As the sun set, the high-speed car suddenly slowed down.
Shen Chengfeng parked in front of a restaurant, unbuckled his seat belt, and said, “Eat something first.”
Xiao Jing looked up at the seafood stall beside her, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, couldn’t wait to open the door, and go in first. In the restaurant, she respectfully pulled out a chair for him.
Shen Chengfeng ignored Xiao Jing’s attentiveness, casually pulled out a chair and sat across from her.
Xiao Jing sat down with a smile and said nothing, resting her hands on her chin, looking straight at the dazzling array of fish, shrimps, crabs, and shells on the menu.
“Two bowls of egg fried rice.” A decisive and serious voice sounded from the other side.
As soon as these words came out, not only Xiao Jing couldn’t react, but even the waiter who was about to pour tea couldn’t react.
Shen Chengfeng raised his eyes, his eyes deep and sharp. He repeated again, “Two bowls of egg fried rice.”
“Boom.” The waiter’s hand shook and he spilled the tea.
Xiao Jing closed the menu silently and couldn’t help but curse in her heart: Look at you, you are so petty, but you are still a general of the empire, a stingy general.
Shen Chengfeng picked up the tea cup and took a sip without taking it seriously, completely turning a blind eye to the pointed looks around him.
“Captain, are we going to be kicked out like this?” Xiao Jing whispered, “I seem to see the burning fire in the boss’s eyes.”
Shen Chengfeng looked over one by one, and everyone who was muttering in a low voice just now noticed him. Then they bowed their heads politely, just like the recruits he trained. At that moment, no one dared to rashly desecrate his dignity as a general.
Xiao Jing gently opened a small gap in the menu, pointed at the steamed crab on it, and hooked her two fingers back and forth as if in a fight. She said, “Now is the time to eat crabs.”
“The funds are insufficient.” Shen Chengfeng said four words quietly.
“No money?”
“Do I look like the kind of person who brings money with me when I go out?”
Xiao Jing stared at him with resentment in her eyes, not caring about the identity gap between the two, and looked like she wanted to kill the other person with her own eyes.
“Want to eat crabs?” Shen Chengfeng asked.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” Xiao Jing nodded like pounding garlic.
Shen Chengfeng picked up the cup with one hand, looked at the ripples in the cup, and said: “As a soldier, you must have the most basic restraint and resist all temptations, including delicious food.”
“…”
“Captain, I think you’re kidding me.”
“I’m just telling you that our identities have too many restrictions, including eating and sleeping.”
Xiao Jing puffed her lips, picked up the tea cup, and turned her head away from her captain. She suddenly felt that the forgotten Captain Lian Qing of the 525th Regiment truly loved her.
The waiter came over with two large plates of golden fried egg fried rice and said with a smile: “Please eat it slowly.”
Xiao Jing picked up the spoon and turned over the rice. It was indeed a genuine plate of egg fried rice, except for the rice with a fingernail-sized piece of scrambled egg foam.
“Eat.” Shen Chengfeng took a sip of water, obviously knowing that the fried rice was a bit perfunctory.
Outside the store, the window of a car slowly rose.
“Sir, are you ready to go?” The driver asked cautiously from the driving seat.
Xiao Yu looked at the off-road vehicle parked in the parking space expressionlessly, a flame seemingly filling the depths of his eyes, and his hands silently clenched into fists.
The driver felt the sinister look behind him and hurriedly retracted the question he was about to blurt out again.
He didn’t know how long it took, but when the driver’s body was so stiff that he was almost numb, the car swayed and the rear door was opened.
Xiao Yu wore a military uniform and walked into this food stall without looking sideways.
“Comrade, military officer.” When the boss saw Xiao Yu entering the store, he hurriedly ran over from behind the counter.
Xiao Yu, however, ignored the boss’s nod and bow, and walked straight to the big round table.
Xiao Jing had her back turned to the store door and didn’t understand what the sudden quiet atmosphere was about. She looked up at her captain and saw that the look in his eyes suddenly turned from calm to violent storm. Where if even a wave turned over, Xiao Jing felt that she would capsize.
Shen Chengfeng was still sitting, but Xiao Yu stood motionless, their eyes meeting each other, and everything around them seemed to be frozen for an instant.
“Comrade officer, do you think something is wrong?” the boss asked desperately.
Xiao Yu said bluntly: “Serve one portion of every signature dish in the store.”
The boss’s heart froze. Could this be a temporary inspection of their quality?
When Xiao Jing heard a familiar voice, she hurriedly turned around and looked at her elder brother, who was wearing a military uniform and had a serious look on his face. So, she quickly stood up and stood in a military posture.
Xiao Yu pulled out a chair and sat on one side. His eyes fell on the large plate of egg fried rice in front of the two of them and said, “Just eat this?”
Xiao Jing was unsure of the purpose of her eldest brother’s appearance here, so she nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“Sit down, what are you doing standing like this? People who don’t know about it would think I’m here to catch you. Although the eldest brother is not your father, I can still be regarded as your parent, but I won’t accuse you because you secretly came to have a meal with your captain.”
“…” Xiao Jing sat awkwardly on the chair, raised her head and glanced at the commander and her brother who were sitting eye-to-eye with each other. This feeling, it was as if she was a big light bulb with tens of millions of volts shining between the two of them, which seemed a bit redundant.
“With General Xiao Yu’s status, it’s a bit condescending to come to such a small shop.” Shen Chengfeng looked at the other party without even blinking.
“It’s not like Mr. Shen, a dignified imperial general, who just eats a bowl of egg fried rice. If word of this spreads out, I’m afraid people will think that our soldiers are treated too harshly.” Xiao Yu said coldly.
Xiao Jing silently clenched the spoon, minimizing her presence as much as possible.
Why did she have a feeling that there was some unexplainable relationship between her eldest brother and the captain? There seemed to be some sympathy hidden in the tit-for-tat momentum.
“Is it delicious?” Xiao Yu gently pushed the water glass, his voice a little softer than the colder one a moment ago.
Xiao Jing nodded instinctively, “It’s delicious.”
“Don’t rush to eat it yet, there will be a lot of delicious food later.” Xiao Yu continued.
Xiao Jing swallowed guiltily, silently feeling that there seemed to be a scorching gaze above her head staring at her eagerly. She raised her head cautiously, and sure enough, her captain’s beautiful red phoenix eyes seemed to be filled with bullets surrounding her.
“Don’t forget your identity.” Shen Chengfeng lowered his voice, and Xiao Jing felt that this was an obvious threat.
Xiao Yu said: “Master Shen is wrong in what he said. There are thousands of acres of fertile land, but you can’t sleep more than three feet at night. We have a lot of wealth, but we can’t eat more than three meals a day. Before big things happen, we have to fill our stomachs first.”
“The meaning behind food itself is just to fill the belly, and the taste is secondary. General Xiao Yu is also a person who leads troops in war. Do I still need to explain this reasoning?”
“We are just having an ordinary meal now, and there is no need to use the old-fashioned rules of the army to restrain yourself, right?”
Shen Chengfeng looked at the other party from top to bottom and said, “Has General Xiao Yu forgotten that he is wearing a military uniform now?”
Xiao Yu took off his military cap and unbuttoned his military uniform one by one, folded it and placed it flatly on the corner of the table. He turned his head and his eyes collided fiercely again. Then he said: “Now I am just an ordinary diner.”
“General Xiao Yu has always been strict with himself. Today is an eye-opener for me.” Shen Chengfeng put down the spoon, his face was paralyzed, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
Xiao Jing seemed to smell the smoke of gunpowder. She didn’t understand why her captain and eldest brother suddenly burst into flames. Could this be the hidden daily life between the officers?
The two of them cherished each other, and as they cherished each other, they began to hit me, and I would hit you, and if you chased me, I would chase you. If you don’t like me, I just don’t like it.
Sure enough, men were also unpredictable things. They were ready to show off their arms if they disagreed with each other. Even showing off their big arms and muscles in public.
“Comrade officer, this is our store’s signature dish, the hairy crabs just fished out of the lake, please try it.” The store owner put down the plate with a smile on his face.
“Xiao Si, give it a try.” Xiao Yu pushed the plate in front of Xiao Jing without leaving any trace.
“We’re full.” Shen Chengfeng crossed his hands in front of him and stared at Xiao Jing who was about to stretch out her hand.
Xiao Jing was in a dilemma, should she eat or not.
Xiao Yu picked up a hairy crab and put it in Xiao Jing’s bowl and said, “Eat it.”
“There are strict rules on how much food a soldier can eat every day. You should know what punishment you will receive if you violate the rules.” Shen Chengfeng said at the same time.
Xiao Jing raised her head, looked at the two eyes that shot her back and forth, and raised her hand silently, should she eat or not?
“General Shen’s words are too serious. Now that we are outside the military camp, we will not be subject to military orders outside.” Seeing that Xiao Jing did not move, Xiao Yu simply peeled off the crab legs himself.
“Captain, I’ll just take one.” As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jing took a bite of the crab leg handed over by Xiao Yu without waiting for Shen Chengfeng’s reply.
Shen Chengfeng looked straight at the little soldier who was enjoying his meal, pushed away his chair and walked straight out of the restaurant.
Xiao Yu pushed a plate of hairy crabs in front of Xiao Jing, rubbed her head gently and said, “Eat it.”
Xiao Jing knew that she would be punished if she ate one crab, and she would still be punished if she ate a whole plate, no matter what happened next she would be punished, so she ate the whole plate in one go.
Xiao Yu also walked out of the restaurant, looking at the beautiful scenery of water and sky on the horizon, and said coldly: “When did Mr. Shen care so much about an ordinary soldier?”
“In my eyes, he is very special.”
Xiao Yu couldn’t bear it and clenched his fists tightly, “What is so special?”
“His body is very special.”
Xiao Yu clenched his fists tightly, and he could almost feel the pain of his nails digging into his flesh. He asked again: “Why is it special??”
Shen Chengfeng turned sideways, their eyes met again, and he asked, “Isn’t it clear to General Xiao Yu?”
“Yes, I know it very well.”
“Since General Xiao Yu knows it well, he should know how important he is to me.”
Xiao Yu couldn’t bear it anymore and punched him.
Shen Chengfeng seemed to have expected this, and hid behind, successfully avoiding Xiao Yu’s cruel fist.
“I advise you to give up this idea. Our Xiao family is not an ordinary family. If you want to take people away from our family, I’m afraid the Shen family doesn’t have the ability.” Xiao Yu’s face darkened, and the veins on his fists were particularly visible.
Shen Chengfeng gently flicked the non-existent dust on his body and said: “But he is my soldier now. If you want to take him away from my hands, Shen Chengfeng, your Xiao family don’t have the ability.”
“Then. I want to give it a try.” Xiao Yu turned around, glanced coldly at the man wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and said again: “General Shen, please think twice before you act. He, Xiao Jing, is just an ordinary person, and you can’t afford to offend our Xiao family for him.”
“Yes, he is an ordinary person, but his body is not an ordinary person’s body.”
Xiao Yu punched him again in anger.
Shen Chengfeng raised his hand to block and directly grabbed the opponent’s fist.
The setting sun was like fire, and when it fell on the two of them, there was an indescribable harmony and beauty.
The crab in Xiao Jing’s hand lost gravity and fell to the ground with a clang.
The fiery red sky seemed to be burned by fire, and the entire sky was split into bright red ravines. The two stood under the sunset, looking at each other, with the gentle night wind blowing around them, and their clothes fluttering.
She suddenly understood why the captain and eldest brother were so angry.
The reason why they didn’t dare to love was because of her, the huge big light bulb.
“If you dare to talk nonsense again, don’t blame me for disregarding my status and fighting you to the death here.” Xiao Yu said through gritted teeth.
“General Xiao Yu, who has always shown himself to be steady, I didn’t expect that he would be so angry. It seems that I underestimated Xiao Jing’s place in your heart.”
“If you dare to touch her, I will fight you to the death!” Pushing him away, Xiao Yu’s eyes were like a poisoned sword, wanting to pierce the other person’s body.
“Come here.” Shen Chengfeng looked at Xiao Jing a few meters away and gave her an order.
Xiao Jing wiped her hands and ran over after hesitating.
Shen Chengfeng took off his gloves directly. Under the gorgeous sunset, he pinched Xiao Jing’s face without saying a word.
“…”
“…”
Shen Chengfeng looked at Xiao Yu coldly and said seriously: “I not only moved, I also touched.”
“…”
“…”
“Let her go!” Xiao Yu emphasized his tone when saying let her go. Anyone could see his anger at first sight.
“Didn’t General Xiao Yu see something strange?” Shen Chengfeng changed his face and pinched him again.
“…” Who fu**ing let you pinch and play with it?
“Let her go.” Xiao Yu waved his fist like rain.
Shen Chengfeng raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Yu’s hand.
As soon as the hand without gloves came into contact with Xiao Yu’s skin, a trace of burns was left.
Xiao Yu’s movements became stagnant, and then he realized. He looked at his hands, and then at Xiao Jing’s face. Shen Chengfeng’s touch left a clear scar on his hand, while looking at Xiao Jing, there was only a little bit of red, and it was pinched red.
“He is immune to me, which is very important to me. I hope General Xiao Yu can put aside his personal grudges.” Shen Chengfeng did not intend to continue to prove anything and put on his gloves again.
Xiao Yu hesitated to speak. He knew that Xiao Jing was special, but he didn’t expect that she would be immune to the monster Shen Chengfeng.
Xiao Jing rubbed her cheeks and stared at her captain with resentful eyes. She was so angry, but what should she do? Still face him with a smile.
“Is it possible that you still want to use her for experiments?” Xiao Yu pulled Xiao Jing behind him without leaving any trace.
Shen Chengfeng didn’t reply. Why was he so persistent in keeping Xiao Jing? He was an upright soldier. It was absolutely impossible for him to use Xiao Jing as a guinea pig for research, so why keep him?
Was he a talent? There were a lot of such talents in the army, but why did he want to keep such a reckless and even full of shortcomings guy?
“He is suitable for Tie Ying.” Shen Chengfeng looked directly at that handsome face, because after his behavior just now, his face was filled with red frost.
Cute!
Shen Chengfeng was suddenly startled. He felt like a hole had been smashed into his head. He actually thought his soldiers were… cute!
Yes, Xiao Jing was very cute. When she puffed up her mouth, when she talked to herself and complained quietly, when she trained hard and sweated like rain, and when she completed the task and asked for rewards.
So cute!
“I can allow her to continue to stay in Tie Ying, but I will never allow you to treat her with such dirty thoughts.” Xiao Yu said seriously.
“Dirty thoughts?” Shen Chengfeng said these words with interest.
“She is a human being, not an experimental subject in your second brother’s laboratory. If I know that your Shen family used her for experiments, don’t blame us, the Xiao family, for not caring about our friendship over the years.”
“I am not despicable enough to use my soldiers for experiments.” Shen Chengfeng turned around, opened the car door, and said to the motionless Xiao Jing, “Get in the car.”
Xiao Jing was about to get in the car, but someone grabbed her wrist, and she lowered her head for no apparent reason, staring closely at the hand held tightly by her elder brother.
Xiao Yu said seriously: “Be careful of him in the future. This person has evil intentions against you.”
“…” Xiao Jing’s heart skipped a beat. Why did she feel that the usage of this word was a little wrong?
