Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1939 - 2002: Li the Superman

Li Yifei found the things Hu Anba got from Huaxia. Although he still didn’t know what exactly was inside, it was already quite good. Anyone else wouldn’t have had Li Yifei’s efficiency.

He found a backpack, put the box inside, slung it over his back, and looked again at Wu Shuwei. He couldn’t just ignore this woman. If she were a stranger, it wouldn’t matter, but she wasn’t. Even though they weren’t connected, they were friends, after all. She courted death well, but having seen her, Li Yifei had to take responsibility.

Li Yifei walked over, untied Wu Shuwei’s bindings, cut the rope, allowing her to move her body, and then gestured for her to follow him.

Wu Shuwei had bruises on her wrists, ankles, and even her thighs. They weren’t painful, but very uncomfortable. She originally wanted to rest a bit, but as Li Yifei walked, she had to follow, and she couldn’t even complain. Here, not only had someone died, but there was also a bunch of bodyguards and thugs outside. Although they’d been knocked out by this bearded man, waking up later would be a big problem.

Wu Shuwei hurriedly caught up with Li Yifei, dodged the staggering bodyguards, and caught up with him, but only after a few steps, she stumbled and fell to the ground. Li Yifei turned back to look at her, saw her disheveled on the ground, and knew immediately what had happened.

"I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. I wanted to catch up with you, but my heel broke. I’m sorry. Why don’t you go ahead? I can leave by myself." Wu Shuwei was almost in tears. She was a very confident person, but in the Middle East, she had been continuously unlucky—either kidnapped or threatened, or people trying to assault her. In this foreign land, she faced countless dangers and really didn’t know how to cope.

She had just wanted to catch up with this lifesaver, yet she tripped. Could things get any worse? Wu Shuwei thought.

Li Yifei shook his head, went back, squatted down, grasped Wu Shuwei’s ankle. She yelped in pain, so he stopped moving, then stretched his hands under her knees and back, and used a little force to lift her up.

Wu Shuwei was a non-marriage advocate; she thought marriage was unreliable but wasn’t opposed to being around men. Particularly days spent with Li Yifei months ago had changed her mind slightly, thinking maybe having a boyfriend wasn’t bad. But after parting ways with Li Yifei, time made her uninterested in other men, and that notion slowly faded, only surfacing occasionally at night.

Essentially, she still showed rejection towards men, refused intimate contact, and at most would shake hands, afterward having to wash her hands. Yet now, being held by a big-bearded man, Wu Shuwei forgot to struggle. Her head lay on his chest, heart area, as if all was natural. Not only did she forget to push him away, but her ear also even leaned in to listen to his strong heartbeat.

But... why did his scent feel so familiar, so pleasant, giving a slightly intoxicating feeling? Wu Shuwei didn’t push Li Yifei away. Her body seemed soft, inhaling this special body scent. She even forgot her bodily pain and felt a bit tired, so she closed her eyes. This way, she wouldn’t see his appearance and could dodge some embarrassment.

Of course, the most important thing was, deep inside, she didn’t really want to avoid him.

Li Yifei carried her down the stairs. Seeing Wu Shuwei like this, he twitched the corner of his mouth. This woman wasn’t shy at all. Wasn’t she a non-marriage advocate? Shouldn’t she reject men? This behavior didn’t quite match that persona.

Thinking of this, Li Yifei felt a bit uncomfortable thinking maybe this woman had been pretending all along... making him feel deceived and uncomfortable, even thinking of letting her walk by herself.

However, Li Yifei ultimately didn’t do so. Instead, he carried her to the doorway, chose an off-road vehicle, opened the door, and placed her inside.

Wu Shuwei opened her eyes, gazing gently at Li Yifei, and said, "I’m sorry, just now... your scent is too much like a friend’s of mine, so I was a bit confused. Thank you very much for your help. My name is Wu Shuwei, I’m a Huaxia person. What’s your name?"

This explanation made Li Yifei feel much better. Oh, she thought I was someone else, that’s why she behaved that way. Li Yifei’s expression softened, and he relaxed his mouth. With the intent of teasing her further, he responded in English, "Hello, does your friend also have such a strong masculine scent?"

"No, no, it’s not a sweat smell. It’s a masculine scent, very pleasant. Oh, I didn’t mean that. I mean, you and my friend are both real men. The scent and demeanor are similar. My friend, like you, is a big hero." Wu Shuwei shook her head as she spoke, ultimately praising Li Yifei, which he quite enjoyed. He grinned and asked, "Is he your boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend?" Wu Shuwei repeated, then shook her head, saying, "No, he’s not my boyfriend. But he, like you, has saved me many times. I don’t know why I’ve been so unlucky lately, encountering dangerous situations frequently. This time, I just came to Iran to relax with a few friends, walking down the street, and they didn’t kidnap anyone else, just targeted me..."

"Heh, dressing like that here is challenging every man. They have a reason to do anything to you, without breaking the law."

"I... also know, but my friend said it’s okay. Sigh, I was foolish to believe them. No, I won’t come to places like this again. It’s too dangerous. Thanks to you this time, otherwise, I would..."

"I wonder, don’t you know the social order and certain precautions of Arab countries? Should you rely on your friends for this kind of thing? Even in the progressive UAE, in Dubai, your dress might cause trouble!" Li Yifei said.

Wu Shuwei pursed her lips. Of course, she knew, so she quietly said, "I was momentarily confused."

"Forget it. I’m too lazy to tell you. Where’s your friend? I can take you to them, but just to drop you off. I have things to do."

"My friend?" Wu Shuwei immediately recalled the reaction of those so-called friends when she was captured, which made her heart turn cold. She looked at Li Yifei with a complicated expression and said softly, "May I go with you? At least, if you’re going back to the capital, can you take me with you? I don’t really want to go with them anymore. They’re a bit too much."

"I’m not going to the capital." If it weren’t for Wu Shuwei praising him earlier, Li Yifei’s attitude would have been worse.

Wu Shuwei bit her lip. Being a woman, having just experienced that, she was out of ideas and could only look at Li Yifei with expectation.

Li Yifei couldn’t hold back any longer and switched to Chinese, saying, "Are you really planning to cling to me?"

Hmm? Wu Shuwei’s eyes instantly widened in shock, staring at Li Yifei’s dark eyes, ensuring she hadn’t misheard. He truly spoke Chinese, and it was pure Chinese without dialects or awkward accents.

Meaning, he spoke Chinese? Wu Shuwei then found his voice very familiar, extremely familiar. She had that feeling when he spoke English, when he spoke Iranian, and now even more so when he spoke Chinese.

He... Wu Shuwei’s body trembled slightly. Meeting a kind person in a foreign land was already exciting. If this person was a compatriot, it was even more joyous.

Li Yifei drove, glancing at her from the corner of his eye. Wu Shuwei turned her whole body around, staring at Li Yifei, wishing to reach out and touch his face. Wu Shuwei recalled that voice, and the more she thought about it, the more familiar it became. Now looking at the person who saved her...

For tens of seconds, maybe even a minute or two, suddenly Wu Shuwei exclaimed. She grabbed Li Yifei and said, "It...is it really you?"

"What reaction speed..." Li Yifei couldn’t help but pout.

After Li Yifei confirmed, Wu Shuwei immediately pounced, jumping into his arms, extremely excited, holding him tight, and said with a tearful voice, "It really is you, wuwuwu, you bad person, you’ve saved me again, wuwuwu!"

But by the end, it turned into, "Why is it always you saving me!"

Li Yifei didn’t push her away, knowing that letting Wu Shuwei cry at this time was good. After she cried for a while, Li Yifei said, "Isn’t it good that I saved you? Does it have to be someone else?"

Wu Shuwei wiped her face with his clothes, leaving snot behind, then hurriedly found something to wipe it off before saying, "No, it’s great that it’s you. I was just... so surprised. Why is it always you saving me? Every time I’m in danger, it’s always you who appears and saves me. Wuwuwu, I can’t take it, I’m going crazy."

Li Yifei rolled his eyes without responding. Wu Shuwei realized her words were problematic but was too excited at that moment. That feeling was indescribable. When Hu Anba kidnapped her, she really thought it would be great if Li Yifei were there. He would definitely appear and save her. But she was in Iran, and Li Yifei wasn’t a superhero, how could he arrive immediately?

Now, knowing the bearded one was Li Yifei, Wu Shuwei directly recognized him as Superman, specifically her savior Superman. Otherwise, how could she explain his presence here, rescuing her just in time?
