Gu Xiaoxi wiped the bloodstains from her face with her sleeve.
At that moment, as dusk settled in, she stared at Shao Changfeng, and Shao Changfeng glared back at her.
Their dark eyes locked, sparks seemed to grow within them.
“Let’s go!” Gu Xiaoxi snapped out of it and turned to Mei Su and Qin Chu.
Then, without looking back, she walked forward.
Shao Changfeng’s face darkened, and he followed.
“I just saved you, don’t you think you should say thank you?”
“If you were in danger just now, I would have saved you too.
It’s what comrades do,” Gu Xiaoxi said indifferently, taking Qin Chu and Mei Su with her as they ran forward.
Shao Changfeng had all his words stuck in his throat, not knowing what to say in the moment.
He was ordered to protect Gu Xiaoxi and the other two, simply wanting to see her abilities from the shadows.
He hadn’t expected to uncover her strength.
After running another four or five kilometers, Shao Changfeng was still following Gu Xiaoxi.
Seeing that Mei Su was nearing exhaustion, Gu Xiaoxi slowed down and walked alongside Shao Changfeng.
“Who asked you to follow me?” Gu Xiaoxi looked back at him, her forehead slick with sweat.
“Company commander!
This forest connects to the primeval mountains, and although safety nets have been installed, they can’t completely isolate the animals from the mountains.
They might penetrate the camp’s barrier through the trees or by burrowing from underground, so it’s not as safe here as you might think.”
Gu Xiaoxi nodded; in those days when she was escaping through the forest, she indeed encountered many animals.
After a moment of silence, she tilted her head to Shao Changfeng and said, “You can’t blame me for what happened with Flame.
You should stop challenging me in the future.
Misunderstandings could arise, and that’s not good.”
“What?” Shao Changfeng didn’t understand what Gu Xiaoxi meant.
“You really don’t know?” Gu Xiaoxi caught her breath and stopped, waiting for Mei Su and Qin Chu who lagged behind.
“Make it clear to Yan Xiao that I have nothing to do with you!
Otherwise, she’s going to see me as a love rival every day.”
Shao Changfeng scanned Gu Xiaoxi from head to toe, “You mean, those rumors?”
“I thought you were unaware!
Turns out you knew!
You’d better clarify with everyone.
This is bad for my reputation!” Gu Xiaoxi plucked a blade of grass and chewed on it, her demeanor brash and nonchalant.
Staring at her, Shao Changfeng’s gaze flickered between light and dark, and he chuckled coldly, “Rest assured!
Yan Xiao is not my fiancée.
Nothing’s possible between her and me.”
“Well, I shouldn’t be caught in the crossfire!
Shao Changfeng, although what happened last time led to the disbandment of Flame, and I’m sorry for that, you can’t set me up like this.” Gu Xiaoxi felt this man was truly beyond reasoning.
“How did I set you up?
I never confessed to you, nor did I tell anyone I liked you.
All these rumors are nonsense, they have nothing to do with me,” Shao Changfeng stared at his military boots, took a few steps forward, and left Gu Xiaoxi with a cold silhouette.
Damn!
“You…
Zhong Ming seems much more honest than you.” Gu Xiaoxi’s mouth twitched fiercely.
He was tacitly confirming the rumor that ‘he liked her.’ Was it just to reject Yan Xiao?
“That’s why he is Flame’s captain!” Shao Changfeng said coolly.
Gu Xiaoxi: “…”
She was left speechless!
“If you’re using me, you have to give me something in return.
I never make a losing deal,” Gu Xiaoxi said to Mei Su who was catching up, then stood up and walked forward.
Shao Changfeng followed her, and the group continued, with people trailing and chasing behind each other.
Whenever Mei Su fell behind, Gu Xiaoxi would stop to wait for them.
“What kind of reward do you want!” Shao Changfeng asked.
“That dagger you used just now is not bad.
Give it to me.”
“No way!”
Gu Xiaoxi pouted, if he wouldn’t give it, then be it.
Suddenly, she thought of something, Zhang Jingyue was always the platoon leader following them, so why didn’t Ning Jiu come, and instead him?
“Where’s my platoon leader?
Why did they send you?”
Shao Changfeng turned his head and glanced at her, the corners of his mouth curling into a wicked smile, “Oh!
They’re guessing that I like you.
Give me a chance to pursue you.”
“Pff!” Gu Xiaoxi nearly choked to death.
This bastard, aside from scheming and hatred, she hadn’t seen a hint of affection in his eyes.
His words sent chills down her spine.
“You can refuse! free𝑤ebnovel.com
This isn’t something you should be doing!” Gu Xiaoxi was furious, taking on Ning Jiu’s task, and this guy had some nerve planning something else.
“I’d be very willing to ‘serve’ you!” Shao Changfeng said with a firm tone.
Gu Xiaoxi looked up at the sky, wondering if it was about to rain red.
…
Mei Su and Qin Chu jogged slowly behind, contemplating the two people walking ahead on the road with puzzlement.
“Qin…
Qin Chu!
Do you think…
Shao Changfeng really likes Gu Xiaoxi?” Mei Su, struggling with her breath, found it difficult to articulate her words.
“It doesn’t seem like it to me.
When you like someone, it shows in the eyes,” Qin Chu said, inhaling sharply and speaking coolly.
“Pssh!
As if you can tell by the eyes!
Keep boasting!
Have you ever been in love?” Mei Su pondered and then continued, “With your silent demeanor, does any man actually like you?”
Qin Chu pursed her lips and quickened her pace, “Are you discriminating against me?”
“I wouldn’t dare!
Qin Chu, don’t run too fast.”
“If you don’t speed up, you’ll be waiting to get eaten by wolves again; at this late hour, there will be more wild beasts.”
…
After completing the full ten-kilometer course, Mei Su and Qin Chu collapsed on the training field.
Gu Xiaoxi tossed down her bag and sat beside them, resting together.
Shao Changfeng looked at the three of them, “I’ve completed my task.
Get some rest early!”
Watching his retreating figure, Gu Xiaoxi sneered!
She’d make him pay for using her sooner or later.
“You guys rest here.
I’m going to the cooking squad.
I’m starving.” Gu Xiaoxi patted off the dust on her clothes and strode towards the cooking squad.
The duty officer was Zhang Yi, who immediately greeted her upon seeing Gu Xiaoxi.
“You’re here for something to eat?”
“Nobody gets me like Brother Zhang.
I just ran ten kilometers and I’m starving!” Gu Xiaoxi flashed a sweet smile, bewitching enough to make one lose their soul.
Even in a military uniform, her exquisite beauty and unique charm couldn’t be concealed.
Zhang Yi couldn’t help but blush,” Wait here, I knew you went running.
I have prepared steamed buns and pickles for you.”
“Thanks, Brother Zhang!”
“For that ‘Brother Zhang,’ I’ll prepare supper for you every night from now on.” Zhang Yi turned and went into the kitchen.
Gu Xiaoxi followed, “Where’s Old Hu?
Why hasn’t he been here these past few days?”
At this point, Zhang Yi’s expression darkened and he explained, “Old Hu is a veteran cadre; he’s spent his life in the army and never got married.
His mother is all he has back home, and she’s sick now.
He took a month’s leave to care for her.”
Gu Xiaoxi didn’t ask any more questions, took the food, and went back to the training field where the three of them wolfed down their food and then slept.
As for Zhang Jingyue!
From Gu Xiaoxi’s observations, that person was definitely not easy to mess with.
Punished to run twenty kilometers, she could still swallow her anger without causing any trouble along the way.
Zhang Jingyue’s endurance and forbearance were astonishing, and such an opponent was not to be underestimated in a head-to-head confrontation.
Just, she didn’t know.
On the road ahead, this woman would become her greatest rival.
The next day, early in the morning, training was in full swing.
A black luxury military car drove into the new recruits camp, and a soldier alighted first, opening the car door.
