"Here you are, I'll help serve the dishes."

Chu Jiaojiao skipped and hopped to the kitchen door.

The people behind her looked at Chu Jiaojiao and laughed; she was still just a child.

Nothing could make a few foodies happier than food, and today Gu Yanting brought over some fine wine.

After everyone was seated, Xia Yiyang quickly filled their cups.

Even Fang Qiong and Gu Si were not missed.

"Come on, let's start with one."

Come on, come on!

"ha."

"This wine smells wonderful."

Chu Jiaojiao smacked her lips after finishing her drink.

"If it tastes good, have a glass. Good wine won't give you a headache the next day."

Fang Qiong said to Chu Jiaojiao with a smile.

"Yangyang, fill your sister's cup," Gu Si said to his son.

"Here it is." A glass was refilled.

Xia Yiyang refilled everyone's glasses, and then refilled his own as well.

Chu Xingyue said, "Xiao Yang, drink less and sleep at my place tonight."

Xia Yiyang only poured herself a small portion; her sister's words were like a sacred decree, and she had no doubts whatsoever.

That evening, Gu Yanting and Xia Lin both drank quite a bit. Xia Yiyang helped his aunt Fang Qiong help Gu Yanting back home, while Chu Xingyue helped Gu Si upstairs.

When Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao went downstairs, Gu Si wanted to follow, but Chu Xingyue stopped him.

"Aunt, you and Uncle should get some rest. We'll tidy up downstairs. We'll close the door behind us when we leave."

Gu Si was not polite either.

"Alright, I'm going to take care of your uncle. You guys go downstairs and finish tidying up, then go back and rest early."

"Okay," Chu Xingyue closed the door for Gu Si and went downstairs with Chu Jiaojiao to tidy up.

When Xia Yiyang returned, Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao had almost finished packing.

"Sis, you can leave the trash there. I'll take it with me when we leave."

They went to the bathroom to get a mop, and the three siblings worked together to quickly clean up the downstairs area.

The lights were turned off, the door was closed, the trash was thrown away, and the two sisters stood at the intersection waiting for Xia Yiyang to come over.

"Let's go, sis."

The three siblings walked together toward Chu Xingyue.

Chu Xingyue sat cross-legged on the small sofa in the living room. The two siblings each found a place to sit down. It seemed that the older sister had something to say.

"Go to bed early tonight. We'll meet at the playground tomorrow morning and go on a mission together. Uncle Gu has already asked the principal for leave."

"Sister, can I do this?" Xia Yiyang asked after a moment's hesitation.

"Why not? You need to practice. Tomorrow will be a great opportunity. Don't worry, Jiaojiao and I will be here."

Chu Xingyue comforted Xia Yiyang, seeing her younger brother's slightly nervous expression and knowing he was a little scared, but as a soldier, he always had to go on missions, and everyone has a first time.

"You guys get some rest. I'll go to the dorm and tell Zhou Yu and the others." After saying that, Chu Xingyue got up.

After replying "Okay," the two quickly washed up and went back to their room to sleep.

When Chu Xingyue arrived at the dormitory entrance, the soldier on duty spotted her.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Chu, is something the matter so late?"

"Could you please call Zhou Yu, Jiang Yu, and Yang Run for me?"

"Okay, please wait in the lounge next door for a moment, I'll go and call them."

Chu Xingyue stood in the lounge, her mind preoccupied with tomorrow's plans.

"Squad leader, you were looking for us?" The three of them bumped into each other downstairs and knew it was the squad leader who was looking for them. They were wondering if something was wrong when they saw the squad leader looking at them calmly, with no discernible expression on his face.

"How is Chen Zhongbin?" Chu Xingyue asked Yang Run, as they shared a dormitory.

"You drank a glass of water before you came and now you're asleep again."

"Hmm, that means everything's alright."

Chu Xingyue looked at the three of them.

"Get some rest tonight. Come with me on the mission tomorrow morning. I'll explain the details of the mission on the way."

"Yes," the three exchanged a glance, then immediately straightened their chests and replied.

"This mission is highly confidential, and I don't want to hear about it from anyone other than you. If it leaks out, you will be court-martialed."

"yes."

The three of them instantly understood the importance of tomorrow's mission and made no attempt to be ambiguous.

"I'm going back now. You guys get some rest. There will be a car taking us to the back mountain at 7 a.m. tomorrow. This is your first mission, and I don't want you to let me down halfway through." Chu Xingyue's eyes were like sharp swords piercing the hearts of the three of them.

"must."

"Going back."

After Chu Xingyue finished speaking, she turned and went back.

The three of them finally exhaled as Chu Xingyue stepped out the door.

They had only ever experienced that look in their squad leader's eyes from their own fathers and brothers; it was a pair of bloodshot eyes that seemed to have crawled out of a corpse, sending chills down their spines.

The three who returned whispered a secret to the others who hadn't come. They didn't notice Chu Xingyue's eyes, but they were quite excited, so much so that they couldn't sleep that night. Fu Jingcheng tossed and turned in bed when Jiang Yu, who had gotten out, kicked the bed board.

"Go to sleep quickly, there are maggots on your body, they're wriggling around."

"Sleep, sleep, just sleep."

Zhou Yu and the others, each with their own thoughts, gradually drifted into a dream.

When Xia Lin came back yesterday, Lao Liu received a notification that someone was going on a mission. When the group met in the cafeteria before dawn, they found out that it was the group of guys going on the mission together.

He prepared dried meat for everyone to eat.

When they arrived, Gu Yanting and Xia Lin were also there.

Upon seeing the two high-ranking military leaders approaching, everyone stood up.

"Sit down, sit down and eat properly."

After saying that, he also poured himself a bowl of porridge and took an egg.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat."

Chu Xingyue rebuked him sternly.

Everyone lowered their heads and quickly ate the breakfast on their plates.

"Let's go over and organize our equipment first."

Chu Xingyue greeted Gu Yanting and Xia Lin and then led everyone directly to the car prepared for them at the entrance.

The mountain behind the military region is a military airfield.

The logistics team prepared everything they needed overnight, and they need to check all the equipment before they go there.

Chu Xingyue leaned against the car with her arms crossed, her slightly closed eyes obscuring her expression.

When Zhou Yu and his group saw Chu Jiaojiao and Xia Yiyang in the cafeteria, they wondered if the siblings were on a mission with them.

After getting on the bus, I confirmed my suspicions; it was indeed true.

Chu Jiaojiao and Xia Yiyang were beside her, and neither of them showed any of the playful and carefree attitude they had when they were drinking yesterday.

The aura emanating from Chu Jiaojiao and Xia Yiyang, which they were seeing, was no less than that of any of them, and Chu Jiaojiao's aura was even stronger than that of any of them.

Thinking back to the match yesterday morning, they should have realized that they couldn't treat Chu Jiaojiao as just a simple military academy student. She was the youngest among them, and like their squad leader, she was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Chu Xingyue is the alpha wolf among their group.
