Xiao Ying stood where he was and stared at the departing cars. He gradually loosened his clenched fists.
He lowered his head to look at the few marks left on his palm due to the sunken nails. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He had actually lost control of himself for a moment.
"Sir, it's Young Lord Fifth's call."
The driver stepped forward with his phone in both hands.
"Xiao Ye!"
At the other end of the phone, Xiao Ye felt a shiver run down his spine when he heard his brother's voice. He cautiously called out, "Big brother?"
"Where are you?"
When Xiao Ye heard the quiet voice, he was slightly reassured. He smiled and said, "I am in your office. Is Big Brother going on a mission?"
"Wait there. Half an hour."
"Yes."
Xiao Ye hung up the phone and sat on a chair, doing nothing as he walked around.
About half an hour later, Xiao Ye heard the guard shouting "Sir!"
Xiao Ying pushed the door open and locked it.
Before the smile on Xiao Ye's face could bloom, he heard the sound of the door being locked from the outside.
Xiao Ying took off his military hat, then took off his jacket and hung it on the hanger.
Xiao Ye involuntarily staggered a step back. He felt that something was amiss.
"B-Big Brother!"
He wondered if he should come back another day and talk to him.
Xiao Ying faced the horizontal inscribed board on the wall and said with a long and narrow gaze: "Come here."
Xiao Ye did not move at all. He looked at the closed door, then looked at his big brother, who seemed to be filled with violence. He hesitated and said, "Big brother, it seems like something unhappy has happened?"
"Come here."
Xiao Qing emphasized his tone.
Xiao Ye carefully shifted his feet and forced a smile. He asked, "What does big brother want to say to me?"
"Lie down."
Xiao Qing's fingertips lightly tapped on the table.
Xiao Ye obviously did not understand what he meant.
Xiao Ying glanced at the stunned figure and took out a thin strip of paper that was about one meter long from the plaque.
"Big brother."
Xiao Ye's legs moved back involuntarily, changing the topic, "I suddenly realized that there are important matters in my army, so I'll be going back first."
"Come here."
Just as Xiao Ye turned around, before he could take a step forward, the light in front of him was blocked by the dark clouds. He knew he could not dodge, so he could only twist his neck stiffly.
Xiao Ying raised his hand and pointed at the chair in front of him. His tone was calm as he replied, "Lie down."
Xiao Ye pursed his lips, feeling wronged, "Big brother, just what have I done this time?"
"No reason."
Xiao Ye sat on the chair, tears in his eyes. "I appeal."
"Rejected."
Xiao Ying placed the wooden note on Xiao Ye's face and patted it gently. With a voice neither cold or hot, he said, "Get down."
Just as Xiao Ye turned around, the slender wooden strip landed on his buttocks with a 'pa' sound, hitting him again and again. He was delighted.
At first, Xiao Ye could only hold it in and not shout. Only after a few minutes of being beaten up did he realize that his brother had been merciless this time. The force of the beating was like he was his father's killer, not sparing him the slightest bit of mercy.
"Knowing one's faults but not knowing one's mistakes?"
Xiao Qing asked.
"I don't even know what I did."
Xiao Ye clenched his fists.
"It seems you haven't regretted it yet."
Xiao Niao whipped him one by one.
"Ahhh!"
Xiao Ye couldn't hold his breath and cried out.
"Knowing one's faults but not knowing one's mistakes?"
Xiao Qing asked again.
"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong."
Xiao Ye nodded, feeling wronged.
"Since I know that I made a mistake, I have to properly atone for my mistakes. A beating is considered light."
With that, Xiao Qing gave it another vicious slap.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
Xiao Ye could not help but grab Xiao Qian's hand. He stood up and said with his head held high, "Big brother, I am already an adult. Why are you still teaching me this way to teach this little brat a lesson?"
"Even if I made a mistake, you still have to give me a chance to correct it. What's more, I don't even know what mistake I've made."
"Pah!"
Xiao Ying immediately threw the wooden stick on the ground and said, "Alright, I won't use this kind of method to play with children."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ye felt a sense of danger that could destroy the world. He quickly picked up the wooden strip, handed it over with both hands, and sincerely said, "Big brother, brother is father. I am lying on the ground. You slowly fight, rest for a while before fighting."
Xiao Ying narrowed his eyes and threw the wooden stick onto the table. He then turned around and faced Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye lay on the stool and waited for a while. Before waiting for his big brother's punishment, he lifted his head and looked at the man's silent back. He asked, "Did big brother suffer any provocation?"
"I'll give you one last chance. Get Little Four back from 501."
After a while, the man's deep voice echoed up and down the office.
Xiao Ye's heart skipped a beat, could it be that his elder brother suffered some sort of provocation from Shen Yan?
As he thought about that boring fellow, who knows what sort of outrageous things he would do. Could it be that he was bored enough to run up to his big brother and hug his little Four Seasons' love!
"Isn't Fourth Brother doing well in the Iron Eagle Squadron?"
"I heard that this time, she even went on a solo mission. This is a huge improvement."
Xiao Ye said cautiously.
Xiao Ying glanced at him expressionlessly. He slammed his hands on the table and the air in the office seemed to have cooled down a few degrees.
Xiao Ye quickly retracted his superfluous words and laughed, "I will quickly submit the request for transfer, regardless of whether Shen Yan released him or not, I will still snatch fourth brother back."
The entire office quieted down as if there was no one in the room.
Xiao Ye did not know what his big brother was thinking, he sneaked a peek at his face that did not show any emotion, packed his things up and ran out of the office in quick steps.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."
Xiao Ye breathed in the fresh air outside the door, his taut nerves slowly relaxed. He rubbed his nearly cracked thigh, and could not help but tighten his eyebrows.
He seemed to have overlooked something. He had schemed to send Xiao Jing to Shen Chengfeng. They were the ones who were in love, but what about himself?
Facing the sullen Xiao Ying, the damn Xiao Hong, and the jerk Xiao Zheng, he finally realized that his life in the future would probably be reduced to a pile of slag in the depths of the fire.
"Dong, dong, dong."
Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ye quickened his pace. He felt that it was necessary to reverse the situation while there was still room for manoeuvre.
As the SUV drove quietly into the camp, the guard straightened up and saluted.
Just as Xiao Jing got off the passenger seat, Lin Qi walked towards her.
"Second Lieutenant Xiao."
Lin Qi knocked on Xiao Jing's shoulder with a smile on his face and said, "We've all heard that you perfectly completed the mission."
Xiao Jing received Lin Qi's arm attack and replied, "This is only a small quest."
"Regardless of the size of the mission, it all depends on whether or not you can complete it."
"Alright, it's already very late. Let's go back and rest early. We'll gather at 5 tomorrow."
Shen Chengfeng closed the driver's door and walked straight to his dorm building as usual.
Lin Qi looked around and after making sure no one was paying attention to them, he carefully took out a steamed bun from his pocket.
When Xiao Jing saw the steamed buns in front of her, she couldn't help but ask, "Does Lin Qi think that I haven't eaten yet?"
"You guys should be hungry after rushing back for the night. Eat something before going to bed."
Lin Qi didn't wait for him to agree. He stubbornly stuffed the steamed buns into Xiao Jing's hands, then waved his hand at her and ran away.
He looked like a young man in love, shy and eager.
Xiao Jing stuffed the steamed buns back into her pocket, humming a small tune as she walked into the dormitory.
The lights on the corridor were dim, so she opened the door without a care. Suddenly, a familiar feeling burst out from her body, and her pupils gradually dilated in the dark night. She touched her pants with disbelief, then opened her hands and let out a smear of bright red light.
It's over!
Crab ate too much!
She stiffly moved her feet and rummaged through the room. Only then did she realize that she had run out of items. Her mother did not know that she had left the 525th group, so what should she do?
What should ahe do?
Xiao Jing was squatting on the ground, her hands hugging her knees. Apart from the pain in her stomach, she also realized that this time, her relatives were really threatening her. Sure enough, she couldn't be greedy.
"Bam, bam, bam."
At midnight in the camp, the sound of the engine being turned on was especially startling.
Shen Chengfeng pushed open the window and looked at the SUV with its lights on. His face sank.
Xiao Jing stepped on the gas pedal and the car sped off. She brushed past the wall and crashed into the rearview mirror. A large dent appeared in the front of the car, but she did not hesitate and continued driving.
She didn't know if this was a violation of the rules, but she knew that if she didn't get some necessities right away, she'd have to pack up and roll out of the Ironhawk.
"Bam, bam, bam."
She honked the horn.
When the guard saw that it was the officer's personal car, he hurriedly let her go.
When the SUV left the camp, it disappeared with a sizzling sound like a runaway horse.
Xiao Ye personally drove the car into the army highway and suddenly stepped on the brakes. He turned around and glanced at the car that passed by him. If he was not mistaken, what was sitting in the car was what he wanted to see.
Xiao Jing was dressed in ordinary casual clothes and wearing a veil. She looked like a bad person who harboured malicious intentions.
She stood in front of the special equipment section, not caring about any small or large items. She hugged her arm and rushed to the cashier counter, "Pay up."
"What are you buying?"
A familiar voice came from behind Xiao Jing. Suddenly, she felt that not only was her heart clenched, but even her breath was starting to thin. The entire space was being squeezed out bit by bit, and she was about to die.
Xiao Jing hurriedly covered her own things with her hands. Her eyes constantly gazed at the ceiling, as if changing the topic, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes, a bottle of mineral water in his hand, and handed it over, "Pay up."
Xiao Jing guiltily handed the bottle of water to the cashier. She turned around and used her body to cover the sight behind her.
The space in the minimart was blocked, so Xiao Ye walked out of the store and waited quietly.
Xiao Jing stuffed the purchased items into her pocket and continued to leave this embarrassing scene with her own veil.
"Aren't you supposed to be in the army at this time?"
"Why did you sneak out so easily?"
Xiao Ye crossed his arms around his chest and waited patiently for the other party to reply.
Xiao Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Her hand was in her pocket as she grabbed onto the thin bag. Finally, she handed it over and said, "I'm hungry. I want to buy something to hide inside."
Xiao Ye lowered his head to look at the bread in his hand. He took a sip from his water bottle and coldly said, "You broke the military rule and sneaked out just for these few bags of bread?"
"What else?"
What do you think I'm going to do when I come out? "
Xiao Jing turned around and walked towards the SUV.
The sky rumbled, a flash of light broke through the sky, and a loud clang resounded in the city.
Xiao Jing looked up at the sky. There was no need for her to be struck by lightning just because she had said a lie, right?
Heh heh, the heavens sure know how to joke.
Xiao Jing buckled her seat belt, and through the rearview mirror carefully observed the unmoving Xiao Ye. She wasn't sure if the item she bought would be discovered, but even if it was, he wouldn't suspect anything. After all, she had been perfectly camouflaged for so many years, they wouldn't doubt anything.
Xiao Ye stood where he was, shaking his head, unsure of whether he should laugh or cry.
As the SUV pulled onto the main road, a heavy rain began to fall from the sky. Drops of rain fell onto the windshield. Xiao Jing was moving very slowly, almost to the point where she could no longer see the road clearly.
It was raining cats and dogs, and the night was dark. Xiao Jing sneaked back to the dorm. The moment she closed the door, her anxious heart slowly returned to its original position.
"Injured?"
The man's voice was like lightning and thunder as it rumbled in Xiao Jing's mind.
"Pah!"
The lights in the room were ignited.
Xiao Jing reflexively closed her eyes. After a moment, she got used to the sudden illumination and carefully opened her eyes.
In the front chair, the man sat upright.
Shen Chengfeng stood up and walked towards Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing's body instinctively moved backwards, and in the end, she was unable to retreat as she blocked the wall. Her hand tightly gripped onto her pants. What should she do?
Was she exposed just like that?
What punishment would she face if exposed?
Repatriation?
Or just leave the army?
Or was she severely criticized by the higher-ups?
No, this was all light. Her identity was a little awkward. If she was discovered, she would be executed immediately!
She had desecrated the soldiers, desecrated the military might, desecrated the army spirit. She was a sinner.
Shen Chengfeng, who was standing beside Xiao Jing, glanced at the taut figure and softened his tone, "You should report the situation to me if you are injured instead of being so secretive. You are allowed to rest for half a day tomorrow."
Xiao Jing didn't understand the meaning behind his words, but when she lowered her head and saw the few drops of blood on the ground, she awkwardly swallowed her saliva.
Could it be that the captain misunderstood that she had just been injured while on a mission?
"There's a infirmary here, and the medics here are the best in the country. You don't need to sneak out to buy medicine yourself."
"Yes, captain"
"In the future, if you leave the camp without permission, you will be dealt with according to the military law, without exception!"
"Yes, captain"
"I'm not saying that. You've made the same mistake many times."
"Yes, captain"
"After resting well, two thousand word review, missing one word, military punishment, three hundred push-ups."
Xiao Jing felt that she could directly give her the task of push-ups.
Shen Chengfeng glanced at the other party and saw him bowing his head in silence. He then continued, "Did you hear that?"
"Yes, captain"
Xiao Jing straightened her body and faced the officer. Her voice was loud and clear.
The room was suddenly silent, and their eyes met.
"That bottle of medicine is pretty effective. Wipe it yourself."
With that, Shen Chengfeng walked out of the dorm with a stiff face.
Xiao Jing stuck her head into her small table. Sure enough, there was a small box quietly placed on the table.
"Pfft."
Xiao Jing couldn't help but laugh as she covered her mouth. She walked to the table and picked up the small box.
Shen Chengfeng stood outside the room and stared solemnly at the closed door. His hand without gloves was nowhere to rest. He tried to touch his forehead. Why did he feel like it was hot, hot and that something was wrong?
Could it be that he could also corrupt her?
He quickly put down his hand and strode across the corridor.
Shen Chengfeng dived into the rain. The moment the icy cold water touched his skin, it started to boil. That was why the officers on duty saw such a strange scene from afar.
A figure, a figure shrouded in white smoke, and a figure that seemed to have been ignited. It was even more breathtaking than if it had seen a ghost.
They felt that they should sound the alarm and alert the entire army!
