Chapter 308: What Do You Think You Are Doing?
Before long, the soldier returned with Li Tianyu. When Li Tianyu spotted Long Yu from afar, he quickened his pace and waved enthusiastically.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Noticing Li Tianyu's excited expression, Yao Ran glanced at her boyfriend and asked with a hint of doubt, "A Yu, why do I feel like Captain Li is looking at you the way you look at me?"
As soon as her words came out, Long Yu shuddered and replied, "Ran Ran, don't talk nonsense. You are scaring me."
Unaware of the couple's private exchange, Li Tianyu beamed brightly as he reached the driver's side and said, "Captain Long, I have finally met you again! You don't know how hard I have been looking for you these past few months."
When Yao Ran heard these words, she couldn't help but glance at her boyfriend. Seeing Long Yu's speechless expression, she thought, 'Now I'm really curious about why Captain Li wants to see A Yu.'
With that in mind, Yao Ran shifted her focus to Li Tianyu, waiting for him to elaborate.
Noticing Li Tianyu's unkempt appearance, Long Yu asked, "Captain Li, how did you end up like this in just a few months?"
Li Tianyu sighed and replied, "It's a long story. How about we go inside and talk?"
Long Yu raised his brows slightly at the suggestion. After a moment of silence, he said, "You seem to have a lot to say."
Li Tianyu nodded and whispered, "Mhm. This isn't the best place for a discussion." Confirming his suspicions, Long Yu said, "Then please lead the way."
"Good." Li Tianyu walked back to the guard post and instructed, "Open the barricade."
"Yes, Captain Li." The soldier hurriedly dragged the metal-spiked barricade to the side and said, "Clear."
Long Yu started the engine and drove into the barracks. As he passed the soldier, he noticed the soldier's parched lips and sunken cheeks.
Seeing Long Yu's frown, Yao Ran said, "After the acid rain, the soil and water became contaminated. Without water or wood element ability users, it's hard to find drinkable water or food."
Long Yu was already aware of this, but witnessing the soldier's poor conditions saddened him. Understanding his thoughts, Yao Ran reached out and held his hand.
She smiled, "If you want to help them, just let me know. I will support you as much as I can." "Thank you, Ran Ran," Long Yu whispered as he looked at her lovingly.
Sensing his mood improved, she calmly said, "There is no need for formalities between us. You have already given me an engagement ring. Why are you still so polite to me? Don't you think it's time we start calling each other husband and wife?"
Hearing this, Long Yu blushed and avoided her gaze. His ears turned so red and hot. Seeing this, Yao Ran chuckled and decided to stop teasing him.
After entering the barracks, Li Tianyu led Long Yu to the parking lot. Once Long Yu had parked the truck, he said, "Captain Long, Miss Yao, let's go to my place."
Hearing they were heading to his residence instead of his office, Long Yu grew even more curious. It seemed the matter Li Tianyu wanted to discuss might involve some big secrets.
"Alright," Long Yu agreed after a brief pause.
Carrying their backpacks and weapons, Long Yu and Yao Ran followed Li Tianyu to the living quarters.
As a captain, Li Tianyu didn't have to share a room with others and had his own small apartment. Taking out a key, he unlocked the door and stepped inside.
"Please come in. There is no one else here, so make yourselves comfortable." He said, pulling out two pairs of slippers from the shoe rack.
Long Yu and Yao Ran entered and changed into slippers. They were stunned to see where Li Tianyu stayed.
Calling this place an apartment felt like an exaggeration. Apart from a small cubicle serving as a bathroom, the entire apartment could be seen at a glance.
In one corner was a folding bed, while a small table with four chairs occupied the center of the room. Opposite the bed was a small table used as a kitchen, where Li Tianyu was pouring water into three cups.
Seeing Long Yu and Yao Ran standing awkwardly at the door, he said, "Don't just stand there. Take a seat."
Once seated, Long Yu asked, "Why were you looking for me?"
Li Tianyu said, "Before we begin, do you have any cigarettes? The pack you gave me last time is long gone."
Hearing this, Long Yu opened his backpack, took out a pack of cigarettes, and placed it in front of Li Tianyu.
As soon as he saw the cigarettes, Li Tianyu's eyes lit up. He opened the package, took a deep sniff to soothe his craving, and then carefully put it away like a precious treasure.
Watching him treat the cigarettes with such reverence, Yao Ran glanced at her boyfriend and thought, 'No wonder A Yu wants cigarettes. It turns out that Captain Li is a heavy smoker.'
After calming his nicotine craving, Li Tianyu asked, "Captain Long, do you have any abilities?"
When he asked the question, both Yao Ran and Long Yu frowned simultaneously. Noticing their reaction, Li Tianyu calmly said, "Please put away your murderous intent."
He then opened his palm, revealing a small pile of soil materializing from thin air.
Seeing this, Long Yu's eyes flickered for a moment as he said, "You have an earth element
ability."
Li Tianyu nodded, "Yes."
"When did you gain this ability?" Long Yu asked.
Li Tianyu thought for a moment before replying, "About three months ago."
Hearing this, Yao Ran commented, "That's good news. With an ability, your chances of survival increase."
Li Tianyu looked at her, sighed deeply, and then stood up, starting to remove his uniform. Seeing this, Long Yu quickly covered Yao Ran's eyes with his large palm and glared at Li
Tianyu.
"What do you think you are doing, Captain Li?" He asked unhappily, his tone sharp.
