As the sun began to set, the speeding car suddenly slowed down.
Shen Chengfeng parked his car in front of a restaurant and undid his seat belt, "Eat something first."
Xiao Jing raised her head and looked at the seafood stall at her side. She gulped and impatiently opened the car door. She was the first to enter the restaurant and respectfully helped him pull out the chair.
Shen Chengfeng ignored Xiao Jing's hospitality and casually pulled out a chair and sat opposite him.
Xiao Jing silently sat down with a smile and placed her hands on her chin. Her eyes were fixated on the fish on the menu. Shrimp, crab, and shell.
"Two bowls of Egg-Fried Rice."
A determined and serious voice sounded from the other side.
Xiao Jing wasn't the only one who didn't react when she heard this. Even the waiter who was about to pour the tea didn't react.
Shen Chengfeng raised his eyes and his gaze was deep and sharp. He repeated, "Two bowls of Egg-Fried Rice."
The waiter's hand shook, and he immediately spilled the tea.
Xiao Jing silently closed the menu. She couldn't help but silently curse in her heart Look at how petty you are. It's all thanks to you being the Empire's general, stingy general.
Shen Chengfeng took a sip from his teacup and turned a blind eye to the discussions around him.
"Captain, will we be chased out like this?"
Xiao Jing whispered, "I think I saw the fire burning in the boss's eyes."
Shen Chengfeng scanned through the crowd one by one and the people who were mumbling just now lowered their heads obediently. Just like the new recruits he trained, at that moment, no one dared to rashly disrespect his dignity as a general.
Xiao Jing gently opened a small crack on the menu and pointed at the large steamed crab. Her two fingers hooked together like they were fighting. She said, "Now is the time to eat crabs."
"Not enough money."
Shen Chengfeng said those four words quietly.
"No money?"
"Do I look like the kind of person who takes money out?"
Xiao Jing stared at him with resentment in her eyes. She did not care about the difference in status between the two of them, and could not wait to finish him off with her own eye blade.
"You want to eat crabs?" Shen Chengfeng asked.
"Yes, yes," Xiao Jing nodded as though she was playing with garlic.
Shen Chengfeng picked up the cup with one hand and looked at the ripples on the cup, "As a soldier, you must have the most basic control and resist all temptations, including good food."
"Captain, I think you're playing with me."
"I'm just telling you, there are too many restrictions on our identities, including eating and sleeping."
Xiao Jing pursed her lips and picked up the teacup. She turned her head to the side and no longer looked at her own captain.
She suddenly felt that Captain Lian Qing, who had been left behind in the 525th Regiment, truly loved her.
The waitress came over with two plates of Egg-Fried Rice that were shining with golden light. She smiled and said, "Please enjoy your meal."
Xiao Jing picked up the spoon and flipped through the rice grains. It was indeed a plate of Egg-Fried Rice. Other than the rice, it was only two or three pieces of egg froth the size of nails.
"Eat."
Shen Chengfeng took a sip of water, apparently, he knew that the fried rice was pretty tough.
Outside the shop, the windows of a car slowly rose up.
"Sir, may we go?" The driver asked cautiously.
Xiao Yu expressionlessly looked at the SUV military vehicles parked in the parking spot. A flame seemed to be burning in the depths of his eyes. His hand silently clenched into a fist.
The chauffeur felt the malevolence in the eyes behind him, and hurriedly retracted his hand, preparing to blurt out his question once more.
After an unknown period of time, when the driver's body was stiff to the point of numbness, the car flashed and the rear door was opened.
Xiao Yu was wearing a military uniform and walked straight into the stall.
"Comrade military and military officers."
When the owner saw Xiao Yu enter the shop, he hurriedly ran over from the cashier counter.
Xiao Yu ignored the boss's nodding and bowing, and walked straight towards the huge round table.
With her back facing the door, Xiao Jing didn't understand what was going on with the suddenly quiet atmosphere. She raised her head to look at her captain, only to see the calm expression in his eyes suddenly rise up like a storm.
Shen Chengfeng was still seated but Xiao Yu was standing still. Their gazes met and the surroundings seemed to have been frozen in an instant.
"Is there anything wrong with the officer?" The boss took the risk and asked.
Xiao Yu said bluntly, "Serve each and every one of the famous dishes in the shop."
The boss's heart skipped a beat. Could this be a temporary check on their quality?
When Xiao Jing heard the familiar voice, she hurriedly turned her head and saw her big brother wearing a military uniform. Her face was stern, and she quickly stood up.
Xiao Yu pulled up a chair and sat to the side. His gaze landed on the plate of Egg-Fried Rice that was placed in front of the two of them. He said, "You want to eat this?"
Xiao Jing couldn't figure out why her big brother was here, so she nodded and replied, "Yes."
"Sit down. Why are you standing like this? Those who don't know this think I'm after you."
"Even though im your elder brother, I can be considered your parent, and I won't criticize you for sneaking a meal with your own captain."
Xiao Jing awkwardly sat on the chair. She raised her head and glanced at the two of them, who were flirting with each other. This feeling was as if she was a huge lamp with a million volts lit up between them. It seemed a little redundant.
"What kind of status does General Xiao have? Isn't it a little condescending to come to this kind of small shop?" Shen Chengfeng looked at the other party and did not even blink.
"So is Master Shen San. A distinguished general of the empire eats a bowl of Egg-Fried Rice. If word of this were to spread, it would probably cause people to think that our military treatment is too harsh." Xiao Yu said coldly.
Xiao Jing silently gripped her spoon tightly, trying her best to reduce her sense of existence.
Why did she have a feeling that there was something unspeakable between her eldest brother and the captain? That tit-for-tat aura seemed to be hiding something that was well understood.
"Is it good?" Xiao Yu lightly pushed the cup. His voice was colder than it was a moment ago, and at this moment it was a little gentler.
Xiao Jing nodded instinctively, "Delicious."
"Don't be in a hurry to eat, there will be many delicious foods later." Xiao Yu continued.
Xiao Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a guilty conscience. She silently felt a scorching gaze staring at her from above her head. She carefully raised her head, and sure enough, her own captain's beautiful phoenix eyes instantly surrounded her like a hail of bullets.
"Don't forget your identity." Shen Chengfeng lowered his voice while staring at Xiao Jing. This was a clear threat.
Xiao Yu said "Master Shen San's words are incorrect. A good farmland and a thousand acres of land can only sleep for three feet at night. They are extremely wealthy and can only eat three meals a day. We have to fill our stomachs first. "
"The meaning of food is only to cover one's stomach, and the second is to taste. General Xiao is also a person who leads the army to fight. Do you need me to explain this clearly?"
"Right now, we are only having a casual meal. We don't need to use the military's old-fashioned rules to restrain ourselves."
Shen Chengfeng took a glance at the other party and said, "General Xiao, have you forgotten that you are currently wearing a military uniform?"
Xiao Yu took off his military cap and undid his military uniform one by one. After folding them, he placed them neatly on the corner of the table. He turned his head and his four eyes met intensely once again as he said: "My current identity is just an ordinary staff member."
"General Xiao, who has always disciplined himself, has broadened my horizons today."
Shen Chengfeng put down his spoon. His face was already paralyzed and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
Xiao Jing seemed to smell the smoke. She couldn't understand why her captain and brother would suddenly start a fire. Could this be the unspeakable daily routine between the officers?
Sure enough, men were also indecisive. They were ready to show off their muscles whenever there was a disagreement.
"Comrade Officer, this is the signature dish of our shop, the crabs that were just fished out from the lake. Have a taste."
The shop owner put down the plate with a smile.
"Little Four, have a taste."
Xiao Yu silently pushed the plate in front of Xiao Jing.
"We're full." Shen Chengfeng clasped his hands in front of him and stared at Xiao Jing, who was about to reach out to him.
Xiao Jing was in a dilemma. Was she eating or not eating?
Xiao Yu picked up a crab and placed it in Xiao Jing's bowl. "Eat it."
"Soldiers have strict rules on how they eat their meals each day. You should know what kind of punishment they will receive if they break the rules."
Shen Chengfeng asked immediately.
Xiao Jing raised her head and looked at the two eyes that were staring at her. She silently raised her hand. Should she eat or not?
"General Shen's words are too serious. Right now, we are outside the military camp and will not be subject to any military orders." Seeing that Xiao Jing didn't move, Xiao Yu decided to peel off the crab legs.
"Captain, I'll eat one."
With that said, Xiao Jing did not wait for Shen Chengfeng's reply. She bit on the crab leg that Xiao Yu handed over.
Shen Chengfeng's eyes were glued to the little soldier who was happily eating his meal. He pushed his chair away and walked out of the restaurant.
Xiao Yu pushed a plate of crabs in front of Xiao Jing and gently rubbed her head, saying, "Eat it."
Xiao Jing knew that eating one plate would be punished, and eating one plate would also be punished. In any case, she would be punished anyway, so she ate the whole plate in one go.
Xiao Yu also walked out of the restaurant. He looked at the beautiful scenery in the horizon and said coldly, "Since when did Master Shen Chengfeng care so much about an ordinary little soldier?"
"In my eyes, he's very special."
Xiao Yu couldn't help but clench his fists, "What? Special technique?"
"His body is very special."
Xiao Yu clenched his fists tightly. He could almost feel the pain of his nails digging into his flesh. He asked again, "Why is it special?"
Shen Chengfeng turned to the side and their eyes met. He asked, "General Xiao, do you not know?"
"Yes, I know very well."
"Since General Xiao is aware of this, you should know how important he is to me."
Xiao Yu couldn't bear it any longer and smashed his fist over.
Shen Chengfeng seemed to have expected this and he dodged to the back, successfully avoiding Xiao Yu's vicious punch.
"I advise you to give up on this idea. Our Xiao family is not an ordinary family. I'm afraid the Shen family doesn't have the ability to take people away from our family." Xiao Yu's expression darkened, veins popping out on his fist.
Shen Chengfeng lightly flicked away the dust on his body and said, "But he is now my soldier and your Xiao Clan does not have the ability to take him away from me."
"Then I'd like to try." Xiao Yu turned around and coldly glanced at the man wrapped in rice dumplings. He said once again, "General Shen needs to think twice before doing anything. He is just an ordinary person. There is no need for you to blame our Xiao family because of him."
"Yes, although he is an ordinary person, his body is not an ordinary person's body."
Xiao Yu was furious as he punched again.
Shen Chengfeng raised his hand to block and grabbed onto the other party's fist.
The setting sun was like fire. When it landed on the two of them, there was an indescribable feeling of harmony and beauty to it.
The crab in Xiao Jing's hand lost its gravity and fell to the ground with a clang.
The fiery red sky seemed to have been scorched by a huge fire. The entire sky cracked open, revealing a bright red ravine. The two of them stood in the sunset and looked at each other.
She suddenly understood why her captain and brother were so angry.
It was all because of this huge lightbulb.
"If you dare to speak nonsense again, don't blame me for not caring about my identity and fighting you to the death here."
Xiao Yu clenched his teeth as he spoke.
"General Xiao Yu, who always showed off his strength, never thought that he would get so angry from embarrassment. It seems that I underestimated Xiao Jing's position in your heart."
"If you dare to touch her, I won't rest until you die!" Xiao Yu pushed him away. His gaze was like a sword that spat poison, wishing for nothing more than to pierce his opponent's body.
"Come here."
Shen Chengfeng looked at Xiao Jing a few meters away and gave her an order.
Xiao Jing wiped her hands. After hesitating for a moment, she still ran over.
Shen Chengfeng took off his gloves and under the gorgeous sunset, he pinched Xiao Jing's cheeks without saying a word.
Shen Chengfeng looked at Xiao Yu and said seriously, "Not only did I move, I even touched it."
"Let him go!" Anyone could see Xiao Yu anger at first glance.
"General Xiao, can't you see that there's something strange going on?"
Shen Chengfeng changed to another face and tried to pinch him again.
"Let him go!" Xiao Yu waved his fist like rain.
Shen Chengfeng raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Yu's hand.
As soon as the gloved hand came into contact with Xiao Yu's skin, it left behind a burn mark.
He looked at his hand and then looked at Xiao Jing's face. Shen Chengfeng's touch had left a clear wound on his hand, but Xiao Jing, on the other hand, had only a little blush on her face. Her face was still red.
"He's immune to me. This is very important to me. I hope that General Xiao can let go of his personal grudge."
Shen Chengfeng did not intend to continue proving anything and put the gloves back on.
Xiao Yu wanted to say something but hesitated. He knew that Xiao Jing was special, but he didn't expect her to be immune to a monster like Shen Chengfeng.
Xiao Jing rubbed her cheeks, her eyes full of resentment as she stared at her own captain. She was so angry, but what should she do? Still smiled at him.?
"Could it be that you want to use her for experiments?" Xiao Yu pulled Xiao Jing behind him without leaving a trace.
Shen Chengfeng did not reply. Why did he keep Xiao Jing around?
He was an honest and upright soldier, so it was impossible for him to use Xiao Jing to study him like a little white mouse.
Was he a talent? There were a lot of people like this in the army, but why did he have to keep such a reckless and even vile fellow?
"He is suitable for the Iron Eagle."
Shen Chengfeng stared straight at the handsome face, because after what he did just now, his face was covered in waves of red frost.
Beautiful! Shen Chengfeng was shocked. He felt as though a hole had been punched in his head and he felt like his soldier.
'Beautiful?' Yes, Xiao Jing is very cute. When his mouth is full, when he is grumbling to himself, when he is earnestly training and he sweat, when he completes his quest, and he is asking for compliments.
Very cute!
"I will allow him to remain in the Iron Eagle, but I will not allow you to treat him with such vile intentions." Xiao Yu said seriously.
"Dirty thoughts?"
Shen Chengfeng said those words with interest.
"He is a human being, not a guinea pig on your second brother's experiment table. If I know that your Chen family does experiments with him, don't blame our Xiao family for not taking our relationship into account."
"I'm not that stupid enough to experiment with my own army." Shen Chengfeng turned around, opened the car door and said to the motionless Xiao Jing, "Get in."
Xiao Jing was about to get into the car when her wrist was grabbed by someone. She lowered her head in confusion as she stared at the hand that was being held tightly by her big brother.
Xiao Yu said seriously, "In the future, be more wary of him. This person has ill intentions towards you."
"…"
Xiao Jing's heart skipped a beat. Why did she feel that there was something wrong with the usage of this word?
