"Hey, this is heaven-shattering, people are freezing to death!"

The young man was wearing a military uniform with his legs crossed, surrounded by the brazier, and put his hands to his mouth to keep warm and asked, "Hey, where is Major Ji? Are you still training?"

The thick snow was blown away by the wind, fluffed up wantonly, and slipped into the window.

With a snap, the window was closed, fastened, and locked.

The person who closed the window replied: "Probably. After all, he has just graduated and is in charge of such a big errand, so the pressure must be very high."

"It's hard work." Another man wearing a hat praised repeatedly, "This is a snowy day, Brother Ji is too capable."

The person next to him answered: "Isn't he always like this? Otherwise, why would he have a higher title than us?"

Everyone was talking and laughing, and by the brazier, a boy in normal clothes suddenly stood up and walked out, "Keep warming, I'll go out and see him."

The person who spoke was named Wen Shaoqi, whose family owned a bank.Although he is only twenty years old, he is a native of Bocheng, like Bai Xiaosheng, he can tell a thing or two no matter whether it is business and politics or gossip.

"What's so interesting? There's a lot of pressure, and additional training is normal." The person who closed the window also stood up, trying to pull him back, "Are you afraid that Brother Ji won't be able to stand up?"

Wen Shaoqi's delicate face wrinkled, and he said worriedly: "I'm not afraid that Wei Zhi won't be able to stand it, but I'm afraid that he will be in a bad mood and hold back."

He has been classmates with Ji Weizhi for many years, and they are also roommates, so they are closer to each other in terms of address.

Someone was curious: "Is the major unhappy today? Why?"

Wen Shaoqi looked out the window: "I don't know, I guess... it's because Sheng Sui is back."

"Sheng Sui? You mean the second master on Si Street?" The name was so loud that everyone temporarily forgot about the life and death of their own major, and instead cared about outsiders.

Everyone, take a look at me and say:

"The second master has returned home?"

"Come back to take over the family business?"

"Good guy, isn't that going to change again!"

The reason for saying "again" is that in order to help his father become director Hua in the concession, Sheng Sui forcefully forced away the former director surnamed Xu. It is said that the method was very cruel.

Back then, under Sheng Sui's operation, the well-known director Xu was suddenly exposed to scandals such as corruption, bribery, prostitution, etc., and finally caused his family to be ruined and died in depression.

Now that Mr. Sheng's health is deteriorating, it's no wonder that others think too much about Sheng Sui's return to China at this juncture.

"No, what does the unchanging nature have to do with our Brother Ji?" A clever person finally came to his senses and turned back.

Wen Shaoqi squinted at a group of people who didn't know where he was, and reminded: "It's a big deal. From now on, you don't mention this name in front of Wei Zhi. Remember?"

"why?"

"Did they have a holiday?"

Wen Shaoqi sighed and stopped talking when he heard the brothers asking in a hurry: "It's more than just a festival..."

Everyone is not willing to give up, and they are still chasing after him.

Wen Shaoqi had no choice but to sit back and explain the past in a few words: "Weizhi lost his mother and father since he was a child, and he has been taken in by others. You know that?"

"I know." There are many people with twists and turns, and no one finds it embarrassing, so talking about these things is not taboo at all.

Wen Shaoqi went on to say: "I also heard from Weizhi later that this 'family' is the Sheng family."

"Ah?!" The entire group was shocked.

When Wen Shaoqi first found out about this, his expression was more exciting than that of these brothers, so he ignored everyone's astonishment and continued: "At that time, Sheng Sui was still an excellent student of our Bocheng Military Academy. Another hospital. After the accident happened in our major’s house, the second master somehow took him in, sent him to school and taught him skills—it can be said that this second master used to be the only friend Wei Zhi knew.

"Wei Zhi's house was burnt out, so he is very sensitive to the sound of gunfire. But because the second master is a military student, he has been forcing himself to overcome his fear. Just when he finally came out of the shadows, he decided to take the second master's school and follow him. When following suit," Wen Shaoqi paused, "Sheng Sui retired from the army."

The room suddenly fell silent.

In just a few sentences, the amount of information is not small.

Everyone didn't know whether to express surprise at "the profiteer turned out to be a senior brother", or express anger at "Ji Weizhi was abandoned".

Following the instinctive sensitivity of soldiers, they cursed, "What the hell? Sheng Sui became a deserter?"

"It shouldn't be so..." Wen Shaoqi corrected, "Is it obvious that he was discharged from the army due to injury?"

"But pull it down, he's alive and kicking all day long, what kind of injury could he have? It's because he's afraid!" A group of vigorous young people can bear anything, but they can't bear the loss of blood in their robes.

"Oh, listen to me!" Wen Shaoqi drank his saliva, returned to the topic, and said through gritted teeth, "This second master not only retired from the army, but also went to country X, and immediately cut off contact with Weizhi! He even threw Weizhi on the pier to freeze a whole night!"

"Wang Bajiaozi!"

"Give him a discount on his legs!"

The story literally set the house on fire.The big guys wanted to fuck this and that one after another, and all kinds of ugly words came out.

Unable to control it, Wen Shaoqi was so anxious that he told them to keep their voices down.

Just as they were making noise, there was a sudden noise at the door.

Wen Shaoqi was the first to stand up, making a military posture on the ground, and greeted the person loudly: "Weizhi is here."

Others also stopped their voices and hurriedly saluted:

"Major Ji."

"Brother Ji."

The visitors nodded in response one by one, bringing in the cold air outside the house and bringing the atmosphere inside the house back to normal.

Although his military rank is slightly higher, Ji Weizhi, who is in his early twenties, has no estrangement from this group of people.On the contrary, most of the time they are pretty average.

Today is clearly an exception.

Ji Weizhi patted the snow on the brim of his hat, put his gloves on the fire grill to roast, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Who did you just say is back?"

A group of people fell silent and looked at Wen Shaoqi in unison.Young Master Wen is acquainted with Ji Wei, so as long as there is something that offends the leader, everyone will push him out to block it.

"..." Wen Shaoqi scolded his mother in his heart, and had to force a smile on his face, "That, Sheng, Sheng Sui."

Ji Weizhi's eyebrows twitched, and he frowned shortly: "Where did you know?"

"My father said it. Yesterday Sheng Sui went to my bank to withdraw money. It was quite a lot of money."

Ji Weizhi subconsciously asked, "What is he doing with so much money?"

Seeing his gloomy face, Wen Shaoqi thought about the active atmosphere, and smiled heartlessly: "I don't know, maybe I'm going to go bankrupt? Haha."

This joke not only did not ease the embarrassment, but made the air more dignified.

The corners of Ji Weizhi's mouth twitched, and before he had time to warm his hands, he got up and prepared to leave.

Wen Shaoqi thought that he was going to continue training, and stopped him: "Are you practicing again? Take it easy, it's easy to get injured if the intensity is too high."

"No, I'll go to Si Street." Although Ji Weizhi didn't believe in nonsense such as "bankruptcy", he couldn't help worrying and blurted out.

The Sheng family's house is on Si Street.

Everyone looked at him in unison, with complicated eyes.

Ji Wei added knowingly: "...I'm just going to buy some pastries."

Wen Shaoqi said "Oh~" pretending to be enlightened, thinking of who lived on that road, and kindly reminded: "You have to take it easy—"

Ji Weizhi opened the door, and heard a cool voice from behind him:

"We will be punished for fighting."

Ji Weizhi was so annoyed that he licked his itchy molars, wishing he could give Wen Shaoqi a hard chestnut on his head.But he didn't do anything in the end, he just pressed the scarf and walked out.

The tea party is much more free when the parties are away.A group of people hurriedly formed a circle again, and you said to each other:

"Hey, did you see the major's expression just now?"

"I see, his face is as dark as if the second master owed him three hundred acres of land.

"He has never given me such a hard fuck."

Wen Shaoqi supported his forehead, clasped his hands together and made a petition: "You can keep your voice down."

No one paid attention to Wen Shaoqi at all, instead they talked more and more vigorously: "Actually, I have never liked the second master. When he forced Director Xu away, I felt very cruel!"

Most of you here have heard of this, and they all nodded and said: "Hey, I remember when you said that! Mr. Xu was also a famous big shot back then, but he was ruined by the second master and his wife and children were separated. That's a tragedy... ..."

"That's right, it's too much to kill! There is no such ruthless hand that can't be dealt with in ten years of blood feud."

"At first, I was disgusted that Lao Sheng made his fortune by smuggling, but I didn't expect this little one to be such a good thing!"

"It's fine to bully the major, but to become a deserter? I really want to take his shoulders off!"

Everyone scolded and made noises. Although they didn't name them, their anger was directed at the second master who had just returned to China.

In a fit of anger, I don't know who was the first to stop, and then the big guys stopped talking, and looked at the door one by one like marionettes.

The door slammed open.

The wind blew in, bringing in a few pieces of goose feathers.

Ji Weizhi's brows were stained white, and a few patches of frost had accumulated on the scarf. It looked like he had been standing outside the door for a while.

He entered the house as usual, picked up the hat that had been left by the brazier, put it on, and seemed to be only returning to get something.

Everyone in the room is breathless.

Ji Weizhi patted the snow on the scarf, and said expressionlessly: "Wen Shaoqi, come with me for extra training."
