Everyone was immediately filled with respect upon hearing this. Unexpectedly, Lin Chuan is so lucky. To be adopted by the old General as a grandson, how many people would envy that! The old General has been alone all his life without children; if Lin Chuan becomes his grandson, he will surely take on great responsibilities in the future and become a significant figure. Everyone finds it incredible just thinking about it.

"General, Lin Chuan is really fortunate," a nearby major general laughed.

"What fortune?" the old General laughed, "We're all people of bitter fate. But Lin Chuan is an eager child, and he will surely become a pillar of the country in the future."

"Isn't he already?" the major general laughed heartily.

"Not yet," the old General smiled, "Only when this kid can lead troops to fight and win without fail can he be considered a pillar of the country. For now, he is just a small talent. But I believe he will sooner or later grow into a great talent."

"Haha…" Everyone burst into laughter.

............

In Jiangbei City, Lin Chuan drove Miss Lan and the others to the Golden Shield Hotel. Tieniu and the others slept like logs. One by one, he helped them into their hotel rooms. Miss Lan had a room to herself.

"Lin Chuan, come in and sit for a while," Miss Lan giggled.

"I think I'll head back," Lin Chuan replied with an awkward smile.

"What's the rush?" Miss Lan glared at him before grabbing Lin Chuan and said, "Are you rushing back to reincarnate? It's New Year's Eve, and I traveled thousands of miles to accompany you for the New Year, can't you stay with me for a bit?"

Lin Chuan was awkwardly pulled into the room by Miss Lan.

Bam…

Miss Lan immediately closed the door, then smiled and said, "Since you're in my room, don't think about running away."

"What do you want to do?" Lin Chuan questioned.

"Hehe…" Miss Lan gave a sly smile and said, "I'm telling you, tonight I am going to devour you."

With that, Miss Lan pounced on him, pinning Lin Chuan beneath her.

Miss Lan took the initiative to kiss Lin Chuan, and the two were entangled in a passionate kiss, rolling on the bed.

Miss Lan's kissing skills were not great, but under Lin Chuan's lead, she quickly found the rhythm. The two were madly entangled, passionately kissing. Lin Chuan held Miss Lan's body as they kissed fervently on the bed.

Miss Lan's body was very flexible and was full of elasticity and softness all over. Her curves were perfect, with a full and captivating figure. Lin Chuan's hands kept caressing Miss Lan's body, slipping gently into her clothes.

Hmm…

Miss Lan let out a soft moan and accidentally bit the tip of Lin Chuan's tongue.

"Ah!" Lin Chuan screamed in pain.

"I'm sorry!" Miss Lan hurriedly said.

Lin Chuan's tongue had already been bitten to the point of bleeding. Both of them felt incredibly awkward and uncomfortable. Miss Lan quickly asked, "Lin Chuan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Lin Chuan shook his head: "It's just a tiny break in the skin."

"That's good," Miss Lan blushed slightly.

"Alright, I should head back," Lin Chuan said with an embarrassed smile.

"Are you really going to leave?" Miss Lan bit her red lip, "Can you bear to leave me here alone?"

"What should I do then?" Lin Chuan said helplessly.

"Stay with me," Miss Lan pursed her red lips, "Stay with me until ten o'clock."

Lin Chuan looked up at the clock on the wall; it was already 8:30 PM. There was still an hour and a half until ten o'clock. After thinking about it, it didn't seem like a bad idea, and Nuo Xiaoxi was probably at home watching the Spring Festival Gala. So, Lin Chuan nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll stay."

"Good," Miss Lan exclaimed excitedly and snuggled into Lin Chuan's embrace.

Lin Chuan leaned against the headboard, with Miss Lan nestled in his arms, like a little bird relying on a person. If Tieniu and the others saw this, they would probably be drop-jawed. Usually so bold and carefree, like a tough guy, Miss Lan surprisingly showed such gentle and clinging behavior.

"Lin Chuan, do you have any plans for after the New Year?" Miss Lan asked.

"I plan to take those brothers overseas for development," Lin Chuan said earnestly.

"Really?" Miss Lan was taken aback, "Why do you want to do that?"

"Because that's the only way to find a path," Lin Chuan laughed.

"The world abroad is vast," Miss Lan smiled, "And the stage overseas is big enough for you all to do your thing."

"It's not just for personal gain," Lin Chuan glanced at Miss Lan, "It's also more about considering the collective interests, you understand?"

"I understand!" Miss Lan nodded, then smiled, "And I support you, I support anything you do. If you want to go abroad, in the future, our Dark Soldier will help you conquer the world."

"Haha, that won't work," Lin Chuan laughed loudly, "If the old General finds out, he'll probably have my hide."

"He won't," Miss Lan shook her head and said, "The old General is not that kind of person."

"Mm," Lin Chuan nodded, "The old General has indeed treated me kindly."

"So... when do you plan to pay respects to the old General this New Year?" Miss Lan asked curiously.

"The second day of the New Year." Lin Chuan replied.

"Alright, I'll wait for you." Miss Lan said excitedly, "We'll go back together then."

"Mm!" Lin Chuan nodded.

Miss Lan, hugging Lin Chuan, looked up at him and said, "Lin Chuan, when do you plan to get married?"

Lin Chuan chuckled, "Why the rush? I wasn't in a hurry even when my mom was around, so I'm not in a rush now either."

"You!" Miss Lan gave him an annoyed look, then said, "You have no self-awareness at all. Aren't you afraid of making your mom angry in heaven?"

"Isn't it like the eunuch is more anxious than the emperor?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Are you cursing me?" Miss Lan glared at Lin Chuan.

"How dare I curse you?" Lin Chuan shook his head hurriedly and said, "I wouldn't dare."

"Then explain what you meant by that just now." Miss Lan flipped over and sat on Lin Chuan, angrily saying, "If you don't clarify, you're not leaving today."

Lin Chuan embraced Miss Lan, then pinned her beneath him, grabbing her chest with a smirk, "What do you plan to do? Are you not going to let me go without conquering me today?"

"Hehe, you know what?" Miss Lan's lips curled into a smile.

"What are we waiting for, come on then." Lin Chuan grinned.

Rip...

Lin Chuan tore off Miss Lan's leather jacket, revealing her fair skin immediately. There were a few scars on her body, but they did nothing to diminish Miss Lan's beauty; instead, they made her exude a wild charm.

With her clothes off, her fair skin, proud chest, and irresistible allure were revealed.

Thud...

Lin Chuan immediately turned Miss Lan over, deftly pulling down her pants. Underneath was a pair of black lace-trimmed underwear, nearly disappearing into the recesses of her body.

Hiss...

Lin Chuan took a sharp breath; he had seen Miss Lan's upper body often but never her lower half. Seeing it for the first time, he felt almost enchanted. Lin Chuan smoothly took off the ***.

"Ah!" Miss Lan exclaimed in surprise.

This scream immediately brought Lin Chuan to his senses. Before Miss Lan could react, Lin Chuan raised his hand and landed a hard slap on her buttocks.

Slap slap...

Two crisp sounds.

"Ah!" Miss Lan screamed again. Those two slaps made her buttocks turn red immediately, with two red palm prints appearing. The prints seemed like five-fingered mountains.

After delivering two slaps, Lin Chuan bolted away.

By the time Miss Lan reacted, Lin Chuan had already made his grand escape.

"Lin Chuan, you bastard." Miss Lan chased to the door only to find herself stark naked, so she could only open a crack and shout hysterically outside.

Lin Chuan dared not linger; if Miss Lan caught him, she'd probably tear him in half.

Upon returning home, Nuo Xiaoxi was lying on the couch watching the Spring Festival Gala, with the heater on making the whole room very warm. Outside, the cold wind was blowing, seemingly foretelling snow.

"Brother Lin, you're back?" Nuo Xiaoxi heard the door open and quickly got up to greet him.

"Mm!" Lin Chuan nodded.

"How are your friends?" Nuo Xiaoxi asked with concern.

"They're all resting in the hotel." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"It's really hard for them." Nuo Xiaoxi sighed softly, "Spending the New Year in a hotel, a time meant for family reunions."

"For them, a reunion doesn't really matter." Lin Chuan touched Nuo Xiaoxi's face and said, "Being together is the biggest reunion."

"Really?" Nuo Xiaoxi seemed puzzled and asked curiously, "Are they all orphans?"

"Not all of them." Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Some bonds are more important than family ties."

"Oh!" Nuo Xiaoxi nodded, somewhat understanding, and said, "Like the bond between me and Brother Lin?"

"Haha..." Lin Chuan laughed heartily, "Yes, you're right."

"Hehe..." Nuo Xiaoxi giggled.

"Keep watching the Spring Festival Gala." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

The room was very warm. Lin Chuan took off his coat and handed it to Nuo Xiaoxi, who hung it on the coat rack at the door. Lin Chuan wore a base-layer shirt and lay on the couch. On the couch was a quilt, and wrapped in it, with the heater on and watching TV, the New Year's Eve was indeed quite enjoyable. Nuo Xiaoxi nestled in Lin Chuan's arms, and although the two had no blood relation, they shared the most intimate feelings in the world.
