"Yeah, we came back in such a hurry, and without informing anyone, otherwise we could have come back together."
A gentle and polite voice sounded, and Jiang Zishan walked in from outside, took off his military coat casually, and looked at Xiao Yue and Shi Ye who were sitting at the table like a family. His eyes were slightly deep, but his face was smiling, and he looked like they were very easy to get along with.
Shi also took a mouthful of rice, too lazy to even lift his eyelids, thinking secretly in his heart, as expected, the dog-skin plaster either doesn't come back, or two of them come back, one or two, just like the ghost from hell, haha, really annoying.
Tong Muzhen, who was following closely behind, was slightly startled when she heard Jiang Zishan's familiar words, and her expression was a little surprised.
The Jiang family is not in the Navy compound, but they also have a prominent status in Yandu. However, they have never had any dealings with the Xiao family in the past. I didn't expect them to be so polite on their first visit. Their words also revealed their familiarity with Xiao Yue and Shi Ye, not like strangers.
She quickly calmed down and chuckled, "What a coincidence that you're all back today. Haven't you eaten yet? Come and sit down. We've just started. I'll give you two sets of bowls and chopsticks. Eat here. Don't complain about my poor cooking skills."
Jiang Zishan naturally would not be too arrogant in front of his elders, even though he knew that Zi Shi had a bad relationship with the Xiao family in his previous life.
He nodded to Tong Muzhen and said gently, "I'm sorry to bother you."
Tong Muzhen waved her hand, glanced at Jiang Zishan and Xia Yun, and then went into the kitchen.
As soon as she left, the atmosphere between the four of them became extremely tense, even to the point of being on the verge of a showdown.
Xia Yun seemed to have returned to her own territory. She sat down directly opposite Xiao Yue without any hesitation and curled her lips: "Brother Xiao Yue, how long will you stay at home after your vacation? Where is Uncle Xiao? Does he know you are back?"
She acted as if she was very familiar with Xiao Yue, and while speaking, she glanced at Shi Ye.
She is very good at dealing with men. As long as she shows her affection for them, Xiao Yue will fall for her sooner or later. After all, with her face and body, even she would be fascinated when she looks in the mirror, let alone a normal man?
Shi Ye could see through her little tricks, she was just trying to provoke her, just some insignificant little tricks.
This Xia Yun, luckily, has been reborn twice. It seems that she was indeed locked up in a cowshed for her entire life in her previous life. She didn't make much progress. She started all over again, but still used such inferior methods, which was laughable.
If she and Xiao Yue had just started dating and not so many things had happened in between, perhaps she would have really been suspicious. Unfortunately, Xia Yun didn't know that Xiao Yue was also a reborn person, and didn't know that the latter remembered what she had done in her previous life and felt deeply disgusted.
Just for this reason, Xiao Yue would never be able to fall in love with Xia Yun. No matter how much she said, it would be like throwing a wink to a blind man.
"Eat some meat." Xiao Yue reached out to put some vegetables into Shi Ye's bowl, as if he didn't hear Xia Yun's words.
Xia Yun's face froze, and she said hesitantly, "Brother Xiao Yue, the person you grew up with is me."
She spent a lot of time and effort when writing the male protagonist, and even wrote that the two of them were childhood sweethearts just to have the advantage of being close to him. If Xiao Yue hadn't gotten into trouble, they would have definitely been able to get together in the end. It's a pity, but even so, Xiao Yue shouldn't have had this attitude towards her. After all, her father Xia Sheng was Xiao Fengnian's adjutant, and Shi was just a gift from Sheng Wei.
Xiao Yue didn't understand such an obvious truth as the relationship between close and distant relatives. No wonder he ended up in such a miserable state in his previous life!
Xia Yun was filled with indignation. Looking at Di Ye's dull appearance, she felt even more uncomfortable. Is this Xiao Yue blind?
Even though Jiang Zishan had such deep feelings for Shi because of what happened in his previous life, after she got the beauty system in this life, she could clearly feel the difference in Jiang Zishan's treatment of her. This is the power of beauty, but why couldn't Xiao Yue see it?
Jiang Zishan and Xia Yun were now considered "allies". Seeing that Xiao Yue was not giving him face, he went forward and sat down next to Xia Yun, just opposite to Shi Ye. He looked up at the latter and said, "Captain Xiao, this attitude towards female comrades is not right. What's more, Xia Yun was personally taken home by Chief of Staff Xiao Shen. It's not possible for him to say nothing, right?"
As soon as these almost sarcastic words came out, Xia Yun's eyes turned red, and she wiped her tears and murmured, "Brother Xiao Yue..."
Xiao Yue still pretended not to hear it, but Shi Ye could not tolerate them joining forces to deal with Xiao Yue.
Shi also chuckled: "When did Comrade Jiang know so much about the Xiao family? Did Xia Yun tell you?"
Jiang Zishan and Xia Yun's faces changed. Tong Muzhen happened to come out at this time. She also heard what was said. Her expression did not change much, but her eyes became much lighter. She glanced at Xia Yun and said, "You guys sit down first. I'll go call them back."
After saying that, Tong Muzhen went out with a gloomy face. With the sound of the door closing with a bang, the atmosphere in the room fell into stagnation.
Xia Yun's face turned pale, biting her lip and said, "Xiao Ye, I don't know why you hate me so much... If my parents weren't dead, we would be sisters. What good will it do you if you say this and let my aunt misunderstand me?"
Hearing this, Shi also propped up his chin and looked at Xia Yun with interest: "Misunderstood you? What did Auntie misunderstand about you? Did she misunderstand that you were spreading the Xiao family's affairs outside? Or did she misunderstand that your relationship with Comrade Jiang Zishan was not clean?"
When it comes to talking, Xia Yun is no match for Shi Ye at all. Upon hearing this, her face became gloomy.
Jiang Zishan paused and saw that Shiye had a strange expression. He discovered when he was heading to the northwest that Shiye was very different from her previous life, not only in appearance, but also in temperament. She was obviously a gentle and kind person who would not get angry with anyone, but in this life she was like a prickly hedgehog, always making sarcastic remarks. Could it be because of her different experiences?
"I, that's not what I meant!" Xia Yun gritted her teeth, but her eyes unconsciously looked at Xiao Yue.
Her current mission target is Xiao Yue, so naturally she has to always pay attention to the latter's attitude towards her and prepare to complete the mission.
If she rashly left the Northwest Frontier Defense Camp, even with the help of Jiang Zishan, it would not be easy for her to go back. If she stayed in Yandu, she would not be assigned any tasks. She could not afford the serious consequences.
Therefore, she must complete the mission before Xiao Yue returns to the Northwest. As long as she is with him, returning to the Northwest will be easy.
After all, Xiao Yue has become a deputy division-level officer, and a further step is to become a chief. Even if he is not the real "crown prince" of the Xiao family, he is fully capable of making her the wife of a commander-in-chief earlier. After all, background is not important in this era.
Moreover, Xiao Yue has returned safely from Yunling. He is no longer lame and disfigured. This is the reason why she finally made up her mind to follow the system mission and follow Xiao Yue back. After all, the reward given after completing the mission is also very generous.
