Lin Qi paced back and forth around the office, and from time to time he would think about whether he should lie down at the door to listen to the noise inside, but he felt that eavesdropping like this was a bit inappropriate, so he could only walk back and forth uneasily.
“Crack.” Xiao Jing walked out of the office holding a pile of bread.
“Xiao Jing, what’s wrong?” Lin Qi saw him appear and ran up to him hurriedly.
Xiao Jing nodded and gave the bread in his pocket to Lin Qi and the others and said with a smile: “It’s been solved.”
Lin Qi looked at the bread in his hand and frowned, “Did the captain give it to you?”
“No, the captain told me to throw it away. It’s not expired yet. It would be a shame to throw it away, so I ate it instead.”
Lin Qi couldn’t help but smile, “I guess you’re the only one in the team who dares to take food from the captain.”
Xiao Jing stirred the bread in her mouth, puffed her lips, and spoke incoherently, “I didn’t take it myself. The captain asked me to throw it away.”
“The shelf life of this bread is only ten days, and he thought it expired in eight days.” Lin Qi pointed out.
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, and quickly swallowed the bread in his mouth, staring at him: “The captain is really rich and powerful. He won’t even eat the food that is two days short of expiry? But he gave me 200 yuan in funding last time I went on a mission. It turns out that he only treats me harshly.”
Lin Qi hesitated to speak. He felt that given Lieutenant Xiao’s train of thought, explaining things in too complicated a way would only make it more confusing.
Xiao Jing returned to the dormitory and searched through all the drawers before she found her spare white strips. She hurriedly took off her thick coat and wrapped the strips around her chest one by one.
“Knock knock knock.” A soft knock on the door came from outside.
Xiao Jing put on her clothes in a panic and asked hurriedly, “What’s the matter?”
“My Second Lieutenant Xiao is back?” Lian Qing heard the response from inside and pushed the door open.
Xiao Jing stared at Lian Qing who had come uninvited, and asked in surprise: “Why are you here again?”
Lian Qing proudly shook the exchange notice n his hand and said, “There is an instruction from above to send officers from various major units to the special operations team for a week of exchange and study.”
“I’ve only heard of schools needing exchange students, but I’ve never heard of special forces being so perfunctory.”
Lian Qing sat on the chair and said with a smile: “I thought you would still be recovering in the hospital this time, but I didn’t expect to hear that you were back just after getting off the car. What a coincidence, how about we stay together?”
After saying that, Lian Qing strode to the outside of the dormitory and walked in with his small luggage in a swagger.
Xiao Jing held down his suitcase and said, “No, the special forces have their own rules. You cannot sleep in my room without instructions.”
“Those rules and regulations are just to fool people.” Lian Qing prepared to stuff his suitcase into Xiao Jing’s closet without hesitation.
Xiao Jing tried her best to prevent him from succeeding.
The two of them were in a stalemate while going back and forth.
“What are you doing?” Pei Yi stood outside the door, looking at the two people pushing and pulling each other in the room, and spoke to break the stalemate.
“Lieutenant Colonel Pei, you’ve come just in time. You don’t have to arrange a dormitory for me. I’ll just squeeze in with Second Lieutenant Xiao. Anyway, we’ve been comrades for several years and we’re used to sleeping together.”
“Wait, what do you mean you’re used to sleeping here? I don’t want to sleep with you, deputy captain, I want to change rooms.” Xiao Jing pushed away Lian Qing who was standing in front of her.
Pei Yi looked through the dormitory record sheet and said bluntly, “People from various major units will be coming in one after another in the next two days. The dormitories are tight. I was planning to arrange for a team member to stay with you, but since you are familiar with the company captain, you two can live together.”
Xiao Jing smiled bitterly, “Do we really need to live together?”
“It’s just a few days. You guys pack up, I’ll go arrange another dormitory.” Pei Yi was about to turn around and leave, but just after taking two steps, he saw someone standing outside the door and quickly stood up, “Captain.”
Shen Chengfeng walked into the dormitory nonchalantly, lowered his eyes to glance at the suitcase on the ground, and said, “I just got the news that the captain is coming. I’m sorry that I don’t have time to arrange a dormitory for you.”
“Captain Shen, there’s no need to make arrangements for me. I’m used to making do and can sleep in any corner.” Lian Qing said as he went to the bed. With his height of 1.85 meters, he curled up in the 1.2-meter single bed, taking up more than half of the bed by himself.
“…” Xiao Jing’s mouth twitched slightly. If you lie like this, where should I lie?
Lian Qing patted the spot beside him and said with a smile: “Second Lieutenant Xiao, what are you doing standing there? Lie down next to me. Don’t worry, I will hold you tight to sleep at night and won’t let you fall off the bed accidentally.”
“…”
Lian Qing lay on the pillow and suddenly frowned, “Didn’t you wash your hair? Why does it smell so bad?”
Xiao Jing hurriedly grabbed her pillow and snorted coldly, “If you dislike me, go sleep in the playground.”
“No, I will never dislike my Second Lieutenant Xiao even if I dislike anyone. You are my heart, my liver, my sweetheart.”
“After all, the captain of the company came to my special forces to learn and practice. As a distinguished guest, how can he sleep with a young soldier? Lest people misunderstand that my special forces don’t know the ways of the world, you go to my dormitory to rest for a few days.” Shen Chengfeng turned to Pei Yi and said, “Go and make arrangements and bring my things over.”
“Yes, Captain.” Pei Yi saluted and prepared to leave, but suddenly his expression froze. He turned around, frowned, and asked uncertainly, “Captain, did you ask me to bring your things here?”
“Is there a problem?” Shen Chengfeng asked instead of answering.
Pei Yi shook his head, “No problem, no problem.”
“Captain Lian, please follow Pei Yi. He will take you to my dormitory.” Shen Chengfeng looked down at Lian Qing who was not going to move.
Lian Qing shuddered under his gaze, as if something was poking his spine desperately. He swallowed, sat up without his hands and feet listening to his brain, then dragged his suitcase and followed Pei Yi out the door.
Xiao Jing stood there awkwardly, feeling torn. There were things she wanted to say but was afraid to say them.
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Shen Chengfeng broke the silence.
Xiao Jing coughed lightly, “Captain, is what you just said true?”
“Do you think I’m joking?” Shen Chengfeng asked again.
Xiao Jing shook her head stiffly. She was unsure of the thoughts of this moody leader, so she said cautiously, “Don’t bother with that. The captain and I have been comrades for several years after all. He is a person–“
“You want a third person to know your secret? Huh?”
“No.” Xiao Jing lowered her head and muttered, “My bed is too small.”
“You sleep on the floor.” The man’s voice was strong and domineering, with an unquestionable tone of affirmation.
You sleep on the floor, you sleep on the floor, you sleep on the floor!
F**k you, you’re a grown man and you let such a delicate girl sleep on the floor, don’t you feel guilty?
Shen Chengfeng noticed her eye attack, looked up, and their eyes met.
Xiao Jing silently looked away and said softly, “Yes, Captain.”
“The bed sheets need to be changed.” Shen Chengfeng sat on a stool, poured a glass of water, and said it calmly.
Xiao Jing rummaged through the drawers again before she found the clean sheets. She secretly complained in her heart: My company captain would never order me to do things like this. They are both captains, but he loves me so much.
“The pillow needs to be changed.” Shen Chengfeng said again.
Xiao Jing hugged her pillow and said with a wry smile: “I only have this one pillow.”
“How often do you take a bath?” Shen Chengfeng asked.
Xiao Jing counted on her fingers, “Once a day.”
“Be honest.”
“Once every two days.”
“Soldiers are not allowed to tell lies with their eyes open.”
Xiao Jing looked at the ceiling guiltily. “I try hard to find opportunities to go to the bathhouse every day, but Captain, you always like to stay up late at night to snatch it from me. What can I do? I am also desperate.”
“Blame me?” Shen Chengfeng asked again.
Xiao Jing shook her head fiercely, “Blame me, blame myself.”
“Go to my dormitory to take a shower from now on.” Shen Chengfeng put down the cup of water and stood up.
Xiao Jing blinked, then jumped directly in front of Shen Chengfeng, grinning and smiling, “Captain, are you telling the truth?”
“Or do you intend to let the whole team know how special you are?” Shen Chengfeng looked down.
Xiao Jing took two steps back and turned around deliberately. Then she said, “I’ll pay attention.”
“After you clean up your things, go to the bathroom and wash them. I’m a mysophobe.” Before he finished speaking, Shen Chengfeng pushed the door open and walked out.
Xiao Jing raised her hand and raised her fist in the direction he left, muttering: I was sleeping well with my company captain, how could you come in and steal my love.
“Xiao Jingjing.” Lian Qing leaned against the door and called softly.
Xiao Jing turned around and looked at Lian Qing who was looking around furtively. She then threw down the sheets in her hand and asked, “What are you doing hiding there?”
“Captain Shen has left, right?” Lian Qing hurriedly closed the door behind him and patted his chest angrily. God knows he was almost having a psychological breakdown after being stared at by those sinister eyes.
“What do you want to say?”
“I always wonder if Captain Shen is hostile to me. Why am I treated so unfriendly every time I come to the special forces?” Lian Qing smacked his lips. “Is it because I am handsome and elegant, and he is jealous of my handsomeness?”
“Captain, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning for saying this?”
“Ahem.” Lian Qing came forward and whispered, “Just tell me, is Captain Shen particularly narrow-minded and targeting me whenever he disagrees with me?”
“My captain has given his single dormitory to you, and you’re still not satisfied?” Xiao Jing poked his head away and put on a clean quilt cover.
Lian Qing sat on the stool, holding his chin with one hand, “I’m wondering, why do I feel like he deliberately arranged for me to stay in his dormitory?”
“Maybe it’s because you’re so handsome that he can’t bear to leave you alone in my pig shed.”
“I think so too. Could it be that Captain Shen is really like the rumors?” Lian Qing couldn’t help but tighten his body. “Is he doing this to make me like him?”
Xiao Jing stopped moving and thought about what the captain had just done. It didn’t seem like something he just said casually. There really was some secret that couldn’t be seen by anyone.
She subconsciously glanced at Lian Qing who was mumbling to himself. During these days when her own captain Lian Qing was eating and drinking for free in the 525th Regiment, he looked quite clean. At least he was much more elegant than those rough guys in the special forces.
“You look at me like that too.” Lian Qing couldn’t help but hug himself tightly. “I’m in danger, Lieutenant Xiao. I feel like I’m facing an unprecedented crisis.”
Xiao Jing picked up the changed quilt and threw it directly on Lian Qing’s head.
Suddenly, everything in front of him went dark. Lian Qing hurriedly pulled back the quilt and said hurriedly, “What should I do if I can’t beat him?”
“Captain, don’t go out today.” Xiao Jing said seriously.
Lian Qing nodded, “I think so too.”
“The weather is changing so bad today. I’m afraid God will open his eyes and strike you to death.”
“…” Lian Qing jumped in front of Xiao Jing and said sternly, “Second Lieutenant Xiao, I order you to protect my personal safety.”
“Are you done?” Xiao Jing pushed this person away who was blocking her way. “If you’re done, get out of the way. I still have to pack my things.”
“What are you doing with all this?”
“The captain is a mysophobe.” Xiao Jing answered casually.
Lian Qing clapped his hands excitedly, “I know, I know what to do.”
Xiao Jing raised her head and watched the figure running out of the dormitory like a lunatic. She then shook her head. Captain Lian must be seriously ill.
“Bang! Boom! Boom!”
Xiao Jing opened the window and looked at the sudden rainstorm.
Above the sky, dark clouds rolled, thunder and lightning intertwined, and the entire sky seemed to be suddenly turned off. The darkness became oppressive, and there was an indescribable feeling of heaviness.
Xiao Jing was about to close the window, but she saw a figure running in the heavy rain, with his arms open as if very happy, and finally throwing himself forward, rolling in the mud, having a lot of fun.
“…” Xiao Jing closed the window in silence, then walked to the dormitory door silently and locked it.
On the other side of the dormitory, Jiang Xin had just pulled his clothes in when he pointed at a figure rolling on the ground. He was surprised and said, “Isn’t that Captain Lian Qing of the 525th Regiment who came for field practice? What is he doing?”
Mu Xichi looked out the window and said disapprovingly: “Maybe he likes the atmosphere of our special forces team and wants to hug the land of our special forces team at close range.”
“Why do I feel like he’s a psycho?” Jiang Xin’s mouth twitched slightly.
“You don’t understand. Many artists like to experience it personally, especially in heavy rain, which makes it more touching.” Mu Xichi nodded.
“Two psychopaths.” Jiang Xin distanced himself from Mu Xichi without leaving any trace.
Mu Xichi pulled him under his armpits with a backhand and said with a laugh, “Let’s go, let’s go run in the rain to commemorate our lost youth.”
“Let me go, let me go quickly, or don’t blame me for being merciless.” Jiang Xin hit Mu Xichi in the stomach with his elbow without thinking, then turned around and kicked him hard on the vital point.
“I told you not to play dirty tricks.” Mu Xichi was furious and punched him with his fist.
Jiang Xin caught it, quickly grabbed his wrist, used his back as a foundation, and threw him over his shoulder perfectly.
The moment Mu Xichi fell to the ground, he raised his legs and clamped Jiang Xin’s calves, and finally pulled them hard, successfully knocking him to the ground.
The two figures twisted together, fighting hard to tell apart, some even with bruised faces and noses.
Qi Yue walked through the messy dormitory with an expressionless face, looked at the two people standing side by side without saying a word, and asked coldly: “Who won in the end?”
Neither of them spoke.
Qi Yue carefully examined the expressions on the two men’s faces and said, “Well, both are very good. You hit them in obvious places. It’s like you wish you could announce to the whole army that you two just beat each other up.”
“Instructor, we are just having our daily practice.” Jiang Xin stepped forward and said.
Qi Yue raised his fist and hit him on the shoulder, “How about we have a sparring match?”
Jiang Xin fell silent.
“Five hundred push-ups per person.” Qi Yue walked out of the dormitory.
The two looked at each other, and when they saw the ugly bruises on each other’s faces, they lay on the ground guiltily and completed push-ups one after another at a high level.
After Xiao Jing heard that the next door had quieted down, she dragged the packed sheets to the bathroom one by one.
“Oh my God.” Xiao Jing had just turned around when a wall suddenly blocked her back. She was so scared that she staggered two steps.
Shen Chengfeng said in a normal tone, which was neither hot nor cold, “Go get some clean clothes.”
Xiao Jing didn’t understand his intention and asked, “What do you want the captain to do with the clothes?”
“The room has been cleaned, now it’s time to clean yourself.”
“Cleaning myself?” Xiao Jing pointed at her nose and followed him back to the dormitory in a daze.
Shen Chengfeng looked at his watch and said, “Everyone is having lunch at this time.”
The implication was self-evident.
Xiao Jing suddenly realized what was going on and quickly packed a clean change of clothes. “Captain, do you want me to go to your dormitory now?”
“Or you want to wait until everyone is here and then enter and exit my dormitory openly!”
“No, no.”
Shen Chengfeng handed the key to her and said, “I’ll take care of Lian Qing for you. You only have ten minutes.”
Xiao Jing stood in the single bathroom, sighed, hung up her clothes, turned on the shower, and hummed a little tune.
Shen Chengfeng listened to the intermittent sound of running water coming from inside, sat on a chair, and looked through the latest training results.
“Knock, knock, knock.” There was a knock on the door. “Captain, General Xiao Yu of the 111th Regiment is here to visit.”
“Snap.” Shen Chengfeng closed the documents and before he could stand up, he saw the tightly closed door being pushed open from the outside.
Xiao Yu looked exhausted, obviously having just returned to the camp after completing a mission.
