With the help of the neighbors, Grandma Niannian was laid to rest peacefully. Because besides Shen Shiyi, the little girl had no one else closer to her. Although the neighbors were like family, they also had their own children to care for and were too busy. After much deliberation, Shen Shiyi decided to take Niannian back to the military base, where she could at least take care of her temporarily.
The Y Military Region troops are stationed deep in the mountains and forests of Y City. The geographical location is secluded and particularly suitable for military training.
"Greetings, Commander!" In the Y Military Region, both male and female soldiers admired this young woman who had risen to the rank of Senior Colonel. Her outstanding achievements and numerous merits over the past five years inspired the male soldiers to emulate her. Having such a formidable female soldier in the unit boosted the morale of the soldiers.
Shen Shiyi carried her daughter into her house and gently placed her crying daughter on the bed.
The little girl thought she was leaving and immediately asked, "Mommy, where are you going?" Her sense of security vanished instantly, frightening her.
She knew her daughter was too young to be frightened, but she needed to replenish her energy after traveling back and forth.
Even the most cold-blooded person, at this moment, would softly comfort her, "Sweetie, Mommy's going out for a little while, I'll be back soon." She would then stride away, resuming her usual expressionless demeanor.
The cooks were astonished. "Greetings, sir!"
Even in the presence of a ruthless and decisive colonel, one should remain extremely vigilant to avoid giving the colonel any leverage over them.
Shen Shiyi simply gave a faint "Mm".
Soldiers are usually quiet, especially her. She was a beauty in the army, an ice queen with no warmth, and when she looked at you, it was as if she wasn't looking at you at all.
When the cooks saw her come into the kitchen, they immediately went to help. "Sir, let me do it. What would you like to eat?" "How can we let her do it? She's risking her life."
Shen Shiyi shook her head and refused, "No need, you go and do your thing."
However, her skillful knife work stunned the cook. "Oh my god, am I seeing a ghost? The colonel can actually cook, and he's incredibly skilled at it. It's unbelievable!"
Half an hour later, the delicious-looking three dishes and soup were ready. After everything was tidied up, I picked up my lunchbox and headed to the dormitory.
The cooks, their mouths watering at the sight of the food, went over and took a bite. "Wow! Commander Shen is truly worthy of his title. He's an expert in military operations and command, and I never expected him to cook so well. Wow, even these simple ingredients can be made into such a delicious meal! It's a feast for the eyes!" They were utterly delighted and happy.
Suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey, what are you secretly eating? You're eating so happily all by yourself." He looked so suspicious, it was really strange.
The man asked in surprise, "Wow, it smells so good, brother! What delicious food have you made today?" "It smells amazing! It's making my stomach even hungrier."
"Alright, seeing how much you're drooling, I'll give you some." "Mmm, delicious, so delicious! Bro, you're a great cook."
It's been so long since I've had such delicious and fragrant food; it's simply unforgettable.
He nodded in agreement, "Right? I also think it's delicious. I didn't expect Commander Shen to be such a hidden talent." I've been a cook for two years and have cooked for two years. I've never heard of a lieutenant colonel who can cook, and his cooking is even better than that of a five-star hotel chef.
The man was stunned: What? Commander Shen? Did I hear that right? "You mean Colonel Shen, the ice queen of our military region?"
OMG, this can't be real! The cook shrugged, seeing his brother's horrified expression. He couldn't believe it, but he had seen it for himself.
The next morning, little Nian Nian finally returned to normal, starting to talk and smile again, which put Shen Shiyi's mind at ease. The rising sun hung in the azure sky, and fluffy white clouds drifted playfully to and fro.
"Niannian, do you miss your uncle?" Ruan Tiancheng and the other men in the army liked this little girl very much. Shen Shiyi often brought her to the army base to play, and they would play together when they had nothing to do.
"Uncle Ruan, I miss you too." Then she gave her uncle a big kiss. Ruan Tiancheng was overjoyed and returned the favor by kissing the little girl back.
"Niannian, where are you going with Mommy today?"
Dan Xintian, who had arrived breathless, asked Shen Shiyi, clearly referring to her as a fellow soldier, "Hey, brother, where are you taking the little girl today?"
He's been very quiet since joining the army, averaging no more than 10 sentences a day—even more taciturn than a man. "Go buy her some clothes."
Spring clothes are here! My little girl has grown taller, and last year's clothes are too small for her. It's time to buy her a few new outfits.
But Xintian nodded, "I'm free today too, I'll come with you. Let's go." He carried the little girl as they walked, saying, "Niannian, you've gained weight again. Have you been secretly eating lately? But Uncle's little girl is growing up." Xintian is perfect for being a stay-at-home dad, and he personally loves children.
In Commander Nangong's office sat Nangong Zixin, Colonel Qin, and a grim-faced Commander Nangong, along with other leaders. "Zixin, do you know what you're doing?"
Sigh, so many years have passed, but that incident is still a thorn in her heart. Zixin is good in every way, except that she is too stubborn, just like me.
I know my father is worried about me, but some things can't be forgotten so easily. "Dad, I know you keep telling me to let go of the past, but I just can't. Every time I see that despicable couple, the hatred in my heart grows stronger. Why do they live such a comfortable life, while Bing'er, my sister, who is so kind, ends up being treated so cruelly? It's not fair."
Whenever the past is brought up again, it is an unforgettable pain.
"Dad, do you know? Ten years ago, when I was 18, I almost never saw you again. During a summer camp organized by the school, I was robbed and nearly died. She rescued me, and I survived. When I was 19, I volunteered, and a landslide occurred. Bing'er pushed me out of the way, but she was buried. If I hadn't sprained my ankle, she wouldn't have been injured. When they rescued her, she was in shock, and she only survived thanks to the doctors' best efforts. Without her, I wouldn't be who I am today. Dad, I know what I'm doing. I won't do anything to hurt myself, but I will never let the person who killed Bing'er get away with it."
A tall, slender figure walked quickly past me. Why? There was a sense of familiarity. Was it just my imagination?
Nangong Zixin hurriedly checked, "Wait a minute."
The three people who were walking briskly stopped, their eyes sweeping over in unison. When they saw the person in front of them, they were shocked and almost lost their footing. "What? Bing'er, it's impossible! Bing'er, is that you? You're not dead?"
How I wish she wasn't dead, but reality is always harsh. No, she wasn't. Bing'er was blown up by the car, her body never seen again. How could she be her? But why? She looked so much like him; there couldn't possibly be two people who looked so alike.
