Cannon Fodder in an Era Drama — I Survive with Acting-Chapter 18: Uncontrollable

Song Qingya guessed to herself, ’His Physical Strength must be maxed out!’

The system suddenly grew impatient and began to rush her.

"Have you decided how to allocate these points? If you do not wish to assign them at this time, you may also save them for later use."

’Of course I’m using them!’

Song Qingya responded decisively.

’The sooner I use them, the sooner I can enjoy the benefits of the upgrade!’

The interface showed that Song Qingya had exactly ten small, golden dots at her disposal, waiting for her to allocate them.

After some careful consideration, Song Qingya finally decided to put all her attribute points into Physical Strength.

"Ten attribute points are about to be allocated to Physical Strength. Are you sure?"

The system asked for confirmation again.

’Hold on!’

At that moment, Song Qingya’s face flushed with excitement as she hastily revised her point allocation.

Seven points went to Physical Strength, and the remaining three went to Flexibility.

’Because at certain times, good physical flexibility is quite crucial.’

Meanwhile, Fei Jin, who had been waiting anxiously outside, had no idea that Song Qingya was currently engrossed in her space.

He kept checking the time.

He thought, ’Song Qingya just went out with Yuan Wei to talk about what was on her mind.’

But she still hadn’t returned, which made him very anxious.

’Could she have run into some trouble?’

His mind raced with speculation.

After thinking it over, Fei Jin finally decided to find Yuan Wei and ask about the situation.

’Perhaps only Yuan Wei could give him some valuable clues.’

After all, they had been colleagues for many years.

It was shift change, and soldiers usually wore civilian clothes when they weren’t on guard duty.

Fei Jin was no exception and was preparing to change before heading out.

The sun was setting, and its warm afterglow spilled into the room.

His proportions were perfect.

Every muscle was well-defined and powerful.

Unfortunately, however, these perfect lines were also covered with countless scars from battle.

But to Song Qingya, it was precisely these scars that gave him a unique charm.

The moment she pushed the door open, the sight before her almost gave her a nosebleed.

The man in front of her was changing his clothes. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

His bare torso looked even more captivating in the golden sunset.

"Don’t you... knock before entering a room?"

Fei Jin’s voice held a trace of embarrassment, but he quickly grabbed a shirt and threw it on.

But there was no way Song Qingya was going to let an opportunity like this slip by.

She didn’t hesitate for a second.

Instead, she quickly shut the door, strode forward, and threw herself at him.

Hugging Fei Jin tightly, the corners of her mouth curved up slightly.

"Don’t move. Let me hug you for a little longer. Think of it as my reward for making dinner."

Looking at the woman in his arms enjoying the moment with her eyes closed, Fei Jin couldn’t help but soften his breathing.

He quietly took in her scent, letting her hold him gently.

Even though she was trying to pull at his shirt, Fei Jin chose to pretend he didn’t notice.

A fire seemed to have ignited in the pit of his stomach.

The feeling made it hard for him to control himself.

However, he still held back, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The person in his arms remained completely oblivious, her hands continuing to caress his firm waist and abdomen.

’Oh well, let her have her fun.’

Fei Jin silently told himself.

He didn’t realize at all how warmly he was looking at Song Qingya in that moment.

「Time passed quietly.」

Before they knew it, the sun had quietly set behind the mountains.

Song Qingya nearly fell asleep leaning on Fei Jin’s shoulder. Only when a gentle voice called out by her ear did she manage to force her drowsy eyes open.

"You were about to fall asleep."

Fei Jin gave a rare, relaxed smile and gently tapped her nose with his long fingers.

"Are you planning to sleep here? There’s only one blanket, you know."

As he spoke, he glanced at the incredibly simple single bed in the duty room.

Song Qingya immediately shook her head.

"No! I’m sleeping at home!"

She had made their home especially cozy over the past few days.

But this man hadn’t come home to spend the night in days.

’No matter what, I have to find a way to drag him back today.’

Fei Jin gently draped his jacket over Song Qingya and said softly, "Alright."

Fei Jin took her hand, picked up the empty lunchbox, and they walked home together.

Given his status, he actually had a dedicated car and driver.

But Fei Jin was used to walking, and since the military base was less than a kilometer from the residential compound, it was a walk of ten-odd minutes at most.

So he basically never needed to use the car.

Thinking of Song Qingya’s physical condition, Fei Jin asked with concern, "Should we take the car back?"

But Song Qingya refused flatly, "No need!"

She had just boosted her Physical Strength by seven points a few days ago.

’I’m full of energy now, it definitely won’t be like last time!’

Song Qingya took Fei Jin’s hand.

The two of them walked out of the duty room side by side.

Along the way, the soldiers they passed all saluted Fei Jin, their gazes filled with curiosity and envy.

The cheeks of this worldly man actually turned slightly red.

Luckily, his skin, tanned from long-term training, made the blush less obvious.

When they reached the entrance to the small town, the members of the intelligence team had just finished dinner and were chatting idly with fans in hand.

Seeing the young couple walking hand in hand, they instantly fell silent.

After a long moment, someone finally spoke up, "Mr. Fei, heading home?"

Fei Jin squeezed Song Qingya’s hand and nodded.

Song Qingya smiled and greeted everyone, addressing them one by one with sweet and familiar titles she recalled from memory, leaving no room for criticism.

She was really making Fei Jin look good!

’Who said the Fei Family’s daughter-in-law was rude?!’

After the couple had walked some distance away, the crowd immediately broke into discussion.

"Didn’t everyone say the Fei Family was getting a divorce? They seem so in love, how could they possibly split up? It sounds like a baseless rumor."

"It was his aunt, Zhou Huaihua, who spread it. She made it sound so convincing, even said they were going to file for divorce this weekend. I’d like to see if they actually get divorced this week! When the truth comes out, let’s see how she can still show her face in this town."

"The way I see it, Zhou Huaihua just wants to create an opportunity for Xiu Xiu, probably hoping to saddle Mr. Fei with another mouth to feed! What malicious intentions, trying to sow discord in someone else’s family like that. It’s really despicable."

"Tsk, I think it’s just one-sided love on Xiu Xiu’s part. I heard she even went to deliver lunch to him today and came back crying. That girl is just so stubborn. The man is already married, yet she keeps pestering him relentlessly. She really doesn’t know any better."

A few of the older women gathered together, gossiping about Wen Xiuxiu.

They all said the young girl had changed.

She used to be so diligent and knew all the right things to say.

Everyone in the town used to like her.

But starting last month, perhaps because she knew Aunt Zhou was going to introduce her to Fei Jin, she started feeling like she was about to become Mr. Fei’s wife.

Wen Xiuxiu started to put on airs and would barely acknowledge them when she saw them.
