"You guys work so hard, so don't bother cooking. I'm back today, so let me cook. By the way, are the dishes ready?" Phoebe said first.
"Well, how can that be possible? There are so many guests, it's not good for us to just sit there, let us come." The old father looked distressed. His daughter was fighting in the army and she finally came back safely. How could he bear to let his daughter suffer again?
"No, I'm grown up now. You have to listen to me and sit down and rest. I know how hard work in the hospital is." Phoebe rejected her father's proposal with an unhappy look on her face.
Without saying anything, he pulled his parents over and started introducing his comrades-in-arms to them.
"This is Xila, my captain. She is so nice and she took care of me a lot in the army." Phoebe introduced Xila first.
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Xila said quickly.
"Thank you, Captain Xila. Our daughter has received a lot of care from you. You've mentioned you frequently in the letters you wrote home. Now that you're at our house today, you must relax and have a good time."
“Hmm…”
"And this one is our adjutant, Cecia..."
In this way, with Xila's introduction, I finally arrived at Wu Jie's place.
Well, I'm the last one, maybe I'm the highlight? Wu Jie was a little surprised.
"This is..." Phoebe pointed at Wu Jie. Before she could say anything, Phoebe's father stepped forward, took Wu Jie's hand and said, "You are Phoebe's boyfriend, right?"
"Huh?" Xila was petrified.
"Huh?" Qingqiu Yu was stunned.
"No..." Cecia was shocked.
"Puff..." The water that Boa had just drunk sprayed out instantly.
"What's going on?" Minnie Ann looked around.
Only Wei Ye and Tang Ling were holding their cups and drinking water, calmly.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the house became a little strange.
The temperature in the air seemed to drop by three points. Phoebe felt like a patient whose oxygen tube had been pulled out, and her brain felt a sudden lack of oxygen.
However, Phoebe's father, who was completely unaware of the situation, smiled and shook Wu Jie's hand and said, "Phoebe has been taken care of by you during this time in the army. I've wanted to see you for a long time, and today I finally got the chance. Come on, let's talk inside."
Just like that, Wu Jie was dragged into another room by the old father with a confused look on his face.
"Ah!" If Phoebe could scream at this moment, she would definitely shake the whole building down.
When I looked back, I saw several murderous eyes looking at me. It was so scary. If these eyes could kill, I would have died thousands of times already!
"Oh my, come here, everyone must be thirsty. Auntie will cut some fruits for everyone." Phoebe's mother didn't seem to notice the murderous intent of the crowd at all. She took out a large plate of fruit that had been prepared in advance from the refrigerator and pulled everyone to the living room.
Wu Jie was dragged inside with a confused look on his face. He quickly said, "Uncle, are you mistaken? I'm not Phoebe's boyfriend."
"How could we have made a mistake..." As soon as Phoebe was pulled into the inner room, her father's eyes immediately turned kind.
"Good boy, you have taken away my daughter's heart when she was so young. If you dare to let her lose even a hair, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!" Phoebe's father's tone gradually became distorted.
Wu Jie broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "I won't let Phoebe lose a hair, I promise. But I'm really not her boyfriend!"
Phoebe's father glared and said, "How is this possible! My daughter clearly wrote in her letter that she has someone she loves. You are the only man she brought back today. If not you, then who else? Tell me the truth! How did you take my daughter away from me?"
"I, I, I really don't know."
"Still pretending!"
"I didn't! There must be some misunderstanding here!"
"Anyway, I, an old man, don't have many years left to live. You can make up whatever you want. Anyway, my daughter is in your hands now. If you don't treat her well, I will never let you go."
"Well, uncle, there must be a misunderstanding!"
Wu Jie was still trying to explain, because he really couldn't understand how he became Phoebe's boyfriend. A letter? Could it be that something in Phoebe's letter had been misunderstood by her parents?
No, I must ask Phoebe about this matter in detail later. I have been wronged so badly.
"Okay, now that we've come to this, I believe you're not unreasonable. I don't care if you're her boyfriend or not. We're in the same army, and if anything happens to her, I'll hold you accountable!"
"Yes!" Wu Jie agreed quickly. Even if Phoebe's father didn't say it, he knew it, but he just didn't understand what was going on.
As soon as he left the inner room, he noticed that the atmosphere in the living room was a little strange. He saw several pairs of eyes falling on him, and Wu Jie couldn't help but shiver.
Due to the information control implemented in the military, ordinary soldiers can only communicate with their families through letters, etc., because the safe areas use ordinary signals, and special signals are not popular in civilian use. Therefore, using civilian signal transmitters is likely to expose the location of the military camp, so such an ancient communication method was chosen. Letter transmission and other methods cannot achieve real-time communication, so there will definitely be a time difference in information. In other words, it may be because of the information difference and other reasons that Phoebe's parents had a misunderstanding.
When Wu Jie came out, he thought of a lot of things, and there was no other way to explain it. He could only ask Phoebe to confirm it.
Phoebe, Xila and Qingqiu Yu were actually crowded together in the kitchen cooking.
"Um, do you need my help?" Wu Jie came to the kitchen and just as he opened his mouth, he noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.
Two pairs of eyes immediately fell on Wu Jie. Wu Jie felt a chill all over his body, as if a layer of frost had formed on his body.
Phoebe was cutting vegetables with an embarrassed look on her face, as if she was distracted.
Seeing that the three of them didn't say anything, Wu Jie assumed that they agreed, so he walked forward and started to help.
"Hey, sir?" Phoebe, who was absent-minded, finally saw Wu Jie coming.
"Phoebe, I have something to tell you later." Wu Jie said kindly.
Phoebe immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "Okay, okay sir! Yes sir! Got it sir!"
"Well, sir, go help Xila. She seems to need help." Phoebe said, pointing at Xila who was busy and sweating.
Wu Jie turned his head to look at Xila, and immediately frowned.
Xila was making wontons, but I don’t know if he was a master of abstract art. The wontons were wrapped in strange shapes, each one looking like an ancient ferocious beast.
