“Bang.” The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground suddenly sounded from the direction of the gate.
Xiao Jing came back to her senses, her eyes wide open in surprise, then her gaze slowly moved down, finally landing on her right cheek.
The captain’s hand was touching her face at close range, and he seemed to be doing it very enthusiastically.
Shen Chengfeng put down his hand calmly and turned to look outside the door.
Jiang Xin was in a dilemma. What should he do? He suddenly felt like something was stuck in his throat and he couldn’t say a word.
“Just say it if you have something to say.” Shen Chengfeng said to the soldiers standing still at the gate.
Jiang Xin stood up straight and replied in a resounding voice: “Captain, after three hours of uninterrupted training, should we practice diving?”
“What is Qi Yue’s role?” Shen Chengfeng asked back.
Jiang Xin was stunned, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but tremble with guilt. He felt that he was being silently targeted by the big boss.
Shen Chengfeng took two steps forward, his steps revealing a coldness that made people retreat. Finally, he stood in front of Jiang Xin, with only a fist’s distance between them.
“Gulp.” Jiang Xin swallowed his saliva and said hurriedly, “Yes, Captain. I will go find Instructor Qi right away.”
Before he could even finish his words, Jiang Xin disappeared without a trace. His speed was faster than any other training session, almost surpassing his best ever record in his life.
Shen Chengfeng closed the door in silence.
In the closed space, the atmosphere became quiet again.
Xiao Jing scratched the back of her head awkwardly and whispered, “Did the captain ask me to come here just to tell me this?”
Shen Chengfeng did not answer his question, but turned around and walked to the closet, opened the drawer and took out a box of medicine.
The medicine box was the same one from last time. Before Xiao Jing could finish her question, she saw her captain undressing in front of her in the closed space.
Haha, being frank and honest without any hesitation.
“Apply medicine.” Two concise and expressive words.
Xiao Jing walked forward with a helpless look on her face, picked up the medicine box, and complained in her heart: I take back my feelings of being touched just now, it turned out that you did it just to make me jealous and envy your eight-pack abs.
Shen Chengfeng closed his eyes. The wound felt slightly painful, but not too much.
Xiao Jing carefully lifted his hand, took a close look at the bloody wound, put a little ointment on her finger, and then gently applied it on the wound.
However, in just a blink of an eye, the thin layer of ointment on top was instantly swallowed up, leaving no residue.
“…” Xiao Jing blinked in disbelief and asked in astonishment: “Captain, what’s going on?”
“It’s still the same.” Shen Chengfeng seemed to have expected such a situation and put on his clothes without caring.
Xiao Jing stood there in a daze. Why did she feel like she was an elimination formula in his mind?
“I thought you were special, so special that the medicine would be effective when you applied it.” Shen Chengfeng said.
“…” He spoke as if she were a panacea, so she awkwardly pinched the remaining ointment on her fingertips.
Shen Chengfeng looked at the special medicine on the table and said, “You can go back now.”
“Captain, your wound—”
“I won’t die.” He still had that cold aura that kept people at a distance.
Xiao Jing swallowed the extra words and turned around to think about whether to try again, but the ointment really had no effect.
Shen Chengfeng looked at his back as he left, raised his hand and tightly grasped the medicine box. He seemed to have the answer in his mind.
Sure enough, the previous two times were not luck, nor were they the result of his second brother’s research.
Xiao Jing walked out of the office, looked up at the sunlight pouring in through the window, and touched her head. Was he just going to let her captain fend for himself?
After all, he had awarded her a second-class merit. Should she pretend to be hypocritical and ask him if she should try applying the ointment again?
Shen Chengfeng looked at the little figure who had come back, then still maintaining the original action, sitting motionless on the chair, he asked: “Anything else?”
Xiao Jing nodded and said, “Captain, I can help you try again.”
“No need, go back and get ready first, and we’ll meet at the back mountain in an hour.”
“Back mountain?”
“Yes, diving.”
“…” Xiao Jing felt that her life might be in danger if she went to the gathering, and wondered how she could find a reason to avoid it.
“You don’t have to think of any tricks. As long as you’re still alive, you have to go into the water today.” The unquestionable strong voice sounded again.
Xiao Jing frowned and decided to withdraw her concern for him.
“You can go out now.” Shen Chengfeng threw the medicine box directly into the trash can.
Xiao Jing stared at the discarded medicine box with a sharp gaze and said angrily: “That medicine is quite effective.”
“It doesn’t work for me.” Shen Chengfeng sat back at his desk and began to handle his official business.
Xiao Jing chose to quietly push the door open and walk out, walking in the empty corridor. From time to time, she looked back at the tightly closed office door and couldn’t help knocking her big head. He was torturing himself, so what did it have to do with her?
Xiao Jing stopped, but why did she feel uncomfortable? It was like a needle suddenly stuck in her show, and no matter what she did, she felt uncomfortable.
“Dong dong dong.” The sound of powerful footsteps came from the corridor.
Xiao Jing glanced at it disapprovingly at first, but suddenly her expression became stern.
Xiao Zheng had a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. He was wearing a military uniform and his military boots stepped on the wooden floor, bringing with them sounds like the last gasps of a dying man, as if he would kick through in the next moment.
“Third brother?” Xiao Jing called softly.
Xiao Zheng put out the cigarette in the trash can, looked at the familiar figure five meters away, and nodded.
“Third brother, why are you here?” Xiao Jing looked him up and down several times. The more she looked, the more she felt that he seemed to be here to fight.
“Came to chat with your captain, you can go back to your dormitory.” Xiao Zheng walked forward and passed by her.
Xiao Jing asked in surprise: “What do you need to talk about with the captain?”
“This is a conversation between parents, you don’t need to ask.” Xiao Zheng refused her to follow.
Xiao Jing smiled bitterly, “What does Third Brother mean by this?”
“It is a conversation between leaders, concerning confidential information, and you are not qualified to participate.” Xiao Zheng changed his words.
Xiao Jing curled her lips when she saw the other party push the door open directly, then close the door and refuse visitors, and even lock it.
She just lay on the door, trying to hear some conversation from inside this anti-theft door made of special materials, but unfortunately she could hear nothing.
Shen Chengfeng raised his eyes, and the look in his eyes did not seem to be affected by who the visitor was, as calm as ever.
Xiao Zheng clenched his fists and looked at Shen Chengfeng, whose clothes were a little disheveled. For some reason, his forehead felt hot.
“General Xiao Zheng seems to be trying to talk to me with his fists.” Shen Chengfeng crossed his hands and placed them on the table, staring at the man who was full of hostility calmly.
Xiao Zheng suppressed the fire burning in his heart and said, “Mr. Shen has been quite free recently. Not only does he have time to train the new recruits himself, he also takes them on missions with him.”
“It seems like it’s all for Xiao Jing.”
“I just want to know your purpose.” Xiao Zheng asked straight to the point, “Is it because she is the fourth son of our Xiao family?”
“When did I, Shen Chengfeng, need to consider family background when dealing with people?” Shen Chengfeng asked back.
“Then why are you so obsessed with her? Maybe you think my little fourth is pretty and that’s why you have that kind of feeling towards her?” Xiao Zheng’s tone was deep, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke, “You’d better take back your dirty thoughts.”
“I find this sentence particularly familiar. Thinking about it carefully, General Xiao Yu seems to have said it to me as well. I found that since Xiao Jing came to my Iron Eagle, your Xiao family has been particularly fond of visiting me recently. Little did I know that this good-for-nothing Fourth Young Master is still the treasure of your Xiao family.”
“It’s not the place for outsiders to point fingers at our Xiao family.” Xiao Zheng glared.
“Yes, it is also not the place for outsiders to tell me what to do with my, Shen Chengfeng’s soldiers.”
“What exactly do you want? What do you want from my Xiao family? Tell me, as long as I’m the one making the decision, I’ll allow you to do it. But after this, I’m going to take Xiao Jing away.”
Shen Chengfeng placed one arm on the chair and looked at the other person with a deeper gaze. He said, “General Xiao Zheng, what do you think I can do to your family?”
Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes, “Huh?”
“The Shen family’s prestige and military strength in the empire are not inferior to the Xiao family.”
“Then why do you bully my little four like this?”
“I’m not bullying him. I’m training a good soldier for your Xiao family.”
Xiao Zheng clenched his fists and shouted, “We in the Xiao family don’t need help from outsiders. I can train her myself.”
“But unfortunately, he is already my soldier. I don’t like others to keep my things in mind.”
“When did she become yours?” Xiao Zheng slammed his fist on the table. “I don’t like to hear this because I have a bad temper. How did the fourth son of our Xiao family become yours, Shen Chengfeng?”
“It’s not mine, but it’s mine.”
“…” He felt like he was gonna fu**ing beat him up.
Shen Chengfeng continued: “If General Xiao Zheng has nothing else to say, you can leave.”
“Do you really want to fight with our Xiao family?” Xiao Zheng stared fiercely at the stubborn bast**d in front of him.
Shen Chengfeng raised his head again, and their eyes met. Then he said, “It seems that I didn’t deliberately cause trouble in this whole incident. It’s you people from Xiao family who always like to come to my Iron Eagle to cause trouble. Do you know what happened to the War Wing Team and the Sky Pigeon Team? Maybe you, Zhenghu, also want to experience the taste of being wiped out.”
“Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Xiao Zheng sneered, “I’m telling you, I accept your challenge. After three days, you and I will fight a singles match!”
Shen Chengfeng raised his hand in silence and deliberately waved it in front of Xiao Zheng.
“To be fair, you must wear gloves.” Xiao Zheng said again.
“I accept your challenge.” Shen Chengfeng said bluntly.
Xiao Zheng stood up straight, with his head held high and a proud smile on his face, “If Mr. Shen loses, he can no longer stop me from taking Xiao Jing away.”
“If General Xiao Zheng loses, Xiao Jing will be mine in life and my ghost in death.”
“Okay.” Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment. With a “bang”, he slammed his hands heavily on the table, his eyes were red with anger, and he asked, “Why?”
“A gentleman’s word is his bond, and a soldier’s promise, even moreso. General Xiao Zheng, are you trying to go back on your word?” Shen Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at him intently.
Xiao Zheng clenched his fists, “Okay, I promise you, don’t play dirty tricks on me when the time comes, otherwise, don’t blame me for biting you back.”
“I am a gentleman.”
Xiao Zheng opened the door of his office, and a head rushed towards him. He instinctively raised his head and grabbed it.
Xiao Jing’s mouth twitched slightly, then she raised her head and blinked, looking at her head being held in her third brother’s hand, she grinned, smiling innocently, “Third brother.”
Xiao Zheng let go of her little head, stretched out a finger and poked it gently, saying: “Do you want to eavesdrop?”
“Ahem.” Xiao Jing covered her mouth and coughed lightly, feeling guilty. “From the look on your face just now, I thought you were here to fight.”
“I do want to fight, but the army has regulations that if you fight in private, you will be put in solitary confinement, so I plan to fight him openly, in front of all the soldiers from both our armies. So, I challenged him.”
“…” Xiao Jing wondered whether she should remind her third brother to do things within his ability.
Xiao Zheng raised his hand and placed it on Xiao Jing’s shoulder, laughing loudly, “Little Four, do you think that Third Brother will definitely win the first battle and beat Shen Chengfeng so badly that he won’t know where to go, hahahaha.”
Xiao Jing smiled and said, “The captain is very capable.”
“He is nothing but an embroidered pillow. He usually uses those hands to scare us. We agreed not to take off the gloves this time. Without those hands, Shen Yanwang is nothing but a wandering soul. I can beat him to death with just one finger.”
Xiao Jing thought about it and decided not to pour a basin of cold water on her third brother. What if her third brother couldn’t figure it out and got excited and strangled her hard? She would probably be strangled to death on the spot.
“Little Four.” Xiao Zheng stopped laughing and asked seriously, “Who is better in your opinion, Third Brother or Shen Chengfeng?”
Xiao Jing saw the crisis in his eyes and eyebrows. If she told the truth at this time, she would probably be beaten black and blue by his sandbag-like fist, or even her life would be in danger.
In the face of life and death, it was understandable to say things blindly.
Without hesitation, she said earnestly, “Of course my third brother is the best. He is a fierce tiger in the army.”
“Hahaha.” Xiao Zheng excitedly grabbed Xiao Jing’s neck again, and said arrogantly, “What nonsense are you talking about? But your Third brother is indeed the most powerful.”
“Third brother, you’re going to strangle me to death.” Xiao Jing used all her strength to pry open the arm that was as thick as her thigh. She coughed a few times and said, “Do you really want to compete with the captain?”
“How can a soldier go back on his word?” Xiao Zheng stood in front of the car, smacking his lips. “Just think about the scene at that time, Shen Chengfeng lying dormant at my feet, barely surviving. Hahaha, I feel happy just thinking about it.”
“…”
Haha, it’s really good to have a dream.
“Third brother is going back.” Xiao Zheng got into the car but suddenly pushed it open and walked out ahain.
Xiao Jing didn’t understand what he meant by this, but when she saw the bag he handed over, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly snatched it and held it in her arms, fearing that she would be seen by bystanders.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, “Eat it, it’s just out of the oven.”
“Uh-huh.”
Xiao Zheng sat back in the car, turned the car around, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove away.
Xiao Jing stood at the foot of the building and was about to run back to the dormitory with her roast duck in her arms, but after taking two steps she stopped in a hurry. She took two steps back and looked at the stairs that were close at hand.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Shen Chengfeng looked at the shy figure outside the door with an expressionless face.
After hesitating, Xiao Jing entered the office and closed the door.
Shen Chengfeng spoke first, “Do you have anything else to say?”
Xiao Jing walked forward and took out the bag behind him, “My third brother brought it for me.”
Shen Chengfeng stared at the roast duck that seemed to be still steaming. The aroma of meat in the air became stronger and stronger. He said, “It is taboo to eat foreign food without permission. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Captain, I bring this to you with good intentions. Let’s eat together.” After saying that, Xiao Jing pulled out a duck leg and handed it forward.
“Shouldn’t this be given to Mu Xichi?”
“What does he know? It will be a waste of food for him to eat roast duck.”
Shen Chengfeng looked at the duck leg he handed to him persistently, took it and took a bite, “Don’t do it again.”
“Yes, Captain.” Xiao Jing brought a chair and pulled out the other leg as well.
The strong smell of meat lingered throughout the office.
Xiao Jing packed away the bones, wiped her mouth, and smiled contentedly, “Captain, I’m going back.”
Shen Chengfeng looked at the back of the person who was leaving with his two hooves jumping without saying a word. When the door closed gently, the corners of his calm mouth could not help but rise a little, and he laughed, and laughed out loud.
“Knock knock knock.” There was a light knock on the office door again, and the next moment someone pushed the door open and walked in.
Shen Chengfeng put away the smile on his face, looked sluggish, and stared at the person outside the door with sullen eyes.
Qi Yue was holding a folder in his hand and was suddenly glared at. So, he felt a little uneasy. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the sun outside the window. The weather was very good today, so why did he feel that his general was gloomy and seemed to be a little upset?
“What’s the matter?” Shen Chengfeng asked in a low voice.
“They first conducted a diving and breath-holding test. This is their first report card.” Qi Yue moved his nose and the office was filled with a fragrance, which seemed to be the smell of Xu Ji’s roast duck.
Shen Chengfeng still had a stern face and said sternly, “Anything else?”
Qi Yue shook his head and frowned, “Captain, did you eat anything just now?”
“Do I look like I’ve eaten?” Shen Chengfeng asked again.
Qi Yue was silent. Could you please wipe your mouth before you say that?
Shen Chengfeng wiped his mouth nonchalantly, turned on the computer, called up the document, and continued: “I will personally supervise the assessment later.”
