She is remarkable not because she has the backing of the Chu family, but because she is a remarkable person in her own right.
Even without the Chu family behind her, she still thrived in Beijing.
The benefits the Chu family received from her were far more valuable than what the Chu family did for her.
That's why Chu Xiaonian said those words.
After hearing his words, the others silently elevated Lin Xiaoxiao's status in their hearts.
"How is this possible?" Lin Wanwan murmured, her expression incredulous.
What's so great about Lin Xiaoxiao that the Chu family gives her so much face?
Anyone who didn't know her would think she was incredibly capable.
Aside from being strong, Lin Wanwan couldn't think of any other remarkable qualities she possessed.
Lin Xiaoxiao was in charge of cutting meat for everyone, and everyone got to eat the meat she sliced, except for Lin Wanwan.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't even glance at Lin Wanwan's outrageous actions.
It was the military's New Year's Eve party, the only day the soldiers could relax all year round, and Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to spoil everyone's fun.
The Chinese New Year is all about being happy.
She wouldn't be happy if someone caused her any trouble during the Chinese New Year.
So Lin Wanwan was jumping around there, but Lin Xiaoxiao completely ignored her.
Normally, she would have been silenced long ago.
For the rest of the time, Lin Wanwan sat quietly, and except for the occasional jealous look she gave Lin Xiaoxiao, she hardly spoke.
She closed her mouth, and the air felt fresher.
Lin Xiaoxiao enjoyed the fun of cutting meat, but lost interest after half an hour.
Even after a full meal, the smell of grilled meat and charcoal made me feel a bit greasy.
The moment she had this thought, a large hand reached out and took the knife, taking her place.
Qin Yushen moved the small stool for her, "I'll take it. You sit and rest. If you feel tired, drink some water."
As he spoke, he unscrewed the kettle and placed it next to her.
The kettle was filled with warm water. Lin Xiaoxiao took a sip and found it very refreshing, so she gulped down half of the kettle.
After the cook returned, he took over the work from Qin Yushen.
What are you eating?
Just as Lin Xiaoxiao popped a pine nut into her mouth, Lu Yunzhang's voice rang in her ears.
Looking up, she saw that Lu Yunzhang and she were separated only by Qin Yushen, and both of them were very close to Qin Yushen.
No wonder the sound was so close.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at him and answered, "Pine nuts."
"What, you want some too?"
Lu Yunzhang smiled and said, "It wouldn't be bad to have some."
Qin Yushen was very displeased to see him talking to his wife.
Before she could say anything, Lin Xiaoxiao spoke first, "If you want him, you can move over there. Can you please stop crowding my man?"
...My man.
A hint of sadness flashed across Lu Yunzhang's eyes, but it was gone in an instant. He then moved to the side.
Lin Xiaoshen kept her word and grabbed a handful of food, which she then gave to Qin Yushen.
It was perfectly reasonable to hand it to Lu Yunzhang directly, but it had to go through Qin Yushen instead.
It's not that they dislike it, but rather that they want to avoid suspicion.
Qin Yushen's displeasure with Lu Yunzhang vanished instantly, and he reached out his hand to him, "Catch."
Lu Yunzhang took the pine nuts with a gloomy mood, feeling that the deliciousness was greatly diminished as he ate them.
After sitting for a while, Lin Xiaoxiao realized it would be a while before it ended, so she told Qin Yushen that she wanted to go for a walk around the area.
"I'll stay with you." Qin Yushen made a move to stand up as well.
Lin Xiaoxiao quickly stopped him, "I'll just wander around there, I won't go too far, you don't need to follow me."
The leaders haven't left yet; it wouldn't be right for him to leave.
Qin Yushen understood this as well, and after hesitating for a moment, he agreed, "Be careful, don't go too far."
Nothing bad is bound to happen in the military; his main concern is that she might get lost.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, "I understand."
After saying that, he walked out of the crowd and breathed in the air that was free of the smell of charcoal.
She hadn't gone far, walking about a hundred meters along the road, when she could still hear the cheers of soldiers not far away.
Not long after she left, Lin Wanwan also got up and left the crowd, following the direction Lin Xiaoxiao had gone.
After searching for five minutes without finding anyone, Lin Wanwan muttered under her breath, "Damn it, where did they go?"
The sky had long since darkened, and trees were planted on both sides of the military road, their leaves rustling in the cold wind.
Lin Wanwan looked at the road ahead, her eyes darting around.
I haven't seen Lin Xiaoxiao along the way; she's probably gone far away.
It doesn't matter if she goes far away, she'll always come back eventually, and when she does, Lin Xiaoxiao will definitely choose to return the way she came.
Since that's the case...
Lin Wanwan glanced around warily, then carefully hid behind a large tree. There were no streetlights here, and although the light from the streetlights nearby could illuminate the road, it couldn't reach behind the tree.
It was pitch black behind the tree, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Not a single ray of light could penetrate the darkness; it was like a corner forgotten by the world.
The wind rustled through the branches and leaves of the trees, like the whispers of an unknown creature hidden in the darkness.
Lin Wanwan hugged her arms tightly, feeling so cold.
If she hadn't planned to scare Lin Xiaoxiao quietly, she wouldn't have hidden in such a dark place late at night.
Everyone was by the fire, and there wasn't a soul in sight on the road.
Looking at the road outside, she got a little tired after standing for a while. There was a wall behind her, so she decided to lean against it for a bit.
He reached his hand behind him and carefully groped around, only to touch something warm.
Warm...
My mind went blank for a moment, and all sorts of imaginations rushed in like a tide, and the sound of my heartbeat seemed to be right next to my ears.
