Jun Ye Can't Help But Tease His Wife

Chapter 276-280

C276

Xiao Jing stood between them, looking left and right. She was afraid that they were going to fight.

Xiao Yao’s expression did not change, “If you have the ability, say it again!”

The corner of Shen Tian’s mouth raised slightly, with a provocative smile on his face, “Our Shen family is a person who will do as we say. We said that we will marry Xiao Jing, even if you hide him in the sky, I will still drag him down with us.”

“What an arrogant tone. Other people in the empire might be afraid of your Shen family, but my Xiao family is not.”

“Father, Marshal, can we sit down and have a peaceful talk?”

Xiao Jing was in a dilemma.

“What talk?”

Who wants to talk to him? ’

Xiao Yao pointed in the direction of the entrance. “You can leave now. I want to have a good chat with my child.”

“What a coincidence, I also want to have a good chat with Xiao Jing.”

“You’re deliberately against me, aren’t you.”

Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes, full of malice. He didn’t even spare a second to look at his own tender cabbage before it was taken away by that son of his. His heart was on fire.

Shen Tian wrapped his arms around his chest. “I don’t have the leisure to go against you.”

“Then get out.”

Xiao Yao was considering whether he should get this old bastard out, but thinking about how his daughter was so persistent with her family, he couldn’t make things difficult for her.

Shen Tian took a sip of tea and looked at Xiao Jing, “I really have something to say to you.”

Xiao Jing nodded. “Please speak.”

“I want to talk to Xiao Jing alone.”

Shen Tian’s gaze landed on Xiao Yao, the meaning in his eyes clear to see.

Xiao Jingjing looked at Xiao Yao and said, “Father, can you wait for me outside for a moment?”

Even though Xiao Yao didn’t want his own child to talk to this old fellow alone, when he thought of the scenes played on TV, if he wasn’t nice to this old fellow, would he force his anger on him?

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yao still silently left the room, trying his best not to rile up this old bastard.

The room quieted down again. Xiao Jing straightened her body and stood properly in front of the leader.

Shen Yitian’s fingertips caressed the surface of the cup as he said, “I know very well why your father is here. It is also my intention to come here. Have you truly decided on this?”

Xiao Jing didn’t think about it and bluntly said, “I’ve thought it through very clearly.”

“What you will face next is much more severe than you imagined, and it might even leave behind a black spot that you will never be able to erase. Are you still willing?”

“Sir, as of today, there is no turning back.”

Shen Tian held his teacup tightly, “Yes, it seems like I haven’t turned back. Since Third Brother can bring you home, he doesn’t intend to turn back. That’s fine, I’m not a stubborn old feudal fiefdom. Although this matter is indeed disgraceful, it’s still something that the child likes. As a father, I can’t hurt the child no matter what.”

Xiao Jing didn’t say anything. She silently lowered her head. She was hesitating as to whether she should tell her superior the truth.

He was so beautiful, generous and virtuous, didn’t he know to open his eyes wide and take a look again?

“Don’t feel any guilt, our Shen family can still handle this.”

Shen Tian stood up and meaningfully patted Xiao Jing’s back. “You don’t look very good. You haven’t rested well recently, right?”

Xiao Jing shook her head. “I’ve rested quite well.”

Shen Dantian smacked his lips. “Sit down. Let me check your pulse and see if you need any rest. After all, the special forces have strict training and sometimes you won’t be able to handle it.”

Before Xiao Jing could refuse, her hand was forcibly snatched by her superior.

“Eh?”

One day the voice drawled.

Xiao Jing coughed lightly, “Is there something wrong?”

Shen Tian frowned. He changed his hand to recheck his pulse. Could it be that his recent technique had deteriorated?

But that’s not right. His technique had advanced by leaps and bounds recently. Out of ten people, nine of them had managed to get their meridians correct.

Could it be that Xiao Jing was the only one that he couldn’t match?

Xiao Jing wanted to retract her hand, but she was grabbed by him again to try again.

With a solemn expression, Shen Tianyi said, “Your bloodline —”

Seeing how serious her superior was, Xiao Jingjing couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Shen Tian shook his head repeatedly, “No, I don’t think so. I still need to learn more.”

“Sir, is there a problem?”

“There are indeed some problems. Why does it look like a pulse of joy to me?”

“Ridiculous, too absurd, how could I possibly give you a pulse?”

Xiao Jing almost reflexively withdrew her hand. An embarrassed yet polite smile appeared on her face as she said, “Sir, you really know how to joke around.”

Shen Tianyi laughed heartily as well, “Indeed, hahaha, this joke is a little too much.”

Xiao Jing embarrassedly lowered her head, wondering if she should change the topic to cover up this matter that made people not know whether to laugh or cry.

“I might not have enough cultivation experience, so I’ll study it when I get back.”

Shen Tiantian stood up, looking as if he was ready to leave.

Xiao Jing’s eyes were bright as she stared at the back of the person walking toward the door. Suddenly, the back of the person stopped.

Shen Tian turned around with a solemn expression, “Don’t tell that brat about what I’ve come here today.”

Xiao Jing quickly nodded, “Yes, sir.”

Outside the room, Xiao Yao had just finished a cigarette when he saw the figure walking out. With a displeased expression, he quickly walked up. “What did you say to her?”

“What can I say?”

“I’m just curious. It’s said that you, the marshal, have never liked the Xiao Clan’s Fourth Young Master before, but now you’ve come to the military camp to look for him. Your sudden kindness … I’m afraid you’re not that simple.”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t mean anything by that. I’m just wondering what you mean by acting like this.”

Xiao Yao clenched his fist, and the air suddenly sank a few degrees, “It is not for outsiders to interfere in our Xiao family’s matters.”

“Of course I have no right to ask about your Xiao family’s matters. It’s just that the crowd is unable to stop you from speaking. Not only will Xiao Jingjing suspect your intentions, even the entire world will suspect your intentions.”

“You’re purposely trying to sow dissension into our relationship. Shen Tian, don’t think that I don’t know the intentions behind your words. I, Xiao Yao, am not someone who can be easily fooled. Leave, don’t come again in the future.”

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Yao strode forward and opened the door, closing it behind him.

Shen Tian silently looked at the tightly shut door, his gaze heavy. He felt that this Xiao Yao really cared about this Xiao Jing, so why did he have to act cold and indifferent in the past twenty years, and even dislike her?

In the dorm, the two of them looked at each other for a moment. Xiao Jing put down her hands that were cleaning up the table. She opened her mouth and said, “Father still has something to say to me?”

Xiao Yao calmed down for a moment as he recalled Shen Tian’s words. It wasn’t that there was no reason for him to care about her and that the current love and affection he felt for her was just like what the aide-de-de-camp said. It was like he was trying to make her feel more worried for him.

Xiao Jing didn’t get a reply. She cautiously asked, “What happened to father?”

“Will you be afraid of me?”

Xiao Yao’s voice had an unspeakable vicissitudes to it, as if he had weighed the situation for a long time. In the end, he was forced to say it out loud.

Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment. After she recovered from her shock, she quickly stood up and said, “Father, I am already an adult. I can tell whether others are sincere or not.”

“Then do you think Father is serious or not?”

“You don’t have any other purpose for me, do you?”

“I have no value to you, so why are you trying to rope me in?”

Xiao Yao pursed her lips and smiled, “I was actually led away by this old bastard. As expected of a son, he will definitely have a father. Look at the father and son duo, they are the same.”

“Captain isn’t that kind of person.”

Xiao Jing argued.

Seeing that she was getting anxious, Xiao Yao hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes, Father was wrong about that.”

Xiao Jing shyly lowered her head, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going out for training later.”

Xiao Yao nodded, “Go on.”

As Xiao Jing walked out of the room, the rain gradually stopped. Droplets of water began to form on both sides of the eaves, and the air had also cooled down a few degrees. As soon as she left the room, she shivered.

Everyone was in the training area, sniping, and Qi Yue looked at everyone’s performance with a serious expression. After days of training, he no longer had to worry about the special forces’ sniping abilities.

Of course, there were exceptions.

Lian Qing had already been in the Special Forces for two months, and he had gained a lot from this. At least he did not act as helpless as he did when he first started.

But this sniping ability alone, no matter how one looked at it, the others were all flawless in their attacks. He had a gun aimed at the wrong direction, and at the same time, it was ridiculously accurate.

“Xiao Jing, go and help Lian Qing with his analysis.”

Qi Yue shook his head. He was prepared to give up on this unlucky child.

Lian Qing put on the magazine again, ready to try again.

Xiao Jing pressed the butt of his spear and said, “Let me demonstrate it to you once.”

Lian Qing stood quietly by the side.

Xiao Jing aimed at the target. She was able to finish shooting at this distance with her eyes closed. However, the instant her index finger was pressed down, her vision blurred and something seemed to have gone missing for a short period of time. Her body uncontrollably staggered backwards, and the bullet shot out of the muzzle.

“…”

Xiao Jing put down her spear and glanced sideways at the speechless Comrade Lian Qing. She coughed lightly. “It was just an accident just now. I will do it again.”

Lian Qing continued to stand quietly by the side.

Xiao Jing was a little confused. She tried to close her eyes, but when she opened them again, her eyes were clear again. She carefully calibrated the target.

“Bang!”

The bullet landed on the target perfectly.

Lian Qing stepped forward, “Yes, you did well. Let’s continue.”

The corner of Xiao Jing’s mouth rose up. She was like a new child who had been praised by her teacher on her first day in school. She raised her gun once again, but the bullets still flew out and she recovered her senses.

Lian Qing continued to hold that simple and honest smile. “Continue, why are you looking at me like that?”

Xiao Jing put down her spear and slapped him on the forehead. “Are you going to guide me or me?”

“Hurry up and continue.”

He estimated that his targeted sniping ability was the weakest in the entire team. This kind of ability couldn’t be mastered by just holding onto his Buddha’s feet, but he had to grasp the key points and even experience. After numerous attempts, he discovered that he had the best shooting ability.

Xiao Jing wrapped her arms around her chest and looked at Lian Qing, who was silently shooting a gun while smiling.

“Bang!”

The bullet landed on the target, a perfect shot.

Lian Qing put down the sniper rifle. One of the men carefully recalled his previous experience with the sniper, how he aimed and shot.

After pondering for about half a minute, Lian Qing picked up the gun again. It was the same perfect shot.

“It seems you already have confidence.”

Xiao Jing smilingly patted his shoulder. “You continue to study, I’m going to train as well.”

He nodded his head and began to think carefully about what had happened during the shooting.

“Bang!”

Xiao Jing put down the sniper rifle in her hand. She hadn’t felt very good these past two days. Other than the fact that her physical strength couldn’t keep up with her, her sniping ability was also a lot worse.

Was it because spring had arrived?

Nervously training, Xiao Jing dragged her tired body back to the dorm. As soon as she opened the door, a hand dragged her inside.

The next moment, she fell into a warm embrace.

Shen Chengfeng gently caressed her face, “Are you tired?”

Xiao Jing lazily leaned against his shoulder. She was so tired that she didn’t even want to say a word.

Shen Chengfeng picked her up and placed her beside the bed, “It’s raining today, are you going to train?”

Xiao Jing nodded, “Of course we have to go train. The army’s training can’t be divided into four seasons, cold and heat, or summer, rain, or winter or snow.”

Shen Chengfeng shook her cold hands, “Go take a shower, don’t get frozen.”

Xiao Jing, however, did not move at all. She lowered her head to his shoulder. “Wait a bit before you go. If you don’t want to move, your fingers will start to twitch.”

Shen Chengfeng massaged her fingers, “If you don’t want to move, you have to. I’ll help you put on some water.”

Seeing him about to leave, Xiao Jing instinctively grabbed his hand and forcefully pulled him back. She then used a tone to cover his slightly cold lips and said in a low voice, “Please wash my clothes.”

She just gave a light kiss, like a spring breeze blowing by. Shen Chengfeng was helpless against her, so he stood up and said, “I will help you put on the water first, find some clothes and come in.”

Xiao Jing listened to him. Was she really going to help him take a bath?

All of a sudden, her entire body seemed to have been injected with chicken blood as she hurriedly started rummaging through her clothes to find clean clothes.

Looking at her anxious expression, Shen Chengfeng shook his head and walked to the washroom.

Warm water hit the floor, and droplets of water formed a small stream that quietly flowed into the sewers.

Xiao Jing pushed the door open, and a dense mist instantly rushed towards her. She felt that the fawn at her heart was once again jumping up and down in a very lively manner. She couldn’t wait to step on her rationality and directly pounce on it, then carry the captain and gnaw on it.

Shen Chengfeng stood in front of her and hung the clothes she was holding tightly on a hanger as he said, “Go in.”

Xiao Jing walked in with a flushed face. She had just taken off her cotton clothes when she smelled a vaguely familiar smell in the air.

Shen Chengfeng leaned over. The moment she took off her clothes, he kissed her lips. That kiss was as thin as tea, causing pink bubbles to form in the enclosed space. It was filled with ambiguity.

His kiss gradually became more aggressive, bringing her into the flower sprinkle, hot water on their heads, he deepened the kiss.

Xiao Jing hugged his neck, her courage increasing, making him hug her even more tightly.

The two of them were already soaked through, so he let go of the deep kiss he had given her. His fingers lightly brushed against her slightly red and swollen lips.

Xiao Jing gasped for breath, the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but curl upwards. She tried to untie his clothes.

Shen Chengfeng held her hand down and said, “I was the one who bathed you, not together.”

Xiao Jing teased, “Since it’s already wet, let’s wash it together.”

Shen Chengfeng turned around and placed a towel on her head, “Wash, don’t think about other things.”

Xiao Jing resentfully stared at the calm man. Facing her throwing herself at him, why didn’t he have the slightest bit of impulse?

As time passed, the entire washroom was steaming hot.

Shen Chengfeng pulled out a small stool and gestured for her to sit down.

Xiao Jing obediently sat on the stool, allowing him to wash her hair.

“Is this comfortable?”

Shen Chengfeng controlled his strength very lightly. He did not wash others’ hair, and he did not even dare to use too much force.

Xiao Jingjing turned her body to the side and hugged his waist with both hands, like a begging pet, begging to hug, begging to touch. She coquettishly rubbed against his arms, rubbing his body of shampoo bubbles.

Shen Chengfeng continued to wash his head. He did not care whether his body was dirty or wet. He picked up the flowers to rinse off the foam on her head and then used a dry towel to wipe her head.

Xiao Jing was probably tired, so she fell asleep just like that.

Shen Chengfeng could not bear to wake her up. After a simple wash, he put on his bathrobe and carried her out.

Xiao Jing lay on the bed, rolled over, and fell asleep once again.

That night, Xiao Jing had a dream …

C277

On the day of the Special Forces Fresh Recruitment Examination, the Heavenly Awareness was extremely beautiful. After three days of rain and spring rain, it finally cleared up.

Xiao Jing stood on the field, watching her comrades being selected to enter the CY border, saluting them and watching them leave.

Lian Qing’s heart was somewhat heavy. He was fully armed, carrying a spear, carrying a backpack, and every step he took caused him to turn around and look at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing waved at him, and said with her lips, “You are no worse than any of us.”

Lian Qing took a deep breath and resolutely boarded the plane.

Inside the aircraft cabin, the atmosphere was heavy. Jiang Tang was resting with his eyes closed. He had to remain calm. This was probably his last chance.

Ye Chenliang, on the other hand, was relatively relaxed. Regardless of victory or defeat, he had already benefited greatly from these two months of cultivation.

“Alright, the remaining people are ten kilometers across.”

Mr. Pei served as a temporary instructor.

Xiao Jing carried her backpack and began to chase after our lost youth, facing the rising sun with the rest of her comrades.

“Comrade Xiao Jing, you’re lagging behind.”

Ji Lin quickly overtook Xiao Jing, and proudly made a provocative action towards him.

Xiao Jing did not chase after him. Instead, she maintained her pace and continued to run forward.

However, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Seeing that he did not move, Ji Lin frowned and hurriedly ran back, “What’s wrong with you?”

Xiao Jing calculated the date, today seems to be the day that the Shen family will go to the Xiao family to propose a marriage?

Involuntarily, her expression changed.

Ji Lin was getting more and more uncertain. She put down her backpack and waved it in front of Xiao Jing. “Colonel Xiao, don’t scare me. What’s wrong?”

Xiao Jing came back to her senses. There was an indescribable feeling of embarrassment on her face. She shook her head and continued on her way.

Seeing his shy expression, Ji Lin grabbed his backpack and chased after him, “You’re so surprised, I thought something happened.”

Xiao Jing did not reply him. She thought about the scene of the Xiao family at this moment. Would her father fight with Marshal Chen Tian again?

However, his father was not the kind of person who would easily get into a fight, so it was unlikely that he would start fighting in such a situation.

Xiao Jing was probably wrong. It was not that they hadn’t fought yet, but that they had fought very excitedly.

At the mahjong table, the two of them sat facing each other.

The two aide-de-camp comrades were both in a difficult position. If the two of them wanted to play mahjong, they shouldn’t have pulled them along to make a match.

Shen Tian played with a good hand, the corner of his mouth raised a little, “This life is so fulfilling, even the cards are so clean and beautiful.”

Xiao Yao was too lazy to bother with him and focused on his cards. He really couldn’t bear to see such a scene. It was obvious that he couldn’t make a big deal out of it.

“Comrade Little Xu, why are you still standing there with your cards out?”

Shen Tian cast a sidelong glance at his aide-de-camp, Comrade Xiao Xu.

Comrade Xiao Xu holds a card in his left hand and a card in his right. It is difficult to decide whether to play conservatively or gamely.

“Stop blanking out. Show your cards.”

“It’s quite a waste of time for you to stutter like this.”

In the end, Comrade Xu put down the cylinder in his hands very solemnly. He decided to go all out and fight.

“Bang!”

Just as Shen Tian was about to touch his cards, he heard Xiao Yao shout in front of him. He could only retract his hand stiffly.

Xiao Yao took out two bottles and placed five pieces into them.

“Bang!”

Xiao Yao’s aide-de-camp, Xiao Xia, shouted.

Xiao Xia gave him twenty thousand.

Xiao Yao touched his card. “No wonder this card is so good. It’s really a good card.”

With that, he did not forget to look at Shen Yi provocatively.

Shen Tian stared expressionlessly at the card he had placed in the game, clenching his hands tightly, “Show your cards.”

Xiao Yao put down a piece of thirty thousand.

“Bang!”

Xiao Xia shouted again.

“Did you two collude?”

Shen Tian’s gaze flitted across the two of them like a torch.

“Sir, I don’t dare.”

Comrade Xiao Xia quickly stood up.

“Sit down, what are you afraid of? With me supporting you, who would dare to speak nonsense against you?”

Xiao Yao continued to play cards.

Comrade Xiao Xu was trembling as he selected the cards. He glanced at his own leader, the intention in his eyes clear. He was about to ask him which cards he wanted.

“Do you want me to give you two time alone to look at each other’s cards?”

Xiao Yao asked.

Comrade Xiao Xu did not dare to tarry any longer and hurriedly put down a card.

Shen Tian looked at the three who did not move and said, “Let’s not touch them.”

With that, he touched a card and carefully played with it. He was sure that it was a cylinder.

“Play your cards, what are you stunned for?”

Xiao Yao said.

Due to his excitement, Shen Tiantian’s shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably.

Comrade Xiao Xu grabbed his commanding officer’s hand, “Sir, please calm down. Don’t be too agitated. Have you forgotten that you fainted from your excitement when you were playing cards last time?”

Shen Tian took a deep breath to calm himself down. He unhurriedly took out the four cards he had prepared to play in secret, then touched a card, “Hahaha.”

His bright smile echoed through the chess room.

Comrade Xu continued to calm him down, “Sir, you must remain calm.”

Shen Tian nodded, taking out his hidden four cards once again.

Xiao Yao’s eyes narrowed as he clenched his fists.

Comrade Xiao Xia consoled, “Sir, don’t be anxious, Marshal Shen Tianyi will easily fire the cannon shots.”

Xiao Yao released his fist, “Stop laughing, those who don’t know about it would think that your Imperial Marshal has gone insane.”

Shen Tian touched his cards again. He lowered his head and slowly opened his cards. “Hahaha, hahahaha.”

Comrade Xiao Xu stood up excitedly, “Sir, relax, relax.”

Shen Tian was just about to open his cards and shout, but before he could say anything, Xiao Yao stood up.

He said, “I’m not fighting anymore.”

“You can’t afford to lose the first round?”

Xiao Yao clenched his teeth and sat back down. “Alright, I’ll fight you. Show me your cards.”

Shen Tian continued to use his cards, but unfortunately, he did not have the chance to do so this time around. He looked at his cards and casually selected a card to play with.

“70,000?”

Sir, you called seventy thousand? "

Comrade Xiao Xia was ecstatic as he repeatedly asked.

Shen Tian frowned.

Xiao Yao hurriedly said, “Did you win?”

Comrade Xiao Xia hurriedly pushed his cards, “Sir, are you going all out?”

Xiao Yao stood up and hugged his aide-de-camp. “Have you won?”

“Did you really win?”

Shen Tian sat on a chair, silently looking at the two who were hugging each other with tears streaming down their faces. These two people must be idiots for their behavior.

“Knock, knock.”

Qin Ran brought a cup of tea into the chess room. As he heard the loud laughter, his heart began to beat faster and faster. Was the old master having a pleasant conversation?

Xiao Yao calmed himself and coughed softly, “Come in.”

Qin Ran put down the tea in front of him and said with a gentle smile, “Master, the eldest young master just called to say that he will be returning home for dinner. The second young master also said that he will be returning.”

“If the children are coming back, then come back. You’ve ordered a guest to come today, so you can’t neglect our noble Brother Shen.”

“Brother Xiao’s words are too serious. After all, we are family in the future. It doesn’t matter if we ignore him or not.”

Shen Tian took a sip of tea and looked at Qin Ran with great interest. He then said, “I heard Xiao Jing say that Madam’s chess skills are very good. Why don’t we have a spar some other day?”

Qin Ran was startled in his heart. Although he was a little overwhelmed by this favor, he didn’t act too rudely. She smiled and said, “Marshal, your words are too serious. How could I dare play a game with you?”

“Colonel Xiao said that his wife’s chess skills are above nine stages.”

Comrade Xiao Xu interjected.

Qin Ran’s face turned slightly red. “That was a few years ago. I didn’t continue to play chess for the past two years. I’m afraid that I’ve long since regressed.”

“It doesn’t matter. After a while, we’ll be a family. Win or lose isn’t that important.”

The smile on Shen Yi’s face deepened.

Xiao Yao leaned back in his chair and looked at the two aides. “Both of you can leave first.”

The two stood up straight, saluted, and then orderly left the room.

Xiao Yao touched his teacup and said with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “Speak, when have you decided on this?”

“Spring and March are really good days, but I think March is still a little cold, so I started April. April 20th is a lucky day, a day where everything is fine.”

“So fast?”

Xiao Yao waved his hand. “Slow down.”

“Then May sixteenth is a good day.”

Shen Yitian took a step back.

“May is a good month, but May is usually the month of military rehearsals. It’s not suitable for a wedding, so we can take it slowly.”

Shen Tian stared at the other party and met their gazes, “Brother Xiao, are you not planning on discussing the wedding with us?”

May and June are busy days in the military, and there are many missions at home and abroad, so they are not suitable. There will be a joint exercise of the Special Forces in August, so it’s not suitable for that either. September is going to be the month of the assessment, and you also know that the entire military will be too busy to worry about other matters.

“…”

Xiao Yao continued, “Since the children are still young, there’s no rush.”

Shen Tianyi stood up and stared down at the other party, “That’s fine, you don’t have to close it right? It’s fine if you don’t want to close it.”

“Master, Marshal, don’t be angry. This matter concerns the children. How about we ask them for their opinion?”

Qin Ran stood between the two of them and looked at each other. He was afraid that one of them would become stubborn and the wedding would be annulled on the spot.

Shen One calmed down and returned to her seat. “Although I also think that this wedding is outrageous, the child said that no matter what, Xiao Jing will be given a proper wedding. As his father, I do not have the heart to make things difficult for the child.”

“You don’t really like my Xiao Jing. If she marries her like this, she’ll probably suffer.”

Xiao Yao announced.

“It’s not that I don’t like this child, it’s just Xiao Jing. She’s smart, cute, and understanding, but Brother Xiao, these two children, cough cough, how can I say that? A natural love is beautiful, even if it isn’t blessed — —”

“How come I don’t get my blessings?”

Xiao Yao interrupted him.

Shen Tian looked at Qin Ran. He felt that it was best for him to not say those words aloud so as to avoid embarrassment when the time came.

Qin Ran tugged at the hem of his shirt. Could it be that the marshal really didn’t like his own child?

“Forget it, I won’t say any more superfluous words. I’ll choose April.”

Shen Tian stood up, as if he would not allow the other party to change his mind.

Xiao Yao became silent. He looked at the tea on the table with a serious expression. With a steamy atmosphere, he closed his eyes and said, “Shen Tian, will you treat my Xiao Jing well?”

"Do I look like the kind of person who would treat his own family badly?

“Xiao Yao, don’t use your past to look at everyone. I won’t leave my wife and son behind in a private house to raise them as if they were illegitimate children.”

“Pah!”

Xiao Yao slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

Qin Ran’s situation became more and more awkward.

Xiao Yao panted heavily, clearly enraged. “Yes, my past is incorrect, so I won’t allow anyone to use my wrongs on my child right now.”

“Looks like we won’t be able to talk about this matter today. I’ll come back another day.”

With that, Shen Tianyi prepared to leave.

Xiao Yao didn’t care whether he was going to stay or not. With a cold expression, he said, “If you’re not prepared to accept my Xiao Jing, then there’s no need to come.”

“Brother Xiao, I won’t joke about my child’s marriage, and I won’t bet on the happiness of my child. Regardless of whether they are a good match or a bad fate in the eyes of outsiders, I will still respect my child’s choice. Thus, I specifically chose countless good days to be decided by your Xiao family.”

“Yes, I will naturally not use my child’s life to gamble on you and me being so angry, but Brother Shen, I hope that after I enter your Shen family, I will be able to enjoy the limelight instead of hiding myself, and not even being able to see others.”

“Our Shen family holds a wedding and is naturally the focus of the entire nation. Don’t worry about that. We definitely won’t mistreat your family’s Xiao Jing.”

“But we’re soldiers, after all, and too much exposure doesn’t affect the children.”

“I have considered this point before. It is correct to reduce the exposure rate. As for the details, we will discuss them in the future. Now, we will set the date.”

“Now you’re willing to talk to me in detail?”

Xiao Yao sat back in his chair and picked up his cup of cold tea. With a cold smile, he said, “To be honest, I really don’t want to talk to you.”

“Do you think I want to talk to you again?”

“April is a good day, but I want to give the children a little time to think about it.”

Xiao Yao pinched the bridge of his nose. “After all, I’m not satisfied with this matter.”

“Is your Xiao family not satisfied with our Shen family, or not satisfied with my son?”

Shen Yitian asked.

Xiao Yao shot him a glance. Was there a need for him to say these words clearly?

“Speaking of which, I actually quite like this child, Xiao Jing, and also got along with the madame of my family. You don’t have to worry about that. After entering our Shen family, we will treat him well.”

“I will remember your words today. If your Shen family bullies her, our Xiao family will not let this go.”

Xiao Yao opened the folder on the table and saw that there were a few happy days written within.

“Knock, knock.”

The sound of the door rang out.

When Qin Ran saw this person, he subconsciously took two steps back.

Xiao Ying put down his cap. He came in too hurry, but he still had a lingering chilliness on him. He stood up straight and saluted.

Shen Tian smiled, “I heard that Xiao Qing will be promoted in two months?”

“Yes, sir.”

Xiao Ying said.

“Sit down first.”

Xiao Yao pointed to a spot to the side.

Xiao Ying placed the military hat on the table, his movements meticulous. He said, “Is the day set?”

“Twenty of April.”

Shen Tianyi said bluntly.

Xiao Yao glanced at him, “Do I agree to this day?”

“Time’s too tight.”

Xiao Ying shook her head, “Did you tell Little Four?”

“We’ll discuss it with them when we’ve made our decision.”

Xiao Yao said.

Seeing how worried the father and son duo were, Chen Yu was a little confused. Since when was Xiao Jing so doted upon in the Xiao family?

From the looks of the father and son, they clearly didn’t want Xiao Jing to marry their own son. However, thinking carefully, after all, they were still their sons.

“I will owe you this meal today. When I come back with my wife in two days, we will discuss the details of the wedding.”

Shen Tiantian stood up, put on his coat, and looked at the game. “Next time, play another round. No one is allowed to cheat.”

Xiao Yao snorted. “You lost just now.”

Shen Tian did not say anything more and left the room.

In the quiet room, the father and son duo fell silent at the same time.

Xiao Yao looked at Qin Ran who was not far behind him and said, “Go tell the kitchen to eat later.”

“Yes, master.”

Qin Ran closed the door.

Xiao Ying’s hands clenched into a fist as he asked, “Father, have you really considered this?”

“From the looks of it, the Shen family is preparing to propose a marriage.”

“Is there any room for this?”

Xiao Yao retorted, “Xiao Si and Shen Chengfeng are already married. If they are married, it doesn’t matter whether the wedding will take place or not.”

Xiao Qing wanted to say something, but stopped himself.

“On the other hand, if we don’t have a wedding, won’t we be letting Shen Chengfeng, that brat, off the hook?”

“It wasn’t easy for me to raise a girl, and she just silently ran away like that.”

Xiao Yao sighed, “Call Little Four out as well in two days. She should be participating in this as well.”

Xiao Qing let go of his fist. “Yes, father.”

Qin Ran stood in front of the kitchen, staring at the chefs who were busy preparing lunch. For a moment, he was lost in thought.

Did her little cyan get married just like that?

With what status?

Girls or boys?

C278

Qin Ran felt that he had walked into a dead end. His daughter was still a boy, so how could she marry into the Shen family as a girl?

What would she face next?

Other than gossip, there were also slander. How could such a pitiful child face doubts and injuries over and over again?

“What are you thinking about?”

Xiao Yao’s voice came from afar.

Qin Ran suddenly came back to her senses. She turned around, unable to relax her tightly knitted brows. She hurriedly lowered her head.

Xiao Yao stepped forward and followed her gaze towards the kitchen. “What are you worried about?”

Qin Ran felt as if something was stuck in his throat. How could she ask such a question?

“Worried about Little Jing?”

Qin Ran became more and more ashamed.

He had already gotten used to the tone of the leader. He wanted to be gentler, but the moment he said it, there was no need to worry. Xiao Yao was used to the tone of the leader, he wanted to be gentler, but the moment he said it, there was no need to worry.

“Old master, is this really possible?”

“What if, what I mean is, what if, after all, Little Jing lied to the military. Wouldn’t she suffer from —”

“If the sky doesn’t collapse, how can we protect our country if our Xiao family can’t even bear such a small mistake?”

“You don’t have to worry about these things. If you have time, make a set of wedding clothes for your child. Isn’t this the custom in your hometown?”

Qin Ran’s cheeks flushed red. “Yes, Master.”

Outside the window, the breeze was blowing, and the sun was breaking through the clouds.

There seemed to be the rejuvenation of all living things in the air, the fragrance of flowers and birds, the blooming of spring flowers …

A car was on the blacktop, a country road with few traffic.

Xiao Jing sat in the front passenger seat. This wasn’t the first time she had secretly looked at her captain, but she couldn’t help but want to take a few more glances.

Shen Chengfeng leaned on the steering wheel with one hand and looked to his side, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Captain, where are you taking me?”

Xiao Jing couldn’t help but reveal the look of expectation in her eyes. Could it be that the captain is planning to take her on a date again?

Shen Chengfeng looked at the rearview mirror and saw that there seemed to be a car following behind him.

Seeing that the captain didn’t reply, Xiao Jing asked again, “Captain, where are we going?”

“Take you on a mission.”

Shen Chengfeng said.

Xiao Jing’s heart was filled with joy. Was the captain going to carry out another appointment?

Where are we going this time?

A amusement park, or a park, or a suburban garden.

“Did you notice that there was a car following?”

Shen Chengfeng’s words made sense.

Only then did Xiao Jing look in the rearview mirror. There was indeed a car following her. It was a seemingly ordinary Toyota Land Cruiser. She did not understand and asked, “Is there something wrong with it?”

“This car is at least twenty kilometers behind us.”

Shen Chengfeng purposely increased his speed, and sure enough, the car also sped up.

Xiao Jing couldn’t help but be on high alert. She moved the back seat of the car back and took out a gun from under the seat. After assembling the gun, she loaded it with bullets and asked, “Do you need to shoot?”

Shen Chengfeng could not help but ask, “Do you think we can shoot?”

Xiao Jing thought about it for a moment, then shook her head. “In the absence of conclusive evidence, we cannot rashly attack the commoners.”

Shen Chengfeng slowed down and finally stopped by the side.

The Toyota sped past them and stopped five or six meters ahead of them.

A man in the passenger seat spat out a cigarette in his mouth and waved his machete, which should be around 60 to 70 centimeters long.

The corner of Xiao Jing’s mouth twitched. “Captain, did you really bring me out on a mission?”

“I heard that there are always car robbers around here. I smoothly brought you over to take a look. I didn’t expect to meet them.”

Xiao Jing finally understood why her captain chose a BMW. Hmm, it seemed to be of the seventh series, so it should look expensive.

The man proudly brandished the large blade in his hand, with the intention of spreading out his hand.

Shen Chengfeng did not move and continued to talk to Xiao Jing, “Now we have evidence to shoot.”

Xiao Jing saw him point at the logbook on the mirror. She smiled and slowly loaded it.

The man didn’t mind. He walked to the window and knocked on it. He spoke in a local language, “Do you want me to cut your carriage a few times, or do you want to pay the money obediently?”

“This car is sprayed with paint. It’s not cheap, right?”

“Leader, should we give them a chance to show off their skills?”

Xiao Jing joked.

Shen Chengfeng knocked on the steering wheel with one hand and said seriously, “I borrowed this car from the higher-ups. We need compensation for any damage done.”

Xiao Jing was surprised. “Not yours?”

“You like this car?”

Xiao Jing shook her head. In the future, the captain would still support her. Right now, there was too much pressure on her to raise a person. She felt that she shouldn’t put too much pressure on him.

Shen Chengfeng smiled and said, “Let’s start.”

Xiao Jing opened the car door and faced the man who was still showing off the weapon in his hand.

When the man’s accomplices saw that they dared to get out of the car, a group of people quickly followed. Each of them held a weapon in their hands, obviously planning on ganging up on them.

Xiao Jingjing also impolitely picked up her own assembling spear, the corners of her mouth raised up in ridicule.

When the other party saw this, they were stunned for a moment, then all of them reacted and no longer dared to casually wave their blades.

Shen Chengfeng opened the car door and kicked the man who threatened them to the ground.

The man grimaced in pain. “What are you two?”

Shen Chengfeng crouched down and brushed away the tattoo on the man’s neck, “This dragon must turn into a bug now.”

Xiao Jing approached the other three, one step at a time, “Put the sabre down.”

The three of them slowly prepared to put down their machetes, but one of them deliberately tried to trick them. The moment the machetes were put down, he quickly grabbed them and threw them towards Xiao Jing without caring about the consequences.

Xiao Jing dodged to the side, avoiding this random revenge. She simply gave up on her weapon, strode forward, and directly kicked away the man who was one meter above her head. Her knee heavily hit the man’s head, and with a bang, the man fell straight to the ground.

When the other two saw this, they panicked and grabbed their machetes in preparation to retaliate.

Xiao Jing turned around and kicked one of them away. She then grabbed the other’s arm and twisted it. The other party was in pain and loosened his grip.

Shen Chengfeng took three steps forward and a cold fist landed on the face of the last man. The moment the fist landed on his face, the man’s pupils contracted, as if the bones in his face were misaligned. Before he could even feel the pain, his eyes closed and he fainted.

“Captain, what should we do now?”

Xiao Jing was carrying a spear on her shoulder. She had one hand on her waist, and the corner of her mouth held a trace of a victorious smile.

Shen Chengfeng’s eyes fell on the last remaining man beside the Toyota.

The man was about to sneak away, but they noticed him so quickly, and knowing his intentions were exposed, he stumbled into the car.

Xiao Jing raised her gun, and with a flick of her index finger, the bullet pierced through the car’s tires. After just two meters, the car lost its balance and crashed into a road sign.

Shen Chengfeng stepped forward and lightly closed the door.

The man lowered the window in panic, not daring to move.

“Call the police.”

Shen Chengfeng explained the purpose of his visit.

The man trembled as he took out his phone. His fingers were not very fast, so he pressed the number twice before he could type out the three simple numbers.

Shen Chengfeng took care of the last man and got back into the car.

After Xiao Jing finished disassembling her weapon, she put it back under her seat. The moment she raised her head, a head landed in her line of sight.

Shen Chengfeng gently kissed her forehead, “Not bad.”

Xiao Jing realized that the captain only intended to kiss him. She instinctively grabbed his head with both hands, preventing him from pulling away.

Shen Chengfeng knew what she was up to so he gently patted her head and motioned for her to take a look in front of the car.

Xiao Jing originally did not mind and looked out the window, only saw a pair of eyes looking at them without any reluctance. Her pitiful appearance was like a abandoned pet, hoping that her master would turn around and look at his innocent and eager expression.

Shen Chengfeng sat back in the driver’s seat and put on his seat belt, “Alright, let’s go.”

Xiao Jing looked at him as he continued to head in the direction of the city. She asked, “Captain, where are we going?”

“Now that the business is done, of course I have to take care of my personal affairs.”

The car sped along until it stopped in front of a large shopping mall.

The spring sunshine was like wine, somewhat intoxicating, and there seemed to be a tang of the wine in the air, bringing out its aftertaste.

The entire square was filled with people, and Xiao Jing followed her own captain.

Shen Chengfeng held her hand tightly and would occasionally turn around to confirm if he had misled her.

“Would you like something to drink?”

Shen Chengfeng looked towards a teahouse about ten meters away from them.

Xiao Jing nodded, “It’s whatever captain says.”

Shen Chengfeng pointed to the chair beside him and said, “Wait for me there. I will be back very soon.”

Xiao Jing obediently sat on the chair. She picked up her clothes, looked at the small ball rolling at her feet, and squatted down to pick it up.

A two year old little girl ran over unsteadily with a cute and innocent smile on her face. She said, “Uncle, can you return the ball to me?”

Xiao Jing handed it over and looked at the departing child. She leaned back in her chair and felt that something was wrong. Something was wrong.

She shook her head as if nothing was wrong.

Shen Chengfeng returned very quickly and bought two cups of honey tea, “It’s hot. Your date for this month has been delayed, so stop drinking cold drinks.”

Xiao Jing took a sip of the sweet and sour honey tea. She looked at the people in the square, and asked, “Captain, why did you bring me here?”

“I just wanted to take you out for a walk.”

Shen Chengfeng gently stroked her face, “Do you want to take a walk?”

“There’s nothing to visit. We’re not going. With our status, we shouldn’t go to a place with many people.”

Xiao Jing leaned on his shoulder, her eyes lingering on the little child who was running and jumping around. She suddenly woke up.

Shen Chengfeng did not understand why she was so agitated. He frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Jing’s gaze was somewhat erratic. She felt that her idea was probably wrong. Hmm, it should be wrong. However, once she had such a thought in her heart, she would have countless reasons to support this thought.

“Dong, dong, dong.”

She could almost hear her heart beating in her chest.

Last month Auntie put off five days, probably because she was drugged, and a week later this month, but she didn’t take the medicine, did she?

Shen Chengfeng held her hand tightly and noticed that she was trembling. He asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Jing shook her head, solemnly shaking it. “It’s fine, the captain is fine.”

Shen Chengfeng stared at her face and said seriously, “You know you won’t lie. Tell me, what exactly happened?”

Xiao Jing lowered her eyes, her two hands tightly holding this cup of honey tea. Even in the face of Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, she was not as uncertain as she was now. What should she do?

Should he say it or shouldn’t he? No, what should she say?

The captain had clearly bought him medicine, but if he told him that he had secretly vomited out, would he be angry?

What if it wasn’t?

Wasn’t this the same as lifting a rock to smash one’s own foot?

No, she couldn’t say it, absolutely not.

Shen Chengfeng’s face was solemn as he grabbed her shoulders. From her stuttering manner, he could tell that the situation was much more serious than he had imagined.

He said, “Raise your head and tell me, what exactly happened to you?”

What’s wrong?

“Is there something wrong?”

Xiao Jing shook her head and really did her best to shake her head. She needed to divert attention so that the captain could shift his focus away from her body.

Shen Chengfeng was enlightened, “It’s that one?”

Xiao Jing was stunned. For the first time, she didn’t understand which one he was talking about.

After some thought, he realized what he meant. His cheeks flushed uncontrollably.

Shen Chengfeng stood up and took off his jacket, “Wait for me here. No, come with me. Wait for me in the washroom first.”

Xiao Jing followed closely behind Shen Chengfeng. When she saw him enter the supermarket, she hurriedly ran to the signboard and studied the entire department store.

Shen Chengfeng casually bought two bags of women’s products and stood in front of the washroom. Didn’t he tell this kid to wait for him?

The whole mall was filled with people, and he seemed to have forgotten about losing his little one.

Xiao Jing paced back and forth in the pharmacy. Her eyes were sharp as she observed the goods on the shelves. What should she buy to inspect?

“Is there anything this gentleman can help you with?”

Seeing him walk back and forth countless times, the staff member took the initiative to ask him.

Xiao Jing found it difficult to open her mouth. She coughed lightly and deliberately raised her voice, whispering, “Is there anything that can be checked? Cough, is there a child in your womb?”

The staff member nodded, “Of course, please follow me.”

Xiao Jing deliberately blocked her head. Was it a little strange that a man would come to the pharmacy to buy this thing?

The staff member picked up a box of early pregnancy test papers. “Just use this. How many boxes do you want?”

Xiao Jing quickly nodded as she looked at the description. “One box is enough.”

“Hello, a total of 12 RMB.”

Xiao Jing rolled over on her back. She was finished. She didn’t seem to have a single cent left.

“No cash?”

the staff member asked again.

Xiao Jing rummaged in her pocket. Sure enough, she didn’t have a single cent.

“We can pay by mobile phone here.”

The staff member pointed to a nearby counter.

Xiao Jing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She touched the pocket of her captain’s coat and found something that looked like paper money. Instinctively, she pulled it out and widened her eyes, revealing a stack of money.

The staff member covered his mouth and laughed, “There’s no need for that much.”

Xiao Jing took out a piece of paper and handed it to him, “Sorry for troubling you.”

Shen Chengfeng walked past the pharmacy and looked around helplessly. Why did this kid disappear in the blink of an eye?

“Xiao Jing.”

He no longer cared about his identity and just stood in the sea of people and shouted.

Many people around turned to look at him when they heard the voice.

Shen Chengfeng gasped for breath and shouted again, “Xiao Jing.”

“Captain, I’m here.”

Xiao Jing stood behind the crowd and waved her hand. Her face revealed a very natural and clear smile.

The crowd gradually dispersed and her figure slowly appeared in front of their eyes. Shen Chengfeng ran forward in quick steps and hugged the lost child tightly.

Xiao Jing leaned against his chest and said with self-reproach, “I’ll leave for a bit. When I return, you will already be gone.”

Shen Chengfeng held her face. Previously, when faced with a hail of bullets, his expression did not change. But now, he was in a panic and did not know what to do.

Xiao Jing noticed that there were many people discussing among themselves. She grabbed Shen Chengfeng’s hand and walked to the corner.

Shen Chengfeng took a deep breath and recovered some of his nervousness. He handed over the black bag in his hand and said, “Let’s go.”

Xiao Jing carried the bag. She entered the washroom and then came back. Taking advantage of no one’s attention, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed the leader on the lips.

“Wait a minute, this is a shopping mall. I’ll go in and see if there’s anyone else.”

Shen Chengfeng went into the washroom first. He was glad that this was the corner and not many people were paying attention to him.

Xiao Jing walked into the cubicle and sat on the toilet. She paid attention to the instructions and opened the box. For some reason, her hands were shaking violently.

Waiting five seconds. Waiting five seconds. Waiting five seconds ….

C279

“Knock, knock.”

Knock! Knock! Knock!

When Xiao Jing heard the knocks on the door, she was so nervous that she almost threw the things in her hands into the trash can and destroyed the corpse.

Shen Chengfeng looked at the time and was sure that she had been in there for five minutes. He could not help but knock on the door, “Are you alright?”

Xiao Jing took a deep breath to calm her agitated heart. She said, “It’ll be ready soon.”

Shen Chengfeng looked towards the entrance of the washroom. He had locked the door, but there was someone rashly pounding on the door. From the looks of it, he had identified the person inside.

“Bastard, open the door! The people inside, open the door!”

The man’s hoarse voice came from outside.

Shen Chengfeng, on the other hand, continued to wait outside the cubicle as if he did not hear anything.

“Kacha!” The minute the door was opened, Xiao Jing handed the clothes back to Shen Chengfeng and lowered her head embarrassedly, “Captain, it’s done.”

Shen Chengfeng nodded and continued to put on his clothes, “Don’t catch a cold.”

“Open the door, do you hear me, what is it?”

The roar of the man pounding on the door had already been drowned out.

Xiao Jing frowned, “Captain, when we open the door and go out, will we be hit?”

Shen Chengfeng did not mind and said, “It’s fine. It seems like today’s situation is no longer suitable for me to continue strolling around. I will send you back first.”

“Bang, bang, bang.”

The man had already lost his rationality. After kicking the door twice, he hurriedly took two steps back. From the looks of it, he was preparing to crash into the door.

At this moment, Shen Chengfeng unlocked the door.

The man obviously didn’t expect the other party to open the door at this time. His body lost its balance and fell to the ground. Aiya, he cried out twice.

Shen Chengfeng looked down at the flushed face of the man and silently prepared to bring Xiao Jing away.

“Stop right there.”

The man stood up angrily, “Who gave you permission to lock the door?”

Shen Chengfeng ignored his glare and walked out of the washroom.

The man chased after him and yelled, “I’m asking you a question. Are you deaf or dumb?”

Shen Chengfeng looked down and landed on the man’s leg, “It’s missing.”

The man lowered his head in surprise. As expected, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and peed his pants. “Just you wait. I’ll teach you a lesson when I come out.”

Xiao Jing quickly grabbed her captain’s hand and walked towards the elevator without looking back.

Shen Chengfeng smiled slightly when he saw her serious expression when she was escaping, “Don’t worry, he can’t beat me.”

Xiao Jing stood on the escalator. “After all, we are in the wrong. It would be better to avoid trouble.”

Shen Chengfeng gently stroked her small head, “Madam is right.”

Xiao Jing blushed, “Captain, there will be a lot of people watching.”

“You and I have proof.”

“But I’m wearing men’s clothes.”

Xiao Jing put her hands in her pockets, her fingers tightly holding onto the pencil-sized object.

Shen Chengfeng nodded, “Yes, I will do whatever Madam says.”

“Captain, are we going back now?”

As Xiao Jing walked out of the building, the sun shined warmly around her, and the air seemed to smell of saccharin.

Shen Chengfeng followed her gaze and said, “You want to eat it?”

Xiao Jing nodded, then hurriedly shook her head. Her current identity was a seven foot man, a normal man, how could she have slipped out of the street with cotton candy in hand?

Shen Chengfeng strode forward and returned with a multicolored cotton candy.

Xiao Jing pursed her lips and smiled.

Shen Chengfeng held her hand as they walked towards the parking lot.

Within the enclosed space, the smell of saccharin became stronger and stronger. Xiao Jing took a bite of cotton candy, as if she had eaten a soft cloud at that moment. Her mouth instantly filled with a sweet taste.

Shen Chengfeng buckled his seat belt, turned his car around and slowly drove onto the main road.

In the car, there was only a slightly hypnotized piano piece.

Xiao Jing sat on the car with her arms wrapped around her legs. She looked in Shen Chengfeng’s direction a few times, but she did not say anything.

Shen Chengfeng stepped on the brakes and stopped in front of the traffic light. He noticed her peeping and said, “Do you want to tell me something?”

Xiao Jing lowered her head to her knees and did not reply.

“What’s wrong?”

Shen Chengfeng gently touched the back of her head.

Xiao Jing shook her head. “It’s fine, Captain. I probably have a little girl’s worries now.”

“Looks like I can’t let me know about this.”

The red light turned into green light. Shen Chengfeng stepped on the gas pedal and the car rushed out of the intersection.

Xiao Jinglooked at the scenery flashing past her car, she murmured in a low voice, using a very soft voice, “Captain, since we’re both prepared to open it, can I, can I get pregnant in the future?”

Shen Chengfeng subconsciously stepped on the brakes and the car that was following closely behind nearly stopped.

“Bam, bam, bam.”

The driver sounded the horn angrily.

Shen Chengfeng frowned and quickly recovered. He stepped on the gas pedal and the car started moving again. He said, “Let’s not think about these things for now.”

“Didn’t you agree?”

Xiao Jing asked again.

“Later on, when I think about it, it’s not the right time yet. After all, you need more energy on the female army.”

“I can work for the family.”

Xiao Jing solemnly guaranteed.

Shen Chengfeng held onto the steering wheel tightly with both hands and shook his head cautiously, “Xiao Jing, the military is not as easy as you think. The initial stage requires ten to a hundred times our energy. Let’s delay the birth of a child.”

Xiao Jing bit her lower lip and asked in a muffled voice, “Captain, I have time to wait. What about you?”

Shen Chengfeng smiled and said, “I have a lot of time too.”

Xiao Jing turned around and looked out the window, “Captain, no matter what, I won’t give up.”

Shen Chengfeng did not say anything else. With this guy’s perseverance, he was afraid that he would be trying to crawl into his bed in the next few days.

In the army camp, the resounding military songs were exciting.

Xiao Jing got down from the passenger seat. She looked at the leader who did not get off the car. Instinctively, she squatted down and asked, “Captain still wants to go to the military?”

“Go and get the car back.”

Shen Chengfeng opened the car door, walked around and stood in front of her. He then helped her with her clothes, “Go take a shower and then sleep. If you have anything to say, wait till I get back.”

Xiao Jing took two steps back. Seeing the car drive off once again, she couldn’t wait to run back to the dormitory building.

The dorm building was quiet, with many people walking by, and the corridor was long and silent.

Xiao Jing didn’t know whether or not she was guilty of being a thief. Even going back to her own room was somewhat sneaky. She cautiously opened the door to her own room, then rushed in and quickly closed the door.

She patted her beating heart and carefully took out the paper that she had yet to read the results of.

“Knock, knock.”

The knock came from behind her.

Xiao Jing reflexively hid the items in her pocket. Her voice was filled with obvious panic as she asked, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s me.”

The old man’s kind laughter came from outside the door.

Xiao Jing didn’t hesitate and directly opened the door.

Old Lady Shen entered the dormitory with a beaming smile. “I just saw you back and didn’t have the time to call you back. Why did you enter the door?”

It seems that something very important has happened to you? "

Xiao Jing subconsciously shook her head. “I’m fine, I’m really fine.”

Old Madam Shen narrowed her eyes, her gaze landing on Xiao Jing’s thin body. She was like a ferocious beast spying on its prey in the middle of the night. When she saw this, she couldn’t help but feel guilty.

Xiao Jing lowered her head, seemingly preparing to avoid the old madame’s bright eyes. She spoke from the left and right, “Is there something you need me for?”

Old Madam Shen sat on the chair and continued to stare at the other party. The air suddenly turned silent, causing her to panic even more.

Xiao Jing turned around, her hands trembling slightly. She grabbed the teacup on the table, picked up the teapot, and prepared to pour water. Perhaps due to her emotional state of mind, the teapot was clearly aimed at the opening of the cup, but it still spilled all over the table.

“Don’t fall, it’s all spilled out.”

Old Lady Shen tapped the table with the tip of her fingers. “You’re a child who doesn’t know how to lie. Speak, what exactly happened to you that made you unable to speak properly?”

Xiao Jing put down the kettle and didn’t reply.

“Do you think that my wife’s words are unworthy of your confessions?”

“No, Grandma, it’s really nothing.”

Xiao Jing handed the cup to him. “I really don’t have anything to do.”

Old Madam Shen heaved a long sigh. “I really think that this old woman is too nosy. Forget it, if you don’t want to tell me about your youth, forget it.”

Xiao Jing blamed herself as she lowered her eyes without saying a word.

“If you don’t want to say it, then forget it. I’ve only come to see you. I’m going back in two days.”

Hearing this, Xiao Jing looked up in panic. “Where are you planning to go?”

“Where else?”

“My mountains and forests.”

Old Madam Shen smiled faintly. “I’ve been out for a long time. I’ve seen the people I want to see, and I’ve finished what I wanted to say.”

“Are you not going to attend our wedding?”

Old Madam Shen took a sip of water. “Let’s wait for the right moment. If possible, come back if you wish to participate.”

The room was quiet again.

Old Lady Shen looked at her lowered head and said, “I’ve told you countless times, don’t lower your head. You’re not inferior to anyone, understand?”

Xiao Jing raised her head, her eyes turning red.

Old Lady Shen stood up, “What’s wrong with this child?”

“You are a soldier, how can you cry so easily?”

Xiao Jing curled her lips, “Are you really going to leave?”

“I’m afraid the entire capital wants to send this old lady away.”

“But I don’t want you to go.”

Old Madam Shen held her hands and patted her lightly, “This child’s personality is gentle, humble and courteous, unlike your future mother-in-law who only wishes for the world to be number one. I am also a strong woman, and we are destined to be enemies. It’s unavoidable for you to be inhumane under the same roof.”

“How could it be?”

“General Yan Jun is a good person.”

“That’s because you didn’t get along with her too much, after all, I’ve been with her for decades. I understand her character, although there are times when her words are different, but most of the time she is domineering. After all, after staying in the military camp for so long, it’s hard to avoid being rough.”

“Then you don’t have to leave, I’m in the barracks anyway, there won’t be any awkward places.”

Xiao Jing’s eyes flashed with two big eyeballs, she was sincerely looking forward to it.

“That’s why I like you. In such a big capital, I’m afraid only you want me to stay.”

“Others do not understand you, so they fear you.”

Old Lady Shen sat back in her chair, “Sit down and have a good talk with me.”

Xiao Jing sat upright on a stool and listened to the madame’s instructions.

“I heard that my granddaughter is planning to build you a special female team?”

“Hmm, Captain’s planning to do that.”

Old Lady Shen nodded, “That’s a good idea, but this Special Forces is not an ordinary unit. The ability and energy required is not something a normal person can bear. You’d better think of it, there will be no turning back once you draw your bow.”

“I know the seriousness of the matter.”

“That’s good. It’s just that, don’t make things too difficult for yourself. After all, you need to recuperate well during this period of time. Cough cough.”

The madame coughed as she covered her mouth.

When Xiao Jing saw her suddenly cough, she hurriedly held up the teacup. “Is your mouth a little dry?”

Old Lady Shen did not drink water. She smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand my words now. After that, you will understand. After you get married, you will understand even more.”

Xiao Jing seemed to have understood the old man’s words. Her cheeks reddened involuntarily as she said, “Grandma, it’s a little early to say about this matter.”

“Before, we were all worried, after all, your identity could not be made public at that time, and now it is different. If you have enough military exploits, then it is time to announce it to the world.” We were all worried before, because after all, your identity could not be made public at that time.

Xiao Jing blushed as she looked at the shadow at her feet. “Grandma, this matter is not urgent.”

Old Madam Shen understood the concerns of the children and was not in a hurry. She said, “Alright, alright, I won’t rush you. I can see that this body of mine can live for at least another ten years. I have plenty of time to carry my great-grandchildren.”

Xiao Jing bashfully wrapped her fingers around her finger. “Grandma, can you leave after attending our wedding ceremony?”

“There are still a few more months before your future father-in-law thinks so highly of you. We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”

Xiao Jing excitedly stood up. “How many more months?”

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

Old Lady Shen tugged on her arm, indicating for her to sit down.

Xiao Jing was indeed a little unruly. She sat back and hesitantly said, “When is Marshal looking at me?”

“It seems to be the second half of the year. Originally, it was April, but your father was in a hurry, and now it seems that he is indeed anxious. Perhaps he wants to wait for you to achieve something in the female army before announcing yourself.”

Xiao Jing subconsciously looked at her stomach. If she really got pregnant, how would she explain it in a few months?

Can it be explained that the food in the army is so good that you eat and you get fat?

Hehe, I’m only fat.

“What’s wrong?”

Old Madam Shen noticed her sudden depression and comforted her, “You want to marry into the Shen family so badly?”

Xiao Jing quickly shook her head. “Actually, father’s worry is also correct. If the news of the captain and I getting married suddenly comes out, then it would be a bit inappropriate. It would also be good to set the date for the second half of the year.”

“I thought you were worried that our Shen family will shamelessly not marry you.”

Xiao Jing scratched the back of her head, “Grandma sure would joke with me.”

Old Madam Shen stood up and walked around the room twice. She purposely walked to the window and placed her hands in front of it, looking down at the two or three figures that would occasionally run past.

Xiao Jing stood a meter away from her, not saying a word to interrupt the old man’s mood.

“This military camp is pretty good. Although it’s a little tiring, it’s still worth it.”

Old Lady Shen gently lifted the hanging orchid from the windowsill. “The flowers are also exceptionally well-kept.”

Xiao Jing picked up a small watering can and sprayed some water on the flower. “Suspending Orchids aren’t that delicate. Spraying a little water will bring them back to life.”

“Just like you once did. Just by giving you a little warmth, you feel like you’re living a blissful life.”

Xiao Jing’s subordinates stopped. They didn’t really want much in the past, so they didn’t think much of it. Now, however, they were overthinking it. They wanted more, and wanted better.

Old Madam Shen looked warmly into her eyes. “Child, don’t bear any burdens. You’ve worked hard to obtain all of this today.”

“Grandma, I know.”

“Alright, I’ve said too much today, so I’ll be going back first. You don’t look too good either, so you should rest for a while.”

Old Madam Shen put on her coat. Before she left, she glanced at the child’s figure and smiled benevolently before turning around to leave.

The room returned to silence once again. Xiao Jing put down the small sprinkler in her hand. After some hesitation, she took out the test paper from her pocket.

The sun was shining down on her hands from the window ledge, and two red stripes showed at the center of the paper. She frowned, as if she had forgotten something important.

Was one bar pregnant, or two?

Xiao Jing raised her hand to her forehead, carefully recalling the instructions on the box.

“BOOM!” “BOOM!” “BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

The tightly shut door opened again, and Elder Shen came back. He went straight to the point, “I forgot to give you something.”

C280

Xiao Jing didn’t expect the old lady to return. She panicked and hid the item in her hand behind her back. She tightly held onto this item.

Madam Shen noticed her change and subconsciously looked at her hands that were hidden behind her back.

Xiao Jing became even more nervous as she held the paper in her hand and swallowed her saliva.

Old Madam Shen’s gaze landed on her without concealing anything as she said with a faint smile, “Looks like you don’t want me to know this secret?”

Xiao Jing coughed, “Grandma, this is only a small matter. You don’t need to worry about it.”

“Alright, alright, I’m not a person who likes to pry other people’s secrets. If you want to say it, just say it. If you don’t want to say it, I can’t force you.”

Old Madam Shen took out the items in her pocket and placed them on the table.

Xiao Jing looked at it and felt that it was very familiar. Wasn’t this the thing she was holding in her hands?

Almost as soon as she recognized the box, her heart began to beat faster and stronger.

Old Lady Shen said bluntly, “Keep this for now. You might have a chance to use it in the future.”

Xiao Jing knew the answer but still asked, “What is this?”

Old Lady Shen gave a secretive smile. “Early pregnancy test paper.”

Xiao Jing pretended to panic, “What are you doing here?”

“Keep it for a rainy day, and you don’t know it. I’ll prepare it for you first.”

Seeing that she did not move, Madam Shen walked forward and placed the box in her hands. “You will read the instructions, right?”

Xiao Jing’s face flushed, “I will see.”

“Two bars means you are pregnant. When the time comes, you must go to the hospital to check it out. There is no reason for you to be careless about this matter.”

“…”

“In the army, training is always tiring and bitter, not to mention the special forces. Pay attention.”

Looking at her motionless expression, Madam Shen was afraid it would scare her if she said too much. She changed her tone and said, “I was only preparing it for you first. Of course, I know that you can’t use it right now, so put it aside first.”

“Yes, Grandma.”

Xiao Jing held the box tightly, her hands were instantly filled with sweat.

“I’m done. I’m leaving.”

After taking two steps, Old Madam Shen turned around and pointed at her right hand, which was still hidden behind her back. “I know your little secret, but don’t hold it in and easily spoil yourself.”

Xiao Jing came back to her senses and hurriedly nodded as if she was playing with garlic. “I know, I know.”

Old Madam Shen knew that she was being foolish again and smiled amiably. “You can rest.”

The door closed again.

She spread out the box in her hands, and used her fingertips to stroke each word on it. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she took out the thing hidden in her right hand. She didn’t know if she was too nervous, or if the paper was about to be crushed by her hands.

The wind was blowing outside the window, and from time to time there would be a passionate shout or two from the courtyard.

Xiao Jing heavily knocked her head on the table and knocked on it. What should she say now?

She was considering whether or not she should show this to the captain. Then, she told him in a voice filled with emotion, “Congratulations, captain. You are about to become a father.”

Would the captain slap himself back? Of course, the captain wouldn’t be willing to hit him, but if the captain knew that he hadn’t taken the medicine, would he have shut me in?

“Dong, dong, dong.”

A series of orderly footsteps came from the corridor. From the frequency, it seemed that the footsteps were heading towards her room.

Xiao Jing quickly stuffed the box under her pillow.

The next moment, the closed door was pushed open from the outside.

Shen Chengfeng pushed open the door with a bag and immediately saw the woman who was looking at him with her eyes rolled up on the chair.

Xiao Jing stood up, hiding her guilt. She said, “Captain, you’re back.”

“Did my grandma just come over?”

Shen Chengfeng put down the bag in his hand, poured a cup of warm water and mixed it with a glass of brown sugar water.

Xiao Jing walked up to him and murmured, “En, I sat for a while and then left.”

“What did she say to you?”

Shen Chengfeng handed the cup to her and said, “I heard from mother that she is preparing to head back in two days. I’m not used to the noise from the big cities.”

“She also came to tell me about it.”

“Although my grandmother is already very old, she is very intelligent. However, she is very shrewd. There are some things that we should not talk about. With a single glance, she will be able to guess the essence of it.”

Shen Chengfeng shook his head, “Other than saying those words to you, did she say anything else to you?”

Xiao Jing’s face was full of an indescribable bitter smile. 'Captain, you have completely inherited the old madam’s intelligence.

Shen Chengfeng saw her hesitation and understood that the madame must have said something else.

Xiao Jing knew that she couldn’t hide it from him, so she obediently handed him the things under the pillow.

Shen Chengfeng studied it for a while before his eyebrows furrowed even more. “She gave it to you?”

Xiao Jing shyly lowered her head, “En, the madame asked me to prepare it for you in case I need it.”

Shen Chengfeng put down the box, “As expected of my grandmother.”

“Do I still have this?”

Xiao Jing cautiously asked.

Shen Chengfeng looked at her without blinking, “Keep it.”

Xiao Jing guiltily moved her eyes away, as if she was a naked child in front of the captain, her every move would be seen clearly.

Shen Chengfeng was still staring fixedly at her face, “You’re hiding something from me?”

Xiao Jing uneasily held her breath. Should she say these words?

What do you mean?

After saying that, will the captain hit my ass for punishment?

Shen Chengfeng took two steps forward and raised his hand to brush against her forehead. He could clearly feel the subtle trembling in her body as he said, “If you don’t want to say it, you don’t have to say it.”

Xiao Jing was at a loss as to what to do as she took a step back. It was obvious that she was avoiding the captain’s contact.

Shen Chengfeng’s hands were frozen in front of her and he frowned. Was she trying to keep himself away from him?

Xiao Jing coughed lightly, “Captain, I do indeed have something to tell you.”

Shen Chengfeng brought over a chair and gestured for her to sit.

Xiao Jing, on the other hand, stood straight, like a prisoner who had committed a grave mistake. She didn’t dare to show any negligence.

Shen Chengfeng said with a serious expression, “Sit down and let’s talk.”

Xiao Jing raised her head and looked at him. “Captain, you will be very angry after hearing about this.”

“Speak, I won’t be angry.”

Shen Chengfeng sighed and held her hand. Sure enough, his palm was covered in sweat.

Xiao Jing mustered up her courage. She was about to blurt out words, but the words seemed to be stuck in her throat. She bit her lips and took a deep breath before saying, “Captain, I actually wanted to tell you —”

“Beep —” The bugle sounded, the first level of preparation.

Xiao Jing’s words came to a halt as she hurriedly asked, “Captain, what’s going on?”

Shen Chengfeng wanted to continue listening to her words, but hearing the red horn that shocked everyone in the camp, he did not stay any longer and turned around and walked towards the entrance.

Xiao Jing followed closely behind, gathering all the members of the Special Forces in the field.

Mu Xi staggered out of the car. She was injured, and bright red blood was flowing from her right arm. The moment she got off the car, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Mr. Pei helped him up and said in surprise, “What’s going on?”

“Vice-captain, we were attacked by the enemy. I risked my life to chase them out. Instructor and the others are all missing. We don’t know if we’re dead or alive.”

Everything had gone smoothly before the attack. However, nobody had expected that they would be surrounded by an unknown enemy force at the last moment. The patrolling troops had rushed over to support them, but had resulted in countless casualties.

“The captain’s here.”

Cheng Feng stood aside and made way.

Shen Chengfeng rushed over and checked on Mu Xi Chi’s injuries. His face, which had been in a state of paralysis, frowned and he asked, “Where are the others?”

“The current situation is unclear. We veterans are alright, but the recruits’ situation is unknown. It’s likely that the situation is even more steep than we imagined.”

Mu Xi Chi stood up with a deathly pale face. The wound on her arm seemed to have injured her arteries, and blood was continuously flowing out.

“Let’s stop talking for now. Send Mu Xi Chi to the infirmary and gather the others.”

Everyone stood side by side, their faces full of unspeakable seriousness. Under such circumstances, there would definitely be casualties.

Shen Chengfeng did not say anything but his gaze fell on Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing seemed to sense his gaze and instinctively looked over, her two pairs of eyes intersecting.

“Everyone, leave immediately, with the exception of Xiao Jing.”

Shen Chengfeng gave the final order.

Xiao Jing’s expression turned cold. Seeing her comrades who had been ordered to quickly walk to the airport, she hurriedly followed. “Captain, why did you leave me here?”

“We need to leave the last person to support us, and also take care of Mu Xi Chi while we’re at it.”

Shen Chengfeng said seriously.

Xiao Jing frowned, “Isn’t this the same situation as keeping Mr. Pei’s vice-captain around?”

Shen Chengfeng admitted that he was just looking for selfish reasons, why should he?

He didn’t know, but he subconsciously felt that this time he couldn’t send her out no matter what, he had to keep her in the Iron Eagle team.

When Xiao Jing heard the sound of the helicopter’s wings starting up, she anxiously asked, “Captain, you don’t want me to go?”

Shen Chengfeng held her in his arms as he gently caressed the back of her head, “I have been feeling uneasy these past few days. I am afraid that there will be an accident on this mission. Stay here obediently, I will be back soon.”

Xiao Jing couldn’t help but grab onto the corner of his clothes. “There will be an accident?”

Shen Chengfeng dodged the attack and said softly, “Before you find out who attacked us, no one can guarantee that this mission will not be completed. You have been feeling unwell for the past two days. Promise me, you will stay in the Iron Eagle.”

Xiao Jing released her grip on him and took a step back. She stood up straight and saluted.

Shen Chengfeng prepared to board the plane.

Xiao Jing followed up with two steps and shouted, “Captain, I haven’t finished speaking yet.”

Shen Chengfeng turned around and her figure was already right in front of him.

Xiao Jing stuffed the test paper in her pocket into his pocket, tightly holding onto his hand. “Promise me, I’ll read it when I come back.”

Shen Chengfeng held her face with both hands and leaned over to pinch her lips. He squeezed her into his embrace as though he was using all his might.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!

The helicopter rose high in the air.

Xiao Jing raised her head and saluted as she watched her comrades leave.

Inside the cabin, everyone remained silent.

Shen Chengfeng reached into his pocket and wanted to take out something to see what she had just given him, but he promised to take a look when he came back. After some deliberation, he chose to give up in the end.

“Captain, what should we do next?”

Mr. Pei opened his mouth to break the silence.

Shen Chengfeng walked to the map and observed the terrain seriously. The CY border was already a snow-covered mountain. The weather was low and the altitude was high. It was not conducive to a battle.

“Captain, according to what has happened, they were ambushed in this place. I guess the enemy sneaked in from this direction.”

Mr. Pei pointed to a forest to the southwest. The trees were too tall to allow the satellite to locate it.

“Our troops are divided into three groups, which will enter from the southeast, southwest, and northwest. The moment suspicious elements are discovered, we will immediately fire.”

Shen Chengfeng put on his communicator and asked his superiors for another batch of support.

When did the Iron Eagle Squadron need external help on a mission?

“I’m worried that things won’t be as simple as we think. No matter what, we have to ensure everyone’s safety.”

The helicopters slowly lowered their altitude, and one figure after another rapidly slid down and disappeared into the forest.

Under the setting sun, the horizon was scorching red.

Xiao Jing stood in the empty room, pacing back and forth.

“Knock, knock.”

There was a knock on the door behind him.

Xiao Jing hastily stuffed the box under her pillow. She turned around and looked at the room’s door that was pushed open by someone. It was her Third Brother, who was fully armed.

Xiao Zheng instantly saw her panic and unease as he took off his military hat and slowly walked in.

“Third Brother, why are you here?”

Xiao Jing looked at the weapon in his hand, her eyebrows knitted together. This should be a quest.

Xiao Zheng nodded, “I already expected that Shen Chengfeng would ask you to stay behind as a support. At first, I thought that even if you were left behind, you would still object. I never expected that you really did not follow.”

Xiao Jing understood the meaning behind Xiao Zheng’s words, and she took two steps forward vigilantly, “You are also here to save him?”

“Yes, I’m going to help the Iron Eagle team evacuate.”

Xiao Jing clasped her hands together, “It’s very dangerous, right?”

“Right now, the situation is very confusing. We don’t even know if there are any deaths or injuries, so the higher-ups took it very seriously, so they specifically sent me to help.”

“Then shouldn’t you have left already?”

Xiao Jing didn’t understand why he appeared at the Iron Eagle. Could it be that he was planning to take her with him?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jing quickly took off her clothes.

Xiao Zheng saw that she was not worried about him so he hurriedly took off his clothes and hurriedly said, “Little Four, what are you doing?”

“Aren’t you here to pick me up?”

“Wait a minute, I’ll be ready in a minute.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Xiao Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry as he held onto her hand that was unbuttoning its buttons, “I only came to take a look on my way and left immediately.”

“Aren’t you here to take me on a mission with you?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? You are a member of the Iron Eagle Squad. Even if I wanted to bring you along, I would need Shen Chengfeng’s permission. Otherwise, we would all violate the rules.”

Xiao Zheng put on his military hat once more, “You stay here and do your logistics, the reason why every team left the last person is not to allow her to eliminate the danger of killing the enemy, but rather because of her greater responsibility. For example, right now you need to contact your captain and also prepare for any unexpected situations.”

Xiao Jing straightened her body. “Yes, sir.”

“I’ll be leaving first. I’ll come see you when I get back.”

Xiao Zheng similarly saluted.

Xiao Jing stood on the field and looked at the helicopter flying in the air once again. Her hands and feet were stiff. She couldn’t help but clench her fists in nervousness.

In the infirmary, the medic controlled the infusion rate and quietly left the ward.

Mu Xi Chi closed her eyes slightly. Her consciousness must have been in chaos after losing too much blood.

Xiao Jing gently pushed the door open and entered. A wave of disinfectant smell assaulted her. She took two steps forward, making sure that the person on the bed had already fallen asleep and was ready to leave.

“Is there anything you want to say to me?”

Although Mu Xi Chi’s head was a little dizzy, her hearing wasn’t affected. He opened his eyes, which were filled with mist. It took him a little bit of time before he could clearly see Xiao Jing who was standing at the entrance.

“I want to ask you about the recruits.”

Xiao Jing brought over a chair and sat beside the bed.

“I don’t know about the situation of the recruits, but I know that Cheng Chen and the others might be in danger. When they were covering me for leaving, they had already been discovered by the enemies, and I was worried that if I stayed too long, I would —” Mu Xi’s throat tightened, and she couldn’t bear to say a single word.

“You mean bad luck?”

Xiao Jing’s heart began to beat frantically.

Mu Xi closed his eyes, his hands clutching the bedsheets tightly. His wounds had opened up again due to his emotions.

Xiao Jing stood up and pressed down on the wound that was dyed red once again. “Don’t move. If the wound isn’t treated properly, then your hand will be crippled.”

“I suddenly feel a bit regretful.”

Mu Xi looked at Xiao Jing, her eyes reflecting the light. Within the fluctuating emotions, a liquid flickered in her eyes, “What are we doing as soldiers?”

One by one, our comrade-in-arms left. Xiao Jing, tell me, why are we serving as soldiers?
