After returning to Yandu from the northwest, it seems that not much has changed.
Shiye looked at the clean room. It was the same as before she left. It was familiar yet strange. As for Xia Yun's door next door, it was tightly closed. After a moment, Tong Muzhen's voice rang out downstairs: "Xiaoye, it's time to eat!"
Shi also withdrew his gaze and just took two steps towards the stairs when he saw Xiao Yue coming out of the study.
He raised his eyes to look at Makiya, walked towards her, glanced at the room behind her, and asked softly, "Are you used to it?"
Shi also chuckled: "It's much better than the Northwest. At least I don't have to live in a room with forty people."
Hearing this, Xiao Yue paused, and suddenly remembered that on the day when Shiye first arrived in the northwest, he brought people to the dormitory, which led to many accidents later. At this time, Shiye interrupted his thoughts, and she raised her chin slightly towards the study: "What did Uncle Xiao ask you? It's time to eat soon, the first reunion dinner since returning. You haven't said anything you shouldn't say yet, right?"
Xiao Yue looked at her, the tenderness in his eyes spreading to the corners of his eyes: "No."
The door of the study opened, and Xiao Fengnian came out. When he saw Xiao Yue and Shi Ye standing together and whispering, he was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and then said, "Ah Yue, Xiao Ye, let's go downstairs for dinner."
Shi was also very sensitive to people's emotions. She could see that Xiao Fengnian was unhappy without even asking.
She half-closed her eyes, a little confused. It seemed that Xiao Fengnian didn't want Xiao Yue to get too close to her?
Thinking of this, Shi also sighed. As she thought, things with Xiao Yue were not going so smoothly. The apparent peace of the Xiao family would soon be pushed to an irreversible climax with the mystery of their life experience and the marriage report between Xiao Yue and her. By then, the dispute would be a small matter. On the other hand, if the incident happened to Xia Yun, she would not have such troubles.
Perhaps, this is what the system calls the heroine's lucky luck, but unfortunately, she doesn't have it.
She is just a supporting actress in the control group, but she wants to be with the male lead. It would be strange if everything goes smoothly.
Suddenly, her fingers were wrapped by a pair of warm and dry hands. Shi paused for a moment, and when she looked up, she met Xiao Yue's dark eyes. They were bottomless, but reflected her figure. He said, "Don't be afraid."
Just as Shi was about to say "I'm not afraid", Xiao Yue held her hand tightly and walked downstairs.
The two of them walked downstairs, holding hands, and were setting up the dishes in the restaurant when Tong Muzhen heard the voices. She looked up with a smile and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, I've been waiting for you. I made your favorite dishes today, including..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and the huge house suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it was a little scary.
Xiao Fengnian came out of the kitchen with the meal in his hand and looked up. His eyes swept across the clasped hands of Xiao Yue and Shi Ye. He paused for a moment but remained calm. He put the bowl of rice on the table and said in a deep voice, "Come and eat."
Shi also glanced at Xiao Yue. He was very calm from beginning to end, and did not look the least bit embarrassed as someone who brought his girlfriend home.
Xiao Yue walked steadily, pulling Shi Ye all the way to the dining table and seated him next to him.
At this time, Tong Muzhen finally came back to her senses. Her big red lips grew so big that they could almost swallow a duck egg.
"You, you guys, this, I, I you..." Tong Muzhen rubbed her eyes, stammering and unable to utter a complete word. Then she took a breath and looked at Xiao Yue and Shi Ye as if she was watching some "ghost story".
Xiao Yue was not lying at all. He sat down next to Shi Ye and said calmly, "It is just like what you see. I have submitted the marriage application. When I return to the northwest after my vacation, it should be approved."
The chopsticks in Tong Muzhen's hand fell on the table. She turned to look at Xiao Fengnian, looking helpless.
Xiao Fengnian looked at Xiao Yue with a gloomy look in his eyes. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Comrade Xiao Yue, Xiao Ye went to the northwest to join the team so that you can take care of her more often, not so that you can take advantage of her. If others knew that I took in Lao Xia's two daughters and ended up benefiting my own son, how would they view me?!"
As he finished speaking, Xiao Fengnian's tone became more angry. If it weren't for his upbringing, he would have almost slammed the table.
Hearing this, Shi also looked up at Xiao Fengnian with a strange look in his eyes.
If she hadn't experienced her past life, she would believe what Xiao Fengnian said. But in her past life, Xia Yun wanted Xiao Yue but couldn't get him. She didn't believe that the two of them would be together in the end without Xiao Fengnian's handiwork. So, Xia Yun can do it, but she can't?
If you think about it carefully, it is normal for Xiao Fengnian to think like this. After all, she is not Xia Sheng's biological daughter, but Xia Yun is.
According to her understanding, when her mother Sheng Wei wanted to marry Xia Sheng, Xiao Fengnian did not agree. Firstly, Sheng Wei was also born into a capitalist family and there was a severe crackdown at that time. Their marriage would seriously affect Xia Sheng's future.
However, Xia Sheng was persistent. He would rather retire than leave his army and marry Sheng Wei. Finally, with the efforts of many parties, Sheng Wei was able to marry Xia Sheng and move into the naval compound. However, Xia Sheng's future was affected. He was originally going to be promoted, but in the end he lost the chance and could only continue to serve as Xiao Fengnian's adjutant. This was somewhat of a hurdle.
Although she thought about it, she didn't intend to say much and just left everything to Xiao Yue.
From the moment he agreed to marry her, things were heading in an uncontrollable direction. However, from Xiao Yue's expression, it could be seen that he had already thought about it, so there was no need for her to worry. There was always a way to solve any problem.
"Dad, I really like Makiya. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
"Since I was little, you taught me to be responsible. Since I have already said that I want to marry Makiya, no matter what anyone says, I will not be shaken. I pursue her, I like her, and I want to be with her, so I will be responsible to the end."
Xiao Yue's voice was gentle. He turned his head and glanced at Shi Ye while speaking, and his dark pupils were tinged with tenderness.
"You!" Xiao Fengnian was so angry that his face turned blue. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "So, you had already planned to marry the boy from the Zhou family, so you let your mother say no?"
This is a matter of principle, which he cannot accept. Besides, Xiao Yue's attitude is to inform, not to ask.
He didn't understand why his gentle and polite son seemed like a different person after he suddenly came home on vacation.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fengnian looked at Shi Ye beside him with complicated eyes. She was sitting quietly, with no special expression on her face. She didn't look at anyone, like an outsider, even though he was refuting their feelings at the moment.
He actually had no ill feelings towards Shi Ye, and he even admired her. Everything she had experienced in the Northwest would have frightened an ordinary person so much that they would have applied to return home long ago, but she did not. Whether it was the plague, being kidnapped by the Annan people, or the Yunling mine-clearing mission, she completed them all successfully, and her military rank was promoted again and again. You know, she was still young, only nineteen years old!
