To be honest, Sara didn't understand why Yasmine was so concerned about her. Although she pretended to be indifferent, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard Yasmine saying about Hank's past. She did not know why either.
Sara pursed her lips and said perfunctorily, "It's alright."
Yasmine noticed that Sara was lacking interest. She smiled in her heart, but she didn't reveal anything on her face. Instead, she talked to Alex.
However, Alex obviously would not take any heed to her. He did not answer a single word.
Yasmine's face darkened and she shut up finally.
"Crack!" Alex threw the gun that had been assembled to Sara and said, "Have a look."
Sara exclaimed, "You're amazing."
Alex said, "It's not that I'm amazing, you're just too lousy."
Sara was speechless.
The two of them acted as if there was no one around. Yasmine felt bored to stay there, so she got up and looked for Commander Selmy.
Commander Selmy was old and vigorous, his shooting skills were still the same as before. He still able to shoot precisely and his hands were very steady.
A group of people flattered, "Commander Selmy really isn't giving the young people a chance!"
"Look at this shooting skill! No wonder that he was famous as a crack shot back then!"
"That's right. Back then, the Commander Selmy was a well-known sharpshooter. I remember that there was a military show in which Commander Selmy won glory for the country and made the people from Country H and Country B too embarrassed to lift their heads!"
Listening to those compliments, Commander Selmy just smiled. He had been in a high position for a long time and heard it every day. Even the most ambitious person would be tired of listening to it. He handed the gun in his hand to his assistant and said, "After all, I'm old and weak. I already feel a little unwell after shooting for just a while."
The assistant immediately asked worriedly, "Are you sick? We left in a hurry today, so we didn't bring medicine. Or you should go first..." back
Commander Selmy waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It does not matter. I'll sit by the side for a while and see the ability of these young people."
Although the assistant was still frowning, he didn't say anything more.
There were a lot of people there that day, especially the youngsters. They were trying hard to show their shooting skills in front of the Commander Selmy, like flowers trying to show their splendor in the spring.
Alex was not interested at anything. He sat cross-legged on the ground and propped his chin. Suddenly, he grinned and said, "Sara, do you remember that you owe me something?"
Sara was staring intently at the spare parts on her hand. She raised her head in a daze and asked, "Huh? What's that?"
Her voice was soft and particularly cute, which made Alex's ears itch. He raised his eyebrows gently and said, "You promised me during the basketball match last time, did you change your mind?"
Sara recalled it finally.
During the basketball match on Friday, when Alex got onto the basketball court, Sara did promise him something.
Sara blushed and whispered, "Do you want me to honor the promise here?"
"Yes." Alex looked at her with a faint smile, "You're not going to break your promise, are you?"
"How would I!" Sara puffed up her cheeks and widened her doe-like eyes. Her cheeks half-covered by her hair were flushing. After a long while, she finally plucked up her courage and murmured in a low voice,...Brother Alex."
"What? I didn't hear you clearly." Alex's handsome face looked like a scoundrel. He fiddled with one of the gun parts with his slender fingers leisurely, "Your voice is too low.
Sara was speechless. She was so annoyed that she was about to cry!
She snorted and said, "You must have heard it clearly."
"No, I really didn't." Alex said, "There are so many people here and it's so noisy. Your voice is too low. I only saw your lips moving. I truly missed out what you said."
Sara looked at him with a conflicted look. After a long while, she said, "Alright, I'll just pretend that you didn't hear it."
Alex smiled as he had just succeeded. On the next second, he heard Sara say, "But I already called you that. I don't care if you heard it or not."
Alex was speechless. "She was good at throwing tantrums." He thought
He couldn't help laughing. He reached out and stroked Sara's head, "I'm older than you. It's not a bad thing for you to call me brother. Calling me brother will do you good."
Sara pushed his hand away and said righteously, "Don't touch my head! I might not grow taller!"
Alex laughed and said, "Do you drink milk everyday?"
Sara stretched out two white and tender palms and gestured, "Yeah, I drink this big glass of milk every morning, and another big glass at night!"
Alex thought for a moment and said, "Then it may be the genes of your family."
"Nonsense!" Sara widened her round eyes, "My mother was 1.65 meters tall!"
"Well, it seems that milk has no use to you." Alex said, "Why don't you try on high calcium milk powder?"
Sara curled her lips, "I'm an adult already, so I don't drink milk powder."
Alex narrowed his eyes and reached out a finger to correct her, "You're turning 18 in six months. You are just 17 now."
"It's still 18!" Sara retorted in a huff, "I'm an adult!"
Alex felt she was so cute and he echoed, "Okay, okay, okay. You are an adult now. You are allowed to do something as an adult. Isn't there some milk powder for adults? I'll bring you a cup of it on Monday."
Sara frowned and said, "I said that I don't drink milk powder. Why are you so annoying."
"It's obvious that you..." Before Alex could finish his words, he heard Yasmine's scream, "Commander Selmy! Commander Selmy, what's wrong with you?"
Although he had been showing that he was indifferent about his grandfather, in the Selmy family, only that old man treated him sincerely. Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to come out with Commander Selmy. When he heard that, he stood up immediately.
Sara also stood up and ran over.
Commander Selmy was surrounded by a lot of people. When they saw Alex coming, they made a way for him.
Commander Selmy's face turned pale. He leaned against the seat and was panting. The assistant was so anxious that he shouted, "Call the doctor! Call the doctor!"
"Already. The hospital asked us to do a simple first aid..." The one who spoke was a relative of the Selmy family. He was more capable among the younger generation, Commander Selmy also appreciated him very much. He was calm and half-kneeling beside Commander Selmy, "Don't worry. Didn't Commander bring along his medicine?"
"When I left in the morning, I found that the medicine bottle was empty, so I didn't bring it." The assistant said.
Alex frowned, "How could there be such a big mistake!"
"No one would have expected he would be sick out of the blue!" The assistant was drenched in sweat, "How to do first aid?! Is there anyone who knows how to do it?!"
As William was doted by Commander Selmy, he was a quick-witted and capable man naturally. As Commander Selmy had heart disease, he spent a lot of effort studying it. He glanced at Alex and ordered in a low voice, "Alex, stand aside and let grandpa lie down."
