Super Soldier in the City

Li Yifei wanted to attend that kind of wedding, even if he wasn’t directly invited, he knew he had to go as a comrade, not as the Li Family Head or anything like that.

Zhang Tianxing’s hometown was in a mountain village under a certain city in the Inland Province of the Northwest, also known as the Loess Plateau. He was the youngest of several siblings, with a strong constitution from a young age, growing taller than peers, and often getting into fights. When his family saw this was not working out, they sent him to the military. Initially, because of his personality, Zhang Tianxing was often disciplined by veteran soldiers. The military had its own survival rules, which was the same for Li Yifei and others. Veteran soldiers bullying new recruits was not considered bullying; it was more like teaching some life experience.

Later, in boot camp, Zhang Tianxing used his fists to subdue others, of course, within the boundaries of discipline. Even veterans dared not bully him. This incident reached the leaders, who recognized a formidable fighter among the new recruits, transferred him out for a few days of training experiments, and found a promising talent with excellent physical condition and good understanding of firearms and tactics. After some special training, his progress was even faster.

The leaders of the troop were delighted to have a promising talent, which was set to achieve great things. In peacetime, the drills and competitions between troops were key for career accomplishments. After molding Zhang Tianxing for two years, he shone in the military district drills and was later selected by the Flying Hawk Squad. Li Yifei still remembered the first time he saw Zhang Tianxing and his demeanor.

Chin raised, head tilted back, looking down at people through his nostrils. He looked like a young and proud person who refused to submit or be convinced by anyone. Being able to join the Flying Hawk Squad represented strength and excellence, so Li Yifei, who hadn’t become the captain yet, formed an initial opinion of him.

Afterward, Zhang Tianxing faced some challenges. Not only did veteran members beat him, but those newly joining the squad engaged in various fights, which made him put away his arrogance and train earnestly.

Li Yifei remembered that after being disciplined several times, Zhang Tianxing once said, "Damn it, how can there be so many freaks for so many years."

This was said when he hadn’t challenged Li Yifei yet. After some time, Li Yifei rapidly advanced and became the captain, making Zhang Tianxing’s mouth grin almost as if he could swallow a basketball.

Li Yifei had a good impression of Zhang Tianxing, a straightforward and hearty Northwest guy who was hardworking, had no ulterior motives, liked what he liked, disliked what he disliked, and was not stubborn, focusing on the matter, not the person.

It was a pity that Zhang Tianxing retired early and couldn’t experience many things with Li Yifei and others. Upon hearing from Zheng Mingrui about this brave wounded comrade’s wedding, Li Yifei decided to directly attend the wedding.

Zhang Tianxing was back at his hometown in the Northwest after retirement, and over the years, contact was lost. Zheng Mingrui also learned about this through others, or he wouldn’t have known about it.

Li Yifei discussed briefly with his family, and the ladies had no objections. However, Na Yi, upon hearing Li Yifei was going to the Northwest, meekly said, "Yifei, if you are going, would it be convenient to take me along? I mean, it’s been over a year since I left, and I want to go home and see my dad. You can attend the wedding, and I’ll visit my dad. Afterward, I’ll find you, and we can return together."

"Alright, we’ll attend the wedding first, then I’ll accompany you to visit your father-in-law, is that okay?" Li Yifei replied.

Na Yi quickly shook her head, saying, "No, no, Yifei, you’re so busy, I’ll go by myself!"

"It’s fine, that’s settled then. It won’t take many days, a wedding is just one or two days!" Li Yifei said.

Na Yi bit her lip, her chin nestled against her chest, lightly nodded, feeling happy inside.

Li Yifei pinched her cheeks and said, "Go pack some stuff. Meanwhile, we’ll bring more for your father. Let us know what needs to be bought, and they’ll get it for us."

"Okay, thank you, Yifei." Na Yi whispered.

Li Yifei shook his head in dissatisfaction, saying, "Change the way you address me."

"Huh?" Na Yi seemed confused but quickly understood, her face turning a shade of red as she gathered her resolve and murmured, "Husband, thank you!"

"Anything else?" Li Yifei pressed further.

Na Yi widened her eyes, shook her head in confusion, asking, "What else?"

Li Yifei grinned and leaned over, pressing his lips against hers. Her body jolted, afraid to move, but soon she responded, her lips parting as his tongue entered, vigorously reciprocating.

After the kiss, they separated, Li Yifei looking at Na Yi with pouting lips and teary eyes, saying, "In the future, don’t be so formal. We are one, no need for thank you’s. Just speak your mind and let me know your needs directly."

"Okay, I will fix it." Na Yi replied, licking her lips, playfully smiling, finally letting go of some concerns, feeling relaxed and wanting to sing. Yet, before she could start, Li Yifei kissed her again. Her little tongue tasted like honey, faintly sweet, with a hint of fragrance, making Li Yifei not have enough earlier.

Previously he hadn’t realized it, Li Yifei thought while kissing, leading him to be even more focused.

Afterward, Li Yifei asked about his curiosity, which Na Yi embarrassedly answered, "It’s because I... have been tending a plant and drinking water infused with it, which clears the mind, so my tongue... and mouth retain the flavor."

"Oh, it smells nice, makes me want to kiss more," Li Yifei understood, nodding in agreement.

Na Yi’s cheeks were flushed, her heart pounding wildly, reminiscent of the joyful days when they first met. She nodded vigorously and said, "Then I’ll drink more of it later."

"Silly girl, I meant I want to kiss you." Li Yifei said.

Na Yi let out a soft sound, leapt into Li Yifei’s arms, burying her face in his chest and nuzzled against him. Li Yifei felt some moisture on his chest, and hugged Na Yi in return. Perhaps it was only now that the knots and guilt in her heart had truly unraveled, maybe there were remnants, but they wouldn’t affect her mood.

"Hubby, hubby!" Na Yi held Li Yifei tight and called out.

"Mhm, I’m here."

"Hubby! I just felt like calling you."

"I like hearing it too."

Those words sounded a bit suggestive, and Na Yi seemed to realize it too. After a pause, she emerged from Li Yifei’s embrace, stuck her tongue out and said, "Hubby, I’ll go pack my things first. Are we leaving today?"

"No rush, we’ll leave tomorrow!" Li Yifei replied.

Na Yi patted her chest and said, "That’s good, gives me enough time to prepare. I really want to bring some things for my dad!"

"Go ahead, it’s fine even if you bring a lot. We’re taking our own plane, and if there are too many things, we can arrange for someone to send them over." Li Yifei said.

"Okay!" Na Yi nodded vigorously, turned and headed out. At the door, she stopped, ran back, stood on tiptoe to hug Li Yifei, and offered her kiss.

After another long kiss, Na Yi was a bit breathless and whispered, "Hubby, I’m really going now."

"No, you’re not!" Li Yifei said, lowering his voice, and without waiting for Na Yi to respond, he bent down to pick her up, carrying her swiftly towards the bedroom.

"Ah... I, hubby, we..."

"Is it that you’re not ready yet?" Li Yifei stopped and asked.

Na Yi’s gaze wavered. She was about to nod but quickly shook her head, saying, "No, I’ve been ready for a long time. It’s just that... we’re leaving tomorrow, and if we do it now, I worry my body might not recover in time for the trip!"

Li Yifei raised his eyebrows, pondered her reasoning, and then said, "Then let’s wait a couple more days, once we’re back at the place where you were born and raised, where our destiny began, and then I’ll devour you!"

"Mhm mhm!" Na Yi nodded repeatedly, bashfully saying, "Okay!"

"Go on!" Li Yifei let Na Yi go, patting her little bottom.

Na Yi left, while Li Yifei looked down to catch his breath, still savoring the fragrance of the little girl’s tea. He really liked the taste of the floral tea Na Yi drank and felt a subtle sweetness in his mouth.

His body had reacted, so Li Yifei needed to find a way to resolve it. His silhouette flashed as he left his home. Today was a weekday, and not many of the girls in the house were home. Li Yifei chose to go straight to Chu Xiaoyao’s room. Upon entering the bedroom, he heard Chu Xiaoyao shouting and playing games, while Su Lio and Meng Xiaofei were watching intently. Chu Xiaoyao was manipulating the computer with flair, while the two women watched with bright eyes.

Upon bursting in, Li Yifei hadn’t sensed Meng Xiaofei’s presence. He was even ready to undo his pants for a surprise attack, and as for his shirt, it had long vanished. As Li Yifei rushed in, Meng Xiaofei and Su Lio also heard the commotion, turned to see Li Yifei grasping his pants, shirtless.

They were stunned; only Chu Xiaoyao continued to shout in excitement while the other two stared wide-eyed.

In the Li family, there were many women. In the eyes of outsiders, these women were all Li Yifei’s wives, his private possessions. But in reality, Xu Shanshan and Meng Xiaofei’s status were very unique. The former had never gone public due to ethical issues, and hadn’t taken the final step, while the latter... had an exceedingly intimate encounter with Li Yifei while in Japan, yet the relationship had rather cooled upon returning to China during this time.

But what has happened has indeed happened. Regardless of whether it has cooled, it objectively exists. It’s just not as publicly acknowledged as Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei’s relationship by the Li family. The intimate interactions between Meng Xiaofei and Li Yifei were known only to the two of them.

The scatterbrained flight attendant was on vacation recently. Seeing Li Yifei in that state, she rolled her eyes and somewhat discontentedly said, "Hey, why don’t you pay a little attention. This is Chu Xiaoyao’s place, you’re just going bare-bodied, that’s too much."
