After they left the train, they went to the train station counter to report their identities and reasons for visiting the capital. Due to the crowd, it took them more than an hour to finish the registration. By the ti they left the train station, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as they exited the station, Pan ijia heard a familiar voice calling her, "Jiajia!"
Turning her head, she saw Xiao Yiguan and Pan Chimu waving at her as they ran over. A smile appeared on her face as she waved back and shouted, "Second brother, Brother Yiguan!"
The mont Li Lingyun heard this, his face darkened, and he stared at Xiao Yiguan without blinking.
Not long after, both Pan Chimu and Xiao Yiguan reached them.
"Second brother, how co you are here? Are you on leave?" Pan ijia asked.
Pan Chimu nodded and said, "I took a half-month leave for your sake."
He then took the bamboo suitcase from Li Lingyun's hand and said, "Brother-in-law, thank you for taking care of Jiajia."
When Li Lingyun heard this, he felt better. He glanced at Xiao Yiguan and said with a smile, "Jia Er is my fiancée, it's what I should do."
Xiao Yiguan was amused by his childish behavior and thought,
'Is this man still jealous of ?'
Initially, he wanted to provoke Li Lingyun. But when he looked at the people standing there, his eyes widened with surprise. The mont he saw Li Chenmo, he straightened his posture, saluted, and said solemnly, "Greetings, Captain Li!"
Everyone looked at him in confusion, including Pan Chimu. Following his friend's gaze, Pan Chimu's eyes widened in shock, and he quickly gave a formal salute, "Greetings, Captain Li!"
Seeing this, Lu Jueyu looked at her husband and asked, "Husband, do you know them?"
Li Chenmo looked at them and replied, "I don't know them."
Even though he didn't rember having t them before, he still set down the bags he was holding, returned their salute, and said, "At ease."
With his words, both Pan Chimu and Xiao Yiguan stood with their legs apart and their hands clasped behind their backs.
When he saw how they act as if they were in the military training, Li Chenmo said helplessly, "Both of you don't have to do that. I'm already retired from the military and no longer a Captain."
Seeing his smile, both of them exchanged glances before relaxing.
"Did you know ?" Li Chenmo asked.
Xiao Yiguan nodded and replied, "Captain Li, you trained for two years when I first joined the military."
"Captain Li, I joined your team for half a year and trained under you for three years," Pan Chimu said.
Li Chenmo thought for a mont and asked, "What's your na?"
"My na is Pan Chimu. I'm a Sergeant in the army now."
"My na is Xiao Yiguan, and I'm a First Sergeant in the army."
When he heard their nas, Li Chenmo finally had a flash of mory about them. He recalled that both n were older than him but had enlisted later than him. Pan Chimu is the sa age as him but was born one month earlier. As for Xiao Yiguan, he is two years older than him.
He smiled and said, "Sorry for not recognizing you both. You look so different from years ago."
"It's alright, Captain Li. Both of us are no longer a green young boy. So, it's normal for you not to recognize us," Pan Chimu said with a grin.
Even if he had forgotten their nas, it couldn't be blad on Li Chenmo. After all, he had trained many new recruits, and it was impossible for him to rember each one.
In the entire army, he was a legend. In his 11 years of military service, he completed nurous S-rank missions and trained countless soldiers. When news of his retirent due to injuries spread, everyone felt sadness and regret.
Seeing her second brother acting like a lackey in front of her boyfriend's younger brother, Pan ijia was taken aback. She knew that Li Chenmo had been a soldier, but she had never realized he was a Captain and even trained her brother before.
For him to beco a Captain at such a young age—what great talent and skills he must have!
After a mont, Li Lingyun cleared his throat and said to Pan Chimu, "Brother-in-law, my family and I will visit your parents in two days."
Hearing this, Pan Chimu ca back to his senses and said, "Oh, okay."
Then he turned to Father Li, looking a bit embarrassed when he said, "Hello, Uncle Li. I was rude just now, please forgive ."
Father Li waved his hand and smiled amicably, "It's alright. We will beco family soon, there's no need to be too formal."
Pan Chimu smiled back and said, "Then I will head back with my sister first. Uncle Li, I will inform my parents about your visit and wait for you."
"Good!" Father Li nodded.
After a brief exchange, Pan Chimu picked up his sister's suitcase, and he and Xiao Yiguan went to the car first.
Knowing that the couple needed to talk, Father Li and the others waited a little distance away, giving them so privacy.
Pan ijia held onto her boyfriend's sleeve and asked, "Brother Yun, why are you angry?"
Li Lingyun was taken aback by her words and replied, "Jia Er, why do you think I'm angry?"
"You look so scary just now. Is it because of Brother Yiguan?" she asked.
Hearing this, Li Lingyun nodded and told her what he was thinking, "I thought you two wouldn't have anything to do with each other anymore. I never expected him to pick you up today."
Pan ijia worried that her boyfriend's jealousy would resurface, so she quickly explained, "Brother Yun, I haven't contacted him since the last ti he ca to Xie Village."
"But our families are friends. Not only are our mothers best friends, but our fathers also have a work relationship. So, it's impossible to have no contact with him at all. Brother Yun, if you don't like him, I can ignore him," she added.
