Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1763 - 1816: A Bit Shy

In the days that followed, the Saintess did indeed undergo some changes, and similarly, Li Yifei also changed. The two got along much more harmoniously.After about a week, Li Yifei could already walk on the ground, though he walked rather slowly, like a patient with sequelae of a stroke, moving inch by inch.

The recovery speed was not slow, Li Yifei thought, as he had just finished his evening exercise, which he did three times a day in the morning, noon, and evening. Li Yifei would support himself with a frame, moving little by little in the room and sometimes going outside for a walk.

Currently, the Saintess was preparing dinner for the two, planning to have steak tonight. During the day, the servants had just delivered a large batch of ingredients, and the Saintess had specifically requested some exquisite steaks to be brought along for dinner.

Not one to be left alone, Li Yifei slowly moved behind the Saintess.

The Saintess turned her head and gave Li Yifei a dazzling smile, beautiful enough to be mesmerizing.

Li Yifei pouted his lips. Without needing further prompting, the Saintess leaned in for a kiss, just a light peck, but Li Yifei was not satisfied.

"Stop it, I’m frying the steak!" The Saintess gently pushed away Li Yifei’s playful face, but Li Yifei moved closer again, saying, "No way, this time we have to kiss. It’s been three hours and five minutes since we last kissed."

With a resigned yet sweet expression, the Saintess felt her heart melt. Li Yifei had even remembered the exact time, although she wasn’t sure if the time was accurate. However, that was around the time Li Yifei had woken up from an afternoon nap, and the timing seemed about right.

Thus, a two-minute kiss ended, and Li Yifei contentedly supported himself with the frame, moving away little by little.

Scenes like this occurred many times every day. Once their hearts were opened, both of them felt much more relaxed and no longer as entangled and concerned about those things as before.

At night, a cool breeze blew into the bedroom. Li Yifei and the Saintess were staying on the top floor tonight, which was designed with a very romantic atmosphere. The adjacent room was built as an astronomical telescope observation platform, whereas this room featured a domed glass ceiling. During the day, pressing a button would bring out a sunshade on the top floor. With the sunshade retracted, the vast sky full of stars could be seen.

The sky was very clear tonight, not a single cloud. The two lay together, wearing only light pajamas; Li Yifei wore only sleep pants, while the Saintess wore a nightgown. The short nightgown couldn’t hide her full, round hips and even exposed a bit. Above, Li Yifei’s eyes moved past the stars and fell below into that deep gorge.

Beside him, the Saintess was pointing at a star field, introducing Li Yifei to some large constellations and distant nebulae.

After a while, the Saintess saw that Li Yifei wasn’t responding, looked down, and found him staring wide-eyed at her chest. Despite having gone through this several times recently, the Saintess still felt a bit... shy.

However, dealing with this rogue, she couldn’t get angry. The Saintess just extended her hand, pushed Li Yifei’s face away, and said, "Are you listening or not? If not, I won’t say anything more."

"Listening, of course, I’m listening. I wasn’t ignoring you. Oh, over there is the Orion Constellation, right?" Li Yifei said with a grin.

The Saintess lightly hummed, stretched out her white fingers, pointed at a star field, and said, "These stars connect together... right, just like that, connect them and see what it looks like."

"Looks like... just say it. Anyway, it’s beautiful!" Li Yifei exclaimed.

The Saintess turned her head to look at him, realizing that Li Yifei’s gaze had landed in an inappropriate place again and finally said, "I’m done talking!"

"Haha!" Li Yifei didn’t mind, laughing while reaching out to embrace the Saintess with both hands, hugging her tightly. The two gazed into each other’s eyes, and Li Yifei couldn’t resist moving in to kiss the Saintess.

With no lights on in the room, the ample moonlight shone on them, casting a hazy glow.

Under the thin quilt, the two silhouettes overlapped, and the quilt rose and fell. Several minutes later, the Saintess pushed Li Yifei away and said in a trembling voice, "You can only kiss, don’t do anything else. Don’t move down there..."

Li Yifei was pushed away and lay down in a good-natured manner, licking his lips and saying, "With my current physical state, even if I wanted to do something, I couldn’t, so rest assured!"

"I wasn’t talking about that... it’s your mouth, don’t kiss just anywhere!"

"I didn’t kiss just anywhere! I kissed where I should!" Li Yifei replied earnestly.

The Saintess didn’t know what to say next, glanced at her nightgown that had been pulled off well over halfway, quietly adjusted the straps up, and said, "Let’s sleep then!"

"Okay!" Li Yifei readily agreed. If they continued, it would be uncomfortable for him. After all, the Saintess had never experienced such things and wasn’t very interested, while Li Yifei couldn’t help it. Without the Witch’s control, Li Yifei’s self-control was at its lowest, feeling as though he could be impulsive at any moment.

Saying they would sleep, Li Yifei still struggled to turn over, reaching out to hold the Saintess.

Regarding this clingy behavior, the Saintess verbally refused but was quite satisfied in her heart. It was no wonder that those novels often depict women liking to be held by men while sleeping; it indeed made sense. The Saintess now felt very comfortable sleeping like this, even though the man next to her would snore thunderously at night. She still felt very secure.

Just like that day when Li Yifei recited a line of poetry that the Saintess recalled, he said, "Where the heart finds peace is my home."

This was truly a place of peace, the Saintess sighed, moving closer to Li Yifei, draped a leg over his, and with such a tempting posture, soon fell into a slumber.

Li Yifei also resisted his impulses and slowly drifted into sleep.

After dawn, Li Yifei received a phone call from home. It was Xu Yingying calling to ask about his condition these days. The family knew he was seriously injured, and with the Saintess there to take care of him, although they were worried, they didn’t say much.

Xu Yingying called to tell Li Yifei that some issues had arisen in the Middle East, and the Li family needed to send someone there. This matter was originally Li Yifei’s responsibility, as he knew Prince Sashar and Wu Shuwei, and had some influence in the Middle East, but with his current physical state, he couldn’t go.

"So who will go?" Li Yifei thought for a moment and said, "You can have Shanshan accompany whoever goes. The Middle East is not very safe. Shanshan is skilled and has participated as a mercenary, familiar with firearms, making her more suitable than security personnel!"

"Mengxin and I can’t go. This time, Sister Fangqing will go. Husband, if you want Shanshan to go, you should talk to her yourself. This kid won’t listen to me now!" Xu Yingying said.
