Standing in front of the big yard, Gu Xiyan watched as Wei Zhe's black Audi slowly disappeared from her line of sight, until it was gone without a trace. She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

  He... why did he come back?

  She turned around and walked into the house with Gu Xiyan.

  Mr. Gu's father had official business, and except for breakfast, the remaining two meals were eaten outside. At noon, Xiaoyu was eating at school, so only Gu Xiyuan and her mother-in-law Ji Shufen were left in the house.

  Two dishes and one soup, Gu Xiyan is cooking in the kitchen.

  "Xiao Yan, your skills are getting better and better." Ji Shufen praised.

  "Thank you for the compliment, Mom's cooking is even more delicious." Gu Xiyan smiled softly.

  The rice in the bowl was already more than half eaten, Ji Shufen picked up two mouthfuls of dishes into the bowl, looking at her daughter-in-law, she felt that this child was more and more likable.

  "Xiao Yan, you and Xiao Qi have been married for more than five years now, right?" Ji Shufen asked with a smile.

  Gu Xiyan didn't understand what her mother-in-law meant, hesitated and nodded, she replied: "Yes, mom, it's been more than five years."

  "Xiao Yan, after all these years, you and Xiao Qi are also very familiar with each other. When do you plan to give me and your dad a little grandchild to hold? Mom is waiting!" Ji Shufen didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said at all.

  Gu Xiyan's body stiffened upon hearing this, her face a picture of unadulterated astonishment.

  Ji Shufen saw Gu Xiyuan's reaction and thought she was just not prepared, so she said in a warm tone: "Look at you, child, surprised. We women can't escape childbirth. You and Xiao Qi are still young, but Xiao Qi has less time to spend at home now. When you return from the special police force, having a child will keep you company, won't it?"

  "Mom, you forgot that we have Yan'er. Having Yan'er is enough." After a while, Gu Xiyen lowered her eyelids and picked up the rice in her bowl.

  It's like chewing wax! I don't know if it's psychological or not, but Gu Xiyan felt that this meal was hard to swallow.

  "Silly child, Yan'er may be your child, but after all, she's not born to you. Have you and Xiao Qi ever thought of having a child of your own?" Ji Shufen was not very satisfied with Gu Xiyuan's answer.

  "Mom, I'll think about it carefully." Knowing that she wouldn't be able to get away with it if she didn't give an explanation today, Gu Xiyan said awkwardly.

  "That's right, another day you and Xiao Qi say, you are a talented couple, the child born must also be good-looking." Ji Shufen's eyes had several faint wrinkles, full of kindness.

  "Uh, mom, I'll clean up the table first. I have to go back to the troops later." Seeing that Ji Shufen had already eaten her fill, Gu Xiyuan stood up, feeling a sudden urge to escape.

  When she returned to C202, her roommates were taking a nap. Gu Xiyan tiptoed quietly, afraid of disturbing them.

  At two o'clock in the afternoon, all female soldiers of the new recruit regiment gathered together.

  "Take a short rest."

  "Attention."

  "Everything is here, all packed up."

  ……

  "You've had more than three days off, haven't you all let your guard down?" Deng Qing said seriously and forcefully.

  The female soldiers all unconsciously straightened their waists, and Deng Qing nodded in approval: "Not bad!"

  "Now, listen to my command, turn right." Deng Qing made another sound after checking around the female soldiers.

  The female soldiers turned around neatly, without a single drag.

  "Deng Qing leads the way in front, and the female soldiers' footsteps are neat and uniform."

  "One two one, one two one..." The female soldiers involuntarily shouted out loud, their exhaled hot air meeting the icy coldness in the air, forming a misty fog.

  After running for about twenty minutes, the female soldiers stopped in a spacious indoor training ground.

  At this time, the training ground had already formed a new lineup of male soldiers. After the male and female newcomers stood together, Deng Qing walked a few steps forward to the instructor of the male soldier company.

  The instructor of the male soldier company was none other than Zhou Yue, the company commander of both the male and female new recruit companies.

  "Zhou Yue, you say it." Deng Qing whispered a sentence in Zhou Yue's ear.

  Zhou Yue's mouth corners curled up with a hint of evil, and his eyes flashed with the brilliance of a demon: "Alright, everyone knows that I am your company commander Zhou Yue. My training creed is, as long as no one dies, I will push you to death. Today, I and the instructor Deng Qing from the female soldier company have prepared a little surprise for you, hoping you'll like it."

  Rubbing her chin, Zhou Yue continued: "This afternoon, a competition will be held between male and female soldiers, with five rounds and three wins. Since it's a competition, there must be rewards and punishments. I've discussed this with Deng Qing, the winning team will be rewarded with 100 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and two 5-kilometer armed runs."

  As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was shocked and amazed.

  "Discipline!" Deng Qing's cold rebuke instantly silenced the commotion in the room.

  "The losing side will be rewarded with 200 push-ups, 50 sit-ups, plus a 5-kilometer obstacle run and two 10-kilometer armed dashes." Zhou Yue laughed like a fox who had stolen a chicken.

  Ah!

  Is this a surprise?

  Many people are secretly complaining in their hearts - surprised? More like shocked!

  Gu Xi Yan's eyebrows and eyes slightly frowned, this is what Zhao Chun said was a surprise... joy...

  "No need to say more, let's start with two slogans. Soldiers, show your masculinity!" Zhou Yue shouted at the soldiers of the male battalion.

  "Brave men, charge forward! Across the vast expanse of heaven and earth, only I am supreme. Battle!" The male soldiers were cunning, and after a brief moment of consideration, they made their decision. Win? They must win! Although their opponents were female soldiers, hadn't their commander always taught them that in the army, there are only soldiers, no men or women?

  "Alright, female soldiers, dare you fight?" Deng Qing also began to rally her female soldiers.

  "Ready!" The female soldiers were seething with killing intent, clearly none of them wanted to lose.

  "What is our slogan?" Deng Qing said loudly.

  "Iron Maiden, green dress red face. Clanging rose, who but me? War!"

  After both sides sent three representatives to shake hands in a gesture of friendship, the whistle sounded and the competition officially began.

  The first item of the trial is marksmanship. Five people from each side participate, and each person shoots ten shots. The team with the highest total score wins.

  In this round, the female soldiers sent out are Li Jie, Lai Leting, Zhao Chun, Liu Hui and Feng Bixiao.

  "Watch us." Feng Bixiao flashed a brilliant smile at the female soldiers behind her.

  Li Jie nodded confidently, while the other three didn't make any movement.

  The female soldier took the stage first, with ten consecutive shots. After that, Zhou Yue reported the target: "Female Soldier No. 1, 94 rings."

  Number one is indeed Li Jie. Among the four people behind her, except for Lai Le Ting who reached 95 dan, the other three were all between 91 and 92 dan.

  When the male soldiers came on stage, the male soldiers behind them cheered and shouted for them. Among the five people sent by the male soldiers, three were handsome guys, and two looked ordinary.

  Jiang Hanxiao sat beside Gu Xiyuan, the two sisters holding hands, and she began to chatter restlessly: "Xiyuan, look, he's on stage."

  What a handsome guy! Cough, Gu Xiyan only observed for a moment, indeed, the first one to appear on stage was the most handsome among the five.

  The first male soldier to take the stage exploded in **, thanks to his smooth and agile movements, as well as his handsome face. His score was a perfect 100 rings.

  "Second Master is also up." Gu Xiyan was worried that the female soldiers would lose, but Jiang Hansheng didn't have this awareness at all.

  Looking around again, many girls' eyes had already turned pink. Jiang Huanxiao was still purely admiring, but these ones...

  The third shooter scored 98 rings. 100, 96, 98, and two more to go, the female soldiers are in a precarious situation!

  When the last one scored 98 rings, the female soldiers couldn't get excited anymore. This was a crushing victory!

  "In the first round, the male soldier won. The female soldier's marksmanship needs to be improved." Zhou Yue had an 'I knew it' expression on her face.

  She gave Deng Qing a wink and slipped away with a smile.

  "I made an agreement with Zhou Lianchang, all new recruits on the scene must participate in the competition, and each person can only participate in one game. In each game, the winning side can get a benefit, which is to make a request to the losing side. This requirement cannot be punitive, for example, if the male soldiers win this round, the five winners can ask the five female soldiers who lost to wash their clothes once, and so on. The request will be made after the game is over, and the personnel for the second round of competition will make preparations." Deng Qing said, then walked to the female soldier company to select the players for the second round.
