Chapter 180: 180: Wei Qing's Thoughts
The sudden voice startled Liu Junyi, prompting her to quickly distance herself from Ye Fei arms. She subconsciously straightened her military uniform, which was only slightly disheveled, and said, "Is that Wei Qing? Come in."
Outside the door stood Wei Qing. Having practiced some internal skills, she woke after just two hours of sleep. As memories of her interaction with Ye Fei at the shooting range surfaced, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Although she had been drunk at the time, fragments of that moment lingered in her mind. She recalled not only asking Ye Fei who was prettier—herself or his aunt—but also taking the bold step of kissing him.
In the military camp, where most soldiers were male, she had always maintained her distance. Other than during combat competitions, there was no physical contact. Yet, today, she had lost her first kiss while intoxicated and had initiated it herself. She felt no justification to blame Ye Fei.
Reflecting on the incident left Wei Qing a bit angry, but she realized that her anger stemmed not from kissing Ye Fei in a daze, but from her own drunkenness—she hadn't even been able to savor the kiss.
This realization made her feel both ashamed and guilty, stirring a whirlwind of emotions within her. When she thought back to their first meeting, she remembered disliking Ye Fei. Now, her feelings were confused; normally, she would be furious that he had stolen her first kiss, yet she found herself wanting to see him again.
After hastily washing up, Wei Qing wandered aimlessly through the courtyard, trying to dispel the strange feelings swirling in her heart. However, instead of finding peace, her emotions only grew more chaotic, intensifying her curiosity about Ye Fei.
By chance, she found herself standing outside Liu Junyi's door. In a moment of spontaneity, she called out, "Report!"
Immediately regretting her choice of words, she thought about how little she knew Liu Junyi. What could she possibly ask her? She couldn't inquire about Ye Fei's usual behavior; that would be embarrassing. But since she had already attracted a response from inside, she felt she had no choice but to enter, mustering her courage.
Liu Junyi's demeanor had shifted since discovering that Ye Fei was not exclusive to her and Lin Ling. When she saw Wei Qing again, the earlier anger had vanished. She smiled lightly and said, "Please, make yourself comfortable. What can I do for you, Wei Qing?"
Wei Qing was momentarily taken aback; she hadn't expected Ye Fei to be there. Upon seeing him, her mind raced back to their previous encounter, and her cheeks flushed. For a moment, she failed to register that Liu Junyi was addressing her.
Noticing Wei Qing's flustered expression, Liu Junyi pouted in mild annoyance, rolling her eyes at Ye Fei, and reiterated her question.
Finally, Wei Qing gathered her wits and responded, "I wanted to ask when we can take action." As soon as the words left her lips, she realized how presumptuous she sounded, and her face reddened even more.
Ye Fei, unable to bear her embarrassment, smiled reassuringly and said, "My aunt and I are discussing the matter, and we'd like your input on whether this plan is feasible."
Liu Junyi shot Ye Fei a playful glare, suppressing her jealousy. "Yes, I'm a bit uncertain," she added, explaining Ye Fei's strategy to Wei Qing. She concluded with, "What do you think?"
Wei Qing's eyes lit up as she replied earnestly, "Captain Liu, I've just realized that you're not the commander-in-chief just because you're stronger than us. This plan is practically flawless."
Liu Junyi smiled slightly but didn't clarify that the plan had originated with Ye Fei. She decided to seize the opportunity to enhance her own standing with Wei Qing. If Wei Qing recognized Liu Junyi's capabilities, it might lead to her calling Liu Junyi "sister or maybe aunt" if she ever joined the Ye family. Though Liu Junyi was generous, she still had her feminine instincts.

Knowing that Wei Qing was present, Liu Junyi opted not to act affectionately toward Ye Fei. Rather than seeing them together without being able to enjoy it, she thought it best to fulfill their wish. "You two go ahead," she instructed. "I need some time to refine this plan further."
Wei Qing was surprised that Liu Junyi was letting Ye Fei accompany her. Flushing with both shyness and anticipation, she murmured, "Okay, Captain Liu, I'll head out first."
Ye Fei added, "Sister Wei, please wait outside for a moment. I'll join you after I finish talking with my aunt."
Wei Qing's face grew even redder at Ye Fei's ambiguous words, and she hurried out. Once the door closed behind her, Liu Junyi turned to Ye Fei and asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to discuss?"
After experiencing Wei Qing's first kiss, Ye Fei found her presence lingering in his heart, yet he prioritized Liu Junyi's feelings. He gently inquired, "Why are you letting me be with her? Aren't you jealous?"
"Don't be ridiculous!" Liu Junyi rolled her eyes at him, but her heart swelled with sweetness. It felt rewarding that he cared for her feelings so much.
Ye Fei chuckled, wrapped his arms around Liu Junyi, and whispered in her ear, "Are you truly not jealous? If you're unhappy, I can stay with you, I won't go anywhere."
Liu Junyi nestled in his embrace, but replied, "Stop with the nonsense. Do you think I don't know your devious thoughts? You're such a playboy, yet I can't help it—I like you. If I've chosen to accept you, I must accept everything that comes with it, including the women you like. But don't take it too far."
Her simple words moved Ye Fei deeply. He tightened his hold on her and declared, "My dear Junyi, I will never let you down."
"Of course." Liu Junyi suddenly giggled, adding, "If you dare to betray me, I'll make sure to cut off your—let's say—assets so no woman can touch them!" As she spoke, she playfully pinched his cock through his pants as if wielding scissors.
Ye Fei gasped, "You can't do that; I'll need it for the rest of my life!"
They shared laughter and playful banter until Liu Junyi urged him to leave. As he stepped outside, he found Wei Qing still waiting.
"Are you getting impatient?" Ye Fei approached her with a smile.
Wei Qing blushed and stammered, "No, no, I'm just enjoying the scenery."
"Alright, let's go." Ye Fei wanted to take her hand but hesitated, unsure of how she would react.
Wei Qing nodded, trailing slowly behind him. The silence between them felt awkward.
This won't do! Ye Fei thought, breaking the silence. "Sister Wei, if I'm not mistaken, you've practiced some internal skills?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Qing relaxed slightly. "It's not quite internal skill; it just makes me sharper and stronger than average. I haven't found any other benefits, and it took over ten years to develop this capability."
Ye Fei felt a twinge of confusion. As far as he knew, there were no martial arts styles that were as ineffective as she described. Even the least effective forms should provide more than such limited benefits, especially after a decade of practice. Curiosity piqued, he asked, "Would you mind telling me which martial arts school you trained with?"
"I'm not sure which school it belongs to," Wei Qing admitted, her cheeks flushing—not from shyness this time. "As a child, I was too curious and bought an ancient book from a used book stall. It claimed to teach internal strength, so I practiced it. However, after a year without results, I kept meditating out of habit. It was only last year that I began seeing some success."
Ye Fei couldn't help but smile wryly at her story, admiring her persistence and a hint of luck. Remarkably, she had developed some internal strength from a shabby book without going astray. She must have been incredibly fortunate.
However, while she seemed fine, it was likely that her meridians were damaged. Ye Fei said with concern, "Sister Wei, let me check for any hidden dangers from your intense training. I hope you don't mind." With that, he took her hand and gently probed her meridians with a trace of his internal force.
Suddenly grasped by Ye Fei's hand, Wei Qing felt a wave of shyness wash over her and instinctively struggled. Yet, his grip was firm, and she had no choice but to let him hold her. She glanced around nervously, relieved to see no one in the courtyard. As she focused on Ye Fei's serious expression, a sweet, unfamiliar feeling blossomed in her heart.
Fortunately, Ye Fei's internal strength far surpassed Wei Qing's, or their mutual shyness might have made the situation unbearable. After a moment, Ye Fei released her hand and sighed, "Fortunately, the damage isn't serious, but you should stop practicing this technique."
Startled, Wei Qing asked urgently, "Is something wrong?"
Ye Fei nodded gently. "You've been practicing an incomplete technique that has damaged your meridians. Continuing could lead to severe consequences."
"Is there a solution?" Despite her concern. Wei Qing's trust in Ye Fei was unwavering. Deep down. she believed that with his strength, he could solve the problem.
Ye Fei shook his head. "Right now. I can't completely heal your meridians. However, as long as you stop practicing that incomplete technique, and I use my internal energy to nurture your meridians regularly, everything should stabilize. Eventually, once my strength improves more. I'll be able to fully repair the damage.
Ye Fei withheld one important detail: if Wei Qing practiced dual cultivation with him, the gentle energy produced during intercourse would easily repair her meridians. However, since their relationship wasn't yet fully established. he didn't bring this up.
Upon hearing his reassurance, Wei Qing. who had been worried, visibly relaxed. A little frustrated that he had scared her unnecessarily, she rolled her eyes at him. "Why couldn't you have just said I'd be fine from the start? You gave me a fright for nothing!"
This was the first time Wei Qing showed such playful behavior in front of Ye Fei. and it made his heart stir. He couldn't help but praise her. "Sister Qing, you're truly beautiful!" His casual use of "Sister Qing" instead of the more formal "Sister Wei" made their relationship feel much closer.
Hearing this. Wei Qing felt sweetness rise in her heart, but her natural shyness quickly took over. She glared at him with her big, beautiful eyes and scolded. "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Alright, alright. I'll stop." Ye Fei chuckled. "But earlier at the shooting range, you..."
"Don't bring that up!" Wei Qing's face turned even redder, and she hastily cut him off. "We were just competing in marksmanship earlier at the shooting range, and nothing else happened. Say it out loud!"
In her flustered state. Wei Qing's words sounded like a little girl trying to cover up her feelings, which only made her seem even more endearing. Ye Fei couldn't help but tease her. "Yes, we were just competing in shooting, and my lovely Sister Qing definitely didn't kiss me on the lips ."
Blushing furiously. Wei Qing could no longer handle the embarrassment. She turned around and began to walk away. her body twisting in frustration as her body twisting in frustration as she headed toward her dormitory. After a few steps, she paused, spun around, and glared at Ye Fei. "You better not tell anyone, or I'll never forgive you!"
Watching Wei Qing's adorable reaction, Ye Fei smiled mischievously. "Don't worry. I have no intention of telling anyone. But you know. I have trouble keeping my mouth shut. I might need something to block it.
"
Still flustered and not quite understanding what he meant. Wei Qing responded quickly. "What do you need to block it? I'll find it for you!"
Ye Fei's grin widened. "Well, nothing ordinary will do. But if you let me taste your sweet little lips, that might just do the trick."
Finally catching on to his teasing, Wei Qing felt a mix of shame and indignation. Without another word, she stomped her foot in frustration and hurried back to her dormitory. Yet, deep down, an unexpected feeling of anticipation stirred within her at the thought of "shutting him up" with a kiss.
