Shen Changze opened the door and entered the room. Seeing that Shan Ming was watching TV, he asked, “Baba, who was that person just now? What is he doing here?” For some reason, the child felt a little uneasy about the existence of that person. But he didn’t know that person.
Shan Ming said casually, “He is the captain of the special police team that day. He asked us to assist in the investigation. The one who attacked Orais and planted the bomb in the safe passage was indeed a political opponent of the candidate supported by the company. But they have no evidence for now.”
The child was still thinking about the strange way that the SWAT captain was looking at him. He then came back to his senses and went up to lift Shan Ming’s quilt, “Baba, let’s change your dressing.”
Shan Ming was watching the news and only said “Oh”.
Because he was injured on one thigh and his waist, for the sake of convenience, he has been naked below for the past few days. When the quilt is lifted, the bottom will be exposed.
Although he and Pell had had sex many times, he still didn’t want to lie down like a cripple and let a woman change his dressing. So he asked the child to change it for him.
According to the extent of the injury this time, it can’t be considered serious. But there are many wounds with different depths. Some of them were only small cuts in the skin while others were as deep as three to four centimetres of shrapnel into the flesh. There were dozens of wounds on the side of the body. Some of them were painful but some were only causing him to feel itchy. Although Shan Ming didn’t make a sound, only he knew the pain he had to endure these days.
The child carefully removed the gauze for him, looking at the bloodstains all over the slender thigh. He couldn’t help feeling depressed and his eyes were sore.
The wound was touched when the gauze was removed, Shan Ming snorted softly even though his eyes stared blankly at the large LCD screen. His forehead was already sweating.
Shen Changze touched Shan Ming’s skin with his small hand. It was as if he wanted to comfort him. But he also knew that doing so was futile. He gritted his teeth and said, “Father, let me blow your wound. If I blow it then it will not hurt anymore.” He blew on a particularly deep wound on his thigh.
The wound was healing and it was already itchy and painful. This light wind not only did not relieve the pain, it only made Shan Ming feel even more uncomfortable. He said impatiently: “Hurry up and change the dressing. What are you blowing for? You think you’re a child?” After he finished speaking, he realised that this was indeed a child. But he didn’t bother to change his statement.
Shen Changze opened the medical box and took out some medicinal powder. He began to carefully change the dressing and bandage Shan Ming’s wounds one by one. Finally, he wrapped his thighs and waist like a mummy.
After changing the dressing, Shan Ming seemed relieved. The air conditioner was a bit cold so he wiggled his toes and said, “Cover me with the quilt.”
After saying these, the child didn’t respond. Shan Ming turned his head to look at the child. The child was staring straight at Shan Ming’s dick. His eyes were looking somewhat curious and somewhat expectant, blinking his eyes nonstop.
Shan Ming frowned. He calculated that the child was already ten years old and it was time for him to mature. If it was an ordinary boy, he should have started to understand some messy things with his friends of the same age at this age.
It’s a pity that he has no friends of the same age for so many years. So he probably doesn’t understand many things.
Shan Ming really has no experience in raising children so he doesn’t know how to guide his son’s sexual enlightenment as a father. He can only hit the child’s head, “What are you looking at?”
Shen Changze’s face turned red. He looked up at him with panic in his eyes. He felt a little ashamed and he couldn’t explain why.
Shan Ming raised his eyebrows, “Have you matured yet?”
“Ah?”
“Should it have matured by now?” Shan Ming was about to grab the child’s pants after speaking.
The child quickly jumped away and looked at him helplessly.
“What are you hiding for? Let me see if you have already started to mature. I will ask Pell to give you a physiology class.”
The child shook his head and blushed even more.
“Don’t be hypocritical. You think Pell wants to see your little radish? You should receive relevant knowledge as you get older, lest you might pounce on your own mother when you see your mother in the future. It is easy to make mistakes like that.”
Shen Changze didn’t understand what Shan Ming was saying. But he subconsciously didn’t want Shan Ming to take off his pants.
Shan Ming didn’t expect the little boy to be so troublesome. When he was just beginning to mature back then, that bastard Ayer stimulated him with his big European dick every day. He always peed farther with him than anyone else and he didn’t even feel embarrassed.
He tried to get him two more times but the child just shrank back and refused to come. In the end, Shan yelled, “Come here!”
Shen Changze was afraid of him from the bottom of his heart and he was used to obeying him. So he had to come closer tremblingly.
Shan Ming pulled down his pants and looked at his limp dick. He couldn’t help laughing.
The child was a little embarrassed and wanted to wear his pants back on.
“Hey, don’t move.” Shan Ming took a closer look, “Okay. The shape is pretty good. Let Pell give you some useful food for this. Usually if you eat more of this kind of food, you can use it well when you grow up.”
Shen Changze pointed to Shan Ming’s, “Will mine be that big?”
Shan Ming glanced at his own. With a bit of pride on his face, he said, “That’s hard to say.”
The child stared blankly at the fair and tender skin on the inner side of Shan Ming’s thigh, feeling his face was about to burn.
Shan Ming recuperated for more than a week and was finally able to go out.
A few more days later, the mission was successfully completed. Shan Ming and Heibaiji, who were seriously injured to protect Orais on the day of signing the contract, did not go. But the whole process went smoothly and the weapons were sent off successfully.
The company simply transferred the balance to them.
Ayer transferred the money to each member’s Swiss bank account. He also opened an account for the child. The child couldn’t help jumping for joy when he saw one million dollars in his account.
Shan Ming recuperated for more than half a month. His injuries were basically healed and he started to be alive and kicking again. He weighed the card in his hand, patted Shen Changze on the head and said, “I don’t know how to spend this money. Let’s go out. I’ll take you out to play.”
The child glanced at him half-understanding what he meant, “I just ordered a modified M14 from the Internet.”
“Why are you so anxious? The task is already over and it’s time to relax and have fun.” Shan Ming and the others smiled tacitly.
In order to thank them, the company especially used helicopters to send those who wanted to ‘play’ to Vegas.
After arriving at the place, everyone has different hobbies. So they all split up.
Ayer plunged into the casino, Job went straight to the red-light district, and Shan Ming thought it was fun to take the child to explore the city. He was not in a hurry and the night was still long. So he took the child for a stroll.
Shen Changze seldom left home since he was a child. Before meeting Shan Ming, his whole world seemed to be at the villa built in the mountains and his parents came to visit him once in a while. After being adopted by Shan Ming, he was with weapons all year round. He has never been exposed to the world outside the base. Thus, the prosperity of New York and the luxury of Vegas were new to him.
“Baba, look at this, look at this. It looks like clouds are hanging on the roof.”
“Baba, that, that! What are they performing?”
“Baba, that man we passed by, why is he holding a spoon? Oops, the spoon is bent!”
Shen Changze excitedly grabbed Shan Ming’s hand and walked all the way as he spoke. He had completely lost the appearance of a little adult these days and unconsciously revealed the innocence and curiosity of a child.
After the child drank a bucket of Coke that was larger than his face, he became more energetic and wanted to continue wandering around.
But Shan Ming looked at the casinos and started to feel itchy. He didn’t want to go shopping anymore, “Let’s go shopping another day. I’ll take you to the casino to play.”
He approached a casino with his child. The security guard at the gate thought he was a tourist who was not familiar with the rules. He politely said to him, “Sir, children are not allowed in.”
Shan Ming took out his wallet from his pocket and flashed it in front of his eyes.
The security guard glanced at the wallet full of money and said to him, “Sir, please follow me to the VIP room.”
Shan Ming led the child swaggeringly and followed him in.

Shin Ming does shit that if Jim did he would have lost his mind. I can realistically understand why a mercenary would do shit like this and think it’s okay but I don’t like that the author makes it seem like it’s normal to do things like this to a child. They explain the physical and mental abuse Changze deals with as abuse, but the weird sexual abuse from Shin isn’t acknowledged.
This might be a long answer but this comment honestly made me want to talk about this;
First of all, what “sexual abuse” are we talking about exactly? Are we talking about the two scenes of Shan Ming messing with Shen Changze’s junk just to annoy him? annoy him like he does all the time? Because I think it’s completely fair to call whatever the fuck Shan Ming is doing with the kid abuse, bullying, neglect, etc. But to call that “sexual abuse”? right after you saw an actual abuser trying to harm the child…..? I think the author does know the difference…
We’ve been shown Shan Ming can be extremely immature sometimes, and, wheter we like it or not, immature boys like to mess with their junks. I think it’s completely normal and in line with his character so far. He was trained to kill people since 8 years old, and I suspect that unconsciously, he’s been low-key living his childhood through Shen Changze.
And, to be fair, most of the “suggestive” scenes we’ve been shown until now come from the kid himself and his curiosity, so I think it tells you a lot about how he must feel comfortable enough around Shan Ming to explore and be curious. Also, let’s not forget that after the pedo thing, Shan Ming told him to never let anyone touch him like that, and the time Shen Changze touched his dick, Shan Ming yelled at him… ? (srsly what sexual abuse bro 😭?)
But, what I really wanted to say is, I know it’s uncomfortable when you put sex and kids together (boy if it’s fucking uncomfortable…) but it’s stuff that actually happens sometimes, you know, we can’t hide on our moral high-ground and pretend that kids before and during “that age” aren’t fucking weird and that awkward moments don’t happen…. Like, I still remember how I would jokingly ask my mom if I could s*ck on her breasts to drink milk whenever she came out of the shower… Gosh.. (●´⌓`●)
Anyhow, considering that the kid is about to enter “that age” I think it’s safe to assume we’ll be seeing more awkward scenes from now on, So… It’s part of growing up I guess, let’s all chill and trust the author
Also, obligatory “english is not my first language” so sorry for the typos and if some wording is weird (。ノω\。)
Damn I totally agree with you..
This novel makes me uncomfortable more than any horror danmei i read, like none of those grown ass know how to handle a child🫤 honestly i won’t feel anything when that time comes for shen ming, he saw it coming
Lolololol! Someone finally says something like this!
