How could Shen Jingyu not be worried about Su Xing? But at this moment, he had no choice!
The people they were monitoring had already sent over the route; one after another, over a hundred corpses were being transported to a research facility abroad! These individuals came and went in a hurry, but only Mu Beiming was left behind.
Mu Beiyao's condition was not good! He hadn’t expected it to be so serious!
Su Xing and Mu Beiming discussed the situation with Lu Xiangzhuang and decided to administer a blocking medication first. If this medication caused adverse reactions, Mu Beiming would undoubtedly worry about his sister in the future. They could keep their parents in the dark for now, but with the phone calls urging them over the past few days, it would soon become impossible to hide!
Mu Beiming was doing his best to stop their parents from coming here and causing trouble. He was even more afraid that their excessive worry would lead to some health issues of their own!
Fortunately, at that moment, Lu Xiangzhuang stepped forward and said, "No matter what the consequences are, we will do our best to treat her. If you’re afraid of anything else, I’ll take responsibility."
The determination in Lu Xiangzhuang's eyes made Mu Beiming feel a moment of shame as a younger brother. He was grateful that Lu Zong could say such words regardless of what the future held; as Mu Beiyao's family, they should be thankful.
Lu Xiangzhuang didn’t say much more; he still had a younger sister to take care of!
Mu Beiyao was suffering from repeated fevers, constantly plagued by nightmares, and sometimes even talking nonsense. Su Xing was surprised to find that she seemed to call out Lu Xiangzhuang’s name quite often.
Su Xing secretly whispered to the gossip queen Lu Xiangyi, "I bet that once we get through this, you’ll have a sister-in-law!"
Lu Xiangyi proudly lifted her chin and replied, "I bet a hundred thousand that she’s definitely not getting away from being my sister-in-law!"
Being targeted by my brother—who knows if it’s good or bad?
Let’s just say that my days with Rong Xigu haven’t been easy for over ten days! A significant part of that is because of my brother; he hasn’t been up to any good!
Doesn’t want to mix anymore with Lu Xiangyi?
Lu Xiangzhuang walked in just in time to hear his sister’s words about him! Was it easy being an older brother? He considered everything for them, stood up for them, sought revenge for them, yet they still didn’t appreciate it!
It’s just like this! I don’t care what you did before; now that Brother Xi Gu is back, you’re not allowed to make things difficult for him anymore!
An unmarried girl is already like spilled water! You’ve already turned your elbow outwards!
"Don't bother with him!" Lu Xiangyi muttered as he walked over, checking his forehead to confirm that he didn't have a fever before stepping outside.
What’s the point of accompanying my sister? It's the future daughter-in-law who deserves more attention, right?!
Su Xing smiled and said, "Having an older brother is great! I envy you! Unlike my younger brother, I'm the one who has to worry about him all the time!"
"Xing, don't you think that older brothers and younger brothers are like the caretakers and the cared-for in this world?"
"Not necessarily! It really depends on the environment they grow up in. Their inherent personalities also play a significant role. And then there's fate; every person who appears in your life is not just a coincidence."
Buddha said, if there were no debts to settle, how could there be a meeting? Everyone you encounter in life is a form of destiny!
Su Xing accompanied Lu Xiangyi, chatting about everything under the sun, as if this would make time pass more quickly. Yet deep down, Su Xing was always thinking about that profound connection in his life.
Shen Jingyu had already arrived at a certain location near the border. The camp was rudimentary, and many were busy preparing for what would come next. Once the strategic plan was finalized, they would choose to attack.
As Su Xing mentioned, some people might be younger brothers, but their worries were no less than those of an older brother!
Gu was a model among younger brothers.
Shen Jingyu's cousin was three years younger than him. They belonged to the same unit but held different ranks; Shen Jingyu was still considered his superior.
When they met this time, Gu scrutinized Shen Jingyu from head to toe like an anxious parent and asked, "Brother, did you catch any bad illnesses while you were in the disaster zone?"
"I heard Qin Yi went over there too. After researching for so many days, all he came up with was a blocker, and we still can't confirm if it’s effective!"
"Can't you take better precautions? You're our captain! If something happens to you, what are we supposed to do?"
The main point was that he wasn't just their captain; he was also your brother, right? Rong Xigu couldn't help but be amused by this son of an Army Commander.
He always fussed over Shen Jingyu like a mother hen.
"I'm representing my mother," Rong Xigu said. "Shen Jingyu's own aunt and her husband send him triple the love!"
Shen Jingyu wasn't good at expressing himself, but he could still feel his cousin's concern for him.
"I'm fine. Tell Aunt not to worry. We're all soldiers; you should understand that whatever hardships we face, we go where we're needed! No need to fret all the time!"
Rong Xigu added with a grin, "That's right! Worrying and fearing for children is the greatest curse for them!"
Gu wouldn't listen to their twisted reasoning!
Pei Major has also arrived; he’s already cooking wild chicken soup for you all in the farthest tent! Xi Gu Ge, you’re really benefiting from my brother’s connections! You should get your share soon!
Rong Xigu raised an eyebrow at Shen Jingyu and said, “That girl came too. How did she report back home? This isn’t cloning, you know! What if something happens on a mission and the backyard catches fire when you get back?”
Shen Jingyu smacked his abdomen lightly and replied, “Mind your own business!”
Without saying much more, Shen Jingyu quickly headed off to meet with the other squad leaders. It was probably best to avoid the chicken soup anyway.
He hadn’t expected the meeting to last until midnight when the girl brought over a steaming clay pot with a sizzling sound.
“Brother, I heard you’ve been suffering in the disaster area. There’s nothing good to find here either, so I specially went up the mountain to catch a wild chicken. After preparing it, I’ve been simmering it for almost eight hours. You can’t refuse my good intentions! Come on, try it!”
Inside the tent were Rong Xigu and Gu.
Pei Yufei and Gu Ji were similar; they had grown up in the same courtyard. Their fathers were in the same unit, and even when they relocated, they ended up in the same place. So, if Pei Yufei wanted to know Shen Jingyu’s whereabouts, he could just casually ask Gu for the most accurate information!
“Pei Major, thank you for your hard work. I don’t like special treatment; I can just eat regular meals from now on.”
Although Shen Jingyu said this, under his cousin’s strong insistence, he reluctantly accepted the bowl handed to him and drank from it.
Pei Yufei winked at Gu and said, “I’m just doing this for your cousin! Your Aunt Shen watched me grow up; doing this little thing is my way of repaying him since he took care of me!”
Rong Xigu, watching the scene unfold, couldn’t help but interject, “Then why don’t you take care of her son instead? Why bother with someone else’s nephew?”
