Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2205 - 2269: So It Really Is You

"It’s me, hello, Wu Youu!" Li Yifei figured it out and generously extended his hand. Wu Youu smiled with delight and extended her hand too, shaking hands with Li Yifei for a second or two before they let go. Li Ying was craning his neck and gawking from behind, and when they let go, he seemed a bit disappointed, as if saying, silly girl, why not shake a little longer?

Of course, that was just a fleeting thought. After the two met, Li Ying immediately asked, "Boss, have you met my sister before?"

Wu Youu nodded, with a playful expression. Li Yifei pulled over a chair, gesturing for Wu Youu to sit down, and recounted what happened at the hospital entrance. Li Ying suddenly understood and said, "Ah, so that’s what happened. This girl came to see me, bought a bunch of buns, but I’m unable to eat food now. She said not to waste them and noticed an old lady selling insoles at the corner on her way here, so, since it was pretty cold, she gave the buns to the lady since I couldn’t eat them anyway."

That’s what happened, and Li Yifei’s impression of Wu Youu improved even more. It seems it’s not just her brother’s praise.

"Here, for you, Uncle!" Wu Youu pulled out two popsicles as if by magic, handing one to Li Yifei and keeping the other for herself. The popsicles were Capital City’s old-fashioned ones, costing only fifty cents, with a rustic packaging, yet milk-flavored. Li Yifei accepted it, realizing that this girl bought the popsicles intending to give him one, as Li Ying obviously couldn’t eat one.

"Thank you for bringing me one!" Li Yifei said, smiling.

"Ah? That’s not it; I’ve always liked eating two." Wu Youu corrected him.

Huh? Li Yifei had been about to peel off the wrapper and eat the popsicle, but upon hearing that, he paused and looked up at Wu Youu. She playfully winked at him and then opened her mouth wide, taking a bite of the popsicle in her hand, soon showing a look of enjoyment.

Li Yifei instinctively felt like swallowing, realizing this girl was quite easily satisfied, showing such an expression just after a bite of a popsicle.

At that moment, Li Yifei understood she was teasing him. So, he forcefully tore off the wrapper and took a bite himself.

Li Ying on the hospital bed relaxed. He had been about to scold his sister for how she spoke with the former captain, but seeing his sister was teasing, he smacked his lips, perhaps craving the popsicle.

"I also bought two pairs of insoles, but the quality is quite average, probably won’t last long." Eating while she talked, Wu Youu pulled the insoles from her sleeve. The girl didn’t bring a bag when she went out, and since it was cold, she preferred not to carry them, so she simply stuffed them in her sleeve, leaving Li Yifei speechless.

She’s not an ordinary girl, attractive aside; her personality is definitely unique, caring about what most girls don’t and vice-versa.

In short, very different.

"Boss, Wu Youu has our mother’s surname, the family hopes she won’t have any worries, so..."

"Got it!" Li Yifei ate the popsicle in a few bites and was about to get up to toss the stick, when he saw a small hand reach out. He looked up at Wu Youu, her mouth holding the popsicle, making it inconvenient to speak, she nodded her chin, indicating with her eyes that Li Yifei should give her the stick.

"Thank you." Li Yifei said, handing the stick to Wu Youu, who turned and walked a few steps to throw it in the trash can, then returned to continue sitting by the bed, eating her popsicle, her eyes constantly lingering on Li Yifei.

Having been scrutinized numerous times in this life, both in benign and malevolent ways, Li Yifei felt slightly uneasy this time. It wasn’t that he was uncomfortable, just that a young girl was marking ’intentions amiss’ on him, making it difficult for Li Yifei to stay still.

Could it be true what Li Ying said, that his sister truly liked him? Or perhaps felt a strong fondness? Li Yifei pondered. After all, dealing with Wu Shuwei was challenging enough, and if he had to deal with Li Ying’s sister too, it would be quite a headache.

"Uncle, did you catch the bad guy?" Wu Youu asked as Li Yifei was feeling embarrassed without knowing what to say.

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "I’m not sure. I just told your brother that we retired soldiers won’t handle it anymore; the police have taken over."

"Oh!" Wu Youu nodded, finished her popsicle, and got up to toss the stick. Li Yifei happened to be watching her, seeing the whole silhouette from long legs to hips, to the elegant back, indeed beautiful. At home, Lin Qiong and others had good heights, all above 1.7 meters, but this girl was taller, with longer legs, many men of 1.8 or 1.9 meters might not even have legs as long as hers.

Long and not bent, long and not split, that’s true beauty in legs.

Seeing Li Yifei admiring his sister, Li Ying not only wasn’t upset, but felt good about it, as it showed the former captain had an interest in his sister too. As for the fact that Li Yifei had many women, Li Ying felt it wasn’t an issue; moreover, the former captain had just admitted himself that although he had many women, he treated each very well. Regarding his sister, as her brother, he understood her personality, which in modern terms is very rebellious, but not in a reckless way. It’s a rebellion with her own opinions and individuality; she commits to things she believes in, but she doesn’t achieve her goals by any means necessary.

With Li Ying’s clumsy words, it’s hard to describe the girl’s character. Anyway, he thinks it’s not a bad thing for her to like the old captain. If it works out, that’s great, if not, that’s okay too.

Li Yifei never expected that calling his comrades over for a task would lead to such a serendipity. His mouth moved a bit, and then he heard Wu Youu say, "Uncle, how long do you plan to stay in the Capital City?"

"Me? If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll leave tomorrow," Li Yifei said, "But I’ll come back once your brother is discharged from the hospital."

"Boss, no need to come back. You’re busy with so many things, my injury isn’t serious, it will heal quickly!" Li Ying said hurriedly upon hearing that.

Li Yifei said, "When you’re discharged, we’ll call the others and have a good drink together. The gathering wouldn’t be lively without you."

"Haha, that’s possible!" Li Ying was halfway through his laughter, just about to speak when his eyes looked towards the door, and he froze immediately. Li Yifei turned around to see a woman wearing a red woolen coat, with a scarf wrapped around her neck, standing a little over five feet three inches tall, wearing glasses without lenses, looking like a student. She walked in holding some gifts, a bouquet of flowers, and upon seeing Wu Youu, she smiled and nodded at the two, saying, "Hello."

Looking at Li Ying again, his expression immediately became complicated. He glanced at the woman, then at Li Yifei and Wu Youu, and forced a smile, saying, "What brings you here?"

"Sorry, Brother Hawk, I’ve been out of town these past few days. I just got back and rushed over when I heard you were injured!" The woman said while handing the flowers to Wu Youu, who took them and said thank you, placing them on a small table next to the hospital bed. The woman then said, "What exactly happened? I asked the doctor on my way up, but he wouldn’t tell me."

Li Yifei stood up to make way and gestured to the woman to sit down. Although she hadn’t introduced herself yet, from her appearance and attire, Li Yifei could tell she was the woman Li Ying was having issues with, but she seemed quite nice, from her looks to her speech. When she came in, she gave off a feeling of being very communicative, which probably related to her profession.

Of course, Li Yifei wouldn’t look down on someone because of their profession. He politely stepped aside and stood next to Wu Youu.

"I’m fine... um, Yi Yi, thank you. Let me introduce you, this is my old captain, you could say he’s the most amazing soldier!"

"Hello, nice to meet you!" Yi Yi said, nodding to Li Yifei as she stood up.

"Hello," Li Yifei replied, and even before Li Ying could introduce her, Wu Youu extended her hand with a smile, saying, "Hello, sister, I’m Li Ying’s biological sister, my name is Wu Youu, I took my mother’s last name."

"Ah, I’ve heard Brother Hawk mention that he has a particularly beautiful sister, and I didn’t expect to meet her today," Yi Yi said, looking Wu Youu up and down and praising, "You’re really beautiful, definitely the school beauty!"

"Thank you for the compliment, sister!" Wu Youu nodded and said, "Sister, you’re beautiful too."

"Um... you all sit, Youyou, get Brother Liu a chair," Li Ying urged, looking a bit restless, and he would have done it himself if his body allowed.

"I’ll go!" Li Yifei stopped Wu Youu but saw her wink at him, immediately understanding and saying, "I’ll go have a smoke, you guys chat."

"I’ll... I’ll go to the bathroom, Yi Yi, please keep my brother company for a bit," Wu Youu followed up.

"You two..." Li Ying knew exactly what the two were up to. He didn’t expect his old captain to set him up like this, especially after he had just expressed indignation over the woman’s situation... Li Yifei waved as he turned to leave, and Wu Youu waved along, leaving Li Ying to open his mouth and sigh in resignation.

Yi Yi still had a smile on her face. Once Li Yifei and Wu Youu left and closed the door, her expression turned worried. She held Li Ying’s hand, making him flinch, unsure whether to pull away, but it felt uncomfortable staying like that.

Wu Youu stuck her tongue out as she exited the ward, only to quickly close her mouth, looking embarrassed when Li Yifei caught her. Her face held a smile, with a hint of youthful charm in her eyes. Li Yifei chuckled, saying, "Go to the bathroom, I’ll head out for a smoke."

Smoking was not allowed in the hospital, and Li Yifei didn’t really want to smoke. He just didn’t know if he should stay with the other person, so he used it as an excuse.

"I won’t go, it’s not like I have frequent urination. Let’s go downstairs and hang out; the smell of medicine in the hospital is really suffocating," Wu Youu said, stepping downstairs.

Li Yifei ran a hand through his hair and followed her down.
