Liao Mingyu didn't know why he followed the girl in front of him back home.

Don’t you look a bit like an animal like this?

Maybe he couldn't bear to reject this girl who was full of expectations, or maybe he was really tired and wanted to find a quiet place to rest.

Yes, that's it, Liao Mingyu comforted himself repeatedly in his heart.

"What are you doing? Come in and let it go."

Looking at Liao Mingyu who was stunned at the door, Xiaozui greeted him doubtfully.

"Oh, right away."

Liao Mingyu touched his nose, smiled awkwardly, and then walked into the small courtyard.

"The house is a mess and I haven't done much to clean it up. You sit down first and drink a glass of water while I go and clean it up!"

“No trouble”

Xiaozui quickly moved a chair and asked him to sit down. She hurriedly went to tidy up the somewhat rundown courtyard. She didn't want to leave a bad impression on Liao Mingyu.

Liao Mingyu couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Xiao Zui, who was busy and clumsy in the yard. This little girl's ideas are so simple and cute.

The furnishings of this small courtyard are very simple. The weeds and wild flowers have not been cleared away, and the debris is piled aside to collect dust. There is no other place for people in this courtyard except Xiao Zui's clean and tidy bedroom.

She is also a person who has very few needs in life. A simple environment can meet all her needs, so she doesn't care about other things.

"Come here, I'm sorry to make you laugh. I'll give you some water. You can wipe yourself first."

"Oh, by the way, are you hungry? I'll cook you something to eat."

Xiaozui, who had been busy for a while, struggled to carry a large wooden bucket filled with water, brushed his bangs, and handed a clean towel to Liao Mingyu.

Liao Mingyu quickly stepped forward to help. Looking at Xiao Zui who was tired and sweating profusely, he said with some embarrassment:

"Thank you, um...it's better if you don't tell me, my stomach is growling."

"Okay, just wait!"

Xiaozui lifted her bangs in front of her eyes, smiled sweetly at Liao Mingyu, and hurried out again.

This girl is so hot-tempered.

Shaking his head, Liao Mingyu unbuttoned his shirt and took off his military uniform, which was stained with mud, dirt, and the enemy's blood.

His body was sticky and smelly, so he turned around and looked at the mirror on Xiao Zui's table. Alas, after so many days of living in the smoke of gunfire, he looked unkempt and unkempt, like a savage who drank blood from his hair, which made him speechless.

Without thinking too much, Liao Mingyu quickly picked up the towel and carefully wiped the blood on his body and face.

After a while... Xiaozui walked in with a bowl of steaming noodles. Looking at Liao Mingyu with his upper body exposed, she was unprepared for a moment and was so surprised that her mouth turned into an O shape.

"You...oh, why do you have so many scars on your body?"

Seeing that Liao Mingyu's upper body was covered with large and small scars, Xiao Zui was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.

Turning his head to look at the surprised Xiaozui, Liao Mingyu smiled nonchalantly: "Oh? Those were all done when he was a soldier. They are all healed. It's okay."

Unexpectedly, he had suffered so many injuries. Those scars scratched by sharp objects, and the bullet marks left as if hit by bullets, deeply hurt Xiaozui's heart.

"These...must be very painful."

"It doesn't hurt anymore. I'm a thick-skinned person. To put it simply, I just resist beatings. Haha, they are just minor injuries, nothing to worry about."

Putting down the bowl, he walked up to Liao Mingyu and looked at the criss-cross scars on his body and the arm that had been grazed by bullets and wrapped in gauze. Xiaozui felt extremely uncomfortable, and tears welled up in his eyes.

It must have been very painful at that time. After so many injuries, he could still joke around here. It's true. He is stronger than his brother.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm so embarrassed. Hey, don't cry! Don't think about it. I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, just touch me."

When Liao Mingyu saw tears in Xiaozui's eyes, he immediately panicked. He had never been afraid of anything in his life, except for seeing a woman cry.

"Let me wipe it for you."

After saying that, Xiaozui took his towel, washed it thoroughly in the water, and wiped him up seriously.

Touching his nose, Liao Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. His tense body allowed Xiaozui's delicate hands to wipe his body.

His head was a little dizzy. He had just drank seven or eight ounces of white wine, and now he was also drunk. Coupled with the pair of soft, boneless hands caressing his chest, Liao Mingyu actually felt a little strange...

Damn, this is so disappointing.

Apart from gritting his teeth and silently reciting in his mind that form is emptiness and emptiness is form, this guy didn't dare to make any move.

At this moment, the whole small room couldn't help but feel a little more charming...

"Okay!"

After a while, looking at Liao Mingyu who suddenly became clean and refreshed, Xiaozui breathed a sigh of relief, with some beads of sweat still on his red face.

Liao Mingyu quickly picked up his clothes and wanted to put them on. It was better not to say anything at this time.

"Hey, wait a minute. Your clothes are all dirty. Let me wash them for you. My brother still has some clothes here. I'll find them for you right away."

Xiaozui stopped Liao Mingyu and quickly got up and dug out some of his brother's clothes in the closet.

"My brother wore it. Don't dislike it. Try this shirt on to see if it fits."

Seeing Liao Mingyu put on his clothes, although the shoulders were a little small, the overall appearance was not bad. Xiao Zui suddenly showed a satisfied smile.

“Come and eat!”

Xiaozui pushed Liao Mingyu on the stool and sat opposite him, holding her cheeks and looking at him expectantly.

The scene at this moment is like the feeling of a little daughter-in-law looking forward to the return of her husband who has been absent for many days, and happily busying herself with laundry and cooking for him.

This warm scene made Liao Mingyu's tense nerves slowly relax. How could he be as relaxed and comfortable as he was now when he was sleeping in the open air during this period of time.

"Okay, let's try your craft."

After saying this, Tie Hanhan started to immerse himself in eating. Not to mention, although this girl is sometimes clumsy, her cooking skills are really good.

Having said that, is this a natural skill of Sichuan people? It feels like every Sichuan person is good at cooking.

"Is it delicious?"

"Good... pool... nice pool." Liao Mingyu said vaguely with noodles still in his mouth.

"Really, then you can come over whenever you are free, and I will cook for you."

"Uh-huh."

Xiaozui smiled happily, there is nothing happier than getting the approval of the person you love.

The bowl of noodles was quickly wiped out by Liao Mingyu. Xiaozui quickly got up and cleared the table, while Liao Mingyu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her quietly.

His face felt slightly hot due to that scorching look, and Xiao Zui was embarrassed to take the initiative to find a topic.

"Well... how about you go over there to fight? I see many soldiers are injured."

"Well... the little devil is not easy to deal with, and the brothers are also risking their lives."

"Then have you seen my brother?"

"Well... I haven't seen him. Maybe he is in another army..."

"Okay, can you tell me what happened along the way?"

Xiaozui became interested, and she simply sat next to Liao Mingyu, looking at him curiously with clear and bright eyes.

"My brother is not here, and there is usually no one to talk to me. Why don't you tell me."

"This is a long story..."

The two of them started chatting on the bedside, asking and answering questions.

After drinking and eating, Liao Mingyu felt a little sleepy, but he couldn't bear to reject the expectant look in his eyes. In the end, he didn't know what he said while half asleep. He slowly leaned on the bed and fell asleep.

…

Xiao Zui quickly put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt.

Looking at Liao Mingyu who was sleeping soundly, he lost his usual seriousness, and his stretched brows made him look more approachable. His straight nose, angular features, and the heroic spirit he had shown in the past made the girl unable to help but be fascinated.

What girl doesn’t have a child? What’s more, such an outstanding and young Liao Mingyu.

He is so good-looking, but why is he still smiling when he falls asleep?

The corners of his naturally raised mouth seemed to be smiling. Xiaozui was immediately curious.

After watching for a while, Xiao Zui, whose cheeks were burning, came back to his senses and sighed slightly in his heart.

Alas, he is still a regiment leader and a great hero, how can he look down on a humble little girl like me?

…

At the same time, a city thousands of miles away...

Bayu, this legendary city built on the mountains, is filled with continuous drizzle.

No. 101 De'anli, the head of state's office. A slender bald man was sitting at the table, frowning as he read the confidential messages.

A black figure stood silently behind him with his hands lowered.

"Mother Xipi, what kind of war is that in Henan? Is Jiang Dingwen a waste? Even hundreds of thousands of people in the first theater can't stop the Japanese attack?!"
