Huo Yanqing removed the cigarette from his mouth. "Can I just throw the cigarette on the floor?" Before Shuxin could reply, he added, "I don't want to leave your scent."
Shuxin was speechless. Did he mean that he wouldn't be able to smell her if he threw the cigarette butt inside?
"Let me hold it," Shuxin said as she reached out to take the cigarette between Huo Yanqing's slender fingers.
Huo Yanqing let go of the cigarette and placed his hand back on the railing, keeping his arm around her. "Are you trying to urge me to get married?"
"That's not what I meant." Shuxin blushed and shook her head hurriedly. "I just … I just …"
Shuxin didn't know how to explain it. She had said that they wouldn't be together until they registered their marriage. It seemed like she was urging him to get married, but that wasn't what she meant.
Huo Yanqing smiled faintly and lowered his head to kiss Shuxin on the top of her head. "I'm just teasing you. I know what you mean and I respect your decision."
Shuxin was extremely touched. "Really?"
"Yeah." Huo Yanqing's voice was firm. Two seconds later, he said, "Actually, I wasn't kidding when I told you that we should go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register our marriage. But after thinking about it, I realized that I was being too impatient. I'm a soldier and marriage is more strict. You're not yet 20 years old and haven't reached the legal age for marriage. So let's just follow your procedures step by step. There's no need to rush."
Shuxin didn't expect Huo Yanqing to be so considerate. She also didn't expect him to really want to marry her. Her heart was instantly filled with happiness. "Thank you."
Huo Yanqing retracted his hands from the railing and hugged Shuxin from behind. He bent slightly and rested his chin on Shuxin's shoulder. "Silly, what are you thanking me for?"
Shuxin raised her hand slightly. She was holding an unextinguished cigarette in her hand, afraid that it would burn him. The corners of her mouth curled up like a happy woman. "Thank you for being so good to me."
Huo Yanqing didn't say anything else. He leaned his nose closer to Shuxin's long hair. The faint fragrance of her hair mixed with her feminine fragrance was especially pleasant.
Neither of them said a word as they stood quietly on the balcony.
Shuxin's heart gave birth to a kind of how good it would be if time could stop at this moment.
After some time, Huo Yanqing's low and hoarse voice sounded in Shuxin's ears. "How am I going to live before you turn 20?"
Shuxin was stunned for a moment, but she instantly understood the meaning behind Huo Yanqing's words. Blushing, she whispered, "Don't you men have many ways to release?"
"You mean find another woman?"
"Of course not!" Shuxin's voice suddenly became louder. Her delicate eyebrows were tinged with worry. "If you dare to find another woman, I'll ignore you for the rest of my life."
"I wouldn't dare." Huo Yanqing's low laughter escaped from the depths of his throat.
When Shuxin heard this man, who had always been high and mighty and who only others dared to say that he wouldn't dare, suddenly say these two words in front of her, the worry in her heart faded away instantly. Biting her lip, she said softly, "If you really can't … I … I can help you …"
"You'll help me?"
"… Mm."
Huo Yanqing's eyes were full of smiles. "How can you help me?"
"With … with your hands." Shuxin's voice was so soft that she almost couldn't hear herself.
Huo Yanqing's handsome brows furrowed slightly. "Who taught you all this?"
Shuxin bit her slightly swollen red lips, too embarrassed to say it out loud.
