IDYTRAA - Chapter 208

Chapter 208 Defending the country


He’s so cute when he pounds on the table, roaring and yelling. How spirited! Tian Yuan's eyes were especially bright when he was angry, making Pan Lei want to kiss him.

"Baby, I want to kiss you."

Tian Yuan was in the middle of cursing him as an a$$hole, an a$$hole who misled children.

He paused for three seconds after Pan Lei abruptly said such a sentence.

"Then you return early. You can kiss me however you want when you get home."

Pan Lei was immediately interested.

"Kissing you from head to toe as I strip you nude, back to front, without missing an inch?"

Tian Yuan blushed as he remembered their passionate entanglement, entwined limbs, and chests clinging together as he was hugged and kissed every night Pan Lei was at home.

"Mn."

"Ge misses you like crazy, baby. Ge loves you so much."

Pan Lei changed his booming voice and spoke sweet nothings to the phone. At this point, the small light bulb[1] or whoever, could simply f*ck off.

The little boy felt that adults were really boring. With simply a phone call, this big guy could change his expression. Wasn't he a vicious bandit moments ago? How come he was tender and sweet now? The little guy couldn’t stand it anymore.

He ran around catching grasshoppers and bugs and then went off to play by himself.

"Tian'er, baby, how many relatives did you and mom put down on the list?"

Tian Yuan was troubled about this. His mother-in-law intended to invite all of his relatives. Pan Lei was in charge of booking plane tickets and hotel arrangements. It had to be a large event because it was a Pan family wedding. So what if it wasn't a traditional wedding between a man and a woman? The Pans were open-minded, and their son was getting married, which was a joyous occasion. There were so many relatives and friends, as well as comrades in arms and former subordinates, all of whom would be invited to the wedding. The Pans' idea was to be open and aboveboard.

There’s nothing to hide. On the contrary, we want everyone to see that my son has met a good man, and that we, this old couple, have qualified successors. This is a large joyous event that everyone should participate in.

That's how his mother-in-law consoled Tian Yuan, telling him to invite all his uncles and aunts and their families. The more, the merrier. Mama Dang Hong also wished Pan Zhan to make the Pan family's joyous event the front page headline in the press.

Her son wanted to get married, so it would be a big event. The larger the setting, the better.

It wasn’t easy, you know. The bandit-like Pan Lei was actually getting married. It was really not easy.

In comparison to the Pan family's open democracy, the Tian family was less tolerant. Father Tian and Mother Tian were both taken aback when Tian Yuan called them. They had no idea their sons would desire to get married. It was enough for them to be together. Why did they feel the need to show off?

"Don't be upset, elder sister. It's wonderful that they're getting married. When people see Tian Yuan, they will recognize him as Pan Lei's family. Similarly, when people see Pan Lei, they will know he is Dr. Tian's family. There will be no more relatives and the like who will tell them they are so old but yet unmarried and will introduce them to a partner. Isn't that causing them both problems? Please accept. Please bring your whole family and let them attend. We'll be prepared. Everything will be carefully organized."

Mama Dang Hong persuaded the Tian couple like this, and they agreed. Tian Yuan worriedly examined the list of his relatives.

"Mom’s right. Anyway, it is an old etiquette that families must meet, so it must be followed. We'll have my uncles drink with your uncles to get to know each other when the time comes. I'll toast them as well. Simply follow my mother's instructions and list whatever relative she tells you to write. By the way, tell mom that all of the soldiers and instructors from my commando unit will be there, so set up a few tables for them."

He’d better listen to Pan Lei about this, right? In fact, there was really no need to make such a big deal out of it. It would’ve been fine if the two families had gathered for dinner. They would’ve gone to Canada quietly, obtained a marriage certificate, and handed themselves over to the other party for the rest of their lives.

Could it be that prominent families, such as the Pans, thought differently?

"Please just do as I say. All you need to do is to study hard, work hard, and complete the course credits as soon as possible. But don't stay up late; don't abuse your body. Then go and get wedding suits for both of us. I think you should prepare some extra clothes in case they play tricks on us. The situation will be chaotic if they throw eggs or spray Coke on us, and our clothes will be ruined. When I return, I'll take care of things like getting the house painted and so on. Make a list for mom, and your goal will be completed. You simply have to wait until I get home."

Tian Yuan made a sincere promise. It was preferable to let the Pans have fun with this kind of thing. To him, it was all Greek. Lin Mu had begun to press him to buy candy, claiming that he would enjoy their wedding candy in advance.

Pan Lei went on rambling. In his opinion, others could assist with wedding preparations and so on. What Tian Yuan needed to do was take care of himself. He kept urging Tian Yuan, like a broken record, not to eat cold food[2], miss meals, drink unboiled[3] water, or kick the quilt.

In the end, Tian Yuan’s only response was, "yeah, yeah, got it, okay, okay, I promise you." Tian Yuan jokingly called him the neighborhood committee auntie, but Pan Lei refused to admit it. He should really consider a career change.

Who else elaborates on a series of mundane topics like this? Normally, everyone was perfunctory.

This sickly-sweet phone call lasted over an hour. It would most certainly continue if it weren't for someone looking for Tian Yuan. Pan Lei stretched his waist, satisfied that his family's hubby was still steady and calmly waiting for him to return home.

The correspondent greeted Pan Lei with a tense expression on his face as he escorted the little kid back to the encampment leisurely.

"Team Leader Pan, we have a situation."

Pan Lei frowned.

"Our spy arrived and informed us that the robbers would be raiding tonight. A border SWAT unit conducted a siege a few days ago, but the robbers fled. Recently, the gangs on the Myanmar border united for the first time to clear the village and then open up a drug trafficking route from here. They have a large number of people."

"I was worried that those sonsabi!ches wouldn't show up. Gather everyone and arrange strategic deployment."

Pan Lei started issuing orders. Let them come. It was so nice of them to take the initiative to attack.

It was wonderful that all arrangements could be moved to an earlier date. After winning this war, they would assist these regular people in settling down, train them in self-defense, and then turn over the operation to the local border police. They could then return.

Three months was too long. It would be good to return even a day sooner. He had family and a wedding waiting for him back home.

After this mission, he planned to take a one-month marriage leave of absence to properly cherish his Tian'er at home, hug his dog son, and accompany their parents to Canada to obtain the marriage certificate.

Pan Lei was unconcerned about the approaching robbers. He was more concerned that they might become tortoises[4], withdrawing their heads and hiding in their shells, never coming out.

He had taken 20 commandos with him, all of whom he had trained. They were all incredibly talented. Even if the robbers were in the top ten, they couldn't compete with the commandos.

Pan Lei spread out the area map and everyone gathered around.

"We will fight a tough battle tonight and then prevail. When we return, you will all come to drink at my wedding banquet. Tonight, the twenty of you will be divided into four groups. We must not be negligent because the enemy has numbers on their side. We set a trap in the shape of a pocket, as I suggested. They're numerous; if they outflank us, we'll bide our time. After they come in, we’ll adopt a turkey shoot to cut off their escape route before launching an assault jointly. Strike their vanguard, attack their middle, and cut off their escape route.

Each trail contains explosives deployed by the blasting squad. Explosives similar to those used to blow up Japs have been placed on every road; the kind that can detonate five or six explosive packets with a single pull. It's best to bide our time and let the enemy in; it'd be ideal if they all came in. Detonate the explosives as soon as nearly all of them arrive. Catch them off guard and cut off their retreat path first.

The sniper team will lie in wait in the middle. Once the blasting team starts fighting, the sniper team will attack from the middle. Keep in mind to stay hidden and hit them in such a way that they can’t figure out where we are or how many people we have. Shoot them through the head. The more headshots there are, the better.

The third group will follow me. I'll lead an attack from near the stockade, taking them head-on. The three groups will work together, taking care of each other.

The fourth group will be in charge of ensuring civilian safety. Ask that they retire to the cave in the rear mountain and not come out. The local government will compensate for all damages. Tell them not to worry or be afraid. There is a government that will keep them alive."

Pan Lei’s gaze passed over each soldier.

"It used to be on a small scale, but now it's a full-fledged conflict. Let them witness our special forces' valor in battle. I've trained you all. You are the tiger pack descending the mountain. Tear up at those useless ba$tards."

They were a group of commandos who could execute impossible missions in dangerous situations with minimal casualties. They had all been raised with bullets. They were all magical weapons that had been trained dozens of times more than ordinary people. Now was the time to be unsheathed and go all out.

"A thousand deaths will not deter me from defending my country!"

The team yelled this slogan. They took up their weapons and fought whenever they were needed.

"This war can only end in victory. Failure is not an option. Follow the plan, act, and finish all deployments before it becomes dark!"

Pan Lei liked these soldiers. His subordinates, like him, were all fierce men willing to give everything, including their lives, to safeguard the country. They were undaunted by danger.

The villagers began to evacuate, and everyone began to follow the plan. All medicines and medical equipment were prepared, as were light and heavy weapons. Needless to say, the special troop had first-class equipment. The latest domestic sniper rifles, German-made GR9C machine guns, and the M4 assault rifles used by the Navy SEALs. The team had them all, not to mention hand grenades and portable rocket thrusters.

Pan Lei couldn't believe they couldn't kill those filthy Burmese devils with the commandos' equipment. You will be destroyed if you dare to come over. We'll annihilate every last one of you. It makes no difference if you are a robbers' alliance or a terrorist organization.

Come give it a shot if you're not frightened of dying.

Everything went rapidly, and the villagers were also transported quickly. They even had to drag cows inside the cave because it was all the property the families had.

There weren’t many people in this stockaded village in the first place. The village was devoid of life now that the people had been evacuated.

Everyone got into position. Pan Lei linked the signals of the other two teams, which had all been pre-arranged.

Pan Lei sent Tian Yuan a text message before turning off the phone.

Plan ahead, baby. I might come back sooner. Wait for me. We’ll marry when I return. I love you.

He kissed the screen of his phone, which had his baby’s smiling face on it.

He turned off the phone.

IDYTRAA - Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Pan Lei leads a child astray


Want to go back? It's not gonna be easy. Given the current state of affairs, it would take at least three months.

Pan Lei just needed two days to set up camp. There were hidden sentries within five miles and surveillance cameras within ten miles of the stockaded village arranged in these two days. The border was barely twenty miles away, and it was an area of rugged mountains and impenetrable forests, so defense had to be strict.

Pan Lei brought men with him to clean up the cave in the rear mountain, which would be used as an air-raid shelter. If there was a real fight, bullets don’t have eyes and may injure civilians, which had to be avoided at all costs.

Myanmar's situation had been tense in recent years. Every year, artillery bombardment occurred, the Myanmar authorities officially apologized, and some people crossed the border illegally. Many Myanmar citizens were fed up with the country's poverty and backwardness and decided to flee to China. The Chinese government also set up temporary shelters and deported some people back to Myanmar. Because there were so many people coming over, the effect was minimal.

Bandits are created in this manner. They believe it is simply a means of making money, but it is not legal. The drug trade had to be cleaned up at home.

They couldn’t allow any drug channel to form.

Some of the special forces brought in were legal experts. The commandos were all talented in any case. Simply calling out any commando's name at random guaranteed that they were a talent. They were subjected to rigorous training, including classes in international law.

Pan Lei organized for personnel to promote the law among the community, with an interpreter on hand to explain matters. These locals were also honest and generous. When the reality became clear, they all acknowledged it.

Pan Lei and his men resided on the fringes of the fortified village. They were self-sufficient and did not disturb civilians. They would cook on their own after the military supplies were delivered. They strictly followed the Eight Great Disciplines, not taking a grain of rice from the common people or taking advantage of them in any way.

The sentry patrolled around the clock. They could only patrol on foot because there was no vehicle. The signal was poor. They needed to find at least one high ground to make a call.

When the military supplies arrived, they included a large bag of candy. Pan Lei, who had a cold face while smoking a cigarette, grabbed a handful of candies and handed it to a child.

"For you."

The child looked at the candies, then at Pan Lei, who was frowning and smoking a cigarette, burst into tears, and fled in terror.

Pan Lei extinguished his cigarette under his heel.

"Damn it! Laozi will never raise a child! They’re too f*cking hard to serve. They’re not even as good as my hubby’s fingernail. No wonder some people say that children are alien lifeforms, the scariest things!"

The interpreter quickly grabbed the sweets and rushed to coax the child.

In fact, it’s not the child’s fault. Why don't you look in the mirror, Pan Lei? You're wearing combat boots, smoking a cigarette, carrying a gun, and your face is covered in dark brown and green camo paint. Based on that frowning and gloomy face of yours, those in the know will recognize you as the commander of the special forces squad. Those who don’t will suspect you of being a human trafficker. That height, that scary appearance… how could the bright yet timid child not cry?

Tian Yuan likes me like this. He likes it so much that he fondles me admiringly. But Pan Lei, if you test it on someone else, they will be scared away.

Speaking of my family’s baby… Pan Lei took out his phone and discovered that there was no reception at all.

F*ck! I miss my baby. I need to find a high point to look for a signal. The current situation was worse than it had been while Tian Yuan was overseas.

This was a genuine 'mobile' phone call. Pan Lei held the phone high, moving it to the left and right in an attempt to pick up the signal. He took a step back and nearly tripped over someone. When he turned around, he saw a boy standing behind him. He was staring at him with big black eyes.

"What are you doing following me?"

Weren't these terrifying creatures scared of him? Didn't he just scare a kid into crying? Why was this small brat following him so fearlessly? Pan Lei's voice was harsh. His attentiveness and patience had all been given to Tian Yuan, and there was nothing left. You couldn't get him to be patient even as a child.

Pan Lei inquired impatiently, his tone unpleasant and annoyed.

"Candy, I want candy."

Whoa, this little brat has a lot of guts to eat.

"You bring me to the back mountain, and I'll give you candy."

The little boy gazed at Pan Lei and began walking in front of him. Pan Lei gave a devilish grin. Hurt your body for the sake of your mouth, and revere your father-in-law for the sake of your wife[1]. This was an excellent argument. For candy, this little brat wasn't scared of him.

Pan Lei was led to the back mountain by the child. It was labeled as the back mountain, but it was basically just a modest soil slope. A large mountain with pristine forest stood behind the soil slope.

Pan Lei took out his mobile phone and saw a full signal bar. Nice! This is a good place. He phoned Tian Yuan right away.

"Is my baby there? Call my baby and say his lover is looking for him."

Pan Lei and Tian Yuan were laughing and exchanging jokes. Tian Yuan had just taken a break when he received Pan Lei’s call. He was overjoyed.

"Your family’s baby is wondering what you’re busy with these days, you ba$tard."

"You know I can't disclose anything. Ge misses you so much, baby. You have no idea how difficult these last few days have been for me. I had to walk about ten minutes to find a location where I could make a phone call. I really want to go home and wrap my arms around my baby and sleep peacefully. Have you been busy, honey? Did Mom bring you dinner?"

"It's business as usual."

The child on the side started tugging on Pan Lei's jacket. Pan Lei would immediately forget everything else once he called his baby. He wouldn’t care even if a bullet came at him. He was completely absorbed in his conversation with his beloved. He stretched out and pushed the boy away when he tugged on his jacket.

The child staggered but continued to pull on Pan Lei, unyielding.

"If you make any more noise, I'll throw you up on the mountain to feed the wolves!"

Pan Lei yelled at the child while covering the phone's microphone.

The child gawked at him blankly, neither crying nor making a fuss.

"What are you doing? Who are you tossing up the mountain? How can you say that! Are you exploding at your subordinates again? They're your comrades in arms, so can't you keep your cool a little?"

He was always cursing at others in a loud voice. Could he not be a little milder? A dutiful son is not always found under the stick. There would be rebellion if the high-handed policy was too severe.

"It’s nothing. By the way, where's our son, dear?"

"He's dozing off at my feet. Today, Lin Mu gave him a chicken leg. This little rascal fell in love with Lin Mu and followed him around all the time."

Tian Yuan remarked as he stroked Jindouer's fur. There was now one more topic the couple discussed. Their phone calls used to be rambling and endless, but now they talked a lot about Jindou’er. Because they couldn't call each other whenever and wherever they wanted like previously, and they couldn't video chat like before, the call time was extremely long. Pan Lei now had a long-life battery, and he would hang up only when the phone became too hot.

The little boy suddenly screamed into Pan Lei's ear.

"I will toss you up the mountain to feed the wolves, you son[2]!"

Pan Lei smirked as he bared his teeth. He was lucky he was still a child, since Pan Lei would have really booted him down the hill. You need a spanking, you little ba$tard.

"Get lost, you little gangster!"

"Give me candy!"

Tian Yuan believed he had finally grasped what was going on. There was a young foodie at Pan Lei’s side, and Pan Lei, this mature a$$hole, was arguing with a kid.

"Pan Lei, can you have some shame? What are you quarreling with a child for? I believe the two of us should never adopt a child. If our family has a child, I think you will beat it up and toss it out on the street. There's no way to provide him/her with a happy childhood. You have such a bad temper! Quick now. Coax him and give him some candy. Don't yell at him again."

Tian Yuan was at a loss for words when it came to Pan Lei. He was loud, drank, and kicked up a racket with his men like rogue bandits all day. He was now causing trouble with a child. Why was a big guy like him getting into an argument with a kid? They were clearly unsuitable for adopting children. They were doomed to disappoint Mama Dang Hong. It wasn't so much that they didn't want to adopt a child as their temperaments were unsuitable. Tian Yuan reasoned that if there was a child, he or she would have to deal with domestic violence.

If Pan Lei was a ferocious lion capable of eating people, Tian Yuan was an animal trainer who could subdue him in one sentence.

Pan Lei groped around, looking through his pockets while holding the phone between his ear and shoulder.

"Crap! Laozi can’t possibly have candy on him."

The little boy grew enraged when he heard this. Adults are liars. They deceive children. The boy puffed up, and despite how scary Pan Lei was, and regardless of the fact that he'd scared a little friend to tears, the boy raised his foot and kicked Pan Lei.

"Grownups are liars!"

While glaring at Pan Lei fiercely, the lad tightened his fists and waited for his reaction. Pan Lei rubbed his lower back, where this little brat had kicked him.

"Baby, this kid is just like an alien product. Damn it! Laozi is dying to beat him up."

Tian Yuan couldn't help but touch Jindou'er as he heard the kid shout that adults are all liars. In comparison, their dog son was better. At the very least, it would not become angry with them.

"Coax him."

"I’ll only coax you, never others."

Pan Lei patted his pockets, fished out a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out, and placed it in the child's mouth.

"Give it a shot. It’s fantastic stuff. It can make you forget unhappy things."

The child was skeptical, but he accepted it. Pan Lei personally lit it for him, then took another one out and lit it for himself. He took a huge drag and expelled a smoke ring to demonstrate. The kid similarly took a deep drag and promptly began coughing.

Pan Lei rocked with laughter. He’d never seen such a silly child. He was too amusing.

"Pan Lei! What great deed did you do this time? You’re an adult. Even if you usually make fun of me, you’re not allowed to mock a kid."

"I'll send you a photo to show you, baby."

The child's coughing had stopped. Pan Lei reinserted the cigarette in the child's mouth, took a drag and exhaled in the boy's face, snapped a photo, and sent it to Tian Yuan. Tian Yuan phoned him two minutes later and abused him roundly.

"How dare you do such mean things, you rascal! See how I beat you if you dare to teach the child messy things again. The whip Dad gave me is still in my hand, you hear? I'll thrash you when you come back, and if you dare to do such an a$$hole thing again, laozi won’t spare you."

Pan Lei laughed heartily. He hadn't heard his hubby scolding him in some days and was feeling uneasy all over. He felt relieved after being lectured like this by Tian Yuan. Listen, his family’s little hot pepper had caught fire. He felt he was making chili oil. The aroma had spread with a sizzle. He was the only one who could hear his darling’s angry yelling as his hair exploded. Tian Yuan reprimanded him and cursed him, making this dull day - a day when he could only hear but not see his man - exciting and causing him to mobilize all of his emotions. He imagined the expression on Tian Yuan’s face and entertained himself.


Footnotes:

[1] Obvious, but here you go. This expression implies that you are willing to suffer in order to get something you desperately want. For example, eating something unhealthy because you appreciate the taste of it. In this context, PL is hinting that the kid is brave since he wants to eat candy and is ready to overlook PL's scariness.

[2] You know how the Chinese use grandpa, laozi, and other words to express arrogance. The kid refers to PL as "son" to show that he (the kid) is the boss. lol

IDYTRAA - Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Jindou’er, kiss your dad


In a daze, Tian Yuan received a phone call from his mother-in-law. Mama Dang Hong chastised her son as soon as she heard his rather scratchy and listless voice. Pan Lei, how much did you play last night, you ba$tard? Take a look at this poor child. He lacks the strength to even talk. What's the point of drinking so many tonics? He finally had some physical strength that had been completely sapped by her son.

"Don't come today, Xiao Yuan. Take a good rest, okay. Mom is going to give you the day off."

Tian Yuan, who was dozing and cocooned in the comforter, replied muddleheaded, "Thank you Mom."

He hung up the phone and returned to sleep.

Being a mother requires you to adore your children. Could she possibly allow Tian Yuan to come to work and study with this voice? Certainly not! He was in urgent need of rest. Leizi must have tossed him badly last night. Her son was not present, so she, the mother-in-law, would look after him. To put it another way, meeting Pan Lei was the result of those buddies and friends being careless in making friends. This was also an old lady's worry and effort.

It was already midday when Tian Yuan finally awoke. He sat on the bed for a long time, grabbing his hair, before recovering a little. Oh, right. Pan Lei left. He's been dispatched on a mission. He was only half-awake in the early morning when he felt Pan Lei kissing him and saying to him, "Baby, take care of yourself."

Alas; the days of meeting less and parting more! When they did meet, it was just for a few days. Twenty years, damn it! They had no choice but to go this way no matter how hard it was.

Jindou'er, who had been trained by Pan Lei, did not dare to jump up on the bed and stood there wagging his tail.

Tian Yuan looked at the phone and remembered that his mother-in-law had told him that he would have the day off today.

Tian Yuan slumped back onto the pillow. Because Pan Lei expected this mission to take a long time, the rascal didn't hesitate to torment him mercilessly. Tian Yuan saw the hickeys on his wrist when he lifted the sleeves of his pajamas. He guessed(correctly) that Pan Lei had left traces all over his body.

He patted the bed on the other side.

"Come up here, Jindou'er, and sleep with Dad."

Pan Lei had learned the practice of keeping the room immaculate and the bedding folded into perfect squares while in the army. He wouldn't let Jindou'er jump on their bed. This army guy's quilt, once folded, stayed folded the entire day, constantly maintaining that exact square shape. Pan Lei despised untidy quilts. The puppy would undoubtedly stain and mess the bed if it jumped on it. As a result, Pan Lei insisted that the dog may play however it pleased on the floor, but was not allowed to jump onto the bed.

Jindou'er hesitated for a second before springing up when Tian Yuan patted the bed. With a light plop, it sat near Tian Yuan, licked Tian Yuan's mouth, and joyfully laid on its stomach on the soft bed, a look of excitement on its face.

If Pan Lei saw Jindou'er licking Tian Yuan's mouth, I'm sure he'd make a family rule about it, something along the lines of 'Personal possessions and valuables are not to be touched.'

Tian Yuan wrapped his hand over Jindou'er to cuddle it, smiled bitterly, and hugged it to sleep soundly.

Tian Yuan's sleeping posture was actually poor. When he slept, he liked to roll and ball the quilt. Before getting together with Pan Lei, he was frequently woken up by the cold at night, and he would grasp the quilt again. Pan Lei, on the other hand, followed him when he rolled over, and when he kicked the quilt, Pan Lei covered him. Pan Lei simply gripped him tightly, holding him in his arms like a little cage if he rolled too much. Pan Lei would cuddle him while holding his hands and feet down, and he slept like so all night. Pan Lei had apparently cured him of his terrible sleeping posture.

Tian Yuan flicked Jindouer's nose, causing it to sneeze and shake its head. Tian Yuan laughed.

"I'm also your dad. How come you don’t sneeze when he flicks your nose?"

The phone rang. Tian Yuan took it and lazily placed it on his ear.

"You've arrived?"

"Yeah, I just stepped off the plane. Oh my god, it’s really f*cking poor here, and network coverage is terrible. Are you up?"

Tian Yuan rolled over, and Pan Lei smiled as he heard the rustle of the quilt.

"You haven't woken up yet, darling. You insisted on wearing pajamas after taking a shower yesterday. I undid your pajamas and kissed you all over again before I left today. Take a look. Aren't there a few more marks on your chest?"

Tian Yuan looked down and discovered a few large red marks on his ribcage.

"You stinky rogue, molesting me while I sleep."

"You unfastened your pajamas? Then remove them and don't bother wearing them. Nobody can see you going around naked at home since the curtains are drawn."

"Bah, I'm not as rogue as you are. What if you’ve installed a pinhole camera at home and linked it to your laptop? Won’t you see me in all my glory?"

"What's the big deal? Is there any spot I haven't seen on your body? I've not only seen it, but I've also kissed it. Where's our son?"

Tian Yuan petted Jindou’er.

"Say hello to your dad."

Jindou’er gave a bark.

"Son, help your dad look after your little dad. Dad will reward you on returning. I made porridge for you, baby. If you're awake, heat it up and eat it hot. I placed the insulating mittens in the kitchen's left corner. Wear them when picking up hot plates to avoid burning your hands. The pickled vegetables are all in the fridge. I've washed all of the fruits in the fridge, so you can just grab one and eat it. The weather is getting warmer, so I've sent our winter clothes to be dry cleaned; remember to pick them up. Wear a jacket when you go out, and don’t stay up late. You’re not allowed to stay up all night writing your paper instead of sleeping. Don’t let your smoking addiction worsen. Take a look at your fingers! They’re nearly smoked yellow. Those beautiful white and tender hands are becoming ugly."

"Pan Lei, you should leave the army and become the neighborhood committee auntie. You’re so very qualified for it."

His nagging never stopped. He wasn't a three-year-old kid, so why did he have to do so much accounting?

"You are the only person in the world who has the ability to make me babble. I don't have the spare time to nag others. The signal is not good here. I'm just worried that if there’s no signal where I go, you won’t take care of yourself. Be obedient, baby, and remember everything I said. Don't worry if you can't reach me when you call. This lousy place is really backward. I'll call you when I get a chance."

On the other end of the phone, Tian Yuan heard someone calling Team Leader Pan. Pan Lei appeared to be busy.

"Baby, give me a kiss; I gotta rush."

Tian Yuan didn't feel awkward this time. He grabbed the phone and pointed it towards Jindou'er.

"Kiss your dad."

Jindou’er lived up to expectations by barking.

"Tell your mother to take over and kiss me."

Tian Yuan didn't hear this line, otherwise he would’ve never given a generous kiss over the phone. Pan Lei was happy.

"Look after yourself."

"You, too. Come back early."

Pan Lei smiled as he hung up the phone and told his troops to get things moving quickly.

They landed in a settlement 50 miles from the nearest town, and a mile further inside was a virgin forest. In the pattern of stockaded villages, there were just a few scant and fractured dwellings, and the local dialect made no sense. Fortunately, they arrived with an interpreter. The majority was made up of the elderly and the young, and there were few strong laborers.

"The strong workers think it's too poor here, and nearly all of them have left. Nobody wants to return. The area is too backward. A single cow is a family's entire property in this region. There are no factories or jobs, and the only way to cure oneself when sick is to go up the mountain and dig herbs. Because the per capita income is less than $500 per year, the locals will do any work for anyone willing to pay a few thousand dollars. This region is rife with drug trafficking. Those who cross the border want to establish a drug trafficking road here and buy it off with money, but the village chief here refuses to let them approach for fear of endangering the children and the area’s stability. The robbers proceeded to sweep, with the thought that if they can acquire narcotics, they will help them sell them, and if they can't, they will drive them away."

This time, Pan Lei brought a squadron of 20 soldiers and left a portion of them in the military area, where they could go on missions if needed.

Pan Lei spit the straw out of his mouth. This place was really quite backward. Thatched cottages, wooden fences, large water buffaloes, only nighttime electricity, and the children had never seen Golden monkey toffee. The old men smoked hookahs.

Golden monkey toffee

It was backward but comfortable. Except for the fact that it was too outdated, the place was a small utopia. The surroundings were magnificent, and you could smell the earth as you breathed.

"Set up the communication equipment first, techs. Notify headquarters that we have arrived at the designated location. We need military goods such as rice and flour, as well as iron wire, wood, and tarpaulin. By the way, tell them to send five kilos of toffee as well."

Pan Lei turned his head and noticed a kid with large eyes blinking at him. Pan Lei thought he resembled his family's Jindou'er a little.

"The rest of you divide into three groups. One group patrols around the clock. One group will follow me to the enemy's location to investigate the situation, bringing cameras and sensors. The third group will remain behind to hide our weapons and supplies, arrange for lodging, and pitch tents."

Pan Lei stowed a gun on the back of his waist and prepared for action. They would do a fantastic job now that they were here.

However, this location was extremely remote and backward, and the computers lacked network connectivity. Great, I can't even video chat with my hubby. Fu*king hell! Will I really be able to see my baby only in three or four months? This was the first time they would be separated for so long after they fell in love, no, after they met.

Pan Lei was damn annoyed.

He had only barely arrived but was already considering returning. Leizi, relax. You can go back after killing the bandits. The state required that they help clean up the dregs of this area, educate the locals about the law, and that local production begin. I need a drink. Pan Lei wanted to roar, "Laozi is a killer who executes missions to neutralize danger, not the 7+ years production team captain."

Forget it! Pan Lei recalled how he might request tens of millions of dollars in weapons and become the most lethal commandos who were as tough as nails; this hard job appeared unavoidable. He would simply swallow his longing. So what if he missed Tian Yuan? Anyway, when he returned, they would marry, which was also something to look forward to.

Pan Lei couldn't wait to get back home and enjoy his wedding night before the ceremony. He wanted to do this and that repeatedly, spending the night in rapture.

I'm hoping my baby takes good care of his health while I'm away and can fight me all night.

Pan Lei laughed foolishly while walking. He was thinking of beautiful things and laughing happily. The assistant instructor leaned in and whispered.

"Team Leader Pan, are you going to invite us to drink your wedding wine?"

"Yes, you must all attend my wedding when we return."

All of the brothers cheered. This was fantastic news. They were all looking forward to returning even more.

IDYTRAA - Chapter 205

Chapter 205 The couple must part once more


Pan Lei knew he'd be on a mission for a long period this time, so he needed to make arrangements for his family.

"This mission is not dangerous, but it will take some time to finish. I've asked Lin Mu to assist us in organizing the wedding, and we'll marry when I return. The exact date is unknown. You and Mom go to the mall and order a custom suit for me. I'd like to wear a stylish suit when you marry me."

Tian Yuan leaned on the sofa, cradled in Pan Lei's arms. His legs were on Pan Lei's legs, and his upper body was nestled in Pan Lei's arms, with Pan Lei's chin against his hair hugging his waist. Pan Lei could easily kiss Tian Yuan's forehead if he bowed his head.

"How long will it take?"

"At least three months."

Tian Yuan lowered his head and played with Pan Lei’s fingers, feeling sullen.

Pan Lei spread his hand, intending to compare and see whose hand was bigger. Tian Yuan, however, instantly retracted his hand and grabbed Pan Lei’s hand.

"It's unlucky to compare who has bigger hands among relatives. I'll wait for you. Return early; I'll be waiting for you."

Tian Yuan was an atheist, yet he avoided such things since they were considered taboo. The mission was only a little bit longer. Pan Lei should return by the end of the summer. Pan Lei would spread his arms and smile brightly at him, revealing his pearly teeth, saying, "Baby, I'm back." His smile would be more dazzling than the sun.

"I'll wait for you to return, and we'll marry as soon as you do. Don't worry about me; focus on your mission. I'll make a list of relatives on my side. It's our wedding, therefore I'll plan it on my own with the help of Lin Mu and the others. I'll make the decisions, and you're not permitted to disagree. Even if I decide to have an underwater wedding, you must accompany me on the dive. Mom and I will go over wedding invitations, hotel reservations, and wedding suits. Let's snap a picture when you get back. We'll hang it beside the bed. When you return, we'll hang picture frames all over the walls. I'm going to paint the house and get a new huge bed. Then we'll tie the knot. I've accumulated enough credits. We'll go to Canada in the fall if you have time. We'll take both of our parents to get our marriage certificate."

This time, Tian Yuan was quite supportive of him. He was not going to hold Pan Lei back. Pan Lei had to leave. It was official business, which was his responsibility. He would always back Pan Lei and would never convince him to leave the service.

"You look after the country, and I'll look after our parents. I'll be waiting for you at home. If you're concerned about me, you should finish the assignment and return early."

Tian Yuan's gaze was firm. He might act like a three or four-year-old kid under Pan Lei's pampering, but he was not a weak guy. He was polite, mild-mannered, and kind, yet he was no coward. He knew when he should back Pan Lei up. Now was the time to stand firmly behind Pan Lei and be his motivation.

Pan Lei held and kissed his darling. His beloved always made him fall in love with him all over again.

"It won't be too long. I'll call you every day. I'll be back as soon as the mission is over."

Tian Yuan nodded, believing Pan Lei. Pan Lei always meant what he said.

"Okay, we’re done with this problem. Now let’s talk about your life throughout this period. I spoke with my mother, and she agreed to bring you a lunch box every day. You can microwave it and eat it at home. To satiate your cravings or for a change, go to Zhang Hui's restaurant. I insist that you do not use a knife. Remember the ten family rules as well. Don’t think people can flutter about you just because I am not by your side. Isn't that French guy one of your classmates who came to China? If he bothers you again, I will ask Second Brother to deport him from China."

Was now the time to be jealous? Shouldn't they hug, utter sweet words, and express how much they hated parting? At this moment, how dare he bring up the ten family rules?!

Tian Yuan couldn't help but dislike him after witnessing him wrecking the atmosphere. Bandit! Rogue! You don't even have a romantic cell!

"I received a call from Second Brother today. You want to get your driver's license, eh? We’ll talk about it when I get back. I'm afraid you'll be too nervous. I don’t want to read in the press that a student drove straight into the wall, killing one and injuring another."

"Stop! I'm not learning right now. Happy?"

Pan Lei was aware that such bloody things horrified him. Tian Yuan stood up by pressing his shoulders. Pan Lei was no longer snuggling with him or chatting to him, which irritated him.

"I'm not worried about you being in danger when I'm not at home. The refrigerator is bursting at the seams with food. There are a lot of fruits as well. Remember to take your medication and to drink the TCM packets my mother gave you. I notice your body has gotten stronger over the last two days, at least at night when we..."

Tian Yuan twisted his face and tugged his cheeks.

"Say it again."

Do you want face, huh? DO YOU WANT FACE? Could this kind of thing be said?

Pan Lei smirked and rubbed his sore face. In reality, he was a guy who learned the most from experience. Tian Yuan would never get up before noon the next day after doing it three times in one night in the past. He could now get up at 10 o'clock the next day after doing it three times. Even though it was only two hours earlier, this was still progress!

But there are accidents, right? For example, the length of time they exercised each time, the pace of his thrusts, the difference in positions...all of these were factors.

Tian Yuan was itching to bite him. He could tell what this stinking rascal was thinking by the lecherous expression on his face.

"It’s good stuff, so drink it. It's best to avoid getting sick during this period. It's growing warmer by the day; don't be greedy for the cold and stand under the air conditioner blowing. Don't let Jindou’er sleep on our bed; it’ll get covered in dog hair. Bring him a collar. If you must take him to the hospital, tie him to the table leg. Don't give him any messy food, and don’t consume any messy stuff yourself either. Just tasting an ice cream will do. Remember to wash the fruit before eating."

"Yes, Mom."

Tian Yuan turned away from his ramblings and headed to his room to make the bed.

"When do you leave tomorrow?"

"Seven o'clock."

"Make me breakfast before you leave."

Pan Lei stroked his chin, wondering to himself: Have I really become a mother? On the eve of such a long separation, the topic of discussion shifted to tomorrow's breakfast?!

Pan Lei approached silently, placed his arms around Tian Yuan's waist, and led him back to the bed as he saw Tian Yuan fluff the pillow, pat the brown teddy bear, tidy up the kennel for Jindou'er, and turn around to open the closet to fetch clothes.

He reached down and grabbed his little head with his fingers.

"Come tell your gege: Ge, I hate parting with you; come back sooner because I'll be waiting for you. Ge, I love you. Say it!"

Tian Yuan struggled desperately, but Pan Lei was like an immovable mountain, and he couldn't break free as Pan Lei pressed down on him.

"Pan Lei, you ba$tard, laozi won't marry you, laozi won't take you as a wife!"

Pan Lei pulled the quilt and wrapped them both within.

"Crap! (F*ck) your uncle! Laozi’s shirt!"

Tian Yuan yelled, and his shirt was swooshed out of the quilt.

"Pan Lei, you jerk, laozi’s pants!"

The pants were also thrown out.

Pan Lei then placed his hand on the waistband of Tian Yuan's underwear.

"If you tear my briefs, I'll make you pay."

Tian Yuan reached out and ripped Pan Lei’s shirt apart, tossing it aside.

"Humph! Don't think you’re the only one who can tear clothes; laozi can, too."

Oho, this guy in his family was also a little bandit now, eh? And he seemed to have learned 30% to 40% of his bandit temperament. Alright! Then he wanted to see what happened when it was little bandit vs rogue bandit.

"Don't kiss my neck; don't bite my shoulder… hey! What are you doing?! Loathsome! Get away… why are you biting my chest..."

On the outside, the quilt arched back and forth. Inside the quilt, Tian Yuan's voice sounded muffled, shy, and urgent. He twisted left and right, but he couldn't get away from Pan Lei’s hands and lips. Pan Lei pressed down on him and kissed him passionately, caressed his waist and abdomen, felt his leg up, bent it, raised it slightly, and hooked it around his waist. Pan Lei’s body sank and pressed on, causing Tian Yuan to cry out.

"Don't..don't use your thing to press against me, you scumbag!"

Pan Lei chuckled and whispered in his ear.

"Don't you think you’re broadcasting live, darling? There is no need to imagine that we have reached that point if someone is listening to our wall right now. They'll know I'm violating you there based on your words."

Tian Yuan's cheeks flushed and he bit his lips, afraid to make a sound.

Pan Lei took the lubricant, assisted him in expanding, and entered slowly.

Tian Yuan almost bit his lip to bleed when he went all the way in, but he didn't make a sound.

"Shout, darling, ge likes it when you do."

Tian Yuan shook his head, bit Pan Lei on the shoulder, wrapped one arm around his shoulder, the other around his neck, and relaxed to receive him.

Pan Lei withdrew a little and then rammed in. Tian Yuan held his breath but made no sound.

"Ge is wrong, okay? Don't bite your tongue, it’ll hurt. Be good and call out. Ge really likes hearing it. Faster or slower? Tell me what you want."

Every stroke was powerful, pushing out and coming back in. Tian Yuan resembled a small boat. Pan Lei was toying with him and rocking him, and when he opened his eyes, everything was swaying. He grasped the covers, then the pillow, before scratching his shoulders.

"Say it…what do you want ge to do…ge loves you so much."

Pan Lei was grinding in his body, determined to stimulate Tian Yuan. He didn't move and simply rolled on the protrusion, blowing in Tian Yuan's ear, biting it, and licking the ear bone until his body contracted.

Tian Yuan was gasping for air and doing his best not to be seduced by Pan Lei, despite the fact that he felt like he was about to burst.

"F*ck off, you ba$tard! You bully me, you trick me, and yet you want to leave me. I warn you: if you dare to not come back, if you dare to make me wait too long, I.. I will not marry you. I won’t marry you!"

Pan Lei clutched his waist and sped up.

"If you don't marry me, I will marry you. I’ll take you home in a huge sedan chair."

The shattered moans couldn't be contained any longer. Tian Yuan could only hug him as his brain went blank and his senses became overwhelmed. Pan Lei was in his brain, his body, and even his pores at this point.

"Ge, please come back early."

Tian Yuan clung to Pan Lei's neck and sobbed this wish into his ear as he erupted. Return early and don't keep me waiting too long.

Pan Lei kissed, caressed, and coaxed him repeatedly, whispering in his ear.

"Baby, wait for me. Time passes quickly. We’ll get married when I come back. I’ll definitely return soon. Take care of yourself and don't let me be anxious. I’ll call you every day. Don’t worry."

Tian Yuan dozed off in Pan Lei's arms, clutching his hand and hugging his waist. After sunrise, it was time to say goodbye. He was still reluctant to part no matter how many times it happened.

Pan Lei coaxed him like a child, and his sweet talk continued until he fell asleep fully. He embraced Tian Yuan and fell asleep after kissing him repeatedly.

IDYTRAA - Chapter 204

Chapter 204 Issuing important orders


Pan Lei was leaving for the military sector for a meeting, promising to return afterward. In fact, he wasn't certain, but he didn't want to worry Tian Yuan, so he stated he'd return home when he was free.

However, he went to the pet store and returned with fifty kilos of dog food before leaving. Jindou'er ate a lot after it recovered. The puppy had blown out like a balloon after a few days of eating like there was no tomorrow. It was only the size of a newspaper when he brought it home; what was the deal with it getting increasingly heavier and bigger?

"You have class as well as work. Why don't I bring Jindou'er along?"

Pan Lei started changing his clothes. He said he was going to a meeting, but he probably understood what the agenda was. Tian Yuan was baffled. Do they need to be in full dress uniform for a meeting? Why didn’t he know this? Wasn’t dressing up for a meeting too formal? Pan Lei was quite casual while he was with his men. Could the meeting be with his commanders? Tian Yuan couldn’t inquire about military matters, so he simply hoped Pan Lei would return home after the meeting.

Wearing a tie bothered Pan Lei the most. It wrapped around his neck, making him feel uneasy. He felt irritated every time he donned a tie. In his hand, the dark green tie had turned into a vegetable leaf. Tian Yuan stood in front of him and fastened his necktie, straightened his cuffs, and helped him put on his coat.

"No, I do not want him to go. I can look after him."

"Then confine him at home and take him for a stroll whenever you have time. Remember to fill his dog bowls with water and dog food before you go to work. Lock the door tightly and don't let him escape."

Buttoned up, crisp and ironed, stiff and solemn. People are involuntarily awed by uniforms, and so was Tian Yuan.

Pan Lei kissed and hugged Tian Yuan.

"Wait for me at home. Pay attention to your health and don't overwork yourself. If you feel that you can't take it any longer, go to the military compound for a few days. If Jindou’er annoys you, you can send him to Lin Mu or Mom."

"The child is crying and being noisy; can you carry the child and throw it into the trash can?"

"Well, it's absolutely impossible for me to throw you out. Give me a kiss, baby. I want a French kiss."

Tian Yuan approached him and allowed him to bite his lips, leaving a little wound. This became habitual. He had to take a bite every time he left. It took four or five days for the wound to heal. Tian Yuan's lips hurt every time he touched them, reminding him of Pan Lei. He'd reprimand him as a ba$tard, then smile sweetly.

Pan Lei kissed Tian Yuan till he went weak in the knees.

"Now an English kiss, deepthroat."

"Give me an American kiss, the wash-face kiss."

Pan Lei was still unsatisfied, contemplating how to scam a few more kisses. Tian'er is such a sweetheart! I request a kiss, and he simply kisses me. Pan Lei couldn't help but ask for more kisses after seeing how readily he was getting them.

"I'll give you a Chinese-style kick if you want another one. Get lost for laozi! Your demands are endless."

Pan Lei grabbed up Jindou'er with grievance after noticing his uniform pants had a footprint as well.

"Protect your mother when I, your Dad, am not at home."

When Tian Yuan heard this, he suspected something was wrong. He lifted his foot for another kick. Pan Lei laughed, flung open the door, and bolted.

Tian Yuan laughed angrily as he saw his foot fly through the air. He yelled downstairs as he opened the window. Pan Lei had already ran out of the building at this point.

"Pan Lei, you big ba$tard."

Pan Lei blew him a kiss.

"Honey, when I come back, marry me and take me home."

Tian Yuan closed the window as he got into the automobile, and the corners of his lips lifted in joy that he couldn't hide. This hooligan could easily coax him into happiness. He took Jindou'er in his arms and petted it.

"It's just the two of us lords. Will you be afraid by yourself when I leave for work? Forget it. You must be obedient and well-mannered. Dad will bring you to work."

Jindou'er was quite well-mannered and did not rush around the hospital. He and Pan Lei attempted to take it into the hospital. Although such little things were not permitted in the hospital, the notion of leaving it at home all day made him uneasy. He was sure to be met by a depressed and angry son when he got home from work!

Tian Yuan was born soft-hearted.

Wasn't it fine to just lock it up in his office with its toys and dog food? Damn! But because he couldn't drive, he couldn't drive it to and from work. His 'driver' was unavailable, so he needed to come up with a solution.

I need to get my driver's license as soon as possible. He was now engaged at the Armed Police Hospital, which was quite a distance away.

He might as well contact Pan Ge.

"Do you have any recommendations for a good driving school, Second Brother? One in which the instructor doesn’t scold. I want to get my driver's license."

Pan Ge burst out laughing.

"Oh, you should wait for Leizi to return. It's preferable to attending driving school. If a teacher yells at you and he finds out, he'll go to destroy the driving school. Isn't it safer if Leizi or I drive you? I heard you've been quite busy lately, so don't be like a sponge, trying to absorb everything. Simply follow Third Aunt. We'll discuss the driver's license issue later."

Tut! Why do people think I need Pan Lei to escort me? You think I'm powerless without him?

Whatever. He brought Jindou’er to work with him. He’d focus on being a good doctor.

Pan Lei did not return to the military area, instead driving straight to the Security Bureau. His CO was present, as were some acquaintances from his parents' generation. It was reasonable to suggest that he address them as "uncle." The stars on their shoulders shone brightly.

He knew the task had been assigned as soon as he received a call indicating he was heading to a meeting.

Everyone in the massive conference room was solemn. Someone detailed how the frequent robberies on the China-Myanmar border were a well-planned and orchestrated operation. Their movements were coordinated and quick. They were not common people, but rather individuals who had been trained in a certain country. The area was impoverished, and if a modest benefit was offered to the locals, someone would help them distribute drugs. That location was simply a wild zone with no contact with modern civilization.

They required technology, someone to lead them out of poverty, law enforcement professionals, and armed forces.

"This job is daunting and exhausting. It is vital not just to grasp the bandits in that area, but also to create significant legal awareness. The harassment of bandits in that area has made civilian livelihood tough in recent years. The goal is to let the locals settle in and live normal lives before withdrawing. To protect themselves, it is best to organize a local army."

Pan Lei was addressed by the CO.

"The SWAT team was called in because the bandits were out of control. The SWAT unit was deployed several times, with significant losses. The cost was rather high. Everyone on your team is exceptional, having excellent skills and kung fu. Even if you battle them, they will be no match for you. You will arrive quietly and not draw notice to yourself. When the moment comes, you will eliminate the bandits in a single blow. You will be commanded to infiltrate Myanmar and destroy the bandits' hideout if necessary."

Pan Lei frowned as he read the information. In truth, this task was quite cumbersome. He would have preferred to resolve a crisis in that location. His team would have flown over, promptly concluded the battle, and returned. This task, however, was going to take a long time.

"Is there any problem?"

It was time to fight for the country. Even if he didn't want to go and hated leaving Tian Yuan, now was not the time to indulge in love.

"No problem."

The CO patted Pan Lei's shoulder with a look of admiration.

"Good lad, you deserve to be called the old general's son; you’ve inherited your family’s glorious tradition."

"I'll return to reorganize the team, get my men, and we'll set off tomorrow, determined to finish the job."

"If you encounter any issues or face any local challenging scenario, report to us and contact us. We will accommodate any request. If the manpower is insufficient, I will provide you with SWAT support from Tengchong city."

The military region's commander-in-chief opened his mouth and assured that any request could be fulfilled.

"Our special forces helicopters are getting a touch old and are a little small. Why don't you replace our helicopter? And look at foreign commandos like the US Navy SEALs. We covet the weapons they use. Please give me the most advanced McMillan TAC-50, rocket boosters, and amphibious armored vehicles."

"Well done! You try to use tens of millions of military budget as soon as you open your mouth, Leizi. You intend to rob me!"

Rob? Well, why not? Every soldier is tempted by those cutting-edge weapons. A good horse needs to be equipped with a good saddle. They were at the forefront and faced the most risk, thus their equipment had to be most advanced. It would be amazing to have equipment similar to those used by Navy SEALs.

"OK, as long as you finish this task successfully, I'll give you what you want."

Despite being robbed, the old commander, whose military rank was the same as Papa Pan's, was extremely happy. He was pleased to see a qualified successor and considered it a source of pride for the Pan family to have such a man.

Pan Lei gave a salute in high spirits.

He leapt into the car, rushed to the special forces, and told his men to pack and be ready to head to the battlefield the next day.

He had to run back and tell his baby that the mission would take a long time and that he needed to take good care of himself at home.

Pan Lei found a notepad and started writing in it while pondering.

The young driver who was driving him was perplexed. What was Lieutenant Colonel Pan thinking so seriously about?

What Pan Lei wrote was how many people were in the Pan family and what was the number of people when relatives and friends were counted. How many people were in Tian Yuan's family, how many friends he’d invite, how many tables to set up, and the banquet standards.

We need best men, not bridesmaids. Oh, yeah! Pan Yue won’t come, will she? I can’t let her cause a ruckus.

As for the best man, there are several buddies readily available. No matter what, Zhang Hui has to provide the booze. I must build a big box to hold the red envelopes...

Nah, I’ll think about these things later. He was currently on a mission and would be gone for an extended period of time. What should he do about his darling?

"Mom, I'm going on a mission that will last at least three months. Please bring some food from home for Tian'er every day, but no dumplings. He really doesn't want to eat that right now. He can take the food home and eat it. Prepare some more soup. Is anyone else present besides Dad? I'll be gone for quite some time. Please don't let me return to a skinny birdman."

"I know, I know, I’ll pay attention to safety. Don't worry. Okay, I promise I’ll wear a bulletproof vest. To be honest, it makes little difference whether you wear it or not when the moment comes. Alright, alright, don’t worry. I’ll be careful, really. My baby is still waiting for me, so I must come back intact. Hey, Mom, plan a wedding for me when I return. I want to get married to your son."

Pan Lei laughed and told his mother that he no longer wanted to just live together. He desired to marry openly and publicly and to be together. They were to be a well-known and involved married pair.
