So thirsty and hungry!
But seeing so many people in need of help, she rallied, quickly adjusting her weary state, taking a deep breath, she was full of energy.
=========================
The soldiers in the field were equally weary, thirsty, and hungry. But seeing the local populace’s property preserved brought a relieved smile to their faces. When they withdrew, the locals spontaneously stood by the roadside, thanking the Peacekeeping Engineers Corps for their rescue. To help the disaster-stricken people through the hard tis, the Peacekeeping Engineers Corps also donated so food to them. Local governnt officials made a special trip to the Engineers’ camp to express their gratitude.
Gu Shaocheng returned to the camp with the Corps’ vehicles. The heavy rain had temporarily stopped. Yan Fengchi was mingling with the troops while he hurried towards the Arican peacekeeping forces.
Yan Fengchi quickly ran over, an arm around his shoulder, reminding him: "Bro, we’re all tired today. Why not go find Chenxing tomorrow instead? She must be pretty tired. Seeing you all of a sudden, she might get sick from the shock."
"Am I that scary?" Gu Shaocheng’s aura turned imposing all of a sudden, enough to give anyone shivers.
As if that tone wasn’t frightening enough?
Yan Fengchi smothered a laugh. Gu Shaocheng was montarily confused, "What’s so funny? Am I really that scary?"
"Go look in the mirror yourself and see. Okay, forget I said anything. Think about how you’re going to retract this scary expression when you et, and how you’re to coax Chenxing." Yan Fengchi patted his shoulder a couple of tis.
Gu Shaocheng turned his head: "Should I interpret this as you relishing in my misfortune?"
"No way!" He quickly let go of Gu Shaocheng and made a swift exit.
Gu Shaocheng narrowed his eyes, huffing. He walked over to a mirror on the window to examine himself, frowning tightly. He gave an exasperated laugh, groaningly changing his route. He murmured that he should at least wash up rather than appearing in such a sorry state, covered in mud and soaking wet.
Conditions at the camp were tough. Everyone was washing up in basins by a water trough. Gu Shaocheng was not unused to discomfort. But he had indeed been living like an emperor these past few years, he wasn’t accustod to pouring water on himself with a basin in a water trough. He imdiately thought of Chenxing- where did she usually bathe?
He was peevish just thinking about it.
Yan Fengchi, having been with the military for so many years, was used to everything. He was even washing up twice as fast as him. Hanging out idly by a doorpost, he took out a cigarette, lit it with a hiss, took a drag, and said, "Bro, there’s sothing..."
Gu Shaocheng looked at him obliquely, teasing, "Did you sleep with so girl?"
Yan Fengchi was simply saying sothing, but hadn’t expected such a response from Gu Shaocheng. He imdiately perked up. Could it be a prophecy? His bro could read minds.
"No, no... It’s not what you think, I swear, I was the one who got slept with by Chenxing’s cousin," He had barely gotten halfway through when he saw the disbelief on Gu Shaocheng’s dewy face. He imdiately took another deep drag of his cigarette, "I’m telling the truth. I thought her driving skills were good, so once I challenged her to a car race. We got a little excited after the race that night, and everyone had a bit too much to drink, then... I swear, she was the one who slept with !"
