Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 425 Warmth
For Mountain Eagle, being busy is a normal state...

Some people just have a talent for keeping themselves busy, even if they know they need more free time...

The behavioral inertia of this kind of person will make him involuntarily strive for the dominant position in things, that is, to take responsibility when enjoying rights...

But the boss does not need to take responsibility. The boss only needs to bear the consequences while enjoying the rights. Only the employees need to take responsibility!
This is where Mr. Poincare always felt that the mountain eagle needed to be adjusted...

Because he displays the mentality of a worker, that is, he makes himself the one who solves the problem, rather than the one who mobilizes resources from a higher level.

Even if such a person is a workaholic, he will not be able to achieve great success in his career because his energy is limited.

Whether Shanying admits it or not, he does enjoy the feeling of control, because he only feels safe when things run and progress the way he wants.

Because in the past, even though he had held a senior position in a Fortune 500 company, he was actually still an employee.

Of course, the mountain eagle is aware of his problem, so he is seeking change, but he needs an anchor to hold him and remind him all the time, otherwise it will be of no use.

In fact, if the son had not been in trouble and the family had not been separated, his wife and children would have been the best anchors for the Mountain Eagle.

When he felt that he had to make time for his family, he would naturally seek another way to balance work and life, which was precisely the key factor in him changing his behavioral habits and moving towards maturity.

The key factors for everyone to mature are different. For someone like Shanying who has lacked family affection since childhood, his wife and children are his best anchors.

As a result, at his golden age and the best stage of his career, an accident interrupted everything, forcing him to start over in a completely new field.

But now things are a little different, because Luna appears...

This little girl who suddenly appeared seemed to have taken up a lot of Shanying's time, but in fact, she served as an anchor to some extent, balancing some of his psychological problems...

For example, Mountain Eagle completely ignored the internal problems of Indian tribal hunters...

In the past, if there was such a good opportunity, he would not only lead a group of women to work, he would also quickly intervene to establish his presence when these hunters realized some problems with their jobs.

Regardless of whether he really needs to lead these Indians, his behavioral inertia will prompt him to do such a thing.

And he pushed the investigation work near the Arctic Circle to Daniel, which would have been impossible in the past...

He would definitely take the initiative to go to the Arctic Circle, complete the investigation, and further influence Daniel through contact, prompting him to advance the next work according to his own ideas, but he did not do so now...

This is what children mean to adults!
Taking care of children may seem like it will delay a lot of things, but in fact it is not the case.

While the child distracted Shanying's attention, it also made him realize that some things were not something he had to do alone.

You raise him when he is young and he takes care of you when you are old. It is just an equal exchange. In fact, the relationship between children and parents is one of mutual achievement.

Because if parents truly love their children and the family relationship is relatively healthy, they will definitely feel that they are gradually being improved in the process of interacting with their children.

In any relationship, if you feel that you are getting better, then the relationship is healthy!
Shanying definitely didn't love Luna to the same extent as he loved his son, but Luna aroused something very important in his heart, which naturally prompted him to make changes.

After all, as long as the goal can be achieved, what does it matter if there are some flaws in the process?
Only by being able to tolerate and even accept flaws, and constantly making gains and achieving self-consistency, can one become a complete "Boss Yue", rather than a "Manager Yue" or even a "President Yue"!
Family affection is the targeted medicine to balance Shanying's desire for control and sense of responsibility. Only when he achieves inner balance can he give up the deeply rooted so-called "management framework" and let the people around him exert their abilities outside the framework.

The Butcher was a great squad leader, but now he has become a silent thug.

Daria received complete spy field training, but now she is just an assistant.

Did they use their abilities? Yes!
Is this their best? No!
It's not that they are not good enough, but that the boss Shanying is too strong. At the same time, he lacks the courage to tolerate the flaws in his subordinates' work and bear the consequences.

When Luna appeared and made Shanying unable to refuse, things began to develop in a completely new direction...

Luna's strong curiosity makes her curious about everything, and the mountain eagle is her encyclopedia.

At night, when Luna was sleeping, she lay on a camp bed and strongly requested the Eagle to move the two bear cubs' houses into the tent. Then she lay on her side and watched the Eagle...

"Dad, why do we live in a tent?"

"Because my wooden house is not finished yet..."

"Dad, why is the Yukon River so big out there?"

"........."

"Daddy, can I have the bear in bed?"

"........."

Faced with a hundred thousand whys, Shanying surprisingly did not feel impatient. He did not know the answers to some of the questions, so he just made up some random answers, and Luna seemed very satisfied...

He originally wanted to coax Luna to sleep before he went to sleep, but he didn't expect that he fell asleep first.

The sleeping mountain eagle had a dream. He dreamed that he lived with his son in Alaska, taught him how to shoot, hunt, and fish...

The good life continued until it started to rain in Alaska. The low pressure made him feel a little breathless, and his wet body made him feel a little cold... Mountain Eagle, who was immersed in a beautiful dream, woke up helplessly, and then he found that Luna had climbed onto his bed at some point, and was lying on his chest like a koala, smacking her mouth from time to time, leaving a large pool of saliva on Mountain Eagle's chest.

Feeling a little itchy on his feet, the mountain eagle looked up and saw two skinny little bears licking his stinky, unwashed feet. It seemed that they particularly liked the smell.

The sleeping bag was kicked to the ground next to the camp bed. Shanying reached out to pull up the sleeping bag, but found that it was wet...

Only then did the mountain eagle realize that the 'rain' might not be an illusion...

He reached out and touched Luna's little butt, and found that her pants were also wet, so he could only smile bitterly and kick away the two little bears that were attached to his smelly feet. Then he carefully sat up and gently put Luna on the bed, and then covered her with a clean sleeping bag...

After Shanying got up, he found that the side of his pants was also wet. Then he realized that Luna must have been squeezed on his side at first, and only moved to his chest after she wet her sleeping bag and felt uncomfortable.

It's not common for a four-year-old to wet the bed, so Shanying didn't think it was a bother. He changed his clothes, took out his sleeping bag, and found a place to hang it up to dry. Then he got a few sets of small military uniforms suitable for Luna and brought them to the bed, hoping to wake her up and let her change into them...

Seeing the sleepy Luna open her palm, she hugged her arm with her nose twitching and continued to sleep soundly...

Shanying smiled and pinched Luna's little nose. He watched her scratch her face like a lazy kitten, then turned over and twisted her body into a strange shape and stretched it. Then she opened her sleepy eyes and hummed like a pig...

Shanying grabbed her neck and made her sit up. He put a pillow behind her and wiped her face with a hot towel...

"Little lazy boy, get up and change your clothes, you wet the bed..."

Luna was stunned for a moment, staring at the eagle with her eyes wide open, and said in panic: "I'm sorry, I forgot to wear a diaper..."

Shanying looked at the panicked look on the little girl's face. He frowned and said, "Diapers?"

When Luna heard this, she grabbed Shanying's hand and said in panic, "Dad, I will remember to wear diapers in the future. I promise not to wet the bed anymore. Don't be angry..."

Shanying looked at Luna who suddenly seemed like a different person. He frowned and said, "Angry? Diaper?"

As he spoke, Shanying suddenly remembered the place where he first met Luna: a big tent and many small cages...

There is no toilet or other facilities inside, so in order to prevent children from wetting the bed and increase the workload, diapers are the best choice.

Seeing Luna's instinctive panic, Shanying realized something instantly. He reached out and hugged Luna in his arms, saying gently, "What's the problem with wetting the bed?
It’s all because there’s no toilet in our tent. When our cabin is repaired, I’ll prepare a beautiful toilet for you so you can go there when you feel uncomfortable at night.

Daddy, there is no cage here, you can do whatever you feel comfortable with, okay?"

Perhaps it was the gentleness of the mountain eagle that made Luna feel at ease. After the little girl confirmed that she would not be punished for wetting the bed, she grinned at the mountain eagle...

"Dad, I promise not to wet the bed..."

Shanying put a new set of clothes on the bed and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you pee!
But girls should be clean and smell good. Wait here for a moment, I'll ask Aunt Dalia to come and help you wash.

Then we'll go hunting after breakfast, and I'll teach you how to use a gun...

No one will bully you anymore!"

Luna looked at Shanying and said uncertainly, "Dad, you're not angry?"

Shanying nodded as a matter of course and said, "Of course I'm not angry..."

Luna listened and said carefully: "Then can you not leave?"

Shanying was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "I won't leave, I will sit at the door of the tent to protect you, and by the way, help you make some fish porridge...

You are the first person to taste the fish porridge I made!"

Luna clearly felt Shanying's concern for her, and she finally regained her cheerful self from yesterday...

"Dad, what is fish porridge?"

While trying to answer Luna's questions, Shanying called Dalia who had already woken up on the radio.

When Dalia walked into the tent with a bucket of hot water in her hand, Shanying walked to the door and kept his promise to wait there...

He took out a small wood stove that he had bought at an outdoor goods store, called Jesse, who had been hanging around early in the morning, and asked him to bring a salmon and some firewood. He also sent the young man to lead the two bears to the female reindeer to drink milk.

Fry the salmon head, take out the bones after it boils and mix it with Barron's dog food, then give it a spoonful of not-too-thick soup as its breakfast.

Pour the washed rice into the soup pot and simmer slowly, add a little salt and pepper for seasoning, then cut the two pieces of fish into translucent slices, and put the fish slices in when the porridge is almost cooked...

It’s actually rice soaked in fish soup!

But as the fragrance appeared, a strange warm feeling spread into the tent...

Luna didn't know how to express herself, so she washed herself, changed into new clothes, and moved a small stool to sit beside the mountain eagle. Whenever the mountain eagle looked at her, she would smile brightly...
