Poverty makes me capable of anything.

It's still in that same house at the base.

Welcome back!

Fei Lian, leaning on his cane, was patiently brewing tea when he turned around and saw the door being pushed open. It was An Ran and Ella who came in.

“Captain.” An Ran nodded. She was still a little happy to see an old friend.

Seeing that Fei Lian is still alive and well makes me even more emotional.

"Newlyweds, please have some tea."

Feilian turned around and placed the cup on the table in front of Anran.

"Uh……"

An Ran looked down and saw that it was still the same dark brown liquid.

Uh……

The specially made strong tea evoked unpleasant memories for Anran.

Seeing An Ran's slightly changed expression, Fei Lian immediately burst into laughter: "Don't worry, I have some experience when it comes to brewing tea. I'm much better than that half-baked Chu Yuan. You can rest assured."

He pushed the cup towards him.

"Thank you."

Not wanting to spoil Fei Lian's fun, An Ran could only accept the cup with a bitter expression.

"Anran, Anran, what is this brown liquid? Can we drink it?" Ella stood on tiptoe to look at the teacup, asking with a curious expression, and stretched out her little hand.

“This is tea, a kind of traditional beverage,” Anran explained, writing the word “tea” on Ella’s hand.

“Oh.” Ella nodded.

Ella's Dictionary

Tea:

1. An evergreen woody plant, with leaves...

2. Beverages made from tea leaves.

After checking with the center, Ella understood what Anran meant.

"Is this your sister Ella?" Fei Lian asked.

"Yes."

"What an adorable little girl. I hope my daughter will be as cute as Ella when she grows up," Fei Lian exclaimed.

吓？

Why did everything suddenly turn to the daughter?

An Ran took a small sip of the strong tea.

Ok?

This taste...

I pfft—

An Ran quietly moved the cup a little further away without making a sound. To be honest, the tea Fei Lian brewed was no better than Chu Yuan's. What kind of lousy experience was that? I think you're just deliberately making things difficult for me, An Ran!

"Hahaha……"

Upon seeing this, Fei Lian suddenly burst into laughter.

Sure enough, this unreliable captain was doing it on purpose, leaving An Ran speechless.

"Is this a routine for our team? We always bring a cup of special strong tea whenever a new member joins?"

"Speaking of this tradition..."

"Feilian, you idiot, what are you laughing at? Hurry up and come with me to the door to wait. Did you come here all by yourself to slack off?"

Just then, the half-closed door behind them was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar female voice came in.

Anran turned around.

"what?"

Her golden hair was tied in a single ponytail, her face was covered with simple and clean makeup, and her clothes were a very seasonal jacket and jeans, without any revealing or reckless attire.

Anna like this?

Yes, that's Anna.

After a long separation, we met again, and sure enough, many things had changed.

Fei Lian has changed, Anna has changed, Chu Yuan and Dao Gu are no longer here, and Li Zhuying is still in Yaxi City.

"Anran, when did you arrive?" Anna's face lit up with surprise.

She hugged Anran as soon as she came up, then walked over to Feilian and grabbed his ear: "You little rascal, Feilian, Anran came back and you didn't even tell me, and you're still laughing here."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Let go!" Fei Lian immediately cried out, "I only saw An Ran come back when I was making tea."

"Uh……"

She should have offered some explanation, but seeing this discordant scene, An Ran felt as if she had suddenly found herself in the eye of a storm, and she was completely bewildered.

Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here?

"Anran, Anran, why did this seemingly kind older sister suddenly grab that uncle's ear so fiercely?" Ella continued to express her inquisitive spirit.

Big sister.

Uncle.

Emmm...

But Ella's question made Anna, who was about to pinch Feilian's waist, suddenly realize that there was someone next to her.

An Ran was still watching.

Her face suddenly turned red, her cheeks flushed.

An Ran was terrified.

Is this still Anna, the violent woman who smokes, drinks, and has tattoos? I thought she was an innocent blonde girl straight out of an anime.

Anna abruptly released her grip, looking awkwardly at An Ran, and offered a pointless explanation: "Um, An Ran, don't misunderstand, Fei Lian and I..."

"What's the point of explaining now?" Fei Lian rubbed his ears and stepped forward.

"To be honest, Anna and I are engaged and we plan to get married in December."

Uh……

An Ran's face stiffened; this pair of smokers and drinkers had finally come together.

Fate plays tricks on people~

"Congratulations, congratulations!" An Ran immediately offered her congratulations with a smile. Dao Gu used to like to joke about the two of them, but she never expected that they would have reached this point after only a few months apart. Time flies!

"Anran, you must come to our wedding when you have time!" Feilian said.

"sure."

"What are you laughing at? Your laughter is disgusting. Do you think I really want to marry you?"

Anna seized the opportunity and pinched Feilian's waist.

This trick that women learn without being taught is indeed incredibly powerful.

Fei Lian gasped in shock; this was truly terrifying!

"Hehe, how did you two get to this point?"

An Ran, unusually intrigued, nudged Anna and whispered, "I'm asking you something."

"This……"

Anna remained silent.

"Let me explain," Fei Lian said with a smile.

"You're so talkative!" Anna slapped Feilian, but didn't stop him.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Anran."

"Thank me?"

An Ran scratched her head in bewilderment.

"Although you managed to escape during the mission to attack the Morning Star Far East Branch stronghold, Minister Lü still remembers your great contribution. At the end of the month, our team was directly promoted to the third team."

"and then?"

“Didn’t Anna say before that she would consider me when I led the team back to the top three?” Fei Lian smiled happily. “It just so happens that I was injured when I took a bullet for Anna. Anna felt very guilty and asked Minister Lü to stay and take care of me. While she was taking care of me, we ended up having sex one night, and then… hehe.”

ha?

"X?"

Oh my, they ended up in bed together after just a few times?

You still say you two have no affair!

As soon as I pricked up my ears, I heard Anna slapping Feilian!

"Awesome, Anna!" An Ran gave Anna a thumbs up.

"Why are you looking at me with such an ambiguous gaze?" Anna asked, a little flustered.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Anna made a move to hit Fei Lian.

Tsk tsk.

"If Anna hadn't taken the initiative, what could Feilian have done to you with his injured leg?"

"Yes, it's because I was drunk!" Anna retorted.

She was furious: "Feilian, are you trying to get yourself killed? Can't you see there are children here?"

She pointed at Ella.
