Girls und War

"So one day, accompanied by my robot, I discovered this cave. Just think about it, a secret base that belongs to me alone, unknown to everyone else - how interesting!

"At the time, I didn't tell anyone, and I even asked the robot not to tell Mom and Dad. I even thought this little secret would be treasured forever, marking the beginning of my conquest of the stars and the sea."

Xia Shu smiled immediately after hearing this.

"Don't laugh, I was serious back then." Jia also laughed and pointed at the little robot at the door. "I even let my favorite 'little soldier' ​​help me stand guard here every day!"

"What happened next?" Xia Shu asked with a smile.

"Later, I still came here often to play. And every time I came out, Mom and Dad never asked me where I had been." Jia said, an expression of indignation gradually appearing on his face. "But a child's secret is not a secret at all. Look at the decorations in here, aren't they all man-made?"

"These things were not brought by you!" Xia Shu suddenly realized.

"No, they were already here." Jia pointed to the various stone facilities in the cave. "Look at these tables, chairs, beds, and so on. Aren't they all carved by my father? I later found out that they designed this cave specifically for me."

At this point, she hesitated, then pointed to a wooden sign nailed crookedly to the wall and said, "But I made this myself."

Xia Shu looked at it and saw a few large characters written in a child's handwriting on the wooden sign - "Secret Base"

.

She burst out laughing.

"Don't laugh!" Jia was so angry that he couldn't help laughing.

The two of them laughed and joked for a while. Xia Shu thought about all the things Jia's father and mother had made for her and couldn't help but sigh, "They really put a lot of effort into it."

"Yeah." Jiaye sighed helplessly and said, "When I first learned this, I felt humiliated. But then I gradually realized that they really did a lot for me."

"Because you've grown up." Xia Shu said.

"Yeah! Yes! I've grown up!" Jialu immediately smiled brightly when she heard Xia Shu's praise.

After sitting here for a while, I seemed a little bored again.

Jia prepared to take Xia Shu to other places for a walk.

They walked out of the cave, and Jia said to the little robot again, "Stand guard!"

Upon hearing this, the little robot immediately saluted Jia, then returned to the corner and entered sleep mode again.

After they left the hill, they followed the road on the island towards a tall white building.

While observing the other houses nestled in the mountains, Natsuki asked Jia, "How many residents are there on this island?"

"Residents?" Jia showed a puzzled expression and replied to Xia Shu, "Of course we are the only family here."

"Huh? Are you the only ones here?" Xia Shu was a little surprised.

"correct."

"So those buildings aren't for people to live in?"

"No, those are the works of some artists in the construction industry who came to the island to practice." Jia explained to Xia Shu.

"So, this island... belongs only to you?"

"If you ask that..." Jia thought for a moment and gave a positive answer.

"Yes, this island should be ours."

Shocked Natsuki.

I originally thought that the villa was Jia's residence, but I didn't expect that the entire island was her backyard.

Is this the real daughter of a wealthy family?

Afterwards, Jia took Xia Shu to visit the various buildings on the island.

It is indeed very unique and full of various artistic atmospheres.

Later on, Natsuki didn't even recognize the buildings anymore.

The two of them spent most of the day wandering around the island, exploring the entire island.

It was almost dinner time when they returned to their residence.

After returning to the house, Xia Shu and Jia did not see Jia's parents, and the robot butler did not respond when they asked.

I don't know what they are doing at this time.

But after a while, Xia Shu vaguely noticed strange noises coming from the master bedroom upstairs.

It was still the same familiar Acura as last night.

She looked at Jia, who should have noticed it as well.

"Oh - really!" Jia blushed, covered her forehead with her hands, and ran out of the door pulling Xia Shu.

She never imagined that this mysterious couple would engage in sexual intercourse in broad daylight when she and her friends were nearby.

The two of them wandered around outside for a few more hours, and only went back in when it was dark.

Now the scientist and artist couple finally sat in the living room.

The middle-aged, depressed, and weak-kneed artist looked increasingly listless, while the mother, with an increasingly radiant expression, said, "Why did you come back so late? Dinner is ready."

Jia showed a complicated expression, as if saying, why did I come back just now? Don’t you know the reason?

The mother smiled awkwardly, greeted the two of them, and pulled Jia's father towards the dining table.

The dinner was still sumptuous, and the mother gave the artist an extra meal.

It seems that the two will have another fight tonight.

This made Jia begin to doubt whether it was right for him to come back this time.

Or maybe there is something wrong with this couple of parents.

Is it true that he said he missed his daughter, but in fact he was just looking for an excuse to take leave?

As for Xia Shu, after getting used to the constant awkward atmosphere, he gradually began to look at Jia's father with admiration.

As someone who understands men—or even someone who has lived two lives as a man—she (he) knows exactly what kind of pain (joy) this middle-aged, decadent, introverted, and weak-kneed artist is going through.

If you do something for a long time, you will feel bored.

Not to mention that this matter will drain most of a person's energy.

Another sleepless night.

447. Hot woman, she is back again

After all, Xia Shu and Jia didn't stay on her family's island for many days.

Having nothing to do is one thing, and the unbearable noise of couples showing their affection is another.

So Jia and Xia Shu discussed and decided to go directly back to the camp on the third day after returning home.

"Eh? So sudden?" Mother placed breakfast in front of the two of them, her expression slightly surprised.

"What else?" Jia was speechless. "Listen to you guys partying at home every night?"

Upon hearing this, Jia's mother smiled a little embarrassedly and did not respond.

However, after hearing what they said, Jia's father took out a small black sculpture from his pocket and placed it in front of Xia Shu.

"This... is for you." Jia's father said slowly, and it seemed that he was still not good at expressing himself.

"Is it for me? Thank you..." Xia Shu took the small handicraft in his hand and looked at it with some surprise.

It was a half-human figure carved from a black stone. No one knew what the material was, maybe obsidian or something else.

Judging from the tiny impurities inside the stone, it is probably a completely natural mineral.

The sculpture is not very large, and can be held in one hand. Its shape is also very strange, somewhat like the moai of Easter Island.

Xia Shu looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was, so he asked, "What is this sculpture?"

"It's you." The middle-aged, decadent, autistic, and weak-kneed artist replied vaguely, "Thank you very much... for becoming friends with Jiaer..."

Xia Shu quickly responded with a "Of course, of course," and then held the sculpture in his hands and examined it carefully.

It's so abstract, with those eyebrows and eyes, that shape. If I hadn't told her, she would have thought it was an alien.

However, the gem products carved by hand, one knife and one chisel at a time, have a unique and simple aesthetic. At first glance, the knife work is very rough and the techniques used are extremely primitive.

However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that every moment and every stroke was precise to the extreme, without any unnecessary force.

This rough carving art is completely different from the exquisite handicrafts produced in factories. Instead, it is full of a kind of simple and primitive beauty.

The longer I looked at it, the more I discovered Xia Shu's personal characteristics were reflected in it.

This portrait carving technique seems to be able to bring out the inner personality of the character.

It is a minimalist aesthetic that even photos and videos cannot reveal.

The more Xia Shu looked at it, the more he felt that this handicraft was extraordinary, and he quickly said "thank you" to Jia's father again.

Father Jia gave a simple smile, scratched the back of his head, and couldn't find any good words to reply.

Jia supported her cheek with her hands and looked at Xia Shu without blinking.

Seeing Natsuki smile, she also smiled.

Then she turned to her father and asked, "What about mine?"

The daughter understands her father well. She knows that it is impossible to make only one carved plaque at a time without considering all the other.

Father Jia looked at his daughter a little embarrassedly and said, "Still carving... I didn't expect you to leave so soon..."

"It's okay, just send it to the camp after you finish carving it. Dad is the best!" Jia immediately showed a bright smile.

After they had breakfast, Jia's father and mother personally drove them to the high-speed train station two hundred kilometers away.

The driver was Jia's father. He was very skilled at driving, and it seemed that he often practiced with this old car.

Afterwards, the two girls boarded the train to the camp under their parents' sad and expectant gazes.

Back at the camp, life on rotation continues as usual.

There were still a few days left until the sergeant exam, and Xia Shu had nothing to do for the time being.

The other girls in the squadron also went on vacation, and there were few people in the camp for a while.

Only Zhan Jian seemed to feel some kind of pressure and began to engage in self-improvement training wholeheartedly.

And his consultation with Xia Shu became more frequent.

Xia Shu was happy to teach and answer questions from Zhan Jian.

After gradually raising the psychological status of several of his fellow recruits, Xia Shu seemed to pay more attention to these girls.

It’s a pity that Juncus, Nyanya, and Ning are not here.

Rush went to the Genetic Research Institute and was busy undergoing a full-body examination.

As for Nyanya and Ning, needless to say, this cat and homebody are of course busy traveling around the world.

After all, the Red Dragon Squadron had just experienced a great battle. If they didn't go on a spontaneous trip at this time, wouldn't that be self-torture?

As for Xia Shu and the others, Nyanya and Ning had long been accustomed to this kind of ascetic life.

Even if Xia Shu stopped practicing hard one day, they would start to suspect that there was something wrong with his brain.

Now that we're talking about this, let's talk about the current situation of the remaining girls in Class A, Row 3.

Ai'er, Miyu and two members of the large group still stayed in the regular troops and did not move.

They have been working very hard recently and have each joined some training teams.

But the growth in strength does not happen overnight.

They also took the opportunity to take the non-commissioned officer assessment, but as expected, none of them passed.

Only at this moment did they truly feel how big the gap was between Xia Shu and them.

It cannot be explained by just the gap between a soldier and a non-commissioned officer.

Just ask casually, among any non-commissioned officers in any war zone, the number of those who can pass the non-commissioned officer assessment in one go definitely does not exceed 5%.

Less than 1% of them passed the non-commissioned officer assessment in the year they joined the army.

It can be said that the corporal Xia Shu is more valuable than most non-commissioned officers.
