Inside Yanjing's well-guarded top military office building.

An elder wearing military uniform, who embodies authority without the need for anger, was glaring at a young soldier in front of him. The young soldier was looking leisurely, his attitude casual, which infuriated the old leader to the point he almost snorted in anger.

"What have you done? You've made a huge blunder, and now you're finally taking it seriously? You're being dismissed from the military!"

"It was worth it."

Despite the ear-splitting roars of reprimand, Cao Xiaolei remained completely unaffected.

"Haven’t you seen women before? You took a female officer from the island nation and tormented her for a month. She was here for an exchange program; now you've made me lose face!”

Cao Xiaolei smirked but didn't utter a word.

He had indeed seen many women, but rarely seen one as delicate as this beauty from the island nation.

When a woman throws herself into his arms, can he resist?

"I’ve looked into this matter. It was a case of espionage! Why didn’t you report it straight away? Why did you play along, sleep with her, and then not provide any intelligence? This is clearly a case of reaping benefits without giving anything in return. No wonder she bit back at you!"

The elder was truly fed up with Cao Xiaolei's indifference.

“If I could sleep with her and resist not giving up any intelligence, could anyone else do the same? If I don’t go into the tiger’s den, who will...”

Cao Xiaolei muttered under his breath, furrowing his brow.

What appeared before his eyes, however, was not a tiger’s den, but the island nation’s female spy’s delicate white legs.

Instantly, the volcano in front of him erupted again, and with a thunderous roar, he was dismissed by the elder. In his hand, he held the document that stated his military dismissal.

After a while, another older leader walked into the office.

He surveyed his old comrade's office, which was in a mess due to someone's rampage, and could not help but laugh. He asked, "Are you reluctant to let it go? The B99 military project is a top-secret assignment. If he doesn't sleep, there are bound to be people hooked by the beauty of a shrewd female spy from the Japanese island sooner or later. I'm afraid the secret project will then cross the ocean."

"And you don't have to worry about Xiao Lei. During his solo mission to exterminate the drug lord in Myanmar last year, he allegedly pocketed quite a bit of under-the-table money. Just that you've turned a blind eye to it," the visitor continued to tease, oblivious that his old comrade's face had turned from red to black, the classic hue of utter embarrassment.

"Xu Song, get out of my office! Damn it! In all the military regions of China, a top soldier is chosen only once every two years during a grand military competition. Xiao Lei has participated in three consecutive competitions in six years, acquiring the title of 'Top Soldier' every single time! Among the whole army, only Cao Xiaolei is the renowned 'King of Top Soldiers'! And you're saying I shouldn't care?!"

The roaring continues, and Director Xu, wearing a sly grin, retreated.

His old comrade would no longer brag about the prowess of the 'King of Top Soldiers.'

Turning his back to the military camp where he'd spent six years, Cao Xiaolei gave a wry smile and boarded the bus to the train station.

He had earned great honor here, but he also paid it back. Perhaps they don't owe each other anything anymore.

A day later.

He had arrived at his destination - the beautiful city of Lishan, which nestled amongst mountains and by the sea. It should be a happy place for an orphan to spend his remaining life.

Real estate in Lishan is expensive, almost every inch is worth gold.

But was he short of money?

No, thanks to the restive drug dealer.

After touring the real estate agency next to the train station, he set his eyes on a detached villa near Yuntai University. It's a wonderful place, beautiful and peaceful, and most importantly, filled with groups of college girls coming and going often.

The phone call was connected, and a soft female voice came through.

Like sweet rice dumplings, very soft, very sweet, making your ears itch from the pleasantness.

The two of them chatted for a while, she said she was in urgent need of cash due to a failed investment, and thus the price was very low.

Cao Xiaolei, adhering to his principle of slashing the price with three tail swipes, laboriously haggled for a 2,000 yuan discount... But as this was a property worth tens of millions, the discount felt rather paltry.

After setting up a time, he glanced at his watch and saw he had half an hour left. Quickly, he hailed a cab.

When his neck seemed about to sprain from his glances at the pretty girls at Yuntai University, the teasing driver informed him that they had arrived. So, he generously handed over a hundred yuan, saying, "No need for change," before coolly exiting the cab.

However, just as he was enjoying the taste of affluence, the angry call of the driver echoed from behind, "Change? This money is not enough! You owe me fifty, don't you dare run!"

Cao Xiaolei's face expression darkened with irritation.

"Ding Dong!"

After locating Villa No. 110 in the Sunset Manor, he walked up and pressed the doorbell.

A minute later, the door opened, and the head of a woman wearing a light-colored mini skirt and a buff colored business casual blouse appeared.

At first glance, Cao Xiaolei's eyes metaphorically popped out in heart shapes. In front of his eyes, wasn't this the Chinese live-action version of a Japanese female spy?

She was a bit shorter, but that made her just his type, perfect for him in many ways...

Her hair was billowing, emanating the subtle scent of Pantene, her eyes weren't particularly big but they were naturally enchanting. Just a glance from her evoked the sensation of being electrified.

Her beautiful face, slender yet sensual body shape, and the white skin with a touch of pink, as delicate as porcelain...Wow, she was so high quality it made him want to commit a crime.

"Are you here to view the house?"

Liu Weiwei stepped back cautiously as she asked, noticing the lascivious expression on the man's face.

"Indeed, indeed. Hello, I am a veteran."

Cao Xiaolei straightened up and saluted in a standard military manner. His honorable demeanor typical of a Chinese serviceman managed to salvage Liu Weiwei's sense of goodwill towards him, which she had been on the verge of losing.

Liu Weiwei responded with a polite smile, her beauty stirring like a fresh breeze blowing through the mountains, making the red plums bloom, which left Cao Xiaolei somewhat awestruck.

Just as she was about to discuss the house, a flashy Porsche Cayenne pulled up in the villa's driveway. A handsome man in sunglasses stepped out of the car and walked towards them. Seeing Liu Weiwei outside the gate, he smiled and asked, "Weiwei, would you like to have dinner with me?"

"No time!"

"If you do, I can get my father to sign a five-year business deal with you. You could revive your business."

"Thank you, Li Da Shao. My bankruptcy is thanks to you, we're better off not seeing each other."

"Don't force us to go the harsh way. If you don't comply, you can forget about a peaceful life at Lishan, and don't even think about getting married in this lifetime!"

The man in sunglasses spoke in a soft but threatening tone.

Liu Weiwei turned pale with rage, but felt powerless to fight back. Just then, she glanced at Cao Xiaolei standing nearby. An idea straight from a clichéd movie flashed through her mind. She quickly moved forward to stand next to him, wrapping her arm around his strong one, pressing her soft body against his.

With a coquettish whisper, she said, "Young Master, you don't need to worry anymore. This is my new boyfriend, isn't he handsome?"

"Uh…"

Cao Xiaolei was shocked as though thunderstruck. Women were trouble in his book. He had recently been hurt by one woman and wasn't looking to get involved in another predicament.

Just as he was about to deny something, out of nowhere, Liu Weiwei stood on her tiptoes, and planted a sudden peck on his face. The kiss was soft, light, but also somewhat damp!

Instantly, Cao Xiaolei was dumbfounded.

Next, he hesitantly lifted a finger to touch his face, sniffed it, smelling a hint of peach...

Deciding right then, he was going to take responsibility for what just happened!

Although Liu Weiwei pretended to be indifferent, her face turned beat red, angering Li Xin to the point where his sunglasses fell to the ground, and pointing at Cao Xiaolei, he yelled: "Who do you think you are! If you have any sense, you'll scram! Otherwise, I'll have someone come beat you up with just a phone call!"

Under such a bare-faced threat, Liu Weiwei momentarily shivered in fear, because she was well aware that Li was from a powerful family involved in both legal and illegal businesses.

In her dismay, she was once again taken aback.

Because Cao Xiaolei, the stand-in boyfriend by her side, pinched on her waist, then with a brilliant smile on his face, stepped forward.

"Smack!"

Without any hesitation, he slapped Li Xin!

"Thump!"

Without any inhibitions, kicked him!

As a formidable soldier king, a violent monster at his prime, how dare Li Xin threaten him? Has he tired of life? And if you looked at all the records of Cao Xiaolei in the past years, one thing stands out - this guy never shies away from trouble, owning up to his actions, especially disliking privileged second generations who act all high and mighty.

His fists and kicks as fast as lightning, Li Xin didn't have the chance to react, ending up with a bloody mouthful after falling face first, "Remember the name Cao Xiaolei, my father is Cao Dachuan, a Provincial Committee member! Now scram!"

Brimming with confidence, with brute force on full display.

Li Xin was truly taken aback on the spot; he was scared off until he wet himself and took to his heels.

Liu Weiwei, who had been taken advantage of, was surprised and swallowed a gulp of that dry taste in her mouth. She looked at Cao Xiaolei, who was smirking at her, and asked, “Is everything you've said true?”

“Of course. But Cao Dachuan is actually the taxi driver who just swindled my money...”

“Besides, if you gave me a kiss, could we get a thousand dollars off? This could be my first kiss.”

Liu Weiwei blushed again in embarrassment, “Cut it out!” They exchanged amused glances and then entered the room together.

The living room was large and bright, and as soon as Cao Xiao Lei entered, he felt as though he had stepped into a girl's boudoir. Whether it was the decorations or the color scheme, everything was refreshing and feminine. Although it didn't quite align with his masculine, military persona, he grinned at the thought that this kind of style might increase the chances of having beautiful girls stay over, and the more he saw, the more he liked it.

There were numerous bags on the sofa; Liu Weiwei quickly rushed to tidy them up, but accidentally knocked over a bag. Out came a pair of black thongs, a pink bra, and several packets of sanitary pads.

Cao Xiaolei pretended not to mind, but his eyes glanced over more than once.

Seeing that she was blushing with embarrassment, he casually picked up the remote control and turned on the television. But when the screen came on, both of them turned at the sound and were utterly taken back.

Turned out, it was some explicit video featuring a certain adult film actress...

"Darn it..."

Cao Xiaolei was at a loss for words and Liu Weiwei was utterly mortified. She roared, “Cursed cousin!” and rushed forward to turn off the TV. And then she foolishly looked at Cao Xiaolei, afraid that he might miss understand.

It seemed like the temperature in the room had risen quite a few degrees.

Both of them simultaneously reached out for the landscape painting on the table to use as a fan, and accidentally, their hands touched together, setting their hearts aflutter.

Striving for composure, Liu Weiwei began to discuss the issue of selling her house.

After the negotiation, she signed the contract. Hesitant and unsure, she asked, "Will you live here alone or with a girlfriend or family?"

"Alone, I have no parents or family." Cao Xiaolei stated bluntly.

"Well... Could I stay here temporarily? After all, there will be so many rooms you could not live in them all at once, but I would pay rent and you can set the price."

Liu Weiwei seemed not to notice a certain person's prying eyes, and unexpectedly brought up the subject of renting the place.

"Huh!"

A single man cohabitating with a beautiful woman could be seen as a blatant attraction, no?

Cao Xiaolei was evidently astonished by this unexpected stroke of fortune, but he did not respond hastily as to not seem too eager. Pretending to furrow his brow, he replied, "I don't need the money."

Upon hearing this, Liu Weiwei put on a pitiful face despite having 20 million in hand; however, after paying off debts, she would end up poor. Therefore, she got up, bent down and pleaded as if asking Buddha for guidance.

At this point, Cao Xiaolei was unable to resist, feeling a burning desire through his body. Thus, he halfheartedly agreed to her proposal, his heart already jumping in delight.

With no other words exchanged that night, the pair slept separately in peace.

When morning came, Cao Xiaolei, who was dreaming about Liu Weiwei, causing him to drool all over his pillow, glanced at the cartoon clock on the wall, before closing his eyes to fall asleep again. Now that his military life was behind him, he could finally sleep in peace.

However, within ten minutes a bothersome knock at the door woke him.

His beautiful dream came to an abrupt end, leaving Cao Xiaolei with an irate look on his face. The dream that took him several nights to conjure up was gone in an instant.

If an onlooker were to see this, they would probably be bonked by Liu Weiwei out of frustration.

His eyes were as dark as if they were painted like a close relative of a panda!

But at this moment, it seemed that the only one who could wake him up was the beautiful tenant Liu Weiwei next door. Hence, Cao Xiaolei rubbed his eyes, gave up the idea of punishing her, and stumbled over with his sleepy eyes half-open.

Upon opening the door, he stuck his head out too quickly, bumping into something. He rubbed his eyes again in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Weiwei, dressed in light green home clothes with a ponytail, her flush face, and wide eyes. "Uh... I was wondering why...”

Before he had time to apologize, she let out a sharp scream, which instantly wiped out the sleepiness within Cao Xiaolei.

"You're not wearing any clothes!"

"I am wearing... just a pair of socks..."

Liu Weiwei, blushing, quickly covered her eyes with her hands. Her enchanting body was rigid, but being a virgin out of curiosity, she peeked at him through her fingers and instantly her heart started to beat wildly.

Her face was flushed to the roots of her neck.

"Let's go downstairs for breakfast."

Hastily dropping this remark, Liu Weiwei dared not meet his eyes and ran down the stairs like a beautiful butterfly. Cao Xiaolei, with a face full of gloom, said, "Sis, you've seen my whole body, can't you give some compensation, let me take a look at you in a thong?"

On the first day he moved in with a beautiful woman, he lost his innocence. The more he thought about it, the less it seemed like the style of the King of Soldiers of the Yanjing Military Region.

He put on his shorts, a black vest, revealing his attractive and well-developed muscles, and went downstairs with resentment.

The television was on, and Liu Weiwei was sitting at the table like a lady, with milk, bread, and fried eggs.

However, it seemed there was only one serving.

"You're here, go ahead and eat. I'm on a diet and only eat fruit in the morning." Liu Weiwei pretended to be indifferent and smiled, picking up a thick and long cucumber from the fruit plate.

She then dipped it in honey and popped it in her mouth.

The sight stirred some restless desires within Cao Xiaolei, luckily, before he knew it, the cucumber was already bitten off by those red lips and white teeth.

A chill went down someone's spine...

The TV was broadcasting the same old morning news, portraying the homeland as peaceful and prosperous for a minute, and the rest of the world embroiled in disputes and chaos.

Cao Xiaolei asked, "Can we change the channel?"

Liu Weiwei casually nodded her head. With her roommate's approval, Cao Xiaolei went through all the numbers on the digital channels, finally settling on a hot talent show: "Bikini Midsummer Night Finals".

"Can we watch this?"

"Fine."

Watching Cao Xiaolei's dirty look as he stared intently at the screen, Liu Weiwei struggled to finish a cucumber.

Nothing happens without a reason, and it was true this time, too. After offering free breakfast and conscientiously cleaning the dishes, she finally let her intentions slip by raising her face and asking innocently, "Xiaolei, err... could you accompany me for a short trip to get something done? I need to visit that jerk Li Xin's father's company as I had to yesterday, I'm a little scared."

"What about..."

"I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

Afraid of his rejection, Liu Weiwei quickly offered. Hiring a high-combat-value bodyguard for a meal seemed like a good deal.

"Alright, but you have to help me pick an outfit later. All I've got is old clothes to wear."

Cao Xiaolei, hearing about a meal, readily agreed with a somewhat dim-witted look.

This guy was notoriously known in the Yanjing Military Region for two major vices, mooching meals and philandering with girls.

The two decided to go back to their rooms to change. Cao Xiaolei was essentially an unemployed loafer. Accompanying a beautiful woman for a stroll through the streets, giving his eyes a feast, was quite enjoyable. As for that so-called "Young Master Li," Cao considered him a trivial nuisance.

With a soldier's swift efficiency, he quickly changed his clothes, and looking pretty neat, he arrived at the living room to wait for Liu Weiwei. However, women's dressing and makeup really consumed a lot of time. After waiting a long time without seeing any sign of her, Cao Xiaolei got up and went to the bathroom.

Before he could even begin, the bathroom door was opened. Liu Weiwei, adorned in her lovely attire, walked in, then froze on the spot. Her expression turned rigid, then she paled and covered her face, saying, "I didn't mean to… didn't mean to…" before hurriedly retreating.

Cao Xiaolei's face was tear-streaked, his teeth gritted, and his lips puckered.

"You did it on purpose! Great heavens, I can't pee anymore…"

Such an injustice, it was definitely more dramatic than the story of Dou E, the tragic heroine from history.

As they ascended Liu Weiwei's Beetle car, he enjoyed the view of the beautiful girls wearing short skirts, showing off their legs along the way. Before his enjoyment could end, they arrived at the company of Young Master Li's father, the Jin Cheng Group.

This was a very formidable company, with skyscrapers clustered together, and it was situated in a prime location. Just the estimated value of the properties alone was not less than a hundred million. It seemed that Li Xin's father was indeed an influential figure. If an average person saw this kind of aura, they'd surely back down, which was not the case with Cao Xiaolei though.

He was never afraid of trouble; what he feared most was idle boredom.
