Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 66 The Long Cold Shower
The rest of the journey was silent until they arrived at the guesthouse. Qi Yan carried Fang Shiming on his back and walked ahead, while Ji Sisi and Guo Xiaolan went to check in the rooms.

Five people booked three rooms in total.

Ji Sisi pushed open the door to her room, and a musty smell hit her. She frowned.

"How long has this place been uninhabited?"

The room was only about ten square meters. The light bulb that had just been turned on was flickering due to a bad connection, which was a little scary for some reason. It wasn't until it was fully lit that the room could be seen clearly.

There's a 1.5-meter bed, a washstand, a small table, and a tiny toilet at the back; the overall style is very simple.

Wait, 1.5 meters.

Ji Sisi stared so intently she almost punched a hole in the bed. Could two people even fit in such a small bed?

Given Qi Yan's height, if he lay down, his feet would probably stick out.

Qi Yan returned from another room, and the moment he entered, the already small room seemed even smaller.

The sound of rushing water in the room suddenly stopped. Qi Yan froze, instinctively wanting to leave, but his body reacted a beat slower than his mind.

Ji Sisi walked out from inside.

A towel was wrapped around her head, water droplets still clung to her slender neck and shoulders, and her thin pajamas, soaked with water, clung tightly to her body, revealing her curves. She had just showered, and her body was still warm with sweat; her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were moist.

Qi Yan felt a burning sensation on his face, his breathing became rapid, and he felt a stuffy feeling.

"You're back. Go wash up quickly, you must be tired after a long day."

Ji Sisi was feeling down and didn't notice anything amiss with the man.

She subconsciously put herself in a 21st-century hotel and forgot that the guesthouse didn't have a hairdryer and that she had washed her hair.

Ji Sisi estimated that it would take at least one or two hours for the original owner's hair to dry completely.

As Qi Yan passed by Ji Sisi, he smelled a faint fragrance.

Upon entering the bathroom, Qi Yan had just turned on the hot water when he suddenly opened his eyes and quickly turned it off.

Qi Yan wiped his face, puzzled. "Women use such hot water to take a bath?"
Recalling the scene from earlier, Qi Yan felt his body heat up quickly, so he simply took a cold shower.

Nearly twenty minutes passed, and Ji Sisi noticed that the sound of water had not stopped.

"Aren't men supposed to shower quickly?" Ji Sisi asked, puzzled. She walked to the door and knocked. "Ayan, aren't you done yet?"

Just as Qi Yan was about to turn off the water, Ji Sisi's single sentence, "Ah Yan," sent him back to square one.

He glanced down, sighed helplessly, and cursed himself inwardly for being so useless.

"It'll be quick. If you're sleepy, go to sleep first. You don't need to wait for me."

Ji Sisi: "Okay."

How could nothing be wrong? She was even planning to whisper sweet nothings to her husband and discuss borrowing machinery from the agricultural machinery bureau.

As the days passed, it became too late to plant sesame.

As Ji Sisi dried her hair, she pondered the subsequent issues of grain planting.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Sisi lay on the bed, half asleep. She vaguely heard someone moving around and suddenly opened her eyes.

Upon seeing that it was Qi Yan, she closed her eyes in relief, and then felt her head being lifted up, as if someone was drying her hair.

Qi Yan came out of the bathroom and saw Ji Sisi lying on the bed. Her beautiful black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Under the dim light, the scene looked like an oil painting.

Ji Sisi rested her head on the man's lap and muttered softly, "Why did you take so long to shower? Are you embarrassed to sleep in the same bed with me?"

Qi Yan: "..."

"No, it's been too long since I washed, I was afraid it would smell bad."

"Didn't you shower before you left? Never mind, let's not talk about this. I want to talk to you about the Agricultural Machinery Bureau."

Thinking of the important matter, Ji Sisi perked up and sat up. She explained to Qi Yan in detail how she found a job, how she was being targeted by Zhang Qiang, and how she could help the Sixth Team after joining them.

After listening, Qi Yan's expression softened, and he patted the top of her fluffy hair.

“When I first came to the institute, I met a friend who also worked at the Agricultural Machinery Bureau. I’ll send him a telegram when I get back to the institute.”

Ji Sisi couldn't help but yawn because she was sleepy. "Okay, let's go to sleep first. We'll be at the bureau tomorrow. I still need to hurry up and go to the agricultural machinery bureau and the team."

After saying that, she patted Qi Yan's shoulder, lay down, and lifted another corner of the blanket.

"Come to the bowl."

Qi Yan's ears turned bright red, and she stiffly pulled the light cord, plunging the room into darkness. She stood up straight, not daring to breathe.

Ji Sisi slept soundly through the night, but her Abebe teddy bear had become a little stiff.

When she opened her eyes, what came into view was Qi Yan's white old man's vest, and Ji Sisi's mind went blank.

She's sleepy and confused, not drunk. It's unbelievable that she would say something like, "Come to my bowl."

She closed her eyes in despair, and surprisingly, it felt quite comfortable; those abs weren't as hard as she'd imagined...

"Stop touching."

Suddenly, Qi Yan's voice came from above, his tone as if he was trying his best to restrain himself.

Ji Sisi withdrew her hand and gave an awkward smile, "You're awake..."

Qi Yan hummed in agreement, threw off the covers, got out of bed, and headed straight for the bathroom, his movements swift and efficient.

Seeing him go to the toilet without looking back, Ji Sisi assumed that Qi Yan had been woken up by needing to urinate and did not notice the small tent that had sprung up between the man's legs.
-
It was already noon when I got back to the office.

The Agricultural Machinery Bureau is in the county, so there's no time to go there in time. I can only wait a couple of days and go when the office goes to the market at the beginning of the month.

As soon as Qi Yan returned to the institute, he threw himself into his work, heading straight there after lunch.

Looking at the report on this mission in his hand, Qi Yan felt a mix of emotions.

"Director Qi, the woman you asked us to look after last time has been interrogated by people sent down from above. There were no problems. Should we release her back to your home or make other arrangements?"

Qi Yan put down the report and frowned.

"Have any findings from the investigation?"

"No, everything is normal. It's just that the woman said some things about you and your partner that weren't very nice, but the officer who conducted the examination didn't say anything."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go down and take a look."

Qi Yan put the report in the drawer, closed it, capped the pen, and got up to follow the person downstairs.

As soon as they entered the small room and the door opened, Ji Nian nervously stared at the entrance.

Upon seeing Qi Yan, Ji Nian was overwhelmed with mixed emotions and stammered, unable to speak.

"Comrade Ji, you now have two choices. First, accept our repatriation, and a special comrade will escort you back to Jianghai. Second, be forcibly driven away, and then it will be none of our business where you go, but you will no longer be allowed to approach the research institute."

Ji Nian was shocked, her eyes widening.

"Why? I didn't do anything, why are you treating me like this?"

"Qi Yan, have you forgotten? Your childhood betrothal should have been with me, and we should be the two of us getting married! What do you mean by kicking me out now? Didn't Ji Sisi steal you from me? Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Ji Nian looked aggrieved.

When the topic of being sent back to Jianghai came up, Ji Nian immediately thought of something terrifying and showed extreme resistance.

She could never go back to Jianghai; there was no turning back for her there.
