Night was falling, and the camp was peaceful once more.
Lying on the bed, Xiao Jing raised her hand and looked at the small jade in her hand. In the center of the jade was a small Mirage.
She sat up. The jade tentacles were warm, and she wore them around her neck. Her face was filled with an uncontrollable snicker.
The captain gave it to me.
The captain gave it to me.
The captain gave it to me.
She repeated a sentence, like a crazy Husky proudly wagging his tail.
"Dong, dong, dong."
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Xiao Jing almost subconsciously ran towards the door. According to the plot, it must be her own team leader, glittering with golden light.
Xiao Ye stood at the entrance expressionlessly, staring at Xiao Jing, who was smiling at him with a lovestruck expression.
The smile on Xiao Jing"s face disappeared in the blink of an eye. She coldly stared at the uninvited person and frowned, "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Ye squeezed past her and walked into the room by himself. He poured himself a cup of water and let out a long sigh. He then leisurely said, "Big brother has sent me to monitor you."
Xiao Jing"s heart skipped a beat. She asked in surprise, "Why are you spying on me?"
Xiao Ye humphed, and looked at her with an unfriendly expression. He told her physically: I have plenty of time not to waste, so why did you come all the way here?
Xiao Jing coughed softly, "This isn"t in accordance with the rules."
"If rules are useful to you guys, why would I stay here shamelessly?"
Xiao Ye sat on a chair and stared at the culprit with sharp eyes. He said, "I"m regretting it now."
"What do you regret?"
Xiao Jing guiltily avoided his gaze attack.
Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes, "How can you not know what I"m regretting?"
"If you don"t have anything else to say, then go out. I"m going to rest."
Xiao Jing walked to the bed.
Xiao Ye rushed over and sat on her blanket, the corners of his mouth raised in a mocking smile, "Let"s sleep together."
Xiao Jing forcefully pulled back the blanket and chased him off his bed. "Scram."
"We"re all brothers anyway, there"s nothing wrong with sleeping in the same bed."
Xiao Ye decided to make a trip and directly took over the bed with his words wide open.
Xiao Jing stared at him in leisure. Previously, she did not understand Xiao Ye"s intentions for her Iron Eagle, especially when her own captain repeatedly asked her to take off her clothes, she had tossed these questions to the back of her mind. Now that she thought about it carefully, this guy in front of her must have found out about her secret, which was why she let Shen Chengfeng expose her.
This fellow was truly shrewd.
Xiao Ye turned over and the smile on his face became even wider. He said, "You don"t want to sleep with me?"
"Then I"ll have to trouble you with laying the floor. My heart is very tired today and I need to rest."
Xiao Jing stood motionlessly in front of the bed, looking down on the rascal who was obviously planning on playing rogue with her.
She unclenched her fists and twisted her neck.
Xiao Ye was all smiles as he waited for her to counterattack. He was a general after all, and was considered heroic in front of Xiao Jing"s small body. She probably didn"t have the ability to shake his position on the bed.
Xiao Jing undid the b.u.t.tons of her jacket, and took off her jacket before saying indifferently, "Since you want to sleep with me, then let"s sleep together. But I have a bad habit, I just like sleeping with fruits."
Xiao Ye saw how she quickly took off her thin T-s.h.i.+rt. He could not help but turn his back to her and grunted, "If you have the ability, then take it off."
"You forced me."
Xiao Jing clenched her teeth. She crouched down and prepared to take off the last piece of clothing.
"You won."
Xiao Ye sat up, stiffly moving his body, and cautiously followed the wall, preparing to leave the bandit"s den.
Satisfied, Xiao Jing laid back on the bed and said, "Close the door."
"Pah!"
Xiao Ye stared at the door behind him with widened eyes. He had listened to her and closed the door voluntarily?
What about the prestige of his general?
What about his dignity as a general?
d.a.m.n it, it was all gone!
A series of hurried footsteps could be heard from the quiet corridor. The next moment, someone came and pushed the door open.
Shen Chengfeng was wearing a towel as he looked at the invader who broke through the door. His face was expressionless, as though he was not affected by Xiao Ye"s sudden visit.
Xiao Ye smacked his lips and sat on the chair with his legs crossed, just like Second Elder. He tapped on the table with his fingertips and said, "You took a bath?"
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Shen Chengfeng put on his jacket and sat in front of the computer, processing the temporary doc.u.ments that Xiao Jianming had just issued.
Xiao Ye looked at his subordinate"s doc.u.ment, the corner of his mouth slyly rising a little, "Now you know who you"ve offended. You"re not good at showing off in front of anyone, but you want to show off in front of my big brother. Now you know your regret, right?"
"Regret what?"
Shen Chengfeng asked.
"Don"t think that my big brother would choose to turn a deaf ear and ignore me. He will definitely send out everything he can to turn this Iron Eagle upside down and surrender by himself."
"You underestimate me."
"You"re the one who underestimated my big brother. He"s already started moving."
Xiao Ye said seriously.
"Action what?"
Shen Chengfeng asked even though he knew the answer.
"Didn"t you see me?"
"He sent me, sent me who was the biggest threat to you, and you didn"t feel any sense of danger?"
Xiao Ye"s expression was grave and worried.
Shen Chengfeng looked at him silently and took off his gloves. He then covered the doc.u.ment with his hands. In an instant, a wisp of white smoke rose and all that was left of the doc.u.ment was a pile of dregs.
Xiao Ye coughed softly and looked in another direction with a guilty conscience.
Shen Chengfeng quietly put on his gloves and opened up his computer screen. He gave the order to leave and said, "If you"re fine, you can leave now."
Xiao Ye placed both hands on the table and said seriously, "Aren"t you the least bit afraid?"
"Xiao family"s reputation overestimates you."
Shen Chengfeng said without thinking.
Xiao Ye"s expression froze. What did he mean by this?
"With your small amount of weight, I, Tie Ying, can easily kill you in a second."
Xiao Ye nearly lost his composure and flipped the table. He pointed a finger at the other party and said indignantly, "You are questioning my ability as a general. Very well, Shen Chengfeng, I will let you know what happens after you anger me."
"Yeah, I"ll wait and see."
Shen Chengfeng said casually.
Xiao Ye held his breath. If he couldn"t go down, he felt like he needed to have a fight with this guy to calm down.
He was so worried about them, yet these two fellows were the same, trying to tear him down before they even crossed the river.
"Shen Chengfeng, won"t your conscience hurt if you destroy the bridge by crossing the river like this?"
In terms of intelligence, he might be superior to others, but in terms of intelligence, he reminded them at all times that they had to bear the heart of fraternity to save the world of imbeciles.
Shen Chengfeng put down his mouse, rested his hands on his chin, and stared at the man across the table, "It"s not important for Xiao Wen to know about this. What"s important is who will be able to calm this matter after it is announced."
"Our Xiao family also has the ability to do that."
Xiao Ye said casually.
"The Xiao family has Madam Xiao guarding them. Do you think that with her insignificant pride, she would agree for you to give up your status to save the undoted Fourth Young Master?"
"What"s more, this fourth young master has violated military discipline. According to the law, if he were to be stripped of his military position, he would be stripped of his position for at least three years or even his entire life."
"Grandma has rarely asked about the Xiao family"s matters. She is old after all."
Xiao Ye said it without confidence. Anyone would know the influence of the older generation"s leader in the military. Even if his G.o.dfather were to step in, he might not be able to quell his grandma"s anger.
"In less than two years, General Xiao will be promoted to a general. At this critical juncture, anything that affects his promotion will be immediately stopped by Old Madam Xiao. Do you think that your Xiao family has the ability to protect her?"
"Yes, you"re right. Big brother has thought about this too. Did he think about using —"
"I have ten meritorious services. If I want to rise, I will become an admiral in the spring next year."
"I"ve thought about what Xiao Qing had, but I think that the method is wrong."
"What do you mean?"
"With her glory added to her body, why should she be afraid of the wind leaking out?"
Shen Chengfeng turned over the computer screen and continued, "I have checked the history. During the riots in the last century, General Siyi was infiltrated into the military camp in disguise, causing a huge uproar. In order to conceal this fact, the military immediately stripped her of her military exploits and destroyed all her archives. But General Siyi refused to accept it."
"I"ve heard of this history as well. Not only did the Four Seasons General not get stripped of his position later on, he even established the first female army, which could be said to be a well-known army at that time. Unfortunately, after the death of the Four Seasons General, this army was gradually divided by the female army, and thus only General Hao Jianyue was one of the top ten ranked troops in the country."
"No matter how much glory others have gained for peace, it will only leave an indelible stain on the military. From then on, I"m afraid that I won"t be able to enter the army camp again, so I will have to give up my faith and live on. I think in the end, I will have no choice but to turn my pride into pettiness."
Xiao Ye"s eyes stared unblinkingly at the person in front of him. His unsmiling features and cold indifference were clear and meticulous. He was not only looking at the person in front of him, but also at the future. He was thinking about how to live with a clear conscience.
Perhaps he had been right.
The Xiao family only wanted to protect her and not give her a chance to s.h.i.+ne.
The Xiao family"s love was conservative and unable to seal itself, and they only wished for peace and quiet for the rest of their lives.
But on Shen Chengfeng"s board, he was facing the enemy head on and using his greatest glory to stop the crowd from talking.
The Xiao family was wrong from the start. They wanted to stay in the 525th group for five years and then return home after retiring. At worst, they would just give up their status as a second lieutenant in the 525th group.
Who would have thought that they would enter the Iron Eagle? This was quite a sight to behold.
Indeed, every child of the Xiao family was born with the soul of the Xiao family"s soldiers.
Perhaps he, Shen Chengfeng, was right. At the very least, he liked this ending, not because he wanted to cover up the trouble, but because he was so righteous that no one dared to look down on him, turning the trouble into the pride of the Xiao Clan.
"Do you still want to help Xiao Ying?"
Shen Chengfeng interrupted his thoughts.
Xiao Ye stood up and smiled, "I"ve never thought of helping him. I, Xiao Ye, have never liked to listen to anyone when I do things. That"s why I"m willing to follow my general"s status."
"You can go now."
When he closed the door behind him, Xiao Ye suddenly woke up.
I, as the empire"s young general, was being yelled at like this by all of you, where is my dignity!
Xiao Ye turned around, and raised his hand, preparing to break the door once more. When he thought of the poisonous snake eyes staring at him unkindly, he s.h.i.+vered for a moment, then silently turned around and left.
Under the bright morning sun, the military songs in the military camp reverberated everywhere in the camp.
The private cars drove in in an orderly fas.h.i.+on and finally stopped in front of the administration building.
The guards on both sides of the car stood side by side with serious expressions on their faces.
Dressed in an exquisite military uniform, Yan Jun placed a hand on her waist as she stared at the building in front of her. She walked up the stairs and spoke to the vast group of people behind her: "You don"t need to follow me."
She stood in front of the office and looked at her watch with confidence.
"Knock, knock."
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Come in."
The man"s voice was as calm as before, without any undulations.
Yan Jun pushed open the door and walked in. When she saw her son sitting at the desk, she smiled and said, "The weather today is pretty good."
Shen Chengfeng tidied up the doc.u.ments on the table without saying a word. He was too lazy to bother with his mother who was so obvious.
Yan Jun walked up to the table and leaned against it. With a smile on his face, he asked, "Just you alone?"
"Who else does my mother think will be in my office?"
Shen Chengfeng asked instead of answering.
Yan Jun covered her mouth with one hand, unable to conceal the smile that uncontrollably appeared on her face. She said, "I thought that lady had yet to return."
"Mother, don"t worry. I am a soldier who follows the law. I know the priorities of the situation. The military camp is not suitable for children"s relations.h.i.+ps, so mother doesn"t need to come and test me next time."
Shen Chengfeng pointed out her intentions.
Instead of getting angry, Yan Jun smiled instead and looked around. The chairs were arranged neatly and with a serious expression. It was just the same as her son, who was slightly obsessed with cleanliness. She asked, "How old is that girl?"
"Does Mother want to investigate her?"
Shen Chengfeng did not answer and instead asked.
"I know your personality. Before you are unwilling to take her home, your father and I will not interfere in this matter, but you know it as well. As parents, you will always feel anxious. You don"t want us to see her, so at least tell us her name.
"I"ll take her back in the new year."
"Don"t worry. We really don"t want to investigate her family background." Yan Jun suddenly fell silent. She stared at her calm son in shock and asked carefully, "You want to bring her back?"
"Yes."
It was a simple word, but it was like the wind blowing past, leaving no traces behind.
Yan Jun stood up abruptly and looked down condescendingly at her calm son. Her facial expression was a little uncontrollable. She was thinking about how to smile, but she was also afraid that if she laughed too loudly, she would turn the tables around. In the end, her facial expression became awkward, as if she was showing signs of a stroke.
Shen Chengfeng placed the doc.u.ment into his folder and wrote a piece of volcanic mud on it. He said, "You and father do not need to come here to probe me. When the time comes, I will naturally let you meet this future daughter-in-law."
"Hahaha."
Yan Jun laughed loudly and nodded, "Alright, alright. During this period of time, your father and I will give you two a sufficient amount of time to get along."
"If you have nothing else then please go back. I have to go to the military."
Shen Chengfeng stood up as well.
Yan Jun continued to nod her head in satisfaction. She looked at her son, who was a head taller than her, and gently patted his back.
"Mother still has something to say?"
"In the future, treat her better. Don"t bring her into the hospital like you did a few times before. No matter how good a girl is, she won"t be able to withstand your torment."
"When you"re with a girl, put on your gloves and don"t give me the time to think about doing those things that aren"t suitable for you. Although mother wants you to marry and have children, there are some things that we have to accept."
"Mother —"
Alright, you still have things to do, so I won"t repeat these words to you again, so that you won"t feel uncomfortable listening to it. However, you must listen to my mother"s advice that it is already very impressive for her to pretend to be brave enough to be with you.
Yan Jun opened the door. Originally, he wanted to remind him of this, but the instant he opened the door, a figure slipped in and threw himself at her.
Xiao Jing deliberately kept a low profile as she entered from the back of the administrative building. She thought about how she would secretly meet the Captain of her own brilliant and powerful team without alarming anyone. Seeing that the office door was wide open, she unreservedly pounced on him.
Hmm, today"s captain is a little skinny, he seems to be a little shorter. No, there seems to be the fragrance of orchids on him, like perfume.
Xiao Jing raised her head and blinked her eyes. She looked at the completely filled General Yan, and the corner of her mouth couldn"t help but twitch in embarra.s.sment.
He stared expressionlessly at the soldier who was tying up his hands. For a moment, he looked at each other.
Xiao Jing hurriedly let go as if she had seen a ghost. She hurriedly took two steps back, straightened her body, saluted, and shouted, "Sir."
Yan Jun narrowed his eyes and seriously observed the young soldier who rushed in and hugged him. Although he had been famous in the army camp all these years, he was still a hero. He was a general who could only be watched from afar and not messed with.
"This, this, General Yan Jun—" Xiao Jing was speechless. What should she say to get rid of the suspicion that the person she wanted to hug was her son?
"I know that I have been quite popular recently, but don"t be like this in the future. It would be disgraceful to act rashly."
Xiao Jing stiffly straightened her body. She couldn"t help but look in the direction of her own captain.
As Yan Jun walked to the door, he looked at his son, who was still standing there, and asked, "Why aren"t you leaving yet?"
Shen Chengfeng nodded, "I need to talk to this soldier first. You can leave first."
Yan Jun walked straight towards the corridor. She suddenly understood the feeling of déjà vu from the soldier just now. Wasn"t this the Xiao Clan"s Fourth Young Master whom her younger brother had been thinking of?
However, he still felt that it was somewhat familiar. It was as if he had seen it somewhere before. If not in the army camp, then where else had he seen it?
"Dong, dong, dong."
A series of messy footsteps came from the stairs.
Yan Mo panted heavily as he ran upstairs. When he saw his big sister walking towards him, his expression turned grave.
Yan Jun stared at his younger brother, who had rushed over just because he smelled something. He then looked at the office door behind him in a secretive manner. He smacked his lips and said, "He really is a sinful person."
"I knew it was you when I saw the formation downstairs. You came all of a sudden, did you know about San"er"s situation?"
Yan Mo asked.
"Yes, I already know."
"You don"t object?"
Yan Mo frowned.
"Now that things have come to this, what can I object to?
"We can"t force things like feelings."
"Sis, aren"t you being biased like this?"
Will your conscience not hurt you if you do this to me?
"Third son, if you agree to this, I can"t?"
"Of course you can"t."
Yan Jun interrupted him and took a step forward. With a burning gaze, she said, "Your responsibilities are different from San"er"s. You need to save them for the Yan Clan."
"So you support them?"
Yan Mo put his hands on his forehead and said, "No, you don"t understand me. You don"t understand me at all."
"Elder sister, you know how bitter your heart has been these past few days. After seeing Third Brother like this, you will be even more miserable. However, Yan Mo, you must know that you are a child of the Yan Clan. You cannot allow the Yan Clan to end their descendants without doing anything."
"Whatever I say, you want me to quit, right?"
Yan Mo"s eyes reddened.
Yan Jun nodded solemnly. Without thinking, he blurted out, "Yes!"
Overstatement -
The two Yan Clan siblings, who knew the truth, wanted to cry but had no tears. Hahaha.
