Xiao Yue lightly lifted his eyelids, and his phoenix eyes captured his expression: "Do you like Shiye?"

If his memory had not been awakened, he would still be that idiot and might be happy to answer Zhou Yunce's questions.

Zhou Yunce was stunned by this straightforward statement. After a brief silence, he said, "Comrade Maiya saved me. I am very grateful. I don't know if this counts as love, but I know that I don't want her to be controlled by others."

After saying this, Zhou Yunce raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yue, his eyes were extremely complicated, but his tone was very serious: "Xiao Yue, Comrade Shiye is a very simple person, kind and hardworking, and has always lived a good life. If it weren't for you, her life as an educated youth in the northwest would have been smoother. You know, the first time we met, she wanted me to cooperate with her and help explain your relationship clearly."

"She doesn't like this kind of reputational shackles, and she doesn't like you even more. Do you understand?"

"Comrade Shiye suddenly said she wanted to marry you. I guess you forced her to do that. Xiao Yue, when did you become such a person? Comrade Shiye is a person, not an object. I hope you can respect her wishes."

Xiao Yue's eyes were deep and narrow, and he had a very aggressive face. After he put away his gentleness, he became particularly strong and sneered, "Respect her wishes? So, you asked her, is she willing to marry you? Not willing to marry me?"

Zhou Yunce frowned and pursed his lips and said, "I didn't ask, but I know!"

Without waiting for Xiao Yue to speak, Zhou Yunce said, "Xiao Yue, as long as you don't force Comrade Shiye, this engagement between her and me will never become a shackle or a cage for her. I respect any choice she makes."

Looking at Zhou Yunce's great expression of helping others, Xiao Yue frowned and his eyes became a little gloomy.

Xiao Yue didn't want to talk to Zhou Yunce anymore. This man kept talking to himself and always felt that he was a savior to Shi.

He stood up, lowered his thin eyelids, and said in a very forceful tone: "Zhou Yunce, let me advise you that Shi is not as innocent and kind as you think, and she is not someone who will be bullied. If I force her, she will have plenty of ways to escape."

"Don't call Yandu again. I know what Li Xiulian is thinking. Sooner or later, it will backfire."

Xiao Yue's voice was oppressive. After he finished speaking, he ignored Zhou Yunce who was standing there in a daze and strode away.

As soon as he opened the door, Zhou Yunxiao rushed in. It was obvious that she had been eavesdropping at the door and had not left.

Xiao Yue acted as if he didn't see Zhou Yunxiao. He let her lie at his feet and passed by her.

"Brother!" Zhou Yunxiao got up and ran to Zhou Yunce, and said timidly: "Brother, what did you say?"

Zhou Yunce's thin and slender fingers curled up, he shook his head and said nothing.

At the border camp, Shi was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by a knock on the door.

Bao Qing was outside the door, jumping up and down anxiously: "Comrade Shiye! Comrade Shiye! Wake up! Someone from Annan is coming!"

Shiya suddenly opened his eyes, frowned and looked at the door, stood up and opened the door, and asked solemnly, "Where is Captain Xiao?"

"He... Oh no! He is not in the camp! It so happens that someone from Annan came to discuss the issue of antibiotics with us. I can't make the decision, so I can only ask you to go over. After all, this streptomycin was developed by you, and wasn't it handed over to you and Lao Xiao by the higher-ups? He is not here, so you have to keep the situation under control!" Bao Qing said, pointing to the distance, where several Annan military vehicles were parked.

Shi also took a deep breath. She was a military doctor, and she had to do diplomatic work part-time. Never mind, she would just fight back when the enemy came.

In her previous life, she had participated in many activities with Jiang Zishan. The people present were either rich or noble, standing at the top of power. She had nothing to be nervous about when facing an Annan officer. It was just a deal for streptomycin. How should she negotiate the terms? ?

After all, as mentioned above, this is not just a transaction, but also a meeting to maintain peace on the border between the two countries!

If we ask for too much, it will be inappropriate and may even be seen by the Annan people as a warning, which may further damage the relationship.

If it is less, they will pay for it, which is definitely inappropriate and will make Annan think that we are showing weakness! The national prestige will be damaged!

So, this is not allowed, that is not allowed. On the surface, it seems to be an important diplomatic task with other countries, but in fact, it is a hot potato. Whoever takes it over will have a headache. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded, but if you do not do a good job, you may even be criticized!

Shi also frowned. Who on earth gave this fatal task to her and Xiao Yue?

Or was this originally a plot to weaken Xiao Yue's influence in the border defense camp?

Shiya felt heavy-hearted, but he didn't show any sign of it on his face.

She hesitated for a moment and said to Bao Qing, "Please invite the people into the barracks. I'll change my clothes and come over."

Bao Qing nodded: "Okay!"

Bao Qing welcomed them into the barracks. The leading Annan officer sat down, but his adjutant did not move. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Where is your battalion commander Xiao? We came here with sincerity today to discuss the antibiotics issue, but he won't show up?"

"What's the hurry? Have a glass of water first, our Captain Xiao will be here soon!" Bao Qing was obviously not a softie. He got angry at the questioning of the Annan Army. You black coal balls, how can you beg for help with this attitude?

"You!" The adjutant of the Annan officer's face changed, and he subconsciously wanted to reach for his gun, but then he remembered that in order to show their sincerity, the Annan people took the initiative to remove their sharp weapons and hot weapons after entering the Chinese territory. They really came here with bare hands.

"Andre!" Officer Annan shouted in a deep voice, and the adjutant immediately lowered his head and stood behind him.

The Annan officer smiled and said gently, "I've heard that Chinese tea is very fragrant. I wonder..."

Bao Qing frowned and was about to speak when Shiye's voice rang out from outside the barracks: "I'm so sorry, this is a border area, the soldiers are out in the wind and rain, guarding the border for the country, they don't enjoy it as much as the Annan soldiers, do you want some boiled water?"

The corner of Bao Qing's mouth twitched, and he lowered his head, trying hard to hold back his laughter, fearing that he would laugh out loud.

This Shiya is so mean.

Shiye pushed the door open and the first person he saw was Pei Yingchun, the Annan officer who had planned to provoke the militia last time.

She raised her eyebrows. It was true that enemies often meet on a narrow road. She heard that he and Xiao Yue were old rivals. Since he was good at diplomacy, he should have thought that Annan would send him here. However, for a pro-war faction, this trip might not be a sincere request for medicine.

Shiye sighed inwardly and stepped forward. When Pei Yingchun saw her, her eyes flickered and she smiled softly, "It's you."

Shiye sat down and said politely, "Officer Pei, my name is Shiye, you can call me Doctor Shiye."

Pei Yingchun looked at her snow-white coat, half-closed his eyes, and smiled even more deeply. He took the initiative to stand up, took off the white gloves on his hands, and extended his slender and strong hand to Shi Ye: "Dr. Shi, nice to meet you."

Shi also reached out and shook hands with Pei Yingchun. The latter's hands were dry and warm, which was not as sinister as his heart.

Bao Qing watched the two men shaking hands, his eyes widened instantly, staring straight at them. Fortunately, the two men's hands separated as soon as they touched, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and stood behind Shi Ye with a protective attitude.

Pei Yingchun didn't care at all, but said in a long voice: "I have heard that a medical genius appeared in the border of China. The plague was raging, and the streptomycin he developed was amazing. I didn't expect it to be Doctor Shi."

Before Shi could even speak, Bao Qing shouted, "You investigate us!"
