I Forbid You

It was finally nighttime and Qing Chen was already equipped to do his watch at the forest. He had strapped multiple knives to his body. A gun was harder to take out of the weaponry and it was too bulky… and loud.

Feng Xuan was on her desk with a lamp light on when he came. "I thought you left already," she said and walked over Qing Chen.

"Well, I want to say good night first." He bent down and quickly pressed a kiss on her cheek. "If I don't get back before sunrise… you know what to do."

Fear shadowed Feng Xuan's face and she reached out and fisted a hand on his shirt. "You're not gonna die tonight. I forbid you to die."

Qing Chen only gave her a smile and a kiss on the lips. "Yes, wife," he answered. "I'll be back."

He swung his leg over the sill and the other. Then he was gone.
