Chapter 152
An old soldier nearby, holding a grass stem in his mouth, chuckled, "What's so strange about this? Haven't you heard of it? Our regimental commander is going to be a groom next month! People are in high spirits when they're happy, don't you understand?"
"Really?" The recruit's eyes widened. "No wonder! I was wondering, our regimental commander hasn't had a smirk these past two days! In the past, when we ran slowly during training, his eyes would freeze us to death. Yesterday, when we were last in our class, he just said sullenly, 'Practice more,' and that was it. The sun is rising from the west!"
"It's all about a happy occasion!" The old soldier spat out the grass stem in his mouth, his face full of understanding. "It's like the iron tree blooms and the iceberg melts! We're really benefiting from our future sister-in-law! Take this opportunity to be smart on the training ground and avoid bad luck!"
In another corner of the training ground, several platoon leaders gathered together to smoke, and their topic of conversation kept turning to this happy event.
"Tsk, Wen Tuan is finally going to get rid of his bachelor status!"
"That's right! I've met our sister-in-law, Doctor Shen from the health center. She's a very nice person. The political commissar's sister-in-law Xiulan seems to like her very much and is planning to accompany someone to the city to pick out wedding gowns!"
"No wonder! Look at how energetic Wen Tuan is, he even walks with the wind! In the past, whenever someone introduced a girl to him, he would look very unhappy, but now? Hey, he's like a young man who has just fallen in love!" Another platoon leader smiled mischievously, which caused a burst of laughter.
These discussions buzzed into Liu Siyu's ears, like countless fine needles, making her feel uneasy.
Liu Siyu had just come out of the clinic and was about to return to the dormitory. As she passed the edge of the training ground, the sound of the soldiers' unbridled laughter and chattering drifted over clearly.
"Captain Wen is getting married", "next month", "sister-in-law"... Every word was like a poisoned icicle, piercing her heart fiercely.
Liu Siyu's feet felt like they were filled with lead. She finally managed to move back to the dormitory, and slammed the door shut, blocking out all the noise outside.
The world suddenly went quiet, leaving only the sound of her heart beating wildly due to nervousness.
Liu Siyu rushed to the table. The mirror reflected a face slightly distorted by anxiety. Her carefully drawn eyebrows were twisted together, and her eyes, usually filled with a gentle and innocent expression, now burned with a flame of unwillingness.
next month?
She doesn't have much time then!
"No! Absolutely not!" Liu Siyu clutched her palms tightly, her chest heaving violently, the last bit of disguised weakness in her eyes was completely torn apart, leaving only a desperate madness.
Liu Siyu closed her eyes and screamed silently in her mind: "System! System! Get out here!"
[Beep. Host, please give instructions.] A cold, mechanical voice echoed deep within her consciousness, devoid of any emotion.
"Strategy to capture Wen Yanxi! Now! Right now! I want a plan! The most efficient plan!" Liu Siyu practically choked out the words, "He's getting married next month! I don't have time! Check! Get all his information, especially his weaknesses! The easiest spots to attack! Turn him upside down! Quick!"
System: [Command confirmed: Deep scan of target person "Wen Yanxi". Weakness search program activated...]
Liu Siyu paced anxiously in the dormitory, waiting for the system's reply.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every second felt like being fried in a frying pan.
Liu Siyu's nails dug deep into her palms, leaving several crescent-shaped red marks.
System: [Ding. Search depth complete. Target person "Wen Yanxi" has exceptionally strong core defense mechanisms. Family of origin: Parents died young, emotional connection weak; Personal history: Willpower rating is extremely high (S-level), with no obvious bad habits or moral flaws; Emotional status: Trust in current binding partner "Chen Zhaoyue" is extremely high, loyalty locked (S+ level). Conventional emotional entry points, interest entry points, and weakness entry points... have not found any effective breakthroughs.]
The cold analysis results were like a bucket of ice water poured over her head. Liu Siyu felt a chill running from the soles of her feet straight up to the top of her head, and her vision went dark.
"Useless! What's the use of you!" Liu Siyu cursed the system in her mind, "What do you mean there's no breakthrough? Impossible! Everyone has weaknesses! Check again! I'll find it even if I have to dig three feet deep!"
System: [Beep. Conducting a deeper correlation search… Scan extended to immediate family members…]
The blue light bar flashed wildly again, and the data flow was faster.
Liu Siyu bit her lower lip so hard it almost drew blood. She had staked all her money on this system. If even it couldn't find Wen Yanxi's weakness, then she...she didn't dare to think about it.
Wen Yanxi's cold and resolute face, and the gentleness that he inadvertently revealed when he looked at Chen Zhaoyue, which was enough to make her jealous to the point of madness, flashed alternately before her eyes.
She must successfully conquer Wen Yanxi!
[Ding! Potential connection node discovered! ]
The system's prompt tone suddenly rose in pitch.
Liu Siyu shuddered, her heart instantly rising to her throat: "What is it? Tell me quickly!"
Liu Siyu threw herself onto the hard wooden bed, and the old bed frame groaned under the weight.
The room was as stuffy as a steamer, and the cicadas outside the window were chirping noisily, poking her temples.
The cold electronic sound of the system was still buzzing in her head, reporting the astronomical points - the money she had worked so hard to accumulate and was going to use to redeem various "charm halos" and "opportunity cards", now completely deflated like a punctured balloon.
"Do you really need so much?" Liu Siyu asked in a dry voice, not giving up, her nails digging deep into her palms.
System: [The target condition involves deep genetic repair and functional reconstruction. The required medication is a cutting-edge biotechnology product thirty years from now. The host's current points only meet the redemption threshold. Confirm payment?]
Liu Siyu sat up suddenly, her chest heaving violently due to her rapid breathing, causing the washed-out floral shirt she was wearing to become tight.
Liu Siyu stared ahead, as if she could see Wen Yanxi's face with its cold and hard features and the resoluteness unique to a soldier, as well as Chen Zhaoyue's calm and controlling look when she stood beside him.
Why?
Just because Chen Zhaoyue is a doctor and knows Wen Yanxi's unspeakable secret, he can control him?
What’s so great about knowing medicine!
"Confirm!" These two words were almost squeezed out from Liu Siyu's teeth, with a desperate and fierce determination, "Buy it for me immediately! The sooner the better!"
System: [Points deduction completed. Special item procurement channel has been opened. Estimated delivery time: 48 hours. Please be patient.]
The system screen flickered for a moment and then fell completely silent.
Liu Siyu felt as if her spine had been pulled out, and she fell heavily back onto the bed, with fine beads of cold sweat oozing from her forehead.
The empty score column looks like a grinning, mocking mouth.
