He Yuting received a call from her sister on her way back to the office building. After explaining two sentences to Zhao Shangyi, she left.
There was heating in the office, but the temperature wasn't high. Shang Zhiqi looked at the map of the camp area on the wall and pursed his lips - the weather forecast indicated that the weather conditions in Beijing for the next three days were not optimistic, it seemed that the training plan previously set must be postponed.
"Brother, sister-in-law is here." Xue Fu Xun suddenly pushed open the door and entered, having not seen her all morning.
Shang Yi heard the words and turned around.
Looking towards the door, he saw Xue Fu Xun holding a little girl in his arms. The little girl's head was resting on Xue Fu Xun's shoulder, as if she was sleeping soundly.
Xue Fu Xun stepped aside, and a woman behind him appeared.
Quickly walking towards the door, Shang Xi's eyes slightly softened: "What brings you here?"
He wrapped his arms around Gu Xiyuan, and after not seeing her for a few days, Shang Yiqian sensitively noticed that her small face had lost some weight.
"Alas, I've been troubled by Yan'er." Gu Xiyan smiled helplessly. More importantly, she didn't want to give Yan'er the impression that her own parents didn't love each other.
"Brother, Xiang'er has fallen asleep. I'll take her to the resting room first." Xue Fu Xun pretended not to see the movements of Shang Yi Qi and the other person, smiled, then carried Little Ya Tou away.
Shang Yiqi led Gu Xiyuan to the long table and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he pulled Gu Xiyuan into his arms. One hand reached into Gu Xiyuan's coat pocket, and Shang Yiqi's cold hands suddenly felt a warmth.
"Move over, I want to sit beside you." Worried that someone might open the door and come in at any moment, Gu Xiyan shifted uncomfortably.
Shang Yi Qi said: "Don't move, sit well."
Gu Xiyan saw his unyielding expression and had no choice but to compromise.
"Hey, are you doing well here?" The two people's postures were too intimate, Gu Xiyan subconsciously found a topic to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Uh-huh." A brief response.
"Qi, Yan'er misses you a lot. If you have time, go back and visit her often." Her head was pressed against Shang Yue Qi's chest, through the thick military uniform, Gu Xiyan seemed to hear the sound of Shang Yue Qi's heartbeat, steady and powerful.
"Good."
Gu Xiyan hung her head, and inadvertently saw that Shang Yueqi's large hand exposed in the air had several faint blood stains. She took off her own woolen gloves, and her two warm little hands approached Shang Yueqi's palm.
Wow, so cool!
Gu Xiyan took Shang Qi's hand with both hands and rubbed it repeatedly, occasionally bringing his large hand to her lips to warm it up.
Business is booming and won't stop.
Her hand gradually warmed up, and Shang Yi unceremoniously pulled out the other hand from Gu Xiyan's pocket and placed it in front of her.
Gu Xiyan saw the rare childishness in him and couldn't help but laugh softly. Following her previous actions, Gu Xiyan gently warmed his hands for him. This hand wasn't as cold as the last one, so Gu Xiyan didn't need to exert much effort.
Outside the door.
Through the small glass on the door, He Yun saw clearly the two figures entwined in the hall. One of them was her familiar iron-blooded decisiveness.
In his hand was still half a bowl of hot water, and on the surface of the bowl was a wisp of rising steam. He Yitian's hand, which had been about to open the door, froze in place.
He blinked and covered up the faint crack on his face.
"What's wrong, Vice Master? Why aren't you going in?" Suddenly, a steady and firm footsteps came from behind.
He Yuxiu smiled self-deprecatingly and turned sideways. By then, she had regained her composure: "Has Vice Commander Xue arrived?"
"Yes, right, come in, it's cold outside." As he spoke, Xue Fu Xun had already turned the door handle.
What she originally wanted to remind him was that the current situation in the room was not suitable for entering, but at this critical moment, her consciousness and body were fighting. Her body didn't listen to orders, and in this brief moment of hesitation, the door had already opened.
"Brother, sister-in-law." Xue Fu Xun casually pulled over a chair and sat down, not forgetting to invite He Yun behind him: "Vice Master He, please sit down too."
Sister-in-law? He Yu's body shook slightly, and the hot water in his hand almost spilled.
Gu Xiyan saw someone coming in and refused to be honest with Shang Qianqi, who was holding her. She looked at Shang Qianqi pitifully and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Qianqi, put me down, okay? I want to get down."
Shang Yi didn't say a word. Seeing Gu Xiyan's pleading expression, he secretly sighed and let go of her.
Gu Xiyan saw him back down and felt a surge of joy in her heart. With one jump, she left Shang Yuqi's arm.
As soon as she stood still, Gu Xiyan saw a figure in a dark green military uniform with an impressive and refreshing appearance - He Yu. At the same time, He Yu also quickly scanned Gu Xiyan without making any noise.
A few steps away, the woman had a head of raven-black hair that cascaded down her back, with skin as white as ice and bones as delicate as jade. Her eyebrows were shaped like a crescent moon and her face was exquisitely beautiful, yet unconventional. Her eyes were clear and alluring, both cold and gentle at the same time. The woman's figure was slender and elegant, and the aura surrounding her was soft and captivating.
In an instant, a strange sense of resistance surged up in He Yun's mind.
Gu Xiyan didn't know who He Yu was, but since she could come to the office, she must be a fairly high-ranking official. Smiling warmly at He Yu, Gu Xiyan sat down beside Shang Yi.
"Eh, Vice Minister He, sister-in-law, you don't know each other yet, let me introduce you." Xue Fu Xun felt that the atmosphere in the office was a bit strange and didn't understand where this discordant feeling came from. He then cheerfully introduced the two parties to each other.
"Vice Commander He, this is our brother's wife, sister-in-law's name sounds good, it's Gu Xiyen." Looking at Gu Xiyen, Xue Fuheng said: "Sister-in-law, this is an officer with the same position as me, a female strongman in the army, and also the only female soldier in our division, He Yu, Vice Commander He."
The four words 'Ge's wife' made He Yu recognize the reality again, and he nodded to Gu Xiyen woodenly before walking into the office with a cup of water.
The steaming water, not yet put to use, all flowed into the sink. He Yuhao looked at himself in the mirror, suddenly shook his head violently, wanting to shake off those emotions that he shouldn't have had.
She and her sister rarely met, but today her sister had finally come to see her, so she should have accompanied her sister properly. However, after chatting with her sister for less than half an hour, she couldn't help but think of Shang's hands in her mind. Under her sister's astonished gaze, she said "Sister has something to do, let's talk again next time" and sent her sister away.
She went to the army cafeteria and got half a bowl of hot water, her brain was hot and she didn't think much about it, so she took the water to the office. She didn't even have time to think if the instructor was still here or not. But unexpectedly, the first scene she saw when she came here was a woman gently rubbing someone's hands to warm them up.
What's even more absurd is that this woman is actually the wife of the leader?
Alas, I've really hit rock bottom! When has she ever been so passive?
When he went out again, He Ruo resumed his usual serious and cold demeanor.
Forget it, it's just that this man is too excellent, which made me have a little bit of good feeling. This is the awe of the strong, nothing, as long as I pay attention to myself in the future. He Xuan reminded himself in his heart.
Four people at a table, Xue Fu Xun smiled straightforwardly: "Sister-in-law, my brother performed well in the army and had no bad habits, please rest assured."
"I'm not at ease..."
Gu Xiyan's words were left unfinished, but Shang Yi took over with a calm tone: "It was a good performance."
Go ahead, boast about yourself!
Xue Fu Xun heard this and burst out laughing: "Sister-in-law, brother means to ask for a reward, right? Alright, I'll help take care of Xiao Yan'er, so reward brother and sister-in-law with some alone time!"
"What's wrong, Master? I have some questions to ask you. Can we take a walk and talk?" Xue Fu Xun said with a convenient excuse.
He suddenly felt that he was also superfluous here, so he got up and followed Xue Fu Xun to leave.
Brother, don't say that brothers won't help each other, it's not easy to be in the forefront and rear! Xue Fu Xun and He Yun walked on the outer corridor, laughing heartily.
