Chapter 50: This Person You Can't Afford to Mess With

  Zhao Ming hastily explained: "This is all a misunderstanding, if you were to take action, they would probably not have a good outcome. Also, please don't treat my cousin with the same courtesy as me, I will properly educate him."

  "Alright, I know. Anything else? I'm busy." Xie Xiaoshuai replied with the same attitude as when he trained Zhao Ming before.

  "It's okay, you're busy, if there's anything just give me a call." Zhao Ming hastily handed over his business card.

  Xie Xiaoshuai didn't even look at the business card and put it in his pocket, calling out to Lu Xue as he prepared to leave together. As Lu Xue walked up to Xie Xiaoshuai, Xie Xiaoshuai and Zhao Ming said one more thing before leaving: "Tell your cousin that if he continues to pester Lu Xue, I won't mind giving him a deeper lesson."

  Looking at Xie Xiaoshuai and Lu Xue's disappearing figures, Zhao Ming wiped the sweat from his head with one hand, turned around and scolded Zhao Feng: "You donkey! Was your brain pinched by a door or kicked by a donkey? Who else can't you provoke, why did you have to provoke him. Just now, if you dared to make a move, in less than a minute, I'm afraid none of you would be able to stand up, and you'd all have to go to the hospital for several months' rest. And let me tell you, Zhao Feng, from now on, don't ever bother Lu Xue again, she's his woman, you're not qualified to pursue her."

  Zhaofeng was arrogant, but not stupid. Just now he saw his usually proud older cousin humbled in front of a young man around twenty years old, which overturned his understanding of his older cousin and also made him realize that he might have offended someone important.

  "Brother, who is he after all? Why are you so respectful to him? Is he the son of some big leader or what?" Zhao Feng asked out of curiosity.

  "Don't ask what you shouldn't, just remember this: you can't mess with this person. If you provoke him, don't say I won't be able to protect you, even your uncle won't be able to protect you." Zhao Ming saw his useless younger cousin and got annoyed, coldly throwing out these words before leaving with his men.

  Zhao Feng stood foolishly in place, he felt that his cousin's words were somewhat exaggerated, but considering his cousin's character, he still didn't dare to have any other thoughts, just in case his cousin's words were true, it wasn't worth causing trouble for a woman.

  Xie Xiaoshuai and Lu Xue walked shoulder to shoulder in silence. Lu Xue took the initiative to stretch out her hand and hold onto Xie Xiaoshuai's arm. Xie Xiaoshuai was savoring this moment, hoping that the road ahead would be a bit longer. But the result was not as expected, after walking for only a few hundred meters, they arrived at their destination.

  The two of them happily finished lunch and walked out the door. Xie Xiao Shuai felt that it wasn't good to always let the girl take the initiative, so he plucked up his courage and stretched out his hand to wrap around Lu Xue's slender waist. Lu Xue's hand grasped Xie Xiao Shuai's large hand that was wrapped around her waist, secretly delighted by his initiative, thinking that this silly guy had finally come around.

  Feeling the roughness of Xie Xiaoshuai's palm, Lu Xue took up his other hand and examined it carefully, looking at the calluses covering his hands, her heart aching with a pang.

  "Hey handsome, your training must be very tough, right? Look at your hands and face, how much training does it take to get like this? I really don't know how you endured it. At your age, you should be in school, enjoying the life of a young person."

  "It's nothing, I'm used to it. I've grown up in the army since I was a child, the army is everything to me, my father trained me to be his successor, I couldn't let him down." Xie Xiaoshuai sighed.

  "It's alright, from now on your sister will take care of you and dote on you. Come, tell me, how have you been spending these years?"

  "What's with the 'sister' thing? You think I don't know that you're only three months older than me?" Xie Xiaoshuai said, not letting it go.

  "Big sister for a day is also sister. Come on, tell big sister about it, I'm really interested in your past experiences."

  Then, Xie Xiaoshuai carefully told Lu Xue about his life from childhood to adulthood. He talked about how he had been strictly trained since he was a child, secretly studied his father's notes and experiences, and read military publications during class, all of which were his own aspirations. Xie Xiaoshuai poured out all the secrets in his heart, feeling incredibly relieved that someone finally shared the burden he had borne alone, and he felt no longer lonely from then on.

  "I didn't expect you to have gone through so much, and life is so dull and tasteless. Thinking of my past, I really feel that I am very fortunate." After listening to Xiao Shuai's outpouring, Lu Xue touched Xiao Shuai's face with sympathy.

  "It's a habit, at least I still have goals to move forward. With your support in the future, I'll be more motivated to do things." Xie Xiao Shuai's heart was unlocked, and he became lively again, his mouth also became smoother.

  "Who is supporting you? You and I have no relationship." Lu Xue struggled free from Xie Xiao Shuai, laughing as she ran off.

  "You're my girlfriend, you don't support me, who will?" Xie Xiaoshuai finally said what he had been wanting to say in his heart.

  Upon hearing Xie Xiao Shuai's confession, Lu Xue was delighted in her heart but refused to acknowledge it on the surface: "Who is your girlfriend? There are so many girls outside, you can go find whoever you want."

  Xie Xiaoshuai seemed like a ferocious beast that had been provoked, and he quickly rushed over to hug Lu Xue: "I've finally found you, you ran away from me, I'm not letting you go."

  The two of them laughed and joked for a while, then hand in hand walked towards Lu Xue's workplace. Xie Xiao Shuai gazed longingly at Lu Xue until her figure disappeared from view, only then did he withdraw his gaze, his hands thrust into his pockets as he wandered home. At this moment, since becoming the captain of the Sha Huo squad, Xie Xiao Shuai revealed his true nature for the first time.

  Back at the unit, Lu Xue took a few days off and planned to have fun with Xie Xiao Shuai. Xie Xiao Shuai had never had a private life before, only following Lu Xue around. That day, Lu Xue took him to an amusement park, shopping, eating, and watching movies.

  This made Xie Xiaoshuai feel that life could be so wonderful. Xie Xiaoshuai thought that his twenty years of life had not been as happy as today.

  After dinner, Lu Xue was very tired and told Xie Xiao Shuai that she would take him to meet someone the next day. She also refused Xie Xiao Shuai's offer to send her home and took a taxi by herself. Xie Xiao Shuai couldn't persuade Lu Xue, so he sent her off in the car and returned home himself. Actually, although Xie Xiao Shuai was still a bit tired physically, his heart was still very excited - he just wanted to spend more time with Lu Xue.

  After going home, Sun Houqun, who was watching TV, saw Xie Xiaoshuai with a bright red face and joked: "What's wrong today? What made you so happy?"

  Xie Xiaoshuai walked in front of the sofa, picked up an apple and took a bite, mumbling: "Hehe ~! Mom, this is a secret."

  "You little stinker, what secrets can you still keep from your old mom?" Sun Houqun knocked on Xie Xiaoshuai's head.

  "You'll know later, I'm tired, going to sleep. By the way, where's Uncle Xie?" Xie Xiao Shuai stood up and prepared to go back to his room.

  "In the study." Seeing his son was about to go to sleep, Sun Houqun didn't say much.

  Xie Xiaoshuai lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, his mind filled with the joyful scenes of the day with Lu Xue. At the same time, he wondered who the person was that Lu Xue said she would take him to meet.

  "Was it going to see her parents? Wouldn't that be too fast?" Xie Xiaoshuai thought of this, and his heart became a little nervous again.

  "Never mind, let's talk about it when we meet." Xie Xiaoshuai was a born optimist. Anyway, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking and fell asleep in a daze.
