Chapter 277: 2077 Correspondence

Seeing Ou Lianlian and her entourage finally leave “Youwei,” Xia Chuyi dropped her previously arrogant and aggressive expression and returned to normal.

“Brother, thank you.” She sincerely said to Xia Chengzong.

“It’s all in the family, what’s there to thank for?” Xia Chengzong shook his head and said, “But, Chuyi, that Ou Lianlian, could she really…”

“Could that Ou Lianlian really be Huo Commander’s childhood sweetheart?” Xia Chengzong hesitated a moment before finally voicing his thought.

Xia Chuyi shook her head and answered, “No, Huo Shiqian is not that kind of person.”

“If he really had such a ‘special childhood sweetheart’ by his side, he definitely wouldn’t have gotten involved with me.”

On this point, she still had complete trust in Huo Shiqian.

Hearing her so certain in defending Huo Shiqian, Xia Chengzong suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Brother… I didn’t mean to doubt him…”

Xia Chuyi burst into a smile upon hearing this and said to him, “Brother, don’t worry, I understand. You’re just looking out for me.”

Xia Chengzong rubbed his head and said, “Well, as long as you know what you’re doing.”

After saying that, he went back to work.

Once Xia Chengzong left, Xia Chuyi’s expression was completely normal as she also continued with her tidying.

In the evening, after preparing the materials for the following day, Xia Chuyi and Xia Chengzong each returned to their rooms to rest.

As soon as Xia Chuyi entered her room, she slipped into her space, took out a sheet of letter paper, set it up, and began writing a letter.

“Comrade Huo Shiqian, greetings upon reading this letter.

I have an interesting story to tell you. Today, a comrade woman by the name of Ou Lianlian came by—just a note, she’s delicate as water, stunningly beautiful.

This comrade woman came to ‘Youwei,’ saying you had recommended her to come buy some braised food.

Since the braised food was sold out, Comrade Woman Ou Lianlian struck up a conversation with me about family.

Comrade Woman Ou Lianlian said: she’s your childhood sweetheart.

Comrade Woman Ou Lianlian also said: she is the daughter-in-law your parents approve of.

Comrade Woman Ou Lianlian further said: that I am shameless, trying to climb above my station, not worthy of you.

Comrade Woman Ou Lianlian finally said: that you will abandon me!

On this matter, Comrade Huo Shiqian, may I ask your opinion?

X year X month X day

Xia Chuyi.”

After writing, she put down her pen.

Only then did Xia Chuyi feel a release of the stuffiness in her chest.

Time to call it a day and go to sleep!

The next day, the letter was put into an envelope, stamped, and mailed off to the Southwest.

A few days later, at a unit in the Southwest, Huo Shiqian received a letter.

At the doorway, Li Zi and the rest of the brothers stood peeking, providing a live commentary.

“The Commander received a letter from the little sister-in-law and couldn’t help showing a tender smile!”

“The Commander joyfully opened the letter.”

“The Commander read the letter with delight!”

“The Commander… has a dark expression???”

The brothers were stricken with fear.

What did the little sister-in-law write???

“Snap!” A steel pen suddenly whizzed by, sticking in the door, scaring everyone at the doorway into falling to the ground.

“Ouch, wow!”

“Peeking is an invasion of privacy. All personnel, load-carrying cross-country for ten kilometers, without bringing rations, and figure out your own dinner in the field.” Huo Shiqian was heard saying coldly from inside the room.

When the Emperor is angry, a million corpses lie strewn.

The men looked as if they were about to cry.

Could it be that the little sister-in-law is going to abandon the Commander?

Please, no!

They had just started living a more civilized life for a few days and didn’t want to return to hell!

Inside the room, the anger on Huo Shiqian’s body visibly radiated outward.

Xiao Wang, who had come to deliver the letter and hadn’t left yet, tried his best to hold his breath and lower his presence.

Huo Shiqian, frowning, took out a piece of letter paper and quickly wrote a response.

“Xiao Wang, mail this to the Huo Family in the Capital City.”

“Yes, Commander!”
