Chapter 620 Shi Sijin: Should I have come back?

A day can pass quickly for some people, like Shi Sijin.

"Is it getting dark already?"

Holding a red tomato in her hand, Shi Sijin suddenly noticed that it was getting dark and couldn't help but look up at the sky.

In front of Shi Sijin was a tomato tree that was about ten meters tall, with only some small tomatoes that had not yet grown and matured.

Looking around, in this tomato field of about two acres, four-fifths of the tomato plants only have unripe small fruits hanging on them.

Because all the ripe red tomatoes had been picked by everyone and placed in their respective personal storage compartments.

Just as Bai Mianmian heard Shi Sijin's words, she picked the last ripe tomato from the tomato tree in front of her.

She glanced at the sky, then at the time on her terminal. After storing the tomatoes in her spatial storage, she looked at Jiang Ci, who was also picking tomatoes beside her, and asked, "Shouldn't we go back?"

"Well, it's getting late. Let's finish picking these last few tomatoes and then head back," Jiang Ci said calmly, his hands still busy.

We should head back now, otherwise things might get complicated with Marshal Shi.

Upon hearing this, Shi Sijin immediately rushed to the next tomato tree.

The others also sped up their tomato picking.

They might not be able to eat these tomatoes tonight, but if they pick them all quickly enough, they might be able to eat them tomorrow!

With this in mind, almost everyone sped up the pace of picking tomatoes, including Ning Anrou.

She had eaten this tomato before, and it tasted delicious. She wanted to pick more to take back for her husband to try.

While everyone was busy here, in Jiang Ci's office at the Second Army Corps headquarters, Marshal Shi was handling his official business with a dark expression.

Once again, Marshal Shi signed his name on the document displayed on the terminal screen, frowned, and looked up towards the door.

After watching for a while, the tightly closed door still showed no sign of opening.

Marshal Shi's brows furrowed even more.

Just as he was about to turn his attention back to his official duties, the tightly closed door suddenly opened.

"!" Marshal Shi's face, which had been furrowed with worry, suddenly became serious, and his displeasure and irritation were completely suppressed.

However, instead of withdrawing his gaze, he stared intently at the slowly opening door, his eyes like those of a hawk, exuding a majestic and murderous aura.

Zhuo Juntao, who appeared behind the door, was caught off guard when his gaze met that of Marshal Shi on the sofa.

"!" In an instant, Zhuo Juntao felt as if an invisible arrow had pierced his heart, his pupils dilating in shock.

But that wasn't all. Marshal Shi's chilling aura pressed down on him mercilessly, and in that instant, he felt his heart clench and his breath catch in his throat.

Marshal Shi narrowed his eyes slightly. When he realized that the person outside the door was not the one he wanted to see, his brows immediately furrowed in displeasure. As the sharpness in his eyes faded, his aura also vanished without a trace.

Seeing that Zhuo Juntao remained silent, Marshal Shi asked with displeasure, "What is it?"

Zhuo Juntao, who had just recovered from the fact that Marshal Shi had toned down his aura, paused again when asked this question. He quickly recalled what he had done that day to offend him.

"Hmm?" Marshal Shi waited for a while without hearing a reply, and then made a questioning sound, seemingly dissatisfied.

Zhuo Juntao sensed something was wrong and immediately stood up straight, saluted Marshal Shi, and said, "Reporting to the Marshal, shall dinner still be delivered to you?"

When Marshal Shi heard him mention dinner, he immediately thought of the delicious bamboo rice and lotus root soup he had for lunch at noon, and his mood instantly brightened.

The muscles on his face, which had been tense, visibly relaxed as he said, "Have it delivered."

"Yes!" Zhuo Juntao replied immediately.

"Wait!" Just as Zhuo Juntao turned to leave, Marshal Shi suddenly shouted.

Zhuo Juntao immediately withdrew his foot, which had just taken a step, and stood facing Marshal Shi as if awaiting orders. Marshal Shi looked at Zhuo Juntao with an expressionless face and asked, "Where does your corps commander eat?"

"Reporting to the Marshal..."

……

Before it got completely dark, Bai Mianmian and her group left the forest.

"Mianmian, I'll head back now. I'll come visit you again when I have time."

Ning Anrou waved to Bai Mianmian, then controlled her hover shoes to fly towards Chen Jiajia and the others who were already waiting there.

Chen Jiajia noticed Bai Mianmian's gaze on her and immediately smiled and nodded in greeting.

Bai Mianmian smiled and nodded in response.

At this moment, Ning Anrou successfully reunited with Chen Jiajia and the others. She turned around and waved to Bai Mianmian before turning and flying towards the safe zone. Chen Jiajia and the others immediately followed.

Seeing that everyone had flown far away, Bai Mianmian and her group headed towards the Second Legion's base.

Because Marshal Shi was there, Jiang Ci didn't have his Xiao Zhi No. 1 robot prepare dinner today, so after returning to their camp, they went straight to the canteen.

"Sister-in-law, can we eat this tomato after dinner?" Shi Sijin, who had been silent the whole way, finally couldn't help but ask on the way to the cafeteria.

As soon as he said this, the members of the Second Legion who had picked tomatoes that day immediately looked at Bai Mianmian with bright eyes.

"..." Suddenly realizing that countless burning gazes were falling on her, Bai Mianmian paused for a moment before saying, "Okay."

Shi Sijin's face immediately lit up with joy. "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" the Second Legion's team members immediately shouted in unison.

The neat and loud thank-you notes immediately attracted the attention of many people around.

Before long, the Second Legion's group chat, which included Bai Mianmian, became lively again.

Why are they all suddenly so happy?

Marshal Shi, who was sitting alone at a table in the canteen, saw the Second Army Corps members suddenly cheering and jumping for joy, and couldn't help but ask Zhuo Juntao, who was sitting at the next table.

"Report." Zhuo Juntao immediately stood up and faced Marshal Shi.

Those sitting near Marshal Shi, who had been hesitant to cheer like the others due to his presence, immediately suppressed their smiles upon hearing his question and stood up along with Zhuo Juntao.

Their sudden commotion immediately attracted the attention of others, and the laughter and chatter almost simultaneously ceased.

"No need to report, just say what you have to say," Marshal Shi said, waving his hand at Zhuo Juntao.

He then looked at the others, a warm smile on his face, and said, "Don't be shy, just do what you need to do."

"What's going on here?"

Shi Sijin, who had a smile on her face, noticed something was off as soon as she entered the cafeteria. It was obvious that the source of the problem was her father, so she immediately stopped smiling and asked.

When Marshal Shi saw that it was Shi Sijin who had returned, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and his slightly lowered eyes shot a sharp look at him.

"?!" Shi Sijin was completely stunned by her father's sharp gaze.

What... what happened?!

"You still know to come back!" Marshal Shi said in a deep voice.

“Uh…” Shi Sijin’s eyes darted around, and she thought to herself: Shouldn’t I have come back?
