"Wait, don''t send reinforcement!——Blown the entrance! Don''t worry about us commander——"

As the static sounds continuously played, everyone in the crowd felt powerless to speak up.

"Everyone is dismissed... You may take a break until next Monday."

The officer reattached his walkie-talkie to the side as all the soldiers started heading out of the camp center.

Everyone could feel the grim mood as they still couldn''t believe their comrades would just die like that.

The fresh recruits were the most nervous as they headed back inside their tent with their comrades.

Even though the veterans could tell the newbies were nervous, there wasn''t much they could do besides letting them tough it out on their own.

Any words wouldn''t change the fact that they had experienced the losses they had today, but life must move forward.

Numbness already had filled their heart.

They had already lost countless friends in the past in various minor events, which far exceeded what was lost today.

It was just a small chapter in their day, a day that would soon pass away until something happened that would change their mind.

Meanwhile, back in Luoping...

Experience new stories with M V L

As Xiaoyun and Yuqi started walking back from their work for the day, his phone suddenly started ringing.

"Hou Qin, what''s wrong?"

"Something happened in the frontline that you might want to check——"

"Is it an emergency?"

"No——"

"Then I''ll check it tomorrow morning."

As Xiaoyun hung up the phone, Yuqi tightly held onto his right arm as if she did not care about people looking at them on the streets.

"What was it?" Yuqi curiously asked as she leaned her head onto his shoulder.

"Just some work for tomorrow... Stop leaning so close. Everyone on the street is just looking at us."

Xiaoyun''s voice started to sound a little nervous, as every person they walked past was staring at them as if they were some exotic animal.

"So what? They can look all they want. We''re already married anyway."

"When did you become so clingy?"

Xiaoyun''s point finally made Yuqi let go, but she only got more aggressive as she jumped right onto his back.

"What''s this for——"

"I just want to be with you, okay?"

This time, Xiaoyun didn''t say anything back, letting her piggyback on his back as he held onto her thighs.

After walking for a bit, Yuqi suddenly tried to hop off just a few steps away from Huayi''s house.

"Let me go," Yuqi complained as Xiaoyun held onto her thighs tightly, preventing her from even moving in the slightest.

"Now you want to be all shy and get off. Too bad. Open the door for me."

Seeing Yuqi refusing to get her key, Xiaoyun knocked on the door with his elbow instead.

Soon, the door was opened.

"Welcome——Is there something wrong with Yuqi?" Leyan concernedly asked as she hurried the two inside.

"So I''m the only one here who can''t eat any spicy at all?"

Xiaoyun murmured after seeing all of their trays were now all spicy shaokao straight from the grill.

"I can''t eat spicy either——No, you can definitely eat spicy. Don''t lie to yourself to make him feel better."

Tianci''s eyes shifted color for a second, with her words piercing right through Xiaoyun''s heart.

"I guess I really am the only one... Fuck."

"It''s okay, Xiaoyun. A lot of my family members don''t eat any spicy food at all back in Germany."

Anna''s comfort seemed to have worked as his face finally showed up a little smile.

"Look, I''m not the outlier. You guys are the weird ones for eating spicy food in Guangdong."

Xiaoyun argued as he continued eating his non-spicy shaokao, burying his mouth with more and more to hide the need to say anything else.

"Yeah, sure... Huayi, do you have any wines or beer? It''s a perfect time to have a little drink today."

"Sure!"

As Huayi moved away from being surrounded by kids and headed to the backyard freezer, Leyan nudged Yuqi to get it herself.

"Get some for us too."

"I''ll go help you."

As Xiaoyun and Yuqi both headed towards Huayi for the drinks, Leyan suddenly turned over to Tianci.

"You sure you want to drink?" Leyan raised her concern as Tianci''s belly was starting to become visible.

"It''s fine. I can block it completely from being absorbed in my body."

Tianci replied as her voice suddenly changed, with her slightly red pupil appearing, indicating the switch.

"Kate, Anna, can you two drink?" Yueyue asked as she turned to the two of them.

"I don''t see why not. We aren''t pregnant——"

Just as Kate finished talking, she suddenly stopped for a second before letting out a sigh.

"Nevermind. I need to go check something later first."

Hearing Kate''s answer, Anna''s face started changing as she stared right towards her face.

"What do you mean you need to check? You didn''t wear protection?" Anna questioned.

"I just sometimes forget, okay?"

"What do you mean you forget? You said to me that we aren''t going to get pregnant until next year——"

"I never said that."

"Bullshit!"

As the two of them started infighting, all of Xiaoyun''s wives decided to watch on the side.

"What are they arguing about?" Yuqi curiously asked as she and Xiaoyun finally came back with the drinks.

"About getting pregnant. Thank you for the drink, Huayi." Wuli bowed a little in gratitude as Huayi headed back with the kids.

"No problem."

After a short debate, the two seem to have gotten over it, as they both refuse the drink offer in the end.

However, a certain individual had a completely different story.

"Xiaoyun, give me the drink!" Tianci complained as she tried to grab it out of Xiaoyun''s hand.

"Nope, you ain''t getting it. No drinks for you. I don''t care if you can separate it from your body."
