Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Missing My Wife So Much

In the Confinement Room.

Yan Qianyi lay on the narrow bed in discomfort.

No one had brought her breakfast or lunch.

Now it was dark outside, and still no one had brought her dinner.

She had called out, but no one paid any attention.

Even with her toes, she could guess that it was Instructor Shi, that vicious woman, who was using personal connections to make her life difficult.

So she simply stopped calling out and lay on the bed conserving her energy, gathering her strength.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t escape from this place.

But once she escaped, she wouldn’t be able to return to the Military Academy.

If she couldn’t return to the academy, how could she ever be with her idol and god of a man?

For her idol, no matter how tough it got, she would grit her teeth and persevere.

Drifting in and out of consciousness, Yan Qianyi slipped into a slumber.

She dreamed again of that year when she was thirteen, snatched from the clutches of the Star Thief and protected in the Commander’s embrace.

This time, she reached out her hand and touched the mask on the Commander’s face.

The cold sensation of the mask felt too real to be a dream.

Just as she was about to remove the mask from his face, suddenly a "creak" sound intruded into her dream, startling her awake.

Yan Qianyi’s eyes snapped open to see her hand resting on the cold wall.

Damn it!

She had almost removed the Commander’s mask to see what he looked like.

Even though it was a false dream, at least she could have seen what he looked like in her dreams.

Irritated, she frowned and looked toward the door, to see the male instructor who usually trained them walk in.

"Yan Qianyi, the investigation is clear. You’ve been vindicated, and you can leave the Confinement Room."

"Then... there’s no need to investigate where I went after disappearing from the surveillance blind spot?" Yan Qianyi asked.

Without evidence she had been at the instructor’s office building, she guessed they couldn’t convict her.

But what about those unclear matters, were they just going to let them slide?

"The Lord Commander personally investigated the matter. Instructor Shi has admitted to framing you. She’s been expelled from military service and banished from the Capital Star. There’s no need for you to explain anything."

"Who did you say?" Yan Qianyi thought she had heard wrong, "The Lord Commander?"

"Yes, the Supreme Commander, he came to inspect the training base today."

Yan Qianyi’s face broke into a smile of disbelief.

Her idol, her god of a man, had actually come!

She had just dreamed of him a moment ago!

It seemed like they were truly connected!

"What are you standing around for? Do you want to stay here any longer?"

"Thank you, instructor, I’ll leave right away."

The male instructor smiled, "You don’t need to thank me, I’ve done nothing. You should thank the Lord Commander and your friend Yan Chuhua. It was her brave appeal to the Lord Commander that got you out of the Confinement Room, otherwise, you wouldn’t be leaving today."

Yan Qianyi was a bit surprised.

Chu Hua wasn’t known for her bravery.

Making an appeal to the Supreme Commander, she must have been terrified.

She’d have to properly thank her later.

The instructor added one more thing, "Having a reliable comrade is a wonderful thing. When you’re on the battlefield together in the future, at least you can trust each other with your lives. Treasure that."

Yan Qianyi nodded, she had to admit, bit by bit, Chu Hua had warmed her heart.

"Instructor, may I ask if the Lord Commander is still at the training base?"

"He is."

"When will he be leaving?"

"I’m not sure about that. The Commander is very busy; he might leave early tomorrow. Now go get some rest; you’ll rejoin your squad for training tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Instructor!"

Yan Qianyi walked outside and took a deep breath.

The air of freedom feels so good.

But now, the sensation in her body was not so great, her stomach "gurgled" with hunger.

She bit her lip and pondered for a moment, her gaze shifting toward the military officers’ quarters.

Lord Commander should be resting over there, right?

She longed to see him, and if she could thank him in person, that would be even better.

With that thought, Yan Qianyi found herself unconsciously walking toward the officers’ quarters, lingering at the bottom of the building.

She looked up at the lofty officers’ building with devout eyes, as if beholding a deity.

After today’s incident, her admiration and affection for Lord Commander had only deepened.

She hadn’t expected that he, in his exalted position, would concern himself with the trivial matters of insignificant people.

Among the many windows of the instructors’ quarters, only a few scattered windows emitted light.

She didn’t know which one Lord Commander lived in.

With her current status, she hardly had the right to meet him.

If she could just happen to see him standing by the window, even a distant glance would be enough to inspire beautiful dreams tonight.

Yan Qianyi’s gaze continuously searched the illuminated windows.

Suddenly, she heard a "thud" from behind the instructors’ building.

It seemed like someone had jumped down from a high place.

She immediately became vigilant and circled around to the back.

The lighting was very dim at the back of the instructors’ building.

She saw a figure stand up from the ground.

"Who’s there?!" Yan Qianyi asked.

The person lifted their head, their eyes met, and Yan Qianyi blinked in astonishment.

How could it be Mu Yunlie?!

Why was he here?!

Thinking back on how she had seen him in military uniform near the Military Building earlier, a shock ran through Yan Qianyi’s heart.

So... he wasn’t an assassin, could he be a military spy?!

Suddenly, Mu Yunlie briskly walked toward her.

Yan Qianyi stood still, not yet recovered from her shock, when suddenly his long arms encircled her, drawing her forcefully into his embrace, his warm breath on her ear.

"Wife, I’ve missed you to death."

His breathing was heavy, and after speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Indeed, it felt as if the burden of longing had been lifted.

It was Xiao Ah Lie!

Yan Qianyi looked up in surprise.

He, however, pressed down on the back of her head, holding her head tightly against his chest, commanding in a coaxing, fussy voice, "Don’t move, let me hold you."

He buried his face in the top of her head, gently rubbing against it, greedily inhaling the fragrance from her hair.

Just now, while resting in his room, Mu Yunlie had become aware that the toxins in his body were acting up again and had quickly locked himself in his room.

If Yan Qianyi wasn’t in the same place as him, it would have been manageable.

But he found that as long as he knew Yan Qianyi was not far from him, after the toxins acted up, he would seek her out recklessly.

Yet... how could he possibly lock himself away?

Yan Qianyi wanted to push him away, after all, she would work hard to marry Lord Commander in the future, how could she be intimate with Ah Lie, it was too sinful!

But being held tightly in his embrace, her head buzzing, she was completely unable to command her body.

This milk-voiced, sticky Ah Lie was truly irresistible.

"Wife, did you miss me?"

Mu Yunlie finally let go and looked down at her.

Yan Qianyi regained her senses and bit her lip forcefully, pulling away from his embrace.

She composed herself, "Ah Lie!"

"Mm."

His gently uttered ’mm’ made her whole body soften.

She had intended to question him on his unexpected appearance at the training base, but when she spoke, her voice was tender and unrecognizable, "Why are you here?"
