Wu Zhifei was very concerned about the military exercise.
This was inevitable.
Who didn't want to achieve excellent results in their work?
He urged Yun Laohu, "I can't interfere with your family matters, but our regiment still needs to rely on you for work matters. I don't expect you to ask the commander for information, but since the inspection team is here, you have to accompany me to deal with it, right? I heard that Xia Zhongcheng is quite arrogant and smart. How many years has he studied for a doctorate? I'm afraid I can't handle it alone! "
To be honest …
Yun Jingting also wanted to meet Xia Zhongcheng, not to ask for information … but because he felt that he had to "check" for his sister.
The relationship between sister and brother was deep …
No choice!
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
"Report."
"Come in!"
"Report, regiment commander, political commissar, the inspection team has arrived."
"Got it."
Wu Zhifei hurriedly put on his military cap and adjusted his military attire. He raised his chin at Yun Laohu and said, "Let's hurry up and receive them!"
"Is there a need for that?"
"Did you take my words as wind past your ears? Tiger, let me tell you, you have to be more enthusiastic. Xia Zhongcheng is arrogant. If you act cold and arrogant again, I'll become a popsicle! "
After he finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the office.
Yun Laohu shook her head and smiled bitterly. She could only follow him.
When he arrived at the entrance, he was a little surprised … He saw a small military jeep parked outside the regiment headquarters, and the driver was Xia Zhongcheng himself. He didn't bring any attendants, nor did he bring a driver. When he looked around, there were no other cars. He came for the so-called work inspection by himself. This person was really "arrogant".
Wu Zhifei was really enthusiastic. He hurriedly went over to open the door for him … but Xia Zhongcheng got out of the car before him. He tugged at the corner of his shirt, adjusted his military cap, straightened his back, and habitually touched the collar button.
At first glance, one could tell that this person was very strict with self-interest. It was a habit formed after many years of being a soldier.
Wu Zhifei smiled and stretched out his hand. "Staff Officer Xia, welcome. Welcome to the inspection!"
Xia Zhongcheng's voice was very pleasant to the ears. It was low, magnetic, and not pretentious. His voice sounded very masculine, as if it came from his chest. "I'm just here to take a look. It's not an inspection job!"
His words were quite modest, but there was a natural arrogance in his demeanor. He did not deliberately show that he was superior to others. In other words, it was the self-confidence of a "capable" person. His temperament was natural.
Xia Zhongcheng turned to Yun Jingting with a hint of intimacy in his eyes. "Head Of Yun, how are you? I've heard so much about you!"
I've long heard of your name?
He didn't know where he "smelled" it.
Yun Laohu was still quite polite. She greeted him politely, "Not at all. Staff Officer Xia's name is like thunder to my ears. You're the most knowledgeable person in our military region!"
"It's not worth mentioning! Not worth mentioning! I've only studied for a few years. It's not as satisfying as killing enemies on the battlefield! "
These words were quite heroic!
It seemed that he was also a person with backbone.
Wu Zhifei hurriedly took over the topic … It could be considered a compliment in disguise. "Staff Officer Xia, you're too polite. The division of labor in revolutionary work is different. It's true that killing enemies on the battlefield is satisfying, but it also requires the deployment of staff officers in the rear. It's war, after all, and always requires someone to plan the strategy in order to have a greater chance of winning."
These words … were quite good!
He praised both himself and the other party!
Wu Zhifei took the lead. "Come, don't talk outside. It's cold. Let's hurry into the office!"
Xia Zhongcheng followed behind. However, he deliberately slowed down his pace and followed beside Yun Jingting … He was also quite tall, so the two of them were almost at the same level. "Head Of Yun, you look quite similar to your second sister! Your temperament is also similar. You both have a sense of heroism! "
Oh!
These words … were a bit of a flattery, right?
The others didn't ask, but Staff Officer Xia brought up Yun Jingqi first. His tone even sounded like he was praising her … It was obvious that he was going to take the "brother-in-law" route.
It was no wonder!
It was also expected that Xia Zhongcheng would like Second Sister Yun.
After all, Yun Jingqi was good in all aspects … Not only was she beautiful, but she was also kind-hearted. Her work was also good, and her family background was comparable to the Xia Family's. To put it in a more secular way, they were a typical match in terms of social status. There was nothing to be picky about.
Yun Laohu also had a good impression of Xia Zhongcheng and was willing to chat with him for a while … She raised her eyebrows knowingly. "Are you very close to my sister?"
"Not very close!" Xia Zhongcheng seemed to be a straightforward person. He was probably more serious about his relationship with Yun Jingqi, so he didn't intend to hide it. "I've just met your second sister. Yes, I think she's quite a good person!"
Met?
Yun Laohu didn't say anything, but the meaning in her eyes was already very clear … She didn't mind him continuing.
Xia Zhongcheng was a smart person … He knew that in order to make a marriage go smoothly, he had to win over the other party's family. Being honest with them could give him bonus points. "Oh, you probably haven't been home recently, right? I've just arrived at the military base not long ago. Commander Yun thought highly of me and introduced your second sister to me. She's a matchmaker, right? I hope we can get to know each other better! "
Matchmaker?
This person was really straightforward!
He was probably … the type who would attack once he had a clear goal.
Yun Laohu admired this kind of straightforward personality … He was manly enough!
She nodded. "Since it's my dad's idea … then you and my sister should get to know each other better!"
As they spoke, the two entered the office. Wu Zhifei had already brewed tea and warmly invited Xia Zhongcheng to sit on the sofa. "Staff Officer Xia, have a seat!"
He took the opportunity to sit opposite him. "What instructions do you have for me this time?"
"…"
The three of them sat together and began to talk about work.
Yun Jingting carefully sized up Xia Zhongcheng from the side. He was quite handsome, well-mannered, neither servile nor overbearing, polite and well-mannered, and knowledgeable. The moment he spoke, she could tell that he was a knowledgeable person … The rarest thing was that there was a sense of righteousness between his eyebrows.
She couldn't help but give this person a high score in her heart … For the first time, she felt that her father had good taste.
Yun Jingting had a different morning …
Where was Shen Xiaofeng?
This day was even more unforgettable, and she would never forget it for the rest of her life.
Last night, after leaving Liu Dahua and returning home, she couldn't fall asleep at all. She tossed and turned in bed and looked at the empty bunk beside her. After thinking for a while, she put on her pajamas and went downstairs.
Standing at the door of the study, through the half-closed door, she could see Yun Mocheng's silhouette looking down as he went through documents …
She mustered her courage and gently knocked on the door. "Old Yun, why aren't you sleeping?"
Yun Mocheng didn't even raise his head. "I'll stay in the study today. Go to sleep!"
"I have a few words to say to you."
Yun Mocheng's hand paused as he was writing. He seemed to ponder for a moment before he raised his head. "Old Shen, there are some words … It's too late to say them now!"
Too late?
Did he only mean that it was too late?
Or did he mean that it was already a fact?
Yun Mocheng's ambiguous attitude made Shen Xiaofeng a little confused. At the same time, her heart turned cold. "I … can't sleep. There's something on my mind that I want to talk to someone about!"
Commander Yun calmly turned his gaze back to the documents. "I'm really busy right now. I don't have time! How about next time? Or you can talk to your mother when she comes back from Tingting! You and your mother are telepathic, so you should be able to understand each other's feelings better! "
Since he had already said so much …
Shen Xiaofeng couldn't continue. She sighed softly and said, "Old Yun, I just want to ask you one thing now. Do you regret marrying me? If you could do it all over again, would you choose Xu Jingya? "
Yun Mocheng frowned. There was obvious impatience in his tone. "I'm a materialist. There are no ifs in my life. Old Shen, don't waste my time. When you leave, close the door behind you!"
Waste his time?
Shen Xiaofeng's heart turned cold.
They were husband and wife. Wasn't it obvious that a conversation had become a waste of time? It meant that their marriage was coming to an end. There was no more affection to speak of.
She turned around dejectedly. She didn't return to the bedroom. Instead, she nestled on the dark sofa in the living room. She bit her nails and recalled how she had come to this point.
Until the sky gradually brightened …
She seemed to have woken up from a dream. She hurriedly stood up, went upstairs to change her clothes, and went straight to her daughter's residence.
When she reached the door, she knocked lightly. "Tingting, it's Mom!"
Almost immediately, the door opened.
Jiang Tingting leaned on a walking stick with one hand. With two big dark circles under her eyes, she plunged into Shen Xiaofeng's arms. "Mom, you're finally here. I can't stay here for another second. There was a big rat in the kitchen last night … Mom, the fire in the stove is extinguished. I don't know how to cook, and there's no one to cook for me. I can't even eat a warm meal!"
She pouted pitifully. "Mom, even if you can't take care of me, you should at least find me a nanny!"
Shen Xiaofeng smiled bitterly. "Tingting, at a time like this, you're still like a pampered lady … You're greedy for pleasure? I hope you're prepared. From now on, our lives will be completely different! "
----- Digression —
It's time to torture!
I won't be soft-hearted anymore!
