Seven days later, in the afternoon, the private ward was bathed in warm light. The curtains were half-drawn, filtering the sunlight into soft spots that fell between the bed and the floor. There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, but it was somewhat diluted by the warmth.
Having spent the last few days together in the same room, Xiao Fei, who was initially a little shy, had long since gotten used to his presence. The initial awkwardness gradually faded away, and she developed a quiet longing for this ambiguous distance.
As he raised his hand, it brushed against the ends of her hair, carrying a cool, refreshing scent.
As she lowered her eyes, her fingertips accidentally touched his sleeve. The warmth hidden beneath the rough fabric stirred a subtle ripple in her eyes, revealing an unconscious expectation. She even unconsciously softened her breathing.
She was secretly hoping for such a moment.
His palm landed with just the right amount of warmth, which spread along the skin, like a gentle warmth seeping into the bones.
His demon-subduing skills became increasingly refined and fluid. In just a short while, Xiao Fei's fingertips trembled slightly, her eyelashes fluttered like startled butterfly wings, a soft, dreamy look appeared between her brows, her cheeks flushed slightly, and even her breathing became long and shallow.
She didn't dare to look up, only daring to steal glances at him out of the corner of her eye.
Her fingertips brushed against his wrist by chance, and the warmth made her heart skip a beat. Her ears instantly burned, and she quickly withdrew her hand, pretending to casually adjust the hem of her clothes. But her heart was pounding like a rabbit.
Feng Yuxiu's heart stirred slightly. When his gaze swept over her shoulder, he was surprised to find that she and Li Xuanxuan were so similar in figure, except that her skin was whiter and more translucent, like jade soaking in warm water.
Perhaps because she often stays indoors and receives less outdoor sunlight, she has an added touch of delicate fragility, and even her reddened ear tips look pitiful.
"Cough cough..."
Miao Lian coughed lightly, abruptly pulling both of them back to reality.
Feng Yuxiu paused slightly at the tip of his finger, and the dazed look in his eyes quietly disappeared.
Xiao Fei, like a startled deer, suddenly raised her eyes, met his deep gaze, and then quickly lowered them again, burying her face even lower, her neck flushed a faint pink, which was particularly noticeable in the warm light, but her heartbeat just wouldn't calm down.
"Oh, so you've come to tell me that you met a drug lord's daughter during the exercise. Go on."
Miao Lian nodded. "These key members of the group can move freely both domestically and internationally. However, the situation in Yuanshan Town is very complicated. They have even formed a stronghold, just like the impregnable Tazhai Village of yesteryear."
"All the informants we've infiltrated over the years have been killed; the enemy's methods are extremely cruel. So we plan to have you infiltrate."
"Wait a moment."
Feng Yuxiu interrupted Miao Lian's continued speaking, "It would be much better to let Xiao Zhuang go. According to your analysis, Xiao Zhuang developed feelings for Ma Ling during this exercise. In addition, Ma Ling thought that Xiao Zhuang was a wanted criminal who was wanted throughout the entire process, so it would be easy for him to get in."
Miao Lian gave a wry smile. "If there's no better option, Xiao Zhuang could indeed go in. But isn't this... you're the better option? Xiao Zhuang is too young and immature. Besides, if you go in, your skills are more than enough to ensure your safety."
This is a top secret matter, and outsiders are not supposed to be present.
But Xiao Fei's grandfather was a former high-ranking official, and no one understood the matter of secrecy better than him.
"Since you know they're drug lords, why not just raze them to the ground? Why go in? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
"It's easy to say, and it's simple to infiltrate them, but their industrial chain is huge. It's easy to arrest a few people and execute a few high-profile criminals. But the problem is, once we finally manage to keep an eye on them and alert foreign forces, it becomes complicated to find them again."
"You're going in to find evidence. Once you know their supply chain, then... wouldn't it be simple to flatten them?"
Feng Yuxiu frowned; this was a good thing.
"There's another reason why we let you in. When you lost your memory in Wangdu Village, foreign forces sent several people to look for you. Their deployment was controlled by this group, meaning that part of the reason they wanted to kill you back then was because of people from this group."
Feng Yuxiu finally smiled. "As long as the evidence is found, we don't care whether they live or die?"
Miao Lian was clearly unaware of Feng Yuxiu's personality and was stunned by his words. After a long while, he reacted and said, "Of course, they are all drug lords, and they deserve to die."
"Regardless of age or gender?"
Miao Lian hesitated.
"Although they were all involved in drug trafficking, those small-time..."
"Alright, I agree. What kind of status will I have when I go in?"
Miao Lian smiled, "That's simple. We'll create a few accidents. That Ma Ling is a simple-minded person obsessed with love. After a few incidents, she'll..."
"another."
Xiao Fei had just shown a look of anxiety when Feng Yuxiu immediately interrupted her.
It's not about whether Xiao Fei is present or not; Feng Yuxiu's women have to obey him.
If you dare to act all effeminate, then goodbye.
The reason Li Xuanxuan has become distant recently is because of her meddlesome mother.
It's greasy.
He simply felt that this way of getting in was too low-class.
"No rush, we can find an opportunity slowly."
The high school team interrupted Miao Lian's intended question.
"You need to rest for three months, and then Team B will carry out a mission."
Feng Yuxiu looked at the high school team.
Seeing this, Miao Lian wisely stood up, turned around, and walked out. Team leader Gao turned to look at Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei chuckled, "I'm his full-time caregiver in the ward, so I can't leave."
As the girl's figure receded into the distance, Captain Gao sighed helplessly. In any case, it was her grandfather who had given her the assignment.
"Three months from now, you will be going to the southwestern border region, where there is a gang of armed drug lords."
"This is also the first time that Lone Wolf Team B has participated in modern warfare, and you personally led the team... This time, the code name is: Jungle Wolf."
Feng Yuxiu sighed, "Drug lords, drug lords, can't they come up with something new? The three major military regions are always involved with drug lords."
"Any thing else?"
The high school team leader nodded. "It's alright, we'll wait until you're discharged from the hospital."
After saying that, he turned and walked out. Feng Yuxiu was awarded a first-class merit again for this exercise.
The other team members received second-class merit awards, as did the Lone Wolf B Group as a collective second-class merit award.
Already very good.

Click.
The door closed, Feng Yuxiu stretched, turned to look at Xiao Fei, who was wearing a pink nurse's uniform, and gave her a meaningful smile.
He immediately stood up, walked to the door, and locked it from the inside.
Click.
The sound of the spring made Xiaofei's heart skip a beat. She instinctively took two steps back, her voice choked with sobs, "What are you going to do...?"
Feng Yuxiu smiled. "I've recovered one of my functions, and I need you to try it... Are you... willing?"
Xiao Fei lowered her head, her face turning red instantly. Before, she was the one eagerly waiting for Feng Yuxiu, hoping for his return.
He would always angrily curse this person in the middle of the night, calling him an ice shard.
Now look what happened, this person, after experiencing life and death, has turned into a volcano.
She felt unwell all over for the past seven days due to the fever.
"You have to be obedient. I don't like disobedient people."
Feng Yuxiu stepped forward and gently lifted Mao Xiaofei's chin with his right hand.
In an instant, Mao Xiaofei's face flushed red, and she closed her eyes in extreme shyness.
His warm breath brushed against her cheek, carrying the faint scent of disinfectant mixed with sunshine, making Xiaofei's heart beat faster. Her fingertips unconsciously clenched the hem of her nurse's uniform, causing the fabric to wrinkle deeply.
Feng Yuxiu's fingertips, calloused from the touch, gently caressed her delicate jawline. The movement wasn't forceful, yet it carried an irresistible strength. His gaze fell on her tightly closed eyelashes, watching them tremble gently like startled butterfly wings, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Why are you closing your eyes?
His voice lowered, carrying a hint of hoarse magnetism, and was exceptionally clear in the quiet hospital room, "Afraid I'll eat you up?"
Xiao Fei's cheeks burned even hotter, as if she were holding a small furnace. Even her ears turned bright red, and her lips formed a pink arc. She turned her head away, trying to avoid his touch, but he gently pressed down on the back of her neck, making her unable to move.
"I...I didn't..."
Her voice was so soft it was barely audible, even to herself. Her mind was a jumble of thoughts, one moment recalling his cold and indifferent demeanor from the past, the next his increasingly aggressive behavior these past few days. These two images intertwined, sending a warm sensation through her body.
Looking at her embarrassed yet adorable appearance, Feng Yuxiu's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. His fingertips slowly moved to her earlobe, gently pinching it. The soft and tender touch stirred his heart.
"Didn't you always want me to talk to you?"
He leaned closer, his breath almost brushing against her earlobe, "Now that your chance has come, why are you chickening out?"
Xiao Fei felt even more embarrassed by his words. She suddenly opened her eyes and met his deep, dark eyes, which clearly reflected her image, filled with a burning heat that made her heart flutter.
She hurriedly closed her eyes again, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness: "Don't...don't do this..."
Feng Yuxiu chuckled softly, the sound sending a slight shiver through his chest. He withdrew his hand, took a half-step back, creating some distance, but his gaze remained fixed on her, filled with an unyielding possessiveness.
"I just recovered, and the doctor said I can't overexert myself. Wait... wait until you're feeling better, okay..." Mao Xiaofei's heart was pounding as she said this, "At least... at least not here..."
Feng Yuxiu smiled and pinched Mao Xiaofei's bright red earlobe. "I'm being discharged from the hospital today. You mean we should find a formal occasion after I'm fully recovered?"
Xiao Fei did not refute, and kept her head down.
Feng Yuxiu turned around and opened the door. "Just kidding, I'm not feeling well yet."
He had undergone surgery, and his wound had not yet healed. If he did strenuous exercise, the wound would definitely reopen.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her tense body gradually relaxing, but she also felt inexplicably disappointed. She secretly opened one eye to look at him, only to meet his ambiguous smile. Startled, she quickly closed her eyes again, her cheeks turning as red as if they were about to bleed.
Before they knew it, evening had fallen. The afterglow cast long, long shadows of the two figures, their forms intertwining and disappearing against the distant corner of the wall. (End of Chapter)
