"Brother, I have to go to the research institute first. I'll clean up the dishes later!"
Shen Yunqing just came back and needed to report to the institute and report on his research.
"No, it's just a small matter, you don't need it, just go back to work!"
Shen Huaizhi raised his eyes, as if he suddenly thought of something.
"The research institute is not close to home, so I'd better take you there."
Without giving Shen Yunqing a chance to refuse, Shen Huaizhi stopped packing, picked up the coat on the sofa, and picked up the car keys.
Sitting in the car, Shen Yunqing was still thinking about the contents of the letter.
Shen Huaizhi leaned forward and fastened her seat belt. The already narrow space made the two of them stick close together.
The atmosphere quickly became ambiguous.
Shen Yunqing's face flushed red, he swallowed subconsciously, and his eyes became vague.
Shen Huaizhi seemed completely unaware of it, and even raised his hand to casually ruffle her hair.
"I've taken three days off. If you want to go somewhere or have fun, just tell me."
Shen Yunqing felt his breathing quicken and his heart pounded as if it was about to burst out.
I can't help but plan how to make good use of the remaining time.
"Brother, tell me about what happened on the battlefield."
She really wanted to know more about Shen Huai.
When she heard that Ji Qingzhou could go to the front line, she was extremely envious.
Even if it is dangerous, as long as she can always be with Shen Huaizhi, she will be satisfied.
"What's there to talk about on the battlefield? You should tell me about your research institute!"
The front line was covered in blood, broken arms and debris, and corpses were everywhere. He didn't want Shen Yunqing to know.
"We have a confidentiality agreement..."
Shen Yunqing bit her lip, and there was a hint of guilt in her eyes when she looked at Shen Huaizhi.
After hearing her words, Shen Huaizhi finally realized what was happening: "Look at my memory. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten."
"Then tell me about what happened in Baiyun Village..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunqing actually started to think seriously and told him all the things he found interesting. But halfway through, he was afraid that he would be bored.
"Brother, do you think it's boring?"
She pursed her lips, a trace of uneasiness flashed across her pretty face, her slender white hands rested on her legs, and she fastened her seat belt somewhat helplessly.
"How could that be?"
Shen Huaizhi noticed her mood change, with a faint smile on his face, and turned his head to give her a gentle and doting look.
"No matter what you say, my brother loves to listen."
Over the years, as Shen Yunqing grew up, the two of them gradually became inexplicably estranged. He had always been distressed by this situation, but he could not find a good way to alleviate it.
Now that he can finally live like before, he is so happy.
He was eager to know more and more.
"Um."
Shen Huaizhi's words were like a reassurance, soothing Shen Yunqing's uneasy heart.
She raised her head and her eyes fell on Shen Huaizhi.
He was concentrating on driving at the moment, looking straight ahead, his expression a little more serious than usual.
The bony fingers look even whiter and longer against the pure black steering wheel.
For a moment, Shen Yunqing was a little dazed.
After training in the military camp, he became more mature, stable and charming than before.
When she touched his slightly furrowed brows, Shen Yunqing subconsciously wanted to reach out and smooth them for him.
As soon as it was raised, it stopped immediately.
She has no right to do such a thing!
Thinking of this, my originally beating heart is now filled with infinite sadness.

Ji family kitchen.
Ji Qingwan washed all the side dishes, cut them into appropriate sizes, and handed them to Ye Lanqing.
"Aunt Ye, what are you going to do?"
She poked the disassembled black chicken and cast a curious look at Ye Lanqing.
Ye Lanqing smiled as he watched all the ingredients being prepared. He took a large bowl to put the black chicken in, sprinkled a handful of salt into it, and then added white wine to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor before he slowly answered.
"I plan to make bamboo fungus and black chicken soup for Xiao Xiao today. His body needs to be taken care of right now. He must eat more nutritious food to replenish his body."
When it comes to Xiao Shuo, Ji Qingwan is extremely curious.
"Aunt Ye, I heard that Comrade Xiao injured his eyes and legs while on the front line, but under such circumstances, he rescued the captured soldiers."
Whenever she thought of his deeds, Ji Qingwan's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"What kind of person is he? How could he be so powerful?"
Ye Lanqing looked at her curious expression with a smile in his eyes.
"Since you're so curious, why don't you come with me and take a look when I bring him soup today?"
"Xiao Xiao is different from my brat. He's talkative and humorous. Anyone who is with him will be very happy every day."
As she spoke, she looked at Ji Qingwan meaningfully.
Ji Qingwan did not understand the meaning of Ye Lanqing's words. Instead, hearing her praise Xiao Shuo like this, she had even more expectations for this respectable yet tragic hero.
I really hope I can meet him someday!
Ji Qingwan pursed her lips, suppressed the thought in her heart, looked back at the black chicken, and rolled up her sleeves.
"Auntie Ye, if you need any help, just tell me."
Ye Lanqing saw that she didn't understand at all, and felt helpless and amused.
"Then you can help me taste the soup later!"
"Okay, I'll take care of this little thing."
Ji Qingwan agreed immediately.
"You eat too."
Ye Lan’s skill in stewing soup is unparalleled, and she wishes she could taste it every day!
Xie Yanbei changed his clothes and came down from upstairs.
"Mom, are you going to the hospital to see Xiao Shuo?"
Ye Lanqing covered the chicken soup with the thermal lid and pointed to the breakfast left on the table next to it.
"Yes, Xiao Shuo said yesterday that my chicken soup was delicious, so I stocked up on some extra today. The child is injured and needs more nutrition. Eat breakfast while it's hot. I'll be back soon."
Xie Yanbei walked over quickly, and Ji Qingzhou also came down after washing up. She was wearing a red coat today, which looked very festive.
"Mom, let Ayan and I go today. Ayan has time, so I might as well go over and check on him. Who knows, maybe I can help him with his condition."
These days, it has been the buddies in the army who have been taking turns to take care of Xiao Shuo.
Of course, the one who contributed the most was Ye Lanqing.
Xiao Shuo was a sweet-talker to begin with, and he made the old man very happy. He also said that Ye Lanqing's cooking tasted like his mother's, and his little words made Ye Lanqing so distressed that she wished she could be his mother.
Seeing that both of them had already made plans, Ye Lanqing did not refuse anymore.
"Then you two should be careful on the road. This chicken soup won't be cold for a while. The doctor said that the child has a lot of dietary restrictions, so you must not give him anything."
