Chapter 254 Retaining People Through the Cook

Commander Cheng blatantly began trying to keep people here. Before Shi Xia could refuse and get up, he changed the subject, saying, "Let's eat first."

Shi Xia turned her head slightly and looked at the empty lunchbox next to her.

Commander Cheng chuckled, not embarrassed at all, and said, "Will we be full?"

Shi Xia blinked.

Even though you're saying I can eat a lot, I'm actually not full.

Commander Cheng knew Shi Xia somewhat, and said, "We have a chef here. His family used to cater banquets for weddings and funerals when he was a child. He learned cooking skills from your family from a young age. He makes that braised pork slices..."

Before Commander Cheng could even utter a word of adjective, Shi Xia gave in.

"Let's eat first!"

"it is good!"

Commander Cheng took Shi Xia out to eat first. It seemed that he wasn't the one who liked airplanes just now, and he wasn't in a hurry to watch them now.

Summer also changed into dry and warm clothes, wearing a thick cotton-padded coat and a military overcoat, and the canteen's small kitchen was turned on.

After a meal, enjoy frozen pears as a dessert, and also make some sweet pear water to moisturize the lungs and relieve dryness.

Sitting around the stove, the north wind howled outside, but the room was warm and cozy enough to make you want to sleep. The fire crackled and popped, and peanuts were roasting on the stove, occasionally making a popping sound.

This environment, unlike the seaside, is exceptionally peaceful.

Shi Xia was arranged to stay in a small courtyard by Commander Cheng, which was definitely a special treatment. However, when the senior military leaders came to see Shi Xia, everyone's discussion stopped.

Who is this girl?
That evening, Shi Xia went out.

When they returned, the plane that had been sent there had already landed on a nearby island, and Commander Cheng had already led his men to guard it.

The next morning, Commander Cheng returned and insisted on taking Shi Xia for a stroll.

Commander Cheng drove the military jeep himself, with his wife, whom Xia knew, and a bodyguard in the car. The four of them drove off.

The scenery in the north is truly unique.

Rugged and bold.

Magnificent and vast.

Commander Cheng led Shi Xia across the plains, which stretched as far as the eye could see, now covered in white snow. The vastness of the ice-covered plains and the snow-covered landscape broadened one's mind.

"Shall I take you hiking?"

"it is good."

Shi Xia's physical training was so impressive that she wasn't afraid of the whole group, let alone climbing mountains.

The four of them drove along and stopped at a state-run restaurant, where they ate a local specialty, iron pot stew.

Shi Xia ate with gusto; it was truly delicious and quite different from the stir-fries of the South.

In the afternoon, the four of them started climbing the mountain.

Shi Xia walked at the front, and the guards who came with her kept reminding her not to rush and that it would be better to go up the mountain at a steady pace.

"I am slowing down now."

Only Commander Cheng was familiar with Shi Xia's bluntness and harshness; the guards remained skeptical.

Commander Cheng walked up from behind and said, "What she said is true."

"You'll know in a minute."

The group continued climbing. The most tired was Sister-in-law Cheng, who had been dragged over by Commander Cheng just to keep Shi Xia company.

Shi Xia, who was walking at the front, suddenly turned back and squatted down in front of Sister Cheng.

"Come up."

"No way! I weigh 120 or 130 pounds, that won't do!"

Shi Xia persisted, took a half step back, grabbed Cheng's sister-in-law's hind legs, stood up, and carried her on her back.

"Don't move, or we'll both fall."

"Also, carrying you is not heavy at all. I can even carry my own giant sea turtle. It's no problem to walk several miles."

"Don't pull, just lie on my back, otherwise we'll both get tired."

As Shi Xia spoke, Sister Cheng had no choice but to relax little by little, but she still said, "I can walk, you can put me down in a little while."

"Let's talk again."

Sister-in-law Cheng could only look at Commander Cheng behind her.

Commander Cheng stepped forward and said, "It's alright, she really can carry it."

“But Shi Xia, your sister-in-law must be feeling unwell. I’ll carry her on my back in a bit.”

Shi Xia continued walking, giving Commander Cheng a deep look.

"you?"

"Forget it." She left.

Regiment Commander Cheng stood at the back, gritting his teeth.

"What does she mean?"

"Reporting to the commander, I think Comrade Shi Xia is saying that you are not good enough."

"Get lost! You're no good at this!"

Commander Cheng kicked out, and the guard was already hopping forward with a grin.

After catching a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, Shi Xia suddenly felt like playing with it.

"Sister-in-law, hold on tight, let's have a race!"

"What?"

The next second, Sister-in-law Cheng was pulled along by inertia and grabbed Shi Xia's neck. Shi Xia and the guards who ran over started a race up the mountain.

The more the other person ran, the more alarmed he became; he simply couldn't overtake him.

"Comrade Shi Xia, slow down. Let's stop competing. I've already lost."

The guards were worried that Shi Xia wouldn't be able to handle the physical strain after running up, but Shi Xia turned around and smiled: "It's a piece of cake! You can do it."

She continued.

Who can bear this?
Other people can run away carrying someone on their backs, so why can't he, a grown man, run away?

Fight!

Commander Cheng, at the very back, watched helplessly as the two ahead of him ran faster and faster, while his wife grinned from ear to ear, her eyes filled with envy...

"Just to prove I'm no good, you two are really inhuman!"

"How old am I?"

"Can you two wait for me a bit?"

As it turns out, no.

Shi Xia was the first to reach the summit, and put Cheng's wife down without even breaking a sweat.

Even after landing, Sister-in-law Cheng's heart was still pounding.

"Shi Xia, you!"

Shi Xia smiled brightly, looked at the guards slowly coming up the mountain, checked the time, and said, "Not bad."

"Thank you."

The other person was struggling to breathe, leaning against a tree, and looked as if he wanted to stick out his tongue.

Commander Cheng arrived late and was met with a barrage of complaints from his wife.

"Why are you looking down on me? I'm not Shi Xia!"

The four people enjoyed the scenery from the mountaintop, where they could see far and wide.

Looking out from here, everyone feels both insignificant and immense.

After spending forty minutes on the mountaintop, the group began their descent.

This time, Sister-in-law Cheng refused to let Shi Xia carry her, and instead found a stick and walked down the path herself, little by little.

Over the next few days, Director Cheng acted entirely as a tour guide, eating, drinking, and playing everywhere.

During this time, Shi Xia contacted Chief Wei and asked for Captain Luo's contact information.

"Shi Xia, are you looking for Lao Luo?"

"He's sending it to the airport. He asked me for it a while ago."

A long silence followed on the phone.

"He gave it to you when he asked for it?"

"Or else?"

Chief Wei's feelings at this moment were beyond words.

"Shi Xia, I want one too!"

"Huh? Why didn't you say so earlier? I brought back three planes. Two were ordered by Captain Luo, and the other was given to Regiment Commander Cheng."

Chief Wei was even more troubled.

"What, is this about Lao Cheng again?"

"We just happened to run into each other. Besides, Commander Cheng has been taking me out for all sorts of delicious food and fun activities these past few days. It's only fair to return the favor."

Shi Xia's words were simple, but Chief Wei's sense of crisis suddenly increased.

You, Commander Cheng, are trying to steal our people the moment you step outside?!
