Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 53 - To Go or Not to Go to the Base

Zhan Rong, with a humble smile, said, “Why would Han need to tease me? The credit might not end up on my head in the end. Besides, as you see, military power is fragmented everywhere; everyone is vying for people. We just arrived, and people from Yunan Base were already following us.”

Lu Changyuan passed a cigarette to Zhan Rong, who took it smoothly. Seeing Xu Luosheng, Su Xue, and Liu Ling still standing there, he frowned and said, “What are you still doing here? Go help the other team members. The convoy is leaving before dusk, and we can’t afford to delay.”

They all felt somewhat embarrassed. Su Xue, who was already displeased by Han Jiaojiao’s indifferent attitude, turned to leave immediately upon hearing Major Zhan. Liu Ling, being pulled along by her, couldn’t help but look back at Han Yi and asked in a low voice, “Who is he? Why is Major Zhan so polite to him… ”

Her voice was very soft but was still clearly heard by Han Jiaojiao. Seeing Liu Ling’s eyes nearly stuck on her brother, Han Jiaojiao couldn’t help but smirk coldly, feeling that the old saying “birds of a feather flock together” was quite fitting.

Xu Luosheng whispered to Han Jiaojiao, “Think it over some more.” Then he too turned and left.

Han Jiaojiao returned to Han Yi’s side and took his arm, politely calling out to the man in the military uniform, “Uncle Zhan.”

Zhan Rong laughed, “I know you, you’re Han Jiaojiao. Everyone in Qingjiang knows Han has a precious little sister.”

Standing beside Han Yi, Han Jiaojiao smiled demurely. Though her face showed a bit of shyness, she also appeared somewhat proud.

Han Yi had a mild smile on his face and said, “One always cherishes one’s own child.”

Zhan Rong felt a stir in his heart and hinted, “Of course. In these times, we indeed need to help each other. I just don’t know why Han didn’t leave with the people from the old Han Family…”

Yan Xiao snorted coldly at the side and cursed, “Those bastards!”

Zhan Rong’s expression stiffened slightly, and he immediately understood; he hadn’t anticipated that the Han Family had become so utterly incompatible.

Han Yi remained composed, offering no elaborate explanation, just saying flatly, “Every family has its own difficult scripture to recite, making Major Zhan laugh.”

Zhan Rong gave a meaningful sigh, “So it is, Han Chenfeng has indeed gone too far.” He paused, then asked, “Does Han have any plans for what’s next?”

Before Han Yi could answer, Zhan Rong added, “If you’re worried about Han Chenfeng causing trouble at the base, it’s really unnecessary; no ordinary person can get close to Elder Ji there.”

Han Yi smiled and said, “I appreciate Major Zhan’s kindness. Naturally, I will go to Beicheng Base, but I have some personal business to handle first before setting out.”

After Han Yi finished speaking, he glanced at Yan Xiao, who understood immediately and walked to the back of the vehicle. With a bang, he opened the rear compartment, revealing the firearms and ammunition inside.

A series of gasps erupted from the crowd.

Zhan Rong was first shocked, then overjoyed!

Lightly tapping the back of the vehicle, Han Yi said nonchalantly, “Consider these two boxes a welcoming gift to Major Zhan.”

Zhan Rong stared at the two heavy boxes, his smile meaningful. “Young Master Han is indeed much more generous than the old residence…”

Lu Changyuan, with a cigarette in his mouth, walked over and said, “Generosity varies from person to person, Major Zhan. Shall we talk over here?”

He then led Zhan Rong to a less crowded side.

Yan Xiao beckoned two soldiers to carry the two large boxes away from the vehicle.

Many eyes around were sizing up Han Yi and Han Jiaojiao. Han Jiaojiao, who disliked being the center of attention, tugged at Han Yi’s arm and whispered, “Brother, let’s go to the car.”

Han Yi then led her onto the vehicle, and once they were inside, Jiaojiao felt more at ease.

“Are you thirsty?” Han Yi asked as he pulled her to sit beside him.

Leaning into his embrace with no one else in the car, Jiaojiao began to act coquettishly, “I’m thirsty, tired, the sun was so strong, I feel dizzy… Ah, my legs and arms are also sore, I feel uncomfortable all over…”

Seeing her in this delicate state, Han Yi couldn’t help but chuckle repeatedly, reaching out to rub the top of her head and said amusedly, “Jiaojiao feels so uncomfortable, what should we do about this?”

Her eyes flickered, and with a curved smile revealing her cute little fangs, she said gleefully, “Brother, kiss me and I’ll feel better.”

Han Yi raised his eyebrows, “Aren’t you afraid your classmates will see?” The car windows were still open.

Jiaojiao said nonchalantly, “I’m not close with them. If we hadn’t run into them today, I wouldn’t even remember these people.”

Did she really forget?

Han Yi recalled the year Jiaojiao and Xu Luosheng went to a knowledge competition together. They both won awards, and after the competition, they were arranged together for a group photo. Wearing the same school uniforms, holding trophies and certificates in their hands, the young boy and girl stood side by side like childhood sweethearts; her smile in front of the camera was pure and sweet, leaving a lasting impression.

At that time, he sat quietly in the audience, overhearing a parent comment, “This young couple looks so well-matched.”

He couldn’t describe the taste of his feelings then: a bit bitter, a bit resentful, with an uncontrollable anger. She never smiled so happily in front of him.

“Baby, you are not allowed to smile at other men like that,” Han Yi said as he stroked her hair.

“Hm?” Jiaojiao looked at Han Yi, puzzled.

“Just now, didn’t you smile at Xu Luosheng?” Han Yi pinched her chin.

Who is Xu Luosheng?

Staring blankly at Han Yi, it took Jiaojiao a good while to realize, “…Oh! You mean the class leader, brother? I smiled at him just now?”

Han Yi couldn’t help but laugh. His sister had forgotten the guy’s name in just a blink of an eye. What was he being jealous over, really…
