Chapter 312: Chapter 298: The Fourth Move

This isn’t like being in prison, this is being in prison.

There’s food, drink, and even an indoor toilet, because Libya used to be quite a rich country. At least Tripoli is still decent. Although we’re in an ordinary suburban house, the infrastructure is well-developed, so there’s no sewage running in the streets.

The food isn’t great—just flatbread, canned food, and army rations every day—but at least we’re fed.

Then, due to lack of space, naturally, a few people have to share a room, and Gao Yi and Lucy were assigned to the same room by default. A man and a woman alone together—it would be strange if nothing happened.

Logically speaking, that’s the case, but oddly enough, no one heard anything.

Another morning, several people, bursting with frustration, gathered again in the living room. Seeing that Gao Yi and Lucy hadn’t come out yet, Feng Biao was the first to speak. "Today, some things must be made clear, or I won’t feel settled."

Feng Biao’s tone was very serious and carried a heavy resentment.

Li Jie knew what Feng Biao wanted to say, and he nodded, saying, "I feel the same."

Lin Xianghua hesitated for a moment, then said, "That doesn’t seem right, it’s the boss’s personal matter."

Feng Biao seriously said, "What’s a personal matter, and what’s public? Yesterday, Khalid couldn’t hold back and asked me. Brothers, now we’re not just worried about problems of inaction, but whether our boss might have some problems—physical or psychological?"

Luca sighed lightly and said, "It must be psychological, but... based on my observations, he’s not interested in men."

Lin Xianghua exclaimed, "Could it be he likes 2D characters? Not interested in real-life beings?"

Li Jie indifferently said, "The boss said he’s now practicing Child’s Skill, isn’t that reason enough? So, I think you’re just overly anxious."

Feng Biao looked at Li Jie with a fierce expression and said, "Child’s Skill? Okay, he’s already invincible, so what more can he achieve through training—invincibility on top of invincibility? Guarding such a seductive beauty, yet not making a move? What, is he practicing some secret deadly martial arts?"

Li Jie fell silent.

Feng Biao lowered his voice and said, "The reason I’m anxious isn’t that I’m bored; it’s because life is slipping by. If you don’t do what young people should do and one day you die or become too old, won’t you regret wasting your youth and life?"

Li Jie disdainfully said, "You’re just bored."

Luca suddenly said, "Could there be a possibility that both the boss and Lucy are completely inexperienced and they don’t know how to make the next move?"

"Sleeping in the same room every day, even a fool would know what to do. What if the boss has been hurt in the past? But we can’t ask that, and even if we did, the boss wouldn’t say."

Lin Xianghua, worried that Gao Yi might hear, spoke in an extremely low voice.

Just then, they heard the sound of a door being pushed open from behind, and everyone immediately fell silent.

Gao Yi walked out leisurely.

There was some sweat on his forehead, looking somewhat tired, but he appeared very robust. He sat down cross-legged on the carpet in the living room, and with a satisfied expression, Gao Yi said, "The injury on my shoulder is completely healed. I practiced two sets of Kung Fu, and it felt so good."

No one spoke, and Gao Yi asked curiously, "What’s wrong? What’s going on with you guys today?"

Everyone remained silent.

Unable to restrain himself, Gao Yi said, "What do you mean? You all seem off today."

Finally, Feng Biao looked at Gao Yi and said, "You’ve been teaching Lucy how to be human lately, how’s that going?"

"It’s okay, sigh, it’s pretty laborious. Reshaping her worldview is actually simple—letting her know what she can and can’t do, that’s easy to handle. But the psychological barriers that were ingrained in her from a young age, I really have no solution!"

Gao Yi sighed heavily with a look of helplessness, "For example, these days I can’t even undress while sleeping because the last time I just began to undress, Lucy jumped over the bed and kicked at me with a sterilizing leg kick. Really, if I hadn’t been quick and skilled, that kick would have definitely sterilized me."

Lin Xianghua exclaimed, "You two are so intimate, she’s practically your woman, and yet she still behaves like this? Can’t she overcome this psychological barrier?"

Gao Yi corrected him seriously, "You’re mistaken, intimate as we may be, she isn’t my woman."

"She even calls you master..."

"That’s a different matter. She calls me master because she has psychological barriers. If I took her now, wouldn’t that be taking advantage of her?"

These words from Gao Yi left the group somewhat speechless.

Seeing everyone at a loss for words, Gao Yi sighed, "Teaching Lucy how to be human is actually quite boring, not as fulfilling as teaching her Kung Fu. Although her thinking and actions have already formed, and it’s difficult to instill new things, practicing more is always good."

Everyone was still quiet. Suddenly, Luca asked, "Have you ever asked her?"

Gao Yi was taken aback and looked at Luca.

Luca said very seriously, "A very simple but important question—have you ever asked her if she likes you? If Lucy doesn’t like you, then she might just see you as her master because she hasn’t yet adjusted to being free. But if Lucy does like you, then her psychological barrier or instinctual responses are just a psychological illness."

Feng Biao clapped his hands, "That makes sense!"

Luca continued seriously, "If Lucy likes you but due to long-term instinctual training attacks you, then you should help her heal, instead of letting her struggle alone with her psychological illness. This kind of psychological illness is hard to overcome without outside help."

Feng Biao nodded repeatedly, "Exactly! With your martial arts skills, are you afraid of her attacking you? So what does this mean? This is what you call a perfect match!"

Li Jie said to Gao Yi, "Now that it’s come to this point, if you’re still a man, go ask her right now!"

A perfect example of the saying, "The eunuchs are more anxious than the emperor."

But the problem was, if the emperor was anxious too, then those eunuchs were just being anxious about what the emperor was anxious about and then they gave a good suggestion.

Gao Yi suddenly stood up, his aura fierce, and started to head back, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and said, "None of you come over here. If I find out any of you dare eavesdrop, I’ll... hmm."

"No way, no way!"

"We don’t even care to listen."

"Just go, it’s really urgent."

Luca said to Gao Yi with a philosophical remark, "Don’t let the person who loves you wait too long."

Encouraged, Gao Yi strode back to his room door with fierce determination, took a deep breath, and knocked.

"Come in."

Lucy was in the room, wearing a black robe without a headscarf.

It was just a few pieces of clothing, Lucy wore the black robe as pajamas, and she quite liked it because the robe resembled a nun’s habit, and it made her feel comfortable.

She probably wasn’t wearing anything underneath the robe.

Lucy looked at Gao Yi calmly, and Gao Yi, with fierce energy, said, "You..."

He said ’you’ and then couldn’t speak any further. Lucy, puzzled, said, "What?"

Gao Yi gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Do you like me?"

Lucy was stunned, looking somewhat astonished, but she didn’t hesitate to say, "You are my master, of course, I like you."

"No, it has nothing to do with any master, and besides, I’ve told you many times, you are free, and no one can be your master."

"I like you, that’s why I let you be the master."

Lucy spread her hands and then said very seriously, "Otherwise, I would try to kill you."

Gao Yi looked relieved and said, "So that’s it, that’s great."

"Why are you asking now, what do you want to do?"

"You!"

Gao Yi stepped forward, stopping two steps away from Lucy, and then with a serious look, he asked, "Would you like to be my woman? Oh no, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Lucy’s facial expressions were fascinating as she frowned and said, "Yes, wait a second, what was our relationship before?"

"Forget those, consider it groundwork."

Gao Yi thought about the tutorial videos he had watched. No, they were all too direct, lacking confessions and transitions that naturally led to acting.

Never mind, such things can’t be learned, they come naturally.

First hug, then kiss, the rest can be discussed later.

Gao Yi walked forward, and Lucy, staring blankly at him, then excitedly closed her eyes.

With full spirit, he hugged her and managed to kiss her smoothly.

Excitement, immense excitement, but at that moment, the extremely vigilant Gao Yi noticed that Lucy involuntarily raised her calf, and then her restless hand suddenly brushed over her calf.

Things were not looking good. Gao Yi’s left arm instantly shot out, but in Lucy’s right hand appeared a delicate small pistol. Although Gao Yi grabbed her wrist, she still pulled the trigger.

The bullet couldn’t possibly hit Gao Yi, but the loud bang of the gunshot startled Lucy.

A small bullet hole appeared in the carpet, and Lucy, looking panicked, said, "I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose, I... I..."

"It’s okay, I’ll cure you."

Nonchalantly sweeping down, Gao Yi snatched the gun from Lucy’s hand, stepped back, ejected the magazine, pulled back the slide to clear the chamber, and then casually threw the small pistol to the ground and carried on.

Lucy eagerly met him; she puckered her lips, but her right leg made a silent and incredibly fast knee strike straight to Gao Yi’s lower abdomen.

Gao Yi moved much slower and more awkwardly than usual, but he still clenched his waist and lowered his left hand to block Lucy’s knee strike. Then with his right hand, he reached behind and wrapped it around Lucy’s neck.

Classic close combat.

He had to control her without hurting Lucy, so the usually three-move Gao Yi this time used four moves to completely subdue Lucy.

As the fourth move was executed, a cry of pain sounded.
