Liao Mingyu didn't know why he followed the girl in front of him back home.
Don’t you look a bit like an animal like this?
Maybe he couldn't bear to reject this girl who was full of expectations, or maybe he was really tired and wanted to find a quiet place to rest.
Yes, that's it, Liao Mingyu comforted himself repeatedly in his heart.
"What are you doing? Come in and let it go."
Looking at Liao Mingyu who was in a daze at the door, Xiaozui greeted him doubtfully.
"Oh, right away."
Liao Mingyu touched his nose, smiled awkwardly, and then walked into the small courtyard.
"The house is a mess and I haven't done much to clean it up. You sit down first and drink a glass of water while I clean it up!"
“No trouble”
Xiaozui quickly moved a chair and asked him to sit down. He hurriedly went to tidy up the somewhat rundown courtyard. She didn't want to leave a bad impression on Liao Mingyu.
Looking at Xiao Zui who was busy and clumsy in the courtyard, Liao Mingyu burst into laughter. This little girl has such a simple and cute idea.
The furnishings in this small courtyard are very simple. Weeds and wildflowers have not had time to be cleared away, and debris is piled aside to gather dust. The only place in this courtyard that could be used to treat people was Xiaozui's clean and tidy bedroom.
She is also a person who has very few needs in life. A simple environment can meet all her needs, and she doesn't care about other things.
"Come here, I'm sorry to make you laugh. I'll give you some water. You can wipe yourself first."
"Oh, by the way, are you hungry? I'll cook you something to eat."
Xiaozui, who had been busy for a while, struggled to carry a large wooden bucket filled with water, lifted his bangs, and handed a clean towel to Liao Mingyu.
Liao Mingyu quickly stepped forward to help. Looking at Xiao Zui who was tired and sweating profusely, he said with some embarrassment:
"Thank you, um...it's a good thing you didn't tell me, my stomach is just growling."
"Okay, just wait!"
Xiaozui lifted her bangs in front of her eyes, smiled sweetly at Liao Mingyu, and hurried out again.
This girl is so hot-tempered.
Shaking his head, Liao Mingyu unbuttoned his shirt and took off his military uniform, which was stained with mud, dirt, and the blood of the enemy.
Feeling sticky and smelly, I turned my head and looked in the mirror on Xiao Zui's table. Alas, living in the smoke of gunfire for so many days, looking unkempt and disheveled like a savage who drank blood from his hair, made him speechless.
Without thinking too much, Liao Mingyu quickly picked up the towel and carefully wiped the blood on his body and face.
After a while... Xiaozui walked in with a bowl of steaming noodles. Looking at Liao Mingyu with his upper body exposed, she was unprepared for a moment and was so surprised that her mouth turned into an O shape.
"You...oh, why do you have so many scars on your body?"
Seeing that Liao Mingyu's upper body was covered with large and small scars, Xiao Zui was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth.
Turning his head to look at the surprised Xiaozui, Liao Mingyu smiled nonchalantly: "Oh? Those were all done when he was a soldier. They are all healed now. It's okay."
I didn't expect him to suffer so many injuries. Those scars scratched by sharp objects, and the bullet marks left as if they were hit by bullets. It deeply hurt Xiaozui's heart.
"These...must be very painful."
"It doesn't hurt anymore. I'm a thick-skinned person. To put it simply, I can resist beatings. Haha, they are just minor injuries, nothing to do."
He put down the bowl and walked up to Liao Mingyu, looking at the criss-cross scars on his body and the arm that had been grazed by bullets and still wrapped in gauze. Xiaozui felt extremely uncomfortable, tears welling up in her eyes.
It must have been very painful at the time. After so many injuries, he could still joke around here. It was true. He is stronger than his brother.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm so embarrassed. Hey, don't cry! Don't think blindly. I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, just touch me."
Liao Mingyu panicked when he saw tears in Xiaozui's eyes. In this life, he is not afraid of anything except seeing a woman cry.
"Let me wipe it for you."
After saying that, Xiaozui took his towel, washed it thoroughly in the water, and wiped him up seriously.
Touching his nose, Liao Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. His tense body allowed Xiaozui's delicate hands to wipe his body.
I feel a little dizzy in my head. I just drank seven or eight taels of white wine, and now I'm feeling drunk as well. Plus, those soft, boneless hands caressed his chest. Liao Mingyu actually felt a little strange...
Damn, this is so disappointing.
Apart from gritting his teeth and silently reciting in his mind that form is emptiness and emptiness is form, this guy didn't dare to make any move.
At this moment, the whole small room couldn't help but feel a little more charming...
"Okay!"
After a while, looking at Liao Mingyu who suddenly became clean and refreshed, Xiaozui breathed a sigh of relief, with some beads of sweat on his red face.
Liao Mingyu quickly picked up his clothes and wanted to put them on. It was better not to talk too much at this time.
"Hey, wait a minute. Your clothes are dirty. Let me wash them for you. My brother still has some clothes here. I'll find them for you right away."
Xiaozui stopped Liao Mingyu and quickly got up and dug out some of his brother's clothes in the closet.
"My brother wore it. Don't dislike it. Try this shirt on to see if it fits."
Looking at Liao Mingyu putting on his clothes, although his shoulders are a bit small, the overall appearance is not bad. Xiaozui suddenly showed a satisfied smile.
"Come and eat!"
Xiaozui pressed Liao Mingyu on the stool, and sat opposite him, holding her cheeks and looking at him expectantly.
The scene at this moment is like the feeling of a little daughter-in-law looking forward to the return of her husband after a long absence, and happily busying herself with laundry and cooking for him.
This warm scene made Liao Mingyu slowly relax his tense nerves. How could he be as relaxed and comfortable as he was now, during this period of time when he was sleeping in the open air.
"Okay, let's try your craft."
After saying this, Tie Hanhan began to immerse himself in eating. Not to mention, although this girl is sometimes clumsy, her cooking skills are really good.
Having said that, is this a natural skill of Sichuan people? It feels like every Sichuanese knows how to cook.
"Is it delicious?"
"Good... pool... nice pool." Liao Mingyu said vaguely with noodles still in his mouth.
"Really, then you can come over whenever you are free, and I will cook for you."
"Uh-huh."
Xiaozui smiled happily, there is nothing happier than getting approval from the person you love.
A bowl of noodles was quickly wiped out by Liao Mingyu. Xiao Zui quickly stood up and cleared the table, while Liao Mingyu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her quietly.
His face felt slightly hot due to that scorching look, and Xiao Zui embarrassedly took the initiative to find a topic.
"Well... how about you go to fight over there? I see many soldiers are injured."
"Well... the little devil is not easy to deal with, and the brothers are also risking their lives."
"Then have you seen my brother?"
"Well... I haven't seen him. Maybe he is in another army..."
"Okay, can you tell me what happened along the way?"
Xiaozui became interested, and she simply sat next to Liao Mingyu, looking at him curiously with clear and bright eyes.
"My brother is not here, and no one usually talks to me. Why don't you tell me."
"This is a long story..."
The two of them started chatting on the bedside, asking and answering questions.
After drinking and eating, Liao Mingyu felt a little sleepy, but he couldn't bear to reject the expectant look in his eyes. In the end, he didn't know what he said while half asleep. Just like that, I slowly leaned against the bed and fell asleep...
Xiao Zui quickly put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt.
Looking at Liao Mingyu who was sleeping soundly, he lost his usual seriousness. His stretched brows made him look more approachable. His straight nose, angular features, and the heroic spirit he had shown in the past made the girl unable to help but be fascinated.
May I ask, which girl is not pregnant? What's more, such an outstanding and young Liao Mingyu.
He is so good-looking, but why is he still smiling when he is asleep?
The corners of his naturally raised mouth seemed to be still smiling. Xiao Zui was immediately curious.
After watching for a while, Xiao Zui, whose cheeks were burning, came back to his senses and sighed slightly in his heart.
Alas, he is still a regiment leader and a great hero, how can he look down on a humble little girl like me?
…
at the same time. A city thousands of miles away...
Bayu, this legendary city built on the mountains, is filled with continuous drizzle.
No. 101 De'anli, the head of state's office. A slender bald man was sitting at the table, frowning as he read the confidential messages.
A black figure stood silently behind him with his hands lowered.
"Mother Xipi, what kind of battle is that in Henan? Is Jiang Dingwen a waste? Even hundreds of thousands of people in the first theater can't stop the Japanese attack?!"
"Don't get angry, head of state, and take care of yourself." The middle-aged man behind him said in a low voice.
After losing his temper, Baldhead finally calmed down, picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and asked casually: "How is the situation in Myanmar?"
The middle-aged man lowered his head slightly and immediately reported to him:
"The situation is not very optimistic. All the troops have suffered serious losses. Commander Luo has ordered one of his troops to withdraw to India."
"However, the 200th Division, under the leadership of General Dai, held on for 12 days in Tonggu, killing more than 5,000 Japanese troops, covering the retreat of the Allied forces, and buying valuable time for the subsequent assembly of our troops."
"What a great Diane, she is truly the pride of Huangpu!"
The bald man clapped his hands in excitement. The tea cup clanged as he stamped on it.
The middle-aged man continued to say, adhering to the concept of reporting good things but not bad things:
"Although the entire battle situation was not particularly ideal, there were still several generals who achieved good results, led by General Dai and General Sun."
"Well, not bad. I will definitely reward you personally when the time comes."
The bald head nodded with satisfaction.
The middle-aged man looked at the bald man's back, paused, and then chose to speak again:
“However, according to intelligence, there was another student from Huangpu yesterday who severely attacked the Japanese army at a peak called Nantianmen on the border of western Yunnan, annihilating more than 2,000 enemies, curbing the Japanese’s eastward invasion, and demonstrating the majesty of China. "
"Oh? What's his name?"
"Huangpu Phase 6, Liao Mingyu!"
