Qi Ye left home and headed straight for the military compound. To be honest, when someone has a criminal record, you will unconsciously associate every bad thing that happens to you with that person.
Adding to the matter of Shen Huixiu, Qi Ye felt even more strongly that this kind of person had absolutely no bottom line or moral compass. What wouldn't they do for money?
"Platoon leader?" Wang Luo was a little stunned when he saw Qi Ye return. "Why are you back at this time? Didn't the higher-ups already give you leave?"
"I can't stay idle, I come back to visit more often."
"Still can't sit still, huh?" Wang Luo chuckled. "Don't try to scold me. Everyone who went to your wedding banquet last time said that your new wife is young and beautiful. Why isn't she indulging in her sweet embrace? Why is she running to us rough old men?"
Qi Ye glanced at him sideways, "You're surprisingly well-informed."
"Well, it's mainly about this. It's hard to say. There are just too many bachelors around here. If someone gets married and has a baby, it'll become the talk of the town."
Speaking of trouble, Wang Luo suddenly remembered, "By the way, what's going on with Zhou Yueya? She's still clinging to you no matter what."
It can't be mentioned; just thinking about it gives Qi Ye a headache.
What kind of sins did he commit to deserve meeting someone like that in this life? She seemed gentle and weak, easily controlled, yet utterly unreasonable, full of twisted logic and fallacies.
It's impossible to avoid it, and it's also impossible to argue with it.
"Don't even mention it. I plan to stay far away from people like that from now on. I have a wife and children now, and I'm very happy. Getting involved with people like that will only lead to a bad end."
Wang Luo's eyes lit up instantly. "Really? You're planning to keep your distance from her?"
"Is this even possible?"
"Bro, if you don't like her, then I'll go for it."
Qi Ye: "..."
His expression immediately became somewhat complicated. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I like Zhou Yueya, I just love her cute appearance."
"She has many tricks up her sleeve. Even if you two get together, she can still manipulate you if she wants to."
After all, Zhou Yueya only started to be cunning after he almost suffered a loss.
Wang Luo naturally didn't take it seriously. In his eyes, women were beneath him; they couldn't possibly accomplish anything great, and were just petty jealous tricks.
That's what he was thinking, and that's how he expressed his attitude.
Qi Ye's gaze towards Wang Luo was naturally somewhat complicated upon seeing this.
However, the two weren't that close. Otherwise, Wang Luo would have gone to the dinner party when Qi Ye invited him. Since they were comrades-in-arms, Qi Ye could only give a simple reminder: "I advise you to be careful and not underestimate anyone around you."
After all, when a person starts to become arrogant, it means that he is about to suffer losses.
Wang Luo remained unconcerned. Faced with Qi Ye's brief but perfunctory advice, he merely chuckled. Then he casually replied, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. If she likes to play tricks, I don't mind playing along."
"Anyway, we'll all be family from now on, so why distinguish between you and me? Making things so clear will only create distance."
Qi Ye: "..."
She really is incredibly stubborn.
It's hard to reason with a damned devil.
He will pay the price for his arrogance one day.
"Alright," Qi Ye smiled, "then I wish you good luck and hope you get married soon."
After saying that, he looked past Wang Luo and peered behind him, "By the way, where did the battalion commander go?"
"Didn't I hear he's already back from visiting relatives in his hometown?"
"He's back, he's inside now. What do you want to see him about?"
Wang Luo looked on with curiosity, and Qi Ye chuckled, "It's nothing, it's just that I invited the battalion commander to my wedding banquet last time, so I missed it. I was just thinking of inviting him again."
The matter concerning Wang Xingda was of great importance, and Qi Ye did not want outsiders to know too much about it.
If some unfounded gossip gets out, it would be bad to alert the enemy.
Therefore, when he spoke with the battalion commander, not wanting others to know, he made up a reason on the spot without thinking it through at all.
"Hahahaha," Wang Luo said with envy, "You have a good relationship with the battalion commander. You're lucky!"
You should know that this battalion commander was newly arrived, and he was very ruthless when he came in, dealing with several unruly people. A new broom sweeps clean.
These three fires were swift, accurate, and ruthless.
Despite his usual cold and aloof manner, he spoke to Qi Ye in a very polite and courteous manner. Later, an insider quietly revealed that the two were old acquaintances.
As for the wedding banquet, that's all ancient history. It's fortunate that they don't consider themselves important; it's just a pretext they made up.
"Looks like he's going to get promoted again."
Qi Ye smiled without saying a word, avoiding answering, but simply greeted Wang Luo with a smile and then left.
People with different principles cannot work together.
Those who are arrogant and look down on others will eventually be taken advantage of; this is an age-old truth.
Moreover, Wang Luo is too good at scheming.
When things are going well, his eyes are full of smiles, but once his expression changes, he becomes difficult to deal with.
Qi Ye thought for a moment and then pulled himself out of his thoughts.
Pushing open the door, Battalion Commander Xu Chendong was already sitting inside. Upon seeing Qi Ye, a smile instantly appeared on Xu Chendong's face. "Oh, you even know how to open this door?"
Qi Ye felt completely relaxed. He first gave Xu Chendong a proper salute, and then grinned, "Squad leader, I don't like hearing you say that."
"Hahahaha, you little rascal, which of my words do you want to hear?" Xu Chendong heard Qi Ye call him class monitor, and his tone was somewhat nostalgic and sentimental. "Time really flies. Six or seven years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Looking at the handsome and dashing Qi Ye, Xu Chendong couldn't help but think of when he first arrived. He was thin and small, barely any flesh on his body, yet his eyes were fierce, like a wolf cub.
He took a liking to her at first sight and then kept her by his side to take care of her.
"Sit down, don't just stand there."
"well!"
The two have known each other for many years, and Xu Chendong's influence on Qi Ye is different. He played an indispensable role in Qi Ye's growth.
Xu Chendong was seven or eight years older than Qi Ye, and he had acted as both a father and an older brother to Qi Ye on the battlefield.
This time is no exception.
"Squad leader, I got married."
"Yes, I know about that."
Xu Chendong also found this somewhat unbelievable. He had introduced this disobedient brat to plenty of young and beautiful girls before, with all shapes and sizes.
Cultured or uncultured, artistic or shrewish, mild-mannered—anyone with resources at his disposal would eagerly throw them into Qi Ye's arms.
But they weren't willing.
Let's not even talk about not seeing a single one.
Even if they met, they wouldn't be satisfied until they completely ruined the blind date. They stood there like cold, lifeless wood, utterly devoid of human warmth. But now…
