The remaining snow on the road has not melted yet, with patches scattered here and there. Jiang Xinyu and Hattori Mina were walking aimlessly along the street. They had just come out of a movie theater.
"Miss Mina, are you worried about something?" Jiang Xinyu looked at the words and expressions and saw that Hattori Mina was not in a good mood.
"...I had a fight with my brother in the morning." Hattori Mina said gloomily.
Jiang Xinyu advised: "The quarrel between brothers and sisters is a trivial matter and can be reconciled quickly. Generally speaking, the elder brother will give in to the younger sister, and it will be the elder brother who compromises in the end."
"can you?"
"Of course I will. I guess after you go home tonight, Major Hattori will try his best to make you happy."
Hattori Mina covered her mouth and smiled: "It's so clear, as if you have a sister."
"I do have a sister..." Jiang Xinyu felt a dull pain in his heart.
Hattori Mina said in surprise: "You have a sister? Why have I never heard from you? Where is she now?"
"She's dead."
"ah……"
Jiang Xinyu lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said: "My sister's name is Jiang Yue. She is three years younger than me. She is about the same height as you. She has a lively and cheerful personality and is enthusiastic about others. Everyone likes her."
"Then why is she...sick?"
"No! He died in the war."
Jiang Yue was studying in Hangzhou. After the fall of Hangzhou, her family was worried about her safety and wrote a letter asking her to return to Jiangshan. However, something happened before the letter was sent.
Several brutal Japanese soldiers dragged Jiang Yue into an alley with the intention of committing atrocities. During the fierce resistance, Jiang Yue scratched the face of a sergeant. The sergeant became angry and stabbed him several times with his bayonet.
Brutally killed Jiang Yue.
Jiang Xinyu didn't want to tell Hattori Mina about the detailed story of this incident. If it came to Hattori Yan's ears, it's hard to say that he wouldn't be wary of him because of it.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned your sadness." Hattori Mina blamed herself.
"It doesn't matter, four or five years have passed...my mother said that Yue'er has been reincarnated."
The two talked and walked for a while. Hattori Mina touched Jiang Xinyu's hand intentionally or unintentionally, and then held it tightly. Although her face was shy and she didn't dare to look at Jiang Xinyu, she never let go.
Hattori Mina's sudden bold move made Jiang Xinyu panic for a moment. It was true that he wanted to take advantage of her, but should he develop this kind of relationship?
The two of them held hands and had their own secrets. When they arrived at the place where the bicycles were stored, Jiang Xinyu stopped and said, "It's getting late, shall I take you back?"
Hattori Mina nodded vigorously. She was now immersed in the great happiness she had created. Even if Jiang Xinyu wanted to take her to the mountains of swords and seas of fire, she would not look back or hesitate!
Jiang Xinyu rode on the car, and Hattori Mina sat behind, gently holding Jiang Xinyu's waist. It was the first time in her adult life that she was so close to a man, which made her heart beat wildly.
"Where to go?" Jiang Xinyu asked while riding his bike.
Hattori Mina nestled on Jiang Xinyu's back and murmured: "You can go anywhere..."
Jiang Xinyu: "This is not far from Plum Blossom Lane. Shall I take you to your brother's? In the evening, you can go home with him."
"Um."
Half an hour later, they arrived in front of the Japanese Military Police at No. 13 Plum Blossom Lane.
"Miss Mina, it's so cold, please go in quickly."
"You come in too and have a cup of hot tea before you leave."
"Isn't this...not good?"
"I let you in, what's wrong with that?" Hattori Mina said without any explanation, pulling Jiang Xinyu into the gendarmerie gate.
Choosing a movie theater close to Plum Blossom Lane would make it natural and reasonable to send Hattori Mina back to the Military Police. All of this was planned by Jiang Xinyu in advance. The only link that was not included in the design was Hattori Mina's true feelings for him.
A new eye-catching word "Pull" was posted on the door of the captain's room. Hattori Mina pouted and snorted, "It should have been like this a long time ago. It caused me to bump into it several times!"
"Is it Mina? Come in." Hattori Hikoo's voice came from the room.
Hattori Mina took Jiang Xinyu's hand, opened the door and walked in.
"Hello, Major Hattori." Jiang Xinyu bowed slightly in greeting.
Hattori Hikoo's eyes slowly fell from top to bottom on the hands of Jiang Xinyu and his sister. There was no dissatisfaction on his face and he said: "Officer Jiang, please sit down."
Hattori Mina rubbed her hands and said, "Brother, I'm so cold."
Hattori Hikoo glanced at his sister pityingly and said, "I asked you to wear more clothes this morning, but you didn't listen. Now you know you're cold?"
"What are you asking me to wear? It's so thick and looks like a bear. I don't want to wear it!" Hattori Mina picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip.
Hattori Hikoo frowned and said, "That's my tea bowl."
Hattori Mina blinked and said: "What are you afraid of if you use it? I don't think you are dirty."
As she spoke, she took an empty tea bowl, poured a cup of tea, brought it to Jiang Xinyu, and then sat down obediently and quietly, like a little wife serving her husband.
Hattori Hikoo: "Officer Jiang, please have tea..."
"Major, something happened!" The door was pushed open with a crash, and Kako Nakamura rushed in in a panic.
He immediately saw Jiang Xinyu, with Hattori Mina accompanying him like a little bird. This scene made Nakamura Kako jealous: "Jiang Xinyu? Why are you here?"
Hattori Hikoo: "Nakamura-kun, let me remind you again, you must not only learn to respect your boss, but also respect your boss's guests!"
"……yes."
Although he promised, Nakamura Kako still glared at Jiang Xinyu, wishing he could throw the Chinese out immediately.
Hattori Hikoo sighed inwardly. No wonder Mina didn't like Nakamura. This man was really poorly behaved, rude, brutal, and easily angry. If it weren't for his father's relationship, this kind of person would not be suitable to serve in the military police at all.
He had been sent to the frontline troops long ago.
"Nakamura-kun, what happened?"
"Oh, Zeng Che just committed suicide!"
Hattori Hikoo stood up abruptly: "What? How is he doing now?"
"Major, don't worry. Military doctors are treating him. There should be nothing wrong with him. He just hit his head."
"Come out with me!" Hattori Hikoo stood up and walked out of the captain's room. He didn't want outsiders to hear this.
Before going out, Nakamura Kako gave Jiang Xinyu a hard look and walked out of the house unwillingly.
Arriving outside the door, Hattori Hikoo asked: "What on earth is going on?"
Kako Nakamura: "According to your order, I interrogated him. He took advantage of our unpreparedness and suddenly slammed into the iron door. Fortunately, he did not hit any vital points..."
