The confusion that had haunted him for a long time disappeared like the sun in the clouds.

Once upon a time, the gaze that was trapped in the double net of confusion and lack of confidence also became sharp again, and the momentum exercised in Nangong Longfei's dojo was fully revealed.

After making a decision, I felt indescribably comfortable. Ji Yuehua raised the teacup, and when she was about to take a sip, she realized that the teacup in her hand was already empty!

It turned out that in the Q&A just now, because I felt that drinking tea would help calm my heart, every time I felt sorry in my heart, I subconsciously took a sip and unconsciously, the tea in the cup was drunk, and he himself was still at a loss.

"Put the cup down. I'll add you another cup of tea. ”

Looking at Ji Yuehua's stunned appearance, and thinking back to a moment ago, the look on the other party's face that seemed to be like an unsheathed sword couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Tachibana Yukino picked up the teapot on the side with one hand, and took the teacup handed over by Ji Yuehua with the other, tilted the teapot, and added tea to the cup.

The two of them didn't talk much, but if you count the time to think, the time of the whole process is by no means short.

The tea in Tachibana Yukino's cup has long since turned cold

However, the pale green tea, slowly flowing along the spout, still has a white heat. The mellow aroma of tea fills the room with a white mist.

"Although this purple clay pot looks no different from an ordinary teapot on the surface, in fact, it has a thermal insulation function and is a finished product of the previous Technology Development Bureau. Originally, it was bought by the commander of Yueqing as a backup, but when he saw that I wanted it, he transferred it to me. Now, I am no longer the newcomer who couldn't help at the beginning, and I have followed Master Kong Ciren for a while, but this tea set has been preserved to this day. ”

"Sister Yukino. How long have you been in the military?"

"I think it's been almost two years. I was picked up and returned to the military headquarters three years ago, and I officially passed the examination about six to seven months before your two sisters. Strictly speaking, I was the passer of your two sisters in the last term. ”

"What do you mean to be picked up and brought back to the military headquarters?"

"My family and I used to live relatively close to the military defense line until one day, when the Calambulum broke through the military defenses and my parents died in that invasion. My sister and I have a good friend who has been on good terms since we were children. Overnight, it became a homeless person. Seeing that we were helpless and that she herself did not believe in the so-called assistance of government agencies, she offered to take us in to the military headquarters, and I agreed, while my younger sister followed her friends who did not want to come to the military headquarters to live in the central urban area of "Qingyao", which is close to the core of the government. Now, that place is divided into the defense line area of the military headquarters, and I am the adjutant of the 13th Division, and that good friend is studying with financial support from the government, and in the future it seems that he is planning to open a café or something, and we have correspondence every month. At the same time, every time I send a letter, I put half of my salary in the letter, and give it to them for living expenses, which is about that. ”

"So your parents are right, I'm sorry!! I didn't mean to remind you of this kind of thing!"

An experience similar to that of his second sister

Before being surprised by Tachibana Yukino's past, the first thing Ji Yuehua did was to bow her head and apologize.

The death of both parents and the separation of sisters are undoubtedly not memories that anyone can talk about with a smile.

Originally, I just asked casually, but I didn't expect it. would actually hook up such a tragic past as Tachibana Yukinai, Ji Yuehua's heart went up and down. The little head that hung down, because he didn't dare to raise it. I had to secretly look at Tachibana Yukino's face.

"It's okay. You don't know, of course I know you didn't mean to, and it's been so long. What was once an unforgettable nightmare is now just a memory for me. To put it another way, aren't my sister and I alive and well now? Even if we can't see each other often. As long as you live, there will always be moments when you get together, and you don't have to feel guilty. ”

Compared with Ji Yuehua, who felt that she had stepped on a landmine in a panic, Tachibana Yukino herself was very indifferent, as if she really felt that there was no problem.

Ji Yuehua's cup was full. By the way, he added tea to his remaining half of the teacup.

Putting Ji Yuehua's cup back in front of him, Tachibana Yukino said as she took a sip of the hot tea she had just poured, "Compared to this, I can be regarded as doing you a favor, right?"

"I found the answer to the confusion that has been haunting my heart for a long time, and I didn't just do it a favor?"

"That's fine, actually, I have something I want to ask you."

After a slight pause in her voice, Tachibana Yukino glanced at Ji Yuehua carefully, and said softly, "A while ago, I heard a rumor from the members of the Tenth Division, but I am not sure that I heard that you are not the commander of the Fifth Division of the previous generation, so let's say so." I heard that before you joined the military department, you were a disciple of the old man Nangong Longfei?"

"Hmm. I once studied kendo for five years in the dojo of Old Man Long Fei. Sister Xue Nai, do you also know Old Man Long Fei?"

Nangong Longfei is the commander of the Fifth Division of the previous generation, and Ji Yuehua had already heard him say this matter on the day he first met Dongfang Canglong. Now that Tachibana Yukinai mentioned this, Ji Yuehua immediately recalled it, and the doubts just now were also solved.

Speaking of the commander of the Fifth Division of the previous generation, that is Nangong Longfei himself! Since it is the room handed down by Nangong Longfei, it is natural that there will be his calligraphy here, why can't he remember it just now?

"How is that possible? It's just that I've heard about the commander of the Fifth Division of the previous generation" Feeling Ji Yuehua's surprised gaze, Tachibana Yukino did not hide it, and explained, "The division commander of our family was the adjutant of the old man Nangong back then. In the usual ten sentences, there is always a sentence to mention the time when I worked with the old man Nangong. When I was eating in the cafeteria, I heard that you might be a disciple of the old man Nangong, and he almost wanted to throw down the rice bowl in his hand and knock directly on your door In the end, it was Kenneth Albert, the commander of the Eighth Division, who held him down on the grounds that "those who are tall must have corresponding manners", which stopped him from wanting to rush to the girls' dormitory. After that, because of the successive assignments, although our family teacher put aside the matter of looking for you for the time being, he has always remembered that you should ask for him. Of course, as far as I am concerned, I am also very interested in the former Fifth Division Commander and his disciples. ”

Even in a bland tone, quite an astonishing truth was revealed.

It turned out that he was almost approached by a division commander

(Anyway, is Old Man Long Fei's adjutant?) I don't know what kind of person it is?)

Just as Ji Yuehua was amazed in her heart, Tachibana Yukino had already continued: "As a disciple of the old man of Nangong, are you qualified?" Even though you have such a glorious past, our family's teacher still seems to have doubts about it. ”

"If you have doubts or something, the commander of the Fifth Division wants to test my strength personally, right?"

The more Tachibana Yukino continued, the more frightened Ji Yuehua became.

Unlike the second sister Ruoxiwan, he is not a person who will accept the challenge of skipping the level because of a hot brain.

Now, he has just regained his desire to hold the knife, and there has been a gap of nearly a year, and it is not even clear whether he can maintain the level of the past.

Although he didn't mind competing with others, he was bound to lose the battle, and he had to gamble on his reputation as a disciple of "Nangong Longfei", and such a troublesome matter that was just about personal honor and disgrace could still be avoided in his opinion.

"Not really. Although the master of our family is eager to see what you are capable of, he will not do anything to bully the small. I think the greatest possibility is to ask your boss, Director Yonglin, to carry out the mission together, and then he himself, or let me observe it, right?"

Taking a sip of the tea that was gradually getting warmer, Tachibana Yukino looked at Ji Yuehua quietly, as if she was evaluating something.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze. I don't know what I saw, Tachibana Yukino just smiled faintly, and said, "The 13th Division does not have a fixed formation now, in other words, just like the current 1st Division Special Force, no matter what division sets off to carry out the mission, I think that in the near future, there will be a day when we will be on duty together." Until then, you should exercise yourself. It's not easy to regain direction, to catch up with that blank period, and the next time you meet, you'll have completely solved both of today's doubts. ”
