Chapter 258

The second timeline, Federal Military Base.

The sound of military boots echoed in the prison corridor, making a heavy and rhythmic 'clack-clack' sound.

At this moment, the Federal Prison had become a ghost town; there were no prisoners locked in each cell, but rather half-open iron doors, which was very eerie.

On the floor of the corridor were corpses strewn about in disarray. Judging by the degree of stiffness, the bodies had been there for some time. They were all wearing Federal uniforms, and each face bore an expression of astonishment that had been cut short, indicating they had died suddenly.

Standing right among these corpses was a person wearing military boots.

They had no face; their features looked as if they had been sanded away. There were no eyebrows, no bridge of a nose, only two eye sockets and nostrils, and the upper and lower lips were stitched together. From the back, they looked like a normal person, but once they turned around, they were like the protagonist in a Western horror movie, which was hair-raising.

The faceless person passed by these corpses, walked all the way out of the prison, and arrived at the plaza leading to the main entrance.

The ground had been scorched by the sun, and the blood covering the ground was firmly stuck to it. At first glance, it looked like red asphalt, emitting a pungent, fishy smell like rust.

There were even more corpses here than in the prison, and there were traces of heavy weapons having been used.

The corpses were piled one on top of another, forming small hills in the vast plaza.

The faceless person looked around, kicked the head of a corpse with their military boot, and sighed. Inside the body of a 1.8-meter-tall male, the voice that spoke was a delicate female voice—

"Oh my, cheating is the most annoying thing."

The fourth timeline, Aosilan Diguo, Huangting.

Qiao Suisui chatted with the children for a while and asked about their enlistment matters. She had intended to take on the posture of a parent to properly comfort Hawisi and the others about their reluctance to leave home, but who knew she would instead be comforted by the children in turn.

"Mom, we're leaving. You must eat on time and take care of yourself. We'll be back soon."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll perform well and rush back as soon as training ends, Mom, don't be sad."

"My brothers and I will look out for each other. Mom, we'll send you messages whenever we have time."

"Mom, I heard from Father that you argued with him because of our enlistment. Father told me to tell you not to ignore him—no, wait, Father didn't tell me to say that, I wanted to say it myself."

"Mom, don't you worry! I will definitely work hard, not lose face for you, and strive to outperform my brothers! I'll tell everyone that we females are no weaker than males!"

Qiao Suisui was surrounded by the young boys and girls, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Time passed unknowingly. In the end, it was Ka'er who, fearing she was too tired, urged the children to leave quickly and pack their things so they wouldn't leave anything behind.

After they all left, the reception hall suddenly became quiet. Compared to the liveliness just a moment ago, there was a sudden sense of loss, and Qiao Suisui really felt a bit reluctant in her heart for a moment.

Ka'er walked over and sat beside her, resting his head on her small shoulder, tilting his head to look at her. "Sad?"

"A little bit. I used to think there was always time to spend with them. Now that I have the time, I find that they have all grown up and don't need me anymore, but rather a broader world."

Ka'er's arm wrapped around her waist from behind, pinching the soft flesh on her lower abdomen twice, making her itch and want to laugh.

"What are you doing? Stop it, Ka'er."

The two of them squeezed onto a single sofa, playing around. Qiao Suisui, having no other choice as he pestered her, deliberately put on a straight face and ordered, "You, go sit over there. Why do you keep squeezing me?"

Ka'er, shameless, pressed against her, picked her up and put her on his lap, saying, "Isn't it not crowded now? I'll sit on the sofa, and you sit on me."

Hearing the last half of the sentence, Qiao Suisui's face turned red instantly, and she angrily punched his shoulder, which was like tickling him. But since his wife was a little angry, he didn't dare to be so rogue anymore, so he raised his hands in surrender and changed his offensive strategy—using his mouth instead of his hands.

Ka'er leaned over to kiss her. Qiao Suisui turned her face to the left, so he kissed her right cheek; she turned her face to the right, so he kissed her left cheek. In any case, he always took advantage of her being unprepared to kiss her, saying sorry after every kiss.

At first, it was like playful kissing, but as it went on, the kisses became lighter, slower, more lingering, and more entangled. Qiao Suisui's hands unconsciously rested on the man's broad shoulders. The sturdy muscles had become tightly tensed at some point, and the body temperature under his clothes had also become very scorching.

She leaned back unconsciously as she was kissed. Ka'er quickly supported her waist and pulled her into his arms.

"I missed you."

Ka'er tilted his neck, watching her with such focus and seriousness.

"So much."

"Especially much."

As if he didn't feel it was enough after saying that, he added another one: "Thunderously much."

Qiao Suisui chuckled, her dark eyes turning into crescents when she smiled, her pupils like transparent obsidian, shining brightly.

Ka'er raised his hand to gently stroke the stray hair by her brow bone, his large hand inserting into her hair from her cheek, and leaned over to kiss her eyes.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was a bit dazed from the man's kisses. Just as she wanted to open her mouth to breathe slightly, she was kissed on the lips the next second.

He was rarely this overbearing, but at this moment, he was forcefully extracting every bit of air from her mouth. It wasn't until she was almost out of breath that Ka'er pulled back slightly. When he opened his eyes again, there was already heavy mist and desire in them.

But he didn't take the next step, instead looking straight at Qiao Suisui and asking in a hoarse voice, "Do you miss me?"

Qiao Suisui panted lightly, her forehead against his, and said deliberately, "No."

The man was a bit anxious and pulled her into his arms a few more times, this time pressing tightly against her. He asked again, "Do you miss me? If you miss me too, you have to tell me."

Qiao Suisui held back her laughter, but the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed, and the smile overflowed from her eyes, yet her mouth still said, "No, I don't."

Ka'er gritted his teeth in anger.

In an instant, the world spun.

Qiao Suisui was carried by the man onto the spacious large sofa, lying on it, her black hair spread out in some disarray.

Ka'er pressed her under him, his words fierce, but his eyes full of grievance. "What would happen if you just said you missed me!"

Qiao Suisui couldn't help but laugh anymore. At this moment, her delicate little hands cupped the man's face, and she gently bumped his nose tip with her own.

"I miss you. Thunderously, invincibly, explosively miss you."

The next second, a strong male scent swept over her.

Ka'er kissed her neck and collarbone, leaving ambiguous marks, constantly marking her.

He knelt on the sofa, his sturdy thighs pulling the fabric of his suit pants tight, the man's knees pressing between her legs.

The temperature in the reception hall rose suddenly.

In the dazed ups and downs, Qiao Suisui was pestered by the man to say she missed him over and over again—ten times wasn't enough, a hundred times wasn't enough, a thousand times wasn't enough.

It wasn't until later, when her voice became a bit hoarse, that Ka'er kissed her back with heartache, and then held her again, sinking into desire.

He wanted to be doomed eternally, just like this, doomed eternally, forever doomed eternally.

I don't know if this chapter can pass the review, and I don't know if the next chapter can pass the review either. The next chapter is a Mid-Autumn Festival special, dark fairy tale style, with a bit of 'meat', unrelated to the main text. Everyone decide for yourselves whether to order it or not. My only request to you is not to scold the chef while eating. If you don't like it, just exit or don't spend the money. Don't scold me while eating. I am really fragile and will stop writing.
