"Boss, how on earth is your brain wired? All five of us tead up and still couldn’t beat you, it’s just too disheartening." Ma Chong muttered as he stuck more notes on his face, nearly running out of space.
After the eting in the evening, Ma Chong, Shao Bo, Wang Song, and the other two instructors, Li Qian and Niu Xiaobing, shalessly stayed in Ye Xuan’s room, insisting on playing poker.
They played every man for themselves, aning no teams, hit whoever you want. All five ganged up against Ye Xuan, but now, Ye Xuan’s face is clean, while all five of them had their faces covered in notes.
Shao Bo snorted, "Ma Chong, it was your brilliant idea, saying we could surely cover the boss’s face with notes, but look what happened?"
Ma Chong sighed heavily, "Boss is just superhuman. From now on, I’ll spare myself the humiliation."
Ye Xuan glanced over at them, their faces obscured by notes, and couldn’t help but smirk, "Still want to play? There’s no space left on your faces."
"Play!" Ma Chong nodded earnestly: "I won’t be content until we’ve beaten the boss at least once."
"Forget it, by your logic, we won’t fulfill our wish even if we stay up all night." Shao Bo packed the cards back into the box, "Let’s just chat, stop torturing ourselves."
"Agreed!" Wang Song nodded in approval, hesitated a bit, then looked at Ye Xuan, "Boss, I want to request marriage leave after this mission, please help out."
"No problem, congratulations!" Ye Xuan patted him, "Don’t worry, even if I don’t help, Captain Jiang would approve it."
"Hehe..." Wang Song chuckled sheepishly: "I know Captain Jiang would approve it, but actually, I was hoping to invite you to attend my wedding. I’m one of your trained soldiers after all!"
Ye Xuan thought for a mont: "You know the nature of our work. I’ll definitely be there unless there’s a special mission, okay?"
"Okay, having your word is good enough for ." Wang Song was delighted.
Shao Bo and Ma Chong flanked Wang Song, one on each side: "Now that you’ve spoken to the boss, it’s our turn. When did you start dating? Why didn’t we know?"
"How could I bring it up if you guys didn’t ask?" Wang Song’s face turned a bit awkward.
Ma Chong slapped Wang Song’s forehead: "Stop making excuses. You should have reported this kind of thing voluntarily. What, looking for trouble? Say, where’s the girl from? How did you hook up? Is she pretty? Fat or slim? Is she good-tempered? Does she respect her parents?"
Wang Song grumbled discontentedly: "Even my parents didn’t ask this many questions!"
"Guys, let’s rough him up a bit, so of us have missed the beautiful ’shell’ of the crab for a long ti." Ma Chong waved, and the amused Li Qian and Niu Xiaobing joined him.
"No! No! No!" Wang Song quickly begged for rcy: "I’ll talk, isn’t that enough..."
Ye Xuan watched his brothers make a ruckus without intervening. It’s rare for the brothers to gather like this; this military training selection was a sort of disguised holiday for everyone.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking at the door. Ye Xuan slightly frowned and got up to open the door. Wang Song, who was in the middle of speaking, quickly shut up, and Ma Chong swallowed, "Hearing that knocking thod, could it be..."
Shao Bo looked at the ti, "It’s almost nine, really? Guys, if it’s that woman, none of you are allowed to leave, stay here and back the boss!"
"Of course!" The others whispered in agreent.
Ye Xuan opened the door, only to see Lady Luo standing there, with fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose and a look of urgency.
"Luo Ye, what’s wrong?" Ye Xuan’s expression turned solemn, knowing her well enough to tell that sothing serious must have happened for her to look this way.
"I..." Just as she was about to speak, spotting Ma Chong and the others making faces at each other, Luo Ye quickly stopped and greeted, "Hello, instructors!"
"Luo Ye, hello! You’ve got great gun skills!"
"Luo Ye, hello! You perford really well today!"
"Luo Ye, hello! Haha... haha..."
...
The guys dryly complinted her, their eyes darting between Luo Ye and Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan glared at them, "Get back to your rooms!"
"Yes, boss!" The guys chuckled as they got up, pushing and shoving each other out the door. Just as Ye Xuan was about to close the door, Ma Chong stuck his head in, winked mysteriously at the boss: "Boss, hehe... ouch..." The door slamd shut, unfortunately catching soone’s head.
"Heartless, such a big lump..." Ma Chong’s voice faintly ca through. Normally, Luo Ye would banter with Ye Xuan, but she was too anxious now, urgently grabbing Ye Xuan’s arm, "My phone was confiscated, let use yours."
