Chapter 421 - 420
Jiang Dawei arrived at the house where Ye Tian was resting by noon. Through the windows, one could see Ye Tian hunching over the table, eating. Here, flour and rice are considered luxuries, but as they had a guest who had come from afar, they can’t be too stingy. The kitchen staff still made two meat dishes and steamed a pot of fragrant rice to be served.
Jiang Dawei knocked on the door.
This was what Wu Wenjun had told him, saying that he had to be polite or else the visitor might just carve out the apple of his eye.
The door opened to reveal a rank with three stars: a Captain, probably a Commander.
"It’s the Commander..."
"Comrade, I am the Commander, Jiang Dawei. Jiang as in ’scallion, ginger, garlic’, and Dawei as in ’great ambition’." Jiang Dawei’s rough self-introduction with his beard surprised Ye Tian a bit, who could only smile sheepishly and shake hands.

"Hello, I am Ye Tian, a reporter sent by the regiment, mainly tasked with reporting on the real lives of our border soldiers and..."
Ye Tian couldn’t continue because Jiang Dawei was staring at him and smiling in a meaningful way, his face tanned to a dark purple by the Highland sun, flashing white teeth — but not all of them, just two prominent incisors and beneath them two more... no, one of them was chipped in half.
Being stared at like this by a rugged, bearded man, anyone would find it hard to continue.
Commander Jiang clasped his hands behind his back, ponderously eyeing Ye Tian, "Comrade Ye, aren’t you going to invite me to sit down? I haven’t eaten yet. By the way, I’ve also brought you some goodies."
