For a moment, everyone's eyes were turned to a plain-looking man in gray clothes.
"What are you looking at! Don't you have anything to do?!"
"It's Chen Nan," she shouted, leaning against the window. As soon as she spoke, even those who wanted to watch the excitement closed their windows unwillingly. As for whether they actually watched or not, only those in the room knew.
The other male educated youth scratched his head awkwardly. He wanted to walk away, but thinking of Ji Hong's relationship with Xu Xiao, and Chen Nan's identity, he approached Ji Hong and said, "Ji Hong, didn't you say you were going to Captain Xu's place? Let's go now."
Zhao Ling bit her lip, tears glistening in her eyes. She didn't want to leave, but it didn't fit her image in front of others. Forced to do so, she gritted her teeth and said to Ji Hong, "Yes, Brother Ji, Captain Xu is still looking for us. We can't delay!"
Xu Xiao didn't care what they said at all. He moved aside and leaned against the wall. He even kindly reminded them, "Captain Xu doesn't like people being late."
Her grandfather, relying on his status as a team leader, always liked to play cards and even threatened an educated youth to make a marriage contract.
After they left, Xu Xi raised his head and stared at Xu Xiao with curiosity. Xu Xiao couldn't stand his scrutiny, so he threw a red notebook to him and said as he walked out, "Give this to Chen Bei and let him make a decision."
Xu Xiao really wants to take things slow. She wants to try an ordinary life with a long and peaceful life, but unfortunately there are always people who can't bear to see her live up to her wish.
Xu Xi held the household registration booklet in his trembling hands. He wanted to ask something, but Xu Xiao had already walked away. It was not good for him to hold this thing in his hands. After thinking it over, he walked to the front and knocked on a half-open window.
Chen Nan could vaguely see Xu Xiao giving something to Xu Xi, and without even looking at it, he casually said, "If Sister Xiao asked you to give it to Chen Bei, then give it to him. You don't have to worry about him."
Chen Nan flipped through a few pages, and seeing the shadow still there, she couldn't help but look up. Her eyes met the red notebook in Xu Xi's hand, and she froze for a moment. After a long moment, she finally found her voice and said, "Is this from Sister Xiao?"
Xu Xi wanted to cry but had no tears: "...What should I do about this?"
He is only responsible for delivering messages, which does not include such a suicidal mission!
Did he dare to give it to Captain Chen? No, he didn't. He even began to regret his over-active attitude.
He just wanted to avoid training, but he hadn't expected that a trip to the countryside would lead to so much trouble. He had to deliver the message and protect the two young ladies. He was wrong!
He really didn't dare to give this thing to Captain Chen!
Who is Captain Chen? He is a flower on the mountain top, a fighter among the devils, and an emotionless training machine.
He had thought Xu Xiao was trouble enough before, but he hadn't expected this man to be so crazy. What did he mean by Captain Chen's decision? It was simply arrogant!
Chen Nan wanted to take it directly, but seeing the obvious dissatisfaction on Xu Xi's face, she sat steadily: "Sister Xiao asked you to give it to Chen Bei, so just give it to him."
Xu Xi: “…”
You are Captain Chen's biological sister, but he is not! !
Xu Xi wanted to say something, but Chen Nan just stood up and closed the window: "Alright, just listen to me. Don't stay here with me, what if someone finds out?"
"..." After staring at the window for a while, Xu Xi walked out of the educated youth site with a breath of fresh air, feeling quite tragic and heroic like a hero who would never return.
Hearing the footsteps fading away, Chen Nan looked at Xu Xi's departing figure. She glanced at the book in her hand, thought for a moment, closed it, took out a piece of paper and wrote a few words before running out of the room.
Glancing at the girl beside him, Xu Xi said helplessly, "Ms. Chen, didn't you say we can't let others find out?"
Xu Xi also came from Beijing, and even from the same compound, but he didn't hang out with Chen Bei and his group.
Relying on their acquaintance, Chen Nan rolled his eyes rudely: "What dare they say? I'm just worried that you might lose Sister Xiao's things."
Xu Xi stopped, his face full of anticipation. Chen Nan quickly refused, "Impossible! This is your duty. I'm only going to see what's happening in Chenbei."
“…”
The two of them walked and bickered until they arrived at the garrison. Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Chen Nan took a deep breath and patted Xu Xi hard: "Who's that in front..."
"It's Miss Xu, it's Xu Xiao!" Xu Xi smiled, but his defense was slightly broken.
At this time, Chen Nan was not in the mood to correct his wrong address. She pulled Xu Xi aside.
"What are you doing?..." Xu Xi was caught off guard and was directly covered with her mouth and dragged away.
Hearing a slight noise, Xu Xiao turned around and saw a sparrow hop out from the bushes. She turned back and continued, "The Xu family won't let me leave. The only solution now is to transfer my household registration back to Beijing."
She no longer had any thoughts about this place, and Xu Xiao no longer had any concerns about breaking up with her.
Fang Hui nodded in agreement: "Indeed, what are you going to do about this?"
"Marriage." Xu Xiao uttered these two words expressionlessly.
If there were any other way, she would not choose this one.
Hearing Xu Xiao's words, Chen Nan's eyes subconsciously darkened. Xu Xi grabbed her and said, "Miss, please calm down! Please calm down!!"
"...Let go." Frowning, Chen Nan glanced at him and curled his lips, "What are you crazy about?"
Xu Xi didn't react much to this, and Chen Nan was just more well-behaved in front of Xu Xiao, or it could be said that the Chen brothers and sisters were only kind in front of Xu Xiao, and in fact, their tempers were worse than each other.
It wasn't that he was mad, but he knew too well what was going on between Miss Chen and the young master of the Fang family. Childhood sweethearts, but they were always at loggerheads. This kind of friendship wasn't as simple as it seemed.
After a few flattering laughs, Xu Xi winked and said, "Miss, you must not lose your composure."
"...Go give the things to Chen Bei. I'll rest here for a while."
Xu Xi understood Chen Nan's abnormality, so he had no choice but to cooperate: "Okay, you should rest more."
After Xu Xi left, Chen Nan tiptoed forward.
Before she found the person, she turned around and saw Fang Hui wearing a white robe, staring at her leisurely.
"Actually... I was just passing by." Chen Nan lowered his head guiltily.
Fang Hui raised an eyebrow in disbelief: "You've come this far?"
"Just passing by!" Chen Nan yelled. She felt embarrassed when she thought of what she heard and the complicated look in Xu Xi's eyes when he left.
Fang Hui grabbed her hand, preventing her from leaving: "Nannan, I didn't mean to leave without saying goodbye."
Chen Nan turned around, her eyes red. She tilted her head back to stop the tears from flowing out: "Then tell me."
A helpless sigh sounded above his head. Chen Nan bit his lip and let himself be hugged. The warmth spread from the palm of his hand to his limbs - it was Fang Hui's hand.
His hands were very warm, and the temperature passed through his hands to Chen Nan, and she also felt the roughness of his hands.
Looking down, he saw knife marks. Chen Nan forgot that he was still in a cold war with Fang Hui and couldn't help asking, "What happened to your hand?"
Fang Hui: "Studying medicine inevitably means working with a scalpel, so these things are fine..."
Sensing the softening of Chen Nan's tone, he quickly said, "You know my father. He thought I was hopeless and sent me abroad. Now that I think about it, he was right."
Unable to be a soldier defending his country, nor a cunning strategist, he could only work hard to learn something useful. However, he left the capital and stayed away for five years.
After hearing Fang Hui talk about his time abroad, Chen Nan stopped complaining. She knew it was all Uncle Fang's arrangement. She was only angry that Fang Hui never wrote back, making her wait so long.
Glancing at the two people who were almost reconciled, Chen Bei held the red notebook in his hand and looked down at Xu Xiao who was sitting on the small stool: "So, you came here just for them?"
Seeing the things Xu Xi sent over, he ran out without thinking, and was stopped by Xu Xiao. She said, "Brother Bei, do you have a small stool?"
The army is a place for training, how could there be such things? But Chen Bei ran back like a fool, clutching the little red notebook tightly, rushing around inside. It was only his new adjutant who stopped him and found him a small stool.
Then he ran out again in a daze.
Watching Chen Nan and Fang Hui pouring their hearts out to each other, he finally calmed down and even became a little silent.
All along, he had forgotten one thing, which was that he had never expressed his feelings.
Perhaps, in Xu Xiao's heart, he is not as important as that girl Chen Nan.
When he thought of this, Chen Bei felt that he had no strength left. The thing in his hand was too heavy, so heavy that he tried hard to hold it, but he just couldn't hold it steady.
Xu Xiao held his face in his hands and asked in confusion, "What did you say?"
She had been paying attention to the situation on Chen Nan's side, and she really didn't hear clearly what Chen Bei said.
In their previous life, Chen Nan and Fang Hui missed each other. Xu Xiao felt it was a pity, but she only provided an opportunity for them to clear up the misunderstanding.
As for what happens next, she will not interfere.
The warning given to her in her previous life was so profound, so profound that she could never forget it.
If you interfere with other people's cause and effect, you will be responsible.
Chen Bei repeated it, and he looked away, not daring to look at Xu Xiao again.
It was his fault, so he couldn't blame Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiaoke had no idea what he was thinking. Seeing that Chen Bei didn't want to see her, and remembering the word "adjutant" she had heard from the guard, the corners of her lips curled up in self-mockery, and she sneered, "That's not the case. I originally wanted Brother Bei to help me, but now it seems that you don't want to help me."
She stretched out her hand: "Give it to me, Brother Bei."
Chen Bei's depressed mood was swept away. He walked forward and squatted in front of Xu Xiao: "You, what did you just say?"
Xu Xiao was already a little impatient: "Brother Bei, I was the one who disturbed you before."
It seems that she was bragging.
It’s not that she gave up on Chen Bei first, but that Chen Bei had already made his choice.
Adjutant, it seems he is the same person from his previous life.
Tsk, quite infatuated.
Xu Xiao was not angry about this, she just felt that she was inconsiderate in this matter and it was not good for Chen Bei.
Holding back a breath of depressed anger, Xu Xiao suddenly stood up and glared at Chen Bei with the same condescending eyes: "Give me the notebook, I have to go back to the educated youth center."
There was no sign of dawn in the sky, and there were few people living near the garrison. She and Chen Nan had to hurry back to the educated youth site.
After returning from the back mountain, the depression had been suppressed for so long that Xu Xiao could hardly hide it.
She looked at Chen Bei with a cold expression, without the respect she had in the past, nor the sudden emotion that had arisen from her rebirth. It was as if she was looking at a stranger, cold and distant.
Chen Bei stood up and suddenly laughed out loud, his eyes sparkling: "A Xiao, are you angry?"
She was not angry at first, but after he said that, Xu Xiao seemed to wake up, and the tragedy of her previous life rushed to her.
Xu Xiao gritted his teeth and said in a dull voice, "Give it back to me!"
It was a vent of anger, but she just wanted to do it.
Chen Bei stretched out his hand and waved it, then quickly put it behind his back. In his hand was a brightly colored notebook: "Xu Xi will take you back. I will arrange your return to Beijing."
As an honest man who had seen the whole scene, Xu Xi could only say: "Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely escort them back safely!"
“…”
"Chen Bei, what do you mean?" Xu Xiao looked up and looked at Chen Bei.
To her, this kind of Chen Bei was undoubtedly unfamiliar, but even the Chen Bei from the past still felt unfamiliar to her.
The traces of time left on her body were very deep. Even though she did not have the age spots and wrinkles that symbolized old age, and even though she was no longer disabled, she and Chen Bei had not spoken a word to each other for decades.
Chen Bei had already walked away. His voice drifted over, clear and with a hint of a smile: "Whatever you mean, that's what I mean."
Seeing Chen Bei's special treatment of Xu Xiao again, Xu Xi became even more servile. He quickly said, "Sister Xu, I didn't recognize you before. Please forgive me..."
“…”
Chen Nan had already separated from Fang Hui, and she realized that it was Xu Xiao who asked her to explain everything first. As soon as she separated from Fang Hui, she couldn't wait to talk to Xu Xiao.
Even when she saw Chen Bei passing by with a smug look on his face, she didn't say anything. She watched Chen Bei and Fang Hui leave and hurriedly ran into the woods.
Just hearing Xu Xi's words, she couldn't help but snorted coldly: "What a villain, I think it's clearly Master Xu who did it on purpose."
Xu Xi frowned: "Miss, why are you here to join in the fun! How could I dare to do it on purpose? You didn't even tell me that it was Sister Xu who came here."
Xu Xiao knew very well why Xu Xi's expression suddenly changed. It was simply because he saw Chen Bei.
Chen Bei has a high prestige in the compound and has been regarded as a child of other people's families since he was young.
She had been in the countryside for a year, so even if Xu Xi had never seen her, if he had paid attention, he would have known her. Recognizing her now was simply because she was valuable.
Xu Xiao disagreed with Xu Xi's approach, but she didn't dislike it either. It was human nature to seek profit and avoid harm, and it was also human nature to value things.
"Okay, let's go back." Xu Xiao really didn't want to listen to the two of them arguing anymore.
Returning to Beijing is a matter for the future, she can come back later.
Xu Xiao walked outside with the medicine he had gotten from Fang Hui. Chen Nan and Xu Xi hurriedly followed him.
September has just begun as autumn has arrived, and the nights are still chilly. Under the moonlight, the country roads are clearly visible, and if you calm down, you can hear a lot of calls, from frogs and crickets.
When the three of them returned to the educated youth site, there was only one room with the light on. A group of people were huddled there, and three or four thin rays of light were shining through.
Xu Xi ran over very consciously. Fortunately, he was used to being invisible, so no one would notice him even if he ran over suddenly.
But as soon as Xu Xiao approached, Ji Hong stood up and looked at Xu Xiao with disappointment: "Xu Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"
The others didn't say anything, and looked at Xu Xiao with surprise and fear.
"Ji Hong! Are you sick? Sister Xiao and I went to see my brother. She doesn't have time to do anything to you and Zhao Ling. How do you want to frame her?"
Even though she didn't know what happened, she knew that Ji Hong and Zhao Ling must be causing trouble.
Ever since Xu Xiao fell out with them, Chen Nan has not been polite to these people.
Hearing that Chen Nan went to see his brother in the team, the others finally calmed down a bit, but the secret glances at him were still there.
Xu Xiao stopped Chen Nan behind him, walked out and asked nonchalantly, "What happened again?"
Her words seemed to imply that Ji Hong had come up with something new to scam people.
Everyone's gaze began to shift to Ji Hong.
Ji Hong blushed, but this time he wasn't deliberately framing someone. Instead, he spoke with a clear conscience, "Comrade Zhao Ling got poisoned after eating your mushrooms. Don't you feel the slightest bit of guilt?"
mushroom?
Xu Xiao didn't react. She noticed Chen Nan's guilty look from the corner of her eye. She said calmly, "My mushrooms? When did I bring mushrooms back?"
