Chapter 569 Returning to the Past
"You guys...how..."
Looking at these familiar faces, Xiaofan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then a graceful figure pounced towards him.
He reached out and caught that soft body. The warmth of the moment left Xiaofan a bit at a loss.
"Bastard, bastard, bastard..."
The darling in his arms kept pounding on his sturdy back with her small fists, then hugged tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Mei'Er..."
"You bastard, you finally decided to come back."
"Mm, I'm back. Let me take a look at you."
Gently letting go, Chen Mei'Er's face was streaked with tears, her cheeks still as delicate as ever.
"Bastard."
"Mm, you've grown your hair long. You're even prettier than before."
"Hmph, when was I ever not pretty?" Chen Mei'Er retorted charmingly, but still showed no intention of letting go.
"Hey... is it my turn now?"
At this moment, Ren Ling walked over slowly, pulling at Chen Mei'Er's sleeve.
"Mm? Okay."
After releasing her, Ren Ling didn't care about anything and just jumped over.
"Oh my, girl, you've gained weight..." Xiaofan caught her tightly and said gently.
"My name is Ren Ling, don't call me 'girl'."
"But you still haven't grown taller, so I'll call you 'girl'."
"No..."
Ren Ling's seriousness always carried a clever cuteness.
Gently putting Ren Ling down, Xiaofan looked at the others.
Li San, Li Kuo, Ren Ying, and Wang Ziyang who was brought back from XG.
"How did you guys know I was back?" Xiaofan asked, though he already knew the answer. Well, if Fan Lingtian could know immediately, then Li Kuo could definitely know too.
It turns out, once Li Kuo knew Xiaofan returned to the Capital City, he immediately informed everyone, including Li San. Li San wasn't in Yanhuang Soul but was in the Capital City, so once he knew, Chen Mei'Er would definitely know too.
Once Ren Ying knew, Ren Ling would also know. So they gathered together to surprise Xiaofan.
"Where are Han and Xiaolei?" Xiaofan asked lightly.
"Xiaolei has a mission now; he's doing great as the captain of an A-level team," Li San immediately replied.
"Han is in the team; once he joined, he immediately became a company-level officer. However, it's quite far, and taking leave seems difficult."
"It's nothing, just returning to the Capital City, no need to come all the way back." Xiaofan smiled lightly.
"Since we're all here, are you still planning to eat your instant noodles?"
"Mm? Of course not, let's go, eat seafood, my treat." Xiaofan laughed heartily.
With that, the group happily walked out the door, each driving to the restaurant to enjoy a meal.
Meanwhile, in a team far away outside Tibet.
"Hey, boss, can I get some leave?"
"Not approved."
"Just a week."
"You idiot, you think this is a market? A week? Get lost."
"Five days."
"Don't bother me."
"I have three bottles of Maotai, one day per bottle, how about it?"
"Nonsense, there's a formal exercise in ten days, if you take leave, who's going to lead these little rascals? Go go go."
"Hey, just because you're the regiment, doesn't mean you're great. I've tried everything, just give me a few days off, why's it so hard to negotiate with you."
"Han Shengjun, you've got some nerve to talk to me like this."
"Hey, don't, calm down, it's just that a brother came back and I wanted to go see him, you know..."
"Stay here properly, if your team achieves results in this exercise, it's very likely you'll get promoted."
"Who cares about that crap..."
"Hmm? Say that again..."
"Cough cough, forget it, never seen someone so inflexible. I'll drink this wine myself."
On the other side, in France, at the Huaxia Embassy in France, Lei Xiaolei looked at the clock on the wall. He muttered, "It should be evening in Huaxia now, they're probably drinking? Oh man, why did this stupid mission have to come up, staying in this godforsaken place for a week, really unlucky."
Yeah, whenever he shows up, everyone wants to rush to his side, always feeling that no matter what they do, as long as he's leading, it will be done well, outstandingly. And their own bloodlust can be fully unleashed.
That charisma isn't something everyone has.
"Ziyang, how's it going? Are you used to it now?"
At the dinner, Xiaofan looked at the young man and asked lightly.
"Mm. Auntie takes good care of me. No one dares to bully me at school now. Many girls have added my QQ..."
"Tch, yeah, no one dares to bully him, but he's bullied others plenty." Chen Mei'Er pouted and said.
Coming to the Capital City, Wang Ziyang only knew Li San, and since Li San called Chen Mei'Er 'auntie', he naturally followed suit. Perhaps he never imagined he would have another chance to attend school, he cherishes it tremendously, though his personality from training at the base hasn't completely faded yet.
"Gradually change, get along well with everyone, and you'll make many good friends in the future."
"He has plenty of friends, my dad's subordinates all ask him to play games in the evening and take him out drinking. Now, he's the boss of a club."
"Mm, that's impressive..." Xiaofan was slightly taken aback, surprised that this kid had such a capability.
"Brother, thank you." Wang Ziyang raised his glass lightly to Xiaofan.
He knew that the man in front of him was the one who gave him a new life. If it wasn't for him giving him a pill and keeping him by his side, he might have been dead by now. Where would he have such a happy life? Wang Ziyang wasn't ungrateful, this kindness he would remember in his heart. Always remember.
"So, is everyone doing well?" After clinking glasses with Wang Ziyang, Xiaofan asked again.
"The Ren Family is managing the company well, I don't have to worry about it. I occasionally come back to school, but most of the time I'm at Yanhuang Soul."
"Mm, I'm often at home with those two little ones, unless there's something special, otherwise Elder Fan wouldn't call me." Li San continued.
"I'm about the same..." Ren Ying chimed in.
"I'm fine, just missing you." Ren Ling said softly.
Smiling at Ren Ling, Xiaofan looked over at Chen Mei'Er.
Meeting his gaze, Chen Mei'Er blushed slightly and said softly, "I'm eating and sleeping well, nothing's wrong."
"That's good, so how is Siyan? How's she doing now?"
