Chapter 624 Another Heartbreaking Loss...

Second Army Corps mess hall.

Jiang Ci's gaze suddenly fell on the terminal screen floating in mid-air. After two seconds, he looked away and continued eating.

Zhuo Juntao, who was sitting at the table next to him, saw that he had seen the message but had not issued any relevant instructions, so he knew that there was no need to deal with the matter for the time being.

So Zhuo Juntao went to continue his meal as well.

While enjoying his meal and occasionally glancing at the mushrooms, Marshal Shi's gaze suddenly froze in mid-air, and then his brows furrowed in displeasure.

"Father, what's with that expression? Are you afraid to eat mantis shrimp or other insect-like creatures?"

Shi Sijin noticed that Marshal Shi's chopsticks were hovering over the stir-fried mantis shrimp with ginger and scallions, and when she turned her head, she saw that his brows were furrowed. She couldn't help but grin and guess.

If you really don't dare to eat mantis shrimp or insects, then he'll laugh at you.

On Marshal Shi's plate, all the other dishes showed signs of having been eaten, except for the stir-fried mantis shrimp with ginger and scallions, which showed no signs of being touched. No wonder Shi Sijin would have guessed that when she saw him frown.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mianmian and Jiang Ci, for reasons unknown, both looked up at Marshal Shi.

Suddenly being stared at by the three men, Marshal Shi paused for a moment, then looked at Shi Sijin beside him with a slightly cool gaze.

"..." Shi Sijin, who was about to laugh at her old father, paused for a moment, then silently stopped laughing and lowered her head to eat her rice.

Oh no, my father must have added another note to his mental record!
"A-Ci." Seeing that Shi Sijin had quieted down, Marshal Shi didn't say anything to him. Instead, he turned to Jiang Ci and asked, "Are you really planning to handle Master Sun's situation like this?"

As soon as he said this, Bai Mianmian's gaze turned to Jiang Ci.

"Mm," Jiang Ci replied calmly.

Marshal Shi stared at him for a while and said, "Alright, as long as you don't regret it."

"What is there to regret?" Shi Sijin couldn't help but interject, "With Sun Yuxin's purification ability, there are several purification ability users here who can do the same."

As if thinking of something, Shi Sijin nodded and said in a firm tone, "Even better than her. Not to mention with my sister-in-law here, even if Sun Yuxin runs away tonight, Aci won't regret it at all."

Upon hearing this, Marshal Shi glanced at the mushrooms on the tomatoes and then at Jiang Ci, whose face showed agreement. He then realized that what Shi Sijin said was true.

It seems that the Second Legion's purification ability users are much stronger than Jiang Ci reported.

However, this is not a big problem. After all, who doesn't have some hidden tricks up their sleeve?
Even he himself didn't dare to say that he had revealed all his cards without reservation.

Lost in thought, Marshal Shi subconsciously reached out with his chopsticks to pick up some food. Only after the food was brought to his mouth did he belatedly realize what he had picked up.
Mantis shrimp and insect meat!?
Marshal Shi's expression stiffened slightly.

Although this piece of mantis shrimp insect meat smelled delicious, Marshal Shi, who had eaten many insects with a fishy and smelly taste, didn't really like eating insects.

However, just as he paused slightly, the other three people at the table all turned to look at him.

Marshal Shi, who suddenly felt immense pressure: "..."

After a moment of silence, Marshal Shi regained his composure and calmly took a bite of the mantis shrimp insectoid. However, his composure quickly crumbled.

He had anticipated the bitter taste of the mantis shrimp insects, which were free of pollutants, since all the food he had eaten that night had a bitter taste free of pollutants.

However, the fishy smell that the mantis shrimp insects usually had was gone, which was something he hadn't expected.

He thought he couldn't smell the fishy stench of the mantis shrimp because the strong smell of ginger and scallions masked it, but he didn't expect that the fishy stench was actually gone.

"Father, how is it? Isn't it delicious?" Seeing Marshal Shi's delighted expression, Shi Sijin couldn't help but ask with a smile. "Yes, it's very good." This time, Marshal Shi didn't give Shi Sijin a cold look, but instead nodded in agreement.

Then, the last mantis shrimp on Shi Sijin's plate was gone.

Because Marshal Shi's chopsticks reached into his plate again and took away the remaining mantis shrimp insects.

Shi Sijin, who had once again lost out on delicious food: "..."

He shouldn't have spoken!

No one cared about Shi Sijin's regret, but Marshal Shi, who ate the delicious food he had lost, looked completely satisfied.

At this moment, he agreed with what Shi Sijin had said earlier; these foods were indeed a hundred times tastier than those in a top-tier hotel.

After dinner, the robot placed a plate of clean tomatoes on each table and instructed, "One for each person. No fighting or taking more than one."

Marshal Shi looked at the tomatoes in everyone's hands, but he couldn't help but glance at Bai Mianmian with a probing look.

Bai Mianmian ignored his gaze and waved her hand, causing the mushrooms on the tomato to disappear.

The number of cleaned tomatoes was enough for one per person in the Second Legion. As for the remaining uncleaned tomatoes, they were left for Lin Shiqing and his team to clean later.

"Uncle Shi, if there's nothing else, we'll head back now." Jiang Ci stood up, blocking Marshal Shi's probing gaze towards Bai Mianmian.

Those who wanted to see couldn't, so Marshal Shi could only look up at Jiang Ci. Seeing that he really didn't want to stay and talk to him, he said, "Okay, go ahead."

With Bai Mianmian around, it wasn't really appropriate for them to discuss other matters in detail, so they were told to go back first.

Having received permission, Jiang Ci nodded to Marshal Shi and then left with Bai Mianmian.

As Shi Sijin watched Jiang Ci and Bai Mianmian walk away, she suddenly changed her expression as if she had thought of something, and abruptly tried to stand up.

Just as his bottom left the chair, a hand suddenly appeared on his shoulder, and then the hand pressed down, and his bottom instantly sat back down on the chair.

Shi Sijin stiffly turned her head to look at Marshal Shi, then gave a stiff smile and called out, "Father..."

"It's been so long since we last met, it's time for us father and son to catch up, don't you think?" Marshal Shi looked at Shi Sijin with a kind smile.

"I...I..." Shi Sijin was speechless. He really wanted to refuse Marshal Shi's suggestion, but he knew that his refusal would be meaningless.

Marshal Shi held Shi Sijin down with one hand while smilingly asking Zhuo Juntao for a training room.

……

"What are you unhappy about?" Bai Mianmian tilted her head and looked at Jiang Ci beside her in confusion.

Although he wasn't usually a talkative person, his aura was much lower than usual tonight, making it hard for her to pretend she didn't notice.

Jiang Ci paused for a moment, looked at Bai Mianmian who seemed to be in a good mood, pursed his lips, and said, "Are you... happy today?"

"?" Bai Mianmian was momentarily stunned by his question. Why was he suddenly asking her this question?

"I'm so happy." Bai Mianmian smiled and shook her hand, which was intertwined with his, after she came back to her senses.

Although she encountered people blocking her way when she went out today, the Second Legion helped her fight them off. In the end, he even accompanied her to play in the forest and picked a lot of tomatoes. They also just ate a lot of delicious food together. It was a pretty fulfilling day.
