Chapter 1554: The Little Devil Is Fighting For Favors
“Field Army.” Mr. Liang raised his eyebrows, feeling incredibly proud. Lu Xingzhi’s ambition was to be the real Lu Xingzhi. When he first saw Lu Xingzhi, he knew that that kid had great ambition in his heart.
“They’re evenly matched.”
The division commander looked expectant. “The Military Region’s Third Regiment of the Field Army members are elite warriors. They are also excellent warriors who were chosen through the selection process. Those warriors received more military training and management than Lu Xingzhi and the others. Those people also partic.i.p.ated in the field military exercises several times, so they took advantage of it. ”
“So what?” Mr. Liang was not worried at all. “Lu Xingzhi is good at creating all kinds of records.”
Mr. Liang also trusted Lu Xingzhi’s ability. Furthermore, after the incident with Sergeant Ge, Lu Xingzhi seemed to have changed a lot. Lu Xingzhi became even colder than before.
That coldness was not just a look or an expression but something that came from the heart. It was a coldness that seeped into one’s bones and made one feel pressured.
Sergeant Ge was probably the most significant blow and setback that Lu Xingzhi had encountered in his smooth-sailing years. Sergeant Ge had betrayed him, letting Lu Xingzhi know that not everyone would go in the direction he wished.
The time in the army was like clockwork. However, it was like a paradise in town, so quiet that it was almost isolated from the world.
Jiang Yao did not go out for two days in a row. Every day, she read a book at home. Or, on a whim, she learned to cook from Mrs. Lu. Then, she was kicked out of the kitchen by Mrs. Lu because she was too clumsy. She returned to her room with her book in her arms and continued to read.
However, after two days, Jiang Yao’s complaints against Cheng Jinnian became more and more serious because she was sure that Cheng Jinnian’s position in the family had declined.
When there was delicious food at home, Mrs. Lu would first hold Cheng Jinnian close. If there were only a piece of braised pork left on the plate, it would belong to Cheng Jinnian. Jiang Yao and Mr. Lu could only watch as the boy ate it.
If there were only one prawn on the plate, it would definitely belong to Cheng Jinnian. Jiang Yao did not even have the chance to sniff it. She could only watch Cheng Jinnian puff his cheeks and eat the prawn with a satisfied look on his face.
However, Mrs. Lu made soup for Jiang Yao.
Sometimes, it was chicken soup, and the next time it would be black chicken soup. There were times when Mrs. Lu would cook pigeon soup, rabbit soup, and even fish soup.
However, they could not finish the soup, which made Jiang Yao look resentful.
At the dining table, Mrs. Lu laughed when she saw Jiang Yao staring at the meat with a resentful look on her face. She raised her hand and patted Jiang Yao’s head gently. “Why are you becoming more and more delicate? You’re recuperating. The meat is not good for you, so you should control yourself. When you’re recovering, you have to look like you’re recovering. Drinking some light soup and water is good for your body.”
“That soup and water aren’t light.” Jiang Yao rubbed her head that had been hit and curled her lips as she defended herself. “Xingzhi and I have been staying in Shu City for some time, and our tastes have changed a little. Recently, we’ve quite liked eating spicy food. Every dish in Shu City is spicy, and even the vegetable buns are spicy. I’m used to it. I’m not used to eating so lightly all of a sudden.”
