The days in the guest house were slow and boring.
Fortunately, news came quickly from Tang Yi’s side. Lu Jingyan had ample opportunity to make connections during Lu Yunye’s absence, and there was a high probability that landmines would be detonated during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
After reading the message, Lu Yunye clicked delete calmly, and said to the lump huddled under the blanket: “We can go back next week.”
Go back and watch the beginning of the show.
Hearing the news, Shi Yi just curled up on the bed and lazily responded, feeling a little listless.
Because the guest house is in the middle of nowhere and he can’t go out, he can only stay in the small three-story building. Each day is spent drawing and sleeping, making him feel very lazy.
Omegas aren’t physically active to begin with. They like to eat high-calorie food and accumulate fat. But alphas are restless. Lu Yunye will exercise with the recruits for several hours every day, and come back sweaty.
Lu Yunye had just changed into his sportswear, and when he saw this, he came to Shi Yi’s bed, “Come out with me for some exercise.”
“No…” Shi Yi refused. “I still have a draft to finish.”
“You can draw after we finish,” Lu Yunye took his tablet away. “Your glands are developing, and the doctor also said to exercise more. Did you forget?”
Shi Yi: …
It is undeniable that what Lu Yunye said is true. Plus, the development of glands may help him recover his past memories. After considering it for a while, Shi Yi agreed, “But I don’t want to run.”
Lu Yunye sounded a little helpless: “…then we won’t run, I’ll take you to have some fun.”
Sure enough, Lu Yunye did not take him to the track, but to an indoor shooting range. Tiny explosions like the sound of firecrackers could be heard just standing outside.
The shooting instructor immediately greeted them when he saw them: “Captain Lu.”
The instructor was from Lu Yunye’s sniper squad, and one of Lu Yunye’s direct reports. When seeing him, he habitually called out ‘captain’.
“Bring two Black Star 92s here,” Lu Yunye ordered, “Ordinary training bullets.”
The Black Star 92 is the easiest pistol among the short pistols. The gun body is slender and smooth, with a jet-black luster. It was Lu Yunye’s favorite pistol before he was discharged from the army.
“Okay.” The instructor replied, “I’ll find two recruits to play with you.”
“No, we can do it ourselves.” Lu Yunye said.
Although he said he didn’t need anyone to accompany him, the recruits in the shooting range couldn’t hold back when they saw him. They craned their brains one by one, wanting to see the rumored power of Lieutenant Colonel Lu.
Moreover, the news that Lu Yunye was looking for an omega a few days ago had quietly spread among the soldiers. They had never seen Shi Yi before, so they were all curious to see what the little omega who fascinated their Lieutenant Colone Lu looked like.
Shi Yi was unaware of these gazes. Even though he didn’t like sports, guns were irresistible to every man. The shiny black barrel and the solemn shooting range aroused the fighting spirit in his veins.
The pistol was brought over quickly, and Shi Yi shook it in his hand. It felt heavy. Although there were no bullets, it still made people feel dark and fierce.
Lu Yunye looked down at him. The omega held the gun like a layman, with one hand holding the handle and the other holding the barrel and slowly stroking…
Shi Yi’s hands are slender and weak, and didn’t look suited for holding a gun. He stroked the muzzle of the gun with a few fingers, and his skin became colder and paler against the background of the gun.
The steel bar is the bone, and the white jade is the meat. The image was full of temptation.
Lu Yunye swallowed unconsciously, and he took the gun from Shi Yi’s hand. “We need to check it first.”
After he finished speaking, his hands moved like a blur – it was almost impossible for anyone to see how the action was completed. The short pistol, which was glowing with black light just now, turned into a pile of parts.
After checking that there is no problem in every detail, the parts were assembled again.
Even though he knew that there wouldn’t be any problems with the guns in the army, he still felt uneasy about Shi Yi using them. After all, squibs or misfires are even more dangerous to novice gun holders.
“Try again?” Lu Yunye returned the gun to him.
When Shi Yi was in college, he played some shooting games with his roommates, but his posture was clearly that of a layman, making some of the observing recruits laugh quietly.
Even though the smiles were non-malicious, Shi Yi’s ears couldn’t help turning pink.
“Hold it like this…” A deep voice came from above his head. Lu Yunye stuck behind him, helping him adjust the posture of his fingers.
Holding a gun looks easy, but he didn’t know how difficult it was until this moment. A pistol weighs three or four catties, and holding it with straight arms for a long time is quite tiring.
Lu Yunye supported his forearm with his big palm, and at the same time straightened his shoulder blades. “Straighten your back.”
Somehow, Lu Yunye became serious after entering the shooting range. After being manipulated by him, Shi Yi’s posture finally looked correct, but his arms and legs felt even more sore, and he couldn’t help trembling a little.
“Don’t shake.” Lu Yunye kicked his feet to the sides. “Separate them so that you can stand firmly.”
Shi Yi was supported by his arms and waist, with one leg inserted between his feet, like a puppet. Just as he was about to resist, Lu Yunye’s breath came over him.
“Look here.” The distance was too close, and alpha’s voice was a little hoarse, with an irresistible force.
Shi Yi subconsciously looked at the front sight, and his field of vision narrowed to a small point, which instantly extended to dozens of meters away.
“Your eyes, the crosshairs and the target must be on the same straight line.” Lu Yunye leaned over his ear, hooked his finger at the same time, and brought it to the trigger.
“You can try shooting.”
With a bang, Shi Yi was shocked and stepped back, completely pressing against Lu Yunye’s chest.
“How is it?” He forgot the oppressive feeling from alpha, and looked at the target paper with great interest, which was in the middle of the fourth and fifth rings.
Shi Yi was a little disappointed: “Ah, it’s so difficult.”
“Very good,” Lu Yunye said, “It’s not easy to hit the target the first time.”
“Really?” Shi Yi’s eyes lit up again.
“En, do you want to try again?”
The surrounding recruits have changed from chuckling to full of incredulity. When teaching them how to shoot, hitting four rings is a terrible outcome. What nonsense is Lieutenant Colonel Lu talking about?
Even the instructor was in a daze.
Lu Yunye’s training style has always been strict, and he will call you out if your movements are even slightly out of shape. Extra training and running laps are commonplace during his classes.
Who is this gentle alpha? Definitely not their Instructor Lu.
The students who wanted to take the opportunity to learn from him left disappointed, because he didn’t come to teach at all!
Shi Yi tried a few more times by himself, but he either missed the target or hit elsewhere.
By the end, his whole body was stiff and he never came close to the bullseye.
“I can’t shoot well.” Shi Yi shook his hands with a bitter face. “My wrists are sore.”
Something unspeakable flashed through Lu Yunye’s mind, and he quickly covered the unnatural expression on his face.
“Cough…” He coughed softly, “As long as you don’t miss the target, it’s okay.”
He switched to moving targets. The target is in the shape of a humanoid upper body, slowly moving on the track.
“Aiming for the head is difficult, you can hit here,” Lu Yunye drew a cross on the chest of the target paper, “These are all fatal ranges.”
After all, he didn’t even aim. He raised his hand and fired three shots in a row. The target paper was instantly pierced by a straight line between the eyebrows, neck and chest.
“Wow!” The recruits shouted loudly, and began to applaud.
Shi Yi didn’t know how he managed to hit a straight line on the moving target, but he felt startled. The moving target wobbled and continued to slide forward along the track with bullet holes.
Being watched by so many people, he was too embarrassed to continue making a fool of himself.
“I’d better go for a fixed target,” Shi Yi said a little awkwardly, “Anyway, it’s for fun.”
“This can be a skill.” Lu Yunye looked at him with deep eyes as if he could see into his eyes. “Under special circumstances, it can protect you.”
Shi Yi’s scalp felt numb for a moment, “…I probably won’t need it.”
“Not necessarily,” Lu Yunye’s face was dark and unclear. “If you feel like you want to learn, I’ll teach you at a private shooting range when we get back.”
Shi Yi could only agree to try. Besides, this is his first time. Although he didn’t do well, he was a little curious.
He picked up the gun and posed properly. Shi Yi was slender and thin, with a sharp waist, and his posture was very capable.
“You don’t need to deliberately aim when shooting a moving target. It mainly depends on your ability to predict,” Lu Yunye said. “It doesn’t require much precision, as long as you can hit it.”
Before the words fell, there was a bang, and Shi Yi shot.
The moving target in the distance shook, and a bullet hole appeared on the left side of the chest.
“It hit!” Shi Yi said in surprise, “What did you just say?”
Lu Yunye: “…You can just rely on your feeling.”
Shi Yi could barely score high points when hitting fixed targets, but was accurate when hitting moving targets. His reaction is quick, and he quickly learned the joy of shooting.
Instead, Lu Yunye had no chance to personally guide him.
“What was your score when you played for the first time?” Shi Yi asked him enthusiastically.
Lu Yunye thought for a while: “The eighth or ninth ring.”
“Really?” Shi Yi’s eyes widened.
“My grandfather taught me to use a slingshot since I was a child,” Lu Yunye said. “Accuracy is the most basic skill. A qualified gunner must maintain such accuracy in any environment.”
Shi Yi nodded, and suddenly felt as if he had discovered another side of Lu Yunye. Although he knew that he had been a soldier before, his impression of this was always vague. It wasn’t until he touched these murderous weapons that he realized that their pasts were very different.
Lu Yunye’s good figure, strong muscles, calm response ability in the face of crisis, and rigorous and meticulous attitude were all slowly developed.
He finally understood why the heirs of the Lu family had to go to the military. People who came out of that kind of environment will not fuss over small matters.
“Of course, it’s best for you not to come into contact with these.” Lu Yunye rubbed his earlobe. “I just hope you can learn a few more skills.”
A few days before leaving, Shi Yi spent time in the shooting range. After practicing for a day, Lu Yunye took the initiative to give him a massage because his back and arms were sore.
Lu Yunye’s massage techniques are very sophisticated. His hands are strong and can always find his acupuncture points. In the beginning, Shi Yi hid away from the pinching, which hurt, but he gradually got used to it, and even fell asleep unknowingly.
…
When they returned to the capital, it was almost time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The streets and stores were all filled with a festive atmosphere. The Lu family will also hold family gatherings at this time every year, and many overseas family members also fly back to attend. Apart from the New Year, it is the biggest family gathering.
During the previous few years, Shu Wen was at Shi’s house. Shi Yi never stayed long, and eating at the same table with the Shi family was akin to torture.
This year, he wanted to bring his father to Lu’s house. Xiao Ting also asked him to bring Shu Wen over several times, so they could get to know each other.
Shi Yi bought gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but before he had time to visit the nursing home, he received a call from Shen Qing’an.
Shi Yi’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the caller ID, because Shen Qing’an usually would not take the initiative to contact him.
Sure enough, Dr. Shen’s voice on the other end of the phone revealed exhaustion, “Xiao Yi, your father’s estrus period is here.”
DW, Shu Wen will be OK
