Chapter 2-Old Class Monitor, Follow Me to Be a Mercenary!
Dongping City, high-speed rail station.
Ye Yun walked to the exit and stretched as the taxi driver greeted her. Then, she picked up her phone and looked at the address.
The first person he was looking for was the old class monitor, Shi Jin.
Ever since he retired from the army, no one had seen this old class monitor. He only occasionally said a few words in the group chat of his comrades and revealed his recent situation. There was no news about him after that, just like a lone tiger.
However, hard work paid off. After a few twists and turns, Ye Yun still got the address of the old class monitor.
...
"This is the Golden Home District.”
After getting out of the taxi, Ye Yun stood at the entrance of the neighborhood and confirmed the address on her phone.
Stepping into the neighborhood, he could tell from the facilities that this was an old campus. Most of the residents were retired elderly people, and there were very few young people.
" Block 8, Unit 2, Room 501…"
Ye Yun held up her phone and checked the house number. She took a deep breath and her heart was beating violently. She pressed the doorbell.
It had been a long time since he had seen the old class monitor, so Ye Yun was naturally excited.
"Coming!"
Through the door, Ye Yun heard a muffled shout from inside the room. A second later, the door creaked open and a familiar face popped out.
Facing Shi Jin, Ye Yun stood up straight and saluted him. His words trembled as he said,"Class, class monitor, it's me!"
"Aiya, Ye Yun, it's you!”
Shi Jin's eyes were wide open. He couldn't believe that his old comrade would come looking for him. His lips were trembling. He didn't care that he was still holding a milk bottle in his hand. With a " thud ", he hugged Ye Yun.
" Why are you here, kid?!"
The two men of steel, who had not seen each other for a long time, hugged each other tightly. Their eyes were red. Such a tear-jerking scene did not look gentle at all, but full of masculinity!
"Come in quickly, come in quickly. You brat, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?”The excited Shi Jin turned to the side and let Ye Yun in." Have a seat first. I'll make some milk powder for the child!"”
Ye Yun walked into the living room and looked around the old monitor's house. Because there were children, the house was full of children's products. From the color of the furniture and electrical appliances, it was very old.
"Squeak-"
Ye Yun, who was sitting on the sofa, could clearly feel that the support spring of the sofa had lost its original elasticity. As soon as she sat down, she sank into it and could not straighten her back.
Shi Jin came out of the room after making milk powder for the child. He noticed that Ye Yun was constantly adjusting her sitting posture and said awkwardly,"I'm sorry. This sofa is broken and hasn't been repaired.”
"It's okay, Class President." Ye Yun smiled understandingly." The child is asleep?"”
"Yes, I just finished my milk powder and fell asleep!”
A familiar warm smile hung on Shi Jin's face. He patted the crumbs of milk powder on his hands, poured a glass of water for Ye Yun, and bent down to sit on the sofa opposite Ye Yun.
"Why did you suddenly think of coming over?"
Looking at the former high-spirited class monitor who now had white hair on his temples, Ye Yun sighed in his heart. With his military temper, he did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose of coming.
"Old monitor, I have an opportunity here. I want to invite you to be a mercenary with me.”
The bright smile froze on Shi Jin's face. Ye Yun's words made the corners of his mouth turn from the original upward smile to the downward one bit by bit. Each corner of his mouth gradually twisted into a big knot.
"You, you're joking with me, right?!”
"Old monitor, I'm not joking with you. It's true. Come with me and be a mercenary!”
After getting Ye Yun's confirmation, Shi Jin's face darkened, and his knuckles creaked as he clenched them.
"Ye Yun, you and I used to be soldiers. You and I both know what a mercenary is. They only care about profit and have no honor.!”
Shi Jin, who was disappointed, was furious. His face was red like a master Guan."I won't go, and neither are you!”
Anticipating such a strong reaction from Shi Jin, Ye Yun explained seriously,"
"Squad leader Shi Jin, I understand the logic, but I want to say that we veterans shouldn't just wither like this. With this ability, we can create another glory after we retire. The mercenary profession can maximize our abilities. Squad leader, whether a mercenary is good or bad depends on yourself!”
"And most importantly, class monitor, the mercenary team that I want to form is definitely not for profit. We want to crack down on foreign criminals and protect China from harassment. We want to become the law enforcers of the mercenary team and purify the mercenary team!”
"The ultimate goal is to protect the country and punish evil!”
"Bang!""Nonsense!"
Shi Jin, whose hair was about to stand on end, slammed the coffee table with his hand. He did not deny that Ye Yun's dream was good and correct, but it was still difficult for Shi Jin to accept being a mercenary.
Just as Shi Jin was about to reprimand Ye Yun again, the sound of a key opening the door rang out.
Shi Jin wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked at the entrance with Ye Yun. After a while, Shi Jin's wife walked in from the door.
"Aiyo, there's a guest here." Shi Jin's wife, Yu Xiaokui, was stunned at first, then she smiled at Ye Yun.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Ye Yun greeted Yu Xiaokui politely.
" You're welcome. Have a seat first. Shi Jin, come with me." Yu Xiaokui winked at Shi Jin.
Then, Shi Jin stood up. Before he followed Yu Xiaokui into the bedroom, he reached out and flicked Ye Yun's head to show that he was still angry.
"Bang!"
The bedroom door was closed, leaving Ye Yun sitting alone in the living room. Because of the poor soundproofing, Ye Yun could vaguely hear Squad Leader Shi Jin and his sister-in-law talking about things like " no money to buy milk powder "," think of another way "," if it really doesn't work, change to cheaper milk powder "," the child is still so young, you can't change ", and so on.
As long as it was a normal person, they would be able to read it out: Class monitor Shi Jin's family was very tight on money, and the money for the child's milk powder had already been lost.
Ye Yun felt a lump in her throat as she felt something swelling inside her body.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. My comrade is still here. I'll think of a way to get the money!”
After Shi Jin said this helplessly, he opened the door and walked out, leaving Yu Xiaokui sobbing in the room.
"I'm sorry, Ye Yun. I have something to do at home.”Shi Jin apologized to Ye Yun, who waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Ye Yun, I don't agree with what you just told me!”Shi Jin still insisted on his idea and advised,
"And don't go astray. Although mercenaries earn money, they lick blood on the edge of their knives. I have a wife and child now, so I can't go. But most importantly, mercenaries don't have the honor of being a soldier.”
Ye Yun knew that Shi Jin was determined and there was no point in saying anything more.
The soldier didn't say anything else. Ye Yun stood up and nodded solemnly.""I understand, class monitor. We're brothers. If you have any difficulties, just let me know.”
"What are you talking about? It's not difficult." Shi Jin smiled and punched Ye Yun in the chest." Let's go. I'll bring you to try our specialty dishes."”
"No, class monitor. I still have something to do. I'll leave first.”Ye Yun didn't want Shi Jin to spend money, so he wanted to leave.
"Why are you leaving so soon?"
Unable to persuade her, Ye Yun was determined to leave, so Shi Jin had no choice but to send Ye Yun out.
After Ye Yun left, when Shi Jin was cleaning up the coffee table, he found a stack of money and a note under the glass of water for Ye Yun.
"The money is for the children, class monitor."
A simple sentence instantly broke Shi Jin's defense. Tears fell on the red banknotes and formed a circle.
[Steel Seven Company: Never abandon, never give up!]
...
It was late at night, and everything was silent.
With the money given by Ye Yun, Shi Jin bought milk powder for the child.
Under the moonlight, looking at the sleeping faces of his wife and children, Shi Jin felt mixed emotions.
Others can save you from hunger, but they can't save you from hunger.
Ye Yun can give you money to buy milk powder today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? Do I have to rely on him all the time?
Gritting his teeth, the muscles at the corner of his mouth bulged. He would never let his daughter live like this again.
However, swearing was just swearing, but reality was still right in front of him.
He was just an ordinary employee now. His wife had just lost her job. The expenses of the family were not enough with that little salary.
The melancholic Shi Jin lay on his back with his hands behind his head. His heart was struggling with lightning and thunder. Ye Yun's words echoed in his ears for a long time.
"The mercenary profession can maximize our abilities. Squad leader, whether a mercenary is good or bad depends on themselves!”
"Protecting the country, fighting against evil, and preventing China from being invaded is our ultimate goal!”
" After retiring from the army, I'll create more glory!"
Family, glory, veterans, and money lingered in Shi Jin's mind.
After thinking for a long time, Shi Jin suddenly opened his eyes and sat up on the bed. He made up his mind!
He took the phone beside his pillow and sent a message to Ye Yun.
"Ye Yun, I accept your invitation to be a mercenary!”
