Quick Wear: Love still depends on two love brains

Quan Jiuxi's long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, and a hint of a smile appeared.

She was wearing a dress with dark patterns embroidered with silver thread on the collar, which emitted a fine luster as she moved.

The sunlight filtered through the aircraft's window and fell on the top of her head, dyeing her fair, slender neck a warm golden color, forming a wonderful contrast with the clear innocence in her eyes.

"General Pei, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

She tilted her head, and her long hair fell along her shoulders, with natural curls at the ends, like flowing ink-black satin.

Pei Jin's gaze fell on her straight nose. The line was clean and neat, but there was a perfect roundness at the tip of her nose, which neutralized the coldness between her brows.

He was wearing a dark grey suit, which made his already deep features look even more three-dimensional.

The jawline is stretched into a sharp fold line, but the thin lips are slightly raised, bringing out a rare softness.

"Let's go. I'll take you home." His voice was lower than usual, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

As the two walked side by side towards the aircraft, their footsteps made a neat knocking sound on the metal floor.

Quan Jiuxi's steps were brisk, and the hem of her skirt swayed slightly with her movements, revealing a section of her calves wrapped in white stockings;

Pei Jin walked with a standard military pace, his shoulders and back straight as a pine tree, his left hand hanging naturally at his side, his fingertips occasionally brushing against Quan Jiuxi's cuffs inadvertently.

The setting sun stretched their shadows very long, overlapping into a blurred mass on the ground, as if they were born to snuggle together.

The light inside the aircraft was dim, and the cool silver-gray interior reflected the blue light of the console.

Quan Jiuxi curled up in the passenger seat, adjusted the seat to a semi-reclining position, and crossed his legs on the storage table in front.

She revealed her delicate collarbone, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the cold metal buckle.

"Admiral Pei is also very knowledgeable about ancient Earth?" She turned her face to the side, and her hair brushed across her neck, leaving a slight itch.

Pei Jin was concentrating on controlling the aircraft. When he heard this, his fingers on the steering wheel paused.

His hands had distinct joints, and his fingertips had thin calluses from years of holding guns, leaving a faint warmth on the joystick.

"Call me Pei Jin."

He looked straight ahead, but a thin layer of red appeared on his ears.

Quan Jiuxi was amused by his appearance and his shoulders shook slightly.

"Pei Jin."

She deliberately dragged out her tone, with the ending sound having a hint of coquettishness.

The aircraft bumped slightly as it passed through the clouds. Pei Jin subconsciously stretched out his hand to protect Quan Jiuxi. When his palm was almost touching her waist, he suddenly stopped and instead grasped the armrest next to him.

His knuckles turned white from exertion, and he cleared his throat.

"My grandfather used to love studying the civilization of ancient Earth. He said that the brilliant and dazzling civilization there was like a flame compared to the cold interstellar space."

Quan Jiuxi looked at his tense profile. His eyelashes were very long, casting a small shadow under his eyelids. His nose was as high as a sculpture, and even his breathing had the rhythmic feel of a soldier.

She nodded. "That's right."

He turned his head and his gaze met Quan Jiuxi's smiling eyes, which seemed to be filled with crushed starlight, so bright that it made his heart skip a beat.

"Do you remember the three questions you promised me?" He looked away suddenly, his voice tense.

Quan Jiuxi gathered the hair around her ears and raised a sly smile:

"Oh, I remember now, but you didn't use the opportunity I gave you back then. You didn't ask."

Pei Jin tightened his grip on the joystick, his fingertips leaving faint marks on the cold metal.

He turned his face to the side, the light casting bright and dark shadows on his well-defined face, his eyes were so deep that it seemed to hide a starry sky: "Ajiu, I regret it."

This long-lost name made Quan Jiuxi's heart tremble slightly. She lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows under her eyes.

A low laugh escaped the corners of his lips, like ripples on the surface of a lake caused by a spring breeze: "Okay, then ask."

She raised her eyes to look at the man's profile, and a layer of gentle warmth spread in her eyes, like melted honey.

Pei Jin's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his eyes fell on her plump lips, which were coated with light lip gloss and shone with a moist luster in the dim light.

"Are you the real Quan Jiuxi?" His voice was low and serious.

Quan Jiuxi's eyes didn't evade at all. She met his gaze, her eyes drooping slightly, "No."

Pei Jin seemed to have expected this. He nodded slowly, his eyes sweeping over the mole at the corner of her eye - that was the mole that the Quan Jiuxi in the information did not have.

He recalled the first time he saw her. Her nimble movements and calm eyes were completely different from the spoiled and domineering young lady described in the information.

A person can change his abilities and personality, but he cannot change the habits that are deeply ingrained in his bones, nor can he hide the vicissitudes in his eyes that do not belong to this age.

"Second question, will you leave after completing your mission?"

His fingers tapped the joystick unconsciously, making a regular, light sound.

Quan Jiuxi raised his eyebrows, and the upward curve at the end of his eyes was a bit playful.

She licked her lower lip with the tip of her tongue, smudged a little lip gloss, "Mission?"

Pei Jin's knuckles turned white, and even the veins on his arms were faintly visible. "I have investigated you,"

He took a deep breath, his voice filled with apology, "You've been targeting the Tang family recently, right?" He paused and added, "The Tang family of Tang Ye."

Quan Jiuxi looked at his tense jawline and suddenly reached out to touch his cheek.

Her fingertips were slightly cool, gently stroking his tense muscles: "Are you investigating me?"

"Ajiu, I'm sorry." Pei Jin's eyes fell on her slender wrist, where she wore an ancient silver bracelet, a style he had never seen in the interstellar space.

"I'm sorry I thought you were dangerous."

"Have you dealt with the medicine from last time?" Quan Jiuxi withdrew his hand and his fingertips ran across his cuffs, where the warmth of his skin still remained.

"I told the President yesterday that Tang Ye will soon be court-martialed."

Pei Jin's voice returned to calm, but he couldn't hide the determination in his eyes.

Quan Jiuxi nodded slightly, the light dancing on her thick eyelashes, casting tiny shadows. "I won't leave."

Her voice was very soft, but it was like a stone thrown into Pei Jin's heart, creating ripples.

"General Pei, you only have one question." She deliberately prolonged her tone, with a cunning light in the smile lines at the corners of her eyes.

The aircraft slowly lowered its altitude, and the outline of Quan Jiuxi's house became clearer and clearer in the field of vision.

A round, silver-white robot stood at the door, waving its antenna and looking around.

"I haven't thought about the third question yet." Pei Jin's gaze fell on the small building.

"Then wait until you've made up your mind."

Quan Jiuxi unbuckled his seat belt, and when he stood up, his long hair brushed across Pei Jin's arm, leaving a faint fragrance.

After the aircraft came to a steady stop, Quan Jiuxi pushed open the door and turned around and waved to Pei Jin as soon as his feet touched the ground.

The setting sun fell on her face, giving her fair skin a golden edge, and the dimples at the corners of her lips seemed to be filled with sunlight, so bright that it was dazzling.

Pei Jin looked at her back as she walked in. Her long black hair was spread out behind her, swaying gently with her steps, and the ends of her hair swept across her waist.

Her steps were brisk, yet revealed an indescribable loneliness, like a flower blooming alone in the interstellar wasteland.

"Ajiu." He almost blurted out the words, with an urgency in his voice that he himself didn't even notice.

Quan Jiuxi turned her head, and the sunlight fell right into her eyes, which looked like they were covered with broken diamonds, so bright that it was astonishing.

She tilted her head slightly, a puzzled smile on her lips: "What's wrong?"

Pei Jin pushed open the door and strode down, his military boots making a rapid sound as they stepped on the ground.

He walked quickly to Quan Jiuxi, and his chest heaved slightly because he walked too fast.

"Ajiu, I have thought of one last question." His eyes were fixed on her, her figure clearly reflected in his pupils.

"You ask."

Quan Jiuxi looked up at him, with even more doubt in his eyes.

His hair was a little messy because of his movements, with a few strands hanging in front of his forehead. His jawline, which was usually tense, now had a soft curve, and even his eyes became hot.

Pei Jin took a deep breath, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.

He slowly raised his hand, untied the thin rope around his neck, and a warm jade pendant slipped out from his collar.

It was a crescent-shaped piece of warm jade, emitting a soft luster in the setting sun. It was carved with intricate twined patterns, and it was obvious that it was quite old.

"Can you?" His voice was trembling, and his fingertips were shaking slightly because of nervousness.

"Become my interstellar partner, and I will be forever loyal to you and accompany you until the end of my life."

Quan Jiuxi's eyes lit up and his gaze fell on the jade pendant.

The jade was warm and transparent, with a faint spiritual aura. It was the closest thing to spiritual aura she had seen since she came to the interstellar space.

Pei Jin looked at her reaction and his palms were sweating with nervousness.

He quickly added, "This was left to me by my grandfather. He said I should give it to the person I love if I ever meet her. I never understood it before, but after meeting you, my soul and my heart are telling me that I'm in love with you."

His voice became lower and lower, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, like a flame burning in the dark night.

Quan Jiuxi looked at his serious expression and suddenly smiled.

Her smiling eyes were curved, as if filled with starlight, and the dimples at the corners of her lips were deeply sunken. "Did your grandfather tell you that love starts with a bouquet of flowers?"

Pei Jin was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly.

Flowers are rare medicinal herbs in the interstellar world, and he had never thought about this aspect.

But he reacted quickly, his eyes instantly lit up with ecstasy, and even the tips of his ears turned red: "Ajiu, are you willing to..."

"It depends on your performance." Quan Jiuxi stretched out his hand and gently pinched the thin string of the jade pendant with his fingertips.

Her fingers were slender and fair, with neatly trimmed nails tinged with a faint pink. "I'll keep this jade pendant for you."
