Chapter 2068: Chapter 2086: Little Girl, Come Here
Shen Feihu was talking to Kong Jie. A few people stood together and felt someone watching them from behind. This is the soldier’s keen instinct. Turning around according to the feeling, they immediately spotted a young girl standing by the wall not far away, and felt a small surprise in their hearts.
The young girl looked quite young, fair-skinned, but surprisingly bold, daring to meet his gaze.
Quite rare!
The commander’s every move was the focus of everyone’s attention, so naturally, they noticed the young girl standing by the wall. Someone laughed and said, "Old Kong, is that young girl from your Third Regiment?"
Kong Jie scratched his head and asked the political commissar beside him, only then realizing, "Oh! She’s the niece of one of our deputy company commanders, here for a family visit."
So, she was one of their own. Shen Feihu waved a hand at Shen Zian.
"Young girl, come here."
Shen Zian pointed to herself, with hundreds of reasons not to go over. She was obviously being very discreet, hiding here, so why call her over?
Besides, she felt quite uncomfortable in her heart!
The ones who used to hold lower positions than her were now all doing so well, while she had become a little girl, without even the qualification to be a soldier. Such a comparison was too depressing!
"Come over!" Shen Feihu was a blunt brute, and upon calling without receiving a response, he wanted to roll up his sleeves and yell. Thinking that she was just a young girl, he refrained from frightening her and held back.
Seeing there was no escape, Shen Zian had to muster the courage to step forward, grumbling constantly in her heart that these were all her former underlings.
That’s right! Even Shen Feihu was her underling.
Although Shen Feihu was technically her cousin, his starting point was lower, his talent not as high as hers, and his rank was lower. Now, in the blink of an eye, everything had changed dramatically for both of them, and it was a bit hard to adjust to for the moment.
Shen Zian walked up to Shen Feihu, clearly unhappy, looking at him discontentedly without even addressing him.
Others were dumbfounded. Shen Weixing and Xue Hongxing both felt nervous for her. Although the commander was easygoing, you shouldn’t be so impolite!
Kong Jie’s fan-like hand patted Shen Zian’s frail shoulder, causing her to stagger unprepared, nearly falling. Luckily, someone nearby quickly helped her, and she steadied herself against a solid chest.
All the others who wanted to offer a hand were stunned, forgetting to withdraw their hands, looking amazed.
Is this... is this still the Foxy Su they knew?
Who didn’t know Foxy Su had a cleanliness obsession?
There had always been rumors that he remained unmarried at his age because of this. Whether or not it was true, his cleanliness obsession was indeed real; otherwise, he wouldn’t be in a clerical position. Those familiar knew Foxy Su was quite capable in both skills and military quality.
Definitely not a weakling as others might imagine.
After Shen Zian steadied herself, she unobtrusively distanced herself from the person beside her. This was her habit developed from childhood, instinctively keeping a cautious distance from unfamiliar people.
Su Hai had a gentle demeanor, and after the person left his arms, he didn’t say anything but unconsciously rubbed his thumb against the pads of his other four fingers, feeling the familiar warmth lingering on the skin.
Already deeply ingrained in his body.
"Thank you!" Shen Zian turned back to express her gratitude, not expecting that the person who had just helped her was actually Su Er. A moment of surprise flashed in her eyes before she quickly covered it up.
She already knew Su Er was meticulous, but there was no need to worry. In her current situation, even the most trusted Ji Yuanjie had to verify before believing her, let alone others. It’s likely that even if she ran to Su Er and said she was Shen Zian, he wouldn’t believe it.
