Chapter 1637 - A secret

Translator: 549690339

Fu rongting still seemed calm.”Well, since you don’t want to, then let’s forget about this matter. I’ll explain it to my family. Don’t worry, you’ll still be my sister. ”

Fu rongting’s 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.

“I’m sorry ...”

“It’s okay, don’t feel pressured. You’ve always been my little sister. Just treat me as your big brother.”

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

But she still couldn’t 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.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Aren’t there any candles?”Zuo Jia asked curiously.

“There is.”

“Then why don’t you order it?”

“Because it’s a secret operation, we’re afraid of being discovered by others and it’s easy to attract wild beasts, so there can’t 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. It’s just to catch a few fugitives who crossed the border. They won’t 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?”

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

So dangerous?

Zuo Jia suddenly felt that she shouldn’t have come.

“Should I leave?”

Fu rongting slowly held Zuo Jia’s 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, “That’s not what I meant. I’m just afraid that I’ll be a burden to you. I’m not afraid of death!”

Fu rongting chuckled. He stood up, pulled Zuo Jia up, and led her out of the tent.”If there’s any danger, I won’t let you stay here. It’s very safe today, so you can stay here without worry. ”

They walked on the soft grass, 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 can’t be pretentious. It’s just a handshake, no big deal!

After that, Fu rongting touched her hair.

Zuo Jia slowly let out a breath and warned herself, I can’t be pretentious. It’s just touching my head, what’s 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, don’t you remember?”

“I was young then, but it’s different now!”

“Yeah, it’s 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 embarrassed and anxious. Fu rongting’s masculine aura surrounded her, making her blush and her heart beat faster.”Then why don’t 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.

“You’re letting go just because you’re 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 couldn’t be seen clearly. Zuo Jia’s face was red, and she couldn’t face anyone.

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

Then, she realized that Fu rongting’s heart was beating very, very fast.

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

That was impossible. Fu rongting’s 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 rongting’s heart rate, which was 55 per minute, close to the world’s best athletes.

Zuo Jia didn’t dare to count anymore.

She had discovered the secret deep in Fu rongting’s heart.

This secret made her even more ashamed.

She obediently shrank into Fu rongting’s arms, but he held her tighter and tighter.”Jia Jia, I’m very happy that you can come.”

Zuo Jia didn’t know how to respond to him, so she just listened quietly without saying anything.

But now, she finally understood Lou Ziling’s situation. She also understood that Lou Ziling’s 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 country’s 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 wasn’t 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 couldn’t bear to be cruel to Fu rongting.

It wasn’t until a figure slowly approached them that Zuo Jia nervously whispered,””Fu rongting, someone’s coming ...”

Fu rongting hummed lightly,””Don’t be afraid, they’re our people. ”

He took Zuo Jia’s hand and went back to the tent.”Rest early. I’ll send you off tomorrow morning.”

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

If he couldn’t 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. Don’t worry about me.”

“How can we do that? You’ll catch a cold like this. ”

Zuo Jia used the light from her phone screen to illuminate Fu rongting’s “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 rongting’s 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 rongting’s lips curled into a smile.
