Top Soldier Pursued by a Beauty

Zhao Dong's large hand was like a thief, making Jiang Nianyu feel as if all her defenses had been breached. An indescribable sensation coursed through her at his touch.

She trembled all over, her gaze growing hazy and lost. Her breathing became scorching hot.

Zhao Dong, too, felt a stirring of restlessness in his heart. Jiang Nianyu's legs were slender, beautiful, and long. Combined with the stockings, the exquisite sensation was arguably one of the best experiences in the world. The silky fabric felt amazing, still warm with her body heat.

Zhao Dong turned to look at her and flashed a mischievous smile. "Still dare to be so arrogant?"

Jiang Nianyu's face flushed crimson. The blush from the alcohol made her appear all the more enchanting and captivating. Her body shivered, but she gritted her teeth, her voice trembling with heat as she replied, "So what if I am... You're... you're not man enough."

"'Not man enough?' You can call me incapable, but don't you dare say I'm not man enough!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, his hand flicked upward.

Jiang Nianyu let out a soft cry. Every muscle in her body tensed, and her legs involuntarily clamped together. She bit her lip hard, shaking uncontrollably as she panted, "Zhao Dong... you... I was wrong... Stop..."

A restless heat flickered in the depths of Zhao Dong's eyes, and a devilishly charming smile played on his lips. "Isn't it a bit too late to say that now?"

As he spoke, his hand ventured to a new place. Jiang Nianyu couldn't help but draw up her legs, curling into herself. She was going to be driven mad by this sensation!

Zhao Dong breached her defenses. His heart stirred as he glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Do you admit you were wrong?"

"I... I admit it..."

"Good. I'll let you off this time, but next time won't be so simple."

Zhao Dong bit the tip of his tongue to calm himself and withdrew his hand.

Jiang Nianyu lowered the car window. Her beautiful hair was disheveled, but it only added to her allure. Her delicate face was perfect, and her red lips held a captivating temptation. She shot Zhao Dong an annoyed glare before turning to face the window, cracking it open to let the cool night air calm her nerves.

Only after she had calmed down did a wave of unease wash over her. My God, what did I just do with Zhao Dong? He... he touched me there, too?

At that moment, Jiang Nianyu wished a hole would open up and swallow her.

That guy... he's the rogue of all rogues! I said he could touch my legs, but... there, too?

She glared at Zhao Dong's profile, a dazed look on her face. Biting her lip, she relented. Oh, forget it! Being touched by this guy... isn't completely unacceptable.

Neither of them spoke for the rest of the ride, a silent understanding between them. However, it was clear that the way Jiang Nianyu looked at Zhao Dong had become somewhat unnatural.

「Half an hour later.」

They arrived at the tidal flat Jiang Nianyu had mentioned. The place was indeed in the suburbs and very desolate. The towering skyscrapers had given way to low, tile-roofed houses. The broad asphalt roads were gone, replaced by desolate country lanes and bumpy, rutted paths beside the train tracks.

This was the East Sea coast. The air was chilly and damp. The distance was pitch-black, and the unsettling calls of unknown birds echoed through the night. The surroundings were nothing but undeveloped wasteland, patches of woods, and abandoned houses, creating a truly gloomy atmosphere.

Soon, the car slowly reached the seaside, which appeared to be a deserted little fishing village with just a few households. In the pitch-black night, not a single light was on. Only the howl of the sea breeze could be heard.

Zhao Dong felt a sense of unease creep over him. He turned to look at Jiang Nianyu. "Are you sure this is the place?"

"Yes, it's here," Jiang Nianyu said. "My family mentioned there's an abandoned rural elementary school near the tidal flats. The Purple Profound Grass is supposed to be right behind it."

Zhao Dong felt a growing sense of foreboding. "An abandoned school in the middle of the night... don't you think this is a little creepy?"

Jiang Nianyu bit her lip. "I think so too. So... should we leave and come back another day?"

Zhao Dong thought for a moment before replying, "No. Since we're already here, let's check it out. Besides, a treasure like this might be gone if we're even a little late."

Jiang Nianyu nodded. "That's true... Look, that's the school!"

She pointed with a slender finger, and Zhao Dong followed her gaze. Sure enough, there was a building that looked like a rural elementary school. The road ahead was too narrow and muddy to drive on, so Zhao Dong parked the car on the side.

They got out of the car together. Jiang Nianyu shuddered from the cold sea breeze.

Zhao Dong thoughtfully draped his coat over her. She gave him a grateful look.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Neither of them spoke again as they walked toward the school.

After just a few steps, Zhao Dong's ears twitched. His heart sank. He abruptly pulled Jiang Nianyu down into a patch of nearby reeds.

Startled, Jiang Nianyu began, "Zhao—"

Before she could finish, Zhao Dong covered her mouth, signaling her to be quiet.

Jiang Nianyu's expression changed. Seeing how grave Zhao Dong looked, she quickly held her breath and went still.

A moment later, something stirred nearby.
