So Fan Xi obediently released the hand around Zhao Yilu's waist and stood obediently not far from him, his eyes full of tenderness and love.
Zhao Yilu skillfully heated the oil in a wok, his movements smooth and graceful.
The oil in the wok was sizzling, and he put the cut ingredients into the wok one by one. In an instant, the kitchen was filled with an enticing aroma.
Fan Xi took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time. I really miss this taste!"
While Zhao Yilu was stir-frying the vegetables in the wok, he turned his head and looked at Fan Xi with a smile, "I'm so proud that I can win my wife's stomach!" His eyes were full of pride as he spoke.
Not long after, a sumptuous dinner was ready. Fan Xi felt as if she had been hungry for several days and ate two large bowls of rice. It was really that Zhao Yilu's cooking was really to her taste.
After finishing the meal, she couldn't help but complain to Zhao Yilu, "It's all your fault. I'm so full now, my food is a little uncooked!"
Zhao Yilu was full of helplessness. He could only clean up the dishes and then take Fan Xi for a stroll in the military family compound.
As soon as I walked out of the hospital, I saw Zhao Xiaoyan next door. Zhao Xiaoyan was no longer sarcastic as usual, her face was full of smiles. "Hey, Captain Zhao and Sister Fan are out for a walk. You two are really in love!"
Fan Xi and Zhao Yilu smiled and nodded. Just as they were about to leave, Zhao Xiaoyan asked again, "Captain Zhao, is your leg injury completely healed? When you go to the special operations force, don't forget my Zhigang. You two have been partners before. If the special operations force needs a battalion commander, remember to recommend my Zhigang first!"
Fan Xi was just wondering why Zhao Xiaoyan was so enthusiastic today, it turned out that she was planning this.
In the past, she was always afraid that Zhao Yilu would steal her man's limelight and be promoted to battalion commander ahead of schedule. Unexpectedly, after this mission, Zhao Yilu directly won first-class merit and was promoted to regimental commander. Now she was completely free of jealousy, so she greeted him with a smile now.
Zhao Yilu smiled and said, "Captain Chen is very capable. Promotion is only a matter of time. Don't worry, sister-in-law."
Zhao Xiaoyan heard Zhao Yilu's affirmation of her man and felt that Zhao Yilu must have taken her words to heart. She immediately smiled and said, "You are right. My Zhigang is just too honest. There is absolutely no problem with his ability."
Fan Xi didn't want to say anything more to Zhao Xiaoyan, so he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, let's talk when you have time. We still have some things to do, so let's not talk for now."
After saying that, he pulled Zhao Yilu away.
The two of them walked quickly through the alley of the military family compound and came to the open space behind the compound where vegetables were grown. The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness and also taking away the faint awkwardness in the air when talking with Zhao Xiaoyan.
Fan Xi held Zhao Yilu's arm tightly, leaning his head slightly on his shoulder, enjoying the tranquility and intimacy.
"I really didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoyan would have such a side to her." Fan Xi said softly, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
Zhao Yilu held Fan Xi's arm with his free hand, and said with a touch of wisdom and gentleness, "People's hearts are complicated. Everyone has their own calculations and considerations. It's normal to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak."
Fan Xi nodded and did not continue the topic with Zhao Yilu.
The two continued their stroll as the night deepened. The lights in the military compound twinkled like stars in the night sky, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet night.
