Chapter 205

Inside Jinbi Shi.

"Brother, what's the reason this time?"

The guard, coincidentally the same soldier who had been on duty the previous two times Liu Xiaotian was confined, was now handing him a cigarette through the iron bars.

Only when Liu Xiaotian instinctively took the cigarette in his hand did he realize, it seemed, that he hadn't smoked in half a year.

Before coming here, the former "Young Master Liu" exclusively smoked Harmony under Heaven cigarettes, a pack a day, though they were packed in Lotus King boxes.

And now what he holds is merely a five-cent eco-friendly White Shark.

Liu Xiaotian leaned close to the soldier's lighter to light the cigarette, took a puff, skillfully blew a smoke ring, and waved his hand with a smile: "It's nothing major, just a bit impulsive."

Liu Xiaotian felt a bit dazed.

In one, one look `no, one wrong version%！'

Before Duan Yubo's words had finished, Qin Yu suddenly laughed, reached into his pocket, pulled out a pen-shaped object, waved it in front of Duan Yubo, then slipped it back into his pocket:

After the door opened, Duan Yubo left, stepping back with each step, while Qin Yuxi directly reached out, pulled open the iron-bar door, and walked in.

Liu Xiaotian used to be like a little bee constantly flying among the flowers, industrious to the extreme.

Although his personality is still somewhat straightforward, he doesn't judge whether a woman wears makeup solely by whether she has lipstick on.

At the moment the door opened, he hadn't forgotten to glance up at Liu Xiaotian, feeling guilty as he asked: "Brother, we're friends; you can't run away from here, can you?"

Liu Xiaotian: ……

Besides, Tang Xinyi and she are both electronic information majors; what would they use a recorder for?

Turning his head, he saw Qin Yuxi approaching, and Duan Yubo's face instantly fell.

He certainly knew that Qin Yuxi had always been Tang Xinyi's assistant; the two often appeared together, so their relationship must be pretty good.

"Let me put it this way, brother, you have good judgment—unlike those who came here for training before, who thought I was just a 'connection soldier' on guard duty; my name is Duan Yubo, the 'Duan' from Duan Yu, the 'Yu' from beautiful jade, the 'Bo' from rippling waves;

"No way! Opening the door is definitely out of the question; if you have something to say, say it outside; moreover, don't think I'm letting you in because you threatened me—it's just that I get along well with Liu Xiaotian, so I allowed you to come in."

Although Qin Yuxi's movements were quick just now, Liu Xiaotian still saw clearly that what she called a recorder was actually just an ordinary pen.

Regarding that "question," the guard's face instantly blossomed with a sunflower.

After hesitating a few seconds, he apparently still found Tang Xinyi more terrifying than writing a self-criticism, so he reluctantly took out the key and opened the iron-bar door.

While he was pondering how to end this "friendly conversation," a cold female voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"By the way, I transferred to trace evidence; let me put it this way: even if I find a single hair, I can follow that hair to locate the person or animal it came from!"

Liu Xiaotian smiled and nodded, saying nothing.

"Forgot to tell you, just now Instructor Tang happened to send me to buy a recorder; I was going to test whether it works, but I accidentally recorded your words." Duan Yubo's face instantly turned pale.

First, he needed a suitably surprised expression, then to add: "Oh? I thought you weren't just any special forces, but it turns out you're the elite among the elite!"

Before Duan Yubo could come up with a countermeasure, Qin Yuxi continued:

"Those who serve in the division should all be special forces, right? Guard duty is understandable—who hasn't stood guard? But a special forces soldier who's so gossipy and talkative—I've really never seen one like that."

"How about this: you open the door, let me come in for a while, you stand guard properly outside, and I'll pretend I didn't hear anything just now."

"Duan Yubo, right? You say, if I tell Instructor Tang what you just said, what would you do?"

As she spoke, Qin Yuxi's figure appeared at the doorway. Just moments ago, when mentioning Tang Xinyi with a look of disdain, Duan Yubo's hand shook violently; the remaining bit of cigarette butt burned his finger, making him flinch.

"Brother, you probably don't even know—when you kicked her last time, I was watching not far away; tsk tsk, that feeling was truly not just ordinary satisfaction!"

"I didn't beat anyone up; I just failed to immediately follow the commander's order in a special situation and talked back." Liu Xiaotian answered frankly.

This guy's language skills are really making it hard for him to keep up with the conversation.

Don't be fooled by Duan Yubo daring to give Liu Xiaotian cigarettes, food, and even let people come see him—but when it comes to opening the door without permission, he really doesn't dare.

Besides, even if you told Tang Xinyi, what difference would it make? What evidence do you have?

That utterly baseless flattery almost made Duan Yubo burst out laughing with a big snot bubble; he happily took a puff of smoke, then, not forgetting "reciprocity," he also praised Liu Xiaotian: "Oh, it's just so-so; I also thought you were quite impressive the first time I saw you, only I never imagined you could easily beat Tang Chengfeng! To be frank, brother, as for Tang Xinyi, I wouldn't dare comment on other aspects, but when it comes to trace evidence, just from the instruments in her hands, I've already found the person even before she pulls up the image! Anyway, I find her annoying at first sight, but since she's an officer, I usually don't dare say anything."

As Duan Yubo spoke, his face seemed to bear four large characters: "I'm awesome!" As a wealthy young master whose emotional intelligence once let him handle situations with ease in the marketplace, Liu Xiaotian naturally knew what to say now.

The guard's eyes lit up at once: "You beat someone again? Who did you hit this time? I heard before that you beat Tang Xinyi's brother Tang Chengfeng, but unfortunately I never got to see it!"

To prevent the other from continuing to question, Liu Xiaotian jumped in before he could speak, throwing back: "Brother, you're probably also special forces, right?"

A big round face in the style of Yue Yunpeng, plus a dense scattering of freckles that would cost thousands to remove per spot, and a sunshine-like smile—describing this face as a "sunflower" is truly the most fitting.

One must admit, the soldier named Duan Yubo is endearingly cute in a simple-minded way.

It's clear she's wearing light makeup.

He also realized that if there wasn't a plausible excuse, this person would definitely not let it go today.

Exactly, it's a sunflower.

Qin Yuxi's makeup is light, yet extremely delicate.

You wouldn't notice it without close inspection, but if you look closely, you'll find it has a unique charm…

Being stared at so bluntly by Liu Xiaotian, Qin Yuxi's aura from just facing Duan Yubo vanished instantly; she lowered her head timidly, speaking in a low voice tinged with a hint of mild annoyance:

"You… why are you staring at me like that…"
