Chapter 378: Army Merger and Yueyue's Nostalgia (R-18)
"Now that you're the Major General, you ready to hear what your task is?"
Xiaoyun asked in a serious tone, his face barely flinching as he tried to hold in the urge to laugh.
"I... Yes, sir."
Seeing Yiming saluting towards Xiaoyun despite being double his age, Yezi already started laughing.
"Ahem, I need to help me re-organize the army again."
"Yes, sir," Yiming yelled out loud.
As Xiaoyun saluted back and signaled him to sit, the two slid back onto the table next to Yezi.
"Okay, that was way harder to say than I expected... Yezi, stop laughing. You know how nervous I was?"
"I just can't——Seeing an old man saluting a boy is just too funny to me... Okay, I'll stop."
The table soon fell into a serious conversation as Xiaoyun took out a notebook and pen, getting ready to start writing new army reform.
A few hours later...
When the three came out of the kitchen table where chefs were supposed to eat their lunch, it was already three o'clock.
"You sure you don't want to see the soldiers more? Or at least give them a motivational speech?" Yezi asked as the three of them headed towards the gate.
"I'll do that tomorrow. I still have some work to catch up on first. Anyway, Yiming, I'll finish this myself. Thanks for the advice."
"No problem."
As Xiaoyun left the gates, Yezi and Yiming returned inside and headed towards the field, where the soldiers had been watching the whole time.
"What are you looking at? Get back to training."
"Yes, sir!"

As Xiaoyun walked around the streets, he started to examine all the buildings around him.
What used to be concrete block houses and wooden shacks were replaced by fully painted single-family homes.
Some were even two or three-story tall apartments, with people coming in and out of the buildings.
Almost every person on the street was unrecognizable, which helped him a lot, as he didn't need to worry about being watched like a panda.
Even the shops in the commercial districts had been painted with fully decorated signs that almost reminded him of streets before the outbreak.
However, it had more of an older street vibe, as the buildings all had electric wires running through them and electric poles at every corner.
As he continued walking, he finally arrived at the destination, the Department of Internal Security.
After showing his old ID and shocking the security guard, Xiaoyun walked straight towards Yueyue's office.
As soon as they saw Xiaoyun, more and more people's faces dropped, with some even waving at him.
With a short wave back to them, Xiaoyun slowly opened the door to Yueyue's office.
"This case is taking way too long; how can you still not find any leads to this——Oh hey, Xiaoyun."
In front of Yueyue was an average-looking man who looked to blend into any crowd. His head was facing down, and he clearly failed his mission.
"Hey Yueyue.. What's up with the angry voice?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he looked over to the man next to him.
"Well, there has been a small theft case, and for some reason, nothing is added to solve it.
Anyway, what brought you here? Shouldn't you be busy with Yuqi?" Yueyue asked as she waved the agent to leave.
With the agent closing the door behind him, Xiaoyun immediately rushed over to lift Yueyue from her seat.
"I came here to see you. What else do you think I came here for?" Xiaoyun replied as he put her onto his lap.
"Bullshit. Stop moving your hands. I still have a reputation to uphold, unlike somebody else in the office."
Yueyue quickly pushed Xiaoyun's hand away from her chest, her face blushing red as she remained seated on top of his lap.
"Fine. I came here to see how your work has been... Are there any big cases happening at all?"
Yueyue's face turned fully serious as she got up from his lap and went over to the cabinet to grab a stack of documents.
"Three big cases, twenty small cases, and over five hundred tiny cases," Yueyue replied as she laid it down on the desk.
"All of them solved?"
"Yeah. If we count the unsolved ones, including the one from the police stations, then it's one major case, five big cases.
Then an infinite amount of tiny cases that we can't even keep track of anymore."
Hearing Yueyue's answer, Xiaoyun got a little curious.
"What's the major case?"
"Someone has been smuggling drugs into our cities... I had sent over one hundred agents over to the local branch trying to find a culprit.
But there haven't been many leads. All we found were buyers and sellers. The suppliers are hidden way too well."
Noticing Yueyue looking down more and more, Xiaoyun didn't really know how to help her.
"If you need any resources, just ask, okay? I'm always here to help you." Xiaoyun stated as he gently patted her on the head.
"I know... Xiaoyun, do you want to hear the five big cases?" Yueyue suddenly suggested as she looked much more cheered up.
"Sure."
One hour later...
"So that is the mystery behind the missing food. It's usually just a small case, but since there's a rationing order, any food missing is automatically moved to a big case."
"I see... But didn't you say that was a small theft case?"
Yueyue's face blushed again as she got exposed, but her brain remained calm.
"It's still a small theft case in terms of the amount lost. I'm just saying in categorical terms, it's a big case."
"Sure... Anyway, do you want to go home now? It's almost six," Xiaoyun said after looking at the clock.
"Let's stay here for a bit longer. The sun is still so high up. Is it just me, or has the sun been up longer than usual?" Yueyue suddenly asked.
"Well, it's March. The closer to the summer, the closer the sun sets later. Did you not learn this in school?"
Seeing Xiaoyun looking at her as if he was looking at an idiot, Yueyue gently punched him in the chest in protest.
"Shut up. You and I are both the same grade." Yueyue argued as they shyly looked down at her lap.
"Same grade... It really has been two years since we're in school, hasn't it?" Xiaoyun murmured as he looked out the window.
"Yeah... We're probably about to graduate if we're still in school."
As the two looked out the window in silence, they couldn't help but feel nostalgic for the past.
"What do you think would have happened if the outbreak never happened?" Yueyue suddenly asked.
"Didn't you ask this already?" Xiaoyun replied.
"Really? When?"
The room fell into silence as Xiaoyun tried to think back to the past, digging through his memories regarding it.
"I told you this when we're out in the grass field. It was right after we went to the mansion to save people from the gangs."
"Oh, right... You said something super boring if I remember correctly."
"Yeah... I said I was just going to get a degree, get a job, and donate my money after I die."
"What kind of life goal is that?" Yueyue questioned.
"I don't know... I never had a goal in life when I was an orphan. I didn't really have much to live for."
Seeing Xiaoyun staring at the horizon in the distance, Yueyue decided to ask something deep inside her heart.
"Do you regret being with us?"
"What? What kind of question is that? Why would I regret being with you guys?
You guys gave me a purpose in life... I would have probably died right at the beginning of the outbreak if it weren't for you guys."
Hearing Xiaoyun's answer, Yueyue couldn't help but smile.
"Yeah, sure. You dying in the apocalypse is the last thing I can imagine..."
The silence once again appeared in the room until Yueyue spoke up again.
"Hey Xiaoyun..."
"What?"
"Do you love me?"
"What kind of question is that? When did you already have your mid-life crisis asking all these questions?" Xiaoyun jokingly asked.
"Come on, answer my question," Yueyue asked again, pushing Xiaoyun for an answer.
But Yueyue never got her answer in words as Xiaoyun kissed her right on the lips, with his left hand moving below her shirt.
As he began aggressively chasing her tongue, he began moving his other hand onto her thighs, unzipping her jeans all the way down.
Just from a gentle touch on the panties, Xiaoyun could feel she was already soaking wet inside.
"Are you that thirsty?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as the two separated.
"Shut up, your cock has been rubbing against me since the beginning. It's not my fault I'm getting turned on."
Yueyue argued, her face blushing red as she let Xiaoyun continue undressing her as he pulled both his jeans and panties to the floor.
"No one comes in here, right?" Xiaoyun asked to make sure.
"Most of them are usually not in the office. They all have outside missions... The one inside already went back home——Hm!"
Before Yueyue could finish, Xiaoyun had already inserted the tip inside, making her moan out a little.
