under the tower

Ji Xi was stunned: "Huh?"

"Do as I say, and don't ask anything else." He lowered his face, exuding an aura of refusal from others thousands of miles away.

He seems to have erected a barrier suddenly, entered a state of high vigilance, and at the same time isolated everyone from this strong barrier, including Ji Xi.

Ji Xi frowned slightly, feeling unhappy in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

Don't say this, don't let me ask, how many times has it been, what do you want me to do?

But he just said these words in his heart, he didn't intend to quarrel with Yan Yi, that would be too ugly.

So he just raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "Then what's my name?"

"up to you."

"Okay." Ji Xi smiled and said, he thought for a few seconds, "Then call you Ji Yi."

Yan paused for a moment, there was no unnecessary expression on his face, just a simple "hmm".

Ji Xi originally just wanted to tease him a little to vent his anger, but he didn't expect Yan Yi to agree so easily without even resisting.

Instead, Ji Xi was stunned.

"Ji Yi." For some unknown reason, he called softly.

"En." Yan Yi responded, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Ji Xi mumbled, "I'll help you get acquainted with the new title."

"Ah."

"...Ji Yi."

Ji Xi shouted again.

Finally, there was a little reaction on Yan Yi's face, he turned his head to look at Ji Xi, his eyes were asking questions.

"You're like this..." Ji Xi stared at him without blinking, opened and closed her small mouth, and said softly, "Like my brother."

"You have a brother?"

Ji Xi shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I'm the only one in my family."

He raised his eyes and looked at Yan Yi with sparkling eyes, but his tone was full of sadness and melancholy.

"If only you were really my brother."

He whispered—

"...then I'll have one more family."

Ji Xi closed her eyes, looking lonely.

However, he didn't notice that Yan Yi's body froze suddenly because of these words.

About half an hour later, the door was opened again.

It was still the person who brought them in. This time, he was still pulling a silver hook with no expression on his face. The hook was pulling a young man in his twenties. Very eye-catching, like an egg about to explode.

Ji Xi only had this weird metaphor in his mind at the first moment.

He didn't understand why a good egg exploded, but that's how he figured it out.

"Yo." The man was handcuffed on the other side of the bed, Ji Xi and Yan Yi on the punching bed raised their eyebrows flirtatiously, and said casually, "Brothers, it's early?"

Ji Xi saw that he also had a serial number on his chest, which said 80.

"My name is Qu Chenyuan." The man said, he sat down on the bed in a very familiar way, looking very relaxed, without the tension of being suddenly tied to a strange place, as if he was on vacation.

"Lu Xi." Ji Xi leaned against Yan Yi as if he had no bones, with a sleepy expression, "He is my bodyguard, his name is Ji Yi."

"Oh, you can, little brother, and you have your own bodyguards." Qu Chenyuan praised exaggeratedly, with a sour tone, "Sure enough, your Lu family is rich. Look at this style. You have been in Mingyue all these years. Has the district made a lot of money?"

Ji Xi neither admitted nor denied: "Have you been there?"

"Cough!" Qu Chenyuan immediately put on a startled look, winked at Ji Xi and said, "I really want to go, but my family won't let me..."

Ji Xi smiled: "It's nothing fun."

He added in his heart that if he went there, he would be slaughtered by that bastard Lu Mingxiu.

Qu Chenyuan showed regret on his face, and his tone was regretful: "Hey, it is rumored that when Lu Mingyue was young, she was unparalleled in beauty and was known as the Lord of Fengyue. I really want to see and see how charming the people he trained are. Thousands of..."

Ji Xi paused for a moment, thinking, are you reading poetry?

He replied with a complex expression: "You sound very yearning."

"That's right." Qu Chenyuan said in embarrassment, "Now that Lu Mingyue has become famous, he will no longer appear in front of people, but his son Lu Mingxiu has done his best, if he also comes this time, then I will die without regret. "

Suddenly, Ji Xi's spiritual orifices tightened, as if lightning flashed across his mind.

He suddenly had a bad premonition.

Since Ji Xi returned to the base this time, Lu Mingxiu has not contacted him so far, as if he had evaporated directly from the world.

Ji Xi asked cautiously: "...what is this place?"

Qu Chenyuan looked like you're out of your mind: "It's the base."

Ji Xi asked with a headache: "I know it's a base, but is this the territory of the army?"

Qu Chenyuan nodded: "Yes."

Ji Xi: "..."

Qu Chenyuan looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand Ji Xi's meaning at all.

Ji Xi suddenly felt a sense of collapse that was almost like a chicken talking to a duck.

He took a deep breath and tried his best to communicate with him: "Then, what are you doing here? You were also arrested by them, right?"

"... Oh." Qu Chenyuan suddenly realized, "You ask this. Don't you know?"

Ji Xi: "...I don't know."

Qu Chenyuan looked at Ji Xi with shocked eyes: "Isn't it? Didn't you read the manual before signing up?"

Ji Xi:?

"What? What manual?"

"Wait." Qu Chenyuan was handcuffed, shaking out a booklet from his trouser pocket like a jumping grasshopper.

He nimbly picked up the booklet from the ground with his two feet, stretched his legs and handed it to Ji Xi and Yan Yi who were facing him.

"Here."

Ji Xi took it with a speechless face, only to see a few large characters written on the booklet——

"Schools of Excellence" program guidebook.

It is said to be a "manual", but there is actually very little content in it, because the printed font is very large, and the really useful information in it is less than one page.

Ji Xizai carefully browsed through the entire manual without missing a single detail. After reading it, there was only one thought left in his mind.

Damn Chang Huai, can't you make it clear in advance?

Didn't even notify him, just rush the ducks to the shelves and sign up for him?

Whether he is willing to come or not, we can talk about it.

In this regard, Chang Huai, who does not know where he is, said that his reasons are quite sufficient.

Ji Xi was not at the base before the May [-] deadline, so even if he wanted to ask, there was nowhere to find him.

——It's better to send him up first, anyway, Ji Xi doesn't look like someone, so he can cut him down with a knife.

Ji Xi's belly was full of evil fire, and he almost tore up the manual directly.

"Oh, take it easy, don't wrinkle my brochure." Qu Chenyuan said with a distressed face, "Not all young people who are of the right age and have not reached the military rank can receive this brochure! There is only one place in my family. It was my uncle who did everything possible to delay the relationship in the army to get it. Your Lu family must not have this trouble. I still hope to take this book back as a souvenir, and when I get old, I can show it off to my grandchildren. Woolen cloth."

Ji Xi closed the manual, and said coolly: "You think a lot."

"That's not true." Qu Chenyuan patted his chest proudly, the messy red hair on the top of his head was like a bird's nest on fire, "Although our Qu family is incomparable to your Lu family who has occupied the entire Mingyue District, we are still at the base I can be regarded as a wealthy party here, and I don’t have to worry about food and drink. Is there no one who can inherit my ten thousand wealth? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of the opportunity to enjoy it.”

Ji Xi smiled and said casually: "It makes sense."

"Really?" Qu Chenyuan said, "Hey, how old are you this year, you look so tender."

"Twenty, what's the matter?"

"Oh, then I'm three years older than you." Qu Chenyuan said, "Your family didn't arrange a fiancée for you?"

Ji Xi froze for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Yan Yi, but saw that the man's face was still expressionless, like a cloud of cold water, as if he was unmoved by anything in their conversation.

"...Yes." He said with some embarrassment, "It happened a long time ago, and I don't really remember it."

"What's the matter with you?" Qu Chenyuan said with a smile, "You don't even remember your wife's name, do you?"

His expression seemed to indicate that he very much hoped to hear an affirmative answer from Ji Xi——

Like, "Yes, I did forget," and that would probably be comical indeed. .

However, Ji Xi paused, and still disappointed him: "...that's not the case."

He glanced at Yan Yi again, the man's eyes briefly met his and then moved away.

That unreasonable feeling of irritability came back again.

What he actually wanted to say was that if he could still have a little freedom to choose the marriage partner to spend his life with according to his own mind after returning home, he would definitely say Yanyi's name without hesitation.

But the education he received since he was a child also clearly told him that he did not have the qualifications.

"Then you are getting married soon?" Qu Chenyuan said again.
