Chapter 65 You are different from her; all that ambiguity is gone!
The cafeteria is very spacious, with rows of tables and chairs neatly arranged.
To Xia Mian's surprise, a family dining area was set up here.
The guards led them directly to the family dining area, where a variety of nutritious dishes were neatly arranged, including roast duck, salted chicken, fruits and vegetables, and the tables were covered with cozy checkered tablecloths, as well as some facilities with a strong military flavor.
It allows visiting family members to have a relatively independent space without disturbing the soldiers' normal mealtime rhythm.
Xia Mian was surprised to find that there were quite a few military spouses in the family quarters... She saw many military wives, and several of them with their children.
Xia Mian thought to herself, "So it wasn't just a few of them who came to visit relatives."
Many military wives looked at Xia Mian and her group with curiosity; it was rare to see someone so young visiting their family.
One of the company commander's wives couldn't help but ask Xia Mian, "Girl, whose family are you related to?"
Xia Mian's cheeks flushed involuntarily at the thought of her name on the small tree sign. "I..."
Zhao Baoqi had already taken her hand. "Let's go get our food first."
Xia Mian breathed a sigh of relief and moved on from the topic.
Even after she sat down at the table with her tray, her heart was still pounding.
Suddenly, she heard a series of neat and heavy footsteps. Curious, she looked up and saw soldiers lined up in an orderly fashion stepping into the canteen.
"Greetings, Commander!"
Two rows of men stood at attention and saluted in perfect unison, their voices so loud they seemed to lift the roof off.
Xia Mian saw Fu Yanshen, dressed in military uniform, step into the restaurant.
The man's handsome appearance carried a unique domineering arrogance, as if he were a king who looked down on the world, and everyone should grovel at his feet.
With her upright and slender figure, her perfect facial features could almost outshine any woman.
His sharp gaze swept over the crowd, and he slowly raised his hand, exuding both elegance and domineering presence. "Greetings, comrades!"
Everyone then took their seats and began to eat.
The man's sharp eyes pierced through the crowd and landed precisely on Xia Mian's face, her delicate face as smooth as a freshly peeled egg, exuding a charming beauty.
Xia Mian's heart skipped a beat. She felt that he was too aloof and superior, looking down on people who could only look up to him.
Her heart started racing again, but then she saw the man striding towards her.
Under the light, the man's sharp features were clearly defined, and his slightly pursed thin lips exuded domineering power.
She watched him walk towards her step by step, her eyes meeting his cold, clear gaze.
Fu Yanshen looked at her, her eyes were as black as lacquer and sparkled, her small face was beautiful and delicate, and among the group of relatives who came to visit, she was particularly eye-catching and attracted attention.
"It's Chief Fu!"
"The commander is walking this way!"
The military wives began to whisper among themselves, but dared not make a sound.
until!
The man's long legs stopped in front of Xia Mian. After giving a token greeting to the military wife who had come to visit, he slowly sat down.
He sat down next to Xia Mian.
The guards had already brought Fu Yanshen's food over and presented it to him with both hands.
The military wives became excited again.
"Commander Fu is so handsome and perfect!"
"It makes my husband look incredibly rough."
"I don't even want to look at my husband anymore!"
"Hey? Why is he sitting next to that little girl?"
"I must say, they're a good match! The girl is really pretty."
Hearing the whispers around her, Xia Mian slowly lowered her head, her face turning red again, much to her chagrin.
My hands, which were holding the chopsticks, were trembling.
Fu Yanshen turned his head to look at Xia Mian's bright red ears, then glanced at his younger brother and sister.
Zhao Liangyuan clearly and plainly recounted the conflict between them and the three Xia brothers.
The man's sharp and authoritative eyes swept over the three of them, his whole body radiating a chilling aura and carrying an imposing pressure. "You've really grown up, daring to start a group fight."
Xia Mian's breath hitched.
She hurriedly said, "They did it for me. My brother and Lu Lian'er have gone too far."
"Accept the punishment." Fu Yanshen's word was law. "These next few days, you two will train with everyone else. Bao Qi and Xia Mian will go to the cafeteria to help out in the kitchen."
"Brother?" Fu Yanhao was about to cry. He couldn't withstand the grueling training of special forces. He would be trained to death by his older brother!
Fu Yanchen looked at Xia Mian expectantly, "Help, help in the kitchen, I, I want to..."
He wanted to go help in the kitchen with Xia Mian.
Xia Mian has no talent for cooking. In her previous life, she had cooked and baked cookies and cakes, but they all burned... and she even blew up the kitchen!
At the time, she wanted to please her brother and grandmother, but instead she was humiliated.
She had to admit that Lu Lian'er was quite talented at making cookies and cakes, and her brothers liked it very much.
She wanted to follow suit, but things didn't go as planned.
I'm a little worried that I might blow up the army's mess hall too.
Zhao Baoqi didn't want to help in the kitchen. She was the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, and she was used to being waited on hand and foot.
Ask her to cook? How could that be?
"Big brother, please don't punish me, okay?"
"No way... I won't even cut the vegetables."
Fu Yanshen said calmly, “Military orders are absolute. Since you are in the army, you are all my soldiers.”
Xia Mian had no time to admire the man's handsome face. She sat upright at the dining table, her eyes brimming with tears, her heart filled with worry about what would happen to her once she joined the cooking squad.
She didn't even notice that the man had already placed a chicken leg on the plate in front of her.
She chewed on the chicken leg unconsciously. When she had almost finished the chicken leg, she suddenly widened her eyes and stared at the chicken leg she was holding with her chopsticks. Wait, she didn't seem to have taken a chicken leg.
"Brother, you're being unfair! You didn't even give me a chicken leg!" Zhao Baoqi looked at Fu Yanshen with a mournful expression.
Fu Yanshen raised an eyebrow. "Yanhao, go get Baoqi a chicken leg."
"Spotted!" Zhao Baoqi muttered his dissatisfaction under his breath.
Fu Yanshen's gaze fell on Xia Mian's face. "Baoqi, you are different from her."
Xia Mian lowered her head, her face stiffening.
Looking at the chicken leg in front of me with a sour taste in my mouth, I found it hard to swallow.
Yes, she's different from Baoqi.
She was just a guest staying at the Fu family's house.
She can't keep being so shameless!
Baoqi is his sister.
Once the twins have recovered from their injuries, she'll buy a small apartment and move back home.
She wants a home of her own!
Feeling down, I had no appetite for the delicious food in front of me.
She felt as if the racing heartbeat in her heart had suddenly plummeted into an abyss, never to bounce back up.
The high-ranking leader is like a flower on a high mountain, someone whom everyone looks up to.
He had only coaxed her into calling him "brother" before, probably just to amuse her, right? She suddenly felt like a clown.
Xia Mian's mind was racing, filled with mixed emotions. She felt a little sad, and a sense of inexplicable loss.
