Chapter 20: Who Made You Provoke Me?

But the girl’s argument was logical, and he loved listening to her.

He frowned and said solemnly, “Don’t worry.”

With his words, Xia Keqing felt relieved.

In her previous life, she had seen many cases in the news where people’s college entrance exam scores were replaced in this era. If Xu Li really obtained her college admission through this method, she absolutely couldn’t stand by and watch.

She also had her own selfish motives in asking Shen Jichuan for help.

Shen Jichuan was a big shot in the military district.

He was already at the regiment level at this age. Anyone with a little common sense would know that this man had a promising future.

With his involvement, the higher-ups would definitely take this matter seriously.

If the Xu family dared to do such a thing, they would definitely be thoroughly investigated. I’ll just pretend I’m doing something for the good of the people.

Xia Keqing curled her lips, a bright smile on her face.

Shen Jichuan suddenly met her smiling eyes and was instantly stunned.

Xia Keqing was happy in her heart and directly grabbed the man’s hand.

The man’s fingers were long and rough, his palm was hot. Xia Keqing almost jumped at the temperature, but she was happy and decided not to hold it against Shen Jichuan.

She remembered a phrase she had read somewhere, saying that men with strong yang energy, with abundant vital essence, would have hot palms. This meant her future husband was healthy.

Finding a healthy man was always better than finding a sickly one, right?

She not only held his hand, but she also rubbed it against his palm again and again.

Shen Jichuan: …

The girl’s fingers were white and delicate, rubbing against him like a cat’s paws.

For Xia Keqing, this was a gesture of intimacy. She was increasingly fond of this man and wanted to have more physical contact with him. But many years later, Xia Keqing realized how big a cognitive mistake she had made.

Because of genetic differences, men and women were different.

A vigorous young man couldn’t resist a young and beautiful girl, especially his fiancée, rubbing against him like that.

A surge of heat rose up, a feeling both unfamiliar and familiar.

Shen Jichuan remained outwardly calm, but his body tensed up. It took him a lot of effort to suppress the fire in his lower abdomen. He turned his head to look at his little girl.

The girl had tied her hair in a strange style today.

All her hair was piled up at the back of her head, round and fluffy, but not perfectly neat. It seemed like some mischievous strands were always escaping, but overall, it was round and fluffy, revealing her snow-white and smooth forehead.

Her cheeks were fair and delicate, with a healthy glow.

Her eyes were big and bright.

And her waist, so slender, it seemed like he could hold it in his hand.

Actually, Shen Jichuan had never really observed women before.

He knew girls were different from them, but he hadn’t really looked closely at how.

He was a decent man, if he stared at other girls, wouldn’t that be harassment? He couldn’t do that, and he had to restrain his soldiers from doing so.

But Xia Xia was different.

She was his fiancée.

His parents had arranged their marriage.

It was fine to look at his fiancée, right?

But the more he looked, the more intense the fire in his heart burned.

Somehow, Shen Jichuan thought back to his childhood.

There were many children in the Shen family. Shen Jichuan was the third child, with two older brothers, two younger sisters, and a younger brother.

Most rural families were like this, who didn’t have a bunch of kids?

When they were young, the family was poor and there were so many children, they didn’t have enough space to sleep. They set up a big bunk bed in their parents’ room, and six children slept together. Their parents were separated from them by a curtain…

Shen Jichuan joined the army when he was only a teenager. Children at that age knew a little bit about things.

He knew he was having impure thoughts.

But they weren’t married yet, he couldn’t think like that.

Xia Keqing was completely unaware of Shen Jichuan’s inner turmoil. She asked him, “When are you leaving?”

Yes, the male lead was planning to leave.

“Did you buy your ticket?”

Shen Jichuan stared at her with deep eyes, as if he wanted to engrave her image in his heart.

Xia Keqing’s hand was also pinched a little painfully by him.

She finally realized what the fire in his eyes meant.

After all, she lived in a world of information explosion. Even if she hadn’t eaten pork, she had seen pigs run.

Xia Keqing felt like she had been scalded and awkwardly tried to pull her hand away.

But she found that Shen Jichuan was holding on tightly, and she couldn’t pull it out no matter what.

She could only softly whine, “You’re hurting me!”

Shen Jichuan released her, staring deeply at her, “Sorry.”

“Who made you provoke me?”

As soon as he arrived, she had brightened up at the sight of him, she had taken his arm, held his hand, and even shared her food with him.

Shen Jichuan was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very intelligent.

Did this mean the girl was very satisfied with him?

At least he was satisfied with his face, his appearance.

Since they were going to be husband and wife in the future, some things needed to be clarified.

Xia Keqing:?

No, Big Boss, were you possessed by someone?

Xia Keqing couldn’t handle such a man. She pretended to be nonchalant, “I didn’t, how did I provoke you? I’m your fiancée, I didn’t provoke you at all. It’s your parents who like me, they arranged our marriage, and you’re the one who came to find me.”

“It’s clearly you who provoked me.”

Shen Jichuan was directly amused by the girl’s words.

His tone was helpless and indulgent, “Alright, it’s me who provoked you.”

Xia Keqing’s ears turned red. She quickly changed the subject, “Brother Shen, you haven’t told me yet, did you buy your ticket? Or did you come with…”

She actually wanted to say, was it like in those period dramas, where cadres had special cars to pick them up.

Shen Jichuan was a regiment-level cadre, and at his level, he actually had the privilege.

Xia Keqing only then remembered that she didn’t even know how he got here.

Did he come by special car or by train?

But no matter what, it was kind of romantic for him to come all the way from the army to see his fiancée, wasn’t it?

Shen Jichuan frowned, “What?”

Xia Keqing blushed, “It’s the special car, the army has special cars for you cadres, right?”

“I heard those green jeeps are so cool!”

Speaking of green jeeps, Xia Keqing automatically imagined the kind of car from those period dramas, a big, handsome car, plus a tall and handsome man in military uniform, hormones exploding, alright?

Shen Jichuan didn’t change the subject. He stared into the girl’s eyes and answered her seriously, “Yeah, I came by special car, I didn’t buy a ticket.”

Xia Keqing’s eyes widened.

Shen Jichuan liked to see her eyes shining brightly, but he found it a little funny.

The army’s cars were indeed open to cadres, but he wasn’t at the level of having a special car yet. Many people could use this car, and he just happened to be going to the provincial capital at the same time as another cadre, so they came together.

On the way, the other cadre had to go do something else, so the car was given to him first.

They had agreed to pick him up in the afternoon, and they would go back to the army together.
