Yes, I kissed Xiao Jing.
Yes, I kissed Xiao Jing.
Yes, I kissed Xiao Jing!
A simple sentence was like a magic spell, constantly buzzing in Xiao Hong"s mind.
The fury that had been suppressed a moment ago completely collapsed at this moment like a flash flood.
Xiao Hong slammed his fist on the table and glared at Shen Chengfeng, "Shen Chengfeng, if you have the ability, say it again."
Shen Chengfeng placed his hands in front of him and said casually, "No matter how many times I say it, it"s the truth."
Xiao Hong clenched his teeth and said indifferently, "Shen Chengfeng, you did it on purpose, right?"
"General Xiao Hong is wrong. Am I, Shen Chengfeng, the kind of hypocrite who is so frivolous that I can easily kiss others?"
"What is your purpose?"
Xiao Hong was very sure of his thoughts. Other than that, he could not understand why Shen Chengfeng would want to bully his Little Four.
"What can I do for a purpose?"
Shen Chengfeng asked.
"How dare you be so crazy as to bully your own soldiers."
Xiao Hong placed both of his hands on the table to control the anger in his body. He needed to remain clear-headed.
"My only purpose is to be with her, from now on."
Shen Chengfeng bluntly said.
Xiao Hong slammed his fist on the table again, his eyes almost popping out of his head as he asked, "What do you want to do?"
"As you can see, I like Xiao Jing."
"I don"t just like her, I just like her for a purpose. I just want to like the kind of thing that happens when we enter into a marriage."
"Shut up."
Xiao Hong roared angrily, "You know she is your soldier, how can you, as the leader, covet your soldier?"
"In a situation where one"s heart is in perfect harmony, there is no difference between a leader and a subordinate."
"Do you believe that I won"t kill you right now?"
Shen Chengfeng stood up and their gazes met. He said, "Do you think you can beat me?"
Xiao Hong could not bear it any longer. He kicked the chair aside. If he couldn"t beat them, he had to fight them.
Shen Chengfeng noticed his fist flying towards him. He raised his hand to block and avoided the attack that was filled with flaws in his rage.
Xiao Hong was pushed away by two steps as he panted and shouted, "You"d better take back those dirty thoughts of yours. My Xiao Jing doesn"t allow you to slander her like that."
"I don"t feel that my mind is dirty. I like her, and she likes me. She likes me, so it"s natural for her to have feelings for me. How can there be dirty words?"
"Scram."
Xiao Hong raised his leg and kicked.
Shen Chengfeng leaned on the table with one arm and leaped to avoid Xiao Hong"s sweeping leg.
Xiao Hong took advantage of the situation to chase after her and said, "I should have brought Xiao Jing away earlier. You"ve tried to stop me so many times, but you"ve been plotting against me. I actually let her mess around with me. You really shouldn"t have left her here."
Shen Chengfeng held his hand and forcefully removed the force from his arms. He then turned his back to Xiao Hong and forcefully pushed him against the wall.
Xiao Hong"s hands were being tightly suppressed by the other party as he roared, "Shen Chengfeng, I will not rest until you die. If I still have a breath of air left, I will not let her stay here for another day."
Shen Chengfeng gave up trying to pinch him and took two steps back, avoiding his counterattack.
Xiao Hong lost his calm. The moment he obtained his freedom, he swung his fist in preparation to smash down.
"She"s a woman, you know, right?"
His fist stopped just ten centimeters away from Shen Chengfeng.
Xiao Hong"s pupils contracted as he stared at his opponent with a torch-like gaze.
Shen Chengfeng had already guessed the answer from his sudden stop and said, "The Xiao family is indeed extraordinary. A whole family acting with her and Xiao Jing. Speaking of it, this never doted on Xiao Si has been protected by the Xiao family."
Xiao Hong"s fist trembled uncontrollably. "How did you know?"
"How I know is not important. What is important is that I know."
"So your goal is because she"s a woman!"
Shen Chengfeng walked to the table and lightly tapped on the table with his finger. He then said, "I do have a purpose for her. I want to stay by my side."
"Why?"
Xiao Hong sneered, "What qualifications do you have to keep her?"
Because she"s your soldier?
"If our Xiao family wants to take her away, we don"t need your permission. The reason we didn"t take her away is because we respect her. It seems that we have to take her away no matter what."
I could have hidden this fact, but then I thought, with her brain circuits, she might not have been able to guess my intentions for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, I can only pierce through this piece of paper.
"Don"t make such flowery remarks in front of me. No matter what you say today, I must bring her away with me."
Shen Chengfeng did not stop him and just leaned on the table.
Xiao Hong slammed the door and left.
Shen Chengfeng looked at the mess on the table and turned around to look at a couple of doc.u.ments. Finally, he crumpled them into a ball and threw them into the trash can.
"Xiao Jing, I"ll give you one last chance. You choose it yourself."
The empty office was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Xiao Hong took off his military hat in frustration and looked at the dormitory building in front of him. He took a few deep breaths before striding up the stairs like a shooting star.
Xiao Jing had just changed into her military uniform and was about to go to the training field to complete her training, but before she could take a single step, her second brother had already returned.
She called out, "Second brother, is there anything else?"
Xiao Hong pushed the door open and pulled her hand into the room.
Xiao Jing frowned. She could feel the anger that came from her second brother"s body. The corner of his mouth tightly pursed into a line. He must be controlling the anger in his body.
Second Brother, are you angry?
Xiao Hong poured himself a cup of water and gulped it down. He put down the cup and looked at Xiao Jing.
"Second brother has something to say?"
Xiao Jing cautiously asked.
"Shen Chengfeng knows you"re a girl, right!?"
Xiao Jing went straight to the point.
Xiao Jing was stunned. She had never expected that her second brother would ask such a question.
Xiao Hong saw through her hesitation. He clenched his fists and leaned on the table before saying, "He kissed you. Why didn"t you avoid his contact?"
"Second brother —"
"Or are you willing to accept his contact?"
Xiao Hong asked the most terrifying question.
Xiao Jing forced a smile and said, "Second brother, you misunderstand. The captain and I —"
"He admitted to having a purpose for you, you know."
Xiao Jing felt like she had something stuck in her throat.
Xiao Hong put his hands on his forehead and walked around the room twice, "Little Four, in the past, we had been following you around because we thought that you would suffer all these years in Cangshan, afraid that you would be hurt, but now, we can"t continue like this. Once he expresses his intentions towards you, if you stay here, it would be a waste of time creating opportunities for him, packing up his things."
"Follow second brother."
Xiao Jing was led to the door by him. She suddenly woke up and hurriedly pushed his hand away. With a serious expression, she said, "Second brother, I"m not leaving."
"Little Four, what are you still messing around with me for?"
"Do you still want to give him a chance?"
"Second brother, I"m not leaving."
Xiao Hong looked at her. From her hesitation to her rejection, he knew with absolute determination that she wouldn"t follow him.
Xiao Jing calmed herself and seriously said, "Second brother, I have thought about it carefully. I actually don"t insist on staying in Iron Eagle. I"m just used to it. I"m used to it, I"m used to captain."
"Little Four!"
The reason why I insisted on staying in the Iron Eagle from the very start is because the captain gave me a chance to see the glory. Later on, I was already capable enough to go to Zheng Hu, go to the Whale Wolf, and even finish my mission alone. Why did I persist in choosing to stay here?
"I want to see him, I even worry about him. This is probably a habit. Once I get used to it, I don"t want to leave."
"Little Four, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Xiao Jing smiled. "The captain asked me if I liked him."
Xiao Hong held his breath as he shook his head in refusal.
Xiao Jing grinned innocently and said, "I think I"ve gone from habit to dependence. I want to see him, and I want to risk my life with him."
"Little Four, do you know what you"re talking about?"
Xiao Hong interrupted her, "This is all an illusion of Shen Chengfeng. Since he knows that you are a woman and is immune to him, he will definitely not let you go. Only you can be with him."
"Isn"t this supposed to be a match made in heaven?"
Xiao Hong"s eyes widened. What did his family"s Little Four just say?
What a match made in heaven, why a match made in heaven!
Xiao Jing put on her military hat and smiled, "Second brother, you don"t have to worry about me. I"m already an adult, I can distinguish between right and wrong."
"Are you admitting that you want to follow him, Shen Chengfeng?"
Xiao Hong asked again.
Xiao Jing thought for a moment. In the end, she nodded without leaving a trace. After that, she slightly blushed and ran out of the room.
Xiao Hong stood where he was without moving. From the smile on his little sister"s face, the answer was obvious.
Yes, she was going to follow Shen Chengfeng. His family"s delicate and tender cabbage was silently being eaten by a pig just like that.
His family had carefully cultivated the delicate cabbage for more than twenty years, and without even taking a second look, it was already carried away by others, even with a basin attached to their roots.
Xiao Hong"s fist landed heavily on the table, and his leg couldn"t withstand the pressure. He staggered a few times before finally breaking from the middle, completely sc.r.a.pping the table.
Xiao Jing jogged out of the dormitory building. After she was sure that Second Brother wasn"t following her, she couldn"t help but cover her face with her hands.
Why was it so hot? It was as if he was guilty of being a thief.
"Captain Xiao, are you ready to a.s.semble?"
Ji Shan waved towards her.
Xiao Jing shook her head, put aside those immoral thoughts in her mind, and directly ran forward, "Let"s go."
Ji Lin saw that Xiao Jing"s face was blus.h.i.+ng red, and jokingly said, "Captain Xiao, what kind of shameful thing did you do?"
"So red."
Xiao Jing forced a smile and said, "Maybe he was just running too fast."
"I thought you blushed when you saw me."
As usual, Ji Lin raised his hand and prepared to place it on Xiao Jing"s shoulder.
Xiao Jing"s footsteps paused, avoiding his contact. Embarra.s.sed, she said, "Lieutenant Colonel Ji sure knows how to joke around with me."
Ji Lin missed a beat. He slapped on Xiao Jing"s back and said with a smile, "Captain Xiao is just like this."
Xiao Jing ran into the field. Lin Qi, who had been silently following behind her the entire time, disappeared. She poked Ji Lin"s waist and asked in a low voice, "Where"s Lin Qi?"
"The tasks are out in the forest."
"What kind of mission?"
"I don"t know. I heard it"s a [S] cla.s.s mission, so they should have returned on New Year"s Day. I really don"t know how their luck is so good, but when I thought of our Iron Eagle"s performance on New Year"s Day, I felt a little regretful about joining the army."
Xiao Jing gently patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Be brave. In any case, none of us should even think of leaving this world alive. It"s fine if you don"t mind."
Ji Lin repeated Xiao Jing"s words twice, and felt that they made sense. He followed her and smiled honestly.
Qi Yue stood in front of the training area and took a look at the target with the binoculars five hundred meters away. He put it down and said, "Fixed sniper, ten shots, seven pa.s.sing, failed to pa.s.s. Practice until your finger spasms."
Xiao Jing took her sniper rifle and looked at the magazine. Ten rounds.
Everyone was on standby, and just as Qi Yue was about to issue a shooting order, he saw Shen Chengfeng and he hurriedly raised his hand to stop him.
Shen Chengfeng looked at all the members of the Special Forces who were ready to shoot and casually picked a Barrett M99 to stand in the shooting area.
Qi Yue didn"t understand the captain"s intention and asked: "Captain, what are you trying to do?"
"Try to hit the target."
Simple and direct reply. Shen Chengfeng aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Five hundred meters away, the target, so small that it was only a tiny bit, let out a mournful, trembling sound after being seriously injured.
Qi Yue came back to his senses and said, "Captain is preparing to personally train you bunch of soldiers. Why aren"t you getting up your spirits and getting ready to shoot me?"
With that, everyone took aim. In the next moment, the bullets covered the sky and earth.
Xiao Jing felt a pair of bright eyes looking at her from behind. She controlled her breathing and maintained her focus. Finally, after confirming that she had shot nine out of ten, she let out a slight sigh of relief.
Ji Lin shook his head and put on the magazine, "Just a little bit more."
Xiao Jing smiled. "It"s alright. No one ascends to the heavens in a single move. Let"s do it again."
Ji Lin raised her guard, and waited for the soldiers in the distance to change their targets.
Shen Chengfeng walked forward and looked at the MSG military rifle in her hands and nodded, "This time, it was a good choice."
"Yes, captain"
Xiao Jing stood in a military posture, the corner of her mouth couldn"t help but raise a little.
Shen Chengfeng handed over the M99 in his hand and said, "Try this gun."
Xiao Jing quickly replaced the magazine and raised the sniper rifle high up. She stared at the aiming lens without blinking. After adjusting it properly, she pressed down her index finger.
The bullet was like a bolt of lightning that swept through the waves of the ocean. In the end, it landed in the center of the target, a perfect 10 rings.
Xiao Jing put down her M99 and looked back with a smile. "Captain, it"s all done."
"Should I praise you?"
Xiao Jing covered her mouth and coughed lightly. "I will control myself. I won"t swell."
"Not bad."
Shen Chengfeng blurted out.
Satisfied, Xiao Jing handed the spear in front of Ji Lin, and anxiously said, "Try this spear."
Ji Lin let out a light breath, took the gun from Xiao Jing"s hand, adjusted the aiming lens and started shooting again.
He put down his gun and directly carried Xiao Jing in his arms. He said, "Captain Xiao, you know me. You know that I am used to this large-caliber weapon."
Xiao Jing almost choked to death from him. She poked his groin and said, "You intentionally made things difficult for yourself."
Ji Lin grinned, showing his white teeth, "Captain Xiao is indeed a good comrade."
"Cough, cough."
Shen Chengfeng was still paralyzed as he stared expressionlessly at the two men who had turned into a mess.
Xiao Jing hurriedly pushed Ji Lin away, tidied up her military uniform, and asked seriously, "Captain, is there anything else?"
"You won"t be given a second chance to choose the right weapon."
Shen Chengfeng s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Ji Lin.
Ji Shan straightened his body, waiting for his leader to give a lecture.
"Two hundred push-ups."
"Yes, captain"
Ji Lin crouched down on the ground, doing push-ups one by one.
Xiao Jing noticed that her captain was looking at her again. She pointed to herself and asked, "I"ll do it too?"
"My rule is that if a person commits a crime, the entire army will be punished."
Everyone put down their sniper rifles and laid down quietly.
Xiao Jing obediently crouched down. After doing two push-ups, she suddenly had two more legs in front of her.
Shen Chengfeng stared at her condescendingly and said in a lukewarm tone, "Come with me."
Xiao Jing followed closely behind him, not sure what the captain was thinking. The things he said and did today didn"t seem to be in keeping with the usual cold captain. Could it be that he hadn"t fully recovered from his injuries last time?
But it didn"t seem like the captain was injured in the head.
Shen Chengfeng stood in front of the mud in the west training area and stared at a row of towering trees nearby, waiting for the soldiers behind him to approach.
Xiao Jing stood one meter away from him with her military posture.
"Xiao Hong went to find you. Why don"t you follow him?"
Shen Chengfeng was still staring at the tree in front of him when he heard a faint sound.
Xiao Jingleft and right, changing the topic, "Lin Qi took the mission?"
"You care about him?"
Shen Chengfeng asked.
"This is his first solo mission. As a comrade-in-arms, I think he should be concerned."
"With Jiang Xin here, I"ll be back in two or three days."
Shen Chengfeng turned around and their gazes met.
Xiao Jing could not help but turn around with a guilty conscience. She looked towards another direction and said, "If there is nothing else, Captain, I want to return to the group first."
"Why not?"
Shen Chengfeng repeated this question again.
"Why should I go?"
Xiao Jing no longer avoided this question.
"This is your last chance to be free."
"Captain, I am a soldier, and my direct leader is you. Before you give any orders, if I leave then I will leave my duties without permission and need to be punished. I don"t want any flaws in my military career."
"Is that the answer you gave me?"
"Yes."
Xiao Jing bluntly said.
Shen Chengfeng stared at her face and the shadows in her eyes. He could not help but smile a little.
