Chapter 29: Have I offended my brother-in-law over the years?

"Meow, meow, meow."

*Master, I think very highly of the big shot. Compared to that male lead you mentioned, he's much, much better. *

"Don't you think it's too fast for me to be with Jiang Ye after only knowing him for a day?"

"Meow, meow, meow."

*Master, Old Ancestor Lu said that one should enjoy life to the fullest when one is proud. *

"Did Old Ancestor Lu really say that?"

"Meow, meow, meow."

*Master, Tangyuan never lies. If you don't believe me, look at the wall of storybooks left by Old Ancestor Lu. *

"Fine, I'll tear open a pack of sponge cake for you. You eat first, and I'll go read the storybooks left by the ancestors."

It was only past seven, and Shen Man wasn't sleepy at all.

Reading storybooks to pass the time was fine too.

"Meow."

*Thank you, Master~*

One person and one cat flashed into the space.

Tangyuan was quite busy; besides acting cute, being coquettish, and eating, it was incubating eggs.

It was thinking about planting vegetables and raising poultry in the space to add vitality and life to the space.

In a corner of the small house, Shen Man lay on a rocking chair, holding the book "Eighteen Husbands Dote on Me Alone," took a deep breath, and opened the first page...

Early the next morning, a transport truck stopped at the gate of the military region. Soldiers who had just finished their training mission and returned to the military jumped off the truck one after another, fully armed.

Finally, a pale-faced wounded soldier was helped off the truck by another lightly wounded soldier.

"Brother Lu, how do you feel? Is your head dizzy?"

"Go, go, go, I'm fine. I, ugh—"

Lu Xiu Bai's face was pale; it looked like the snake venom hadn't been cleared yet.

Leaning on crutches, he vomited several mouthfuls of bitter water by the side of the road, even vomiting bile.

"Brother Lu, shall I send you to the military doctor?"

"Don't bother. You think I'm not dying fast enough? Send me, send me back to the dormitory first. I have to ask Old Jiang if he picked up my sister."

"Okay."

After finishing the conversation, they checked their identities with the sentry at the gate, helped each other, and walked slowly back to the military.

Others were used to it; they were accustomed to situations where the injuries were more serious than this.

If the wounded had a need, they would just call out, and there would be plenty of people willing to help.

If there was no need, they would continue to do what they had to do and not waste time...

On the side of the soldier's dormitory building, ordinary soldiers lived in large communal rooms, with a dozen or twenty people in one room, which was normal.

Only company commanders, battalion commanders, and regiment commanders were qualified to live in double rooms or quadruple rooms in the board building.

From the moment Lu Xiu Bai joined the army, he started sleeping in the communal rooms.

The smell of big men's feet and sweat couldn't be ignored just by washing and changing socks diligently.

In order to live in the board building early, he started to "involute."

Whether it was training, trials, or military exercises, he strove to do his best and be the strongest!

But things went contrary to his wishes. The ideal was plump, but the reality was skinny.

Talents emerged in the military, and there were plenty of people more excellent than him.

For a period of time, he fell into self-doubt, wondering if he was wrong, if he was just a mediocre person, and how he couldn't compare to those who were more excellent no matter how hard he tried.

When he was crying in the corner of the training ground late at night, he was bumped into by Jiang Ye, that guy who always took the top spot. The other party's contemptuous—

"Just this?"

"If you're a rich kid who wants to come to the military to gild yourself, then you'd better get out early and don't waste resources."

"Soldiers shed blood and sweat, not tears. You can't even complete the training intensity; you might as well roll up your bedding and leave!"

At that moment, he felt unprecedented humiliation!

He had to stay and prove that he wasn't a rich kid who came to the military to gild himself; he was a man, and he wanted to be a man who stood upright!

From then on, he worked hard, trained desperately, and strove to reach the extreme!

Gradually, the two became friends, and Jiang Ye was both a teacher and a friend to him.

Actually, he privately suspected whether the other party had lied about his age?

Otherwise, how could he be so wise, with solutions to problems and training moves that he couldn't think of, which the other party could easily handle!

No matter what, he trusted this friend very much.

He trusted him so much that he told him about his family affairs.

Including his sister coming to the Sea Island to rely on him this time, his legs were inconvenient, so the first person he thought of was to entrust Jiang Ye...

"Battalion Commander Lu, what were you and Regiment Commander Jiang thinking when you chose the fifth floor, the top floor, to live in?

Climbing stairs every day, aren't you tired?"

"Go, go, go. Put me down when we get to the dormitory. I can walk myself. You go back to the battalion to write a report, and then I'll give you two days off to rest well."

"Received~"

Hearing this, the lightly wounded soldier's heart blossomed with joy.

He had heard that Political Commissar Ji was going to hold a blind date mixer for unmarried men and women on the Sea Island!

He was still single, and it just so happened that the Battalion Commander gave him time off, so he could recuperate well and tidy himself up!

"Click."

Lu Xiu Bai took the room key out of the potted plant at the door, opened the lock, and scanned the room.

*Jiang Ye isn't in the dormitory? *

At this time, Jiang Ye was handling things for the regiment in the new Regiment Commander's office he had been assigned.

Sitting in the position of a Regiment-level cadre, one had to manage internal affairs.

External affairs were left to the battalion commanders below to be responsible for, setting the regiment's regulations, and regularly reporting on personnel

Recently, he had been executing missions and going out on official business quite often. On top of that, having just been promoted, the original Regiment Commander Li was transferred away. The Deputy Regiment Commander, Qian Honglu, had thought he would be the one to take the post, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by him due to his outstanding military merits, leaving behind quite a few thorny matters.

To put it bluntly, the current Sixth Regiment was a bit chaotic internally.

He was originally just a Battalion Commander in the Sixth Regiment, so he didn't need to handle internal affairs, but now that his status had changed and people's hearts were wavering, everything had to be traced back and straightened out...

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Enter."

"Report, Regiment Commander Jiang. Battalion Commander Lu returned to the unit this morning with the transport vehicle and is currently back in the dormitory."

"Mm. Schedule a military doctor for this afternoon; I will take him for a full examination."

"Understood!"

After the person reporting left, Jiang Ye rubbed his brow.

The young lady hadn't given him a definite response yet, and at this moment, his brother-in-law had returned...

Jiang Ye carefully recalled whether he had offended his brother-in-law over these years.

He thought about it; he hadn't offended him, but he had beaten him up quite a few times.

He touched his clean-shaven chin. His face still had some appeal to the young lady; if he were beaten by his brother-in-law, would the young lady feel heartache?

He reached out and glanced at his wristwatch; it was eleven o'clock.

He sorted the documents on the desk, putting the signed ones aside and leaving the rest to be handled when he found time in the afternoon.

Taking the young lady to the canteen for a meal was the top priority.

Meanwhile, in the room, Shen Man, who had stayed up late reading novels, poured two drops of Spiritual Liquid into a cup, swirled it, and drank it in one gulp.

The exhaustion all over her body and the dark circles under her eyes slowly faded away.

Replacing them was a sense of vitality, full of spirit, without a trace of sleepiness or dizziness.

"Meow."

Master, are the storybooks really that good?

Shen Man nodded, "They're good!"
