“Ah Choo.” Xiao Ye, who was far away in City B, couldn’t help but sneeze. He looked up at the central air conditioner above his head.

The adjutant next to Xiao Ye paid attention to the officer’s movements, and asked softly, “Do you need me to turn up the temperature?”

Xiao Ye waved his hand and continued to read the document.

“Ding…” A phone’s ringtone echoed abruptly in the quiet space.

Xiao Ye glanced at the number above indifferently, with an indescribable smile on his lips, he pressed answer directly, and said, “Mr. Shen is quite free recently, always looking for opportunities to chat with me.”

“I also feel that your Xiao family has been quite busy recently, and people from your family come to me every now and then. General Xiao Yu two days ago, and General Xiao Zheng today, all for the fourth son of the Xiao family, a second lieutenant, whom I had never heard of.”

Xiao Ye leaned back on the chair, tapped the table with his fingertips lightly, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all, instead his smile was full of joy, as he said: “I didn’t expect that my special fourth brother is very popular. Yes.”

“This is beyond my expectation. General Xiao Zheng even asked me for someone just now, but Second Lieutenant Xiao Jing was recommended to me by Xiao Ye, and I should cherish such a talent both emotionally and rationally. What’s more, this person is immune to me and is very important to me, so I have to keep him by my side and study him carefully.”

“…”

Xiao Ye suddenly felt that he was betrayed. Inexplicably, he felt a chill on his back.

“Sir, what’s the matter with you?” The adjutant asked hastily when he saw that he was holding up his mobile phone but remained silent.

Xiao Ye turned off the phone with one hand, stood up from the chair with a bang, grabbed the car keys beside the table, and said, “No matter who comes for me later, you should say that I am on a mission. As for the return date, it is yet to be determined.”

Before the words in the adjutant’s mouth could be asked out, he saw that his general had already passed by like a gust of wind, without a trace.

Xiao Ye closed the car door and stepped on the gas pedal. Just as the car drove out of the camp, a missile fell from the sky and hit the high-speed off-road vehicle.

“Bang!” The off-road vehicle was scrapped on the side of the road, and white smoke billowed.

“Be on alert, there are enemy troops invading.” The alarm sounded in the camp, and missile vehicles broke through the guards one after another.

Xiao Ye kicked the car door and looked at the surface-to-air missile loading vehicle that surrounded him three floors inside and three floors outside, dumbfounded. Was it necessary to play so big?

….

In the hospital, the humidifier was working quietly.

Xiao Jing opened her eyes sleepily, and subconsciously felt that there was someone staring at her beautiful face.

Instinctively, she looked towards her right, only to see a dark and stormy night, surrounded by tranquility, with a pair of shining, golden eyes staring at her.

Those eyes were filled with the words “other plans”.

“Do you know why I appeared here?” The man’s low voice sounded as sinister as a midnight ghost.

Xiao Jing suddenly sat up from the hospital bed, but because the movement was too violent, the wound was stretched and ached.

Shen Chengfeng put down his water glass and stood up. In Xiao Jing’s eyes, his height of 1.9 meters was like a high mountain, completely blocking her sight.

“Xiao Zheng came to my site today and discussed something with me. I think I need to think carefully about where you are going next.” Shen Chengfeng stared at her, his pupils touched his and a trace of hesitation flashed by, but it was quickly covered up.

This person was indeed very interesting.

Although Xiao Jing said that she was neither sad nor happy, her heart was like a galloping horse, what should she do? What should she do if she had met such a pig teammate? Would the third brother of her family dismantle her own platform and let the big rice dumpling in front of her throw her back to the 525 regiment?

According to Xiao Zheng’s upright personality, it was a certainty that he would have asked Shen Chengfeng to deport her.

“You must be guessing what he would have said to me, aren’t you?” Shen Chengfeng said, “With your grades, let alone my Tie Ying, you are not qualified even for the junior S Special Forces.”

“Sir, if you don’t carve a jade, you can’t make it into a tool. How do you know that my jade is not worth carving?” Xiao Jing asked back.

“You imply that you have the ability to enter my army?” Shen Chengfeng looked down, without hesitation, his eyes fell on her stump.

Xiao Jing saw the word derision in his eyes.

“So I’ll give you a chance. Remember, you only have one chance. I don’t like to teach stupid people how to do things.” Shen Chengfeng leaned over in front of her, and the distance between the two was only a punch away.

Xiao Jing couldn’t stretch her body and leaned back. If it wasn’t for the male gender stated on her ID card, she would have been afraid that this good-looking man with six-pack abs wanted to give her a kiss.

“Are you afraid?” Shen Chengfeng raised her chin and smacked his lips, “I really don’t know how your Xiao family cultivated you. According to the Xiao family’s resources, even that idiot Xiao Ye can be trained to become a general, but you are only a second lieutenant, which makes me quite curious.”

Xiao Jing inexplicably had an ominous feeling in her heart.    

“Could it be true that as Xiao Ye said, you have some hidden disease in your body that you cannot tell?”

“What do you say? Isn’t this an insult to your own IQ?” Xiao Jing looked at him without fear.

“However, what Xiao Ye said is correct, you are indeed special.” Shen Chengfeng stood up straight, took off his gloves, and under the light, his hands were so pale that it was as if they had never been exposed to sunlight.

Xiao Jing stared at his hands in a daze, thinking carefully and feeling terrified, she silently felt a chill.

The next moment, Shen Chengfeng pinched Xiao Jing’s face, as if he had used some strength, and asked again: “How does it feel?”

“…” I don’t know if I should say mmp or not, what does it feel like to be pinched and asked like this by your uncle? Do you old man still want me to say that I feel very refreshed, as drunk as if I drank a century-old wine? You bring your face closer and let me pinch it?

“You’re not dead!” Shen Chengfeng said again.

“…”

Shen Chengfeng let go of his hand and slapped the head of the bed with a slap, and suddenly, smoke started lingering.

“As expected, it’s still like this.” Shen Chengfeng seemed to be talking to himself, “Xiao Ye is right, you are really special, the only one who has not been turned into a handful of ashes because of my contact.”
