Chapter 546 Debunking the Rumors
"Okay." Su Jin looked at the group with clear and unwavering eyes.
They looked at each other and became shy.
Finally, someone cautiously spoke up, "Um... we've heard, just heard, what's going on between you and Commander Xiao?"
He hesitated and ultimately didn't dare to ask the question directly about a "romantic relationship."
Actually, they didn't believe it either. Ever since Su Jin's parents both sacrificed their lives, she had been living with Xiao Yunfeng.
Although they are not related by blood, they are closer than family, a relationship that is well-known and recognized by everyone in the residential compound.
But in the last month or two, a ridiculous rumor suddenly emerged that they had become boyfriend and girlfriend.
At first, no one in the family compound believed it, but the rumors spread like wildfire and the whole military region knew about it, so the family compound started talking about it too.
After all, there's no smoke without fire.
However, they dared not directly ask Xiao Yunfeng for confirmation, and Su Jin had been in the army and had not returned, which is why it had been delayed until today.
Now that I've finally met Su Jin, I have to ask her all sorts of questions.
"It's fake, isn't it? Brigade Commander Xiao is a whole generation older than you, he's your elder, how could you two possibly be together? Right?"
Su Jin's expression froze; she hadn't expected that even the people in the family compound would start to suspect them.
Faced with the tense gazes of the group, she gave a negative answer.
"It's fake. Someone in the military made a mistake."
"call!"
Hearing her affirmative answer, the women all breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"I knew it! How could that be? These rumors are really outrageous. Let's just treat it as a joke!"
"Yes. My husband also said that the military doesn't know about Xiao Jin's relationship with Brigade Commander Xiao. They only see that Brigade Commander Xiao usually takes care of Xiao Jin, so they all misunderstand."
The group became increasingly animated as they talked, all looking relieved.
Su Jin understood their thoughts, and it was probably the same for everyone in the family compound.
When she got home, Wu Ma was naturally the happiest.
More than two months have passed since she last came back, and Wu Ma still feels a pang of heartache and keeps nagging.
Su Jin didn't find it annoying at all; on the contrary, she quite missed it.
I chatted with Aunt Wu for a while, and then it got completely dark.
Su Jin glanced at the clock subconsciously.
Wu Ma immediately sensed her thoughts and explained, "Commander Xiao seems to be quite busy these days. He specifically instructed that we don't need to wait for him for meals."
Su Jin knew, of course, that Xiao Yunfeng was busy with things after the exercise, and she hadn't seen him since the exercise ended.
"Xiao Jin, shall we eat first?"
Aunt Wu interrupted her thoughts.
After dinner, Su Jin went upstairs to the second floor and stopped in her tracks as she passed the next room.
Wu Ma told her that Xiao Yunfeng had moved in after she returned to the army last time, so now their rooms are separated by only one wall.
Thinking of what those older women had said, Su Jin shook her head and went straight back to her room.
It was late at night.
Su Jin thought that since she was finally home and wouldn't have to face heavy training the next day, she could definitely get a good night's sleep. However, when she counted the 2836th sheep, she couldn't lie still any longer and sat up in bed in agitation.
The stairs on the second floor remained quiet; Xiao Yunfeng had clearly not returned yet, but it was already close to one in the morning.
