Xia Chuyi exited the school gates and immediately spotted her Uncle Liberation Army, standing out among the crowd with a distinguished air.
"Brother Shiqian!" she ran towards him.
Seeing the young girl rushing over, a faint smile appeared on Huo Shiqian’s lips.
"Run slower, be careful not to fall," he advised as she approached.
Xia Chuyi, who had been running quite steadily, almost stumbled upon hearing his words.
"Brother Shiqian, I’ll take you to ’Youwei’ I opened in Capital City," Xia Chuyi said, composing herself. "You’ve invested in it."
"Let’s go, boss!" Xia Chuyi cheerfully called him.
When Huo Shiqian heard about the "investment", his brows furrowed slightly but relaxed when she mentioned "boss".
Huo Shiqian replied calmly, "I’ll listen to the madame."
Bring back my serious Uncle Liberation Army.
As they were about to leave, a shockingly surprised gaze shot towards them from a distance.
Huo Shiqian, as a soldier, was particularly sensitive to suspicious gazes, following the look to see—a male student with a swollen blue nose and serious injuries.
Xia Chuyi followed his gaze and raised an eyebrow, "Zong Yingjie?"
"Song Yingjie?" Huo Shiqian repeated the name.
"Don’t mind him, he’s a lunatic," said Xia Chuyi.
Huo Shiqian nodded and asked, "The lunatic who’s been pestering you?"
Xia Chuyi shrugged, "That’s him."
Huo Shiqian looked at Song Yingjie, who resembled a pig’s head.
He can still go out? It seems his injury is minor.
"Let’s go, don’t mind him!" Xia Chuyi pulled Huo Shiqian away.
Near Youwei, Xia Pan and Xia Ming, the two little ones, happened to be playing.
Xia Pan ran over excitedly, calling out, "Sister, sister!"
"Sister, sister!" Xia Ming was also responding much better nowadays, joining in the calling.
"Good kids." Xia Chuyi patted the children’s heads, then turned to face Huo Shiqian, saying, "Brother Shiqian, these are the two children I’ve adopted, Xia Pan and Xia Ming. I’ve written to you about them..."
Xia Chuyi tilted her head, thought for a moment, and added, "But, since you’ve come to Capital City, I’m not sure if you received the letter."
Huo Shiqian nodded slightly: indeed, he hadn’t received the letter.
However, Ou Jun had already told him about it over the phone.
After introducing the children to Huo Shiqian, Xia Chuyi pointed at him and told the kids, "Panpan, Xiao Ming, greet him."
Xia Pan looked at Xia Chuyi, then at Huo Shiqian, and crisply said, "Hello, Uncle."
Xia Ming parroted, "Hello, Uncle."
Commander Huo’s expression suddenly became a bit stiff.
Xia Chuyi, in turn, choked and coughed several times.
"Um, Brother Shiqian, let’s go to the store!" she said.
Upon arriving at the shop, several people there immediately noticed Huo Shiqian.
Wang Yu and Huang Xiaoyun, as special individuals, were unsurprised by Huo Shiqian.
But Qian Qianqian had only heard of "Huo Commander" by name and hadn’t seen him in person.
"Chuyi, is that Huo Commander?" Qian Qianqian asked in surprise upon seeing Huo Tuan, "He’s not as old as you all said!"
Huo Shiqian’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Xia Chuyi.
On her honor, she had said no such thing!!
"Uh, Qianqian, when did I ever say Brother Shiqian was old?" Xia Chuyi said seriously to Qian Qianqian.
