"Title Page Serial: Rain of Rain Chapter 2: Bad Premonition"

"Aren't you back yet? It's early morning again, and Yuzhiliu is waiting at the port pier, pacing back and forth anxiously, looking out to the distant horizon from time to time."

"Logically speaking, even if the journey is not smooth, my girlfriend and her family should have arrived at the G6 branch base long ago, right? But now, a week has passed, and there is still no news."

"Don't encounter any ocean storms on the way," he secretly prayed in his heart. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a warship docked in the northeast of the pier. Many sailors warmly welcomed him there, as if welcoming the return of a hero..."

————————————

Time, go back to two days ago.

As night fell, it was pitch black outside the window.

In the dimly lit living room, the black tea on the coffee table was already cold. The old couple Tulip and their children had gone back to their room to sleep and rest.

The three women still sat on each side.

Or they look away with an indifferent expression, or they lean on the sofa and stare at the ceiling in a daze, or they huddle in the corner holding their knees and remain silent.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Bellemeier was the one curled up in the corner of the sofa. She was holding a photo she had asked for from Tulip in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on the photo of Nosha and Peach Rabbit inside.

What a perfect match...

The two people in the photo, both with the rank of major general, are wearing white cloaks of justice, standing side by side with smiles on the deck of the warship. Behind them are countless naval soldiers standing solemnly. The two people are full of majesty and aura.

Bellemel suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.

Is this the flower of the high mountains of our headquarters? No matter in appearance or temperament, she is completely above me. Moreover, at a young age, she is already a rear admiral of the navy.

As for me, a low-level marine who barely became a lieutenant because of the devil fruit given by Noxia, there is no comparison.

No wonder that bastard idiot Nuo Xia went behind her back and came together with her...

Her eyes were all on the photo, and she didn't notice that Taotu, who was holding the tea cup and bowing his head silently, was also quietly looking at her at this moment.

"Childhood sweethearts..."

Peach Rabbit muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

Looking at this resolute girl with long maroon hair in a ponytail and a youthful vitality all over her body, for some reason, she felt a little envious from the bottom of her heart.

Not only was she envious of the girl who was about the same age as Nuo Xia, but she was also envious of the girl who was her childhood sweetheart. She and Nuo Xia had grown up together since childhood. They had been together for more than ten years and experienced countless ups and downs in life...

if you can.

She also really wanted to get to know Nuo Xia earlier, have this kind of precious memory together, and form this kind of friendship, family affection, and love with each other, and the bond will be broken no matter what...

And not like now.

Among the people present, he was actually the last one to get to know Nuo Xia.

After the anger during the day dissipated, in front of Bellemere and Shia, she felt inexplicably guilty that she was the third party who had intervened to destroy their relationship.

yes.

If you think about it carefully, they just ran into the hands of that guy Nuo Xia at different points in time and in different places.

Neither of them knew the existence of the other at all, and there was no way to talk about who was right and who was wrong, and who was the saboteur who intervened in the relationship midway.

They shouldn't be hostile to each other like this.

There is only one person who should be responsible for this.

"……Hello."

After taking a deep breath, Taotu put down the tea cup. When Bellemeier raised her head in confusion and looked at herself with Shia, she pursed her lower lip and spoke softly:

"I have a suggestion. I wonder if you two are willing to cooperate..."

————————

Doorstep of home.

Nuo Xia's expression froze in place.

He stared blankly at what was happening in front of him, watched Bellemeier open his mouth with a cry, drank a large spoonful of borscht handed over by Taotu, watched the two of them look at each other and smile, their eyes full of happiness and sweetness...

A full dozen seconds later.

He suddenly recovered from his shock and rushed into the restaurant regardless of Tulip's obstruction and exclamation.

At this time, Taotu and Bellemere seemed to have just noticed him, and both turned their heads with surprised expressions.

"Who are you?"

Bellemere seemed to see him for the first time. After frowning and looking around, he pushed away the table and stood up with an unfavorable expression:

"It's so disrespectful to break into someone else's restaurant without permission. Please get out!"

Nuo Xia was stunned for a moment.

"Hey, don't say that, Bellemere."

He watched Taotu stand up as well, took Bellemere into his arms, comforted her to sit down, and smiled at him:

"It's not like she's an outsider. This woman is the Major General Gion I mentioned to you before. She was my immediate boss when I was serving on the Western Sea side."

"But now, he can only be regarded as my subordinate."

Taotu shrugged and looked at Nuo Xia with a calm and indifferent look:

"So Bellmeier is right about one thing. It's really rude to break into someone else's house so recklessly and disturb your boss and his girlfriend while they are having dinner. Rear Admiral Gion, you have been a navy officer for so many years after all.

Now, you don’t even understand this rule, huh?”

The corners of Nuo Xia's eyes twitched.

After a while, under the cold gazes of the two people, he took a deep breath and finally spoke:

"...I was wrong, Brigadier General, Bellemare, and Xi..."

He looked around and saw no sign of Siya, so he simply took it back and said with a grimace:

"Anyway, it's my fault from beginning to end. I'm willing to bear all the consequences. I can understand whether you beat me or scold me...but there's no need to act like this, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Taotu frowned, looked at him displeased, and said coldly: "The weather hasn't warmed up yet, why are you so dizzy that you can't even recognize who you are?"

"No, I..."

"What are you?"

Taotu slapped the table and scolded angrily:

"The chatter is endless. Whether you have something serious to report or you are just bored and want to talk to me about old times. I don't want to hear it anymore! Get out of here!"

He is three meters tall and strong, and when he looks down, his cold eyes really have the domineering and unquestioning look of a superior.

From this perspective, seeing this expression on my own face, I always feel something is strange.

Nuo Xia's expression was stagnant, and before she could say anything, suddenly there was a burst of footsteps on the stairs.

Turning around, he saw Nuoqigao running down the stairs holding a little bunny toy. After taking a curious look at himself, he threw himself into Peach Rabbit's arms.

"Why are you down? Baby?"

Taotu, who had an angry face just now, immediately turned into a smiling face, lovingly lifted the little one into his arms, pinched her nose, "Aren't you playing with Ace upstairs?"

"He fell asleep early. I heard a lot of noise down there, so I came down to take a look."

Nuo Qigao giggled, kissed Taotu on the cheek, and then buried her in her arms. She looked up at Nuo Xia secretly, "What a beautiful sister, dad, who is she?"

Nuo Xia felt her teeth were a little sore.

"He is one of your father's subordinates. He just returned to the headquarters today."

Taotu nuzzled the little guy with her nose lovingly, and answered softly, but when she turned her head and looked at Nuo Xia, her expression became cold again:

"Why, didn't you hear what I just said? Do you want me to drive you out personally?"

"..."

Nuo Xia was about to say something else, but suddenly he noticed Tulip, who had also come to the restaurant wall at some point, shaking his head and winking at him.

never mind.

"Okay, then I'll go out first..."

He subconsciously wanted to reach out his hand and pinch Nokigao's face to say goodbye.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he retracted it, sighed, and after taking one last look at Bellemeier and "himself", he pushed the door open and walked out without interest.

When we got outside the yard, we looked inside the house through the window. We saw that the family continued to sit around the dining table and enjoy breakfast. Peach Rabbit fed the Nocturne in his arms from time to time. The atmosphere was joyful, harmonious, and lively.

"Have I become unnecessary..."

Nuo Xia smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Anyway, this is obviously Little Rabbit and Bellemere, and they are still very angry, so let them toss them around for a while.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, a white dove suddenly descended from the sky, stepped on his shoulder, and touched his neck affectionately with its head.
