Xiao Jing handed the carp to Shen Chengfeng and asked expectantly, “Captain, what should we do next?”
Shen Chengfeng withdrew his gaze and looked elsewhere, as if he didn’t want to answer this stupid question.
Xiao Jing pouted, squatted down, and began to learn how to take care of the dead carp.
But the blade was too sharp, and before she could cut the fish’s belly, the knife flashed and a drop of blood dripped.
She frowned, looked at the cut on her index finger, and awkwardly gave up trying to clean the fish, deciding to just grill it like this.
Shen Chengfeng took the knife from her hand without saying a word, walked straight to the stream, and gutted the fish in no time.
Xiao Jing sat in front of the fire, staring at the shiny roasted carp with burning eyes, her chin supported by her hands, looking very focused.
“Are you hungry, or do you just want to eat?” Shen Chengfeng looked at the blood on his gloves and washed them casually in the water.
Xiao Jing smiled, “I’m hungry.”
“The first lesson of wilderness survival skills is that in an unfamiliar place, any rest cannot exceed ten minutes. But you spent ten minutes catching a fish, another ten minutes cleaning it, and finally ten minutes grilling it. I guess you will spend another ten minutes eating it.”
The smile on Xiao Jing’s face gradually froze. She buried her head between her knees, scratched the small stones on the ground with her fingers, and retorted in a low voice: “Didn’t you say to dry the clothes before leaving?”
Shen Chengfeng listened to her reply, then looked at her wet clothes clinging to her body, walked behind a pile of rocks, and said, “Take off your clothes and dry them first.”
Xiao Jing suddenly looked up, realizing that her captain was deliberately avoiding suspicion, stopped being pretentious, and took off her camouflage uniform as ordered.
A cool breeze blew over her and she hung up her clothes carefully.
There were circles of white strips wrapped around her chest, and she couldn’t untie them, so she had to move closer to the fire.
Shen Chengfeng leaned against a rock, looking at the ripples in front of him. He calculated the time it would take to roast the fish, and when he was sure it was almost cooked, he said, “It’s ready to eat.”
Xiao Jing hurriedly took down the wooden stick, poked the fish’s belly, and tore off a piece of fish meat while breathing heavily. She instinctively ran towards Shen Chengfeng and handed the fish meat to him without hesitation. With a burning look as if asking for a reward, she said, “Captain, please try it.”
The breeze blew on his face and the stream gurgled by.
Shen Chengfeng stared at the small figure that suddenly ran over, and his gaze involuntarily moved downwards.
Xiao Jing suddenly felt a chill, as if she was not wearing any clothes.
She lowered her head and her eyes suddenly widened. She was so careless that she forgot to take off her clothes.
Shen Chengfeng twisted his neck stiffly. With a click, a barely perceptible sound of bones grinding against each other was heard in the air. He supported his head and felt that it seemed that he had twisted it.
Xiao Jing ran out anxiously, but just after taking two steps, she saw fast-moving figures in the woods. She estimated the distance between her clothes and herself, and then looked towards the increasingly dense footsteps, and almost subconsciously hid behind a rock.
Seeing her coming back, Shen Chengfeng twisted his neck again.
Xiao Jing whispered: “Captain, someone is coming.”
Shen Chengfeng turned his back to her, covered his mouth and coughed softly, “You hide here, I’ll go out and take a look.”
Xiao Jing squeezed into the crevice between the rocks with difficulty, hiding her face and trying to deceive people into thinking that there was no one here.
Mo Luo smelled the scent and ran over, but when he saw a shirtless figure standing in front of the fire, he stopped abruptly.
Shen Chengfeng picked up the clothes and tested the wetness. He then said in a lukewarm tone, “Captain Mo, do you still want to spar with me?”
Mo Luo tried his best to force out a smile that seemed gentle and modest, but in reality it was a fake smile, which looked a bit scary. He then said, “Captain Shen is really good at telling jokes. I smelled the aroma of grilled fish here, and I thought it was my lone team member, so I came here to take a look.”
Seeing him looking around, obviously looking for something, Shen Chengfeng said coldly: “It seems that there is no one here that Captain Mo is looking for. You can leave now.”
Mo Luo held his gun in one hand, hesitating whether to say something to resolve the delicate relationship between the two teams. After thinking for a moment, he asked carefully: “Where is Comrade Xiao Jing?”
“Captain Mo seems to be very concerned about the new recruits in my team?”
“After all, we are all comrades-in-arms, and it is only natural for us to care about him.”
Shen Chengfeng added some sticks to the fire and said calmly, “I am very grateful for Captain Mo’s kindness, especially for using the entire team to besiege her alone. I think I will repay you openly in the joint competition next month.”
“…”
“Anything else?” Shen Chengfeng looked up at the other person, his eyes full of indifference that kept people at a distance.
Mo Luo’s eyes fell on the two pieces of clothing hanging on the tree branch. It was obvious that they belonged to two people. It seemed that Xiao Jing should be hiding somewhere. According to the nature of the Iron Eagle Special Forces, it was very likely that he was waiting in the dark, ready to catch him off guard.
Shen Chengfeng stared at Mo Luo who was looking around, and the hostility in his eyes grew more and more intense.
Mo Luo felt a wave of strong mental pressure, and withdrew his gaze in surprise, and said hurriedly: “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
“The two teams are training, and we should not interfere with each other. But Captain Mo, please know one thing, if someone offends me, the whole team will be wiped out.”
“…” I am the leader of a team after all. How can I be threatened by you so blatantly? Do you believe that I will fight you to the death here today?
Shen Chengfeng’s eyes were still staring at the other person.
Mo Luo swallowed his saliva and laughed, “Captain Shen is really a joker. I’m leaving now. You continue, continue.”
Jiang Feng looked at his captain who was running over dejectedly and sighed. It seemed that it was necessary to change the future training base. This place was like a curse, a nightmare that they could never get rid of in their lifetime.
Mo Luo approached, head held high and chest puffed out, “I have already discussed it with Shen Chengfeng, everyone can train without worry, he will not interfere with us.”
“Captain, do you want to stay here any longer?” Jiang Feng said with a wry smile.
Mo Luo glanced at him disdainfully, “Of course we must continue, continue the group operation, everyone disperse.”
Shen Chengfeng noticed that the forest had returned to silence and walked behind a rock with the almost dried clothes.
Xiao Jing listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and she clenched the wooden stick tightly in her hands. As long as the other party got close, she would choose to launch a surprise attack at any time.
Shen Chengfeng had just handed over the clothes when he sensed danger and instinctively reached out to block it.
Xiao Jing threw a punch without hesitation, but when she saw that it was a familiar person, her heart gradually calmed down.
The air was as quiet as ever, with a faint fishy aroma emanating from her hands.
Shen Chengfeng held her hand, his eyes fixed on her heart. She looked relieved, and for some reason, his heart began to beat restlessly.
Xiao Jing lowered her head following his gaze.
The sun was still bright, casting shadows on the water.
The crocodile in the water popped its head out, then dived back in obediently, as if it had already seen through the situation.
Xiao Jing came back to her senses, turned around hastily, and continued to face the crack in the stone. She muttered, “Captain.”
With a soft call, Shen Chengfeng once again stiffly turned his neck, raised his hand, handed over his clothes, and said, “Your clothes are not dry yet, wear mine first.”
Xiao Jing put on his clothes anxiously, and only then did she realize the hateful height difference between them. The entire military uniform was not only loose, but also long, which abruptly shortened her 1.5-meter-tall legs.
“You can eat it now.” Shen Chengfeng pointed at the grilled fish that she was holding tightly in her hand for fear that someone would snatch it away.
Xiao Jing bit off most of the fish tail in one bite, chewed it twice and swallowed it.
“There are bones.” Shen Chengfeng reminded at the right time.
Xiao Jing’s face darkened. She covered her throat and babbled incoherently.
Shen Chengfeng frowned, walked quickly forward, opened her mouth and tried to look at her throat.
“Oh, it hurts.” Xiao Jing choked twice. She felt that the fish bone was too prickly in her throat such that even her voice changed.
Shen Chengfeng let out a long sigh. He had seen stupid people, but he had never seen anyone as stupid as this. He finally understood why the Xiao family had not exposed the Fourth Young Master Xiao for more than 20 years. It was so embarrassing.
Xiao Jing saw the mockery in his eyes, and her mouth puffed up, and she became as angry as a puffer fish again.
Shen Chengfeng unscrewed the kettle and handed it over, “Try to see if you can swallow it.”
Xiao Jing hurriedly drank two sips of water and shook her head, “It’s still stuck.”
“Will you still eat fish in the future?” Seeing her frowning, Shen Chengfeng unexpectedly smiled.
“…”Mockery, absolute mockery.
Shen Chengfeng picked up two twigs of the same size, gently pressed her jaw, and looked carefully at her slightly swollen throat.
Xiao Jing struggled for a bit and couldn’t help retching.
Shen Chengfeng handed the kettle over again, “Rinse your mouth.”
Xiao Jing covered her throat, which had returned to normal, and asked excitedly, “Captain, how did you get it out?”
“Not everyone is as dumb as you.”
“…” Xiao Jing swallowed a mouthful of water angrily, staring at the shirtless figure of the man with resentment. He was indeed a sultry captain. While praising himself, he did not forget to insult her.
“You can continue eating.” After saying that, he sat down on a rock and watched her wolf down her food leisurely.
Xiao Jing had learned from her previous experience and carefully tore open a piece of fish meat. She only put it into her mouth after making sure there were no fish bones.
Shen Chengfeng watched her eating in silence as she ate in a rather quiet manner, and once again added a few branches to the fire.
The flames were burning, the setting sun was slowly setting over the hillside, and the red clouds in the sky were exceptionally brilliant.
“Captain, when are we going back?” Xiao Jing wiped the food residue from her hands and couldn’t help but ask when she saw the captain who seemed to be setting up a tent.
Shen Chengfeng said bluntly: “Two days later.”
Xiao Jing’s heart skipped a beat. Did this mean she had to survive in the wild for another two days?
“It’s only been one day since the training camp started, and I’m very disappointed with your performance today.” As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the bottle again and poured out a pill.
Xiao Jing stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation.
“I’ll check it out after we get back to camp.”
“What if the poison takes effect?” Xiao Jing looked at the small cut on her arm, which had begun to scab over.
“You won’t die as long as I’m here.” Shen Chengfeng threw the sleeping bag into the tent.
Xiao Jing was about to go in but was blocked by a hand.
She blinked and stared at the captain who was sitting in the car with an incredible look on her face.
Shen Chengfeng said: “There is only room for one person here.”
“…” So what? You want a delicate girl like me to sleep outdoors?
“There are too many unknown dangers here. We must rest every minute. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that our rest will not be disrupted by sudden dangers in the second half of the night.” After saying that, Shen Chengfeng zipped up the tent directly.
Xiao Jing stood alone outside the tent, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly, and her back felt not only cold but also chilly.
If you ask which captain was the most shameless, it was undoubtedly Shen Chengfeng, the narrow-minded and cunning Shen Yanwang.
“Coo, coo.” The nightingale began to fly by humming a tune.
Xiao Jing tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The night breeze was chilly, and there were some small insects crawling around from time to time.
She subconsciously glanced at the tent that looked so comfortable and moved towards it carefully.
Hearing the sound of regular breathing from inside, Xiao Jing knew that her captain should have fallen asleep.
But the zipper could only be opened from the inside. She held her chin with one hand, took out a knife and carefully opened the zipper teeth a little bit.
“Hiss.” With a soft sound, the tent was opened.
Xiao Jing controlled her movements and walked inside slowly. Although the tent was indeed a little small, it could accommodate two people at the same time.
She lay down contentedly, deliberately reducing her presence and sticking close to the edge of the tent.
“I told you, don’t think you can sneak into my bed after I fall asleep.” The man’s cold voice sounded from behind her.
As if a thorn in the back was attached, Xiao Jing couldn’t help but stiffen her body.
She cleared her throat and coughed, “Captain, I feel a little weak, maybe because of the snake bite. I’m very cold. Please let me lie down for a while and I’ll be out later.”
“Hmm?” A tone full of doubt.
Xiao Jing coughed again, “Listen, my voice is hoarse.”
“It is normal to have an appropriate change in voice after a fish bone gets stuck in the throat.” Shen Chengfeng said.
Xiao Jing turned over and faced him with a desperate look, raising the corner of her mouth in grievance, “Captain, I sleep very well, and I promise I won’t do anything inappropriate to you secretly in the middle of the night.”
Shen Chengfeng glanced at her from top to bottom several times, “I’ve told you, men and women should avoid suspicion.”
“You can continue to treat me as a man.” Xiao Jing moved forward to let him see more clearly, and continued: “Look at me, how manly I look.”
Shen Chengfeng raised his hand and poked her head with his finger, then turned his back and said, “This is the only time. It won’t happen again.”
“Yes, captain.” Xiao Jing hugged the sleeping bag contentedly and closed her eyes.
The space was closed and her breathing was very quiet and close.
Shen Chengfeng turned around and looked straight at the tent. Then he turned his head and stared at the quiet sleeping face with sharp eyes.
Maybe it’s my preconceived idea, but the more I look at her, the more I think Xiao Jing looks very delicate.
“…” Shen Chengfeng’s eyes suddenly focused and he quickly looked away. How could he have such an improper thought?
Even if she is a woman, so what? Even if she is pretty, so what? This is my soldier. As the captain, how can I describe my soldier as pretty? This is an insult to her and also an insult to my authority!
“Captain, the meat is delicious.” Xiao Jing muttered in her sleep.
Shen Chengfeng felt something touching his hand, but before he could react, she held him tightly. He looked worried that his hand would be snatched away by someone.
“Captain, it’s delicious.” Xiao Jing muttered again and continued to chew the meat.
“…” Shen Chengfeng pulled out his hand, looked at his bitten glove, and frowned uncontrollably.
Xiao Jing turned over, grabbed the sleeping bag and stuffed it into her mouth, “Delicious, really delicious.”
“Puchi.” Shen Chengfeng couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Xiao Jing vaguely heard the sound of giggling and opened her eyes sleepily.
Shen Chengfeng stared at her with an expressionless face.
Xiao Jing was frightened by the sharp eyes and asked hurriedly, “Captain, you don’t want to sleep?”
Shen Chengfeng didn’t reply and just closed his eyes.
Xiao Jing turned her back to him with lingering fear and deliberately moved to the corner. After all, a man and a woman were sleeping in the same space, so she had to keep a certain distance. What if her captain was a gentleman with his eyes open and a beast with his eyes closed? Wouldn’t she be in danger?
“Are you afraid?”
The sudden sound startled Xiao Jing and she shook her head hastily, “No, I just wanted to give you more space.”
Shen Chengfeng took off his gloves, revealing two clear teeth marks on his fingers.
Xiao Jing didn’t understand what he meant by this. She licked her face, showing her big white teeth, and complimented, “Captain’s hands are so beautiful, so white and clean.”
“You bit me.” Shen Chengfeng poked her head open, “I think it’s necessary to separate from you. Go out.”
“Captain.” Xiao Jing hugged Shen Chengfeng’s hand as he was about to open the tent, and said in a slow voice, “Captain, did you see wrongly? Why would I bite you for no reason?”
“Not going out?”
Xiao Jing held his hand tightly, afraid that he would throw her out if he couldn’t figure it out.
Shen Chengfeng stood up, and as soon as he moved, his body was pulled hard. He lost his balance instantly and fell forward.
Xiao Jing was planning to hold him up, but unexpectedly, when she hugged him, she fell down in the direction he was leaning.
“Bang.” Her lips were perfectly pressed against his face.
“…”
“…”
It was awkward and dead silent, and a night bird flapped its wings and accidentally crashed into a tree.
