Huo Shiqian's words left Guo Jiacheng speechless.
After a moment, Guo Jiacheng finally said, "Uh, we, after all, are allies, comrades-in-arms, brothers…"
"You and your sister-in-law are here, of course, I should come and welcome you, clean off the road dust, right?"
Guo Jiacheng's expression and tone were very sincere.
Xia Chuyi couldn't help but snicker quietly, shaking her head and thinking: He's kidding, she had already been here several days, and he hadn't come to welcome her?
Huo Shiqian ignored Guo Jiacheng, bypassing him, and said to Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, let's go eat."
He then left with his people.
Seeing this, Guo Jiacheng was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly shouted, "Hey, Huo Shiqian, you really don't plan to have a little competition with me first..."
Before he could finish, Huo Shiqian coldly turned his head, his glare sharp as it shot towards Guo Jiacheng.
Guo Jiacheng's voice stopped abruptly, and he instantly fell silent.
"Let's go," Huo Shiqian then turned around again, calmly saying to Xia Chuyi.
After the two had left, Guo Jiacheng scratched his head, shaking his head while saying, "Xiao Zhen, did you feel the intense murderous aura emanating from Huo Shiqian just now?"
"It's so weird; I used to provoke him, and he never reacted ."
"He is, besides his outstanding military prowess, full of flaws."
"His character is so rigid it's killing me, day by day. Although he's younger than me, his speech and demeanor are like some ancient relic, steadier than my old man…"
At this point, Guo Jiacheng paused, his eyes rolling around, then he said, "You think, could Huo Shiqian's reaction be because of his wife?"
Guo Jiacheng stroked his chin, a gleam in his eyes, saying, "It seems, to aggravate him, it's still best to start with his wife!"
"He-he, as long as I provoke him, it won't be me chasing him for a fight; instead, he'll be chasing me to fight, ha ha ha ha ha…"
Xiao Zhen looked at his own commander, laughing proudly up at the sky, speechless.
Could he apply to retire now? Because with a suicidal commander , he was afraid he wouldn't live to see a normal discharge!
Meanwhile, Huo Shiqian took Xia Chuyi to a state-run restaurant.
They sat down, ordered two specialty dishes from G city, and Huo Shiqian said to Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, Guo Jiacheng is thoughtless and careless; don't take him too seriously."
Xia Chuyi covered her mouth to suppress a laugh, "Brother Shi Qian, are you sure it's okay to talk about your comrade-in-arms like that?"
Huo Shiqian calmly responded, "Just stating the facts."
She instantly smiled, eyes crinkling, and said, "Hmm, I won't take him seriously."
"After all, he only has eyes for you, not for me. Everything he does, he does for your sake."
Her words clearly carried a deeper meaning.
Huo Shiqian glanced at her, saying, "Don't worry, in this upcoming skills competition, I'll stand up for you,"
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi curiously asked, "How will you stand up for me? Guo Jiacheng would love for you to take him on!"
Xia Chuyi, shaking her head, added, "Honestly, Guo Jiacheng just wants to be 'beaten up.' If you really 'beat him up,' he might actually be thrilled!"
So, the hardest people to deal with in the world are the thick-skinned ones like Guo Jiacheng who stick to you like glue!
"I have my methods," Huo Shiqian said very calmly.
Seeing his certainty, Xia Chuyi grew even more curious, asking, "What methods do you have?"
