Chapter 101: Little Soldier Little Soldier Little Soldier
Under the setting sun, on the wall of Jingzhou, two figures, one tall and one short, walked side by side, overlooking the endless city scenery below the wall. Wherever they passed, the stationed soldiers all bowed their heads respectfully to salute them.

Those are Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

Looking at the beautiful city under the setting sun, Liu Bei suddenly asked, "Second brother, what do you think of what was said in the Canyon Gazette?"

"Brother, are you talking about Wang Yao?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei nodded silently.

"To be honest, it's hard to believe." Guan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Although I asked my nephew afterwards, I still find it hard to believe that such a thing could happen in the world. How could a small soldier have the skills of a hero? Seeing is believing, hearing is not. Since I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would rather think that it was just that Wang Yao's strength far exceeded that of other small soldiers, which made his movement speed the same as the effect of the military advisor's skills."

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu with interest and said with a smile, "I heard from my third brother that when we were going to promote Wang Yao to the position of captain of a thousand men, you were very supportive of it, and you seemed to like this young man very much. Why do you sound different from what you said now?"

"That's different." Guan Yu said meaningfully, "I like this young man privately because I can vaguely see the shadow of an old friend in him. But his talent is indeed enough to be a captain of a thousand men. I don't have any personal feelings attached to this matter. I am just judging objectively."

"I see." Liu Bei nodded without comment.

"Brother, since you are so concerned about this matter, why didn't you ask him in person just now?" Guan Yu suddenly asked.

Liu Bei just smiled and said nothing more.

At this time, a tall and burly figure came up from the city wall.

Zhang Fei, with wild and standing hair, came up to the two of them.

"Big brother." Zhang Fei bowed respectfully to Liu Bei, then said to Guan Yu, "Second brother, Mr. Li invites you to come over."

"What's the matter?" Guan Yu asked.

"The first defense tower on the top lane that was previously breached by the Wei State has been repaired. Mr. Li wants you to go over and review the flow of funds so that he can report to Zhuge Liang." Zhang Fei said.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Guan Yu nodded, and then left the city wall.

Seeing Guan Yu leaving, Zhang Fei waved his hand and dismissed the soldiers on his left and right.

Suddenly, only Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were left on the city wall.

"Third brother, do you have anything to say to me?" Liu Bei turned around and smiled faintly.

Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "Brother, did you really go to that kid named Wang?"

"What can we do? Third brother, you refuse to come to apologize. Is there anything wrong with me apologizing on your behalf?" Liu Bei said.

Zhang Fei looked unconvinced and disdainful, saying: "You are a hero, the Emperor Zhaolie of Shu, how could you condescend to be humble to a small soldier! He is just a small soldier, an existence inferior to an ant, what else can he do?!"

"Shut up, third brother." Liu Bei turned around solemnly and shouted in a low voice: "Soldiers, are you trying to provoke rebellion by saying such things? When will you learn from your second brother and treat the soldiers calmly and kindly?"

Zhang Fei still had a look of indignation on his face, but when he saw Liu Bei getting angry, he shut up angrily.

Throughout the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Fei obeyed no one but Liu Bei.

After a pause, Liu Bei suddenly asked, "Do you think that Big Brother is willing to apologize to a soldier?"

Zhang Fei was stunned.

With a slight sigh, Liu Bei said earnestly: "Third brother, you have always acted on impulse and don't know how to look further ahead. Now, Wang Yao is no longer an unknown soldier, but a captain who can command an entire army. Although he is under the command of our Shu Kingdom, you must not forget who brought Wang Yao here."

Zhang Fei said nothing more.

Liu Bei continued, "Even if Wang Yao is just an unknown soldier, behind him is the five-man Great Wall team led by Hua Mulan, the entire Great Wall Guard Army with a strength of 10, and even the Great Tang Empire! Don't you know that Captain Mulan is extremely protective of her own people? If Wang Yao encounters any accident in our Shu Kingdom, once Hua Mulan finds out, aren't you afraid that the Great Wall Guard Army will trample through Shu Kingdom? As far as I know, the empress of the Great Tang has always coveted this land under our feet!"

"Brother, you are exaggerating! What you mean is, I am a hero, but I have to respect you like a mere soldier?" Zhang Fei's tiger face turned completely cold.

Liu Bei sighed heavily and said, "Although it's strange to say this, some soldiers really can't be provoked, even our heroes are no exception. It's not because this soldier is so powerful, but because he is invisibly involved in too many forces. If we are not careful, it is very likely that there will be a war that will cause the earth to break apart and the sky to collapse."

"Brother, I really don't agree with what you said." With a cold snort, Zhang Fei turned around and said calmly, "I only know that Shu Kingdom is the foundation that the three of us brothers have worked so hard to build. I, Zhang Fei, will be the first one to disagree with anyone who wants to get involved in this foundation, even if it's Zhuge Liang!"

After saying this, Zhang Fei went down the city wall without looking back.

Watching Zhang Fei leave in silence, Liu Bei turned around and looked down at the Jingzhou City which was gradually shrouded by the thick night, his eyes were extremely deep.

The next day.

When the sky just began to lighten slightly, Luna was awakened by a series of slight noises downstairs.

She got out of bed in a daze and went to the kitchen, only to see Wang Yao busy in the kitchen. Luna rubbed her eyes and asked, "Ah, Yao, what are you doing?"

"I'll make breakfast for you." Wang Yao said as he took a fried dough stick and handed it to the girl.

Luna came over and smelled it. After confirming that it tasted good, she opened her little mouth and took a bite of the fried dough stick.

This action was so cute that it made Wang Yao inexplicably more anxious.

"This is fried dough sticks, a simple breakfast in our hometown. We also have soy milk here, it tastes better if you drink it with it."

"Well, thank you for getting up so early to prepare breakfast for me." Luna said sweetly as she sat down at the dining table and enjoyed this unique foreign breakfast with relish.

At this moment, with a thud, Wang Yao placed a huge package on the dining table. The heavy weight made the cups on the table jump up.

As Luna's beautiful eyes widened, Wang Yao explained one by one: "This is the clothes you changed for the journey, and the dry food for 30 days that I prepared last night, one flavor for each day. It's a pity that there is no refrigerator, and I don't know if it will go bad on the way."

"Hey, no, I'll just eat faster!" Luna looked at Wang Yao's bloodshot eyes, "You spent the whole night preparing these for me?"

"I'm worried that you'll get hungry on the way." Wang Yao said quietly as he packed his things. "Is that so?" Luna blinked her bright eyes, with a hint of confusion on her pretty face.

Even this slow-witted girl was finally convinced that Wang Yao had been acting strangely since yesterday, but she couldn't quite tell what exactly was wrong.

After breakfast, Wang Yao volunteered to carry the package and personally escort Luna out of Jingzhou.

However, Wang Yao remained silent throughout the journey, which caused Luna to remain silent as well. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

She was not the type who was good at dealing with people, and if she had not lived with Wang Yao, in fact, she would not speak more than ten sentences every day in Jingzhou, and would never come into contact with more than three people a day.

Yes, it seems that her life has changed a lot since Wang Yao came.

"We're here. I think I can only take you here."

Just when Luna was still in a daze, Wang Yao, who was walking in front, had already stopped.

"Ah?" Luna seemed to have just come to her senses, but found that she was already outside the north gate of the city without realizing it.

It was desolate outside the city, with no grass and yellow sand everywhere, but when Luna thought that she would be able to go to Jixia to see her dear relative soon, her mood immediately improved.

"Ayao, I'm leaving now!" The girl was excited and was about to leave.

"etc."

But Wang Yao's words made her stop again.

"Is there any water source on the road? Do you want to bring some water to drink on the road? Also, do you want to bring some tools for camping? Otherwise, you can leave later and I will make some simple tents for you. I also heard from my teammates that there are demons everywhere outside. Is it really okay for you to be alone?"

"It's okay, I'm strong and I can take care of myself." Luna looked at Wang Yao with bright eyes, and suddenly, she seemed to understand something.

"Every time I went to Jixia before, I was alone, and no one ever prepared a package for me. Thank you, I am very happy."

Is he reluctant to part with himself? Is he...
The girl couldn't help but start thinking like this, until she looked into Wang Yao's eyes again -

A breeze blew by, and I don't know whose eyes were as lingering as water, and I don't know whose heart was beating wildly like a deer.

In fact, she was not at all repulsed by the man in front of her. On the contrary, her uncontrollable rapid heartbeat was enough to prove her mood. It was not only because he seemed to be a very special soldier, but also because he was the only one who had been encouraging her all along.

But
Is this really good?
When the ferocious black shadow under the blood moon appeared in her mind, Luna suddenly gritted her teeth and took a small step back.

"Then I, I'm leaving."

She turned to leave, but as soon as she turned around, she was grabbed at the wrist.

"Keep warm and don't catch a cold." He held her wrist tightly and said reluctantly.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

"." Luna turned her back to Wang Yao, her eyes seemed to be slightly warm.

She finally understood his feelings, and this feeling of being cared for, worried about, and concerned about was something she hadn't felt in a long time.

Luna suddenly thought of the day they first met, the morning full of misunderstandings, the cold yet unusually warm night in the wild area, and the look on his face after she recovered from her illness, which was as if he had been redeemed.

Boom!
The package fell heavily to the ground.

The silver-haired girl suddenly turned around and hugged the person behind her desperately.

Before Wang Yao could react, he could only feel the fragrance on his face, and then the girl's unusually soft body pressed tightly against him. At the same time, the girl's gentle voice rang beside his ears.

"You have to wait for me to come back~"

"!!!" At this moment, it was as if the world that had been in darkness for years finally saw the light of day again. No words or phrases could describe Wang Yao's mood.

He just felt that the depression that had been weighing on his heart since last night suddenly disappeared, and the ecstasy, gratitude, and happiness that came from inside out were beyond words.

"I'll wait for you to come back!" He hugged the girl tightly without any hesitation, proving his feelings with his actions.

He really wanted to be the first person he saw when he woke up every day, and to say good night to her before going to bed at night. For him, this was considered a day.

Wang Yao is not an emotionally dull person. He does not want to hypocritically say that he has no feelings for Luna after being together for such a long time. On the contrary, Luna's soft personality and strong heart have always moved him. Deep in his heart, Luna has always been an exceptionally cute and lovable girl!
However, after living in this "hero-supreme" world for a long time, Wang Yao was inevitably influenced by this traditional thinking, and gradually developed a sense of inferiority and resistance.

"She is a hero, admired by billions of creatures. She is a good girl who deserves to be held in the palm of the hand of a more powerful king and protected for a lifetime. I am just an insignificant soldier."

This is what Wang Yao thinks most in his mind every time he is moved.

Now, all the worries and inferiority complexes are transformed into a gentle stream of water in the girl's gentle embrace, like winter snow bathing in the spring sun.

Wang Yao didn't know when he started to have feelings for Luna.

Maybe it was that night when they spent a warm night in the cold wilderness, or maybe it was when they first met in Jingzhou and saw her standing alone in the crowd, looking helpless and weak.
Wang Yao couldn't help but feel a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

But actually, these are no longer important.
Yeah, is there anything else to say? No.

Sometimes, liking and loving don’t need to be expressed out loud.

On a vast desolate land, the two of them just hugged each other in silence, which was the best proof of their promise to be together forever.

　Thanks to Feixiang girl for the 588+100 reward, Xiaochuan for the 999 reward, Xiaoxiong for the 588 reward, as well as Accelerator and Yibihuaqing for the rewards.
