Military Young Master’s Sweetheart - Chapter 30
Shen led Xia Xingyu to a restaurant for chicken soup. It was a restaurant opened by an old acquaintance of his. Although it was a bit remote, it was also clean and convenient.
“Payne?”
“Oh god, it’s really you! We haven’t seen each other for a while!”
The man was surprised to see Shen Peian, but Xia Xingyu had long jumped out of his arms.
Otherwise, if he were to be seen by this person, he would probably be like Pei Zi Yun, blindly teasing him.
Shen Peian pulled Xia Xingyu to a seat and said to the man.
“Give me a big bowl of chicken soup!”
“Alright!”
Shen Peian had never brought a girl to drink chicken soup with him. Could it be that this kid had started bringing female soldiers?
With these questions in mind, Shen Peian’s friend went into the kitchen.
He was a comrade of Shen Peian’s called Zheng Duo. One of his eyes could not be seen because he had injured his eye on a previous mission.
Xia Xingyu didn’t know what was going on. She looked around the restaurant, wondering what she should say to Shen Peian.
“That… Your friend is quite handsome! ”
Xia Xingyu carelessly said this. Shen Pei An’s eyes darkened as he glanced towards the kitchen.
“Yeah, he’s better than me.”
What he meant was that Shen Pei An meant that he was not bad either.
Xia Xingyu extremely disdainfully twisted her mouth, and her stomach began to clamor again.
“Chicken soup will have to wait for a while longer, you guys eat some side dishes first!”
Zheng Duo placed a few plates of stir-fry in front of the two of them. He was much more perceptive than Pei Zi Yun. Under such circumstances, Zheng Duo would never suddenly sit down and act like a light bulb.
Shen Pei An didn’t say anything, and the two brothers looked at each other. Naturally, everything that they said was kept in their hearts.
“It’s been hard on you!”
Xia Xingyu smiled at Zheng Duo; she picked up her chopsticks and was about to start eating when Shen Peian quickly picked up a piece of meat for her.
“Eat!”
Zheng Duo instantly understood how much Shen Peian had doted on her. It looked like this girl was the one that Pei Zi Yun had been talking about every day.
“So it’s Pei An’s little girlfriend. No wonder this brat is so nervous. Sister-in-law, you’re so delicious, I’ll go take a look at the fire!”
Zheng Duo chuckled, looking very much like Master Pei.
Xia Xingyu’s expression instantly froze. She was stupefied as she ate her meal, her heart inexplicably feeling a little depressed.
“Don’t you think you’ve been too kind to me, Shen Peian? “No matter what, this is still a troop …”
Xia Xingyu’s tone wasn’t very good, and her expression was somewhat distant. She was accusing Shen Peian.
“So?”
Shen Peian had just eaten two mouthfuls, and after listening to Xia Xingyu’s words, he put down his chopsticks.
“Therefore, it’s best if we keep our distance.”
Xia Xingyu’s words didn’t seem like a joke. She was seriously trying to get Shen Peian to cut off their relationship.
But the two of them, from the moment Xia Xingyu saved Shen Peian, were already in a state of turmoil.
“Oh.”
Shen Payan responded to his words indifferently and continued eating, as if he didn’t care about Xia Xingyu’s words at all.
However, only he himself knew that the mysterious feeling of loss was currently plugging into his heart.
The air pressure between the two of them was very low, Zheng Duo noticed it when he came out. He looked at Shen Peian, then at Xia Xingyu and laughed.
“Do you two dislike the food I cook? Why are all of them frowning? ”
Xia Xingyu heard this and quickly waved his hand.
“No, no, the food you make is very delicious.”
Shen Pei An snorted coldly. This woman could speak kindly of others, but she just had to dislike him all sorts of things?
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He glared at Zheng Duo.
Zheng Duo was the one who was truly wronged. He shuddered for no reason and did not dare to stay any longer.
“You guys eat! I’ll go see the fire. ”
With Zheng’s departure, the atmosphere between Xia Xingyu and Shen Peian became icy once again. By the time the chicken soup was served, they were already full.
“Burp ~”
Xia Xingyu really couldn’t hold it in. Facing this big pot of chicken soup, she was truly powerless.
“Zheng Duo, pack your bags.”
He cleaned up the mess in front of him and quickly stood up.
Xia Xingyu also got up. Their eyes met and they quickly looked away.
“It’s best to drink while it’s hot when we get back.”
Zheng Duo passed the packed chicken soup to the two of them. Xia Xingyu and Shen Peian reached out their hands at the same time. They didn’t think that their hands would actually touch each other.
Xia Xingyu quickly withdrew her hand, her face was covered with an unnatural red color.
“Payne’s ready.”
Zheng Duo Rao smiled meaningfully at Xia Xingyu. He obviously handed the chicken soup to Shen Peian and smiled at Xia Xingyu, which was quite strange.
Shen Peian accepted the bowl of chicken soup and walked out first. Xia Xingyu nodded at Zheng Duo and followed him out.
The two of them did not talk much along the way. Shen Pei An spoke less and the air seemed to freeze over.
“Shen Peian?”
Xia Xingyu couldn’t stand the atmosphere, and shouted in a low voice, but she didn’t know what her name was.
Shen Pei An walked away, not even looking back. He was angry.
“Shen Peian … “I’m sorry.”
Xia Xingyu was frightened, she couldn’t stand this kind of strange and silent man.
She ran after him and pulled his hand away unnaturally. The man didn’t shake her off, but he also didn’t hold Xia Xingyu’s hand.
“I know my words hurt you, but I didn’t mean it. I just …”
“But …”
Xia Xingyu stuttered for a long time, but still couldn’t find the reason. Shen Peian didn’t seem to care what she had to say, as he walked to the entrance of the army and stopped before it.
He said, “Pay attention to the effect.”
Xia Xingyu stared blankly for a moment before releasing Shen Peian’s hand.
“I’m sorry.”
She said something else, but Shen Peian acted as if he hadn’t heard her, and walked away, leaving Xia Xingyu at a loss as to what to do next.
When did she become so dependent on Shen Peian?
Xia Xingyu was scared out of her wits. She wanted revenge. Now that she was so weak and dependent on others, how could she?!
She pursed the corner of her lips and let out a bitter laugh. Just as she calmed down, she suddenly heard someone call out her name.
He looked over. It was Fu Guoqian. He still dared to come?
Xia Xingyu held her head high and puffed out her chest, giving herself a strong aura. She walked towards Fu Guoqian as if she was looking at a ghost, but her heart was full of resistance towards him.
“What’s wrong? Brother National Authority? ”
Xia Xingyu’s voice was soft and her attitude shocked Fu Guoqian.
“En…” I just wanted to see you. ”
Fu Guoqian had originally planned to find Xia Xingyu for a meal, and also forcefully bring her back to Quan Cheng. Now that things had developed to this point, Fu Guoqian did not know what to do.
If he took advantage of the opportunity to win the favor of Xia Xingyu, wouldn’t he have no need to waste so much effort?
