Laughing, fussing, kissing, the wedding ceremony ended successfully in joy, but someone was going to be unlucky!
Captain Wu Lie gets upset when he thinks of Lou Xi’s 62-ring score. It’s so embarrassing! It’s so embarrassing!
The C Military Region Special Forces Brigade has never had such poor results since it was formed. Not to mention 62, even 92 is not enough. Without the level of 98 or 99, it cannot even get through the door of the Special Forces Brigade!
He has been working here all his life, and he has received commendations from the military region headquarters every year. Although it is all spiritual, and at most it is just a big red flower, it is still an honor! This is great, and he is about to retire.
Late, festival, no, guarantee!
"Lou Xi, come here!" The captain's face was gloomy.
Lou Xi, however, had a calm attitude. He walked up to Wu Lie unhurriedly and solemnly saluted with a military salute, "Please give instructions, chief!"
Wu Lie stared at him with resentful eyes, "Tell me what's going on with your 62 rings? If you don't explain it clearly, I'll put you in solitary confinement! I don't care if you're newlyweds or not, I'll take care of you!"
"Captain..." A young soldier on the side winked at Wu Lie.
"What are you doing?" The captain glanced at the little soldier.
The little soldier was the one who waved the flag and counted the numbers during target shooting. He seemed to know some secret and couldn't wait to report it to the captain, but the captain was unappreciative and acted businesslike.
"Captain, come here..." The little soldier wanted to whisper.
Wu Lie was furious. He had no patience to listen, so he shouted directly, "What are you going to do? Where are you going? Stop whining. If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have anything to say, let it go!"
The little warrior's hard work was in vain. He sighed and made a gesture directly, "If you don't want to listen, forget it. Just go and see it!"
Wu Lie snorted coldly, walked towards the target place 50 meters away with a dark face, and everyone followed him with "hoorahs".
Ye Xingchen didn't know why, so he hugged Sisi and went to watch with everyone. The expressions of mother and daughter were the same, and they were both confused. Lou Xi glanced out of the corner of his eye, and a softness flashed in his eyes.
The captain walked to the two targets first. The bullet holes left on them after the two shot were shot. The one on the left belongs to Ye Xingchen. There is nothing to say. There are 9 irregular bullet holes, basically in the 7th ring.
He was wandering around, and his performance was very stable, but it was all on the low side. Everyone looked at it, and although they didn't say anything, it meant - it was too bad! I was just embarrassed to say it.
The one with Lou Xi on the right is very different. There are 10 bullets and 10 bullet holes. At first glance, they are all arranged irregularly. But if you look closely, something is wrong. The captain narrowed his eyes.
He raised his hand and said, "Bring me a pen!"
The little soldier immediately handed over a red pen. The captain bit off the cap of the pen with his mouth and spat it out roughly. Then he waved his hand and drew lines along the ten bullet holes on the target. Every two straight lines intersected. At that intersection,
It happened to be the mark of a bullet hole, and then, a big five-pointed star magically appeared on the target for the first time!
Five-pointed star, symbol on the national flag, solemn and sacred.
Similarly, stars also represent the meaning of stars, gentle and bright.
Everyone's eyes lit up at first, and then they sighed. I didn't expect the battalion commander to know how to be romantic!
I don't know who took the lead in singing that military song again, "When your hair brushes my steel gun, don't blame me for still maintaining a calm face. In fact, I have both iron bones and soft intestines, but the youthful spirit."
The fire needs to be temporarily refrigerated. The days of being a soldier are both short and long. Don’t say that I don’t understand style and only focus on masculinity. Although there is war in this world, there is also the fragrance of flowers..."
Ye Xingchen listened to the soldiers singing thousands of times, and suddenly felt a little moved in his heart. His eyes unconsciously looked at Lou Xi who was surrounded by the soldiers. He smiled, but the smile was very shallow, like a meteor streaking across the night sky.
So much so that no one has time to catch it.
"Hahaha!" The captain suddenly laughed out loud. He was no longer as angry as before. He slapped Lou Xi on the shoulder, "Okay, good job!"
"Then Chief, are you still going to put me in solitary confinement?" Lou Xi asked deliberately.
"Cough...cough..." The captain of the brigade blushed and quickly changed the subject, "Come here, leave this target for me. Aren't the officers from the United States coming to our military exchange next month?
I will show this to them when the time comes, so that they can see what ace special forces are and what Chinese special forces are!"
"Yes!" The two little soldiers happily carried the target into the barracks, while the others clapped and cheered.
"Battalion Commander, well done!"
"Special Forces Brigade, well done!"
"Chinese Army, well done!"
The soldiers shouted, this is not because they like to show off, but because they really want to win glory for the country. The development of Chinese special forces was many years later than that of foreign countries. In the early years, they had no money, no technology, and no talent. Every time they competed with foreign troops,
When the special forces communicated, they were far behind others until Wu Lie took over the special forces. The military region has focused on training for many years, coupled with devil training, and has made great progress in recent years. Although they are now
They are not yet able to dominate the world, but with talents like Lou Xi, they see hope. They firmly believe that sooner or later, Chinese soldiers will impress the whole world! Foreigners no longer dare to underestimate the Chinese military, and no longer want to covet China.
Every bit of territory!
Ambition and passion soar into the sky.

Once you get excited, you can't stop, especially this group of passionate warriors. Once they go to the shooting range, they will definitely not leave easily if they are not satisfied. I don't know who it is, but they still want to play, so they simply come up with another idea.
A couple PK game.
The rules are very simple, that is, a couple forms a team, they work together to shoot targets, and then compete with other couples, and one shot determines the outcome.
Ye Xingchen secretly flinched. She had already made Lou Xi lose face once today, but she couldn't hurt him again. It was better not to embarrass him again with her bad grades.
"I think I still don't..." Before she could finish her refusal, Lou Xi skillfully loaded the bullet and handed it into her hand, "I'll help you."
Although he was timid, he could no longer refuse. Ye Xingchen held the gun anxiously, while Lou Xi walked behind her, opened his arms, and held her in his arms. A clear masculine aura suddenly hit him.
Her breathing tightened subconsciously.
"Relax." He patted her tense arm and held hers with his big hand, "Aim and shoot!"
She stiffened, still not daring to act rashly.
"Imagine the person you hate the most is standing there, aim, and shoot!" he said in a deep voice.
Ye Xingchen's legs suddenly softened, "I don't hate anyone."
Lou Xi was suddenly speechless, with a look in his eyes that said, "You can't teach a boy."
"Then...who is the person you hate the most?" she asked in relief.
He glanced at her deeply, and a strange expression suddenly appeared on his handsome face.
Ye Xingchen immediately felt that he had said the wrong thing. The person he hated most was of course Zuo Lingfeng.
Sweat suddenly broke out on her forehead. She quickly adjusted her breathing and looked forward, aiming at the bull's-eye. Her posture was wrong. He helped her correct it step by step. His profile was close to hers, and their breaths were intertwined.
His hand held hers and his leg was next to hers. She didn't want to think about it, but such close contact and his body temperature ironing hers made her feel nervous instinctively.
"Ye Xingchen, if you embarrass me again, I will definitely punish you tonight!" His expression was serious, but his tone was so evil.
Ye Xingchen's face felt hot, and he quickly concentrated his attention. Under his guidance and leadership, he aimed at the bull's-eye, pulled the trigger, and with a "bang", he hit the bull's-eye!
She herself was shocked, but it was a surprise. Wouldn't she need any punishment?
The corners of Lou Xi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.

After a long time of commotion, when it was time to eat, everyone went to the cafeteria together. It was really like what was sung in that song. The red words "Happy" were hung high on the wall, and there were two plates on each table to symbolize the
Auspicious dried fruits include longans, lilies, red dates, etc., which indicate a happy marriage and the early birth of a child.
"Battal commander, sister-in-law, you must work hard quickly to increase the number of people in our special brigade!" Li Yi said nonchalantly.
Two blushes appeared on Ye Xingchen's face involuntarily.
"Hey, comrades, how about we make a bet on whether the battalion commander and his sister-in-law will have a boy or a girl?"
"It's a boy! The boy will stay with our special forces team, and you will have to call me uncle by then!"
"Tch, who cares that you are an uncle? If you want to say that I am better off as a girl, just look at Sisi, how cute!"
Everyone was arguing endlessly. Before the gender was discussed, the issue of names came to mind again, "The boy will be called Lou Xiaoxi, and the girl will be called Ye Xiaoxing, haha!"
Ye Xingchen felt embarrassed and hurriedly lowered his head to eat. Pretending to be an ostrich is always the stupidest way in the world, but it is also the most self-comforting way. Unexpectedly, the lovely Sisi raised her face and asked innocently, "Brother? Mei?"
sister?"
Ye Xingchen almost choked, and quickly fed the little girl to eat, blocking her childish words.
"Batalion Commander, sister-in-law, let me take a picture of you!" Li Yi said suddenly.
Ye Xingchen was slightly startled, taking pictures?
Li Yi thought she was worried about safety issues, so he quickly explained, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this is just a canteen and does not involve military secrets. I asked the captain for permission and he said it can be filmed!"
As he said that, he took out a camera from his pocket. It was not an expensive SLR, it was just an ordinary card camera, but it was brand new. It looked like it had just been bought just to take a photo of them. You had to apply in advance.
She had to buy a camera to make a report. Ye Xingchen was moved by this sincerity. She didn't want to take the photo at first, but she couldn't bear to refuse anymore. She raised her eyes and looked at Lou Xi, who directly pulled a bench to the wall.
On the clean wall, there was only a big red word "Happy". Ye Xingchen walked over with Sisi in his arms. Lou Xi sat on one side. She sat next to him, a little reserved, with the little girl in her arms
But he looked very excited and smiled all over his face.
"Batalion Commander, sister-in-law, please come closer!" Li Yi gestured and said.
Lou Xi moved his body and put his arm around her shoulders. A look of embarrassment appeared on her face, she tilted her head slightly, leaned towards him, and squeezed out a smile.
Li Yi clicked the shutter button.

It was a noisy day, a fresh day, a surprising day, but also a very tiring day. At night, Ye Xingchen was so tired that he took a bath, changed clothes, and walked out of the bathroom slowly.
Lou Xi was coaxing Sisi to sleep in her room. The little girl had been excited all day and was already very sleepy. However, she still didn't want to sleep. She lay on the bed and babbling non-stop. Lou Xi lay on her side.
At her side, the big hand patted the little person, and a deep voice occasionally said yes. Finally, the little girl slowly only said the words "Ah, um, um" and leaned into his arms obediently.
Fall asleep sleepily.
Dimming the desk lamp darker, he placed the bear next to Sisi, then left gently, closing the door behind him.
In the guest room, Ye Xingchen had already laid down first. The sheets and quilt were the same ones she washed in the morning. They were already dry. They smelled of the sun, fresh and warm. After last night, she knew that she would sleep with Sisi.
Or sleeping on the sofa in the living room was just a fantasy, so she no longer asked for trouble. She also knew that it seemed bad that she didn't wait for him to return to the room, but she really didn't have the energy anymore.
As soon as his head hit the pillow, he felt sleepy immediately, and Ye Xingchen quickly fell into sleep.
When Lou Xi returned to the room, he saw that the woman on the bed had fallen asleep from exhaustion, with her black hair half disheveled and her face half covered.
He looked at it for a moment and silently turned off the light.
Ye Xingchen felt in a daze the other side of the bed suddenly sank, and a warm body surrounded her tightly.
Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are few.
◎◎◎
It was supposed to be a good night's sleep, but accidents always happened suddenly.
At two o'clock in the night, Ye Xingchen suddenly woke up for some reason. She suddenly opened her eyes and found that there was no one around her. When she touched the sheets, only the residual warmth remained.
She turned her head and found that she could vaguely see the light in the living room through the gap under the door. What was he doing?
Suspicious, she stood up gently and slowly opened the door. The light in the living room was dazzling, and a tall figure who was leaning on the coffee table writing something was faintly visible.
"Lou Xi..." She found that he had finished dressing and looked like he was going to perform a mission.
After hearing the sound, he slowly raised his head without speaking, then lowered his head and continued to write something. After a few hurried strokes, he stopped, folded the piece of paper, and put it into the envelope.
Ye Xingchen noticed that the envelope was white, and suddenly felt panicked.
"We have a mission, we will set off in an hour." He said succinctly.
Ye Xingchen subconsciously tightened the hem of her pajamas, and her palms suddenly became wet. She was finally sure of what he was writing - a suicide note!
Something hot and sour suddenly welled up in her throat. She turned around hurriedly and poured herself a glass of water, but the hand holding the glass was shaking uncontrollably.
I have always known that soldiers can't help themselves, and have always known that special forces are always at the forefront when there is danger, but I have never witnessed it with my own eyes. A thin piece of paper and a white envelope, just explained to them.
of a life.
Thinking of Dorje, Chen Zhou, and his fallen comrades, her chest seemed to be blocked by something, and even breathing became difficult.
He raised his head to drink a sip of water, and endured the sudden tears. At the same time, he swallowed the unspeakable bitter taste, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly turned around to face him again.
Her lips twitched and her facial muscles became a little stiff. She asked softly, "Is it dangerous?"
Lou Xi sealed the mouth of the envelope and nodded lightly, but it was so meaningless.
"Then...what did you write?"
He was suddenly startled, something flashed in his eyes, and he said, "You are in this letter. Do you want to read it?"
"No!" She shook her head quickly. If he was fine, the suicide note would be discarded automatically. Only when something happened would the suicide note be shown to his family. She didn't want to read it, and she never wanted to read it.
Lou Xi stood up slowly, returned to the room, took out two keys, and handed them to her, "One is from here, and the other is from the new house. It has not been decorated yet, so I leave it to you."
He bent over the coffee table again and wrote a note to her, which contained the address of the new house.
In addition, he gave her another card and said, "Just use this card if you need anything. You don't have to worry too much."
Ye Xingchen's hand froze in mid-air, hesitant.
Suddenly a whistle sounded outside the window, which was the slogan of an emergency gathering. Lou Xi put the note and card into her hand, and then left quickly.
Ye Xingchen froze on the spot, such a light note and such a light card, but it was like a huge stone, weighing her down almost out of breath, and at the same time, a touch of desolation suddenly rose in her heart.
