423: I don't want my sister to suffer.

"Why is your face so red? And you're sweating so much?"

Gu Yuan asked.

"The food on this island is really good. You should all try it properly." Qiao Yan knew perfectly well that the people here had deliberately added chili peppers.

Most of their men were from the north, and the people from Guangdong Province and Guangxi Province here also didn't eat much chili, but today's dishes were exceptionally spicy.

However, they did have one dish without chili peppers.

This was clearly done to target them.

He didn't expect Lu Jing to be so shameless, having even more tricks than before. He even added chili to their meal.

Luckily, he had also started eating spicy food now, otherwise, he really would have been tricked, which would have been embarrassing.

"Gu Yuan, Gu Jin, seeing how happy you are, it seems you won."

Gu Yuan smiled as he listened to Qiao Yan's words.

"Our side had a small victory, but the people in the Second Team are still very good..."

Gu Yuan spoke, praising the people of the Second Team.

Not far away, Captain Zhang's expression was ugly. They had been beaten quite badly, but the traps they set had earned them quite a few merits. Still, a loss was a loss; this time, they had disgraced the Special Forces Brigade.

He looked up and saw Lu Jing talking to many people. Those people were similar in age to Lu Jing, and their temperaments were somewhat similar to his.

Could it be that the people who came this time were all people Lu Jing knew?

These people were truly difficult to deal with, and their tactics were incredibly numerous, which was truly eye-opening for them.

Captain Zhang snorted coldly and led his men into the mess hall.

"Little Sister, have you eaten yet?"

Hearing her Second Older Brother's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.

"I have."

"Will you eat a little more with us?"

Hearing her Second Older Brother say this, Xiao Niannian nodded.

Gu Yuan and Gu Jin surrounded their little sister and walked toward the mess hall.

Qiao Yan looked at Lu Jing and Shen Yan's group. He saw Lu Jing look up, his expression calm, while Shen Yan was looking around nervously, seeming like he wanted to follow but didn't quite dare.

Qiao Yan laughed.

Someone like Shen Yan was completely mismatched with Xiao Niannian, no matter how you looked at it.

Qiao Yan was misled by his own thinking. Lu Jing didn't show how good he was to Xiao Niannian in front of outsiders; only a very few people could tell that Lu Jing's feelings for Xiao Niannian were extraordinary.

Moreover, Xiao Niannian's attitude toward Lu Jing was also ordinary, so many people didn't think about them in that way.

Shen Yan, on the other hand, followed Xiao Niannian around all day, and was usually beaten by Xiao Niannian until his own parents wouldn't recognize him.

Military Doctor Shen frequently prescribed medicine for his younger brother, sometimes even helping him apply the ointment.

It must be said that his younger brother's current combat power was much better than before.

After getting their food, Gu Yuan and Gu Jin sat down at a separate table.

"Older Brothers, I asked the mess hall to make a dish for you."

When the Soldiers of the Cooking Squad heard that Instructor Xiao's biological Older Brothers had arrived, they immediately prepared a seafood platter, featuring both spicy and steamed options.

These seafood items were originally picked up by Instructor Xiao and her group from the seaside.

"Thank you, Little Sister."

When the dish arrived, Gu Yuan and Gu Jin were stunned.

It was one big platter containing six dishes, all seafood.

Although the two brothers were in different military branches, they had both spent several years by the sea and loved eating seafood. Seeing these dishes, they couldn't express how happy they were.

Little Sister is truly good to us!

"We brought you gifts; we'll get them for you later."

"Thank you, Eldest Older Brother and Second Older Brother."

Gu Yuan smiled and reached out to pat his little sister's head, but remembering they were in the Military Unit, he immediately withdrew his hand.

"Little Sister, won't you eat a little more?"

Xiao Niannian took the bowl and chopsticks, feeling like she could eat a bit more of such good food.

After eating, Gu Yuan and Gu Jin followed Xiao Niannian to the dormitory.

"Little Sister, your dormitory is quite nice."

Gu Yuan and Gu Jin looked at their little sister's dormitory. It was spotless, and her belongings were neatly organized. There was also a toilet with a water tank; pouring water into it allowed for showering.

This was much more convenient than going to the public bathhouse.

"We heard you won against Qiao Yan and his group. Tell your Eldest Older Brother and Second Older Brother what happened."

Seeing the expectant looks on her Older Brothers' faces, Xiao Niannian began recounting yesterday's events.

"Yesterday, when we went out for the rescue mission, we felt something was off from the start. By the time we went to the second island, we had already guessed it was an assessment... Then, when we reached that island, the Soldiers began setting traps..."

Hearing their little sister's words, although Gu Yuan and Gu Jin hadn't personally witnessed yesterday's confrontation, they could imagine how badly Qiao Yan and his team were defeated yesterday.

Twenty-eight Soldiers were captured alive. They wondered what kind of training those twenty-eight Soldiers would receive once they returned.

But what did that have to do with them?

They truly learned a lot during this visit. A Special Forces Brigade like the one in Yangcheng is at the forefront of many things, indeed more advanced than their other Military Units. They must study hard.

"We heard you've been practicing parachuting these days. How is your learning coming along, Little Sister?"

"I'm learning very well. I'll be going parachuting in a few days..."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan and Gu Jin immediately became worried. They weren't concerned about other things, but parachuting was dangerous... "Little Sister, parachuting is a bit dangerous, you..."

"Little Sister, about parachuting, you really shouldn't go..."

Hearing the words of her Eldest Older Brother and Second Older Brother, Xiao Niannian said with a smile.

"Eldest Older Brother, Second Older Brother, don't worry, I'm confident."

She knew her Eldest Older Brother and Second Older Brother were worried about her safety, but she was confident. Furthermore, there was now a main parachute and a reserve parachute; if the main one failed to open, the reserve one would open automatically, so there wouldn't be any problems... Hearing their little sister's words and seeing her determined expression, Gu Yuan and Gu Jin stopped trying to persuade her.

"We will stay here for a while. When you return to the City Name, Eldest Older Brother and Second Older Brother will escort you back to school..."

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian nodded in agreement after hearing her Older Brothers' words.

"You've gotten tanned and lost weight these past few days."

Gu Yuan and Gu Jin looked at their little sister with heartache. Their originally fair and beautiful little sister was now several shades darker. They were even more dissatisfied with Lu Jing.

If it weren't for Lu Jing, how could their little sister have come to the Special Forces Brigade and endured such hardship?

Even if a regular Military Unit was tough, it was only a little tough, but the Special Forces Brigade meant constant hardship, especially when carrying out missions. Regular missions were fine, but they had experienced too many dangerous missions, often facing life-or-death situations... They had always hoped that their little sister would grow up happy and carefree, never having to suffer any hardships again.

"Little Sister, how about going into the Air Force after you graduate, or perhaps staying at the Research Institute..."

"Eldest Older Brother is right, the Special Forces Brigade is too tough..."
