"The ’One, Two, Three, Four Song’?" Mu Xingfeng couldn’t recall ever hearing of such a song. Though he had been here for quite a while, he rarely sang. Even if he had heard those military songs, they never really stayed with him.
"Yeah, Lin Junyang’s been missing sowhere since yesterday. If he were around, we would’ve rehearsed already. Captain, would you like to join us?" Ding Liang continued.
"Yeah, Captain, with you on board, we’ll surely win an award this ti! Those other guys can’t even compare to a finger of yours," He Qing chid in from the side.
As the two bantered back and forth, Captain Tao grew dissatisfied, "Hey, hey, you two. Even if you’re flattering your captain, there’s no need to belittle others, right? What’s wrong with our chorus? I think it’s great, very powerful indeed."
However, Mu Xingfeng had no interest in their flattery and looked at Ding Liang and He Qing as if they were idiots, "I have a wife, why would I want to perform with you guys?"
Well, their flattery failed, and instead, they got a mouthful of reality to chew on, leaving a lasting psychological mark on Ding Liang and He Qing.
Haha, you’re the captain, whatever makes you happy.
Chief Guard Wang chuckled from the side, "You two should hear that, right? Better hurry up and find yourselves a wife. In more ways than one, you should really learn from your captain. Not only does he excel in all the skills of the Guard Team, but he also gives the leadership no reason to worry about his personal life."
Ding Liang pouted, "Chief Guard Wang makes it sound easy. If finding a wife was that simple, it would be great. Now, how many girls are interested in being with a soldier? My family asked soone to set up with soone, but as soon as they heard I was in the military, they imdiately rejected , not even bothering to et. All they say is, ’Poor soldier, no—mo—ney!’ "
Emphasizing the last three words, Ding Liang dragged them out, full of self-mockery.
"Exactly, my previous relationship ended because I was away with the Guard Team and couldn’t go ho often. Ultimately, we’re just waiting for the Guard Team to hand out wives to us," He Qing laughed along facetiously.
"You punks, if the Guard Team handed out wives, you’d all be over the moon!" Chief Guard Wang laughed and cursed as he stood up, "I’m going ho to check on my wife. She ntioned wanting to perform with for the fellow soldiers, and I disagreed before. But after hearing Xingfeng’s suggestion, I might just change my mind."
"Chief Guard Wang, treating your subordinates this way, doesn’t your conscience hurt?" Ding Liang asked woefully.
Chief Guard Wang marched out of the hall, waving his hand, as if to physically demonstrate that his conscience was perfectly untroubled.
At this mont, Li Dajun, alongside his three squad leaders, finished their performance. His simple face could hardly conceal his excitent, "Captain Mu, you’ve co over? How was our program? Wasn’t it grandiose?"
Mu Xingfeng nodded, "Not bad, quite grandiose."
Upon hearing Mu Xingfeng’s words, Li Dajun was even more excited, "I knew it! As soldiers, we should sing these powerful songs. Don’t look down on us rough n; we have passionate hearts too."
Just as Captain Li finished speaking, an earth-shattering roar pierced the air.
"We—soldiers—, what’s so different..."
"By the way, Captain, do you know where Lin Junyang went? He didn’t sneak off to rehearse on his own, did he?" Ding Liang asked.
