Chapter 2082: Chapter 2101: Heartbeat Accelerates
Humph! The bastard who dared to wrong my cousin Zi’an, now that he’s fallen into our hands, let’s see him suffer!
Shen Feihu had heartily appreciated the idea of transferring Xie Yibin to his 39th Brigade, brilliant move! Everyone in the army knows he and Shen Zian are cousins! Though distant, he’s close to cousin Zi’an!
Revenge, as they say, is never too late, and now he’s got his chance.
Kong Jie joined in, eager for chaos, "Makes sense, I think the little girl said quite a lot, Xie Yibin, you’re indeed ugly! She wasn’t wrong!" He never showed a good face to Xie Yibin.
If they met during military meetings, he’d want to spit on that bastard’s face.
Xie Yibin’s mouth was twisting with anger, almost coughing up blood, his face purpling, yet he couldn’t say a single word. He knew those like Shen Feihu and Kong Jie couldn’t stand him and would seize every opportunity to stomp on him.
Moreover, what he feared most, Su Hai, hadn’t said a word yet! He knew better than anyone how insidious Su Hai could be, the toughest one of all.
Su Hai’s deep, reserved eyes gazed at the back of Shen Zian, filled with unnoticed affection and reluctance.
"Let’s go, let’s go, hurry inside, everyone’s standing at the door."
"Yes, yes, quickly come in, quickly come in." Although honest, Shen Weixing wasn’t slow-witted, understanding from the words of the brigade and regiment leaders that Little An was fine.
Shen Weixing brought out sofas, stools, and chairs, inviting everyone to sit. Seeing his son at home, he called over Shen Zihang for introductions, asking him to greet the uncles.
As soon as he entered, Shen Weixing was busy seating everyone, urging Shen Zian to help serve water: "Little An, guests are here, quickly serve water!"
"Got it!" Shen Zian actually regretted yelling at Xie Yibin, feeling she shouldn’t have been impulsive, let alone saying such insignificant nonsense. She never used to make such low-level mistakes. Since becoming Shen An, her mentality had changed.
"Third Aunt, you serve the water! I’ll help with the other things," Shen Zian didn’t want to serve water. These people used to be her lackeys, but now they’ve all become leaders, calling on her to serve tea and water, no chance.
Having guests at home, it’s reasonable for the hostess to entertain, and nearly everything was busy in the kitchen, with Sun Fang’s help making Shen Zian unnecessary. She took advantage of Zhao Honglian serving water to head out alone.
"Aunt Sun, I’m heading out for a walk first."
"Alright!" Sun Fang agreed. The house wasn’t that big, and when Little An called someone ugly, both she and Zhao Honglian heard it in the kitchen, and it scared them. They also worried she might cause trouble, so when Shen Zian wanted to go out, they didn’t hold her back, just reminding her not to forget the meal time, estimating another half hour until dinner.
The living room buzzed with excitement, Shen Feihu and Kong Jie were loud voices, coupled with Xue Hongxing and Shen Weixing, discussing training, life, and other matters that could go on for half the day without pause. Even Su Hai called Han Zihang over to tease.
Xie Yibin felt left out as though forgotten.
Su Hai sat with his elongated, upright figure on a small stool, blocking half the door, his long legs inconveniently obstructing Shen Zian’s path out.
The two met eyes, one seated, one standing, their gazes intersecting in mid-air.
Su Hai’s eyes were dark as ink, as if hiding a bottomless abyss, giving the illusion that even your soul could be sucked in as you looked into them.
Suddenly, he chuckled lightly.
Shen Zian snapped back, "Please move aside, thank you!" Damn it, what was she thinking just now? Why did her heartbeat seem to quicken?
Shen Zian turned away, slightly intimidated by Su Hai’s gaze but considering she shouldn’t be cowardly, she daringly looked back.
Now, Su Hai’s smile deepened, regarding her leisurely, "Where are you headed?"
