After sending Yu Yang to school, Zhou Yi cunningly stood at the school gate for a while.

Even when a dozen or so cars were backing up behind him, the gatekeeper, seeing that he was a military officer, didn't dare to kick him out.

Chen Hong was both amused and annoyed, and honked the car horn to get him back into the car.

Zhou Yi started the car and drove away from the school gate, pretending nothing had happened. Chen Hong scolded him irritably.

"You're wearing a military uniform, don't you know how to behave? You've made things difficult for the security guard, do you even realize that?"

Believe it or not, if you stand at the door for another five minutes, the traffic police will come out and talk to you.

Zhou Yi didn't care at all. "I'm not afraid! I'm not the only one standing at the school gate."

Does wearing a military uniform mean I can't enjoy spending quality time with my son?

I am on vacation now, and I should enjoy the same treatment as ordinary citizens.

Some people in society are too harsh on soldiers. They expect them to be selfless during their work and also during their leave.

Even military family members want to be selfless and dedicated along with them. Why should they?

We are also citizens of this country and should enjoy all legal benefits. We haven't broken any laws or regulations, nor have we overcharged or taken advantage of others. Once we take off our military uniforms, we are just ordinary citizens.

We should do what we're supposed to do, even at the cost of our lives. But why should we be put on a pedestal and forced to do what's not our responsibility?

Did you know that this is how my uncle's family members died? Those who caused their deaths are still living happily. Why don't they pay more taxes to the country?

These people are the most disgusting; they talk about national righteousness when they make demands of others.

When it's my turn, I'm so damn selfish. I'll do any dirty thing that's against my conscience and against the law.

Sometimes we see our comrades wounded and discharged, while some of the people we protect become high-ranking officials, amass wealth, and commit murder. Their hearts are worse than bedbugs in a latrine.

I felt extremely uncomfortable, even more so than if I were physically injured.

Chen Hong remained silent. She was not a young woman with limited access to information; she had experiences from her previous life.

Based solely on publicly available information online, it's already clear that beneath this bright and clear sky, there exists much filth and darkness.

The events in northern Myanmar are not limited to the north; in hidden corners, brutality, evil, and ruthlessness abound...

Intrigues and schemes that ordinary people never understand, the power struggles between seemingly respectable forces, what is white, what is black, what is gray?

It's just that big shots disguise themselves at different times and in different places!

“Let’s go home!” Zhou Yi turned to look at her, his gaze intense, and the temperature inside the car suddenly rose.

"Let's go to the XX shopping center to buy some clothes. We don't have any spare clothes for you at home." Chen Hong turned her gaze away and looked out of the car.

Zhou Yi watched as her cheeks flushed, and gradually even the tips of her ears turned a translucent red.

This woman is even shy! Zhou Yi felt incredibly pleased. He turned the steering wheel and drove straight to the ×× Shopping Center.

Both of them were direct and decisive people. An hour and a half later, they returned to their car, each carrying large and small bags full of shopping bags, their hauls plentiful.

Zhou Yi started the car and said, "For the first time in my life, I feel like I'm being kept. Thank you, Ms. Chen!"

His voice was full of joy. This shopping trip was just shopping, and there was no exaggerated "shopping" behavior as his comrades described.

However, he enjoyed shopping with Chen Hong. She would carefully select clothes, shoes, and belts for him, discussing every detail with him. Once they were both satisfied, she would pay immediately.

This is the first time I've realized that the phrase "inhumanly extravagant" sounds so endearing when applied to Chen Hong.

Chen Hong paid all the bills today; she spent over two million yuan on these things.

If he weren't wearing a military uniform, he would just be a gigolo following around a rich woman.

As Zhou Yi drove, he would occasionally glance at the petite woman in the passenger seat, his smile never fading.

"Actually, being a kept man isn't so bad; it feels quite blissful!"

Chen Hong rolled her eyes cutely: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you sick in the head?"

"Hmm, he's quite ill, that's why he can't do without your special medicine!"

"Serving in the army didn't stop you from honing your speaking skills!"

"What's the big deal? You don't think we soldiers can't even speak, do you?"

Sigh! I still haven't spent enough time with you, and you don't know me fully!

"I need to try to take on more missions in the future so I can get more vacation time to come back and spend time with you and the kids."

"You're not young anymore, why are you still working so hard? What if you get injured just to get more vacation time and more missions?"

Wouldn't that be a case of losing more than you gain? There's plenty of time ahead, take it slow, no rush!

"Sigh! You won't give me any official status, how can you understand my feelings of anxiety and uncertainty!"

Chen Hong remained silent: ...

The topic was so frequently repeated that she was speechless.

It was past three o'clock when Zhou Yi got home. He drove the car into the garage and asked as he entered the elevator:

"What time does Yu Yang get out of school this afternoon? What time do we need to pick him up?"

"School ends at 4:30, so you have to leave home at 4:20 to wait at the school gate."

The two of them returned home with bags and packages. As soon as they entered the door, Zhou Yi threw the shopping bags he was carrying on the coffee table, and then took the things from Chen Hong and casually threw them on the carpet in front of the coffee table.

"Don't throw them away! I need to tidy things up first, and wash and hang up my underwear and undergarments!"

Zhou Yi scooped Chen Hong up and carried her into the master bedroom. "Don't worry, I'll wash myself later."

Time is tight this afternoon and the task is urgent, let's take care of the important business first!

I miss you so much! Don't you miss me at all? How can you even think about other things?

He threw Chen Hong onto the bed and then pounced on top of her.

He held Chen Hong's head with one hand and stroked her face with the other, then lowered his head and kissed her deeply.

The man's unique and exclusive scent wafted towards her, spraying into her nostrils, hot and burning, as if her skin were on fire.

Chen Hong's heart pounded faster, and she felt a chill on her upper body. In her dizziness, her clothes were stripped off and torn to shreds.

Her fair body sank into the soft bedding, breathtakingly beautiful, and a fire flickered in Zhou Yi's eyes.

He was especially gentle today, holding her tightly and responding to her every whim...

(Omit everything that should be omitted and everything that shouldn't be omitted; a meatless, all-vegetarian life is the most harmonious—this is the purest chapter.)

A gentle breeze was blowing outside, causing the curtains to sway.

Chen Hong felt slightly tipsy and dizzy, as if she were drunk. Her mind was a complete mess, and this feeling made her feel somewhat lost.

She lay prone on the soft bed, and Chen Hong didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Perhaps due to prior experience, Zhou Yi was even more unrestrained today than last time.

His stamina was astonishing, giving her no chance to catch her breath. In the end, Chen Hong's legs went weak.
