Xiao Qi was adopted by Xu Xinghe in his junior year.

In the past two years, it accompanied him to finish the thesis, celebrated the New Year, witnessed his graduation, entry, marriage, and spent countless long nights of loneliness together.

As a beautiful and clingy Brador cat, Xiao Qi easily captured the owner's heart and became an important "family member" in the mouth of Xu Xinghe.

So when Ling Changfeng said that the cat would miss him, Xu Xinghe was really soft-hearted and reluctant.

He looked down at Xiao Qi, who was shaking his big furry tail and rubbing against his feet, as if ignorant of the fact that his master was about to travel far, and raised his head and made a "meow" obediently. .

Xu Xinghe squatted down, and while helping Xiaoqi smooth hair, he seriously thought about Ling Changfeng's proposal: "Okay, then I will try to have a video with Xiaoqi every night before going to bed. But what should I do? Set it up in the room. Camera, and then install a projection screen?"

Then he raised his hand and glanced at the time, and said tangled: "But it's too late now, I have to go out again tomorrow morning..."

Ling Changfeng interrupted him lightly: "No, you dial the video call to me."

Xu Xinghe was stunned for a moment, then raised his head: "Ah?"

Marshal Ling explained calmly: "Xiaoqi and aaron run around the house every day, it's useless to install a camera in your room. Why don't I take it to video with you when I feed the cat every night."

Xu Xinghe blinked: "Will this bother you too much?"

Ling Changfeng said decisively, "No trouble."

"Okay... Then thank you." Xu Xinghe nodded, since the parties themselves said nothing, then he had no reason to refuse.

"But haven't you been very busy recently?" Xu Xinghe suddenly thought of another question, "What if you are still working in the military when I call at night?"

Ling Changfeng frowned slightly, this was indeed a problem: "If I'm doing important work, I won't pick it up."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He knew that Ling Changfeng said this because he had to comply with the relevant confidentiality regulations, and he could not answer incoming calls during some confidential conversations.

But he thought about it for a while, since Ling Changfeng was already so busy, it didn't seem very kind to ask him to take care of the cat himself, so he should ask He Han.

Xu Xinghe: "Either forget it..."

Ling Changfeng: "Why don't I call you instead..."

The two voices sounded at the same time.

Xu Xinghe: "?"

Ling Changfeng paused and added the second half of the sentence as usual: "When I'm free at night."

Xu Xinghe was silent for a moment, then tentatively said, "Otherwise, should we leave this matter to He Han? Just concentrate on your work."

Ling Changfeng pursed his lips and said expressionlessly: "No, once He Han gets close to Xiao Qi, he will be scratched by aaron."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He asked curiously, "Is aaron really bad tempered? Why do I think it's okay."

Everyone said that aaron has a bad temper, but he has never seen aaron with bright claws. He just thinks that aaron is very polite to himself and is a polite and good cat.

Even, several times he saw Xiaoqi put his head directly into the other party's cat bowl to eat its cat food in front of aaron, but he did not see aaron's instinctive response to food protection.

This made him feel that Aaron had a good temper for a while.

"That's for you." Ling Changfeng said slowly, "You can talk to Qin Yuan about aaron's usual temperament. He once brought his Alaskan dog to visit—" He stretched out his hand and gestured, "Such a big dog, being scratched by aaron, will never come again."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He looked a little weird and said: "So, aaron is kind of giving me face?"

Ling Changfeng gave a light "um", and said with a double meaning: "After all, love the house and Wu."

After hearing what he said, Xu Xinghe decided not to embarrass He Han: "Then I'll leave it to you to take care of Xiaoqi."

After speaking, I was a little embarrassed, "It's hard work, wait for me to come back and invite you to eat-"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly thought that Ling Changfeng had no interest in eating, so he changed his mouth and said, "Please go to dinner, watch a movie, or do anything else."

After Ling Changfeng heard the words, Yitong slowly swept Xu Xinghe back and forth a few times, and then nodded lightly: "It's not hard."

Then he replied, "Wait until you get back."

When he said this, the end of the voice rose slightly, mixed with a trace of inexplicable expectations, as if the trip had not yet begun, and he was already looking forward to the return of tourists.

Xu Xinghe had one thing on his mind, and continued to pack his luggage.

Ling Changfeng watched from the side, and suddenly asked him: "When you travel, pay attention to safety. Qin Yuan has already called the local security department and asked them to be more vigilant..."

"Uh? No, no!" Xu Xinghe raised his head and waved his hand when he heard the words, "I'm just going out with my colleagues for a few days, it's not a big deal. I used to travel a lot when I was in school, and I know what to do. , some special care is not needed, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, no one will follow you." Seeing that he had misunderstood, Ling Changfeng interrupted him in a low voice, and explained, "It's just to say hello, it won't affect your normal travel, you can play whatever you want. How to play."

"Oh, that's good." Only then did Xu Xinghe feel relieved. I thought to myself, if Ling Changfeng really sent someone to protect him, how could he have fun?

Ling Changfeng looked at his expression and asked, "Do you like going out to play?"

Xu Xinghe kept packing his luggage and replied casually, "I can't say 'very', but I really like to go shopping. Didn't I often go out with my classmates and friends before?"

Ling Changfeng pursed his thin lips: "But sometimes when I ask you out, you say it's a rare vacation and you want to lie at home."

Xu Xinghe: "..." Well, this is what he often said.

"Well, it doesn't seem to be contradictory that I love to play and die?" Xu Xinghe thought for a while, "I want to go home and lie down after playing too much, and I want to go out to play after lying down for a long time. I haven't been out for a long time. It's a floating city, so I want to go out for a walk. It is said that the snow scene in Nanga is very beautiful, and I will take a few pictures for you to see."

When he mentioned things he was interested in, his eyes were always bright.

Ling Changfeng was caught by such eyes, and his mood seemed to become brighter.

So I thought: "Forget it, it's only four and a half days, not to mention the nightly video calls, it's no big deal."

Just thinking about it, he saw Xu Xinghe put the casual toiletries in a small bag, put them in the suitcase, and then muttered: "I don't know if the hotel is a single room, if it is a double room, what do you wash every night? It's not very convenient."

Ling Changfeng: "..."

"Double room?" Marshal Ling repeated these three words, his voice subconsciously lowered, "They will arrange a double room for you?"

Xu Xinghe was still concentrating on packing his luggage, completely unaware of the key, and replied without looking up, "Not necessarily, I haven't asked yet."

After Ling Changfeng listened, he stood there and looked at him without saying a word.

After staring at him for such a long time, Xu Xinghe finally raised his head with feeling: "What's wrong?"

Marshal Ling replied with a blank expression: "If you have a double room, the video is not very convenient."

Xu Xinghe blinked: "Also...then I'll tell them that they want a single room."

After speaking, he started packing again, as if such a small problem was not worth mentioning at all.

Although he got his promise, Marshal Ling didn't get any happier because of it.

Still staring at Xu Xinghe thoughtfully.

Xu Xinghe also felt the low air pressure around him, and raised his head again: "What happened?"

Ling Changfeng looked away: "Nothing."

It's really nothing, although his little spouse is not sad at all because of the separation for the next five days, although he thinks it doesn't matter if he sleeps in a double room with others, although he still tries to hand over the work of video calling every night to He Han, but these alone Picking up one is a trivial matter.

It's just that these little things piled up together, still caused Marshal Ling to be slightly unhappy.

Xu Xinghe always felt that Ling Changfeng was weird tonight.

He can sense the other party's emotions to a certain extent, but he doesn't know where this emotion comes from.

He thought about it for a while, and asked cautiously: "Have you been under a lot of work pressure recently?"

Ling Changfeng: "..."

Just as he was about to deny it, he suddenly thought of something. He changed the subject and asked indifferently, "When you are under a lot of pressure at work, how do you usually deal with it?"

Hearing what he said, Xu Xinghe strengthened his guess even more, so he stopped packing his things, stood up and picked up Xiao Qi and sat on the sofa, very kindly began to share his decompression experience: "When I am stressed, Usually go alone to eat something delicious, or hide at home, play with the cat, read books and watch movies... Why are you standing there? Come and sit."

After that, he moved to the edge of the sofa to make room.

Ling Changfeng's eccentric pupil swept over the empty seat lightly, his eyes flashed, and he sat down with kindness.

After sitting down, he sighed softly, not too loudly, just enough for Xu Xinghe to hear.

On the treacherous and ever-changing battlefield, calmly analyzing the battle situation and then adopting the appropriate and best combat plan is the basic quality that a commander must possess.

Therefore, Ling Changfeng has gradually realized that under his little spouse's seemingly hard and prickly hedgehog shell, the inside is actually a mess of softness.

Kind, honest, and compassionate.

Should be soft grinding, not strong attack.

Ling Changfeng sat down beside him like a pine tree and asked Xu Xinghe, "Aren't you bored when you decompress by yourself?"

Xu Xinghe shook his head: "It's not boring. When I'm happy, I like people to be lively, and when I'm unhappy, I just want to be alone, and it's best that no one comes to me... By the way, when I'm stressed, it's possible I will go back to the playground of Capital University to run and run, lap after lap, until I get tired. You can also try this, fitness decompression method, let yourself sweat a little, and you will relax a lot after working out.”

Ling Changfeng watched Xu Xinghe earnestly sharing his experience there and trying to enlighten himself. He felt a little cute, but also wanted to laugh.

Although his young spouse came from a rough background, he really grew up in the greenhouse of Capital Star.

So he didn't know that when a person is really surrounded by huge pressure, he has no time to do fitness running.

However, Marshal Ling still accepted his proposal seriously: "Okay."

Then take the opportunity to bring up the old thing again: "Didn't you say before that you want to get up early to exercise with me?"

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He was just about to say that it was cold, and we'll talk about it in the spring of next year.

But when he turned his head and saw Ling Changfeng's long eyelashes hanging slightly, there seemed to be a sigh that seemed to sound in his ears.

He suddenly felt that Ling Changfeng's work pressure was so great, and it was not easy to help himself take care of the cat.

So as soon as the words came out, it became: "Wait for me to come back, we will exercise together after I come back."

Ling Changfeng raised his eyes: "Really?"

Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth: "Really!"

Marshal Ling gave a soft "um".

I feel better again.

While the two were talking, Xiao Qi had already jumped out of the owner's arms, and for the nth time jumped into the suitcase.

Xu Xinghe also remembered that he had not finished packing his suitcase, so he got up and continued.

He looked at Xiao Qi helplessly and lovingly, and took it out without hesitation: "Little Qi, I'll pack the box first, and I'll play with you when I'm done."

When he said this, his voice was soft and gentle, and the movement of hugging Xiao Qi was also very gentle.

Ling Changfeng stood there, looking at Xu Xinghe's smiling face, and suddenly asked, "Why do you like Xiao Qi so much?"

He originally wanted to ask why you were so gentle to Xiao Qi, but he thought it was a bit strange to ask.

I didn't want to change the way of asking, and it's very strange to ask.

"Huh?" Xu Xinghe, who was playing with the cat, was slightly startled, raised his head and looked at Ling Changfeng for unknown reasons, "Don't you like aaron?"

Ling Changfeng: "...I like it too."

Xu Xinghe tilted his head and said, "Of course I like my cat, not to mention Xiaoqi has been with me for a long time."

"Well." Ling Changfeng pondered for a while, "So, you like to accompany you a little longer... cats, right?"

Xu Xinghe was puzzled by his question, so he blinked dryly: "You can say the same."

Ling Changfeng nodded: "I see."

Xu Xinghe: "?"

what do you know? ?

"When you come back, we can start discussing the two-week vacation." Ling Changfeng reminded casually.

Xu Xinghe was stunned for a while. Thinking of the two-week "honeymoon", his heart moved inexplicably. He was busy and lowered his head to continue packing, and then whispered, "Well."

That night, the two chatted intermittently like this, chatting until after twelve o'clock before saying goodnight to each other.

Xu Xinghe also slept late because of this, but this did not affect him going out in good spirits early the next morning.

Before going out, Ling Changfeng instructed him: "Be careful on the road, pay attention to safety, and contact me in time if you encounter an accident."

"Got it, you said this several times last night." Xu Xinghe pushed the huge suitcase and waved at him with a smile, "I'm leaving, bye."

Ling Changfeng's gaze swept across the small dimple on his left cheek, and his gaze stopped slightly.

He knew that the travel time was fixed, but he still said, "Come back early, there are cats waiting for you at home."

Xu Xinghe: "Well, I will make a video call with you."

After a pause, he changed his mind and said, "I will take your video."

A faint smile appeared in Yitong's eyes, Ling Changfeng said calmly while sending him out: "It doesn't matter, you can make a video with me whenever you want. As long as I can answer it, I will definitely answer it."
