Xiao Chen walked into Lu Xin's office and asked directly, "What mission is it?"
Seeing this, Lu Xin shook his head and chuckled. Then, he took out a document from a drawer and placed it in front of him.
"This is the mission that the higher-ups have just assigned. They want you to bring up to three people at most. There are only seven days left."
Xiao Chen looked at the contents of the mission with an emotionless expression. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "Call for Monkey and Stone. There's no need for anything else."
Worry flashed through Lu Xin's eyes as he pondered silently for a moment.
"Bring one more. After all, this mission's difficulty level is very high. I'm afraid that just the three of you …"
Before he could finish, Xiao Chen raised his hand and interrupted him.
Lu Xin's temper and character didn't speak any further and instead lightly patted his shoulder.
"Go back and make some preparations. I'll go notify Monkey and Stone. You should also inform your wife that you don't want her to worry."
"En!" Xiao Chen said coldly as he turned around to leave.
Looking at his back, Lu Xin chuckled and shook his head helplessly.
Xiao Chen walked to the shooting-range just in time for Xu Yu Chu to finish their morning training. He shouted coldly, "Xu Yu Chu."
Hearing that, Xu Yu Chu looked at him and greeted Liu Xin Bing and the rest before walking towards Xiao Chen.
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Chen did not reply immediately. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her out of the range.
Xu Yu looked at his tall back and a trace of doubt flashed across her eyes. She did not ask any further questions and obediently followed behind him.
After arriving at the office, Xiao Chen released her hand and spoke coldly.
"I'm currently on a mission. If you need anything, just go to Lu Xin, and …" Keep your distance from men. You're my, Xiao Chen's, woman, don't you know that? "
Xu Yu Chu felt his forehead go black. He looked at Xiao Chen speechlessly and retorted, "They are just my teammates. Don't think too much about them!" And … What kind of mission do you want? "
Xiao Chen looked at her with eyes as cold as ice for a few seconds before he spat out a few words, "Secret."
"…"
Xu Yu Chu looked at his interviewing face and really wanted to tug at his face. Why was he always so tense?
She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. In the entire army, the person she was most familiar with was Xiao Chen. Now that he was going to be assigned a mission, he suddenly felt insecure and asked this question.
"Xiao Chen, can I come with you for the mission?" Maybe I can help you? Furthermore, after these few days of training, I feel that my physical strength should not be a problem anymore. "
A trace of disdain flashed in Xiao Chen's cold eyes, but it was caught by Xu Yu.
Her expression immediately darkened as she glared furiously at Xiao Chen.
How dare he despise her! How dare he despise her!
Seeing that her cheeks were slightly raised, making her look like a squirrel with fried fur, Xiao Chen couldn't help but gently pinch her cheeks.
Xu Yu Chu slapped his hand away, and snappily snorted: "Don't touch me!"
A trace of a smile appeared in Xiao Chen's dark eyes as he said coldly, "You are not from the military. You do not have the qualifications to go on a mission with me. You should train properly here. Wait for me when I return. I do not want to hear that you have failed the exam."
Fail? How is this possible?
Xu Yu Chu retorted in his heart, but didn't say it out loud. He coldly turned his head away and refused to communicate with him.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and ruffled her hair. Only after he did so did he stop with satisfaction.
Seeing Xu Yu Chu's injured face, Xiao Chen looked a little worried. He softened his tone and said, "Remember to apply the medicine properly. Don't get into conflict with Wang Honglin. Wait for me to come back and avenge you."
Xiao Chen was famous throughout the military for being protective of his men. As long as he was his man, no one could bully him.
Xu Yu Chu glanced at him and mumbled, "I don't want you to avenge me, I can do it myself. General Xiao, do your job properly. I do not wish to hear the news of General Xiao's failure. "
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's cold face turned soft, but his expression remained cold and proud.
"Don't worry, you won't hear it!" "You're not allowed to associate with other men."
A collusion? These four words made Xu Yuchu extremely unhappy. Silently, she rolled her eyes and retorted, "How could I be in cahoots with you? Don't wrongly accuse me!"
Xiao Chen's cold gaze swept across her and he did not say anything more. Xu Yu Chu saw clearly what was in his eyes.
A black line appeared on her forehead. She glared at him angrily and didn't bother to argue with him anymore.
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow!"
Xu Yu Chu was very curious about Xiao Chen's mission. When he thought about the 'secret' that Xiao Chen had mentioned just now, he couldn't help but suppress his curiosity and change the topic.
"Who will you take with you?"
Xiao Chen looked at her starry eyes and asked, "Are you very curious?"
Xu Yuchu did not deny it and admitted it straightforwardly: "That's right, are you going to say it?"
Xiao Chen looked at her pink face and his brows were brimming with energy. He no longer felt that sorrowful feeling when he first saw her.
His heart softened as he replied in a rare good-natured manner, "Monkey and Stone."
Hearing that, Xu Yu Chu's eyes flashed. She smiled sweetly at him and invited him: "General Xiao, are you willing to come with me to the cafeteria for lunch?"
Xiao Chen nodded his head arrogantly, looking as though he was saying something.
I'll grant you that promise!
As the two walked side by side towards the canteen, the gazes of quite a few people on the street were focused on them.
When they had just reached the entrance of the canteen, Xu Yu Chu saw a beautiful figure. She subconsciously glanced at Xiao Chen, her expression unclear.
Mei Xin Rui saw them from afar and purposely stayed outside the door. When they got closer, she greeted them with a smile.
"Xiao Chen, what a coincidence."
A coincidence?
Xu Yu Chu disapprovingly curled her lips, she felt that it was not coincidental at all.
Mei Xin Rui looked at Xu Yu Chu without leaving a trace. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but she chose to ignore her and spoke to Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Chen, do you want to eat together?" I think the food in the cafeteria today is quite good. "
Xiao Chen did not refuse, nor did he nod his head. Xu Yu Chu, who was a bystander, looked at them coldly.
Suddenly, a smiling person suddenly interjected into their midst, teasing them while laughing.
"Sister-in-law, it's really rare to see you eating with the general. Are you reluctant to part with him because the general is about to take on a mission?"
"…"
Xu Yu Chu's forehead turned black as he looked at the monkey speechlessly.
Previously, she didn't want to eat with Xiao Chen because she wanted to avoid suspicion.
