99: Chapter 86 Gangs/Bustle 99: Chapter 86 Gangs/Bustle The night watch had ended.
———–
“Take these dicines with you and rember to apply them twice a day,” Zeng ili handed Chuxia two tubes of ointnt for promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis.
“Rember from now on, there are other ways to solve problems than just using your fists!”
“Yes!” Chuxia wouldn’t argue with such kind advice.
“Lin Chuxia…” Zeng ili paused and waved her hand, “Go back and rest early.
Don’t ss up the exam tomorrow.”
The exam she ntioned was on rules and regulations, the first test for the recruits.
“Yes!” Chuxia answered and retreated, feeling a bit puzzled inside.
She always felt that Zeng ili paid extra attention to her.
From the last selection to this gift of dicine…
“Chuxia…” When she was nearing the female dormitory area, Luo Xiaoqiong ca up with a worried face, “Did Captain Zeng scold you?”
“No.” Chuxia shook her head, feeling warmth in her heart, “Have you been waiting here all this ti?”
“Yes…” Luo Xiaoqiong pouted, “If I hadn’t been afraid of Captain Zeng finding out, why would I have run this far to wait?
There’s definitely a mole in our dorm; otherwise, how could Captain Zeng have found out about the fight so quickly?
Chuxia, we need to be more careful from now on.”
“Right, I know.”
“But Chuxia, you really impressed today.
I always thought you used to have a bad temper and only dared to be fierce with your family, and lately you weren’t even harsh with them anymore but seed like a lamb towards outsiders.
Whenever your Eldest Uncle’s Wife and your sister-in-law bullied you, you always acted so weak.
Today, you finally surprised , Chuxia.
Keep it up.
“The ek get bullied, the humble get ridden.
The more you endure and yield, the more so people will bully you.
If you truly stand firm, they actually beco afraid.
Losing doesn’t matter; I’m here for you.
Next ti you get into a fight, count in.
Today, I just didn’t react in ti, otherwise, Sun Shangi would definitely have turned into a pig’s head.
Let tell you, I really regret it now, humph, I’ll rember this…”
“Alright…” Listening to Luo Xiaoqiong getting more excited as she spoke, Chuxia quickly interrupted her, “Captain Zeng has already warned , fighting isn’t the only way to solve problems.
If today hadn’t been the first day of reporting, I probably would already be in solitary confinent.
Let’s try to avoid these situations as much as possible in the future.
It would be too embarrassing to be sent back, wouldn’t it?”
“So we just let them bully us?” Luo Xiaoqiong frowned unhappily.
“The regulations are not just for the two of us.
In the future, Sun Shangi won’t dare to behave like this.
Of course, if she really tries to crap on our heads, we can’t let her, right?”
Luo Xiaoqiong nodded, “That’s more like it.
Anyway, I’ll be with you through thick and thin.”
“Through thick and thin with ?” Chuxia laughed and shook her head, “If you really go through thick and thin with , the position of Squad Leader will grow ever distant for you.”
“Let it be distant then.
I can’t abandon you, my good friend, just to fight for the position of Squad Leader.
Besides, you shouldn’t be so lacking in confidence.
Although you’re physically weaker, you’re good at academics.
If you’re willing to try hard, not just , but even you could strive for the position of Squad Leader.”
“Spare .” Chuxia smiled bitterly and shook her head, “Can you imagine leading everyone in drill, then trailing behind half-dead exhausted?”
“Hehe…” Luo Xiaoqiong scratched her head and laughed, “True, that would be quite hard on you.
Then just do your best and don’t drag down.
I’ll compete for the position of Squad Leader, how does that sound?”
Chuxia nodded, “Okay, I’ll try my best not to drag you down.
Geez, two-faced much, saying she won’t abandon her good friend for the position of Squad Leader, but really, it’s just an excuse.
If she doesn’t get chosen, she’ll say it was for ; if she does, she’ll probably be overjoyed inside.”
“Chuxia, you’re too smart, how did you know I’m using you as a shield?” Luo Xiaoqiong giggled, “Well, people always need to find so reason, right?”
“Reason my foot, frenemy!”
“I’m actually a good friend, not a frenemy”
“Can a ‘good friend’ use you as a stepping stone?”
“A little sacrifice for occasionally isn’t too much to ask for, given I’ve always been so good to you, right?”
“…”
Their banter not only didn’t make Chuxia angry but rather ward her heart.
She really was fortunate.
In her ti, she had no such caring friend, clearly worrying about her ntal burden and intentionally saying such things to console her.
Thinking about it, Fat Auntie and Luo Gangshun might have been a bit selfish back then, but afterwards, they indeed did right by Lin Baohe and his spouse.
In hindsight, even if Luo Gangshun had taken the responsibility onto himself, it wouldn’t have changed the fact that Lin Baohe kept stuffing his pockets with grain.
The ultimate outco would have been punishnt for both.
Thus, in the years to follow, Luo Gangshun and his spouse wouldn’t have been able to help Lin Baohe either.
With this in mind, the little grudge Chuxia held against Fat Auntie truly dissipated.
Two people walked into the dormitory, and everyone’s gaze imdiately turned toward them.
Qiao Ningyi smiled at the two, “The washroom is about to close soon, you both should hurry and wash up.”
“Thank you.” The two said thanks, took their basins from under the bed, and headed to the washroom.
“Lin Chuxia, are you okay?” Liu ijun followed them out.
“I’m fine.” Chuxia shook her head and gave her a faint smile, “Thanks for your concern.”
“No need, no need…” Liu ijun said with a smile, waving her hand, “We’re comrades-in-arms, it’s only right to care for each other.”
“Did they say anything?” Luo Xiaoqiong asked curiously.
“When we returned, Sun Shangi just kept a grim face and said nothing, while Squad Leader Qiao just went about her business…” Liu ijun sighed, “I have a friend in another squad; their unit is quite united.
By the way, I heard from my friend that our squad is definitely a hidden dragon and crouching tiger; these days will surely be full of news.”
“What do you an by ‘hidden dragon and crouching tiger’?” Luo Xiaoqiong asked curiously.
“Yang Xiaoli’s father is the mayor of City A, her grandfather just retired from a gubernatorial post, and she also has two uncles who hold significant official positions.
Yuan ngng’s father heads the Agriculture Machinery Departnt, no wonder she tries so hard to buddy up to Yang Xiaoli.
Qi Jihong’s father is also a subordinate of Yang Xiaoli’s father, apparently the head of the Education Departnt.
You tell , could these people really be content under Squad Leader Qiao’s command?
I think tonight’s issue might have been sabotaged by them.
In the days to co, Squad Leader Qiao will have a hard ti.
Yang Xiaoli’s dominance is well-known; how could she simply play second to Squad Leader Qiao?”
“How do you know all this so clearly?” Chuxia asked, puzzled, after spitting out the mouthwash.
“In my friend’s squad, one of their comrades’ father is the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of City A.
He’s the top authority, and yet he’s overshadowed by Yang Xiaoli’s father.
She was upset about it, and so on the first day she had reported, she had given a clear account of Yang Xiaoli’s background.
I went to see my friend, just happened to hear about it, and asked a few more questions, hehe…”
Liu ijun felt a bit embarrassed by her own gossiping.
“It’s gods fighting; it has nothing to do with us mortals,” Chuxia spread her hands, “Squad Leader Qiao is definitely not a simple one, just watch.”
Luo Xiaoqiong nodded, “I noticed.
With her behavior, she’s definitely not a common farr’s child; I even think she boarded the bus halfway just to disguise her identity.”
“This only makes things ssier,” Liu ijun shook her head helplessly, “I just want to be a simple dical soldier; how did I end up in such a squad?”
“Didn’t Chuxia say it?
Gods fighting, it has nothing to do with mortals.
We just need to train well.
By the way…” Luo Xiaoqiong rested her hand on Liu ijun’s shoulder, “Why are you so nice to us?”
“I have to find myself a companion, right?
Yang Xiaoli’s clique, just at a glance, is not my type.
Squad Leader Qiao seems easy to talk to, but she keeps her distance from everyone.
Sun Shangi is too power-hungry, such people don’t need friends.
Lin ngran and Qu Xiaojing are very close and seem not to like others interfering in their relationship.
Your relationship with Qu Xiaojing might not be as close as Lin ngran’s, but the way you get along is different from theirs.
I believe as long as I’m well-intentioned, you wouldn’t mind having one more friend, right?”
Chuxia gave her a thumbs up, “You not becoming a psychologist is a real loss.”
“I actually studied psychology.
Did I tell you my grandfather was a psychologist?
But…” Liu ijun’s expression darkened a bit then she quickly changed the topic, “Let’s go back, otherwise the supervisor might co and chase us, which would be bad.”
The night passed without incident.
At five in the morning, the wakeup call sounded.
All the recruit squads were in chaos, although even at ho they had been early risers, who ever got up at five a.m.?
Chuxia, who had never gotten up before seven, covered her head with her quilt and dozed off again.
Luo Xiaoqiong, who was busily getting dressed, saw the bulging quilt on the leader’s bed remained motionless and beca anxious.
She bent over, patting the bulge, “Get up, get up, Chuxia, quickly get up!
It’s ti for morning exercise, you can’t be late; didn’t the captain say yesterday, hurry up…”
With her belt still undone and trousers a bit loose, Luo Xiaoqiong’s pants fell to her ankles, revealing her bare thighs…
The drowsy Chuxia, sitting up and seeing Luo Xiaoqiong struggle to pull up her trousers, imdiately woke up, wanting to laugh but afraid Luo Xiaoqiong would get angry, so she desperately tried to hold it in while putting on her clothes.
The more hurried she was, the more mistakes she made, accidentally wearing her clothes inside out, and had to hurriedly take them off to wear them correctly.
“Chuxia, hurry up,” Liu ijun called out and darted out, leaving only Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong in the room.
“You go out first, I’ll be ready in a mont.”
“Hurry up, stop dawdling,” Luo Xiaoqiong said while frantically helping Chuxia tidy her clothes.
