After hearing this, Xi'er looked at the military doctor and nodded slightly. Su Yun Chu then smiled at the military doctor and said softly, "Military doctor, I should thank you for inviting us to dinner!"

After hearing this, the military doctor glanced in Xi'er's direction without showing any emotion, and then spoke with a slight smile, "Dr. Su, didn't you also treat me to wontons? We're just returning the favor!"

Su Yun Chu followed his gaze and saw the military doctor staring blankly in Xi'er's direction.

Su Yun Chu couldn't help but think to herself, "So the military doctor wants to ask Xi'er out, but he doesn't know what excuse to use."

Su Yun Chu coughed deliberately, which brought the military doctor back to his senses.

He looked at Su Yun Chu with a hint of apology and said in a low voice, "Dr. Su, I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now!"

After hearing this, Su Yun looked at the military doctor, nodded slightly, and said with a light smile, "Medical doctor, it's nothing. I get distracted sometimes too."

After Su Yun Chu finished speaking, she looked at everyone and continued eating her dinner.

Because Xi'er was sitting quite far away, she often had to stand up to reach the food that was further away. Seeing that Xi'er had difficulty reaching the food, the army doctor moved some of Xi'er's favorite dishes in front of her.

Seeing this, the soldiers clamored for the medic to put some food in Xi'er's bowl. Xi'er had never seen anything like this before, and immediately blushed with embarrassment.

Seeing this, the soldiers started jeering even more loudly, some even saying that the army doctor's wife had blushed.

After hearing this, Xi'er looked at the soldiers who were making a fuss, then looked in the direction of the military doctor. Seeing that the military doctor did not say a word, she ran away crying.

Seeing this, the military doctor glanced at Xi'er's retreating figure and wanted to stand up and chase after her.

Just then, a soldier couldn't stand it any longer, stood up, and angrily said, "Making jokes like this to a young girl, you've really gone too far!"

After the soldier finished speaking, he calmed his expression slightly, looked at the army doctor, and then looked in the direction Xi'er had left. "I'm full, I'm leaving now. You guys take your time eating!"

After the soldier finished speaking, he ran off in the direction Xi'er had gone. Upon seeing this, Su Yun immediately understood that the soldier must also have feelings for Xi'er.

Su Yun Chu, disregarding her unfinished dinner, followed closely behind. Seeing this, the soldiers realized their joke had gone a bit too far.

One of the leading soldiers glanced in the direction Su Yun Chu had left, then looked at the army doctor, and spoke with a hint of apology.

"Medic, the brothers really didn't mean it. We were just playing a joke on Xi'er. We did it just to lighten the mood, we didn't think much of it."

After hearing this, the military doctor looked at the soldier who had spoken, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face. He said coldly, "Brothers, do you know that such a small joke of yours could ruin a young woman's reputation?"

After hearing this, the soldier looked at the medic and nodded slightly. Seeing this, the other soldiers also spoke up in unison, "Medic, we really know we were wrong!"

After hearing this, the army doctor looked at the soldiers, and his expression softened slightly.

"Brothers, now that you know you were wrong, go find Miss Xi'er later, apologize to her properly, and get her forgiveness!"

After hearing this, the soldiers looked at the army doctor and nodded in agreement. Seeing this, the army doctor also got up and chased after Xi'er in the direction she had left.

The soldiers were the first to spot Xi'er. They found her sitting alone by the stone table in the pavilion, silently shedding tears. She looked incredibly heartbroken!

The soldier desperately wanted to rush over and comfort her, but just as he was about to go, Su Yun Chu arrived and stopped him, saying, "Don't go over there yet, let Xi'er calm down!"

After hearing this, the soldiers looked at Su Yun Chu and nodded slightly.

Upon seeing this, Su Yunchu glanced in Xi'er's direction, then at the soldiers, and spoke again, "Your joke this time was indeed a bit too much. You've ruined Xi'er's reputation!"

After hearing this, the soldier looked at Su Yun Chu and said with a hint of apology, "Doctor Su, I really didn't expect the brothers to make such a joke."

Then, the soldier changed the subject, "But I think the brothers really didn't do it on purpose. After all, we're just a bunch of roughnecks, we didn't think that much about it."

After hearing this, Su Yun glanced at the soldiers and nodded slightly to show her understanding, but still spoke up.

"I don't think the soldiers meant it, but there should be limits to jokes. You can't just make any kind of joke!"

After hearing this, the soldier looked at Su Yun Chu and nodded slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Xi'er came up to them.

Xi'er composed herself slightly and asked in a low voice, "Miss, shouldn't you all be having dinner? Why are you all here?"

Just as the soldiers were about to say something, Su Yun Chu stopped them.

Su Yun Chu walked past the soldiers and slowly approached Xi'er. She smiled and said, "Xi'er, you suddenly ran out. We were worried about you and afraid something might happen to you, so we all came with you."

After hearing this, Xi'er looked at Su Yun Chu, then at her soldiers, and nodded slightly. "Miss, I just wanted to come out for some fresh air."

"I'm so sorry to have worried you all!" After saying that, Xi'er subconsciously searched for that tall and handsome figure in the crowd.

She looked for a long time but couldn't find the person's shadow.

Xi'er couldn't help but waver in her heart, "His brothers made jokes like that with her, and he didn't stop them. Does that mean he has no feelings for her at all?"

Just then, Su Yun Chu noticed that she was deep in thought and interrupted her, saying, "Xi'er, what are you thinking about?"

After hearing this, Xi'er looked at Su Yun Chu and shook her head slightly. "Miss, Xi'er is really fine. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest!"

After hearing this, Su Yun Chu glanced at the soldier and decided to give him a chance to prove himself. So, Su Yun Chu asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"

After hearing this, the soldier looked at Su Yun Chu, then at Xi Er, and replied in a low voice, "In response to Doctor Su, just call me Xiao He."

"Xiao He, can you help me send Xi'er back?" Su Yun Chu asked in a low voice, "I'm worried about letting her go back alone."

After hearing this, Xi'er shook her head at Su Yun Chu, "Miss, I can manage on my own, so there's no need to trouble Xiao He!"

After hearing this, Xiao He looked at Su Yun Chu, then at Xi Er, and said in a low voice, "Miss Xi Er, it's no trouble at all. Let me take you back."

After hearing this, Xi'er looked in Su Yun Chu's direction and saw Su Yun Chu nod at Xi'er.

Seeing this, Xi'er nodded helplessly to Xiao He and said in a low voice, "Xiao He, then I'll have to trouble you!"

After hearing this, Xiao He looked at Xi'er, smiled slightly, and shook his head. "Miss Xi'er, it's no trouble at all. I'm going there anyway."
