Back in the dormitory, the space was still small, but a little different from before. There were light blue curtains on the windows. The fabric was old and a little whitish, but it was clean.
There was a thick old carpet in the corridor beside the bed, and under the bed was a large bamboo basket, similar to a large baby basket. It was covered with soft cloth, and the part hanging outside the bamboo basket was sewn with a circle of lace, which was very delicate and beautiful.
Binunu walked past the two men and entered the house. He skillfully crawled into the bamboo basket under the bed. He rocked comfortably and patted the carpet next to the basket, signaling Black Lion to come quickly.
The Black Lion walked to the edge of the bed, crouched down, took off Binunu's ribbon, and hung it at the door together with his own.
The room was too empty for a stool or chair, so Feng Chen and Yan Bubu went straight to the bed. Feng Chen half leaned against the head of the bed, while Yan Bubu leaned on his shoulder, twisting the fabric on his uniform sleeves, just like twisting the fluff on his sweater before.
Yan Bubu was a little depressed, and after a moment he said, "We left Haiyun City to find Major General Lin and Uncle Colonel Yu, as well as the code box. But more than a year has passed, and we haven't accomplished anything."
Feng Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, as long as they are alive, we will find them."
"Are they really okay?" Yan Bubu asked, raising his head.
"Given the abilities of Major General Lin and Colonel Yu, they will be fine." Feng Chen thought for a moment and said, "In fact, I always feel that no one can make them disappear without any news for all these years. With their abilities, they can pass on information even if they are imprisoned. I always feel that... they didn't show up for some reason."
Yan Bubu asked: "You mean they don't want to show up?"
"I'm not sure, but I have this feeling." Feng Chen murmured.
He lifted Yan Bubu's chin and kissed the corner of his drooping eyes: "Don't be upset, okay? I said they are fine, so they must be fine. Don't you believe me?"
"believe."
Yan Bubu felt better after getting Feng Chen's assurance, and she tilted her head and pouted at him.
Feng Chen turned his eyes away: "I have to go to the military headquarters now, and may be back later..."
When he was talking, Yan Bubu kept pulling at his clothes. He stopped talking, lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Bubu, without moving or saying a word.
"Don't you want to make me happy? Then kiss me on the lips. How can I be happy if you just kiss my eyes?" Yan Bu said.
Feng Chen touched his lips quickly and continued, "If I come back late later, you go to bed first—"
"Can you please pay more attention? Why are you so perfunctory? You didn't even touch me." Yan Bubu was very dissatisfied.
Feng Chen asked: "What does it mean to be focused?"
"You've kissed me until my mouth is swollen and my tongue is covered with blisters and calluses. The thicker the calluses, the better," Yan Bubu replied.
Feng Chen raised his eyebrows, grabbed the flesh on his cheek and shook it: "There is a layer of callus here, so thick that even bullets can't penetrate it."
"Hurry up, hurry up, stop talking nonsense. We've already kissed several times in the time we've been talking." Yan Bubu pouted his lips high again.
Binunu poked his head out from under the bed and looked up. Feng Chen pushed his head down and then lay down on the pillow: "I'm too lazy to move. Do it yourself."
