Chapter 18 Called Sister-in-law
When Ye Xingchen returned to the dormitory, she was greeted by a dark room. The school arranged a room for two people for graduate students, and her roommate was not around. She was very quiet by herself, but also very lonely.

After turning on the light and putting down the heavy medicine box, she immediately stepped into the bathroom to take a shower, washing away the dust and fatigue from the journey.

After taking a bath, she sat on the bedside while wiping her hair, watched her cub sitting obediently by the pillow, picked it up and hugged it gently.

It is undeniable that the little bear that Lou Xi wanted to give her was newer and more beautiful, but they were not familiar with each other, so she couldn't just ask for other people's things. More importantly, no matter how beautiful and cute the little bear was, it would never be able to replace the one in her arms. Because it has the smell of parents.

When I was young, happiness was a simple thing. When I grow up, simplicity is a happy thing. The most eternal happiness in the world is ordinary. Life is like water. Ye Xingchen’s life is simple and peaceful. In April, Qingming is approaching.

Waking up early in the morning, the sky was a bit cloudy, so Ye Xingchen went to a flower shop to buy a bunch of white chrysanthemums, and put them in front of the military hospital's monument.

Although her parents are not buried here, she believes that wherever there are military spirits, they will be there.

The number of people in front of the monument gradually increased, and the plain figure was quickly submerged in the crowd. Ye Xingchen left silently and walked towards the hospital building.

The corridor was extremely quiet. It was obvious that it was not working time yet, and there were only colleagues who were on the night shift last night in the department. After saying hello, Ye Xingchen entered his office.

She simply tidied up the desk, accidentally knocked down the calendar while wiping the dust, and when she picked it up, she casually glanced at it, and she frowned slightly.

Tomorrow is the weekend again.

Touching the wallet in the bag, it was bulging. She had already prepared the money, so she didn't know if Lou Xi would come.

Just as she was thinking, the door of the office was knocked open suddenly, and Li Yi looked at her with a smile, "Morning, Doctor Ye!"

Ye Xingchen was a little surprised, but he was still very happy to see Li Yi looking healthy, "Good morning, Squad Leader Li, why did you come to the hospital?"

Li Yi immediately took out an invitation letter, "Doctor Ye, the Ching Ming Festival is off for three days, and there is a commemorative party in the army. I specially invited you!"

"invite me?"

"Yes, you saved my life last time. Not only me, but also those in our team all worship you as a goddess. Doctor Ye, you must come!"

Ye Xingchen shyly shook his head, "It's not that exaggerated, that's what I should do, besides, it's not convenient for me to go to the important military camp, thank you for your kindness."

"It's okay, my invitation letter was approved by the battalion commander, so don't worry, Doctor Ye!" Li Yi assured, patting his chest.

Ye Xingchen was slightly taken aback, "Your battalion commander...agreed?"

"Yes, look, there is his signature on it!" Li Yi was afraid that she would not believe it, so he quickly opened the invitation letter.

Lou Xi's vigorous handwriting pierced through the back of the paper, Ye Xingchen stared slightly, if he accepted the invitation, would he have a chance to pay back the money?

After thinking for a while, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, thank you Squad Leader Li, I will be there on time."

Li Yi was overjoyed at the completion of his work, "Doctor Ye, you are welcome, do you leave work at five o'clock, and I will pick you up then, otherwise you will not be able to find our residence."

Ye Xingchen didn't refuse anymore, and after saying thank you, Li Yi left happily, but her heart couldn't be calm for a long time.

How long has she been to the barracks?

After twilight, the breath of night gradually approached, and the land was shrouded in a vastness. A military jeep was moving fast on an unknown mountain road.

The car window was half open, and the wind was blowing in. Ye Xingchen vaguely smelled the faint smell of gunpowder flowing in the air, which was the unique smell of the military camp.

The military camp is not very unfamiliar to her. When she was a child, she went in and out with her parents several times. To this day, she still clearly remembers the first time she came to the military camp.

There is a large area there, and the gray-and-white buildings are surrounded by training grounds with different functions. The soldiers in training uniforms all look the same, so that the young her is completely confused. It is not clear who is who.

Then Mom and Dad told her they both had the same name!soldier.

Then, she deeply remembered that piece of olive green.

"Doctor Ye, we're here!" Li Yi's voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts. Ye Xingchen came back to his senses, and saw the closed door of the special brigade slowly open in front of them.

As far as the eye can see, most of the venues are similar to what she remembered, but the rigidity here is heavier, and the training intensity here is also greater. Even on this night when there are activities, those fighters still have no rest. They were wearing camouflage, military boots, and weight gear, running around what seemed to be an endless field.

And Lou Xi stood in the center, tall and straight like a pine, with a panoramic view of the entire training ground, holding a stopwatch in his hand, with a stern expression.

The car approached slowly and disturbed them. A few soldiers in the lap team couldn't bear curiosity, turned their heads and took a peek, but didn't want to be caught by Lou Xi, he snapped, "Be careful! Otherwise Practice an extra [-] kilometers tonight!"

The soldiers who sneaked out immediately corrected themselves, straightened their necks and rushed forward. Li Yi laughed out loud, but Ye Xingchen was still terrified. Seeing Lou Xi's harsh words, his eyes fluttered and he didn't know where to look.

They waited in the car for a while, and after the soldiers ran around for several laps, they finally heard Lou Xi's order, "Stop!"

After a little rectification, he gave another order, "Disband!"

The serious atmosphere finally came to an end, and was replaced by a chaotic heat. As soon as Ye Xingchen got out of the car, he was surrounded by soldiers. Some of them had seen him in the hospital before, and they said "Doctor Ye" one by one. Terrible, but more of them are strangers, they are full of curiosity about Ye Xingchen, and they are inquiring about Ye Xingchen.

"This is Dr. Ye, he is so young!"

"It's still beautiful!"

Ye Xingchen was a little uncomfortable being praised, and couldn't think of how to respond to the enthusiasm of these soldiers, and he was blushing in a short while.

Suddenly, the people around him dispersed one by one, Ye Xingchen looked in the direction and saw Lou Xi walking steadily.

There is a type of person who is born with the aura of a leader, and he is undoubtedly a typical representative of this type of person.

Ye Xingchen originally wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but now his breathing became tighter.

Lou Xi approached step by step, seeing the little woman who was chatting and laughing with a group of soldiers just now looked tense when she saw him, and couldn't help being a little playful.

He stood in front of her and asked lightly, "Are you in a hurry?"

"No." Ye Xingchen quickly denied, but his face was hot uncontrollably.

The soldiers who slipped away just now were a little confused about the situation. They went out on a mission a while ago and just came back today, so they knew nothing about Ye Xingchen. They observed the situation before them and began to do the most reasonable thing speculate.

Party, battalion commander, beauties, blushes...

The few looked at each other, then grinned, "Battle Commander, this is my sister-in-law, right?"

sister in law?

Ye Xingchen's eyes widened.

Although she knows that there are unwritten rules in the army, married and unmarried are all called sister-in-law, but she and Lou Xi...

"No, no..." Ye Xingchen hurriedly wanted to clarify, but Lou Xi raised an eyebrow at the soldiers, "Ten kilometers off-road!"

A few soldiers laughed fearlessly, "Battalion Commander, are you angry from embarrassment?"

Lou Xi's handsome appearance remained unchanged, neither denying nor admitting, he just raised his hand and looked at his watch, "The timer starts, run!"

The faces of the soldiers changed, and they turned around and ran away, but they were singing and running, "I call you Brother Bing, you call me Sister Bing, Brother Bing and Sister Bing are all soldiers, singing songs all over the sky, hehe! Hehe! "

Everyone roared with laughter, but Ye Xingchen was annoyed, she didn't understand, why didn't Lou Xi explain?
