The Border Patrol completed the final handover, and everyone stood in a row, saluting.
The helicopter hovers high in the sky, then vanishes into the clouds.
Everyone"s faces were filled with more or less exhaustion as they all leaned back in their chairs and fell into a deep sleep.
Shen Chengfeng noticed that the little figure beside him was sleeping soundly and did not seem to be worried about Mr. Pei who was reporting the situation to him. He just placed Xiao Jing"s head on his shoulder.
Pei Qian suddenly stopped talking. He felt that he should tactfully shut his mouth. What was he talking about? Did he not see that his captain was carefully coaxing Lieutenant Colonel Xiao to sleep?
Ha hha, Captain, your conscience will hurt if you are so ashamed of your soldiers.
Shen Chengfeng did not mind, "Carry on."
Pei Zi Yun was at a loss for words. He had actually forgotten where he was talking about. After organizing his thoughts, he said, "Captain, the higher-ups have issued an order. This time, everyone has successfully completed the extermination operation. The higher-ups will personally send someone to hand over their military exploits."
"That bunch of old men have nothing better to do. If they want to come, they"ll come. I might be leaving for a few days in a few days, so I"ll leave the matters in the team to you."
Shen Chengfeng said.
"In another ten days or so, we will be celebrating the new year. Are you planning to go home this year?"
"Well, I"ll be back at the party. I want to announce something."
Shen Chengfeng noticed that the little head on his shoulder was slightly tilted. He gently stroked her head and said, "You guys have finished setting up the stage. Everyone has worked hard for a whole year, so you should relax now."
"Captain, you have something important to announce?"
For some reason, Mr. Pei always felt that this matter had something to do with Xiao Jing.
Shen Chengfeng nodded, "Yes, it is very important to me."
Mr. Pei didn"t want to ask too much, so he shut his mouth bitterly. He glanced at Xiao Jing, who was sleeping soundly.
Shen Chengfeng knew that she did not sleep well, so he supported her head and leaned on his leg, showing his love for her.
All of a sudden, a wave of pink bubbles filled the cabin. All of them pretended to be asleep, while all of them simultaneously turned their heads to the other side.
The helicopter landed successfully. Qi Yue stood outside the helipad and saluted with his head held high.
Shen Chengfeng gently patted Xiao Jing"s shoulder and said, "We"re here."
Xiao Jing opened her eyes sleepily. She wiped the saliva off her mouth and looked at her comrades who were getting off the plane. She quickly stood up. "Why am I asleep?"
"Wait, why am I sleeping on top of you?"
"Didn"t sleep well?"
Shen Chengfeng asked.
Xiao Jing shook her head. "Very good. But wasn"t my performance too obvious?"
Shen Chengfeng held her hand and said, "It"s fine. It"s something that has to be announced sooner or later anyway. It doesn"t matter what they know in advance. What"s more, they will pretend not to see it."
"…"
"After you go back, take a bath first. This is a special time, so don"t injure your body."
Shen Chengfeng jumped down from the cabin and instinctively turned around to face her with his hands outstretched.
Clearly, the captain was preparing to carry her off the plane.
"…"
The corner of Xiao Jing"s mouth twitched as she looked at the two rows of comrades waiting for her to gather. She said in a low voice, "Captain, I can come down myself."
Shen Chengfeng took two steps back, "a.s.semble."
Xiao Jing stood back in line. She could feel the pressure coming from all directions as she glanced at her right rear.
Cheng Chen looked at the other direction with a guilty conscience.
"Rest well tonight. Tomorrow, everyone will rest for half a day and resume training in the afternoon."
Shen Chengfeng said.
"Yes, captain"
The night was chilly. The cold wind blew over the treetops. The soft footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Xiao Jing knocked on the door while holding a clean set of clothes.
"Come in."
A deep male voice sounded from within.
Xiao Jing pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing the officer sitting in front of the computer, who was busy dealing with something, she smiled and said, "Captain."
"Go wash it."
Shen Chengfeng stood up and poured himself a gla.s.s of water, then he added a packet of brown sugar water, "Wash it and drink it."
"Yes, captain"
Xiao Jing carried her clothes into the washroom. She stuck her head out from behind the door and couldn"t help but tease, "Captain, why don"t we wash together?"
Shen Chengfeng picked up the doc.u.ments on the table and said, "I want to go out. I will lock the door for you and you can wash it slowly."
When Xiao Jing saw her own captain"s figure leaving in a hurry, she was in a good mood as she closed the door once again.
Shen Chengfeng walked out of the dormitory and shook his head with a smile. He then took out the key and locked the door before walking towards the stairs.
A figure sneakily walked behind him.
Shen Chengfeng stared expressionlessly at the man who had been hiding for a few minutes. He turned around and immediately saw the man"s hiding place.
Yan Mo wasn"t sure if this fellow had discovered him or not, but from the sudden silence in the air, it was highly likely that he had already been exposed.
"Come out, Uncle."
Shen Chengfeng said.
Yan Mo coughed lightly and stood up from the flower bed, "Where"s Xiao Jing?"
"Uncle, I remember that your temporary instructor mission is over."
Shen Chengfeng went straight to the point.
"Yes, it"s over."
The scene was awkward.
Shen Chengfeng turned around and ignored him.
Yan Mo walked up quickly, "Xiao Jing is in your dorm again?"
"Uncle, her whereabouts have nothing to do with you."
"Why doesn"t it matter anymore?"
And that"s my future -- "
"General Shen Chengfeng."
The abrupt voice of the third person rang out from the parking area.
Xiao Man had originally planned to give Xiao Jing the marriage contract she had gotten from a child, but she didn"t expect to see the man she had been thinking about for the past two days the moment she parked the car. He was tall, powerful, and also had a sad aura about him, as if he was the male lead of a TV series with a very deep story.
The two of them turned around at the same time, their gazes landing on the woman who had suddenly appeared.
Xiao Man ran all the way up and saluted, "Sir."
Shen Chengfeng took a glance at the woman who called him by his name, but he had never seen her before.
Xiao Man automatically ignored Shen Chengfeng, who was exuding an aura of abstinence, and turned to face Yan Mo, revealing a smile akin to that of a young woman"s. She did not hear his reply, and called out again, "Sir."
Yan Mo pointed at himself, "Are you talking to me?"
Xiao Man nodded, "Yes, sir."
Shen Chengfeng walked straight to the car park.
"Give me a moment."
Yan Mo wanted to chase after his third nephew, who was about to leave without saying a word.
Shen Chengfeng got into the car and left without any hesitation.
Yan Mo clenched his teeth and said, "That wasteful thing."
"Sir, so you are the most mysterious general in the army. The first time we met, I probably left a bad impression on you. Please don"t mind me, I"m not as savage as you think I am."
Yan Mo touched his forehead and asked, "What are you doing here again?"
"I came to find Xiao Jing. This is the marriage contract that my mother wanted me to give him. Since he doesn"t have the heart to marry me, there"s no use in keeping this marriage contract. I"ll return it to him."
"Can I have a look?"
Yan Mo stretched out his hand.
Xiao Man handed it over, "Who was that leader just now?"
You look angry to me. "
"Don"t worry about that guy, he"s just a despicable sc.u.m."
Yan Mo opened up the marriage contract. It was a rather conventional doc.u.ment, and under it were the names of two parents.
"Sir, where is Xiao Jing now?"
Or will you give it to him for me? "
Yan Mo thought for a moment and nodded, "I"ll leave it to him. It"s getting late, you can go back now."
Xiao Man tugged at the corner of his s.h.i.+rt, thinking, "Sir, I"ve been in a hurry, I haven"t eaten yet. Can you give me two steamed buns?"
If not, one will do. "
Yan Mo looked at her big, sincere eyes and said, "Come with me."
w.a.n.g Hai was cleaning the cafeteria. When he saw Yan Mo, he quickly stood up and saluted, "Sir."
"Are there any more food?"
Yan Mo found a chair and sat down.
w.a.n.g Hai said, "Only some cold steamed buns."
"A cold steamed bun is fine too."
Xiao Man straightened her back obediently.
w.a.n.g Hai personally brought over two plates, "Which military region is this comrade from?"
"538 military region, nice to meet you. My name is Xiao Man."
"Nice to meet you."
w.a.n.g Hai saluted.
"Eat it, quickly go back."
Seeing her choking, Yan Mo poured a cup of water and said, "Eat slower, no one will fight with you for it."
Xiao Man comforted her with a smile, "Why aren"t you eating, sir?"
"I"m not hungry."
A succinct reply.
Xiao Man lowered her head. Indeed, she was worthy of being the coldest and most mysterious general in the myths. The aura of strangers that had dispersed outside made one"s heart beat rapidly.
She dared to sneak a peek in his direction. The shadow of the lamp just happened to land on his face. Her dark eyes seemed not to be lit up by the light. They were a little depressed, a little sad, and an unspeakable pity for me.
Yan Mo was not used to being stared at like that. He frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You look good."
Xiao Man lowered her head and smiled.
Yan Mo coughed lightly, "Men should not use the word "pretty". You should praise me for my imposing, valiant, and imposing character."
Xiao Man nodded seriously, "Yes, you are very handsome and unparalleled. You are the best in the world."
"You have eyes."
Yan Mo was in high spirits. He started laughing out loud with all his might.
w.a.n.g Hai, who was wiping the table, couldn"t help but s.h.i.+ver when he heard the conversation between the two. Gooseb.u.mps appeared all over his body.
The air suddenly quieted.
Yan Mo stood up, "Cough, cough, you can go back now."
Xiao Man hurriedly wiped her mouth, "Sir, can I still come over in two days?"
Yan Mo stopped, "What are you doing here?"
"Nothing."
Xiao Man lowered her head in guilt.
"Let"s go back quickly. 538 is quite a distance away."
Xiao Man stood where she was and looked at the departing figure of her back. She felt a sense of loss for some reason.
The wind was blowing, and the parking area was deserted.
"BOOM!"
Just as Xiao Man opened the car door, a car stopped.
The aide opened the car door and saw the figure of a woman looking at him. The two of them stared at each other for more than ten seconds.
Xiao Man recognized the sign in front of the car. It was the marshal"s car. She hurriedly stood up.
Shen Yitian got out of the car and looked at the female soldier who was holding her head high and saluting.
The aide-de-camp said in a low voice, "To appear here at this time, could it be that the lady is the person our third young master is hiding?"
The night was rather dark, so Shen Yi could not see clearly. He quickly took two steps forward.
Xiao Man took two steps back in panic. What was her superior doing staring at her beautiful face like a tiger with covetous eyes?
"Do you know who I am?"
Have we met somewhere? "
Shen Tianyi asked.
Xiao Man carefully recalled the memory of this face. It was very blurry, but she also felt that it was very familiar.
"I"m Shen One Day."
he reminded her.
Xiao Man came to a realization and hurriedly stood at attention, "Yes, sir."
"It doesn"t matter if you don"t know me, just know my son."
Shen Il probed.
Xiao Man was silent. Do I need to know your son?
Shen Tian smiled, "Shen Chengfeng."
Xiao Man"s eyes lit up, "You are General Shen Chengfeng"s father?"
"Have we met before?"
Only now did Xiao Man remember that she had been to the Shen family with her father two years ago. Of course, as the daughter of a subordinate, she didn"t have the right to meet the leader alone, but she didn"t think that the leader would remember her.
Shen Tian was very satisfied with her performance, and sized her up from top to bottom. "Lady, don"t be afraid, I won"t ask any questions."
"Yes, sir."
"Are you preparing to go back?"
Shen Tian asked again.
"Yes, sir."
"Can"t stay here tonight?"
"…"
I can still live here?
Shen Tianyi gave her a secretive smile. "That"s true. I can"t stay here either. After all, it"s against the rules."
Xiao Man swallowed her saliva, "Sir, are you here to meet General Shen Chengfeng?"
"En, I"ll stop by to take a look. Right, I still don"t know your name. Can you tell me your name?"
"I"m from the 538 military region, my name is Xiao Man."
Almost blurted out.
"What a nice name. How about I send someone to send you back? It won"t be safe for you to send a girl this late at night."
Xiao Man smiled, "Sir, I"m also a soldier."
"Right, right, look at me, I"m an old fool."
Shen Tianyi carefully studied her once more. Indeed, there was a hint of heroism in her expression, as if she was an extraordinary young lady.
"Sir, may I go back?"
Shen Tianyi made way for him, "Pay attention to your safety on the way here. Come here often if you have nothing to do in the future. Don"t worry about the rules or not. This is a special privilege I"ve given you."
Xiao Man"s heart skipped a beat as she hastily straightened her body, "Yes, sir."
"Alright, go."
Shen Tian smiled brightly as he watched the car leave.
The aide stood to the side and sighed softly, "This girl is truly valiant."
"Your looks are not bad, and your status is suitable. We are all soldiers, I am very satisfied with that."
One day, Shen Tian walked towards the camp.
The aide followed closely behind, "Marshal, are we going to see Third Young Master now?"
"By the way, let"s meet up with Xiao Jing. I was injured on the last mission and I didn"t have any good sympathy for her. Tell me about this son of mine. Although dating is important, but your own soldiers are also important."
Shen Yi walked straight to the ordinary dormitory.
"Perhaps Lieutenant Colonel Xiao wasn"t injured at the time, so Third Young Master is very a.s.sured that he will return."
"If he isn"t injured, will Ol "Three directly let him return?"
"This guy must be hiding something from me. I"ll have a look before I can relax. After all, this is all because of me."
One day, Shen Tian walked up the stairs.
The aide stood outside and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
Jiang Xin came out of the washroom with the basin. She thought that the person in front of her dormitory was an ordinary person, but when she approached, she realized his ident.i.ty. She hurriedly straightened her back and said, "Sir."
"Where"s Lieutenant Colonel Xiao Jing?"
the adjutant asked.
Seeing that the door was tightly closed, Jiang Xin said, "He"s probably in the captain"s dorm."
"Alright, I understand."
Shen Tianyi walked towards the stairs
The aide stepped forward again. "What is this Lieutenant Colonel Xiao doing in the Third Young Master"s dormitory?"
"Maybe we can discuss something."
The night was chilly, and Yan Mo was squatting at the corner of the wall, smoking. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw two figures quickly walking over. He stepped on the cigarette to extinguish it and stood up.
Shen Tianyi was instinctively taken aback by the sudden appearance of this person. He asked, "What are you doing hiding here?"
"Smoking? What is brother-in-law doing here so late at night?"
Yan Mo thought for a moment, then said, "Third, he has already left. He should have gone to the military."
Shen Tian finally understood why the young lady had to go back so late at night. "It"s alright, I"ll go up and wait for his return."
"Are you sure you want to go up there?"
Yan Mo asked.
"I shouldn"t have gone up?"
Shen Tianyi also asked.
Yan Mo hesitated, "It"s not that he can"t, it"s just that there"s someone in his room."
"I know, Xiao Jing is inside."
Yan Mo was surprised, "You knew it was Xiao Jing?"
"That"s strange?"
Yan Mo was stunned, "You don"t object?"
"Why should I object to normal interactions?"
Yan Mo clenched his fist and said, "So you already know."
What did he know?
Could it be that he knew about the girl? He smiled and said, "Yes, I know."
Yan Mo let out a long sigh, "I have indeed lost."
This child had never been doted upon by his parents since he was young. His personality was a little extreme, and he was a little stubborn, but he could be considered to know how to prioritize matters and retreat when he knew how to be cautious. He patted Yan Mo"s shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him, but knowing that he should act like a father to comfort him.
"Brother-in-law, don"t say anything else. I understand, I"m leaving."
Yan Mo turned around proudly and pa.s.sed the envelope in his hand to Xiao Jing, "You can give it to Xiao Jing. In the end, I wish them all the best."
