Jian Shui'er sat quietly on the balcony by the window. She wore a blue and white striped cargo pants and a loose red shirt. She looked as comfortable as a girl next door.
The suite was very large. The dark wood balcony was warm and smooth. It might be very comfortable to sit on it, and it should also be very comfortable to read under the sun. Therefore, when the door was pushed open, she didn't even turn around. Her purple hair gently fell down from her forehead as she swept her eyes over the pages of the book.
The first time Xu Le saw her up close was in the ward of the First Military Region's General Hospital. That day, the sun was also shining through the window. Jian Shui'er was wearing a plain dress. She was as beautiful as a young girl who had walked out of an oil painting.
Now that he saw the girl under the sun again, he should have felt some emotions, but all the emotions in his heart had long been attracted by Madman Li's words. Other than shock, he couldn't feel anything else.
The popular national girl Jian Shui'er was Li Feng's aunt. She was a member of the Lees of Philadelphia?
Xu Le stood at the door and stared blankly at the girl under the sun by the window. For a moment, it was unknown how many complex emotions and speculations surged into his mind, destroying his extraordinarily thick nerves and the calm calculation ability unique to engineers.
When Sister Tong left the room, she glanced at this young officer in surprise. She was fooled by Xu Le's calm appearance, believing that Xu Le already knew Jian Shui'er's identity. She couldn't help but sigh at his ability to disguise himself on the warship. She only knew that the old War God valued Xu Le, but she didn't know that Xu Le had an intimate relationship with another person in the Lees of Philadelphia.
Xu Le lowered his head slightly and followed Sister Tong out of the room. He then gently closed the door, put on his sunglasses again, and stood guard outside the door. However, when he gripped the door lock and put on his sunglasses, his usually steady fingers actually trembled slightly.
…
…
The national girl sat on the windowsill, her long eyelashes glowing with a charming luster under the sun. She did not move for a long time, looking as if she had fallen asleep. However, when Li Feng stood behind her for a few seconds, the girl reached into the snack belt beside her and took out a piece of egg yolk pastry. She brought it to her mouth and chewed it. She frowned slightly and said, "I'm not an officer. Don't do this in front of me."
"Isn't that the family's rule … You flew out when you were young, but Grandpa liked you so much. I don't have your charisma."
Li Feng took off his military cap and sat on the chair in a well-behaved manner. He looked at the girl by the window and nervously explained, "When my family told me that you were coming, I was carrying out a mission. I just got off the front line the day before yesterday, so I came a little late."
There were not many people in the family by Lake Feicheng. Jian Shui'er left when she was less than 12 years old and began her own independent life in the capital. However, whenever there was a chance, the three generations of the Li family would always find an opportunity to get together, especially when Li Feng came back from the front line.
What made Li Feng sad was that although the girl by the window was only a year and a few months older than him, she was his elder. When he saw her, he had to respectfully call her aunt.
In the family by the lake, the person who was doted on the most by the old man was not him, the brave young man, but this purple-haired girl. Li Feng, who was not afraid of anything, would always feel uneasy in front of his little aunt, Jian Shui 'er, due to the habit he had developed since he was young.
"Recently, the military has made a big move. I have to go back to the front line at night, so I will leave in a while." Li Feng said, "Aunt, I didn't handle today's matter well. Please don't blame me."
Jian Shui'er put down the book and turned her head to glare at him unhappily. She handed over the bag of synthetic egg yolk and said, "You only know how to fight and kill every day. This kind of thing can be solved by directly calling Mrs. Zhong. Even if you don't have the face to do so, it's fine to let the old man do it."
It was strange that this girl, who had just celebrated her 19th birthday, used the tone of an elder to reprimand Madman Li, who killed people like flies. Not only did it not feel absurd, but it also seemed very natural and friendly.
"Didn't you hear the second master's unpleasant words? Fortunately, you are the one who came to hold a concert for the military. The person he fanatically worships is you. If it were any other star, wouldn't they have fallen into his evil hands?" Li Feng sneered and said, "He didn't have time to do anything. Otherwise, I think Zhong Laohu would have to put righteousness before family."
The relationship between the Lees of Philadelphia and the National Girl Idol was a secret. The big shots in the Federation who vaguely knew about this only knew that the two were related by blood, but they didn't understand the real purpose of the Military God forcibly blocking this relationship.
Li Xiuzhu tried his best to pursue Jian Shui'er. On the one hand, it was because of love, but at the beginning of the blind date, who could say that the old man wearing the small round hat was not trying to establish a close relationship with the most powerful family in the military? Lady Tai knew that after the blind date arranged by Lee Jae-do, she went to Philadelphia to meet the old man. She directly expressed her dissatisfaction with the Li family's attempt, because she was the only one who knew the purpose of the Lees of Philadelphia blocking this relationship.
"You are alone in the front line, be careful."
Jian Shui'er looked at Li Feng, who lowered his head and ate the egg yolk cake, and said with concern, "You are the only grandson of the old Li family, and these years, you have been a thorn in their side. The people of the Empire are cunning and ruthless. In order to kill you, they will do anything … Of course, I know your ability, but the problem is that don't be too brave. Don't think about how many times you have been injured in these years."
"I'm fine." In front of Jian Shui'er, Li Feng was more like a big boy who had not completely left his adolescence. While eating the egg yolk cake, he said vaguely, "Auntie, the place where you held the concert this time is really dangerous. The problem is that I am on a mission, so I can't stay with you."
"It's okay, the old man specially arranged someone." Jian Shui'er thought of Xu Le, who was standing at the door before, and cutely tilted her head and fell into deep thought. She wondered how the small-eyed boy's mood would change after knowing her true background.
"There is no problem with the small-eyed man's ability." Li Feng wiped the crumbs from his mouth. After thinking for a moment, he seriously gave Xu Le a fair evaluation. "But as I said before, the military has been making a big move recently. I always feel that it is not appropriate for Auntie to come to the West Woods at this time."
The Federal military had strict discipline. Although facing his auntie, Li Feng still could not explain in more detail.
Jian Shui'er smiled slightly and handed him a wet tissue, but she did not care. Li Feng thought of the Federal military's recent military deployment and war preparations that had not stopped recently. Looking at his auntie's sweet and warm smile, a shadow flashed in his heart.
…
…
"Is the egg yolk cake delicious?"
On the observation deck on the top floor of the Venus Hotel, Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at the blue sky and white sand, and asked Madman Li next to him. Then he took out the 37 Brand cigarettes, lit one, and handed one over.
"I don't smoke."
Li Feng rejected the cigarette that represented some kind of peace. After a slight pause, he said with a trace of emotion, "I don't like to eat egg yolk cake either, but Auntie likes to eat it with red wine. When I was young, I snatched it once, and she always thought that I liked to eat it … Now, every time she sees me, she wants to give me a few. I have to eat it even if I don't want to. I don't dare to disobey her. "
For some reason, Xu Le was only three years older than Li Feng, but he always felt that his mentality was much older than the other party's. No one in the Federation would treat this Lieutenant Colonel Madman Li, whose hands were stained with the blood of the Empire's invaders, as a youth. He subconsciously felt this way. At this moment, when he heard the trace of emotion in the other party's words, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then he exhaled the light green smoke into the dark blue West Woods sky. He narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that no one has ever known that Jian Shui'er is Director Li's younger sister."
"Those who know about this matter are not humans." Li Feng mocked the big shots in the capital ring. His father, Major General Lee Jae-do, was now the vice director of the First Military Academy.
Then, a strange expression flashed across his face. He stared at Xu Le and asked, "Did no one tell you?"
"Tell me what?" Xu Le's heart shrank slightly.
"Auntie is Granduncle's biological daughter." Li Feng stared at him with furrowed brows and said in disbelief, "Then Auntie doesn't know that you are Granduncle's student?"
The second spring thunder rang in Xu Le's heart. Although he already had an extremely strong premonition when he heard about Jian Shui'er's identity, he was still a little confused and helpless by this news. He numbly shook his head.
"What a mess." Li Feng suddenly felt some sympathy for Xu Le. "Those old guys threw you into a pile and actually asked you to play a guessing game. I really don't know what they are thinking."
"The answer to the riddle is finally revealed." Xu Le lowered his head and slowly put out the cigarette on the railing.
Li Feng was silent for a moment, and then he shook his head and said, "I just feel very regretful. If this mess continues, it will become more and more impossible for me to kill you."
"That's true. No matter what, I am your uncle now." Xu Le put the extinguished cigarette back into his palm and answered softly.
Li Feng turned and left. The West Woods sun shone on the young lieutenant colonel's face, but it illuminated a bit of anger and embarrassment.
The military vehicle drove toward Longwind Base. Three subordinate officers in the vehicle followed him around all year round, so they were not afraid of him. They looked at his face and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel, what is troubling you so much?"
"If I have to call that guy uncle, I will be full of complaints." Li Feng frowned and said coldly, "When I think that I may have to call him uncle in the future, I can't wait to kill him right away."
…
…
Xu Le needed time to understand the shocking secret he learned today, so he directly went back to his room, took a hot shower, and then sat on the bed in a daze.
Jian Shui'er, the national girl who was loved and respected by the people of the Federation, was the relative of the Federation's military god, Li Pifu. If this news was published by someone, it would definitely be listed as one of the top ten news of the year, or even the most shocking news.
For Xu Le, this truth really shocked him. And the fact that Jian Shui'er was his uncle's biological daughter left in the world made him feel even more confused and helpless.
There was a light knock on the door. He wiped his wet hair with a towel, forced himself to calm down and said, "Please come in."
