Chapter 91: How many good brothers do you plan to acknowledge?
"No!" Xiao Li withdrew his arm aggrievedly. "Doctor Zhu said he was worried I might have been poisoned, so he drew some blood and wanted to send it for testing."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but roll up his sleeves again, revealing his strong arms to prove his innocence.
"Look, how do I look like I'm poisoned?"
Wu Wei was amused by his seriousness. He put his arm around Xiao Li's shoulders and led him to Xu Yancheng's office.
"Don't worry, brother! Our captain's hand is for a gun, not a syringe!"
He slapped Xiao Li's shoulder, making a loud slapping sound.
"That's right!" Xiao Li felt much more relaxed after hearing this.
Zhu Yaoyao is a doctor, but Captain Xu is not.
As long as the blood is saved, it's fine!
Besides, Captain Xu is Sister An An’s man.
Sister An An is so nice, what bad thing could he do to her?
Thinking of this, Xiao Li's steps became lighter again.
After the two arrived at Xu Yancheng's office, Xu Yancheng raised his hand and pointed at the chair, saying in a steady voice, "Sit down."
Wu Wei had nothing to do, so he simply took Xu Yancheng's pen and letter paper and started writing a letter.
"Sister-in-law An An, An Xinzhan!"
Just as Xu Yancheng was about to speak, he was interrupted by Wu Wei mumbling to himself.
He sighed deeply, "That's Zhan Xin'an. He can't even write the beginning correctly, what are you explaining?"
Wu Wei was not annoyed. He just smiled and tore the paper cleanly.
"Then I'll write a draft first. Sister-in-law An'an, I'm Wu Wei. I have a thousand yuan in my bank account now. When you see this letter..."
He bit the tip of his pen, thinking carefully about his next sentence.
Xiao Li found it very interesting and stretched his neck to move closer.
"Brother Wu, are you writing a letter to Sister An An?"
"Ah!" Wu Wei said matter-of-factly, without even looking up. "I'm about to go on another mission, so as usual, I have to make arrangements for my affairs after my death. I'm a lonely man, without a father, a mother, or a wife. My sister-in-law is so kind to me, so who else should I write this letter to if not her?"
Xiao Li's eyes lit up, "Then I'll write to Sister An An too!"
Xu Yancheng: "..."
What is going on?
One by one, two of them, have to write letters to his wife?
Do they think he's just a decoration? Can't they find their own wives?
An inexplicable feeling of bitterness and helplessness was churning in my chest.
"Ahem." He cleared his throat, successfully drawing their attention back.
"Wu Wei, please be quiet for a moment. Xiao Li, I have something important to ask you."
Xiao Li quickly sat up straight, "Captain Xu, please ask."
Xu Yancheng opened the notebook he carried with him, tapped the paper with the tip of his pen, and looked sharp.
"Do you remember clearly what happened to the monster you encountered in the mountains? Especially her appearance. The more detailed the better."
Although Xiao Li was puzzled, he had been remembering the Fairy Sister since he was eight years old. How could he have forgotten her?
"The fairy sister is so beautiful. Her skin is as delicate as a freshly peeled egg. She is completely different from the girls on Nansha Island who are exposed to the wind and sun all year round. The material of the clothes she wears looks very expensive. The layered patterns are so beautiful that he couldn't even dream of them. Even the clothes worn by the fairies in the temples are not as exquisite and sophisticated."
Xu Yancheng stopped writing and raised his eyes to ask, his gaze sharp, "Do you still remember which path you took into the mountains that year?"
"What does the passage look like?"
"I remember the general direction," Xiao Li tried to recall. "I'm familiar with that forest. I go in there several times every year. But the strange thing is, that passage just disappeared out of thin air. I haven't seen it since."
Xu Yancheng nodded, closed the notebook, and looked at Xiao Li.
"Xiao Li, think carefully about the details during this time, and don't go into that forest alone again. Once Lu He's situation is resolved, you lead the way and we'll go to the mountains together to look for that fairy sister you mentioned."
Xiao Li's lips moved up and down for a long time, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Wu Wei who was still struggling with the letter paper.
Angkor! Something's wrong with the leader!
Does he have any thoughts about my fairy sister?
At that time, should I help Fairy Sister or Sister An An?
Unfortunately, Wu Wei was immersed in his own "creative" world and was completely unaware of the complicated look from Xiao Li.
Xiao Li took the two White Rabbit milk candies handed to him by Xu Yancheng, and felt that the candy wrappers were hot.
Could it be that Captain Xu is really obsessed with the fairy in the mountains?
In the end, Xiao Li's balance tilted towards Ruan Anan.
He must find an opportunity to tell Sister An An about this quietly.
…
It was not until Xiao Li's figure disappeared outside the door that Xu Yancheng turned his gaze to the corner of the table.
Wu Wei was still struggling with the piece of draft paper, on which was clearly written: Soft and safe, lamp and safe!
There are only four words, but two are wrong.
Xu Yancheng felt a blockage in his chest and almost fainted.
He really couldn't help it, so he snatched the pen from Wu Wei's hand and wrote three neat big words on the paper: Ruan Anan.
Wu Wei was modest, staring at the three words and smacking his lips: "The commander is indeed well-educated. If I had been able to go to school when I was a child, I would be able to understand those papers with words on them now. What a pity..."
He shook his head, his tone resigned and open-minded, "I'm already eighteen, I can't still sit in the classroom with that little carrot head, right?"
Xu Yancheng didn't respond, but silently folded the draft of the suicide note full of typos and stuffed it into the innermost layer of his army green shoulder bag.
"I'm going home, you should get some rest early!"
Wu Wei watched the captain's back as he strode away, muttering quietly, "The captain must be so happy about getting married recently that he's lost his mind. It's almost two in the morning, why is he still going home?"
Xu Yancheng's idea was very simple.
He is a married man, so he has to go home even if the sky falls!
He couldn't indulge himself in this bad habit.
Ruan Anan slept until dawn, slipped into the space, washed up, drank a cup of goat milk latte, and then slowly went downstairs.
As soon as I reached the stairs, I smelled an enticing fragrance.
In the kitchen, Xu Yancheng was bringing out a bowl of steaming hot noodles with a poached egg.
He opened fire just as he heard movement in her room upstairs, and his timing was impeccable.
"Let me show you something." Xu Yancheng placed the bowl of noodles in front of her and handed her a crumpled piece of letter paper.
Ruan Anan took it curiously and unfolded it.
She looked at the crooked handwriting and tried hard to decipher it.
"Soft An An...lamp? Letter..."
"What's so cool? What's the money?"
She looked up, bewildered, "Whose child's graffiti is this?"
"Eat noodles first." Xu Yancheng pulled the letter back without saying anything.
Seeing her pick up the noodles with chopsticks, he explained, "There's an old rule in the army. Before going on a big mission, you have to leave a letter for your family. If... you can't come back, your comrades will pass it on to you."
He paused, his eyes falling on the letter, a trace of subtle heaviness in his voice. "Wu Wei, I picked up an orphan when I was fighting in Min City. It was a chaotic time, and he joined the army at such a young age. He grew up in the army, eating at other people's homes, and never attended school. He... treated you like family, so I left this letter to you with my thoughts in mind."
Ruan Anan's chopsticks paused, and the noodles hung in the air.
Wu Wei's young but weathered face flashed through her mind.
Wu Wei grew up stumbling around in war and military camps.
His sister-in-law is probably his only imagination of home.
I heard that there are many soldiers' children like Wu Wei in the army.
Ruan Anan raised her head and happened to meet Xu Yancheng's deep and focused gaze.
She suddenly understood his intention: "You mean... to let me teach them to read and write?"
"It doesn't have to be you, does it?"
There was a hint of sourness in Xu Yancheng's tone that he didn't even notice.
"How many more good brothers do you plan to acknowledge?"
“Cough cough cough!”
Ruan Anan was choked by his sudden jealousy.
The noodles almost came out of my nose and my face turned red.
Xu Yancheng quickly handed her warm water, patted her back gently with his big hands, and softened his voice: "Eat slowly, why are you in such a hurry?"
It took Ruan Anan a long time to catch her breath, and she glared at him with a blush on her cheeks.
"I'm talking about serious matters! I can go talk to Principal Zhu and see if we can set up a night school for comrades like Wu Wei who have weak foundations in the army! We can take some time out in the evening to learn some cultural knowledge!"
