Chapter 321 Happy New Year!
Xiao Yunfeng looked down at her and said slowly, "I thought you were too busy playing with Qian Wei and the others to see your uncle."
Su Jin didn't expect him to say something like that.
He's so big, how could she not see him?
"Everyone was in the cafeteria, so I didn't feel comfortable taking the initiative to greet my uncle."
Xiao Yunfeng countered, "Why can't you greet me when everyone else is here?"
Su Jin was stunned for a moment, then stared straight at him, "Uncle, are you serious?"
Shouldn't their kinship be kept secret?
Xiao Yunfeng looked at her tense face, remained silent for two seconds, and then smiled slightly, "Of course not."
The fact that the little girl didn't call him "Commander Xiao" directly is already quite good.
Su Jin pouted and muttered, "So childish."
Xiao Yunfeng heard it but pretended not to.
"Uncle, are you alright?" Su Jin asked with concern.
"You little ingrate, only now you think to ask about my health."
This was the second time Su Jin had sensed grievance in Xiao Yunfeng's tone.
Goosebumps instantly appeared on my arms.
"Why did you leave without saying goodbye at the hospital that day?" Xiao Yunfeng asked deliberately in a serious voice.
Um...
Su Jin's facial muscles twitched slightly a few times.
“I didn’t leave without saying goodbye. My uncle is asleep. I need to go back to the action team, so I asked Sister Wanrong to pass on the message to my uncle.”
Xiao Yunfeng raised an eyebrow. "I see."
Su Jin knew without asking that Liu Wanrong definitely hadn't said anything.
"My uncle's stomach problems..."
"It's alright now." Xiao Yunfeng visibly relaxed, stretched, and looked up at the sky.
Su Jin followed his gaze.
The stars twinkled in the night sky, and the moon shone exceptionally bright.
“Xiao Jin has grown another year older.” Xiao Yunfeng’s deep voice rang out.
Su Jin then added, "My uncle has also grown a year older."
“For my uncle, growing a year older is not a good thing.” Xiao Yunfeng had never cared about his age, but looking at her youthful face at this moment, he suddenly wished he could be younger.
"Happy New Year!"
Four years later, he finally said those words again.
Su Jin's breath hitched, her gaze fixed blankly on his face, her thoughts drifting far, far away.
Happy New Year to my uncle!
At this moment, Xiao Yunfeng's eyes were very gentle, very gentle.
Su Jin felt that his eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky, and she couldn't bear to look away from them.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yunfeng spoke again.
"It's too cold outside, let's go inside quickly."
Su Jin asked almost instinctively, "What about you, Uncle?"
Xiao Yunfeng replied lazily, "The New Year's Eve dinner is already over, so of course I'm going home."
Su Jin wanted to say something, but he interrupted her.
"Go back and play with everyone."
Su Jin nodded obediently, and then walked back to the cafeteria under his gaze.
After she went inside, Wang Liang came to Xiao Yunfeng's side from around the corner.
"Brigade Commander, it's time for us to set off."
The brigade commander received a last-minute mission order. According to the plan, he should have set off at noon today, but he postponed his departure so that he could have New Year's Eve dinner with Su Jin.
According to their itinerary, they will have to travel all night tonight.
Xiao Yunfeng then withdrew his gaze from the cafeteria entrance, his relaxed expression replaced by coldness, and turned to leave...
