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.

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.
