Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1915 - 1980: Su Lio Can’t Sleep

Seeing Li Yifei swimming, Sarama hurried to join in, but unfortunately, after two laps, she couldn’t keep up. Li Yifei wasn’t just swimming anymore; he was faster than a fish. In the thirty-meter pool, Li Yifei would make a lap in the blink of an eye, then another lap without even needing to breathe mid-way. Sarama counted five laps before Li Yifei finally lifted his head out of the water to take a breath.

What a... superhuman man, no wonder he’s my hero. Sarama stopped swimming, sitting by the poolside, her feet splashing rhythmically in the water, creating little waves as she watched Li Yifei swim with sparkling eyes and drooling mouth.

Su Lio was also watching. Seeing Li Yifei swim so fast, she couldn’t help but silently praise him. If he participated in the Olympics, the world records would be rewritten with terrifying numbers.

After swimming freely, Li Yifei saw He Fangqing and the others eating. He patted his stomach and joined them, plopping down on He Fangqing’s deck chair, directly facing Su Lio. When Li Yifei looked up, he noticed something odd about Su Lio’s gaze. While she was looking at him, it was clear her focus was elsewhere.

Following her gaze, Li Yifei found Su Lio staring at his crotch, this...

Su Lio felt like she’d been electrocuted. She was just curious... that’s why she looked. How could there be such a large mark under those wet shorts, and Li Yifei caught her staring. Su Lio quickly looked away, but it was too late; she felt like a thief caught in the act.

Unable to bear Li Yifei’s gaze, Su Lio stood up, wrapped herself tightly in a towel, and whispered, "I’m a bit tired. I’m going back to my room."

"Don’t go, the food you ordered will be here soon. Eat before you go back. The sunshine here is so warm, not cold at all," Xu Shanshan said, her mouth full of chicken.

"No... I’m fine," Su Lio replied.

Sarama also urged her to stay, but He Fangqing seemed to understand and said, "Ali, you go ahead. I’ll bring the food to you later. It’s good to replenish some food after swimming."

"Thank you, Sister Fangqing." Su Lio nodded gratefully and took small steps towards the villa.

Li Yifei chuckled, shook his head, and also picked up a piece of chicken, eating heartily.

The food Su Lio ordered was delivered by Li Yifei, who also took the opportunity to check her health and slightly adjust her condition with True Qi.

Li Yifei’s True Qi attribute differed from Su Tianhai’s. If Su Tianhai adjusted Su Lio’s body daily, it wouldn’t have been as effective, or he’d have done it before. However, Li Yifei was in his prime, his True Qi bursting with Yang energy, and his special cultivation method, coupled with the nurturing from the Kunlun Stone Wall’s Innate Vital Energy, gave him a solid foundation, making his effect much more potent.

Every time Li Yifei used True Qi to adjust her, Su Lio felt extremely comfortable, but images of Li Yifei in just his underwear, his body, muscles, and certain parts she shouldn’t be looking at always floated in her mind.

That night, Su Lio couldn’t sleep. Typically, after Li Yifei’s adjustment, she’d sleep peacefully without even dreaming, but this time was different. She closed her eyes and saw Li Yifei’s body, leaving her no choice but to grab her phone, browse Twitter, and watch videos until late at night. Just as she felt sleepy, she heard sounds she wasn’t supposed to hear.

Finally, when she fell asleep, Su Lio dreamed. It was her very first intimate dream, her first time experiencing such a thing. She had no idea what an intimate dream was before this, but now she understood the meaning of those two words.

Whether it was the stimulating sounds next door or some other reason, the dream was filled with Li Yifei’s image, involved in embarrassing activities with her. Su Lio had no idea why the dream was so vivid when she’d never experienced such things, but it was scarily clear in the dream.

After waking up, Su Lio sat dazed for a long time, touching her burning face. Once she snapped out of it, she reached a hand under the covers, and a few seconds later, she quickly sat up, rushing to the bathroom without caring that her body wasn’t fully awake. Once in the bathroom, she got stunned again; her underwear was soaking. She thought her period had come, given that it was very irregular, but upon checking, it hadn’t. Her underwear was wet but not with blood...

Meanwhile, Li Yifei was sleeping until late morning with Xu Shanshan. Without the many eyes at home watching them, they felt more at ease in Dubai. Usually, they took turns staying with each other—today, he was with Xu Shanshan; tomorrow, he’d be with He Fangqing. As the eldest sister, He Fangqing wouldn’t say anything, but they never slept together as a threesome.

After waking up, Li Yifei practiced for a bit before taking a bath with Xu Shanshan, and then they went downstairs to eat.

Today’s agenda involved only one thing—suppressing Su Lio’s cold energy, a task that requires weekly attention. Occasionally, like yesterday, Li Yifei would adjust her body with True Qi, doing it whenever he could.

This doesn’t consume much True Qi, but suppressing the cold energy is exhausting.

After a few suppressions, Li Yifei found considerable improvement. Su Lio’s condition hadn’t worsened, nor had the cold energy’s flare-up advanced, allowing Li Yifei to breathe a sigh of relief. If Su Lio’s condition continuously deteriorated, Li Yifei wouldn’t have a solution. At once a week, he managed; every three to four days, he could handle, but escalating to daily treatments would leave him no time for anything else, making it unbearable for Su Lio.

Li Yifei discussed this with Su Tianhai, who also felt relieved, knowing that he didn’t have to worry about Su Lio’s condition worsening for the time being, allowing him to continue seeking a cure, including achieving the Indescribable Realm to replace Su Lio’s meridians.

As long as there’s life, there’s hope—this belief was shared by both Su Tianhai and Li Yifei.

After the treatment, Li Yifei left Su Lio’s bedroom, quietly closing the door behind him so she could rest. Downstairs, he heard Su Mengxin and others discussing matters related to the factory, which had resumed normal operations. Those already built were preparing for operation, while those under construction continued smoothly. Security personnel from both Dubai and Huaxia had been dispatched for protection. The Li family’s multi-billion project was being led by the state, but the Li family maintained a unique and respected standing, encouraging Dubai to liaise directly with them.

However, a recent incident involved Wu Shuwei’s company, a large national enterprise, dispatching a leader after Li Yifei handed over responsibilities. Despite the leader’s outrageous actions, including widespread embezzlement and causing a small worker strike due to unpaid wages, he acted without restraint due to being far from direct oversight.

Two months ago, Xu Shanshan accompanied He Fangqing to Dubai to address these issues. The leader’s excessive corruption nearly delayed the project indefinitely if not for He Fangqing’s intervention and negotiations with Dubai.

Dubai’s attitude wasn’t much better, as local workers were reluctant, necessitating the hiring of workers from Huaxia and elsewhere, complicating the workforce mix. An investigation revealed that the kidnapping was caused by a few Afghans within the factory leaking information.

The domestic leader ultimately lacked competence, was driven by greed, and insisted on personally approving everything. His negligence delayed a crucial construction permit for over two weeks, affecting the deadline.

When things went wrong, he disappeared rather than attend to the issues, leaving them unresolved without He Fangqing’s arrival.

As Li Yifei prepared to suppress Su Lio’s cold energy, a group arrived outside the villa, led by no other than the very leader from Wu Shuwei’s enterprise. He hadn’t left Dubai, hoping to resurface once the situation calmed, banking on weak communication and connections back home.

Now emboldened upon seeing the situation no longer critical, he intended to regain his authority, paying no heed to the Li family. As a scion of a notable family, Zhao Xifa doubted the Li family’s stature, especially since their company emphasized its own contribution to the Dubai partnership.

Zhao Xifa seemed unfazed by the emerging project, seeing it as a standard practice. When found near noon, he appeared at the villa with armed guards and vehicles blocking the entrance, forcefully demanding entry.

At that moment, Li Yifei was retrieving something from the car, irked by the ruckus outside. Approaching the gate, he found unfamiliar Huaxia nationals flanked by armed Black guards, their guns visible.

Even among his fellow countrymen, he frowned and asked, "What’s the matter?"
