The Supreme Soldier in the City

The sound of knocking rose, and Gina Lopez stood up to open the door. Very few people visited her at this time—most of them were Sunny Nguyen.

Sunny Nguyen walked in, noticing that James Brown was also here, immediately smiled and said, "I hope I’m not interrupting your lovely couple’s romantic talk?"

Gina’s face turned red and she retorted, "Sister Sunny, you are still teasing me. You’ve had your share of romances and spoken plenty of love yourself."

Now it was Sunny Nguyen’s turn to feel awkward. She didn’t expect Gina to say such words in front of James Brown, neither moving forward seemed right nor did retreating.

"Sister Sunny, come in." Gina then pulled Sunny inside and pushed her onto the sofa next to James, taking a seat on his other side.

Though Gina’s action seemed casual, to Sunny Nguyen and James Brown, it was somewhat awkward. It seemed like Gina should have sat next to James and pulled Sunny to sit on her side instead.

Gina then laughed and said, "James, Sister Sunny is your old flame, you wouldn’t be embarrassed just because I’m here, right?"

James Brown coughed dryly and didn’t dare to respond. Gina was officially his wife now, and though he might have clandestine relationships with other women, openly flirting with Sunny Nguyen in front of Gina would be disrespectful to her.

This made James feel like Gina was testing him, making him even more hesitant to interject.

Gina hooked James Brown’s arm, leaned forward across him, and said to Sunny Nguyen, "Sister Sunny, did you need something from me?"

Sunny Nguyen felt extremely awkward at this moment, but managed a strained smile, saying, "Nothing in particular. I just couldn’t sleep and thought I’d come over for a chat, not realizing you two were here. Guess I’ve become your third wheel."
