Discussing The Correct Posture To Enjoy Dog Food

I am really sorry guys for the no updates for the past 2 weeks. I've been really busy with my college, you know research paper publication and stuff. It's still not over but I will definitely compensate with more updates after it is over. (o'r10)

While Shi Buyu was busy repairing the train with Zhou Gao and Jiang Ren, Gou Liang and the others were equally occupied. Yu Lin and Qin Bei were taking inventory, while Gou Liang was recording the stock and calculating the energy units contained within the beast cores they had collected.

Yu Lin and Qin Bei were both excited about the unexpected haul from the day's events, praising Yu Sen for his quick thinking. As modest as ever, Yu Sen said, "It's all thanks to the captain's training. Back when we had missions along the border to deal with mutant rats, this was the trick we used."

Hearing this, Gou Liang asked curiously, "Why do the others all call Shi Xiaoyu 'boss,' but you always call him 'captain'?"

Yu Sen suddenly looked embarrassed, and Yu Lin burst out laughing, eager to spill his brother's secrets. "Our boss joined the force at just eight or nine years old, and not in some logistics or tech division either. He was out there on active duty, doing real missions, and he pulled off some pretty impressive feats. He earned several first-class merits."

"By the time he retired from frontline duty to become an instructor, he wasn't even twenty yet."

"We were all fresh recruits at the time, a bit clueless, and seeing how young and good-looking he was-prettier than some of the performers in the arts division-we didn't take him seriously. But not like my little bro here he was dumb enough to challenge the boss to a duel. And I remember him getting his ass handed to him real bad. Didn't you, Yu Sen? Wasn't there something about you running ten laps around the base, bare-assed, shouting 'Captain, I was wrong"?"

Yu Lin chuckled heartily at the memory but became a bit more reflective. "After that, we followed the boss into the First Army of China, and Yu Sen never changed the way he addressed him."

The weight of history hung in the air for a moment as they all silently acknowledged how even the great First Army had now become a thing of the past.

But Gou Liang's mind was focused on something else entirely. He glanced at Yu Sen's backside, then at everyone else's, before stating confidently, "So, even back then, Shi Xiaoyu had a preference for big butts."

The group froze.

Immediately, Yu Lin and Qin Bei turned their attention to Yu Sen's behind. Yu Lin even squeezed it, saying, "You know, I never noticed until now. You've got more junk in the trunk than I do, bro."

Yu Sen's face remained expressionless as he replied, "Brother, do you remember the last time I beat you up? Was it because you took my food or my toys?"

"Uh, can't remember," Yu Lin said, grinning.

But that's fine. You'll remember this time after I beat you up for being so grabby!"

Yu Sen immediately grabbed his brother's hand, and the two started playfully wrestling. Yu Lin used a "monkey steals the peach" move, while Yu Sen countered with a "landslide" technique, making it clear they were ready to brawl. However, after only a few exchanges, Qin Bei broke in, exasperated. "Can you two focus on your work? And, Tang Laoshi, don't listen to their nonsense. Our boss's tastes might be strange, but he's not that pervy."

"Shi Xiaoyu told me this himself," Gou Liang said, glancing at the system monitor and spotting the blind spot heading their way-a big one.

Qin Bei laughed. "He was joking, of course."

"But he doesn't seem to like me as much anymore," Gou Liang said, surprising the trio.

The three men blinked. "Huh?!"

"He doesn't like touching me anymore. When I try to touch him, he pulls away, and he won't let me exercise my boyfriend privileges..." Gou Liang paused his data entry, looking troubled. "So, Shi Xiaoyu isn't avoiding me because my butt shrank?"

Outside, Shi Buyu had just arrived and overheard the last part of the conversation. Instantly, he radiated killing intent.

How dare these shameless guys encourage his pure-hearted Gou Liang to discuss such X-rated topics?!

He stormed in, glaring at Yu Lin and Qin Bei, his voice cold as ice. "What are you talking about?"

He fixed Yu Lin and Qin Bei with a deadly look, clearly identifying them as the prime suspects.

Yu Lin immediately ducked behind Yu Sen, shouting, "Boss, it's not our fault! It was Tang Laoshi who said he wanted to use his boyfriend!"

Shi Buyu turned to Gou Liang with a look of utter confusion.

Gou Liang nodded solemnly, confirming Yu Lin's statement.

"That time when the female snake beast was calling out, you... got hard," Gou Liang said matter-of-factly. "You had needs, but... you didn't need me."

An awkward silence fell over the group as they all stared at Shi Buyu, whose face was now a blank canvas of shock.

Without a word, Shi Buyu scooped Gou Liang into his arms and addressed the team, his tone deadly serious. "Finish taking inventory. If you're not done before dawn, the mission isn't complete. Understood?"

"Yes, Major!" The five of them responded in unison, watching as Shi Buyu carried Gou Liang away. As soon as they rounded the corner, the sound of Shi Buyu's footsteps turned into a frantic sprint.

Shi Buyu dashed back to the first train carriage, bursting through the door. Before even unfolding the bed, he kicked the door shut and pinned Gou Liang against the wall, kissing him fiercely.

There was a sharp click as the door lock engaged.

With their private space secured, Shi Buyu became increasingly unrestrained. His hands slid under Gou Liang's clothes, his hot palms pressing against Gou Liang's warm skin. After indulging in the silky texture for a moment, he unceremoniously yanked Gou Liang's pants down and squeezed his plump rear.

"Xiao Keng'er..." Shi Buyu growled.

He stepped closer, pressing his chest against Gou Liang's arched body as he devoured his surprised gasp with another heated kiss.

With one rough hand kneading the soft, round flesh, Shi Buyu's movements were laced with an almost frantic intensity. Gou Liang, however, loved every second of it, clinging tightly to Shi Buyu's neck and standing on tiptoe, returning the kiss with passion. His soft moans only served to drive Shi Buyu Wilder.

"Shi Xiaoyu..." Gou Liang panted.

Shi Buyu tore down his pants and hoisted him up. Gou Liang instinctively wrapped his legs around Shi Buyu's waist.

After a deep, breath-stealing kiss, Shi Buyu pulled back, listening to Gou Liang's ragged breaths.

The glistening peach blossom eyes that stared back at him were enchanting, drawing him in. He couldn't help but soften. Slowing down, he began to kiss Gou Liang gently, over and over, as his calloused hands caressed Gou Liang's smooth legs, eventually resting on his now- warm backside.

"Who says your butt got smaller? I love it," Shi Buyu murmured, giving the soft flesh another squeeze before grinding his hardness against Gou Liang's inner thigh.

"And who said I don't want you? I've wanted you so badly."

Their foreheads pressed together, Shi Buyu spoke in a low voice.

Gou Liang's face was flushed, tinged with pink from either shyness or the lack of air. But his gaze remained fixed on Shi Buyu, unwavering, as he softly whispered, "But you didn't act on it."

Just yesterday, he had tried to touch Shi Buyu's gun, but he had refused to let him.

Thinking of this, Gou Liang shot him a sulky glance.

Shi Buyu's resolve almost crumbled under that look, his body trembling with barely contained desire. Gritting his teeth, he held on to the last thread of self-control. "Yu Lin said couples who sleep together before three months never end well."

Gou Liang, undeterred, slid his hands under Shi Buyu's shirt, brushing over his muscular chest as he blinked innocently. "Did he have a partner?"

Shi Buyu was momentarily stumped, and then his brows furrowed. "He's had hookups."

Gou Liang raised an eyebrow. "So, you think his experience applies to us?"

"Of course not!" Shi Buyu suddenly cursed. "I swear I'm going to beat the crap out of him!"

Gou Liang's fingers trailed down to Shi Buyu's abs. "And after that, make him run ten laps around the train naked, shouting 'Tang Laoshi, I was wrong."

"Deal!" Shi Buyu pressed him harder against the wall, spreading Gou Liang's legs further apart, his movements increasingly urgent.

"You say it too," Gou Liang teased, poking his firm abs.

Shi Buyu leaned in, kissing him deeply while roughly caressing him. His voice was thick with desire as he whispered, "Xiao Keng'er, I was wrong."

"Mm, I accept."

Gou Liang's hand reached down, brushing against Shi Buyu's military belt. "So... can I use my little boyfriend now?"

"Damn!" Shi Buyu growled, swearing under his breath.

Gasping, he kissed Gou Liang fiercely again, his hands hurriedly unbuckling his belt and guiding Gou Liang's slightly cool hand to the heat inside. As their skin touched, Shi Buyu groaned, "Xiao Keng'er... is this how you want to use your little boyfriend, hmm?"

Gou Liang bit his lip, closed his eyes, and said, "It's not small at all."

Shi Buyu chuckled, feeling both happy and proud. The banana-flavored soul energy sweetened even further!

"And more importantly... do you like it, Xiao Keng'er?"

"I like you," Gou Liang responded, constantly returning his kisses. His ears were already red, his long eyelashes trembling. He opened his dazed eyes and softly sighed, "It feels so good."

Shi Buyu smiled, "It'll feel even better soon."

Ding, mission progress updated: Current mission progress: 11%!

He kissed Gou Liang's lips harder, his hand still holding him. Soon, Gou Liang's legs turned weak. Feeling him sliding down, Shi Buyu quickly lifted and carried him back to his bed. He locked the folding bed in place and pressed him down on it.

The two were entwined, kissing each other fervently, touching and exploring.

Shi Buyu soon found his entrance, but it was delicate, not yet ready for roughness.

Rising slightly, Shi Buyu comfortingly kissed Gou Liang, who didn't want to let go, then hurried to find the medical kit.

Gou Liang watched him anxiously dump everything out, amused by how this usually calm and composed man was now completely disorganized. He knew Shi Buyu had been holding back for a long time-ever since the mission progress had stalled at 10%, kissing alone wasn't enough for him anymore.

Finally, Shi Buyu found the tube of anti-inflammatory cream, and after a quick scan of the instructions, he clutched it tightly, delighted.

When he turned back, he was surprised to see Gou Liang had already turned over, half-kneeling on the bed, curiously trying to see what was about to happen.

Shi Buyu's desire surged to an even greater level, and he rushed back to Gou Liang's side in one swift movement.

Gou Liang glanced at him, biting his lip, finally showing a rare hint of nervousness.

Shi Buyu kissed Gou Liang's reddened hip and gently asked, "Is it sore?"

"No, I like it," Gou Liang shook his head. "I like you, everything about you."

Shi Buyu was completely melted by his sweetness, and the urgent desires inside him were tempered by a wave of tenderness. Determined to be as gentle as possible, he kissed Gou Liang again.

Just as he opened the tube of ointment and squeezed it into his palm, an ear-piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire train.

With a loud 'pop', the tube burst in his hand.

As the train sped toward City C for an emergency rescue mission, Shi Buyu's expression was darker than a storm cloud. Gou Liang sat beside him, his face impassive, but he kept his gaze fixed on Yu Lin.

Yu Lin, feeling a chill down his spine, scooted a little further away and asked nervously, "Tang Laoshi, why are you looking at me like that..."

He was innocent! This emergency alarm had nothing to do with his single-dog frustrations!

Gou Liang remained silent, but Shi Buyu let out a cold snort and said, "Did you say that having sex before three months of dating always leads to bad outcomes?"

Yu Lin froze, taking a moment to recall. "Wait, you mean that time before I retired? We were chatting one night in the barracks, and I might have said something like that... but that was over a decade ago!"

Realizing this was related to Gou Liang's earlier complaint about being "unsatisfied," Yu Lin looked utterly bewildered. "Boss... you didn't actually take that seriously, did you?"

Qin Bei, who was driving, and the others-Yu Sen, Zhou Gao, and Jiang Ren-immediately bit their tongues to suppress their laughter.

Gou Liang said, "So, you were lying."

Shi Buyu shot a withering glare at Yu Lin, who had once boasted of his rich dating experience back in the military, and said, "Tang Laoshi says you need to run ten laps around the train tomorrow, naked, shouting, Tang Laoshi, I was wrong."

"What? I'm innocent here! I swear, Boss, I didn't mean it like that!"

""Or would you rather I beat you up?"

Yu Lin turned to Gou Liang, pleading, "Tang Laoshi, can't we work something out? Look at me-I'm practically an old man!"

Gou Liang calmly raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so now you're saying I don't respect the elderly."

Yu Lin wisely shut his mouth.

Finally, Yu Sen and the others couldn't hold back their laughter anymore.

Gou Liang shot Yu Lin another glare, still upset, and snuggled back into Shi Buyu's arms, pretending to nap while wrapping his arms tightly around his waist. Shi Buyu pulled him closer, shielding his ears from the noise with one hand while typing a response to General Yao on his computer with the other.

City C was only about thirty minutes away from their current location, and it was the next planned stop for their team. General Yao, aware of their itinerary, had immediately shared the distress signal from the city when a drone detected signs of life and received an SOS from survivors.

Shi Buyu had no reason to refuse, though internally, he very much wanted to.

"Old Zhou," he called out.

"Yes!" Zhou Gao quickly straightened up, still suppressing his laughter as he looked eagerly at Shi Buyu. "Boss, what do you need me to do?"

Though Shi Buyu was in a foul mood, he didn't take it out on anyone. His voice remained calm. "We'll reach the coordinates in three minutes. You, Yu Sen, and Jiang Ren will stay on the train. Yu Lin, Qin Bei, and I will go down to rescue the survivors."

"What about me?" Gou Liang mumbled.

Shi Buyu kissed his temple to soothe him and said gently, "Didn't you want cabbage and pork dumplings, fish-flavored eggplant, and spicy mashed potatoes? We picked up seeds for all those vegetables from the garden. How about we have Yu Sen speed up their growth so you can enjoy them soon?"

"Fine..." Although the prospect of food couldn't quite heal his hurt feelings, Gou Liang still obediently agreed, patting Shi Buyu's abs. "But you have to come back quickly."

Hearing this, Shi Buyu was already eager to return even before he had left.

Once they disembarked, Yu Sen dutifully asked, "Tang Laoshi, can you show me the cabbage, eggplant, and potato seeds? I'll get them growing right away."

"I'll get them for you," Gou Liang replied.

[System: Master! How can you be so calm?! One of the survivors is the original host's cousin! The soul connection exceeds 60%! If he realizes you're not the real Tang Tang, we're finished!!]

[Gou Liang: Relax.]

The system, facing the biggest crisis of its existence, was anxiously glued to the system monitor. At the same time, Qin Bei set up the soundwave disruptor and opened the entrance to the underground parking lot of a nearby shopping mall. He called out, "This is the rescue team from the Jiuzhou Base! Survivors, please don't panic; we're here to help you."

"We're over here!"

"Thank God, someone's finally here!"

"We're saved! We're saved!"

As the headlights shone into the pitch-black parking lot, the long-estranged survivors cried tears of pain from the brightness but refused to blink, staring at the source of light with hope.

"How many of you are there?" Qin Bel asked.

"Six!" A man answered.

"There were over fifty of us at first, but now only six are left..." a woman sobbed.

After the blocked exit was cleared, the six survivors were told they could come out. Despite being weakened by hunger and exhaustion, they rushed out as fast as they could.

"Don't panic. Come out one at a time," Qin Bei said as he helped each survivor climb out. He was surprised to find that five of the six survivors were women.

Yu Lin distributed water to them, helping to calm their frazzled nerves. When the last survivor was pulled out, Yu Lin paused, looking him over carefully before asking, "Excuse me, sir, are you Mr. Bao Zi?"

"That's me! Do we know each other?" Bao Zi gripped Yu Lin's hand tightly, tears of relief streaming down his face.

"I've seen you before at a social event," Yu Lin explained. "Aren't you Tang Tang's, Tang Laoshi's cousin?"

Sitting on the hood of the car, keeping watch, Shi Buyu's ears perked up at the mention of "Tang Laoshi's cousin." He glanced toward the man, who, with a sudden burst of energy, jumped into Yu Lin's arms, shouting, "Cousin! Tang Tang-he's my cousin, my real cousin! You've gotta know the Tang family from A City, right? Thank you for saving me. When we get back, I'll have my aunt and my cousin throw you a banquet, and my whole family will be forever grateful!"

He seemed entirely unaware of the apocalyptic world around him.

Yu Lin didn't rush to explain the situation but smiled and said, "Tang Laoshi is on the train. I'm sure he'll be very happy to see you."

"What? My cousin's here?!" Bao Zi was shocked. "He hardly ever leaves the house. Why'd he come all the way out here? Oh, he must've known I was trapped here, right? My cousin may be fat, but he's a legend! I love my fat cousin! So, can I see him now?"

"Of course," Yu Lin said, adding with a smile, "but don't be too surprised when you see him. He's changed a lot."

"What do you mean, changed? Did he actually lose weight or something? Hahaha."

Relaxed and joking, Bao Zi climbed onto the train. The moment he laid eyes on Gou Liang, his jaw dropped. "What the hell?! Tang Fatty, where the hell did you get that plastic surgery?!"
