Xia Ning finds that Yi Yunrui holds the phone for quite a while but doesn’t answer it . She asks, “Is it…inconvenient?”

“No . ” Yi Yunrui shakes his head . He presses the button, “Commander!”
“Rui, how is your injury?” a deep and hoarse voice is heard .
“It is nothing serious . Commander, do you have anything important to talk with me?”
“I will wait for you in my office . ”
“OK . ” Then, Yi Yunrui hangs up .
Yi Yunrui looks serious . Xia Ning feels a little worried, “Anything urgent? Are you going back to the military region soon?”
Yi Yunrui nods, “I need to go there . Ning, you may arrange your own time . I will come back when I finish . ”
Xia Ning can’t help laughing, “Don’t worry . You may go to work . I am not a kid . You don’t need to worry about me . ”
“Zhang Hai, go back to the military region . ”
“Yes, Commander!”
It is in the headquarters of the military region .
Yi Yunrui enters the office . He smells the rich flavor of coffee at once . Commander Xie is sitting there with a cup of newly done coffee on the table .
“Commander!” Yi Yunrui makes a salute politely .
“Rui . Have a seat!” Commander Xie says . He stands up and takes another cup for the coffee and passes it to Yi Yunrui .
Yi Yunrui looks at the black coffee . He frowns and feels a sudden pain in his chest .
“Oh!” Commander Xie suddenly pats his head, “I forget that you are injured and can’t drink coffee . My mistake . Sorry . ”
Commander Xie takes back the coffee in front of Yi Yunrui and gives him a cup of water instead .

“Commander, I don’t drink bitter coffee . I like sweet coffee . ” Yi Yunrui says frankly .
Commander Xie feels a little surprised . He smiles, “Do you learn it from your wife?”
“You love a house, and you love the crow in it, too . ”
They look at each other and smile understandingly .
Yi Yunrui sits down . He takes up the cup to drink a mouthful of water . He feels it a little uncomfortable in his chest . Seemingly, the medicine is losing its effect .
“Let me see . ” Commander Xie slightly closes his eyes . Suddenly he opens his eyes again and says in surprise, “Rui, it is only a week later and you are running everywhere . Even though you are young and strong, you should not hurt yourself in this way . ”
“Commander, I held my wedding ceremony yesterday . ”
“Oh! Sorry . I couldn’t come back yesterday . Rui, I am really sorry that I didn’t attend your wedding ceremony . Anyway, I may send my best wishes as well . I wish you and Miss Xia becoming parents soon!”
Yi Yunrui twitches his lips . Commander Xie is really direct .
“Hahaha!” Yi Yunrui’s tiny changes in his expression are caught by Commander Xie, “You need to have a kid to complete a family . Rui, you have still got some mission to complete . ”
Yi Yunrui glances at Commander Xie’s grey hairs . Commander Xie is over sixty . After his wife died of illness, he has been alone for tens of years . He doesn’t have any kids . He is a lonely man .
In the aspect of having a family mission to complete, actually, Commander Xie has it, more urgently .
“Hum . I will work hard . ” Yi Yunrui responds, “Commander tells me to come here for any special arrangements?”
“I have just come back from the central government and heard some rumors . ” Commander Xie says . He crooks his fingers to beckon to Yi Yunrui to get closer, “Rui, someone is going against you, seriously . ”
Yi Yunrui is a little amused, “I know . Don’t you also always know?”
It is time for it . It is time for action .
“Oh…I have known it all the time . Well . Look at me . I am a useless old man now . ” Commander Xie shakes his head . He seems to feel “regretful”, “Anyway, I remember it now . Hum . Boy, it is time for you to have some hard time . You are not supposed to be always so proud . ”

Yi Yunrui twitches his eyebrows . He puts down the cup, “Commander, has he started taking any moves?”
“Yes!” Commander Xie nods, “He has . Rui . Be careful! I, Commander Xie will only look on and do nothing in order to protect myself . ”
“Hum . I understand . ” Yi Yunrui restrains his smile . Commander Xie is his senior, supervisor and a good friend . He is a nice and funny talker . Yi Yunrui is clear that Commander Xie may say something right the opposite of his mind, “Commander, don’t worry . I can manage that . ”
“That is good . I may buy some snacks and get my chair prepared to watch the performance . I have to warn you . Don’t you ever screw it up . Or, I will throw eggs at you . ”
“If I screw it up, you may not throw eggs at me . You can consider throwing coins . ” Yi Yunrui thinks for a while and says slowly .
“You boy have so much money . Do you still want to get some from your commander? Well… . ” Commander Yi trembles his fingers to point at Yi Yunrui, “Well . I won’t argue with you about this . Hum . The coffee smells really nice . Real men should drink bitter coffee!”
Yi Yunrui feels embarrassed . The Commander is obviously meaning that Yi Yunrui is not a real man .
“Those who are considerate to their wives are real men . ” He responds indifferently .
“Ugh . ” Commander Xie puts down the coffee . He takes several tissues to wipe his mouth, “Well . You win!”
Commander Xie lost his wife tens of years ago . He doesn’t have a wife to be considerate to!
Yi Yunrui is saying that Commander Xie can’t be a real man!
“We both win . ”
Commander Xie wipes the coffee sprayed out, “Rui, it is going to be tough because many people will get involved . Some of them are related to great power…Well . Do you have confidence in that?”
“Yes . ” Yi Yunrui responds without hesitation .
“Good! You boy is brave . You are my man . ” Commander Xie sticks up his thumb and praises him “The central government does say it clearly, but I believe you know what to do . This time, I will see you guys fight . Anyway, I prepare some excellent fighters for you . They are brave and clever . You may make use of them . I will wait for your good news . ”
Yi Yunrui slightly lifts his lips, “Commander, thank you . ”
Knight XV stops by a supermarket and Xia Ning gets off, “Zhang Hai, you may go back to the military region for your orders . ”

“Mrs . Yi, the commander told me to stay with you . You don’t need to worry about the commander . He will call me when he finishes . ”
Zhang Hai gets off the car, “Mrs . Yi, I will help you carry the things . ”
Xia Ning twitches her lips . Seemingly, Commander Yi sends Zhang Hai to keep watch on her .
“Zhang Hai, I am a woman going shopping . It is inconvenient to bring you with me . And, other people may misunderstand . ”
Hearing this, Zhang Hai hesitates for a while, “It is fine . Mrs . Yi, I will keep some distance from you . You won’t notice me at all!”
He is really confident with his tracking skills .
Xia Ning rolls her eyes, “Do you have to follow me?”
Zhang Hai curls his lips, “Yes . That’s the commander’s order . ”
“Fine . You may do it . However, I warn you in advance . Don’t complain about carrying too many things . ” Xia Ning threatens him .
Zhang Hai stands at attention at once, “Mrs . Yi, don’t worry . I will take the tough work . I will finish the mission!”
Then, Zhang Hai who wears an army uniform politely follows Xia Ning and they enter the supermarket, where they attract a lot of attention .
“Well . Zhang, can you be easier? You don’t need to be so serious . ” Xia Ning glances around and says in a low voice .
Zhang Hai blinks his eyes, “Well . Well…Mrs . Yi, to be honest, I work at computer programming . I am good at rational thinking, while weak at sensitive thinking . If the commander hadn’t nominated to have me, I would have stayed in that department where I almost say nothing all day long . I rarely go shopping with women . Hum . ”
In the end, Zhang Hai giggles . Xia Ning understands . Seemingly, Zhang is tense because of nervousness .
She understands the burden of Zhang Hai, but it is really weird to have a “robot” walking behind…
“Zhang, do you have any friends?”
“Yes, I have . ” Zhang Hai nods, “I seldom speak, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that I have problems in communication . I have a lot of friends . ”
“Good . Then, you may regard me as your good friend . We are two good friends shopping now . Can it help you relax?”
Zhang Hai thinks seriously for a while and nods, “OK . I see . ”
Then, Zhang Hai looks much normal . He is still polite, but they don’t attract so much attention any longer .
Xia Ning comes to the supermarket because she wants to buy some food to boil some soup for Yi Yunrui’s recovery . But, soon, the things she picks have fully filled a shopping cart . She doesn’t notice it until Zhang Hai says, “Mrs . Yi, please wait for a minute . I go to get another cart . ”
“No need . It is already too much . ” Xia Ning looks at the things and shakes her head . Shopping is a born ability of women . Nothing can stop them .
Xia Ning is going to pay the bill when she finds many people standing in front and almost blocking the path .
Anything happens?
Xia Ning is curious . She goes towards the crowd .
“Mrs . Yi . ” Zhang Hai hurriedly stops Xia Ning, “There are too many people there . Don’t go that way . We may pay the bill and go home . ”
Xia Ning hesitates for a while . Zheng Hai is thinking of protecting her . However, she really wants to find out what happens there .
“Sorry, it is my fault . Sorry . But I really have my purse stolen . So, I don’t have money to pay for it . I didn’t do it on purpose . Please believe me . OK?”
Xia Ning is thinking of leaving or not when someone in the crowd speaks . The Chinese he speaks sounds to have some American accent . Seemingly, he is a foreigner .
Xia Ning curiously goes forwards .
The air smells like wine . A bottle of expensive foreign wine is broken on the ground . Xia Ning glances around . They are in the high-class foreign wine booth .
“Sir, excuse me . You said that your purse had been stolen . Can you tell me a phone number of your relatives or friends? You can ask one of them to pay for the bill . ” A clerk dressing like a manager says .
“Relatives? Friends…” The foreigner tries hard to think for a while and then he shakes his head honestly, “Sorry, I can’t remember any of their phone numbers . God!”
