Rebirth in the 1970s: Refusing to Be a Side Character

Chapter 29: A Fractured Bond

◎Is it his life?◎

By a desolate road, a military jeep was parked in the grass, with sounds emanating from inside that could make one blush.

Eventually, the heat and impulse within Lu Jinzhuo subsided. He held the person in his arms tightly, their bodies pressed close together.

He could even feel the steady heartbeat against him...

That was his heart.

The person in his arms was his life, no, more important than his life.

Lu Jinzhuo gazed at Dong Jiaojiao's sleeping face, his eyes reflecting an unreadable depth of emotion. After a while, he reluctantly pulled away and gently placed her on the back seat.

He then picked up his crumpled shirt and covered her with it.

Finally, he quickly tidied himself and went to the front seat to drive.

He couldn't return to the military base in this state, so he turned the vehicle towards his house in Lingnan City.

It was already past one in the morning. The streets were empty except for a speeding jeep.

Soon, Lu Jinzhuo arrived at his destination, a two-story house with a private yard. Without keys, he had to climb over the wall, open the big iron gate, and drive the car into the yard.

He retrieved a spare key from under a flower pot, unlocked the door, and entered the house.

The house was regularly cleaned, likely because the staff knew of Lu Jinzhuo's obsession with cleanliness. Everything was spotless.

Lu Jinzhuo, shirtless, carefully carried Dong Jiaojiao to the bedroom and placed her on the clean sheets.

Under the warm orange light of the room, there was a cozy, sweet atmosphere enveloping Lu Jinzhuo.

He looked at the curled-up figure on the bed with tender affection. After a soft kiss on her fluffy head, he headed to the bathroom to wash up.

After cleaning himself, he drew some water and tended to Dong Jiaojiao's injuries. When he touched the swollen areas, his eyes darkened, and he treated her with extra care, as if handling a rare treasure.

Once he finished, he took a cold shower.

The house had several rooms. Besides his master bedroom, there was also a guest room, usually prepared for Li Xiang, as they occasionally stayed in the city.

Although Lu Jinzhuo could have slept in Li Xiang's room, he decided to sleep in his own bed.

He lay down and gently pulled Dong Jiaojiao into his embrace.

In the middle of the night, Dong Jiaojiao felt hot and unconsciously pushed against the heat source beside her. When she couldn't push him away, he only drew closer, holding her tighter.

Dong Jiaojiao, eyes still closed, instinctively tried to escape the "fire pit" with all her strength.

Lu Jinzhuo hadn't slept at all. With Dong Jiaojiao moving restlessly in his arms, it was like playing with fire.

Earlier, he had been patient, but now, seeing her vigorous movements, he decided she had rested enough.

Faced with such a Dong Jiaojiao, Lu Jinzhuo had no resistance.

Especially after experiencing passion, he couldn't resist her allure.

Thus, he flipped over and became the predator.
