Chapter 623 She Should Be Content
Shi Sijin slowly withdrew her fingers under Marshal Shi's cold gaze.

He didn't show it on his face, but he couldn't help but think to himself: If you're not going to poke me, then don't poke me. Is it necessary to look at me with such murderous eyes?

Besides, wasn't I just trying to remind him not to go too far?

Hmph! They don't appreciate kindness!
However, despite his inner turmoil, Shi Sijin didn't dare to voice these thoughts aloud at that moment.

Without Shi Sijin's constantly mischievous fingers, Marshal Shi's serious expression softened.

He looked up at Bai Mianmian first, and seeing that she looked normal, he looked at Jiang Ci and replied, "Dinner was very good."

"It's absolutely delicious, a hundred times better than any star-rated hotel on the main planet," Shi Sijin said, her voice slightly muffled.

He would "correct" Marshal Shi's words even while he was eating, which shows how much he loved these dishes and wouldn't allow anyone to belittle them, not even his own father!

Marshal Shi: "..." How come I never realized before that this brat had such a talent for arguing!
Bai Mianmian looked at Shi Sijin with surprise. She had never seen him use such exaggerated praise when they ate together.

"Sister-in-law, I'm telling you the absolute truth." Shi Sijin noticed Bai Mianmian looking at him, quickly swallowed what was in his mouth, and assured her.

His serious expression startled Bai Mianmian for a moment, then she forced a smile and said, "As long as it suits your taste."

The way he looked made it seem like he was talking about something important, if you hadn't heard what he was saying.

"If there's not enough food, we can add more," Jiang Ci replied, addressing Marshal Shi.

After all, Shi Sijin had become quite familiar with the place by now. In terms of the number of times he ate in the cafeteria, he even ate there more frequently than Jiang Ci, the host.

However, Shi Sijin himself was the quickest to react to Jiang Ci's words. He immediately turned around and called over the robot, ordering, "Give me an extra serving of braised pork ribs."

The meals served in the Second Legion's mess hall were very large; one serving was usually enough to fill a person up completely. If Jiang Ci hadn't reminded him, he would have completely forgotten that he could ask for more food.

Tonight's dinner includes braised pork ribs, braised eel, braised chicken, stir-fried beef, stir-fried mantis shrimp with ginger and scallions, and lotus root and bone soup. Now he can finally eat it all! So happy!
With only food on her mind, Shi Sijin didn't realize that Jiang Ci's words had another meaning, but Marshal Shi understood that Jiang Ci was telling him not to stare at Bai Mianmian's superpowered mushrooms.

Jiang Ci is very protective of Bai Mianmian!
However, this food should definitely be eaten while it's hot. The braised pork ribs I just ate were incredibly delicious, so how delicious must the other dishes be?
Anyway, I'll be staying here for a few days, so I have plenty of time to satisfy my curiosity about Bai Mianmian's superpowered mushroom.

Marshal Shi successfully convinced himself, glanced at Jiang Ci with a meaningful look, and smiled, "Okay, I understand."

However, before continuing to eat, Marshal Shi gave Shi Sijin a lukewarm look.

"?!" Shi Sijin was instantly stunned by the gaze.

What did it mean when his elderly father looked at him like that?
Did he add another note to his mental record of her actions?!

Shi Sijin wanted to ask, but seeing how focused Marshal Shi was on his meal, he didn't dare to ask, afraid of disturbing his father's meal and getting another note added to his little notebook.

While Marshal Shi and Shi Sijin ate in silence, Bai Mianmian and Jiang Ci did not speak either. However, they would occasionally serve each other their favorite dishes, their actions revealing a natural understanding and warmth.

Marshal Shi caught a glimpse of their interaction out of the corner of his eye, and then looked at his son beside him, whose eyes and mind were only on food. For some reason, he suddenly felt very heartbroken, and the delicious braised pork ribs he was eating didn't taste as good as before.

Then, unable to resist, he gave Shi Sijin a look of disappointment.

Suddenly feeling a chill down her spine, Shi Sijin immediately looked around warily, as if determined to find the source of the danger.

However, when he raised his wary eyes, he met Marshal Shi's disdainful gaze without any warning.

“…??” Shi Sijin paused, then looked puzzled.

What had he done to offend his father this time? Just as he was about to ask, Marshal Shi quickly looked away, adopting an attitude of not wanting to see him and not wanting to bother him, and even refused to communicate with him.

Shi Sijin, who was about to say something, was speechless.

Tired of heart!

While Bai Mianmian and the others were having dinner, Sun Yuxin was also having her dinner.

However, she was not in the Second Legion's mess hall, nor was she eating the dinner provided by the Second Legion's mess hall.

She was eating natural food prepared by the chef she had brought, in a villa at the Second Army Corps' base.

Although all the food was natural, compared to the delicious and flavorful dishes that Bai Mianmian and the others ate, both the vegetarian and meat dishes on her side seemed bland and tasteless.

Even with pretty fresh flowers adorning each dish, it didn't make the food on the table look any more appetizing.

However, Sun Yuxin, who was enjoying her meal, clearly held a different opinion from the people standing beside her who kept glancing at the table with longing in their eyes.

In the midst of this quiet atmosphere, someone hurriedly walked in from outside.

Almost everyone present looked over at the same time. Sun Yuxin also looked up at that direction with an arrogant expression, her eyes filled with anticipation for the start of a good show.

However, only one person came into her view, and that person was someone she had sent out.

The expectation in Sun Yuxin's eyes vanished instantly, and her cold gaze stared straight at the approaching person.

"Master Sun, I'm sorry, I didn't pick up the person." The person bowed his head and apologized with a look of fear.

Sun Yuxin questioned unhappily, "How could you not be able to pick her up? Didn't I tell you to wait for her at her doorstep?"

Is it possible that the person hasn't gone home yet at this late hour? What would they be doing back here?
"Yes, I've been waiting until now and haven't seen her. I... I heard from someone from the Second Legion that Bai Mianmian is having a meal in the Second Legion's mess hall, so I came back." The person lowered their head even further.

"Smash!" Upon hearing this, Sun Yuxin, her face dark with anger, slammed her chopsticks down onto the plate in front of her.

The others present were immediately frightened and lowered their heads, trying to minimize their presence.

Sun Yuxin's chest heaved violently with anger.

Her original plan was to have someone invite Bai Mianmian over for dinner, of course, to eat the leftovers from Bai Mianmian's meal.

However, even the leftovers she ate were not something everyone could get to eat, so Bai Mianmian should be content.

However, she had considered that it might be difficult to invite Bai Mianmian over. After all, judging from how the Second Legion had protected Bai Mianmian that morning, it would be quite difficult to get Bai Mianmian to come alone.

Unexpectedly, those who went there didn't even see anyone.

Sun Yuxin, growing angrier the more she thought about it, snapped, "Hmph! Ungrateful!"

"What's wrong? Who made my darling angry?" Just then, a male voice with an affectionate laugh rang out.

Upon hearing the sound, Sun Yuxin looked over with a delighted expression...
