Chapter 97 Unsuited Life
For the next two days, Lu Ye lived like a normal person, which was rare for him.
I woke up in the morning, had lunch with the Black Scythe Squad, and then they dragged me out for drinks.
In the middle, he was persuaded by Roman and Artyom to go to "unity of knowledge and action" again.
In the afternoon, Vasily would always appear at the hospital on time.
"Lu, let's go."
Yuri sat on the edge of the bed and laughed: "Once a day? Lu, can your body handle that?"
Ruslan chimed in, "Studying in the morning, fighting in the afternoon, and reviewing the games in the evening—my schedule is packed."
Artyom: "I think he wasn't going to training, he was going on a date."
Roman: "The female commander personally sparring with me is such a high level of treatment."
Lu Ye glanced at everyone speechlessly, his face expressionless: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Vasily, suppressing a laugh, said, "Let's go, she'll get upset if we stay any later."
Lu Ye had no choice but to leave.
He won on the first day of the match, but it wasn't an easy victory.
Anna was clearly beginning to adapt to his close-range assault style.
She no longer got too close to Lu Ye, and after each attack she would quickly create distance, preventing him from getting into a short-range burst of speed.
Lu Ye wanted to win, and to get time to talk to his family.
After returning to the hospital that night, he immediately added two attribute points to his physique.
[Constitution: 13/20]
The next day when they went to the training room, Lu Ye's stamina was noticeably improved compared to the day before, and Anna quickly noticed this.
Her low sweeping attack was blocked by Lu Ye, and her expression changed slightly.
"You're recovering very quickly."
Lu Ye didn't answer, and pressed himself against her directly.
Anna retreated.
Lu Ye followed up with his steps, his left hand making a feint grabbing her shoulder line, and his right foot blocking her outside step point.
Anna wanted to turn around and leave.
Lu Ye suddenly sank down, his elbow hitting her ribs, and his left hand was already gripping her wrist.
The movement stopped.
Anna glanced down at Lu Ye's hand: "You lost again."
Lu Ye released her: "Phone."
Anna looked up at him: "You're being quite direct now."
"Vasily, take him there."
For two consecutive days, Lu Ye was given a total of six minutes of talk time.
After each call ended, Lu Ye would remain silent for a long time.
Vasily didn't urge him, and the old man didn't say anything.
On one occasion, Vasily looked at him and asked, "Are you alright?"
"good."
"Do all Chinese men talk like that?"
"no."
"Then why do you always say it's alright?"
Lu Ye paused for a moment: "Because it's useless to say it's hard to explain."
These past two days have also been the two days in which Lu Ye has spent the most money.
He had previously wired $110,000 home and then repaid Yuri $50,000.
There were originally about 170,000 left.
As a result, in the past two days, I spent $30,000 on food, drinks, bars, shopping sprees, and treating my teammates to relaxation.
Lu Ye's face darkened when he looked at the balance.
When Yuri saw this, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it."
Lu Ye looked at him, gritting his teeth: "That's thirty thousand US dollars, more than 20 RMB!"
Ruslan shrugged and said, "Money is worthless, you can always earn more."
Lu Ye: "You make it sound so easy."
Eugene said seriously, "Being in a high-pressure combat environment for a long time, proper release can reduce the probability of mental breakdown."
Artyom: "To translate, it means spend money when you should."
Roman: "To translate it again, you only have the right to be stingy with money if you're alive."
Lu Ye didn't refute this, because they were right, and he had clearly felt it in the past two days.
The carnage on the battlefield and life in the camp are like two completely different worlds.
Sometimes, when Lu Ye was sitting there, he would even be in a daze for a moment.
He wondered if he hadn't had a brain tumor and hadn't come to this battlefield, would he have lived a peaceful and safe life?
He goes to work. Pays the mortgage. Picks his daughter up from school. Occasionally has a meal with his parents. His wife won't divorce him; they even go shopping together sometimes.
Ordinary. Boring. But safe. Now, all of that has become a luxury.
Lu Ye looked at the wine in his glass and said in a low voice, "People can be really despicable sometimes."
Yuri heard this and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Ye shook his head: "It's nothing."
Yuri glanced at him, but didn't press the matter. He simply pushed the glass towards him and said, "Take a sip."
Lu Ye shook his head: "I don't want to drink."
Yuri glanced at him and said, "Then sit down."
At that moment, Lu Ye suddenly understood why many veterans had problems after returning to normal life.
It's not that they don't want to be normal.
Instead, after killing until they become numb, when they return to the lights, alcohol, women, and laughter, their minds become unable to distinguish which side is real.
The command center is located on the second basement level.
In the listening room, Anna listened to the recording of Lu Ye's conversation with his family.
Her finger remained on the play button for a long time without moving.
A moment later, she went back and listened to it again.
Lu Ye's voice on the phone was very low, much softer than his usual cold and hard tone.
He didn't talk about everything he had been through during this time; he just kept saying, "I'm fine."
"don’t worry.
""
"It's good that the money has been received."
"I will go back."
Every time Anna overheard Lu Ye talking to his father, she couldn't help but think of her own father.
That man was very strong; he had a military background and came from the intelligence system. He always spoke in a commanding tone.
When Anna was a child, she admired him a lot.
She felt that a strong person should be like him: calm, decisive, and feared by everyone.
Later, her mother left, and her father only said one sentence.
"Useless people cannot be kept, nor is it necessary to keep them."
That year, Anna felt nauseous for the first time.
He can sacrifice his family for profit, abandon his wife for his future, and treat his daughter as a work of art that must pass muster.
Anna's repeated missions to the front lines were not simply to prove herself.
She wanted to prove that she was strong and didn't have to become like him.
Lu Ye's father and her father were completely opposite.
Lu Ye's father's words were full of concern for Lu Ye, but he didn't say it out loud.
She just kept telling Lu Ye, "Live well, don't think about home. Everything's fine there!"
Moreover, Lu Ye is different from his father.
He was a very skilled sniper and quite ruthless on the battlefield, but he wasn't like that with his family.
He would lie to the children, saying that their mother would come back.
Even though his wife abandoned him, he never exposed that woman's facade in front of his children.
Anna stopped the recording, and Lu Ye's call log was displayed on the screen.
She whispered, "Capable, has people she cares about, and has principles."
Anna got up and left the listening room. In the corridor, she looked in the direction of the training room, feeling somewhat agitated.
She knew that her attitude towards Lu Ye was changing.
At first it was suspicion, then curiosity, and now, in addition to suspicion and curiosity, there's something else.
She couldn't explain it, and she didn't want to admit it.
People like Lu Ye are dangerous, not because of his identity, but because they can easily shake one's judgment.
This is a major taboo for intelligence personnel.
But she couldn't help wanting to get closer to him.
I want to see what else he's hiding.
I also wanted to see why this man, who was as cold as a knife on the battlefield, was so gentle on the phone.
