Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Suddenly, Qin Ying seemed to ask offhandedly, ”You guys must rarely get to go out shopping in the military, right?”

”You guys” included Xia Jinyuan, Ye Jian, and also V8.

V8 was very calm, his girlfriend was clever, but when it came to King Q and Azure Bird, this kind of probing was child’s play, and it was absolutely impossible to get any information out of them.

Understanding this, Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan exchanged a glance, Ye Jian sighed and said, ”We completely lack time, and you might not believe this, but this is only the second time he and I have gone shopping together, and it’s been almost five years since the last time, right?”

Almost five years since the last shopping trip?

”That long? Then you must rarely even meet each other?” Qin Ying asked in surprise, ”I thought you were all in the same military unit.”

”No, there’s some distance between him and me.” Ye Jian only gave a brief explanation before she stopped talking about the team, instead asking Qin Ying what had caught her eye and what she planned to buy.

Having been ruthlessly rejected when inviting the Captain out, V8 finally stood alongside Xia Jinyuan; seizing the moment when Qin Ying was not paying attention, he quickly said, ”Captain, you’re undermining me. I have something to discuss with you, about your love rival, and yet you still refuse.”

Previously in the hospital, he noticed that Ye Jian and her future sister-in-law seemed to have an extraordinary relationship, and though he was a man who tended to be thick-skinned, he could still tell that his future brother-in-law’s gaze toward Ye Jian was unusual.

Moreover, when he took his future mother-in-law home early this morning, she repeatedly hinted and asked about Ye Jian on the way, forcing him to respond evasively. When asked about the relationship between Ye Jian and the Captain, he of course praised them continuously. The future mother-in-law also asked if he knew Ye Jian and Xia family’s Little Six, to which he replied with a simple ”I only know of them, not close” to dismiss the future mother-in-law’s curiosity. Ah, that journey was truly uncomfortable.

Their Captain, it seemed like no one knew he was Special Forces, everyone thought he was a do-nothing scion, even though he had attended a prestigious university, he was now just lazing through life.

It had to be said, the Captain used to be quite the rogue; all these years had passed, and people still thought of him as a profligate.

Xia Jinyuan glanced at V8, unable to stop worrying about his comrade’s intelligence, ”Have you not actually tried to understand Qin Ying? Qin Ying, the legendary figure of The First Experimental High School, even I, three grades below her, knew about her consistently leading performance at school.”

”Do you think she’s pretty and treated her like a vase? Trying to be clever under her watch is just asking to be caught.”

As they stood together, Qin Ying’s gaze swept over them lightly. With a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, V8 chuckled, ”Yeah, I didn’t bring anything when I visited Xiaoying’s house the other day, so we decided to come shopping this evening while we had time.” He really didn’t expect his luck to be so good; not only did he get to go shopping with his girlfriend, but he also ran into the Captain buying clothes for Ye Jian. He hadn’t expected the Captain to have such a tender side hidden beneath his tough exterior, no, no, no, not tender, but rather, a side of being an eager to please subordinate.

It really wasn’t easy, truly not easy.

In training, he was always extra strict with Ye Jian, but when it came to everyday life, he switched roles, becoming a pushover.

Facing his comrade’s incongruous answers, Xia Jinyuan laughed coldly, ”You really think of Qin Ying as a three-year-old kid. My relationship with you as comrades doesn’t need to be hidden from her, Qin Xiu knows as well, just don’t tell Madam Qin and that’ll do.”
