Chapter 196: Everyone Peeping
“What are you all looking at? Get in the vehicle and return to barracks!”
After Xiao Zhuang left with his girlfriend, Gao Zhong Dui then glared and told the spectating A Group and B Group to get in the vehicle.
“The sour stench of love!”
Ostrich smacked his lips and said.
“This is love.”
Chang Ning couldn’t help but sigh, though he didn’t think love could descend upon him.
“I say Ostrich, everyone here can sigh about it except you.”
Qiang Zi said seriously.
“Qiang Zi, what do you mean? I’m telling you, Paratrooper also has the right to pursue love.” Ostrich said unconvinced.
“His meaning is, aside from Xiao Zhuang and you, everyone else is single, so you can’t sigh about it.” Chang Ning explained.
“No, I’m single too.”
Ostrich was fine not saying this, but once he did, everyone’s gazes toward him carried contempt.
Now who didn’t know he was pursuing Staff Officer Xia from the Armed Police border defense corps? Only he thought he was keeping it secret well.
Little did he know, every Lone Wolf member who could know already knew.
“Yes, yes, yes, you’re single, okay.”
“Hahaha…”
Although everyone agreed he was single, Ostrich somehow felt perfunctorily dismissed by his comrades.
“Are you all this joyful in your daily life?”
Tong Youyou, sitting next to Chang Ning, asked softly.
Chang Ning previously didn’t know what “breath like orchids” meant, but now he did.
The breath from Tong Youyou whispering in his ear made his ear itch, and that faint scent became even more noticeable.
“Cough cough, yeah. That guy Ostrich always manages to make everyone laugh.”
Chang Ning lifted his buttocks and shifted slightly to the side.
“Can also annoy people.” The Medic sitting opposite lifted his head and supplemented.
“What nonsense are you saying? Am I that kind of person?
Military Doctor Tong, let me tell you, as a Paratrooper, you have to be able both in arts and arms!”
Ostrich sat in Xiao Zhuang’s previous spot with a face full of smiles, endlessly bragging.
If it were anything else, Ostrich might not be enthusiastic, but when it came to his own glorious deeds, he could talk for three days and nights.
Paratrooper: What? You say I’m bragging? Adding some artistic flair how can that be called bragging? In art, this is called reasonable exaggeration, enhancing the character’s color!
“Hehe, Military Doctor Tong, why don’t you look up at the sky?” The Medic said with a mischievous grin.
“What’s up?”
Hearing this, Tong Youyou really looked up, but unfortunately, all she saw was army-green waterproof cloth, nothing else.
Seeing B Group’s faces full of smiles, Tong Youyou was very puzzled.
She hadn’t participated in Wolf Fang’s selection training camp with Chang Ning and the others, so naturally she didn’t know this joke.
“You should ask Chang Ning.”
The Medic seamlessly assisted Chang Ning.
“Hey, how can you corrupt Military Doctor Tong like that? That’s not right.”
Having finally met someone willing to listen to his tales of past excellence, Ostrich naturally didn’t want anyone interrupting.
Chang Ning didn’t care what Ostrich thought, and facing Tong Youyou’s gaze full of curiosity, he recounted the training camp joke about Ostrich bragging.
Of course, he didn’t omit relaying Ostrich’s remark that “Paratroopers are born to be surrounded.”
Listening to Chang Ning’s explanation, Tong Youyou covered her mouth and laughed.
She originally thought Ostrich would feel socially dead, but who knew that guy was not ashamed but proud.
“Is it that funny? Don’t you all think Paratroopers are born to be surrounded?”
“Actually, I want to hear about when you, Paratrooper, parachuted into the women’s toilet.”
Tong Youyou leaned against Chang Ning, smiling brightly.
“Oh my god, you’ve all corrupted Military Doctor Tong.” Ostrich said, exasperated.
“Hahaha…”
Without a doubt, Ostrich’s expression once again amused everyone.
“Aren’t you curious how Xiao Zhuang and his girlfriend are getting along?” Chang Ning asked after everyone quieted down.
“That doesn’t seem right.”
Everyone understood what Chang Ning meant.
Though they said it wasn’t right on their lips, their expressions had already betrayed them.
This was a group of bad eggs!
Everyone: How can it count as bad? We’re just worried Xiao Zhuang might do something improper to the female comrade.
“Xiao Zhuang will slaughter us.” Ostrich said with a scaredy-cat look.
“How about you and Military Doctor Tong stay to help explain to Gao Zhong Dui?”
Seeing Ostrich acting up, Chang Ning wasn’t indulging him.
“Forget it, we agreed to live and die together. At a time like this, I, Paratrooper, won’t back down!”
The Paratrooper, with a face full of noble sacrifice, was righteous at this moment.
Alright, when it came to acting, the entire B Group had to look to Ostrich; that guy was all drama.
“No way, you have to bring me along!”
How could watching the drama miss her, Tong Youyou, especially this close-range gossip.
Anyway, she wouldn’t admit to being gossipy.
She, who had never dated from childhood to now, was very curious how others dated, especially two little Privates.
Would the two of them kiss?
If kissing, would they French kiss?
Tong Youyou, lost in thought, now had a face fully flushed red.
“Xiao Geng, what do you say?”
Chang Ning’s words drew everyone’s gazes to Geng Jihui.
Xiao Geng was B Group’s Team Leader; if he didn’t nod, they really couldn’t sneak off.
“What do I have to say? You’ve all unanimously approved.”
Poor Xiao Geng was once again swept up by public opinion.
Seeing Xiao Geng agree, everyone quickly signaled the Troop Transport Vehicle to stop and told the Driver to report their whereabouts truthfully to Gao Zhong Dui upon return.
Anyway, there were no training subjects today; studying anytime was fine, but gossiping about Xiao Zhuang—once this village passes, no more shop; had to seize the moment.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zhuang at the center of the event was completely unaware; he was receiving education from his girlfriend.
“Tell me, how did you end up assigned to the Warehouse as Warehouse Keeper?
Even going to a combat company as a cook would be fine.
I even bragged to my sisters that you became a Special Forces Soldier.”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhuang thought to himself that a combat company’s cook really couldn’t compare to him, a Special Forces Warehouse Keeper.
But he couldn’t tell Xiao Ying about this; it involved the Secrecy Order.
So he could only accept Xiao Ying’s criticism.
“Now it’s great; where do I put my face?”
At this point, Xiao Ying, really annoyed, pinched the soft flesh at Xiao Zhuang’s waist.
“Ouch~”
Feeling the pain, Xiao Zhuang dodged to the side.
Seeing Xiao Zhuang in pain, her anger subsided.
Just walking wasn’t fun, so seeing something in Xiao Ying’s hand, Xiao Zhuang asked: “What’s that you’re holding?”
“Guess.”
Xiao Ying smiled and didn’t answer Xiao Zhuang’s question right away.
“I can’t guess; my head’s full of tactical maneuvers and technical data now.”
“Alright, I’ll open it for you to see.”
Xiao Zhuang not guessing, she didn’t insist. She found a clean spot to sit and prepared to open the Gift Box.
Little did she know, as soon as she moved, Xiao Zhuang stopped her.
“Let’s go, change places.”
“What’s wrong with here? It’s pretty good.”
Facing Xiao Zhuang’s action, Xiao Ying was very puzzled.
As a Lone Wolf member, he had all Sentry Post positions near barracks memorized clearly.
Right behind him and Xiao Ying was a Sentry Post; dating here would mean being seen—how embarrassing.
Seeing Xiao Ying puzzled, Xiao Zhuang leaned in and whispered in her ear: “Someone’s here.”
“Someone? Where’s anyone?”
Hearing someone, Xiao Ying looked around, saw nothing, picked up a Stone, and threw it randomly in a direction.
Only heard a “clang,” the Stone hit the Sentry Post’s Steel Helmet.
Seeing he couldn’t hide, the Sentry Post simply stood up openly.
Seeing someone really not far away, Xiao Ying pulled Xiao Zhuang and fled.
Not long after they left, the Small Path where the Sentry Post was in Stealth was visited by a group—precisely B Group and Tong Youyou.
“Did you see Xiao Zhuang and a female soldier?” Chang Ning asked the empty Grass.
The Sentry Post told Chang Ning Xiao Zhuang’s direction, with a very odd expression, as if saying you guys really know how to play.
After bidding farewell to the Sentry Post, the group relied on excellent Reconnaissance skills to search the Jungle for traces left by Xiao Zhuang.
With help from these traces, Chang Ning and others really found Xiao Zhuang and his girlfriend near a small stream.
“Is there anything you can’t do?”
Though working at Wolf Fang, Tong Youyou didn’t actually participate in Actual Combat, so her knowledge of Chang Ning and others’ abilities was only hearsay.
Even seeing just the tip of the iceberg this time opened her eyes wide.
“Aside from not being able to give birth, we don’t know what else we can’t do.”
Chang Ning said seriously, making it hard to tell if he was showing off or stating facts.
“I think you’re showing off.”
Tong Youyou whispered, leaning next to Chang Ning.
Hearing Tong Youyou swear, this surprised Chang Ning greatly.
He thought someone of Tong Youyou’s background should be an excellent young woman who never swore.
Who would’ve thought a goddess-level figure like her also swore.
Could only say Chang Ning was mistaken; even little fairies fart in their sleep and go to the Toilet for stomachaches.
“You two keep it down; don’t let Xiao Zhuang hear.” Qiang Zi reminded.
Chang Ning made an OK gesture.
Not far away, Xiao Zhuang watched Xiao Ying open the Gift Box; once opened, the Cake revealed itself.
Compared to the Cake, Xiao Zhuang felt more heartbroken for Xiao Ying’s feet blistered from soaking in the stream after walking so far.
“How far did you walk!”
“Today is your birthday; you’re nineteen. Come make a wish.”
Looking at Xiao Ying’s smiling face before him, Xiao Zhuang would be a ghost if he wasn’t moved inside.
“Really envious; if a girl were willing to walk dozens of kilometers of Mountain Road to see me, I’d be moved too!”
Even though he’d seen this scene on TV, the immersive feeling was different.
The speaker meant nothing, but the listener took it to heart.
Hearing Chang Ning’s envious remark, Tong Youyou pondered.
“Xiao Zhuang’s girlfriend is a good girl.”
Lao Pao said from the side; he sincerely felt happy for Xiao Zhuang. If these two young ones made it, he’d bless them too.
Unfortunately, someone always ruined the atmosphere at times like this.
“That Cake in Xiao Zhuang’s hand looks delicious.”
Ostrich said, even swallowing some saliva.
“Eat eat eat, all you know is eat!”
Ostrich’s off-the-rails behavior even Xiao Geng couldn’t stand.
