Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1943 - 2006: The Boldest Move

When the boat reached Dubai, the three got off, and a car came to pick them up. Wu Shuwei was also familiar with Dubai and found out they would be staying at Sarama’s house this time. She didn’t say much as she also knew Sarama.

When they got home, the women were of course very happy to see Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan return safe and sound. Seeing Wu Shuwei made a few women a bit puzzled, and Sarama straightforwardly asked about it. Wu Shuwei glanced at Li Yifei, who said, "I happened to meet her. She was playing a cross-dressing game with friends, but she didn’t want to play anymore, so she came back with me."

"Oh, oh, welcome, Wu. You haven’t eaten, have you? I’ll get someone to prepare some food for you." Sarama took up the host’s role, expressing her welcome.

Li Yifei said, "Make plenty. We didn’t eat well these past few days!"

"Yes, sir!" Sarama jokingly saluted, kicked her boot with a snap, and turned to run to the kitchen.

Wu Shuwei’s attention was on Su Lio at the moment. It was their first meeting, and Wu Shuwei was curious about Su Lio’s skin. It was so white, tender, and smooth, as if she were a porcelain doll, but her condition didn’t seem good, looking sickly.

Li Yifei walked over, directly reached out, and held her hand. Her hand was icy cold, and considering the day, it was already the day the cold burst out, and it was already evening. At this moment, Su Lio’s body was in pain, being eroded by the cold. If it wasn’t for Li Yifei’s timely nurturing these days, she might have collapsed with today’s cold outburst.

Understanding her pain, Li Yifei felt a little guilty and said softly, "Sorry, I came back a bit late."

Su Lio pursed her lips, smiled slightly, shook her head gently, and said, "Not late, I’m alright."

"Let’s go upstairs first. Let’s treat you first!" Li Yifei said, holding Su Lio’s hand. She wanted to persist, saying, "You all eat first. It’s been hard these days outside. I’m not in a rush. It’s fine to eat before treatment."

"Be good, let’s go upstairs first. I’m not hungry, and the meal can wait!" Li Yifei said, gently exerting force to lead Su Lio upstairs.

Su Lio pursed her lips. Before meeting Li Yifei and others, she actually had a very indifferent view of life and death, knowing she might die at any moment, maybe even the next second. But after these days, having interacted with the women of the Li family, and Li Yifei, even following him to Dubai, she was happy every day, so Su Lio didn’t want to die so much. Although it wasn’t primarily her subjective intention, she still didn’t want to die. Today was the day the cold burst out, and from yesterday, Su Lio felt unwell. Yet, as Li Yifei was on a mission, his life was uncertain. For the first time in her life, she had a kind of longing, hoping he would come back safely and soon.

This idea even startled her, but Su Lio told herself it was just a thought, nothing more.

After the two went upstairs, Wu Shuwei curiously asked about Su Lio’s situation, learned of her relationship with Li Yifei, and knew about Su Lio’s illness. Wu Shuwei secretly clicked her tongue, never imagining that fate would treat such a lovely girl so harshly.

The dishes were served, but they didn’t eat, waiting for Li Yifei and Su Lio to come downstairs. The treatment process went smoothly as Li Yifei was very skilled now, and Su Lio wasn’t as reserved as she was initially. She cooperated well with Li Yifei’s treatment, wearing less in front of him, and didn’t feel so embarrassed.

The cold was suppressed, and Su Lio’s body felt comfortable. She went downstairs with Li Yifei, her cheeks even had a hint of blush.

"You start eating, don’t wait for me." Seeing that the women hadn’t eaten and were waiting for him when he came downstairs, Li Yifei said a bit embarrassed.

The women said, "It’s fine. We’re not very hungry either, but now that you’re done, come and eat quickly."

Li Yifei sat in the middle, surrounded by beauties. Wu Shuwei usually felt that she was pretty enough, but surrounded by four equally beautiful women, she felt she lost her advantage. For the first time, Wu Shuwei seriously pondered where her strengths lay. Previously, she would self-reflect but never on this aspect. This time, Wu Shuwei was contemplating what strengths she had that could let her...

Oh no, she shouldn’t think about it anymore. Wu Shuwei shook her head vigorously.

At the dining table, everyone stopped to look at her and asked, "Sister Wu, what’s wrong?"

"Ah?" Wu Shuwei heard the voice, quickly raised her head, saw everyone looking at her, and her face instantly flushed. They didn’t know what was wrong with her, but Wu Shuwei did. She’d been daydreaming, and they caught her. She quickly shook her head, saying, "No, it’s nothing."

"Did the past two days tire you out? We have a great doctor at home. Let him take a look at you." Xu Shanshan said, pointing at Li Yifei, who was drinking soup.

Ahem, Li Yifei didn’t swallow the soup properly and choked, coughing a few times, while Su Lio handed him a tissue.

"Thank you, I’m fine." Li Yifei took the tissue, wiped his mouth, and Wu Shuwei on the other end said as well, "Thank you, I’m fine, just a bit tired."

"Then rest early, I’ve prepared your room for you. I’ll take you up after dinner," Sarama chimed in.

Li Yifei glared at Xu Shanshan, this girl was not afraid of stirring trouble, still trying to matchmake him and Wu Shuwei. Didn’t she see how many women were already at home? How dare she mix more into the fold? Even though they cared deeply and were very kind to Su Lio, if another woman were to enter the house, the ladies likely wouldn’t be as accommodating.

However, given their different personalities, they might not outright oppose it. The more gentle ones might advise him to watch his health. Even though he was an Innate Expert, overexertion wasn’t good either. Someone like Lin Qiong might just directly confront him, stating that there were already too many women at home.

Considering all this, Li Yifei was cautious not to engage in random chats.

Focus, focus. Feeling a bit better, Li Yifei took a big sip of soup.

Once everyone had their fill, Sarama led Wu Shuwei upstairs, while Li Yifei chatted with a few women, also took the chance to check in with his family. The few night owls who were still awake chatted enthusiastically with Li Yifei.

The matters here were temporarily settled; everything that needed to be taken care of was done. He could finally go home. Li Yifei’s favorite place was still home. All in all, he was still a homebody. Comfortably staying at home, he could remain for a long time.

Thinking of this, Li Yifei took a deep breath, leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, looking every bit like a relaxed old man.

Su Lio seldom stayed away from home this long and wanted to go back too. Every day, she would call her grandfather to ask about his health. Recently, Elder Su’s health had been good. Though old injuries persisted, without the weekly need to suppress the cold for Su Lio, his health gradually improved. In his words, he could still live a few more years.

Everything was fine; no one had anything they were worried about.

The next day, Li Yifei and the women decided to return to their country, while Wu Shuwei parted ways with them. Li Yifei’s flight was direct to Ning Province, whereas Wu Shuwei was headed to the Capital City.

Since they weren’t traveling the same route, they decided not to go together. Wu Shuwei thought to herself, she actually felt reluctant. All her life, she thought she’d never fall for any man, so she wouldn’t marry, but unexpectedly, she met Li Yifei, this jinx. This person had repeatedly saved her from difficulties, and in the process, had unlocked her long-sealed heart.

Li Yifei first took her to the airport, with just the two of them in the car. Once seeing Wu Shuwei off, Li Yifei would then meet the women at the private airport.

On the way, Wu Shuwei remained silent. Li Yifei glanced at her a few times, but seeing her say nothing, he remained quiet too. Upon reaching the airport, after getting her ticket, and with almost time to go, Li Yifei walked her in. Just as she was about to leave, Wu Shuwei suddenly turned around, her eyes a bit red.

Li Yifei pursed his lips, smiling, saying, "Why are you tearing up?"

"You scoundrel, you big wolf!" Wu Shuwei dropped her suitcase, strode over, and plunged into his arms. This seemed to be the first time since they’d known each other that Wu Shuwei threw herself into his embrace willingly and sincerely desired it.

Holding Li Yifei tightly, Li Yifei also felt Wu Shuwei’s softness and elasticity. After thinking about it, he embraced her back, gently patting her back, saying, "Alright, once back in the country, if you miss me, visit Mile City. It’s not far, there’s plenty of places to stay, and it’s lively with all the family there."

Hearing this, Wu Shuwei’s body trembled. She stepped back from Li Yifei’s embrace, wiped her tears, her eyes carried a hint of grievance, saying, "You really know how to ruin a moment. I didn’t even say anything about wanting to be with you, yet you bring up the women at home...really!"

"Er?" Li Yifei pretended not to understand, showing a confused look.

The boarding call sounded behind them. Wu Shuwei, gritting her teeth, did the boldest thing in her life—she grabbed Li Yifei’s clothes, lifted herself on tiptoe, and brought her head close.

With a smack, a light kiss. It wasn’t on Li Yifei’s cheek, but directly on his lips. Li Yifei was completely stunned. This was...Wu Shuwei initiating a kiss with him, on the lips? No way, the supposed non-marriage advocate actually harbored feelings for him?

Wait, this was her first kiss and just like that, it was so hastily spent? In that quarter of a second, Li Yifei’s mind was spinning. As Wu Shuwei finished her kiss and prepared to run away, Li Yifei clasped her forcefully with both hands, pressing his lips to hers, his tongue parting her lips. Such a rushed end to what was supposed to be a proper first kiss simply wouldn’t do. Li Yifei wanted to give her a beautiful memory.

Two minutes later, Li Yifei released the weak Wu Shuwei, seeing her watery eyes. He reached out to wipe the corners of her lips, grinning a sunny, warm, and charming smile. Wu Shuwei let out a low hum, glared at Li Yifei, turned around, picked up her luggage, and left.
