Xiao Yue paused, turned his head and stared at her, with a clear smile on his lips, which in just a few breaths were filled with tiny specks of light.

He said, "Don't worry, no matter who it is, they can't influence my mind."

Shi also blinked and chuckled, "Since Deputy Commander Xiao has said so, what should I worry about?"

With such a teasing, the military vehicle crossed the small road and returned to the prosperous Yandu.

Shiye had lived in Yandu all his life in his previous life, so he was naturally familiar with the place, and the layout of the furnishings on the street corners and alleys was particularly clear to him.

Yandu Naval Compound.

It has been several months since he went to the Northwest Frontier Defense Corps to join the team. Although he had talked to Tong Muzhen on the phone several times, the situation was different this time when he came back. Thinking about what Xiao Yue was going to say later, Shi felt embarrassed and turned around to glance at him secretly.

Xiao Yue's expression was as calm as ever, and there was even a hint of coldness at the corners of his eyes, making him look unhappy.

"Nervous?" Shi also asked in a low voice. She really didn't know what Xiao Yue looked like when he was nervous.

Xiao Yue pursed his lips and said in a cool and calm voice: "I'm not nervous, I'm just dazed."

Ever since the dreams started to bother him, he has reduced the number of vacations he takes in Yandu. This time, he really has to face it. He feels dazed as if he doesn't know what day it is. He isn't nervous at all. It's just that the original fact has been exposed. What is there to be nervous about?

Many of the things that we experience in dreams are difficult for many people to experience in their lifetime.

All the storms have passed, there is really no need to be nervous. Besides, it is just history repeating itself.

Xiao Yue showed his officer ID and the military vehicle slowly drove into the naval compound.

Although he hadn't been back for a long time, Xiao Yue was still very familiar with the place where he grew up, and he arrived at the Xiao family in a moment.

It was still the familiar row of three rooms. The yard didn't look like other families' yards where crops were grown. Instead, it was filled with beautiful flower pots. Many of them were empty due to the cold. Only two pots contained two beautifully trimmed plum plants, which were fragrant.

These were all planted by Tong Muzhen, a capitalist's daughter who pays the most attention to the mood of life.

The two got out of the car. Xiao Yue stood at the gate of the yard and looked around. After a while, he lowered his eyelids and took out the prepared local specialties from the trunk of the military vehicle. These were all his gifts. The guard in the house heard the noise and came out first.

Hearing the door open, Xiao Yue looked over and saw the familiar guard. He chuckled and said, "Uncle Zhao."

Zhao Tianqing looked at Xiao Yue in shock, then he was surprised and delighted, and shouted loudly: "A Yue is back!"

He shouted into the house again: "Chief of Staff! Ah Yue is back from the northwest!"

After saying that, Zhao Tianqing strode forward, looked at Xiao Yue, his eyes moistened, and patted his shoulder heavily: "Good boy, you dared to go to the Yunling minefield without telling your father, do you know how scared the chief of staff was?"

Xiao Yue curled his lips but didn't say anything else because Xiao Fengnian and Tong Muzhen had already rushed out of the room.

The two were considered well-known figures in this naval compound. The moment they heard that their son had returned, they lost their composure and became more anxious than the other. When they saw Xiao Yue, their eyes turned red.

Tong Muzhen was still dressed fashionably and beautifully. She pushed aside Xiao Fengnian and crossed the yard. As soon as she came out, she punched Xiao Yue in the chest heavily and said viciously, "You little brat have grown wings. You didn't even report to your mother when you went to the minefield? You actually dared to go home. I will beat you to death! I let you do what you want, let you be brave and fierce, but you don't know how much you weigh!"

Although she said so, Tong Muzhen couldn't bear to use any harsh measures. As she spoke, tears began to fall.

She grabbed Xiao Yue's arm, looked him up and down, and choked up, "Tell me, why are you so disobedient? You're already an adult, but you still make your mother worry. Do you know that I haven't slept well in a few days? There wasn't even a phone call to report safety. I heard from the northwest that two comrades died in the minefield. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night."

Seeing Tong Muzhen's worried expression, Xiao Yue's throat slid for a moment and he said softly, "I'm fine."

Hearing this, Tong Muzhen's eyebrows were raised, and she immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "Are you trying to piss me off to death? You don't even call me mom when you come back?"

Xiao Yue paused, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Fengnian's voice, which sounded a little shocked: "Xiao Ye?"

Tong Muzhen was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Shi Ye who was standing not far from Xiao Yue. After not seeing her for a few months, the little girl seemed to have grown taller and her hair had grown longer. However, the long and bumpy journey made her look a little tired, but overall she looked more beautiful.

"You brought Xiaoye back? Why didn't you call in advance?" Tong Muzhen screamed, and then went over and hugged Shiye in her arms, calling him her darling all the time. She didn't even care about Xiao Yue and directly pulled him into the house.

Shi also blinked and looked at Tong Muzhen, who was full of pity: "Aunt, are you not angry anymore?"

She was watching Tong Muzhen getting angry at Xiao Yue and seemed quite addicted to it, so why did she calm down the next moment?

Tong Muzhen reached out and touched Shiye's face, sighing softly, "I'm relieved that you can come back safely. What's there to be angry about? Xiao Yue didn't say anything, but you actually kept it a secret. You were kidnapped by the Annan people and suffered such a great injustice, but you didn't say anything. Xiaoye, you've suffered a lot. There is also the Yunling mission. If it weren't for you, Ah Yue would probably... You kid..."

Tong Muzhen was not a sentimental person, but the news coming back from the Northwest made it difficult for her to remain calm.

She also didn't expect that this little girl who was not conspicuous and even a little honest in the compound, would go to the Northwest and participate in so many major events, and even become famous for developing plague antibiotics.

Shi also looked up at Tong Muzhen and sighed slightly in his heart.

Speaking of which, Xiao Fengnian and Tong Muzhen are indeed kind people, otherwise they would not have taken in the adjutant's daughter.

If possible, she didn't want them to be shocked so much. Sometimes knowing the truth is not necessarily a good thing.

Although she had never seen the biological child of the Xiao family who was left outside, she had heard about the latter being recognized and living a life of drinking, gambling, and smoking after returning to Yandu from Tuanjie Village. Even later, the Xiao family retired. In addition to someone's targeting and scheming, the child's disappointment was also the reason why the Xiao family withdrew sadly and no news was heard from them since then.

Sometimes she really couldn't understand it. It is said that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse gives birth to a son who can dig holes.

Xiao Yue is so outstanding, but he has such a bizarre and tragic life experience. He could obviously soar to the sky, but for various reasons he fell into the quagmire and eventually became an excuse for his family to make profits. For him, it is an indelible shame.

Thinking of this, Shi also looked back outside the house and saw Xiao Yue talking to Xiao Fengnian.

Perhaps he noticed something, he raised his eyes and met Shi Ye's gaze, just looking at him quietly, but with a gentle and accommodating look.
