Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 202 Preliminary Pass

"No good! Your smile isn’t sweet enough!"

"The smile is a bit better, but now your movements are stiff. You can’t disconnect your actions from your expressions."

"Sigh, why are you so clumsy? Relax a little; pretend I’m your boyfriend."

"Oh my god, are you saying that the only way for you to get the right feeling is if I really sleep with you?"

After teaching for a while, Li Yifei was somewhat defeated. Lin Qiong was just too dull in this area; despite the training, her progress was still too slight.

A full half an hour passed before Li Yifei managed to teach the basic actions of holding hands and linking arms. Then he said, "Alright, now you need to get used to me, to my intimacy with you."

Lin Qiong thought that was enough but was surprised to learn there was more, her face immediately filled with bitterness. "What else do I have to do?"

"This time it’s mainly about your reaction when I touch you. First off, when I put my arm around your shoulders."

"No problem." Lin Qiong agreed readily, feeling this task was quite easy.

Li Yifei wrapped his arm around Lin Qiong’s shoulders, and her body tensed for a moment but soon relaxed, especially since her chest had been rubbing against Li Yifei’s arm for quite a while now; this minor contact didn’t bother her much anymore.

"Be mindful of your emotions; when I hold you, you should feel happy." Li Yifei reminded Lin Qiong once more.

Lin Qiong quickly adjusted her mood. She picked it up quite fast this time and soon satisfied Li Yifei.

However, Li Yifei then moved his hand downward, first to Lin Qiong’s lower back and then her waist, gently stroking. This once again became too much for Lin Qiong; especially when Li Yifei’s hand stroked below her waist, nearly reaching her bottom, she almost couldn’t help but lash out and pin Li Yifei down, treating him like a pervert.

But seeing Li Yifei’s serious demeanor and his occasional head shaking and sighing—even sometimes showing an angry look as if frustrated by unfulfilled potential—Lin Qiong held back, accepting the feedback and repeatedly correcting herself humbly.

Li Yifei was secretly thrilled. He had mingled in many social circles over the years and encountered plenty of women, but to be able to take advantage like this—where they were clearly not a couple nor friends with benefits, and yet he could openly gain an advantage—this was only the second time in his life. The first had been with Xu Yingying, but all the contact had been initiated by her, and the extent of it was controlled by her, unlike with Lin Qiong, where he could do as he pleased and take as much advantage as he wanted. If once wasn’t enough, he would make Lin Qiong redo it multiple times.

This kind of delight was truly incomprehensible to outsiders.

It took an entire afternoon before Li Yifei could say that Lin Qiong had practiced these things fairly well. When Li Yifei finally said it was okay, Lin Qiong collapsed onto the couch, smiling wryly. "I feel like this is even harder than catching a bunch of criminals."

"Don’t talk about that; you just made a mistake."

"Oh, I get it. When I’m tired, I should do this, right..." Saying so, Lin Qiong hugged Li Yifei’s arm and laid her head on his shoulder.

"That’s correct, well done," Li Yifei said as his hand rested on Lin Qiong’s thigh, softly stroking.

Lin Qiong didn’t slap Li Yifei’s hand away. She needed to get used to such actions. If she reserved herself now, she wouldn’t be able to get her parents’ one million.

"Hungry?" Li Yifei asked with a smile.

"I am." Lin Qiong’s stomach immediately growled, surprised at how much energy she had expended that afternoon.

"Then let’s go eat. Remember, this is a live exercise for us. If outsiders can easily see through you, then your parents, who know you best, will undoubtedly see right through you as well."

Lin Qiong nodded. "Alright, let’s go out and practice."

They left Lin Qiong’s home, with her arm linked with Li Yifei’s. She thought this gesture, having been practiced countless times at home, should be effortless, but unexpectedly, upon seeing other people, she felt awkward all over and instantly let go of Li Yifei’s arm.

"You see, that won’t do. A real couple only has eyes for each other, they don’t care about anyone else. They wouldn’t mind what people think, even in public, they’d still be affectionate as usual, let alone just linking arms like this."

"I understand. I’ll definitely do it right this time." Lin Qiong had a spirit that refused to be defeated; she had been receiving Li Yifei’s critique all day, and she was holding her breath to get this right.

When they encountered people again, Lin Qiong didn’t let go of Li Yifei’s arm, but her movements and expressions were still a bit stiff. After meeting a few more people, Lin Qiong finally managed to link arms with Li Yifei comfortably.

"Little Lin! This is..." A woman suddenly exclaimed, blocking Lin Qiong and Li Yifei’s path.

Lin Qiong’s heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly let go of Li Yifei’s arm, stammering in a fluster, "Sister Chen, we... we..."

This was a woman in her forties, with a suggestive smile on her face, sizing up Li Yifei from head to toe before saying with a laugh, "Little Lin, so you already have a boyfriend, why haven’t you introduced him to me?"

Just as Lin Qiong was about to deny it, Li Yifei stealthily tugged at her clothes. Startled, she quickly smiled and said, "Sister Chen, this is my boyfriend Li Yifei. Yifei, this is Sister Chen from our sub-bureau. I was assigned to the sub-bureau, and Sister Chen has taken good care of me." As she spoke, she once again hooked her arm around Li Yifei’s.

"Nice to meet you, Sister Chen!" Li Yifei greeted her politely.

"Very good, young man, not bad. Alright, I won’t disturb you two anymore." With a giggle, Sister Chen sashayed away, but before she left, she kept turning back to sneak glances at them, the suggestive smile thick on her face.

"Not bad performance, you remained calm even when running into someone familiar. You could almost pass the test," Li Yifei said, praising her at that moment.

Lin Qiong snorted, but still said proudly, "Of course, if Lin Qiong wants something done, there’s nothing that can’t be done."

Li Yifei chuckled softly, "Compliment you a bit, and you’re over the moon, you really have a thick skin."

"What did you say?" Lin Qiong immediately glared at him.

Li Yifei quickly sighed, "Just like now, you’re not up to it again. We are running out of time. At this moment, you must remember I’m your husband, not just your partner, got it?"

"Got it," Lin Qiong rolled her eyes at Li Yifei, then once more looped her arm through his and cozily rested her head on his shoulder.

The two of them left the complex like this, and even when Lin Qiong saw people she knew, she didn’t let go of Li Yifei. When they reached Li Yifei’s car, Lin Qiong said proudly, "How was that, did I do well?"

"Well done, that should be good enough, I’m going home now, see you tomorrow."

"Hey, am I really okay like this?" Lin Qiong became somewhat anxious again as she saw Li Yifei about to leave.

"It’s fine, you should think about what you’re going to tell your parents tomorrow, or maybe give them a heads-up first. Otherwise, it’s too abrupt for us to visit them tomorrow."

Lin Qiong nodded, "Okay, you also get ready, come over early tomorrow morning."

Only then did Li Yifei leave Lin Qiong and return to his own home. As soon as he stepped through the door, Chu Xiaoyao rushed over, handed him a pair of slippers, and said ingratiatingly, "Uncle, am I being good?"

Li Yifei nodded and smiled, "If you keep behaving like this, it’s not bad."

Chu Xiaoyao raised her head proudly, "Of course, I consulted Sister Yiyi today. You like good girls like Sister Yiyi, so I’ll be good too, so that uncle will like me and let me be your mistress in the future."

Li Yifei looked at Su Yiyi with a stunned expression as a dark line crept across his forehead, while Su Yiyi gave him a helpless, bitter smile, obviously troubled by Chu Xiaoyao’s antics.

Li Yifei didn’t want to argue with Chu Xiaoyao about this issue. She would grow up a bit more, or once she went to college and her life changed, she would naturally shift her attention elsewhere.

"Eh? Uncle, you smell really nice," Chu Xiaoyao suddenly sniffed around Li Yifei like a little dog.

Li Yifei internally broke into a sweat, having spent the better part of the day in an affectionate embrace with Lin Qiong, his body was undoubtedly carrying her scent. However, Lin Qiong didn’t wear any perfume, and he thought he wouldn’t retain any scent, yet Xiaoyao had still picked up on it.

"Ah-ha, Uncle, did you go see some other woman like Little Wang today?" Chu Xiaoyao even excitedly called out at that moment.

Li Yifei suddenly felt a hint of unease. Having Su Yiyi as a girlfriend and being so intimate with Lin Qiong, even if it was to help Lin Qiong with a case, it didn’t seem quite right.

Su Yiyi’s expression stiffened for a moment, but before Li Yifei could explain, she already showed a smile, "Xiaoyao, Brother Li’s boss is a big beauty, and so is the chief supervisor. There are so many women in the company, it’s not a big deal if he gets a bit of their scent on him."

Chu Xiaoyao blinked, looked at Su Yiyi, then at Li Yifei, and gave Li Yifei a thumbs-up, "Uncle, you’re amazing, you’ve really got Sister Yiyi’s trust."

Su Yiyi smiled faintly, "Of course I trust Brother Li. Even if he were to deceive me, I’d believe him. As long as I can be with him in this lifetime, that’s all I need."

"Wow, Sister Yiyi, you’re so admirable, I absolutely adore you. I won’t let uncle leave you, and then can you let me be your mistress?" Chu Xiaoyao hugged Su Yiyi’s arm all of a sudden, starting to act spoilt.

Li Yifei, however, felt a complicated sensation in his heart. With Su Yiyi being so good to him, his sense of guilt towards her grew heavier. But since he had already promised Lin Qiong, he had to carry on with the task.
