As soon as he left, the military dependents who had just arrived came back again. Each of them looked at Liu Yang even more directly than before, with envy in their eyes almost overflowing.

The competition officially starts at 10:30. In the morning, only the shooting event will be held, and the rest will be held in the afternoon.

August was the height of summer, and the sun began to rise after nine o'clock. At least the military area had a large awning, so those who watched the ceremony could fan themselves and drink herbal tea. But the soldiers on the competition field, under the scorching sun, were shooting at fixed and moving targets without moving, and their uniforms were soaked with sweat in an instant.

Especially Xu Zhiyuan, his position was completely exposed to the sun, while Liu Jun's side was at least half shaded.

"Are you feeling distressed?"

Liu Yang looked up when he heard the voice and found that Wang Guifen had moved to the position on his left at some point, and he didn't know how long she had been looking at him.

"I can't say I feel sad, but I just feel it's very hard."

Ma Guifen sighed and said, "It's not shameful to feel sorry for your man, and there's no need to be embarrassed. They all went through this. The conditions are much better now than before. If you really feel sorry for him, massage Captain Xu's legs before you go to bed at night to relax him."

Liu Yang was drinking herbal tea and almost choked.

She didn't want to explain her personal affairs to others, so she just laughed it off and said, "Thank you, Sister Guifen, for reminding me."

"You're welcome. Young military wives like you are bound to have some shortcomings. We can visit each other often in the future. You can ask me if you don't understand something. And Yin Ying, her husband Ma is the direct supervisor of your Battalion Commander Xu, so you can talk to her too." Ma Guifen chatted with Liu Yang very enthusiastically, and Liu Yang responded with a smile throughout the conversation.

It’s really strange. After coming here, even my social phobia was cured.

The shooting competition lasted for an hour. When the results came out, no one was surprised. The first place went to Xu Zhiyuan. He hit all ten rings in ten shots at the fixed target and only missed one in ten shots at the moving target.

Liu Jun won the third place, which is also a good result. This surprised Liu Yang. In her impression, although this brother is also a soldier, he is always a bit sloppy and does not look like a capable soldier.

With their achievements in the army, they can both be called sharpshooters.

"Xiao Liu, come on, I'll take you to dinner." Ma Guifen stood up and waved to Liu Yang.

Liu Yang thought of what Xu Zhiyuan had just told her to wait for him here, so she smiled and declined.

When most of the people had left, Xu Zhiyuan came over with two lunch boxes and said, "I was worried that you would feel uncomfortable being watched in the cafeteria, so I brought the food up."

"Thank you so much." Liu Yang felt relieved. He was just in the military family area and the scene was so chaotic. If he had gone to the cafeteria, he would definitely have become the object of attention. It was Xu Zhiyuan who brought the food up. The food here was a little hot, but it was still relatively relaxing and comfortable.

Liu Yang opened the lunch box and her appetite was immediately aroused. Braised chicken wings, steamed pork with rice flour, and stir-fried spinach were all her favorite dishes.

Liu Yang took a bite of the steamed pork with rice flour and couldn't help but sigh, "The food in your cafeteria is so delicious, it's on par with ours."

"Here, if it's not enough, I'll get more." Without saying anything, Xu Zhiyuan gave the largest piece of steamed pork with rice flour in his bowl to Liu Yang. Liu Yang looked at the empty lunch box and asked a little embarrassedly, "If you give it to me, will you still have enough to eat?"

Xu Zhiyuan pointed at the rice in Liu Yang's bowl and said, "If you can't finish the rice, you can give me some."

Liu Yang really couldn't finish the meal. She loved meat and could eat two or three servings of ribs in one go. But she usually only had two taels of rice in one meal and couldn't eat more. It looked like there were three taels of rice in the lunch box.

"I can't finish it, but I've already eaten it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Zhiyuan took the initiative and put a piece of rice into the bowl, "I don't dislike you."

Liu Yang was feeling complicated at the moment. To be honest, he didn't hate him, but he just didn't like him that much.

"Xu Zhiyuan, why don't you want to divorce me? Aren't you afraid that I will suddenly go back to my old self one day? I think you must hate my old self." Liu Yang didn't look at him. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head to eat.

Xu Zhiyuan paused, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "This is the first time you called my name after you drowned."

Liu Yang was stunned. He didn't expect that the point he paid attention to was how he addressed him.

"Then do you like yourself now?" Xu Zhiyuan asked instead of answering.

Liu Yang nodded decisively, "Of course I like it."

"If you like yourself now, there is no need to answer your question. You like the way you are now and you will never change back to the way you were before. Why should I worry about you?" Xu Zhiyuan put the lunch box on the ground and said seriously, "I am not Song Jianhua. I will not let you become like that again."

Oh my god, these words were like an arrow that shot straight into Liu Yang's heart.

He was right. In addition to the lack of education and companionship from Dean Liu and Teacher Xu, Song Jianhua was indeed a big part of the reason why the original owner became like that. A bad partner can indeed make a person become a bad person.

Xu Zhiyuan is not Song Jianhua, and he will definitely not be like Song Jianhua.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle. Liu Yang's cheeks felt a little hot, perhaps because the summer was too hot or because of Xu Zhiyuan's words. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Liu Jun appeared in time and saved her.

"Why are you two here, Zhiyuan? The commander just looked for you and asked me to tell you that you must perform well this afternoon and strive to win first place in the military competition. Then, make another effort next month and win first place in the national competition." Liu Jun sat down on the other side of Liu Yang and drank water from a kettle.

No. 1 in the entire army? No. 1 in the country?

Liu Yang was a little surprised how powerful Xu Zhiyuan was.

"I understand. You can leave now." Xu Zhiyuan ordered him to leave expressionlessly.

"I searched the entire barracks for you to pass on the message to you. I just sat down to have a drink of water and you chased me away?" Liu Jun was not convinced. When he was about to challenge Xu Zhiyuan, he saw Liu Yang's face and immediately focused all his attention on her face. "Yangyang, why is your face so red? Did he bully you? Don't be afraid, I saved his life."

Xu Zhiyuan raised his head and glanced at him, "Your life-saving grace has already been used."

Liu Jun was not convinced: "You don't want a divorce, do you? Then the fact that I saved your life in exchange for your marrying my sister doesn't count. Instead, you should thank me for bringing you two together. Otherwise, how would you have the chance to have dinner with my sister now?"

"Brother, stop talking." Liu Yang reached out and covered Liu Jun's mouth. He found that Liu Jun seemed to be a little abnormal, and quickly touched his forehead, "Brother, you have a fever."
