"No"

"That's fine then. You didn't study much back then, but I was still willing to be with you. Do you think I only found out now that you're a roughneck? Hmm, I don't know who you've been learning all this from!" After saying that, Ruan Shaoke yawned. "I'm tired. I have training tomorrow. Go to sleep." Then Ruan Shaoke turned over, snuggled into Bai Sirui's arms, and closed his eyes.

After hearing Ruan Shaoke's answer and seeing his actions, Bai Sirui was very pleased that Ruan Shaoke had responded to him with both actions and words.

He originally just wanted to mess around with him.

With the support of Huo Haocheng and Ruan Ruan during this time, Bai Sirui felt that their relationship could truly be recognized by others. Therefore, he relaxed a little.

Looking at the person in his arms, Bai Sirui kissed him on the forehead and said, "Goodnight, my wife."

In the days that followed, they completed different training tasks every day. Occasionally, Huo Haocheng would take them into the back mountains for jungle training.

During this time, because a family member in the family compound betrayed Ruan Ruan's situation to the Golden Triangle, after receiving the news, Ruan Ruan decided to risk her life, and their special team cooperated with Ruan Ruan to make the arrest.

Before the operation began, Ruan Ruan had Huo Haocheng give them some medicine powder, including hemostatic medicine, mosquito repellent, and sleeping pills. In Ruan Ruan's own words, "The enemy has already poisoned them, so why can't we? As our ancestors said, we should repay them in kind."

They all felt that Ruan Ruan's words made a lot of sense, and she truly deserved to be the personal disciple of the divine physician Bai Shu.

Therefore, this mission was the easiest one they had ever undertaken.

They went in, sprayed the poison, and then arrested people—it was all done in one go, like an assembly line.

Back at the unit, they were still not quite convinced.

Following this mission, which wasn't really a formal task, they soon faced a real mission: protecting diplomats. This international conference was of paramount importance to the nation, and the diplomats attending were none other than Gu Wencheng and his daughter, Gu Jingyan.

After receiving the mission, Huo Haocheng arranged for several members of the special team to go to the capital in batches in advance.

That day, after morning training, Huo Haocheng suddenly told them that he would send Ruan Ruan back to her hometown first, and the others would set off as planned.

After the group disbanded, Ruan Shaoke approached Huo Haocheng and said, "Let me go back with you. I haven't been home for so many years, so this is a good opportunity to go back and see my parents."

Huo Haocheng didn't think much of Ruan Shaoke's request, since he was telling the truth. Ever since Ruan Shaoke went to the Air Force without a word, he hadn't been home all these years in order to prove himself. His second uncle and aunt often mentioned him, so it was good to go back and visit together. However, if Ruan Shaoke went with him, what would happen to Bai Sirui?

"What about Bai Sirui? Is he coming too?"

“Yes, he’s coming back with me too.” If they were going together, Ruan Shaoke might have hesitated, but since Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng found out about their relationship, it gave him a lot of courage. Maybe Bai Sirui was right, and perhaps Ruan Ruan was their lucky star.

Meanwhile, Bai Sirui, who was standing in the corner, also heard the conversation between the two. When Huo Haocheng asked him if he wanted him, Bai Sirui was nervous. If Ruan Shaoke had said he wouldn't take him, he could have understood. But he said he would take him. How could he not be moved?

In recent years, Ruan Shaoke has missed his family very much, but in order to keep him company and not let him spend the New Year alone, Ruan Shaoke has always kept quiet. However, he knows about all the sacrifices Ruan Shaoke has made for him. Now that he can go home to see his parents, he is very happy. But Ruan Shaoke said that he wants to take me with him, even if it is as a comrade-in-arms, to go home with him. This is a step forward in their relationship.

"Then I'll go buy the tickets in a bit."

The four of them happened to have bought tickets for the same carriage, which was very convenient.
