"Damn! This is such a big loss, letting your man see me using the bathroom. I'm going to gouge out that brat's eyes." Zhao Ruonan clenched her fists in anger.

Yang Yushi chuckled bitterly and said, "You can't blame him for that. You barged in without asking, and he was behind the curtain. You even pulled the curtain open."

"Nonsense, he should've warned me as soon as I entered! He did that on purpose."

"Ruonan, in that situation, don't you think warning you might make you more embarrassed? And if you got scared and held it in, wouldn't that cause some problem? That'd be harmful to you."

Zhao Ruonan shouted angrily, "Ah, Yang Yushi, you're obviously favoring romance over friendship. You're defending him everywhere, not caring about my feelings at all."

"I'm not! I'm just stating facts. Besides, he's not my boyfriend. He's Song Xiaodong. Don't you know?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruonan's eyes widened even more, "Damn, it's him! That playboy, I've long wanted to teach him a good lesson."

"Is that really necessary?" Yang Yushi frowned with a bitter smile.

"Absolutely!" Zhao Ruonan sprang up, rushed to the bathroom door, and shouted loudly, "I'll give you five minutes, then get out here!"

"Yes!" a loud response came from inside from Song Xiaodong.

In less than five minutes, Song Xiaodong came out neatly dressed, saluted in front of Zhao Ruonan, and said loudly, "Former Captain of the Dragon Thorn Squad, Song Xiaodong, reporting for orders, Senior Officer!"

Although Song Xiaodong didn't care about officers in civilian life, as a soldier, a true iron-blooded soldier, he had to obey orders. He required his subordinates to do so, and he did the same for his superiors.

Seeing Zhao Ruonan with her junior general rank, he demonstrated the qualities a soldier should have.

Zhao Ruonan also stood up and saluted, then shouted, "Report your rank!"

"Colonel!"

"Colonel Song Xiaodong, now tell me, what are the three main disciplines and eight points of attention for soldiers?"

Song Xiaodong immediately recited them loudly.

"Looks like you haven't forgotten you're a soldier. So why haven't you restrained your behavior, with so many women, ruining a soldier's image?" Zhao Ruonan glared at him fiercely.

"Reporting, Senior Officer, this was all after my retirement, and I have reported to other senior officers, so it's not against regulations!"

"They actually allowed you to mess around like that?" Zhao Ruonan frowned.

"Yes! The specific situation involves secrets. If the Senior Officer wants to know the details, please visit General Lu Lang for inquiry."

"Don't use Lu Lang to pressure me!" Zhao Ruonan glared, although Lu Lang was also a junior general, his qualifications were well-known, she obviously couldn't question Lu Lang.

Besides, with Lu Lang's identity, he couldn't decide on this matter. It must be someone with even more profound background higher up to make such promises to Song Xiaodong, indicating that he had an extremely powerful backing, unimaginable to them.

Zhao Ruonan and Yang Yushi exchanged a glance, both showing signs of shock on their faces.

"Song Xiaodong!" Zhao Ruonan suddenly shouted again.

"Here!" Song Xiaodong immediately responded loudly.

"What happened in the bathroom just now, other than the three of us, I don't want a fourth person to know. Otherwise, I will hold you responsible."

"Rest assured, Senior Officer, I will definitely not mention it to a fourth person."

"Sit down!" Zhao Ruonan then waved her hand.

Once Song Xiaodong sat down, Yang Yushi rolled her eyes at Zhao Ruonan and said, "Hey, Zhao Ruonan, Xiaodong is my guest. Please don't bring that military demeanor here."

Zhao Ruonan rolled her eyes and said, "Already done."

"Pfft..." Yang Yushi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiaodong, you don't have to be so formal. Even if her rank is higher than yours, that's outside. Now you're in my house, you can do whatever you want, you're both my guests."

Song Xiaodong said, "A senior officer is a senior officer, no matter the occasion or location, I must respect the senior officer."

Zhao Ruonan's face showed a satisfied expression, "That's more like it. Well, since we're at Yushi's home, let's not discuss ranks."

"Yes!" Song Xiaodong relaxed his shoulders and leaned on the sofa, a faint smile on his face.

"Pfft, you change really fast." Zhao Ruonan couldn't help but pull a face.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "I was only following the Senior Officer's orders."

Regarding Zhao Ruonan as the senior officer, Song Xiaodong did show enough respect, but it didn't mean he had to follow Zhao Ruonan in everything. So the courtesy was given, and now he could naturally relax.

Yang Yushi then said, "Hey, Ruonan, haven't asked yet, why did you suddenly come over? You didn't even give me a call in advance."

Zhao Ruonan snorted and said, "I just wanted to come and see you, surprise you. Who knew you'd surprise me more by getting involved with him."

Yang Yushi said angrily, "What do you mean 'involved', making it sound so awful. Xiaodong and I are going to Africa tomorrow, I invited him here today to discuss the situation in advance."
