Chapter 179 Stargazing Battlefield? The RV roof was too cold, so the third brother took off his clot
With the "Qin's Logistics" signboard prominently displayed at the Heishizhai branch, this commercial battle of speed and passion finally came to a perfect end before nightfall.
The return journey wasn't as fast as the way there.
The jet-black modified RV, "Chasing Clouds," was like a well-fed and satisfied beast, lazily driving across the vast and boundless northwestern wilderness.
It was already late at night.
The wind in the wilderness, carrying a sharp whistle, howled and swept through the withered grass, making a series of desolate rustling sounds.
But the cold was effectively kept out by the thick walls of the car and the double-layered soundproof glass.
Inside the carriage, the floor heating was warm, and the air was filled with the fragrance of incense.
Su Wan was curled up on the large, soft couch, covered with the wool blanket that Qin Yue had messed up during his "inspection," looking languid and tired.
"Tired?"
Qin Yue sat beside her, holding a cup of warm jujube tea, which he was feeding her intermittently.
The fox eyes no longer held the shrewd calculations of the daytime, but rather a sense of contentment after satiation.
"Fourth Brother, do you still dare to ask?"
Su Wan glared at him, but her eyes were moist and harmless, almost like she was being coquettish.
She moved her body slightly, and the area around her waist that Qin Yue had focused on immediately felt sore and weak.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask."
Qin Yue chuckled, put down his teacup, and reached out to massage her waist again.
Just then.
"Squeak—"
The carriage suddenly stopped.
All around was deathly silent, except for the sound of the wind growing louder.
"Why did you stop?" Su Wan's heart tightened, and she instinctively grabbed Qin Yue's sleeve. "Were there robbers? Or are the Ma family here again?"
"Robbers?"
Qin Yue raised an eyebrow and reached out to brush the tip of her nose:
"In this northwestern region, who dares to hijack the Qin family's car now?"
"That is..."
Before he finished speaking, a slight sound of gears turning suddenly came from the roof of the car.
"Click, click."
Then, the previously closed black roof above our heads began to slowly slide open like a blooming lotus flower.
A cool night breeze, carrying the unique scent of vegetation from the wilderness, slipped in through the open crack, instantly dispelling the sweet, warm fragrance inside the carriage.
Su Wan looked up in surprise.
The next second, she almost stopped breathing.
Without the roof of the car to block the view, the vast and boundless starry sky pressed down on us without reservation.
The Milky Way stretches like a ribbon, and the stars are like brocade.
The stars were so large they seemed within reach, shimmering with a cold yet dazzling light, so beautiful they brought tears to my eyes.
"Wow……"
Su Wan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Sister-in-law! How about it! This is a surprise from your brothers!"
From above the roof came the excited shouts of Qin Feng, the fifth brother.
Immediately afterwards, familiar faces appeared at the edge of the open roof.
It turns out that this "Chasing Clouds" vehicle not only has a luxurious interior, but its roof has also undergone special reinforcement treatment, turning it into a mobile viewing terrace.
At this moment, apart from Hu He who was driving, all seven Qin brothers were on board.
"Want to come up and take a look?"
The eldest brother, Qin Lie, stood at the edge of the gap, his back to the starry sky, and stretched out his broad and powerful hand to her.
Backlit, his silhouette was as majestic as a mountain, yet his eyes were deeper than the starry sky.
……
The wind on the roof was much stronger than inside the carriage.
As soon as Su Wan was pulled up, she couldn't help but shiver.
"Ouch... It's so cold."
She was only wearing a thin, moon-white long dress, with a wool blanket draped over it, which offered no protection against the chill of the desolate wilderness in the dead of night.
"cold?"
Qin Lie frowned, about to untie his cloak and wrap her in it.
But a figure as hot as a furnace rushed towards him first.
"Brother, that's just a fur coat. It might block the wind, but it's not as warm as mine!"
The third brother, Qin Meng, a man as tall as an iron tower, was shirtless at the moment—that's right, in the freezing cold night with temperatures below minus ten degrees Celsius, he had actually taken off his shirt!
His muscles were bulging, and his bronze skin gleamed with an oily sheen under the starlight. You could even see a faint white vapor rising from his body due to his vigorous blood circulation.
That's a human-shaped stove.
"Sister-in-law, come here!"
Without saying a word, Qin Meng stretched out his long arm and scooped Su Wan, blanket and all, into his arms like he was holding a rag doll.
"Third Brother! Aren't you...aren't you cold?"
Su Wan was lifted off the ground by his embrace, her back pressed tightly against his bare, burning chest.
The extreme temperature difference made her shiver involuntarily.
"Cold my foot!"
Qin Meng chuckled, his voice so loud it made Su Wan's eardrums buzz:
"I'm a very strong and energetic person! I was feeling stuffy down there and was worried about where to cool off!"
As he spoke, he plopped down on the thick cushion that had been laid out on the roof of the car.
Su Wan was forced to sit between his legs.
This is an extremely ambiguous yet extremely safe position.
Qin Meng's two thighs, like two thick tree trunks, firmly held her in the middle, blocking the cold wind from both sides.
His chest, however, is the warmest wall.
"Sister-in-law, give me your hand."
Qin Meng felt the person in his arms was still trembling slightly. He frowned and grabbed Su Wan's icy little hands.
It wasn't just holding it.
Instead, he boldly lifted the sheepskin coat draped around his waist (although he had taken off his shirt, he still had one around his waist), and then placed Su Wan's hand directly on his hard, warm abdominal muscles.
"Hmm!"
Su Wan exclaimed in surprise.
The tactile sensation under the palm of my hand was so vivid.
Those were muscles brimming with explosive power, rising and falling slightly with his breathing.
The scalding heat traveled down her palm and into her veins, making her heart tremble.
"Third Brother...this...this is inappropriate..."
"What's inappropriate about it?"
Qin Meng held her hand firmly, even rubbing it against his stomach with her hand in his own.
"This is the middle of nowhere, and there are no outsiders here."
"My sister-in-law is cold, but I'm hot."
"This is called... borrowing a light."
"Sister-in-law, feel free to touch me. I hope you can suck away all the heat from my body so I don't have nowhere to vent my anger and feel uncomfortable."
As he spoke, he rested his chin on Su Wan's head, his heavy breathing spraying through her hair.
The strong, masculine scent of sweat and hormones instantly enveloped Su Wan.
It doesn't smell.
On the contrary, it gives you a sense of security that makes your legs weak.
"Third brother, tone it down."
Qin Mo, standing nearby, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, watching this scene, a cold glint flashing behind the lenses:
"Your sister-in-law is here to admire the stars, not to be your fire extinguisher."
Although he said that, Qin Mo's body language betrayed him.
He silently sat down to Su Wan's left, using his body, clad in a thick woolen coat, to shield her from the wind on her left.
"The second brother is right."
Qin Yue squeezed to the right as well: "It's windy here, we need to build a 'human windbreak' for my sister-in-law."
Su Wan was surrounded by seven men, as if she were the center of attention.
Behind her was Qin Meng, who was as hot as a furnace; to her left and right were Qin Mo and Qin Yue; and in front of her were the twins squatting down to shield her from the wind.
Even Qin An, the seventh brother who was usually the most gloomy, sat silently at her feet, holding a hand warmer in his hand, warming her feet through the blanket.
"Sister-in-law, look at that."
Qin Yun, the sixth brother, pointed to the brightest star in the sky, breaking the somewhat suffocating silence:
"That's Polaris."
"I heard that if you make a wish upon it, you will never get lost again."
"Sister-in-law, make a wish?" Qin Feng, the fifth brother, also came over, his bright, puppy-like eyes staring at her.
Su Wan looked up.
A sky full of stars fell into her eyes.
In modern times, she had never seen such a pure and breathtaking starry sky.
There are no neon lights to disturb you, and no smog to obstruct your view.
Only the most primitive desolation and grandeur remain.
"Make a wish..."
Su Wan muttered to herself.
She closed her eyes and clasped her hands together (although her hands were still pressed on Qin Meng's abs, making the posture a bit strange).
"hope……"
"I hope the Qin family's path can continue to be this smooth."
I hope everyone stays safe and sound.
"hope……"
She paused, but didn't say anything.
I hope that these seven men who cherish her will continue to stay by her side like they do now.
Even if... in this somewhat crowded and absurd way.
"What did my sister-in-law promise?" Qin Meng asked curiously, his big, furry head nuzzling against her cheek like a spoiled giant bear.
"It won't work if you say it out loud."
Su Wan opened her eyes, smiled, and nudged his head.
Qin Meng didn't move. Instead, he turned his head to the side and his lips brushed lightly against her earlobe.
"It's okay if my sister-in-law doesn't tell me."
His voice suddenly lowered, carrying a depth and intensity that seemed incongruous with his appearance:
Anyway, I only have one wish.
"This is my whole life..."
"May everything be like tonight."
"To be a stove for my sister-in-law."
"When my sister-in-law gets cold, she snuggles into my arms."
"If my sister-in-law finds it too hot..."
His large hand, which was wrapped around Su Wan's waist, suddenly tightened, pressing against her through the wool blanket, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Then kick me away."
"But as soon as my sister-in-law turns around..."
"I'm definitely still burning up in the same spot."
"Never to perish."
These unexpected words of love are more dazzling than the starlight in the sky.
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat.
She turned her head and bumped right into Qin Meng's tiger-like eyes, which seemed to reflect the Milky Way.
The firelight there was sincere and intense, enough to start a prairie fire.
"Third Brother..."
A thought struck her, and as if possessed, she reached out and touched his somewhat rough but well-defined face.
My fingertips felt slightly cool.
The skin that touched it was surprisingly hot.
I won't kick you.
Su Wan spoke softly, her voice carried away by the wind, yet clearly reaching everyone's ears:
"Such a fine stove..."
"I can't bear to part with it."
Qin Meng was startled.
next second.
He suddenly lowered his head, witnessed by the starry sky and in the howling cold wind.
He pecked those alluring red lips hard and forcefully.
"Pop".
The sound was very loud.
He was filled with a sense of smug satisfaction at his successful sneak attack.
"With my sister-in-law's words..."
Qin Meng grinned, smiling like a child who had received all the candy in the world:
"Even if I have to freeze on this rooftop all night..."
"In my heart..."
"It's piping hot!"
The brothers around them watched this scene with a bitter taste in their mouths, but none of them interrupted.
Because they know.
This moment.
This starry sky.
This car.
And this woman.
It belongs to all of them.
In this desolate and chaotic world, this is their only warm haven.
……
until late at night.
The cold air grew stronger and stronger, and even Qin Meng, who was like a human furnace, began to feel the strain.
The group reluctantly returned to the carriage.
The warmth from the underfloor heating enveloped my entire body once again.
Su Wan took off her coat, which was stained with the chill and Qin Meng's sweat, and crawled into Qin Yue's specially made spring bed.
"call……"
She sighed comfortably, feeling the chill in her bones gradually dissipate.
however.
Just as she was drifting off to sleep...
Suddenly, a corner of the blanket was lifted.
A figure, warm yet slightly damp, slipped inside.
"Who?" Su Wan asked groggily.
"Sister-in-law, it's me."
Qin Meng's voice rang out in the darkness, carrying the fresh scent of soap from a recent shower, along with an irrepressible heat:
"My older brother said..."
"I was out in the wind just now, and I was worried that my sister-in-law would catch a cold."
"Let me in..."
A large, hot hand expertly wrapped around her waist, pulling her into that familiar, firm embrace.
"Let me warm your sister-in-law up a bit more."
"If you sweat from being covered up... you won't get sick."
Su Wan rubbed against that hard chest helplessly.
This excuse...
It's absolutely rotten.
but……
It's really warm.
