Li Luo moved closer with "evil intentions", close enough to smell the faint smell of gunpowder and leather on him:

"Why, you don't like being praised?"

She reached out and poked his red earlobe. The warmth she felt on her fingertips made her smile even more. "We've been together for so long, why is our Captain Lu still so shy?"

"Lolo." Lu Jingcheng called her as a warning, but his voice had no deterrent effect because of the arc at the corner of his mouth that he couldn't suppress.

He scooped a spoonful of the still steaming porridge into her mouth. His movements seemed rough but he carefully avoided her teeth. "Shut up and eat."

"Hmm...Are you angry because of shame?" Li Luo continued to tease him mumblingly while holding a porridge in his mouth, his eyes curved like two crescent moons when he smiled.

She suddenly reached out and gently wiped the sauce off the corner of his mouth with her thumb. "It's such a shame to dirty such a handsome face."

Her fingertips lingered on his lips for half a second longer, and she felt his breathing visibly hitch.

Lu Jingcheng grabbed her wrist, using light force but not allowing her to break free.

He rubbed her pulse with his bony fingers and sighed helplessly, but his eyes were full of indulgence:

“…Stop it.”

His voice was low and only she could hear it in the noisy factory.

"Oh, the sweetness here is too sweet!" Shi Xinxin suddenly whistled in the distance, and the sound was so loud that several team members around turned their heads to look over.

Chu Yuanqing was holding her shoulders and leading her in the opposite direction, but she was still trying hard to turn her head to look over here.

Lu Jingcheng immediately let go of his hand, lowered his head and drank his porridge in a serious manner, but his red ears completely betrayed him.

Li Luo shook her head proudly, sipped her porridge in small sips, and occasionally stole a glance at him from under her eyelashes.

The warm yellow emergency light leaked through the broken roof, casting tiny spots of light on his chiseled profile, and even his eyelashes were dyed light gold.

"Let's see what the charges are." Lu Jingcheng suddenly spoke, with an unconcealable smile in his voice.

Without even raising his head, he accurately picked up the carrot cubes that Li Luo disliked the most from her bowl.

Li Luo looked at him a few more times with a righteous look, and deliberately raised his voice by an octave:

"Put it on my account. My boyfriend is so handsome, so it's not a loss anyway."

As she spoke, Potato, who was licking his paw at her feet, suddenly pricked up his ears and raised his creamy yellow tail high.

Lu Jingcheng finally couldn't help laughing and reached out to rub the top of her head.

This movement caused the cuffs of his combat uniform to slide down slightly, revealing his well-defined wrists.

He suddenly chuckled: "...You."

There was a hint of helplessness and doting in his deep voice. His bony fingers accidentally brushed against her fingertips when he retracted them, leaving a trace of warmth.

Just then, Potato suddenly jumped between the two of them, his pink nose twitching constantly, and his beard was still covered with tuna crumbs he had just eaten.

Lu Jingcheng gently scratched his chin with his index finger, and the little guy immediately started snoring loudly, but he still stared at Li Luo's lunch box without giving up.

"Greedy guy." Li Luo smiled and broke off a small piece of meat and threw it to him, then turned around and found Lu Jingcheng looking at him.

The man quickly looked away, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and the high collar of his tactical uniform could not hide his red neck.

"By the way," he pretended to adjust his tactical belt, his voice deliberately calm, "Did you have a good rest last night?"

"I took Xinxin back to the space last night and slept soundly." Li Luo scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and in the steam, she winked at him. In the lunch box converted from a tin can, the thick rice porridge mixed with sporadic minced meat shone with an attractive oily sheen in the morning light.

She saw that there was only porridge in Lu Jingcheng's lunch box, so she took half of the meat slices in her bowl and rubbed her fingertips on the back of his hand. "Oh, by the way, I've advanced!"

Lu Jingcheng was originally drinking porridge with his head down, but he suddenly looked up when he heard the words. His eyes lit up instantly and he couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Really?" His voice was filled with undisguised joy, and he stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, "My Luo Luo is really the best!"
