Chapter 188 The Safety Chapter Has Arrived
As evening fell, the familiar sound of engines grew louder as three Jiefang trucks, kicking up dust from their journey, finally came to a stop in the open space outside the family compound.
Inside the house, Li Xianglian was eating a large white steamed bun with pickled vegetables when she heard the noise and jumped in fright.
It's Brother Shan!
He is back!
She almost instinctively jumped up from the stool, nearly putting her shoes on backwards, and ran out of the yard.
"Clang!"
The door of the lead vehicle, which had been shaken and deformed, was kicked open, and a tall, muscular figure jumped out of the driver's seat.
Qin Rushan was wearing that black work uniform, which he hadn't changed in two days. It was covered in dust and salt stains from sweat, making him look travel-worn.
But when those eyes saw the slender figure at the courtyard gate, the murderous aura on his face instantly melted into a gentle spring breeze.
He's back! He's back safely!
The neighbors who were watching the commotion, as well as the workers who had just finished their shifts, all stopped in their tracks.
Yang Dong and Monkey also jumped off the car one after another, wisely refraining from disturbing them, and just chuckled as they watched the scene from afar.
Qin Rushan instructed Yang Dong and the others to unload the goods into the warehouse first.
Then he strode over and reached Li Xianglian in just a few steps.
The strong smell of tobacco, sweat, and engine oil emanating from him wasn't pleasant, but it settled the nerves of Li Xianglian, who had been anxiously waiting for two days.
"I'm back," Qin Rushan said, his voice a little hoarse from smoking.
"Brother Shan." Li Xianglian looked up, her eyes instantly reddening.
She had never felt that two days could be so long.
In the past two days, she ate and slept alone, faced the tantrums of Niu Guihua all by herself, and even earned her first money in life on her own.
Qin Rushan raised his hand, wanting to touch her face, but seeing the dirt on his hand, he stopped abruptly in mid-air. In the end, he simply used the back of his hand to gently rub her cheek.
"Are you doing alright at home?" His first question was about her, not how much money he was making.
Li Xianglian shook her head vigorously, forcing back her tears, her voice slightly nasal: "It's alright. Everything's fine at home."
"That's good."
Qin Rushan grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
He took her hand, his burning palm enveloping her slightly cool fingers, and strode into the yard. "Come on, let's go home!"
As soon as the courtyard gate was closed, Qin Rushan strode to the well and drew up a bucket of cold water.
The water, warmed by the sun all day, was poured over his head without any regard for temperature.
He wiped the mud off his face, casually ripped off his sweat-smelling work shirt, revealing his bronze back.
His muscular physique, covered with several shallow scars, looked both wild and frightening.
Li Xianglian followed in with a dry towel, but before she could hand it over, she saw the man quickly unbuckle his belt.
With a "rip," he pulled the dusty pants down to his ankles, then kicked them into the corner.
He was only wearing a pair of big shorts.
Although they were husband and wife, in broad daylight, Li Xianglian's face instantly flushed red, and she didn't dare to look away. She hurriedly stuffed the towel into his arms and turned to go to the cabinet: "I...I'll go get you a change of clothes."
"Take what?"
Qin Rushan stretched out his long arm, bringing with him a gust of wind carrying moisture, and grabbed Li Xianglian's wrist.
With a little effort, Li Xianglian spun around and crashed solidly into the man's arms.
The man's distinctive, intense scent instantly enveloped her completely.
"Why are you in such a hurry to run? Afraid I'll eat you?"
Qin Rushan looked down at the blushing little face in his arms, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, his eyes darkening. "Let me have a taste first. I've been missing you terribly these past two days on the road."
No sooner had he finished speaking than his stubble-covered chin eagerly pressed against his.
The stubble from not shaving for two days felt prickly and itchy as it brushed against my delicate neck and cheeks, sending a tingling electric current through me.
Li Xianglian trembled and instinctively tried to shrink back, but when her palm touched the man's burning chest, she instantly melted into a pool of water.
She didn't push her away.
Those hands, like vines, tremblingly climbed up Qin Rushan's neck, their fingertips digging into his short, still damp hair.
This subtle response was like water dripping into a hot oil pan; Qin Rushan's anger flared up instantly.
He suddenly tightened his arms around her, as if trying to meld her into his very bones, and lowered his head to fiercely capture those two red lips he had longed for day and night.
The kiss was urgent and fierce, conquering her mouth.
Li Xianglian was so dizzy from the kisses that she could only tilt her head back and endure the onslaught.
She was deprived of her breath, the air in her chest grew thinner and thinner, and her body became so limp that she could only hang on him.
After an unknown amount of time, just when Li Xianglian felt she was about to suffocate, Qin Rushan finally released his mouth, still not quite satisfied.
Their heavy breathing mingled in the quiet room.
"call……"
Qin Rushan looked at her large, misty eyes, a roguish smile playing on his lips, and rubbed his thumb heavily against her swollen lips.
"How are you, honey?" His voice was incredibly hoarse. "You missed me while I was gone for the past couple of days?"
In the past, Li Xianglian would have been so ashamed that she would have covered her face and disappeared into the ground. She would never have dared to reply with such shameless words.
But today, after a whole day of anxiety and worry, I was also upset by my wife's family.
Nestled in this firm, warm embrace, listening to the powerful heartbeat, she felt a sense of security she had never known before.
She buried her face in the man's neck and murmured a soft "hmm."
How could Qin Rushan resist such teasing? His lower body was already irresistibly aroused.
He let out a low, hoarse groan, tightened his arms around her, and scooped her up in his arms, intending to carry her to the bed.
"Brother Shan..."
Li Xianglian pressed her palm against his chest, her face burning hot, "You...you haven't eaten yet..."
Qin Rushan paused, looked down at the flushed little face in his arms, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.
He was indeed hungry.
We didn't stop along the way to make the journey, and I bought some dry food to eat in the car. Now my stomach is really empty.
"OK."
Qin Rushan gritted his teeth, put her down, but didn't let go, instead carrying her directly to the square table.
Qin Rushan's gaze fell on the half-eaten white steamed bun and a dish of pickled vegetables on the table, and his face instantly darkened.
"I'm not home, and this is what you eat?"
