Chapter 654: Getting Too Far

Zhou Zixu knew his elder brother's character. If he said no, then there must be no.

However, the uneasiness in his heart did not disappear because of his words. Instead, it made him even more irritated.

"Captain Zhou, I would like to ask for a leave."

He looked at his watch. It was a little after three in the afternoon. His unit was not far from the art troupe, and it would be quick to drive there and back.

"no."

Zhou Zisong refused coldly, saying that as a battalion commander he had to set an example and could not just leave whenever he wanted.

"I have something urgent to do. If you won't let me go, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Zixu's rebellious temper flared up again, his brows were furrowed, and there was impatience in his voice.

"I don't need to tell you."

A hint of icy coldness flashed in Zhou Zisong's deep cold eyes. His younger brother had been going too far recently. He always confronted him at every turn and now wanted to interfere with his actions.

We really can't tolerate this, he's getting too demanding.

"Ha, fine, you won't be able to control me after training tonight."

Zhou Zixu took two steps back, raised one corner of his mouth, smiled wickedly, and looked at his elder brother with unfriendly eyes.

"go back."

Zhou Zisong gave the order in a cold voice, his whole body began to emanate a coldness that kept people at a distance, and his gaze towards Zhou Zixu became even more fierce.

It seemed that if Zhou Zixu dared to speak again, he would definitely punish him severely.

"yes."

Zhou Zixu saluted him lazily and walked back to the training ground with his long legs.

But now I don’t even have the interest to do weighted cross-country running.

I keep looking at my watch, but it seems like the hands aren’t moving today?

After waiting for a long time for the military training to be over, he could go home.

He couldn't go to the art troupe at night, so he drove directly to his aunt's house. As long as Sihui had something to ask, he would be able to find out by asking his aunt.

He hasn't been to his aunt's house for a long time. He can't go to see his aunt empty-handed, because there is also his uncle!

So I ran to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought two bottles of white wine and a pack of cigarettes, wrapped them in newspaper and put them on the back seat of the car.

My aunt’s house is not too far away, and it only takes half an hour to drive there, even though the road is slippery due to snow.

"Is my aunt home?"

He got out of the car with the gifts, knocked on his aunt's door and shouted loudly inside.

"What do you want to do to break down my door?"

My uncle had a kind smile on his face and teased Zhou Zixu.

"No, I just miss my uncle. I can't wait to see you, so I was a little anxious when I knocked on the door."

Zhou Zixu smiled and chatted with his uncle, then looked around for his aunt as soon as he entered the house.

"You are such a sweet talker. You are here to see your aunt, yet you are using me as an excuse."

Zhou Zixu's uncle pointed at him and laughed and scolded him. He liked Zhou Zixu very much. He was sweet-talker and good at dealing with people. Every time he came to see him, he brought gifts.

"Where's my aunt?"

Zhou Zixu took off his military cap with a smile and did not argue. They were all family members and no one would really pick on him.

Since I was anxious to ask about my aunt's situation, I couldn't just laugh it off with a smooth talk.

"She's under review and can't come back tonight."

Zhou Zixu's uncle also looked worried when talking about this matter, even though his wife told him not to worry.

Having said that, he still missed her.

"Why?"

Zhou Zixu stood up suddenly and said that something was wrong today. He didn’t expect that something happened to his aunt?

"The details are still under investigation, so she can't say."

Zhou Zixu's uncle lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and exhaled slowly.

"I understand, uncle. I'll go back and ask my dad first."

Zhou Zixu stood up and said goodbye to his uncle. It was useless to ask further.

"Okay, I'll call you if I have any news. Don't tell your grandfather. He's not in good health. Your aunt has repeatedly told me so."

"I know. Go back and find out the situation. I'll call you if I have any news."
