Chapter 671: Is it moral decay? Or the distortion of human nature?!
"Father, aren't you leaving?" Shi Sijin, who was about to leave, asked when she saw that Marshal Shi was still standing there.
He followed Marshal Shi's gaze and paused for a moment when he saw Jiang Ci and Bai Mianmian's backs.
Why was the father staring at them?
No, Father was staring at Bai Mianmian!
Upon hearing the question, Marshal Shi immediately composed himself and said in a normal tone, "Let's go."
Shi Sijin snapped back to reality, saw him take a step forward, glanced at the two people walking further and further away, and then followed.
After the moth swarms wreaked havoc, very few habitable houses remained, and almost everyone's accommodations were remodeled.
Marshal Shi and Shi Sijin were no exception.
They originally lived in two separate buildings, but now they have been put in the same building.
After returning to his residence, Marshal Shi suddenly called out to Shi Sijin, who was about to go back to her room to wash up and go to bed, and said, "Come with me to the study."
Shi Sijin instantly recalled the way he stared at Bai Mianmian before he came back.
Could it be that he wanted to talk to me about Bai Mianmian?
Shi Sijin's guess was correct. After following him into the study, Marshal Shi went straight to the point and asked, "What do you think of Bai Mianmian?"
Shi Sijin's heart skipped a beat.
In that instant, the question Bai Mianmian had asked in the Second Legion's command room flashed through his mind: "Aren't we scattering that seed anymore?"
Could it be that Father...
"What's wrong?" Marshal Shi asked, seeing him frowning and remaining silent. "Is this a difficult question to answer?"
Shi Sijin suppressed the bad feeling in her heart and shook her head, saying, "My sister-in-law is very good. She has a gentle personality, is generous in her actions, and will never refuse to help you if you need something..."
"Stop!" Marshal Shi raised his hand to interrupt him, his eyes filled with displeasure: "Are you really not understanding what I mean, or are you pretending to be confused?"
"What do you mean?" Shi Sijin frowned, looking at him with a puzzled expression. "You asked me what I think of your sister-in-law. I'm just giving my honest opinion. What's the problem?"
Marshal Shi stared at him, his eyes full of suspicion. Did this kid really not understand the subtext of his words?
"What I mean is, what do you think about being Bai Mianmian's second husband?" Marshal Shi asked directly.
Whether he genuinely didn't understand or pretended not to, he has to face this problem.
"!" Shi Sijin's eyes widened in shock, and she choked on her saliva, immediately bursting into a fit of agonizing coughing: "Cough! Cough cough cough cough..."
Marshal Shi, who was waiting for his reply: "..."
He actually choked on his own saliva; he's really "impressive"!
Shi Sijin coughed for a while before slowly stopping.
"I think you should seriously consider this," Marshal Shi said calmly. "You also have a good impression of Bai Mianmian, don't you?"
"..." Shi Sijin, who was trying hard to suppress a cough, looked at Marshal Shi, who had a calm expression, speechless.
He was coughing so hard he was about to cough up his lungs, and his elderly father was still fixated on it!
"Ahem..." Shi Sijin cleared her throat, her eyes filled with suspicion as she looked at Marshal Shi. "Father, you wouldn't be thinking of this because you're after my sister-in-law's purification abilities, would you?"
Besides this reason, he couldn't think of any other possibility for the time being.
For Bai Mianmian's purification ability, his father was actually going to "sell" his own son?!
Is this a moral decline? Or a distortion of human nature?!
“Bai Mianmian, I think she’s quite nice.” Marshal Shi didn’t answer Shi Sijin directly. He said, “She’s also quite friendly to you, isn’t she? I think this can work out.”
Shi Sijin initially wanted to argue after hearing the first part, but upon hearing the latter part, he immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say. From what he had seen in the Second Legion recently, Bai Mianmian was gentle and friendly to everyone, and her attitude towards him was exactly the same as her attitude towards everyone else.
Where did his father get the idea that he and Bai Mianmian could get together?
Is there really nothing wrong with that look in your eyes?!
"Father, is there a problem with the vision section in your medical report?" Shi Sijin asked with a serious expression of "concern".
Upon hearing this, Marshal Shi's brows immediately furrowed: "Are you saying I'm blind?!"
"Uh... I didn't say that." Shi Sijin quickly waved her hand to clarify, but then added, "However, it seems you've realized the problem yourself."
Marshal Shi's eyes widened immediately, and then he flashed away.
Shi Sijin reacted instantly and tried to dodge, but his movements were ultimately a fraction too slow.
"Bang!" Marshal Shi suddenly appeared in front of him, and his right fist struck out with lightning speed, hitting him heavily on the head.
A sharp pain shot through her head, and amidst the ringing in her ears, Shi Sijin heard her father angrily cursing, "You brat, you've got some nerve, haven't you? How dare you call your old man blind!"
"Hiss~" Shi Sijin covered her head and crouched down slightly, waiting for the pain to subside while saying indignantly, "Even if you're not blind, you must have bad eyesight!"
"Oh~" Marshal Shi used the fist that had just hit him to lightly nudge his forehead where he had been hit, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Now, do you still dare to say that my eyesight is bad?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Shi Sijin cried out in pain, quickly pulling her head to the side.
Marshal Shi had no intention of continuing the "attack," so Shi Sijin smoothly moved her aching head away from the "danger zone."
"Hmph!" Marshal Shi couldn't help but snort when he saw how badly he had been bullied.
Shi Sijin rubbed her aching forehead and frowned as she retorted, "If you have such good eyesight, how come you didn't notice that your sister-in-law is so gentle to everyone?"
"Hmph, didn't you notice that her attitude towards you is always a bit gentler than towards others?" Marshal Shi raised his chin, presenting his "ironclad evidence."
"Huh?" Shi Sijin felt that her father's words were a bit outrageous.
"What?!" Marshal Shi felt his fists itching again, and subconsciously clenched them. His face darkened as he said, "I'm just asking you, can you be Bai Mianmian's second husband?"
If you try to change the subject, don't blame him for his fists.
"Impossible!" Shi Sijin replied decisively without even thinking. "I have no interest in sharing a wife with someone else!"
Marshal Shi frowned even more deeply, because he knew Shi Sijin too well. Once this kid made a firm statement, he would never easily back down.
“Aren’t you and Jiang Ci the best of brothers? You two…” Marshal Shi wanted to say a few more words of advice.
“Father,” Shi Sijin interrupted him in a deep voice, her tone resolute and leaving no room for argument, “I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible.”
He added with a straight face, "Also, my sister-in-law doesn't really treat me anything special. If you have time, take a good look at how she gets along with Jiang Ci, and you'll understand how... ridiculous your idea is."
Marshal Shi remained silent.
Just when Shi Sijin thought the matter was over, Marshal Shi spoke again: "I didn't ask you to compare yourself to Jiang Ci."
Shi Sijin: "?"
What did he mean by that?!
