Chapter 208: Jealousy from a Single Dog
Half an hour later, Liu Xiaotian, He Chen Guang, Wang Yanbing, Li Erniu, and Qin Yuxi all got into Old Comrade Zhou's seven-seat jeep. Old Comrade Zhou pressed the accelerator, the jeep spat out a streak of blue smoke, and shot out of Wolf Fang's gate.
At the agency office building, beside the bed in the Brigade Commander's office, He Zhijun watched the jeep gradually disappear from his sight, softly sighed, and lit a cigarette for himself.
He understands better than Zhou Tianzuo that Liu Xiaotian cannot possibly have any problem.
But his growth speed is really too fast; if there's no reasonable explanation, even if he, Fan Tianlei, and Deputy Commander Gao believe it, what about others? Actually Liu Xiaotian has also thought of this, but he currently has no good solution, so he can only pretend to be clueless for now.
Going to Old Comrade Zhou's parachute base, He Chen Guang, Wang Yanbing, and Li Erniu felt somewhat surprised, especially after seeing Qin Yuxi.
Liu Xiaotian drove, Qin Yuxi sat in the passenger seat; aside from Old Comrade Zhou's kind, entirely elder-like demeanor facing a pair of junior lovebirds, the other three were utterly like a 400-watt light bulb!
Moreover, it's the kind that requires 360 volts to light up.
Old Comrade Zhou's two jeeps, full of tough-guy aura, were already eye-catching enough; adding Liu Xiaotian in his crisp uniform and Qin Yuxi, heroic yet with a hint of girlish shyness, they must be... uh... talented wolves and tigers, pfft! A handsome man and beautiful woman, a perfect match, you know what. That pair, you know what! Wang Yanbing, forced by Old Comrade Zhou to sit in the last row, poked He Chen Guang, who wore an envious expression on the second row, and muttered:
"Hiss..."
In one, one look `none, one erroneous version%!'
At that moment, He Chen Guang and the others still bickering felt the jeep lurch forward suddenly as the accelerator increased, the resulting push-back sensation made He Chen Guang, who had turned to speak with Wang Yanbing, slam his nose hard into the seatback, and tears immediately welled up.
As we say back home, this is a typical "widow's face".
Li Erniu, guessing it was because of what he just said, felt a bit embarrassed, his face slightly red, his voice lowered a few degrees: "I... I'm telling the truth, my mother can't lie to me!"
And you? You don't mention the mess you've caused, and now you haven't even touched a single hair.
"You brat, don't say I didn't warn you; if you really marry her, by then you'll have no time to regret!"
I don't know since when, Qin Yuxi's hand has been gripped by him; when shifting gears, he also operates it by holding that small hand……
"I'm asking if you can do it—look at Liu Xiaotian: just defuse a bomb, and a beauty throws herself into his arms; if the wife issue goes smoothly, it's basically solved."
But Liu Xiaotian didn't get out of the car right away.
He Chen Guang, meanwhile, was suspecting that the seemingly honest and simple Li Erniu had been pretending all along; this guy actually doesn't seem as dull as he looks on the surface, even able to say something like 'produce a big son'.
Liu Xiaotian himself was startled, turned his head and glanced, only to realize he had unconsciously pressed the accelerator, shifting straight from fourth to sixth gear.
Although the three had deliberately lowered their voices, and music was playing in the car, sharp-eared Qin Yuxi still heard the sentence 'produce a big son'; her cheeks instantly flushed red, she reached out and gripped Liu Xiaotian's right hand resting on the gear shift, twisting it hard.
Look at those two, they're a perfect match, tsk tsk, anyway I'm jealous.
Yes, if you look at her features individually, they're top-notch, but put together they look awkward.
Old Comrade Zhou saw it all clearly, but still pretended not to notice with an elder's demeanor, opening the door and first dragging He Chen Guang, Wang Yanbing, and Li Erniu out of the car.
As for Qin Yuxi, she really twisted it hard!
Besides, my mother said that producing a big son, Instructor Qin can do it at a glance, while Instructor Tang, I see having a daughter is already tough!
Just those two sentences from Li Erniu left He Chen Guang choking, almost rolling his eyes. 'What? Why are you pinching me?' Liu Xiaotian looked bewildered and aggrieved, turning his head to look at Qin Yuxi.
"I pah! You damn well are the father-in-law!" Wang Yanbing muttered a curse, then said with a hollow smile: 'I only now realize your taste is really not just slightly bad!'
Besides, if I were driving and Tang Xinyi sat in the passenger seat, she'd definitely be prettier than Qin Yuxi, don't you think?
Liu Xiaotian suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Erniu, I can't tell—did you eat fertilizer this morning? Your words are really strong."
In the over twenty years before crossing over, he could be described as having 'plucked countless flowers,' yet never had a girl dare to pinch him like this.
Wang Yanbing burst into a wicked grin and gave Li Erniu a thumbs-up.
The most tragic is Wang Yanbing—Old Comrade Zhou didn't even let him get out of the second row, but simply opened the trunk and had him jump out.
Damn it, I spent months scraping together this seven-speed off-roader, and you just messed it up—surely you've damaged the gears……
Old Comrade Zhou, who had been silent and smilingly watching the youngsters while reminiscing about his youth, quietly flashed a hint of heartache in his eyes.
No matter how coquettish she gets, at most it's just a tickle—she'd only hammer his shoulder or back twice.
He Chen Guang's face flashed with anger, just about to strike Wang Yanbing, when Li Erniu, who had been silent beside them, suddenly muttered softly: 'I also think Instructor Qin is prettier than Instructor Tang.'
What has Tang Xinyi grown up to look like?
After about half an hour, the jeep finally slowed to a stop in front of Zhou Tianzuo's dormitory.
"Even this emperor of mine isn't in a hurry, why are you rushing?"
Regarding Wang Yanbing's words, He Chen Guang was obviously resentful, turned and glared at him, and rebutted in a low voice:
As for Qin Yuxi, regardless of whether she heard Li Erniu's remark, she simply turned her head to the window, pretending to look at the scenery, and ignored him.
But that hand that had just twisted Liu Xiaotian's little hand wasn't released; instead, she lightly rubbed the spot she had just pinched……
At that moment, Wang Yanbing felt his treatment and the action of getting out were somewhat like a military dog's; after Liu Xiaotian and Qin Yuxi got out of the car, the five of them entered Zhou Tianzuo's dormitory one after another.
They say honest people either stay silent, or if they speak they'll choke you to death—this time we've witnessed it.
Wang Yanbing: ……
It's obvious Old Comrade Zhou had arranged everything in advance; the room already had a table set up, the red copper charcoal hot pot was in place, and all the vegetables had been washed, ready for whenever everyone gathered to start the hot pot.
Throughout the meal, Zhou Tianzuo didn't mention a word about the document that finally allowed him to request discharge, just chatted idly.
Finally, after eating and drinking their fill, Liu Xiaotian alone called him aside and brought up the matter.
Ahem, um, could you throw a few recommendation votes my way? ^_^
