The car dropped Marshal Ji and the two generals off at the entrance of the military residential area.

Other than registered military family members, anyone who wanted to enter the residential area would need a password from the people inside.

The secretary had no interest in dropping them off at the entrance.

After he received Ji Xiuyun's reply, he left them at the entrance of the military residential area and slipped away.

The two generals lived in a different direction from Ji Xiuyun's, so the three of them quickly went their separate ways.

Marshal Ji walked to the entrance of his house and looked at the dark house. He turned around and walked in the direction of his teacher's house.

When Yue An was at home, the lights in the hallway and entrance would be on. However, the lights were not on today. He reckoned that Yue An was still at Marshal Kevin's house.

Ji Xiuyun did not even need to think about why Yue An was not back yet.

Most likely, it was Madam Aili who had cooked.

Lady Ellie had amazing culinary skills. When his parents had passed away, the dishes that Marshal Kevin often brought to Ji Xiuyun left a deep impression on him.

Marshal Ji did not need to think to know that Yue An, who was addicted to good food, would not let go of this opportunity.

Yue An had originally planned to go home and order takeout. He would also wait at the entrance for Ji Xiuyun to come back.

After all, Yue An was a gentle, cute, considerate, and kind kitten.

He knew very well that humans could not resist the warmth of someone waiting for them.

After all, Ji Xiuyun was his second owner. Even though he had a bad taste, Yue An felt that he was a good person.

Good people deserved the warmth and kindness of the world.

Good people who had a rough life deserved more care and gentleness. This was what the world owed them.

Yue An knew that Ji Xiuyun did not have many friends. He had been back for almost a month, but other than Marshal Kevin, no one else had come to visit him as a friend.

Therefore, this cute kitten felt that it had a heavy responsibility. Every day when Ji Xiuyun was about to come back, it would turn on the lights in the corridor outside the house. It would either squat at the entrance or spread itself out like a cat cake on the top of the low cabinet next to the entrance and sleep until Ji Xiuyun came back.

During this period of time, when Ji Xiuyun came back from going out and opened the door, he would see a white furball with beautiful blue eyes, meowing softly at him.

It was as if she had spent the entire day waiting for him, treating him as her entire world.

Even though Ji Xiuyun knew very well that Yue An went out to play during the day, every time he came home and saw the kitten waiting for him, this idea would grow uncontrollably.

This was probably what humans were like.

No matter how strong one's spirit was or how strong one's body was, deep in their hearts, they would yearn for some soft and warm emotions.

Marshal Ji stopped in front of his teacher's house and looked at the lights in the corridor in surprise.

His teacher's house did not have the habit of turning on the corridor lights.

Ji Xiuyun paused slightly and raised his hand. Before he knocked on the door, the door in front of him opened.

A soft white furball rushed out like a small cannonball. It kicked its hind legs about a meter away from him and jumped up.

Ji Xiuyun habitually opened his hands and caught the small cannonball firmly.

"Meow!"

The milky white kitten rubbed against his chest, and some of the soup on its mouth got onto his clothes.

Yue An's body was always filled with a faint milky fragrance, but at this moment, it was covered by the aroma of the food. Just as Ji Xiuyun thought, Madam Ellie was cooking.

Ji Xiuyun scratched Yue An's chin and glanced at a small plate at the entrance. There was a bowl of white soup on the plate. It was the same soup that Yue An had rubbed against him. Only a thin layer of soup was left.

Marshal Kevin poked his head out of the house and said, "Oh!" when he saw Ji Xiuyun.

Ji Xiuyun nodded at him. "Good evening, teacher."

Marshal Kevin waved his hand. "I thought this little guy liked to eat at the door. It turns out that he was waiting for you."

When Ji Xiuyun heard this, he paused and looked up at the corridor lights. He then looked down at Yue An, who was squinting his eyes in pleasure because of his scratching.

It was a small, soft and warm ball. Under the warm yellow corridor lights, its fluffy fur seemed to be flowing with a beautiful halo.

"Did you leave the lights on for me?" he asked in a low voice.

Yue An's pursed ears perked up a little and his body made a comfortable sound. He opened his mouth slightly and said, "Meow."

Ji Xiuyun looked at Yue An's appearance. Previously, when he was hit with a pot, he wanted to ruthlessly rub Yue An to punish him. But now, it was like a bonfire that was doused with a basin of water. With a "chi" sound, it was completely extinguished.

My kitten is so nice.

It's all the fault of those drama queens.

Marshal Ji thought to himself expressionlessly. He squeezed Yue An's little paw and raised his head to say goodbye to his teacher.

Marshal Kevin immediately saw through his student's thoughts and interrupted him before he could say anything. "Your teacher's wife made your share."

Ji Xiuyun was silent for two seconds and then quickly gave in.

It wasn't that he was obsessed with Lady Ellie's cooking. He was simply grateful for the silent support and comfort this outstanding woman had given him during those dark times.

Marshal Kevin and his wife had never planned to have children. Lady Ellie treated Ji Xiuyun as her own child. When Ji Xiuyun and Kevin were very close, she would often buy some local products from the planet where she was filming and send them back to Ji Xiuyun.

Now that the two of them seemed to have fallen out on the surface, Madam Ellie would occasionally send Ji Xiuyun some strange little gifts under some strange names.

Lady Ellie was a very outstanding woman. Although she was very insecure when it came to love, she was a very smart woman in other aspects.

She was very clear about the relationship between Ji Xiuyun and Kevin.

The bond between two people, after experiencing the test of life and death, couldn't be completely severed by a single reprimand.

At the very least, she was very clear that her husband and the outstanding students her husband often talked about in front of her were not people of this kind.

However, she still had to do her job properly. Therefore, when she met Ji Xiuyun outside, even if it was just an accident in the residential area, she would still put on a reserved and elegant posture and walk past him like a stranger.

The white furball stretched out one paw and hooked the man's collar. The other paw pointed at the house and meowed, as if it wanted him to go in.

Yue An was still looking forward to Lady Ellie's cooking!

Marshal Ji turned his head and glanced at the surveillance camera. He circled outside, and just like his teacher, he skillfully entered Marshal Kevin's house from the side door through the surveillance camera's blind spot.

Lady Ellie was a little surprised.

She originally thought that her husband had asked her to make Ji Xiuyun so that the Yue An could bring it back to Ji Xiuyun. She never thought that Ji Xiuyun would directly enter their house from the side door. Looking at how skillful he was, he must have done this kind of thing many times.

Lady Ellie waved the kitchen utensils in her hand and said gently, "It seems like you've been hiding a lot from me."

The teacher and disciple in the living room looked away in unison. Only Yue An, who was in Ji Xiuyun's arms, was left meowing at Lady Ellie.

There were still scattered mahjong tiles on the short table in front of the sofa.

Marshal Kevin returned to the sofa and sat down. He picked up the carving knife and a gentle stone.

Ji Xiuyun watched as his teacher beautified the ugly mahjong tiles that Yue An had carved out before quickly carving out a new one. He even asked the kitten that was squatting on the sofa if there were any mistakes in the pattern.

Yue An looked at it seriously for a while, then wagged its tail and meowed in a serious manner.

It had the demeanor of a master.

Ji Xiuyun felt that his teacher wouldn't be too idle after retiring.

Just mahjong alone was enough for him to play for a long time.

To be honest, Ji Xiuyun hadn't experienced such a dinner atmosphere in a long time.

He raised his head and looked at the couple sitting opposite him. Then, he turned his head and looked at Yue An. The white kitten stretched out its paws and tried to taste the food in his bowl.

He hadn't even touched his bowl yet.

It was the same food.

The woman's soft voice and the man's rough laughter seemed to be separated by a layer of gauze, falling into people's ears in a trance. It seemed that they couldn't hear clearly, but they could hear each and every word clearly.

The orange-yellow light was unbelievably warm.

Ji Xiuyun recalled the dining table when his parents were still around.

Marshal Ji felt that something was wrong.

Yue An's head was almost in his bowl.

Marshal Ji lifted his hand and flipped the kitten over. He rubbed the soft white ball of fur hard. After rubbing away the inexplicable sourness and anxiety in his heart, he let out a long breath.

Yue An was stunned by the sudden storm.

He was lying on his side on the table in a daze. One of his claws was still extended outwards. His mouth was slightly open, revealing his white jade-like fangs. The fur on his body was messed up, and his entire cat face was filled with confusion.

Under Yue An's confused gaze, Marshal Ji calmly used the bonfire in his heart as an excuse. He reached out and rubbed the kitten's belly. He coldly threw the blame to the kitten. "Little troublemaker."

Yue An, "…"

Yue An, "????"

He rubbed the kitten without saying anything. After rubbing it, he didn't even give it food!

He actually said that such a cute kitten was troublemaker!

Why are you so fat???

Yue An was in disbelief.

After rubbing the kitten, Ji Xiuyun was in a good mood. Even his footsteps, which were in the blind spots of the surveillance cameras, were much lighter.

Marshal Ji wanted to prevent unnecessary guesses from happening again. The next morning, he helped Yue An put on a civilian cognitive helmet. After entering the virtual community room, he taught Yue An which software to use to watch movies.

Although he had to pay for it, it wasn't expensive. Besides, Yue An was rich.

By the time Yue An finished watching six or seven movies, his busy day would be over.

There wouldn't be a situation where Yue An went to Marshal Kevin's house for a meal again, causing the media and the higher-ups to have all sorts of weird thoughts.

There wouldn't be a situation where Yue An went out to look for food and was captured by strange researchers.

It was perfect.

The marshal's little abacus crackled loudly in his heart. He watched as Yue An's small body was completely covered by the thinking helmet and remained motionless, as if he was completely immersed in the movie. After that, he walked out of the door very easily.

However, was Yue An the kind of cat that would obediently watch movies for the whole day?

Of course not.

Cats were creatures that liked the new and got tired of the old.

Yue An, who wasn't interested in the plot of the movie, started to explore the functions of the virtual community.

The civilian virtual community was different from the military virtual training room. It had more functions than the military virtual training room.

For example, in the virtual community, everyone had their own basic property.

If one wanted to upgrade the property, renovate it, or do other activities, they would need to spend money.

Even if one wanted to try the food on a planet millions of light-years away, the virtual community would only imitate the texture and taste. It wouldn't increase the feeling of fullness.

Furthermore, it required money.

Of course, the price was much cheaper than in the real world.

Simply put, it was like a simulated home system. One's house in the real world might not be spacious, but in the virtual community, one could spend a lot of money and own a mansion.

Other than having to eat regularly and clean up the body, the virtual community could do everything else. The cost was much less than in the real world, and one could live a much more luxurious life.

Therefore, many people were addicted to the virtual community. Gradually, a complete industrial chain and an income and expenditure system were formed. There were jobs and consumers, and finally, a virtual second society was created.

Yue An had just figured out something when someone came to visit Marshal Ji's virtual property.

Yue An opened the interface and saw that it was Ji Xiuyun's First Army Commander.

Yue An thought about it and thought that it would be good if someone could take him to the virtual community to play.

Yue An opened the door.

There was a long line of people behind the First Army Commander. Other than the Seventh Army Commander, everyone else was there.

"Today, Xiao Qi is in charge of following the Marshal," explained the First Army Commander.

Yue An wagged his tail and said, "Meow."

The First Army Commander smiled and took out a literacy book. He placed it in front of Yue An and said, "The Marshal said that if Xiao Yu An doesn't want to watch movies, he should study hard. He will reward you with a catmint."

Yue An, "…"

Yue An, "???"

Look at me, look at me seriously.

Am I the kind of cat that will give in for a catmint?

Yue An jumped up and snatched the book from the First Army Commander's hand. He pressed his paw on the cover.

Then, he started to study seriously.
