175: Chapter 175 Passionate as Fire

With Zhao Xiaoshuai's keen senses, he naturally noticed Hao Jinghan the moment she entered.

Actually, he initially thought his Sister-in-law was taking advantage of his drunkenness to study human physiology again.

However, upon smelling that strong scent of alcohol, he realized it was Hao Jinghan.

He glanced at Hao Jinghan's favorability rating in the system—242 (Favorability)—and it was slowly increasing by +1.

He didn't understand the situation; she had been dead drunk just a moment ago, so how did she suddenly wake up from her sleep and start having a surge in favorability?

Could it be that she had an erotic dream about him?

He decided to wait and see what she wanted to do, fearing that if he suddenly woke up, he might scare her off and interrupt Hao Jinghan's inexplicable impulse.

She paused by the bed, seemingly studying his sleeping face for a moment, and after a while, she suddenly lifted his blanket and lay down beside him.

From the physical contact, he could tell that Hao Jinghan had climbed in wearing only her last layer of undergarments; he certainly hadn't undressed her that much when he tucked her in earlier.

Even though she had walked up from the basement, crossing two floors to get here, her body wasn't cold at all; instead, it was scorching hot.

Once under the blanket, her hands didn't stay idle; she caressed his pectoral and abdominal muscles as if she couldn't get enough, and one of her legs even boldly draped over his body.

She was drunk, but all these actions indicated that she was aroused.

Zhao Xiaoshuai could barely hold back from responding to her at this point, but seeing the favorability rating still rising, he forced himself to restrain his impulses.

If he interrupted this strange state, he would be at a loss.

He only knew that Hao Jinghan had taken leave to visit her family, but he didn't know exactly when she was leaving; he had checked that the home leave for unmarried soldiers was 20 days.

That meant his time might be running out; if he missed the opportunity tonight, he might not be able to fully win her over before she returned.

If he let her return to her unit, the long-distance separation would cause the hard-earned favorability to dissipate, and who knows when he would actually be able to get his hands on her.

Zhao Xiaoshuai decided to continue pretending to sleep.

Hao Jinghan's heart was pounding.

Sneaking into the room of a man she had only met twice in the middle of the night was something that, in the eyes of the former Hao Jinghan, would have been absolutely impossible.

However, after experiencing life and death, her mindset had changed significantly from before.

She was still determined to return to her post—that conviction hadn't wavered—but not knowing if she would face life or death again one day, she suddenly felt some regrets.

She hadn't experienced love, hadn't experienced a man; there were still many things in life she hadn't experienced, but once she returned, she might never have the chance to experience them again.

That was the reason for her impulse tonight.

However, taking liberties with Zhao Xiaoshuai while he was sleeping gave her a strange sense of excitement, mixed with a feeling of shame for taking advantage of someone.

"Anyway, you said you wanted to pursue me, so you must like me. Forget it, I'll just steal a few kisses before going back; I can't come all this way for nothing."

Hao Jinghan didn't intend to actually let anything happen with him tonight; there were still a few days left before her vacation ended, and she just wanted to use this time to have a proper romance.

However, she had been jolted awake by a nightmare while half-asleep, and a deep sense of sorrow welled up in her heart, making her suddenly want to find a man to lean on.

At that moment, she naturally thought of Zhao Xiaoshuai.

But after seeing him, that craving had already been satisfied, and the passion was actually slowly cooling down.

Zhao Xiaoshuai also noticed this; seeing that the favorability rating had slowed down after passing 250, he knew he couldn't wait any longer.

With lightning speed, he wrapped his arms around Hao Jinghan, who was pressed against him, and then flipped over to take control, pinning her down.

This way, she wouldn't be startled and run away.

Given Hao Jinghan's skills, she wouldn't normally be subdued by such crude techniques, but for one, her head was spinning and her reaction was a beat slow, and for another, she didn't really want to run away.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be awake already; you were faking it quite convincingly. I didn't even notice."

"You suddenly snuck into my room, so I naturally had to see what was going on. In case you were planning to molest me, I could take the chance to escape."

Hao Jinghan spat, "You're getting what you want and still acting innocent. Do you want to take a look at what your hands are doing?"

Her whole body felt like tightly packed, dense muscle—not the kind that felt rock-hard to the touch, but the kind that had a springy bounce when pressed, which might have been related to her not exerting force.

Overall, however, this high-density muscle made her look less "sturdy" and still like an average female physique, yet she could easily unleash a force that even several grown men couldn't withstand.

Most women have soft waists, but if one had to describe Hao Jinghan's waist, it would be a waist full of vigor.

Just by placing a hand on it, one could feel the explosive power contained within.

He remembered that a while ago, an "electric hip" move was very popular online, and those who could shake fast were jokingly called electric motors.

If Hao Jinghan were to do it, it would surely be the engine of a race car.

She had abdominal muscles that he had already admired many times during their last fight.

They were the kind that weren't very obvious when relaxed, but formed perfect, defined six-pack abs when tensed.

They looked aesthetically powerful, felt distinct to the touch, and one could even feel the vibrant rhythm of life within them.

Her thighs, according to the general opinion of netizens, might get labeled as "thick legs."

But in reality, unless it's a super skinny, bony beauty, thighs can't be that thin without special effects.

Moreover, thin legs often just look pretty but have nothing to feel when you touch them; fleshy legs are different—they feel excellent to the touch and are also easier to create ripples of flesh.

Hao Jinghan's thighs also felt full of power to the touch; he could even imagine the scene where this pair of lethal weapons strangled an enemy.

He estimated that even a wooden stick as thick as an arm, if caught by those legs, would be snapped with ease.

Hao Jinghan's feelings, which had just shown signs of cooling down, were reignited by Zhao Xiaoshuai; her body became scorching hot again, and her favorability rating increased rapidly.

"Have you touched enough? Can you only move your hands?" Hao Jinghan narrowed her drunken eyes and lifted her chin slightly, looking like an arrogant, predatory woman.

This woman was just all talk; if she were really a predatory woman, why would she have been dawdling for so long without even managing to kiss him?

But no matter how stubborn a little mouth is, it's still soft when you kiss it.

"Mmph..."

There was still a strong scent of alcohol in Hao Jinghan's mouth, but in this situation, it only served to stimulate the secretion of hormones.

The temperature under the blanket was getting higher and higher, so Zhao Xiaoshuai simply kicked the blanket away.

After her initial confusion, Hao Jinghan gradually steadied her state of mind; she reached out to wrap her arms around Zhao Xiaoshuai's neck and began to respond passionately.

Rolling and intertwining.

It was also at this moment that the Sister-in-law, having forced herself to muster the courage to save her brother-in-law, arrived outside the master bedroom door.

The door was half-open, and she carefully poked her little head in to take a look.

She didn't see the tragic sight of her brother-in-law being eaten by an evil ghost, but instead saw this scene, passionate as fire.
