Xiao Gao joyously hopped out of the thatched cottage as he received Lu Xingzhiâs nod.
Jiang Yao, Liu Chao, and the rest were seated together in the tent. The two soldiers had already recovered from the morningâs shock. They called out to Jiang Yao when she returned.
âMiss Jiang, why does the Blue Teamâs leader always look for you in private?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHe doesnât look like a good person,â Liu Chao said after Jiang Yao entered.
âIs Hades Lu attempting to mislead you again?â the dumb soldier from the morning asked Jiang Yao. âLast night, it didnât work. Today, he realizes we are spies, so he is attempting to dupe you once more.â
Someone else stood up and shoved his comrade away. âI assume Colonel Lu must have observed your nice looks and used that reason to get near to you,â he said as he sat down alongside Jiang Yao. âMiss Jiang, please donât pretend you donât know anything the next time he asks you. Make up whatever you want, as long as you believe in it. Letâs see if he believes it!â
âYou are so bad!â The soldier, who was pushed aside, was not angry at all. He stretched his little finger outward and looked at his comrade with disdain. After a while, he changed his expression and said, âBut I like it bad.â
âRetard, go to the side!â After scolding his comrade, that person turned around and wanted to continue talking to Jiang Yao.
Finally, the person who was reprimanded was dissatisfied. âWho is retard?â he murmured as he kicked his comrade who had snatched his spot. âYou even said that Hades Lu admired Miss Jiangâs attractiveness. Did you think Hades Lu saw Miss Jiangâs real face? Who could tell if she was ugly or not?â
Jiang Yao noticed the two of them squabbling. Then, she shrugged and smiled at Liu Chao before leaving the tent.
Liu Chao chased after her and stopped Jiang Yao. Then, he brought Jiang Yao to an isolated corner.
âMiss Jiang.â Liu Chao said, but he did not speak the next sentence for a long time. He stuttered and hesitated for a few minutes before continuing to say, âMiss Jiang, you are Professor Ouyangâs assistant. Even though your medical skills may be better than all of us, you are still young. You may not understand some things, so I think I have to remind you that you must take care of your own safety. Although those soldiers are protecting the country, it is unkind of me to assume some peopleâs intentions, but one must be wary of others. Next time he calls for you alone, come and find me. I will go with you! â
Jiang Yao did not expect Liu Chao to say such things to her when he was alone. She was shocked. Then, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
âOkay, I got it.â Ouyang Chenrui was wrong. Professor Ouyangâs taste in students was not bad at all.
Perhaps everyone had minor issues, but those issues did not make the person good or bad.
After she said goodbye to Liu Chao, Jiang Yao returned to the tent. She did not know if Lu Xingzhi was busy or worried about the number of people there, but he did not show up when Jiang Yao went to bed. Instead, she saw her bottle and a lonely peach that had been washed.
Jiang Yao touched the peach and smiled gently. Then, she tidied the tent and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Lu Xingzhi had occupied the tent while they were training in the mountains, so it reeked of his odor.. His backpack remained in the corner.
