Chapter 664 The 80s (13)
"Even if I lose my abs, my skills will still be there," Huo Yunxiao said, his argument both unconvincing and assertive.
“I don’t know if you still have the skills, but you still have the face. That way, when we go back, our parents won’t worry about you not finding a wife.” Wangyou said, glancing at her brother’s face.
"Let's hurry up and get our tickets checked!" Huo Yunxiao was worried about being pressured to get married by his younger sister, so he quickly changed the subject.
"I'm waiting for someone. Why don't you go and join the queue first? Yanran and the others will be here soon."
"Then I'll wait a bit, no rush."
Lin Yanran, Qingyan, and Bei Qianqian arrived shortly afterward. After waiting for a while, they went to check their tickets and prepared to board the plane.
After getting off the plane, they still have to take a bus for more than two hours to get home.
"I really want to buy a private jet, but I don't know if it's possible to arrange it now." Wangyou was feeling dizzy and lightheaded from the long car ride.
"Smell this orange, it will make you feel much better," Qingyan said, handing Wangyou a large orange.
"Okay, thank you, Yan Yan."
Upon arriving home, both Wangyou and Huo Yunxiao felt the love from their elderly father and mother.
First, Huo Yunxiao received two slaps from his own mother. Then, she carefully checked him to see if he was injured, her eyes filled with heartache and tears.
Next was her father, Huo Dashan. The moment he saw his son, although he didn't rush forward, he still gave him a thorough once-over, paying particular attention to his complexion. After confirming that he was alright, he said with relief, "It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!"
Then came Wangyou and her friends. They knew they were coming, so the rooms were all prepared.
Huo Yunxiao was given a month's leave, but he didn't relax at all during that month and managed to get his skills and abs back in shape.
Then Huo Yunxiao discovered a tragic truth: he really couldn't beat his sister. Even if Wangyou went all out, they were evenly matched. One punch from Wangyou would send him to his death.
"No, sis, how did you train? You're so skilled. Did you eat some rare and precious herbs?" Huo Yunxiao said, sprawled on the ground.
"Because I am a martial arts prodigy, one in a hundred years," Wangyou boasted.
"It turns out that a single move can decide life or death in a duel between masters. I've decided not to go on vacation. I need to study properly so that I can at least protect myself when I go out," Qingyan said seriously, though her eyes were a little unfocused, but none of the others noticed.
"I want one too! I won't need bodyguards when I go abroad for diplomatic missions anymore." Lin Yanran felt her fighting spirit was about to be unleashed.
“Although I can hire bodyguards, it’s better to rely on myself than on others. I’ve decided to call my dad and not go home for now. I need to strengthen myself.” Bei Qianqian was equally determined.
So, three delicate and frail girls joined the morning exercise group in Huojia Village. Uncle Liu, who was in charge of teaching them martial arts, said that the three girls didn't have much talent, but they wanted to learn self-defense, which was something they could learn.
Of course, Huo Yunxiao was the one who received extra training. He was exhausted every day when he got home. Fortunately, Wangyou prepared a medicinal bath for him when he got home, and he was still full of energy the next day.
Wangyou took advantage of this time to go for a walk in the mountains. The mountains here really have everything, and there are many wild animals. Since several kinds of animals have been included in the protection scope, they have become rare, so poachers always try to sneak in.
Because of this, the militia teams in the nearby villages have never been disbanded, and each village takes turns patrolling.
Actually, they can't really call this a village anymore. Each village is almost like a small town, and there are roads connecting all the villages, making communication very convenient.
Wangyou went into the mountains to connect with the animals and ask if there were any unusual things happening in the mountains.
A month later, they were all about to leave.
What Wangyou found intriguing was that Qingyan and her brother had actually taken a liking to each other. No, when did they start secretly getting together behind her back? How come she hadn't noticed at all?
Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, Wangyou was lying on the roof looking at the stars when she unexpectedly caught a pair of lovers—her best friend and her brother! How outrageous!
Wangyou was having a fierce brainstorming session because she really couldn't figure out how two people who were exhausted every day could still have the mind to date. However, it didn't seem appropriate to go out and ask now.
"Qingyan, are you really sure? Being a military wife is tough." Huo Yunxiao hesitated at the last minute.
“I’m not afraid of hardship. I can handle everything. I can go with you to the army in the future. Besides, I believe in you. I believe that Wangyou’s brother is definitely the most responsible man.” Qingyan said firmly.
"Good heavens, we're still single, and Yan Yan has already found someone behind our backs!" Wang You, who was eavesdropping on the roof, suddenly heard mutterings from the corner. Looking over, she saw Lin Yanran and Bei Qianqian also eavesdropping with obvious secret feelings.
Wangyou nodded in agreement with Yanran's words, but as expected of roommates, neither of them thought of exposing her, but instead tacitly watched the show. As for the interrogation, they would talk about it tomorrow.
"Why are you being so fussy? Can't you just give me a hug? You're such a grown-up, why are you still so shy? If that doesn't work, a kiss would be fine too!" Bei Qianqian muttered softly, and Wangyou wouldn't have heard her if she hadn't had such good hearing.
Wangyou nodded in agreement. It was the first time they had ever witnessed a couple dating in person. People at school were all too reserved, and the girls were all quite busy, so they hadn't really paid much attention before.
"Qingyan, my name is Huo Yunxiao. I'm 28 years old, a battalion-level major, with a salary of 625 yuan plus bonuses. I have no dating history, and my parents and sister are all easy to get along with. I currently work in the Southwest Military Region. I promise that after we get married, I will hand over all my salary and bonuses." Huo Yunxiao suddenly introduced himself in a louder voice.
Wangyou was so frightened she almost rolled off the roof. Then she looked down and, lo and behold, her parents were also peeking inside!
Over there, the newly-minted couple finally shared a simple hug. Even after they returned to their room, the onlookers were still reluctant to leave, finding the whole thing too drawn out.
The next day, Huo Yunxiao immediately told Qingyan that he and she had become a couple. He said he would write a report about their relationship when he got back, and that he would visit Qingyan's parents with her when he returned next time.
“Son, since you’re going to date this girl, you have to treat her well, or your mother won’t let you off easy with her bamboo stick.” Liu Manni was also very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law. In her words, anyone who could get along well with her daughter would definitely be fine.
In the afternoon, Huo Yunxiao was about to leave. In order not to disturb the two of them as they were getting to know each other, the three-person group decided to go up the mountain to pick some local delicacies.
Two days later, Lin Yanran, Qingyan, and Bei Qianqian were also leaving; they needed to go home at least once.
Wangyou prepared some of her commonly used pills for the group, while her parents prepared a box of mountain delicacies for them, so they certainly wouldn't have to worry about food.
After seeing the group off, the Huo family courtyard suddenly became quiet and deserted.
