“Second Lieutenant Xiao.” Lin Qi stood under the shade of a tree and waved to Xiao Jing who was talking to herself.
Xiao Jing stood up and saw that he was greeting her. She ran over and asked, “Is there anything wrong with Lieutenant Colonel Lin?”
Lin Qi looked around and after making sure that no one was paying attention to them, he carefully stuffed the big steamed buns he had hidden into Xiao Jing’s hand, then he grinned with an honest look on his face.
Xiao Jing buried her head and looked at the steamed buns that were still warm in her palm, and smiled: “Did you steal it for me?”
“Eat quickly, there will be training in the afternoon, how can you survive without eating something?” Lin Qi stood in front of her and looked around to make sure that no one disturbed Xiao Jing’s meal behind him.
Xiao Jing gnawed on the white steamed buns like she was swallowing dates. It tasted delicious as never before, just like Xu Ji’s roast duck, which melted in her mouth.
Seeing that she was satisfied after eating, Lin Qi took out a bottle of water from his pocket and whispered: “Don’t be anxious, eat slowly, be careful not to choke.”
Xiao Jing raised her hand and clenched it into a fist and pressed it lightly. She leaned on Lin Qi’s shoulder and smiled: “If it weren’t for you, I’d probably starve to death.”
“What nonsense are you saying? We are comrades in arms. Even if it’s against the rules, I can’t just watch our Second Lieutenant Xiao train while hungry.”
Xiao Jing took a sip of water and was about to continue eating the buns when her hand suddenly stopped.
Lin Qi didn’t know what the panic in her eyes meant, so he turned around and glanced in the direction she was looking.
Shen Chengfeng stood five meters away from the two of them, his eyes falling directly on Xiao Jing’s delicious steamed buns.
Xiao Jing’s heart skipped a beat, and she stuffed all the steamed buns into her mouth in one gulp, trying to destroy the evidence. However, she found herself choking before she could swallow them.
“Cough cough, cough cough.” Xiao Jing hammered her heart and wanted to pour water in a hurry, but was afraid of spitting it out after pouring it in, so she choked the steamed bun in.
Shen Chengfeng still stood motionless on the spot, staring at the two people who were working together unblinkingly.
Lin Qi trotted over and stood up straight, “Captain.”
“I remember that as the last person’s punishment, he was to get no food today. Why did you knowingly commit a crime?” Shen Chengfeng automatically ignored the choking little body and turned his gaze on Lin Qi’s upright body.
Lin Qi replied: “He is my comrade-in-arms.”
“So you stupidly violated my rules?”
“I just-“
“Your excuse is not convincing. Since you keep saying that he is your comrade-in-arms, then you will accept the punishment together with your comrade.” Shen Chengfeng glanced at Xiao Jing who had finally swallowed it and pointed at the training ground in Area B behind him, “Three hours of non-stop training.”
“Captain, it’s my wrong, Lieutenant Colonel Lin——”
“Four hours.” Shen Chengfeng interrupted Xiao Jing’s unnecessary nonsense.
Xiao Jing gritted her teeth and held her mouth shut.
“Let’s get started.” Shen Chengfeng glanced at the time to make sure what time it was.
Lin Qi turned around and ran straight to the training base without saying a word.
“Still not taking action?” Shen Chengfeng glared at Xiao Jing, who seemed to be making some small calculations, and emphasized his tone.
“Yes, sir.” Xiao Jing turned around and ran into the training ground with small steps.
The sun was so scorching that it evaporated all the moisture in the earth like a fireball. There seemed to be the smell of Mars in the air, making people feel dry.
Lin Qi hung on the horizontal bar, looking at Xiao Jing who was becoming increasingly powerless, and whispered: “Can you still hold on?”
Xiao Jing nodded, “Yes, I will certainly be able.”
Lin Qi held him up and almost fell down. “Take your time and control your balance.”
Xiao Jing just lay on the wooden pile, her vision blurred by sweat. She felt that her heartbeat had begun to beat wildly, and she would break through her flesh and jump out at any time.
“Lieutenant Colonel Lin, Second Lieutenant Xiao.” The young officer trotted into the training area and said hurriedly: “The captain said you can disband.”
Xiao Jing turned over and rolled directly off the pile. She felt that everything she breathed out was a heat wave.
Lin Qi frowned slightly, it seemed like only an hour had passed.
The young officer affirmed again: “The captain asked Second Lieutenant Xiao to go to his dormitory. Lieutenant Colonel Lin, you can go back to your dormitory to rest.”
