Xie Zhenhua and Chu Xingbang were comrades-in-arms when they were young and had a good relationship, so their families had very close ties.
The Xie family's situation was similar to that of the Chu family. They had earned their merits through real battles, and most of their sons and nephews were soldiers. Many of them had sacrificed their lives, and those who survived held important positions.
The Chu and Xie families were among the most prominent families in the military circles of the capital.
"Ah Xun, are the Yicheng family also soldiers?" Li Xiyue asked.
Chu Xun explained, "Yicheng's grandfather was my grandfather's adjutant when he was young. He later sacrificed his life. Yicheng's father was a soldier. He grew up with my father and they were like brothers, but he also sacrificed his life later... So my grandfather took him and Aunt Tian into his home to take care of them."
So that's how it is.
Li Xiyue asked in a low voice, "Does Yicheng like Xie Mingying?"
"That's right."
“But Xie Mingying seems more interested in you,” Li Xiyue said, smiling at him.
Chu Xun said seriously, "I have no interest in her, and I have never given her any hope."
"I believe that." Li Xiyue shook the hand he had been holding. "With so many people watching, aren't you ashamed?"
Chu Xun declared his sovereignty: "You are mine."
"Yes, I'm yours, and I can't run away." Li Xiyue really couldn't do anything about him.
"Look, Ah Xun is really good to Yueyue," Xie's father said with a smile from the sofa.
Mother Xie nodded repeatedly, "I've never seen Ah Xun be so considerate and gentle to any girl before. I didn't know Ah Xun had such a gentle side."
"Is this still the same Ah Xun who never got close to women?" Xie Mingying's older brother, Xie Ming'an, said with a laugh.
Xie Mingying's second brother, Xie Mingding, was stunned. "This can't be our Xun."
Everyone laughed.
"Ah Xun, come here, I have something to tell you." Xie Zhenhua beckoned to him.
Chu Xun asked, "Shall we go together?"
"I want to go take a look in the yard. You go ahead and don't worry about me."
Li Xiyue came into the courtyard, breathed in the fresh air, and felt refreshed.
"Comrade Xiyue." Ye Tian walked up to her and greeted her with a smile.
Li Xiyue smiled in response, "How is Director Ye's health?"
"Thanks to your timely intervention yesterday, otherwise, I estimate I would be..." he said, shrugging.
Li Xiyue smiled and asked, "Do you have a congenital heart condition?"
"Yes, it's something I brought from my mother's womb."
"Then why not bring the medicine with you?"
Ye Tian's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly recovered. "I was in a rush to leave yesterday and forgot about it."
Li Xiyue looked at him closely and said, "You must never forget this again. If you don't get treatment in time, it can be very dangerous."
"Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely remember." Ye Tian smiled gently, then, thinking of something, asked, "Your medical skills are very impressive, where did you learn them?"
"It's a family-inherited medical skill." Li Xiyue didn't want to talk too much about medical skills with him. "It's a bit cold, I'll go in first."
Ye Tian followed up, "Where's the medicine you gave me yesterday?"
"Homemade."
"You know how to make pharmaceuticals?"
Before Li Xiyue could speak, Chu Xun walked over, took her hand, and pulled her to his side. "Director Ye, you can tell me anything. My Yueyue is young and timid, so please don't frighten her."
Li Xiyue suppressed a laugh; Chu Xun's lies just came out of his mouth so easily.
Ye Tianyu said gently, "Commander Chu has misunderstood. I was just thanking Comrade Xiyue for saving me yesterday, that's all."
"I think expressing gratitude with words is too pale. It would be better to show something tangible. After all, Director Ye's life is quite precious, isn't it?"
He's the director of a medical research institute; surely his life isn't worth only twenty dollars?
Li Xiyue chuckled inwardly; her Ah Xun was a man of two tongues.
Ye Tian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Commander Chu is right."
