"Eat!" Chu Xingyue's words snapped them out of their daze, and they began to eat, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. No one knew what they were thinking.
"An'an, this side dish is really good. It tastes different from Grandma's. It's a little sweet and a little spicy. It's delicious," Chu Jiaojiao whispered to Chu Xingyue.
"Sis, after we finish eating, I'll take you to my childhood secret hideout."
"What? You have a secret base here?" Chu Jiaojiao asked Xia Yiyang in a low voice.
"Of course, I've lived here for several years, you know."
The group ate and chatted quietly, completely unaware of the others who were glancing at them.
Xia Yiyang put down his chopsticks and saw something inside waving at him.
"Sister, I'm going to get the steamed buns. Uncle Liu specially steamed big meat buns for Jiao Jiao today."
"This kid has quite the influence. He's not eating meat buns today; Old Liu specially steamed these for him."
Chen Zhongbin whispered to Liu Jie beside him.
Liu Jie didn't speak, and Chen Zhongbin didn't notice either, his eyes still glancing at Chu Xingyue and the others from time to time.
"Come on, Jiaojiao, here's a freshly steamed meat bun. It's a specialty of the Northwest Military Region. Try it!"
"Then I'll have to give it a good try."
I tried three baskets of these.
The attention on this side was so intense it almost popped out of their sockets.
What's going on? They finally got used to the fact that they, as grown men, couldn't eat as much as Deputy Regiment Commander Chu, and now another one has appeared?
How are we grown men supposed to live like this? How did the girls in the Chu family grow up like this? Their martial arts skills are already enough to make us grown men hesitate, and now their appetites are so frightening?
Or is it that they've been in the army for several years and haven't had much contact with girls outside, and all girls outside are like this? Not only are they good at fighting, but they can also eat a lot?
Looks like I need to save more for my wife. I should also cut down on smoking and drinking. At this rate, I won't even be able to support my wife.
As everyone ate breakfast, they watched as Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao slowly finished off the food on the table.
Looking at the empty steamer basket and then at the two women's bellies, it was truly an eye-opener. Where did all that food go? Of course, everyone present only dared to steal glances now; who would dare to risk their life by staring directly at Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao's bellies?
Zhou Yu and the others didn't dare to look so openly, so they could only secretly observe from the corner of their eyes.
Even as the large steamed buns were being eaten one by one, the two of them still ate with great relish.
Chu Xingyue and her two siblings never cared much about what others thought of them from a young age. No matter how others viewed them, they continued to eat as usual.
"Yangyang, this chef's skills are excellent! These buns are delicious." Chu Jiaojiao turned to Xia Yiyang, who had already finished eating, and said.
"That's right. Uncle Liu has been in this military region for many years. Back then, he was almost old enough to be assigned to a different major, but he managed to stay here all this time thanks to his skills. I also think it's delicious, no worse than what we have in our school cafeteria." Xia Yiyang said proudly, recalling how he had been beaten by his father many times when he was a child because he wondered why Uncle Liu wasn't his father.
"So there was this part too."
"Report, Lao Liu is giving us a special lunch," Liu Jie whispered, leaning closer.
These words made Chu Jiaojiao and Xia Yiyang's eyes light up, and they both turned to look in the direction from which the voice came.
Chu Jiaojiao noticed Liu Jie, and her beautiful eyes slowly narrowed.
“It’s you.”
Chu Jiaojiao's tone was certain.
"Hi, miss, you still remember me!" Liu Jie immediately flashed a bright smile and greeted Chu Jiaojiao.
"Handsome, do you remember me? We met once before." Liu Jie greeted Chu Jiaojiao, his eyes turning to Xia Yiyang.
"I remember, Mr. Liu."
Xia Yiyang's words immediately made the others at the table laugh.
Liu Jie scratched his slightly prickly short hair and laughed, "You flatter me, you flatter me."
"Hey, are you guys busy later? A few of us have arranged to play games together."
"Sister, do we have something to do later?" Chu Jiaojiao asked Chu Xingyue.
"Nothing's wrong, just waiting to have drinks at noon."
"Hey, the class monitor's younger brother and sister are having lunch with us. My first encounter with the sister was through drinking. Class monitor, you have to give me this chance." Liu Jie said to Chu Xingyue with a sincere expression.
"Okay, since you're treating, it would be rude of me to refuse." Chu Xingyue accepted the offer.
These people were quite a sight to behold as they walked down the street. Chu Xingyue and her two siblings were a given, and Zhou Yu and the others each had their own unique features. Their looks were far superior to those of boy bands, and they all had tall and straight figures. Chu Jiaojiao paled in comparison to them, looking like a short bean.
"You guys go ahead, we'll go back, take a shower, and get our phones."
When Chu Xingyue and the others arrived at the lounge, Zhou Yu and the others were all sitting together chatting. When they saw them arrive, they all stood up with smiles.
"Class monitor, come on in, younger brothers and sisters, have a seat." Since Liu Jie knew several of them, he took the lead in introducing everyone to each other.
Chu Jiaojiao has a very lively personality, and with Xia Yiyang, who has been in the military since childhood, the few strangers quickly became close.
Although special treatment is not allowed in the military, sometimes there are things that are understood but not said. For example, the rest room they are in now is not big, but since they trained together, they have become familiar with each other under Chu Xingyue's suppression. The rest room is now their place to relax and unwind. Playing cards, smoking, and drinking are all very nice. Anyway, they cleaned it up before leaving so no one would have anything to say about it.
“My brother is a minor shareholder in a professional esports team. I usually play games with them. They’re off today, so we arranged to play together. Do you guys usually play?” Fu Jingcheng explained to Chu Jiaojiao and Xia Yiyang.
Xia Yiyang and Chu Jiaojiao exchanged a glance, while Chu Xingyue raised an eyebrow.
Is my social circle too small? I keep getting to know the same group of people.
Chu Jiaojiao didn't know Fu Jingxing, but Xia Yiyang did.
"Your name is Fu Jingcheng, so Fu Jingxing is yours?"
“That’s my brother.” Fu Jingcheng’s eyes lit up.
"Is this a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple? Are we all on the same side?" Jiang Yu asked at this moment.
"It looks like it won't be bad." Zhou Yu and the others all understood.
It seems their class monitor isn't from an ordinary family.
"Haha, so you must be Brother Fu the Second?" Xia Yiyang laughed happily.
“Calling me Second Brother is fine too. In Kyoto, if you mention your brother’s name, people who know you will give you some face.” Fu Jingcheng patted his chest, as if to say, “I’ve got your back.”
"When we get back to Kyoto, I'll treat you to a meal and we'll have a blast."
"Then I'll wait for my second brother's summons when I return to Kyoto."
"Let's add each other as friends first, I'll call you when I get back." "Hey, thanks in advance, Brother Fu."
Chu Xingyue shook her head as she watched the two boys, who were about the same age, acting like best buddies. These boys could start chatting so easily.
Over there, Chu Jiaojiao was still chatting with Liu Jie, Zhou Yu, and the others. She was such a generous and easygoing girl that it was impossible to dislike her.
"Oh? You two are studying at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
