Super Soldier in the City

Seeing Meng Xiaofei’s demeanor, it was clear she wasn’t planning to leave Li Yifei’s room. She already gave her reason: the bed was wet and couldn’t be slept in.

So Li Yifei also didn’t suggest Meng Xiaofei switch rooms. However, looking around the room, there wasn’t another tatami, and the sofa was very small. Li Yifei scratched his head—did it mean they had to sleep on the same bed?

If it weren’t for the previous incidents, Li Yifei wouldn’t have thought about this issue. It wasn’t like they hadn’t slept together before. Anyway, psychologically, Li Yifei felt like he was Meng Xiaofei’s brother, so it wasn’t a big burden at all. But now it was different. Li Yifei was worried, afraid that if his body lost control again, he might do something harmful to Meng Xiaofei.

Meng Xiaofei sensed Li Yifei’s predicament and automatically slid to the inner side of the bed. She patted the spot beside her and said to Li Yifei, "Brother Li, you sleep here. We’re like siblings, there’s nothing to it."

Li Yifei looked at Meng Xiaofei with a smile, put his hands on his hips, and said, "We can sleep, but we have to set some rules."

"Okay, you say," Meng Xiaofei nodded in agreement.

Li Yifei gave a hum, touched his chin, and said, "First of all, I don’t know what’s wrong with my body today. Just now... my body was really out of control and my brain couldn’t command it. So that’s why it happened. But if it happens again, you don’t have to worry about me, agree or not?"

Meng Xiaofei deliberately spat and said, "Who’s eager to care for you? I tried to help you and you weren’t grateful. I won’t care next time."

Li Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That’s good. Second, no gnashing your teeth, farting, or snoring while sleeping."

Meng Xiaofei immediately widened her eyes, ’angrily’ staring at Li Yifei, and said, "When did I ever gnash my teeth, fart, or snore while sleeping? Brother Li, are you looking down on me?"

"Haha, no, I was just teasing you."

"Hmph, what’s the third rule?"

"Third, no wetting the bed." After Li Yifei finished speaking, he walked to the bathroom. Meng Xiaofei pretended to throw something at him, but there was nothing around her except for a pillow. She held it up, then hesitated to throw it, and only lightly pounded it once Li Yifei was in the bathroom.

Li Yifei took a shower, changed into another pair of underwear, and came back out. He didn’t deliberately put on pajamas or anything; if Meng Xiaofei misbehaved, it wouldn’t make a difference whether he wore pajamas or not, and similarly, if he really wanted to do something, it wouldn’t help even if Meng Xiaofei didn’t want to.

Having deliberately taken a cold shower, Li Yifei was now completely refreshed. He walked over, lifted the thin blanket, and lay down. Sure enough, Meng Xiaofei was keeping her distance, but it wasn’t long before her little hand came over, touched Li Yifei’s arm, and then she exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Li, you’re so cool to the touch."

"Mm... let’s sleep," Li Yifei shifted a bit, lay down with his head on the pillow, and closed his eyes.

Meng Xiaofei pouted and said, "Well, goodnight then, Brother Li."

Li Yifei was quite sleepy initially, but with Meng Xiaofei’s little antics, he became more alert. Meng Xiaofei, having lain there for a bit, didn’t do anything outrageous, just placed one hand on Li Yifei’s arm. Before long, her breathing became even and steady.

Li Yifei opened his eyes, looked at the peacefully sleeping Meng Xiaofei, and gently whispered, "Thank you, silly girl!"

If it weren’t for Meng Xiaofei, he might still be tormented by that thing. Li Yifei felt it was necessary to figure out what exactly had happened, but for now, it was best to just get a good night’s sleep.

By dawn, Li Yifei suddenly heard a scream. He opened his eyes abruptly and propped up his body, only to see Meng Xiaofei beside him clutching the blanket tightly, body curled up, her expression tortured, shouting, "No, don’t come over, ah..."

Without thinking, Li Yifei reached out, held Meng Xiaofei, and pulled her into his arms. Meng Xiaofei was having a nightmare, something bad happened in her dream, and Li Yifei only felt a pang of heartache.

Even though he had rescued Meng Xiaofei and temporarily destroyed Yanagio Inujiro and his men, because he was seriously injured and buried in the soil, he hadn’t properly comforted Meng Xiaofei. He had no idea how she had managed these past days, and on that day, she had witnessed Sophia killing so many people with her own eyes and then driving Li Yifei and Sophia away—it was tough on her.

Gently patting Meng Xiaofei’s back, Li Yifei held her in his embrace and comforted, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

Meng Xiaofei opened her eyes with traces of tears on her face. Upon seeing Li Yifei and hearing his words, she tightly pressed her lips, responding with a hum, and in a hoarse voice said, "I dreamt some bad guys wanted to bully me, and then... Brother Li appeared and defeated them all!"

"Good girl, sleep," Li Yifei reached out to wipe Meng Xiaofei’s tears away as she nestled against his waist, closed her eyes again.

Meng Xiaofei drifted back to sleep. This time, with Li Yifei holding her, Meng Xiaofei didn’t have any more nightmares, but the dreams seemed to continue. In no time, Li Yifei heard Meng Xiaofei smack her lips—chewing on something, it seemed she was having a delicious dream, occasionally letting out a sound of contentment.

Since it was a good dream, Li Yifei didn’t wake her, and looking down at Meng Xiaofei with her eyes closed and a content look on her face chewing in her sleep, Li Yifei found her absolutely adorable.

I indeed neglected to give Meng Xiaofei some psychological guidance, and because Meng Xiaofei has been acting so well and so normal these past two days, Li Yifei completely forgot to guide her a bit.

Thinking about it now, it really shouldn’t have been this way. Li Yifei felt a bit guilty; being able to meet Meng Xiaofei until now is an enormous stroke of fate. Although they’re not family, they’re already closer than family now. Li Yifei feels he has the obligation to take good care of Meng Xiaofei, rather than letting her be frightened and hurt like this.

He kept watch over Meng Xiaofei until dawn. Li Yifei just closed his eyes without falling asleep, so when Meng Xiaofei opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Li Yifei’s smiling face.

With the sunlight shining in, the light in the room was excellent, filled with a sense of warmth. Meng Xiaofei looked up at Li Yifei, and her mood instantly felt full.

Their bodies were intertwined, and her white leg was draped over Li Yifei, clinging to him like an octopus.

"Good morning, Brother Li," Meng Xiaofei said crisply.

Li Yifei grinned and said, "Good morning, Xiaofei."

Meng Xiaofei immediately pouted with dissatisfaction, pulling Li Yifei’s arm, and said, "Brother Li, you should say, ’Good morning, my dearest little sister.’

Li Yifei laughed heartily, nodded, and said, "Good morning, my dearest little sister."

Only then was Meng Xiaofei satisfied, nodding in agreement, then she hugged Li Yifei’s arm, her little face pressed over, snuggling into Li Yifei’s chest like an adorable, clingy kitten. Only after rubbing against his chest with satisfaction did she lift her head and say, "Brother Li, did you stay up all night?"

Li Yifei raised an eyebrow and said, "How do you know?"

"Because knowing means knowing," Meng Xiaofei said with a smug little face.

Li Yifei reached out and tweaked Meng Xiaofei’s nose dotingly, saying, "Because a little kitten had a nightmare last night. I was afraid you’d have another nightmare and stayed awake to guard you."

Meng Xiaofei blinked her eyes, let out an "ah," and said, "Brother Li, did you really not sleep all night?"

"I slept for a while, but I woke up when you had a nightmare."

Meng Xiaofei sniffled, her little face fell. She was both touched and heartbroken. Staying up all night in a dark room must’ve been boring and tedious. But Meng Xiaofei didn’t know what to do, so she propped herself up and gave Li Yifei a heavy kiss on the forehead, saying, "Then let’s go nowhere today. Brother Li, catch up on your sleep; I’ll watch over you."

"No need, as long as you’re no longer tormented by nightmares, Brother Li can go ten days without sleep."

Meng Xiaofei pursed her lips, murmuring, "I’m sorry, Brother Li, for worrying you. I promise not to have nightmares anymore."

Li Yifei, half laughing, half crying, tapped Meng Xiaofei’s bottom through the blanket, saying, "No one can control their dreams. There’s nothing going on these days anyway, let’s sleep together at night. This way, if you have a nightmare, I can hug and comfort you."

"Brother Li..." Meng Xiaofei was even more moved, throwing herself into Li Yifei’s arms, saying coquettishly, "Why are you so nice, you make me want to cry."

Li Yifei patted Meng Xiaofei’s back. This girl, in her excitement, threw herself at him; her small bosom was pressing onto his chest. The feeling was quite pleasant. Li Yifei was afraid he wouldn’t be able to handle it and would fall into the same spell as yesterday, so he didn’t dare to move.

Luckily, today Li Yifei was very resolute. He didn’t let his thoughts run wild, didn’t fall into the trance like he did yesterday.

After lounging around in bed for about an hour, Li Yifei finally dragged the unwilling, whining Meng Xiaofei out of bed, who insisted on letting Li Yifei sleep while she watched over him.

Standing on the floor, Meng Xiaofei glanced at Li Yifei’s pants, her eyes twinkled, she thought of a way to repay him, and said, "Brother Li, let me help you one more time, just one more time..."

Who ever asks for permission to help someone? Li Yifei smiled speechlessly, gave Meng Xiaofei a stare, turned and walked towards the bathroom, saying, "You also go back to your room to wash up, then we’ll go have breakfast!"

Meng Xiaofei following behind pouted, muttering, "What’s the big deal? They say once you’ve done it, the second time follows. It’s not like we haven’t done it before."

Li Yifei just wanted to rush out and give Meng Xiaofei another swat, but thinking better of it, he let it go. In some ways, Meng Xiaofei’s personality is similar to Chu Xiaoyao’s, playful and a bit clumsy and careless. Once is enough for this kind of thing; Li Yifei didn’t want it to happen more times. That wouldn’t just cross the line of a brother-sister relationship; it would ruin something pure. Li Yifei wasn’t thinking about so many things.
