his long arms wrapped tightly around Qiao Qiao, trapping her in his embrace, he signaled the horse, "Let’s go."
