Chapter 180: 180: Wei Qing's Thoughts
The sudden voice startled Liu Junyi, prompting her to quickly distance herself from Ye Fei arms. She subconsciously straightened her military uniform, which was only slightly disheveled, and said, "Is that Wei Qing? Come in."
Outside the door stood Wei Qing. Having practiced some internal skills, she woke after just two hours of sleep. As memories of her interaction with Ye Fei at the shooting range surfaced, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Although she had been drunk at the time, fragments of that moment lingered in her mind. She recalled not only asking Ye Fei who was prettier—herself or his aunt—but also taking the bold step of kissing him.
In the military camp, where most soldiers were male, she had always maintained her distance. Other than during combat competitions, there was no physical contact. Yet, today, she had lost her first kiss while intoxicated and had initiated it herself. She felt no justification to blame Ye Fei.
Reflecting on the incident left Wei Qing a bit angry, but she realized that her anger stemmed not from kissing Ye Fei in a daze, but from her own drunkenness—she hadn't even been able to savor the kiss.
This realization made her feel both ashamed and guilty, stirring a whirlwind of emotions within her. When she thought back to their first meeting, she remembered disliking Ye Fei. Now, her feelings were confused; normally, she would be furious that he had stolen her first kiss, yet she found herself wanting to see him again.
After hastily washing up, Wei Qing wandered aimlessly through the courtyard, trying to dispel the strange feelings swirling in her heart. However, instead of finding peace, her emotions only grew more chaotic, intensifying her curiosity about Ye Fei.
By chance, she found herself standing outside Liu Junyi's door. In a moment of spontaneity, she called out, "Report!"
Immediately regretting her choice of words, she thought about how little she knew Liu Junyi. What could she possibly ask her? She couldn't inquire about Ye Fei's usual behavior; that would be embarrassing. But since she had already attracted a response from inside, she felt she had no choice but to enter, mustering her courage.
Liu Junyi's demeanor had shifted since discovering that Ye Fei was not exclusive to her and Lin Ling. When she saw Wei Qing again, the earlier anger had vanished. She smiled lightly and said, "Please, make yourself comfortable. What can I do for you, Wei Qing?"
Wei Qing was momentarily taken aback; she hadn't expected Ye Fei to be there. Upon seeing him, her mind raced back to their previous encounter, and her cheeks flushed. For a moment, she failed to register that Liu Junyi was addressing her.
Noticing Wei Qing's flustered expression, Liu Junyi pouted in mild annoyance, rolling her eyes at Ye Fei, and reiterated her question.
Finally, Wei Qing gathered her wits and responded, "I wanted to ask when we can take action." As soon as the words left her lips, she realized how presumptuous she sounded, and her face reddened even more.
Ye Fei, unable to bear her embarrassment, smiled reassuringly and said, "My aunt and I are discussing the matter, and we'd like your input on whether this plan is feasible."
Liu Junyi shot Ye Fei a playful glare, suppressing her jealousy. "Yes, I'm a bit uncertain," she added, explaining Ye Fei's strategy to Wei Qing. She concluded with, "What do you think?"
Wei Qing's eyes lit up as she replied earnestly, "Captain Liu, I've just realized that you're not the commander-in-chief just because you're stronger than us. This plan is practically flawless."
Liu Junyi smiled slightly but didn't clarify that the plan had originated with Ye Fei. She decided to seize the opportunity to enhance her own standing with Wei Qing. If Wei Qing recognized Liu Junyi's capabilities, it might lead to her calling Liu Junyi "sister or maybe aunt" if she ever joined the Ye family. Though Liu Junyi was generous, she still had her feminine instincts.
Knowing that Wei Qing was present, Liu Junyi opted not to act affectionately toward Ye Fei. Rather than seeing them together without being able to enjoy it, she thought it best to fulfill their wish. "You two go ahead," she instructed. "I need some time to refine this plan further."
Wei Qing was surprised that Liu Junyi was letting Ye Fei accompany her. Flushing with both shyness and anticipation, she murmured, "Okay, Captain Liu, I'll head out first."
Ye Fei added, "Sister Wei, please wait outside for a moment. I'll join you after I finish talking with my aunt."
Wei Qing's face grew even redder at Ye Fei's ambiguous words, and she hurried out. Once the door closed behind her, Liu Junyi turned to Ye Fei and asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to discuss?"
After experiencing Wei Qing's first kiss, Ye Fei found her presence lingering in his heart, yet he prioritized Liu Junyi's feelings. He gently inquired, "Why are you letting me be with her? Aren't you jealous?"
"Don't be ridiculous!" Liu Junyi rolled her eyes at him, but her heart swelled with sweetness. It felt rewarding that he cared for her feelings so much.
Ye Fei chuckled, wrapped his arms around Liu Junyi, and whispered in her ear, "Are you truly not jealous? If you're unhappy, I can stay with you, I won't go anywhere."
Liu Junyi nestled in his embrace, but replied, "Stop with the nonsense. Do you think I don't know your devious thoughts? You're such a playboy, yet I can't help it—I like you. If I've chosen to accept you, I must accept everything that comes with it, including the women you like. But don't take it too far."
"Don't bring that up!" Wei Qing's face turned even redder, and she hastily cut him off. "We were just competing in marksmanship earlier at the shooting range, and nothing else happened. Say it out loud!"
In her flustered state. Wei Qing's words sounded like a little girl trying to cover up her feelings, which only made her seem even more endearing. Ye Fei couldn't help but tease her. "Yes, we were just competing in shooting, and my lovely Sister Qing definitely didn't kiss me on the lips ."
Blushing furiously. Wei Qing could no longer handle the embarrassment. She turned around and began to walk away. her body twisting in frustration as her body twisting in frustration as she headed toward her dormitory. After a few steps, she paused, spun around, and glared at Ye Fei. "You better not tell anyone, or I'll never forgive you!"
Watching Wei Qing's adorable reaction, Ye Fei smiled mischievously. "Don't worry. I have no intention of telling anyone. But you know. I have trouble keeping my mouth shut. I might need something to block it.
"
Still flustered and not quite understanding what he meant. Wei Qing responded quickly. "What do you need to block it? I'll find it for you!"
Ye Fei's grin widened. "Well, nothing ordinary will do. But if you let me taste your sweet little lips, that might just do the trick."
Finally catching on to his teasing, Wei Qing felt a mix of shame and indignation. Without another word, she stomped her foot in frustration and hurried back to her dormitory. Yet, deep down, an unexpected feeling of anticipation stirred within her at the thought of "shutting him up" with a kiss.
