Shen Chengfeng subconsciously looked towards the washroom.
Xiao Ying closed the door behind him and entered the room. He didn"t care if the room"s owner agreed to his entrance or not. He placed his military hat on the table and raised his eyes to meet his.
Shen Chengfeng"s tone was as calm as usual as he said, "General Xiao, did you just return from a mission?"
"I won"t beat around the bush with you. I"ll take Xiao Jing away."
"This sentence sounds very familiar. It seems like both General Xiao Hong and General Xiao Zheng have told me that your Xiao family has been very concerned about this Fourth Young Master."
Shen Chengfeng"s fingers gently tapped on the table and deliberately created some noise.
Xiao Ying said coldly, "I"m not here to discuss with you, I"m here to instruct you."
"This doesn"t seem to conform with the rules. General Xiao is the leader of the Special Forces headquarters. With such disregard for discipline, shouldn"t we let the higher-ups judge the review?"
"I"ve already said it. I"m not discussing this with you. It"s fine if you agree to this today, but I must take Xiao Jing with me."
Shen Chengfeng sat back in his chair and placed his hands on his body. He raised his head and looked at the man across the table casually and said, "Since General Xiao Ye does not intend to discuss this with me, why do you have to come here and take a walk?"
"I don"t want you to stop me. I feel that I have to let you know in advance."
"Yes, I know."
"Just like you said, you don"t need to discuss with me. I also don"t think there"s a need to talk to you anymore. You can take Xiao Jing away, but I want to get my legs on her body. She has her own authority."
"As the leader, I can decide whether she will stay or not."
Xiao Ying picked up his military hat and placed it on the crook of his arm. He then said, "Captain Shen is a smart man and does not wish for our Xiao family to come looking for trouble with your Iron Eagle over and over again. Please let us go this time."
"I didn"t say that I won"t let you leave, but General Xiao Qing should ask Xiao Jing. If she agrees to leave, I won"t stop her."
Shen Chengfeng said casually.
Xiao Ying frowned as he looked at Shen Chengfeng cautiously. When did this person become so reasonable?
Suddenly, there seemed to be a faint sound of flowing water in the air. Xiao Ying instinctively glanced in the direction of the washroom. There was nothing out of the ordinary in the enclosed s.p.a.ce.
Shen Chengfeng continued, "She is in her room. General Xiao can discuss this with her."
"Alright."
He turned around and prepared to leave, but he subconsciously felt that something was not right. Shen Chengfeng suddenly opened his mouth and unexpectedly, he thought that he would fight with this stubborn Yama like Xiao Hong today. Unexpectedly, he agreed?
Did he really agree?
Shen Chengfeng looked at the departing back view, glanced at the tightly shut washroom door and walked straight over.
Xiao Jing was hiding behind the door when she heard that the room had finally returned to silence. Knowing that her eldest brother should have already left, she hurriedly put on her coat and prepared to leave.
However, before her hand could touch the lock, another hurried voice came from the room.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh."
Lian Qing entered the dorm in a bedraggled manner. It was as if he had walked to the wrong building and found it after searching for a few floors.
He stood in the direction of the door and looked at the figure standing there unmoving in front of the washroom. For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward.
Shen Chengfeng turned around and tried to identify the man who had appeared rashly. His face was covered in mud and only a pair of eyes were staring at him. His entire body was… unable to bear the sight of it.
Lian Qing blinked and organized some words before carefully saying: "Captain Shen, are you going to the toilet?"
"No."
A succinct reply.
Lian Qing laughed, "That"s good, I"ll go take a bath, the mud on my body is almost dry."
With that, Lian Qing squeezed through Shen Chengfeng, unlocked the door and entered without hesitation.
Xiao Jing listened to the approaching voice. What should she do?
He couldn"t let this mysterious captain know that he was here all day long. Otherwise, with his mental circuitry, he would probably be able to make the three armies know of his pure and honest relations.h.i.+p with the captain, and add fuel to the fire by adding fuel to the fire.
She looked around for a week, forced to climb up the window and hang outside the wall.
A cold wind was blowing. She held her breath as she looked at the Xiao family"s figure that was rapidly walking past. She frantically placed her head on the wall.
He prayed silently in his heart: Don"t look up, don"t look up, don"t look up.
"Kacha! "Lian Qing pushed open the door of the washroom. In a good mood, he hummed a little tune, turned on the shower and then closed the window.
Xiao Fen walked into the ordinary dormitory building. Just as he was about to knock on the door, a person walked towards him.
Mr. Pei had just finished allocating the dormitories and was counting down the names. When he saw the officer not far ahead, he quickly stood up and saluted, "Sir."
Xiao Yi nodded and continued knocking on the door.
Pei Qian replied, "Sir, Second Lieutenant Xiao just left with the captain."
Xiao Ying"s hand stopped abruptly. He turned around and stared at Mr. Pei, who said those words with a burning gaze.
"What"s the matter?" he asked.
"Who did you say Xiao Jing left with?"
Xiao Ye asked again.
"He seems to be heading towards the dormitory building with the captain," replied Mr. Pei.
"Shen Chengfeng!"
Xiao Ying clenched his teeth as he shouted this name, then directly jumped down from the second floor of the dorm.
Mr. Pei leaned against the railing and stared at the departing figure with a slight frown. Is there something wrong?
It was normal for the captain to lead Ensign Xiao away, it would be more normal for them to pack up their daily necessities. After all, from tonight onwards, they would be living together.
Wait.
He seemed to have overlooked something. Since when did the leader of the group of soldiers squeeze into the common dorm room with them?
The night gradually deepened. As it had just been raining heavily, the weather was much cooler.
Shen Chengfeng stood in front of the table and looked at the folder on the table as he calculated how long Lian Qing had been there.
"BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The tightly shut door to the dormitory was forcefully pushed open from the outside.
Shen Chengfeng did not move, he only stared at the figure of the man who appeared in his line of sight once again.
Xiao Ying ignored his t.i.t for tat and continued walking towards the washroom. He knocked on the door as he heard the sound of water flowing intermittently.
"Dong, dong, dong."
Lian Qing turned off the tap and looked at the blurry image on the gla.s.s door. He was panicking. Why did he forget that Shen Chengfeng had such thoughts about him?
What should he do?
He didn"t seem to have locked the door!
Xiao Ying glanced at Shen Chengfeng, who was still not doing anything. He held the door lock with one hand and gave the people inside plenty of time to dress. About five minutes later, he pushed the door open.
Lian Qing hurriedly pulled on his T-s.h.i.+rt like he was swallowing dates. After realizing that the door to the room was opened, he hurriedly turned around with a face full of grievance. "Captain Shen, what are you trying to do?"
Xiao Ying looked at the tall man who had his back facing him. It was obvious that he was a man.
Lian Qing did not hear the reply and hurriedly put on his clothes. He turned around with a bitter smile and said: "Captain Shen, it will be very difficult for me if you barge in like this. Although we are all old men, we should still avoid looking down on you."
"Cough, cough."
Xiao Ying left the washroom awkwardly.
Lian Qing recognized the person outside the door. He subconsciously stood up straight and saluted, "Sir."
Xiao Ying covered her mouth and coughed softly, "Was it you who was taking a bath inside?"
Lian Qing nodded. "Can"t I wash?"
Xiao Qing knew Lian Qing. After all, Xiao Jing had been in his 525 group for 3 years, so she should know him even if he turned into ashes. He just didn"t understand why this Lian Qing was here … …
Bath!
"Did General Xiao come back just to see who was hiding in my bathroom?"
"Huh?"
Shen Chengfeng asked even though he knew the answer.
He felt that he might have thought something wrong.
Lianqing poked out half of her head and glanced at the two officers who seemed to be making love in silence. She hesitated as to whether or not she should sneak away.
"The company captain is here to study in the Iron Eagle Squadron?"
Xiao Qing suddenly turned around and looked at the figure walking toward the door with his back bent.
Lian Qing stiffened his body and nodded. "Yes, sir."
Xiao Qing looked at Lian Qing and then glanced at Shen Chengfeng. He could tell that the two of them were deliberately avoiding his gaze, as if they were trying to see through some secret.
The military was more or less filled with gossip about Shen Chengfeng. Even though Lian Qing was not a high ranking soldier, he had managed to live well in the 525th Regiment. He could be considered an elegant man.
Especially since he was bathing in Shen Chengfeng"s dorm room in broad daylight today. With such an obvious purpose, he shouldn"t have misunderstood.
"Cough, cough."
Xiao Ying couldn"t help but cough lightly, breaking the silence, "You guys continue, I"ll be leaving first."
"Yes, sir."
Lian Qing saluted once more as he watched Xiao Ying leave.
When the room returned to silence, Lian Qing felt a chill run down his back.
Go on what?
Shen Chengfeng"s eyes were deep as he said, "You can continue taking the bath now."
Lianqing nodded: "Yes, sir."
Shen Chengfeng looked in the direction of the washroom. It had been so long. This fella should have found a way to climb down.
Xiao Jing didn"t know whether to laugh or cry as she laid on the flowerbed. Her entire body was covered in mud.
She shook off the withered leaves on her body. Originally, she wanted to clean her clothes, but she didn"t expect them to be even dirtier now.
"Why are you here?"
The abrupt voice of a man came from behind Xiao Jing, and she abruptly straightened her back.
Xiao Qing looked around her before continuing, "I just went to your dorm. Why are you here?"
"I"m pulling the gra.s.s."
The corner of Xiao Jing"s mouth twitched. She squatted down and pulled at the green gra.s.s seedlings in the flower bed.
Xiao Qing Qing strode forward and looked down at her from above. She was as serious and serious as ever. "Go back and pack up. Come with me."
"Big brother."
Xiao Jing stood up and put away the silly smile on her face. Her eyes turned serious and serious.
"I"m not discussing with you, but telling you the results in the name of the Xiao family"s big brother."
"I won"t leave. I only stayed by relying on my own efforts. Why can"t you just say a word to control all of my efforts?"
Xiao Jing looked straight into his eyes. She had never been this serious before.
"Do you know why we have to take you?"
Xiao Ying asked.
She was not clear why they had never appeared after so many years in the Xiao family. Why did the moment she came to the Iron Eagle, they came out one by one like bamboo shoots after a spring rain? Could it be that they were afraid of losing the Xiao family"s honor because of their cowardice?
Xiao Qing"s tone was heavy, "Because you"re a girl!"
"Clang!"
Above the sky, thunder rumbled like thunder, and a huge dry-thunder sound shook the entire camp.
A drop of rain fell, and two drops of rain fell. The rain fell heavily.
Xiao Jing"s pupils constricted. In the end, she seemed to have hallucinated. Did she hear wrong just now?
Because I"m a girl?
Because I"m a girl!
Like thunder, Xiao Jing felt that the lightning just now must have struck her head.
Xiao Qing took a step forward with a sharp gaze. It was as if a net from the heavens had imprisoned Xiao Jing"s frail body within his own pupils.
Xiao Jing couldn"t help but stagger back a step, her heart filled with an unprecedented guilt. She didn"t dare to look straight at him, as if she had been forced to take off all of her clothes and had hidden her secret for more than twenty years, completely revealing to the world.
"Do you think I"m wrong?"
Xiao s.h.i.+ asked back with a calm voice.
Xiao Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and s.h.i.+fted her gaze. She had a million reasons to refute, but she discovered that all of her reasons were feeble and without any persuasive power.
Xiao Ying grabbed her hand, biting each word clearly. He said, "Do you know why I want to take you away now?"
Xiao Jing struggled for a moment before she anxiously retreated. In the end, she was unable to retreat any further and was blocked by a wall.
Xiao Lan released his grip on her and lowered his voice, "This is a man"s battlefield. I don"t need you to stay here feeling wronged."
"Big brother …"
"Go pack your things, I"ll take you home."
"I won"t go back."
Xiao Jing felt weak in her legs. She squatted down and hugged her knees tightly, "I"m not going back. No one said that the Special Forces will definitely become men"s soldiers. So what if I"m a woman?"
I also have the right to remain here. "
"Don"t you understand what I"m implying?"
Xiao Qing also squatted down and said, "These rough guys won"t know how to take care of you."
"I don"t need their care."
"Alright, I"ll put it another way. You broke the law and the military rules. You took advantage of the fact that no one was aware of you and retreated in one piece. Otherwise, once you were discovered, no one will be able to protect you, understand?"
"I won"t be discovered. It"s impossible for me to be discovered. My disguise is so good that no one will be able to discover me."
"Why can"t I find it?"
How could the difference between a boy and a girl not be noticed?
Do you think that everyone is like that blind Shen Chengfeng? "
Xiao Ying raised his hand and patted her shoulder. He said gently, "Before things get worse, you can come back with me. I will take care of your situation with Tie Ying."
"Big Brother, if I don"t leave, I really won"t leave. So what if I"m a woman?"
"I also have the right to stand upright for the country and the people, and I also have the duty to kill the enemies and spread my blood. If I don"t leave, if you want me to leave, then just announce my ident.i.ty. Otherwise, I won"t take a step back."
Xiao Jing staggered to her feet and ran towards her dorm building.
She was feeling guilty, she was afraid. She wasn"t sure if her big brother would suddenly take matters into his own hands, but she had no other choice. When things got out of hand, she had no choice but to fall apart.
Xiao Jing returned to her room, her hands trembling as she closed the door, restlessly walking around the room a few times.
"Dong, dong, dong."
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Xiao Qing stood outside the door and knocked again. "Open the door."
"Big brother …"
"Open the door."
Xiao Qing emphasized his tone.
Xiao Jing was forced to open the door to her room. Just as she released the lock, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Seeing the little girl whose eyes had unconsciously reddened, Xiao Ying"s heart softened. He took out a handkerchief and placed it on the table before saying: "I am only a.n.a.lyzing the pros and cons for you, not threatening you. Even if your ident.i.ty was exposed one day, the Xiao family will be able to help you block it. But Little Four, do you think you can rely on your thin arms and thin legs?"
"You need to put in ten or a hundred times more effort than others in order to stay here. Why do you have to feel so bad about yourself?"
Big brother, I have never felt wronged, much less worked hard. Although I will often be injured, often bleed, and may die in the next moment, but I like to rush into enemy camp with a spear shaft. I like to come back proudly after completing missions, and I like to sweat profusely but not boring daily training.
"Little Four!"
"Big Brother, I relied on my own efforts to obtain this. If I don"t go and steal it, I won"t be able to. Why are you all thinking of letting me leave one by one? It makes me feel that my achievements today are all given to me by others."
Xiao Jing held Xiao Qing"s sleeve tightly.
This was the second time she had dragged him like this. The first time they met, her small body was clenching the corner of her clothes, her eyes were full of hope for her big brother to play with her, but she pushed her small body away due to an urgent task. From then on, she never came near him again.
The timid little girl who had been peeping at him from the corner of the room had one day become an unyielding soldier. She said that she needed glory, although in her heart, this glory wasn"t much, it really wasn"t much, but it was something she liked.
Xiao Ying raised his hand and caressed her head gently. The pampering in his eyes could be clearly seen at that moment. He lowered his voice and asked, "Do you really like it that much?"
