Zhou Siyu sat in the car, watching Yu Wen talking to the guard in front of him.
It has to be said that this system is really awful. The designated cohabitation location is the strictly managed military compound of the Alliance, which is surrounded by open fields for miles around, and strict approval procedures are required for entry and exit.
He would never, ever, ever come here if he didn't want to go through that deadly punishment again!
Yu Wen talked for a long time, but the guard defeated him with just a few words.
"Outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering the military-controlled area."
"They're family members, and family members aren't outsiders!"
Please show your relevant identification.
"The documents are still being processed; you can check it in the system!"
"Outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering the military-controlled area."
Well, we've come full circle.
Yu Wen rubbed his forehead. His eloquent and persuasive speaking skills at the negotiating table were completely useless here! Utterly useless!
Why is it so difficult to communicate?
Another guard knocked on the car window: "Parking is prohibited here. Please leave as soon as possible."
Zhou Siyu rolled down the car window and gestured towards the figure running towards them in the distance: "Are you sure you want me to leave?"
The guard turned around, immediately stood up straight respectfully, and saluted Yu Wei.
Yu Wei stopped and returned the greeting, then began to talk to the two of them.
The guard nodded, waved towards the duty room, and the retractable gate slowly opened.
Upon entering, several guards approached the car and surrounded it, conducting a routine inspection.
"Out-of-town vehicles are not allowed to park. Give me your luggage."
Yu Wei took the luggage and explained, "I'm afraid Yu Wen will have to drive your car back."
How can I enter and exit freely?
Zhou Siyu huddled in Yu Wei's shadow to avoid the sun. He couldn't possibly stay in this place for three years, could he? What would happen to his work, meetings, and social engagements?
"I've already reported this to my superiors, and someone will come to issue the ID card later."
"after?"
Zhou Siyu frowned. This perfectly good family compound has been turned into a prison. What's the difference between this and being in jail?
“The ID cards are processed in batches, so I can’t give you one right now.” Yu Wei took out a card and handed it to Zhou Siyu: “Use mine for now, just tell the guard at the door.”
Zhou Siyu took the card and put it away, then walked behind Yu Wei with her head down.
It seems that being tall isn't entirely without its advantages; it can block out the sun.
"This is the sports field and stadium, that's the indoor swimming pool and gym, and this is the cafeteria." Yu Wei introduced as they walked: "The cafeteria serves breakfast from 6 a.m. every morning, lunch from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., dinner from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and late-night snacks from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.."
"There is a supermarket and a medical room next to the canteen, and there are people on duty 24 hours a day."
Passing by the cafeteria, the aroma of the food was so enticing that Zhou Siyu couldn't resist. He swallowed hard; it was a huge temptation for someone who hadn't eaten breakfast.
"Let me take your luggage over first." Yu Wei took out the key and handed it to Zhou Siyu: "The house number is on it. You can come over after you finish eating."
Zhou Siyu really wanted to stubbornly say that she wasn't hungry, but her stomach wouldn't cooperate and growled a few times. After saying thank you, she took her card and went into the cafeteria.
I have to say the food in the cafeteria is really good. It has everything from birds in the sky to animals on the ground to fish in the water, and the food is a perfect combination of meat and vegetables, with great color, aroma and taste.
The cafeteria was bustling with people gathered in twos and threes, chatting animatedly.
Zhou Siyu found a place to sit down and listened to every word of the discussion at the next table.
"I heard that General Yu got married, and the bride was even forcibly assigned to him."
"Really? General Yu will actually be forced to be assigned..."
"Of course, it's all over the army."
"Oh, what a pity. I thought he would marry Major General Chu."
"Can a 90% match rate beat a 100% match rate?"
These words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the table, which could only accommodate four people, was crammed with a bunch of people.
"100% match? General Yu's wife is a high-level Omega?"
"What was General Yu's wife's name again?"
"Zhou... Zhou something Yu..."
"Zhou Siyu".
"Oh, right, right, Zhou Siyu... wait, how did you know?"
The group stared in astonishment at the long-haired figure from behind, wondering who this person was who even knew their name!
"That's me."
After finishing the last sip of soup, Zhou Siyu took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, turned around and said, "My name is Zhou Siyu, not General Yu's wife."
After saying that, he picked up his tray and left with a flourish.
"Wow! This person is so beautiful..."
"General Yu is quite the ladies' man."
"Don't you guys think General Yu's promotion was too fast?"
A person spoke in a low voice, but Zhou Siyu, with her keen hearing, still caught it.
After the differentiation, his hearing range became very wide, and he could hear sounds from tens of meters away clearly.
"You have connections at home, don't you know who the highest-ranking officer in the military command is?"
"Nonsense!" A young man in a denim jacket put down his chopsticks and said angrily, "General Yu was not promoted because of family connections."
"What do you know, you little brat?"
"I just know!"
The young man was so angry that his cheeks puffed out, like a little squirrel.
"Who are you to him?"
"I am……"
"Yu Zhen!"
A deep male voice interrupted the conversation. Zhou Siyu stopped and stood silently in the corner, observing the young man who walked in through the door.
A black workout uniform paired with camouflage trousers and a clean-cut buzz cut—this outfit makes him look like one of those copy-pasted people from the training ground next door.
The man walked over to Yu Zhen, raised his hand to wipe the rice grains from the corner of his mouth, and said affectionately, "Eating so slowly, aren't you afraid someone will take it from you?"
