Chapter 255: Pah! Scumbag!

There's an old saying: "If you don't want people to know, don't do it."

Liu Xiaotian had lived over twenty years, and even after transmigrating he had "regressed" a few years, but only the next morning did he truly grasp the profound meaning of that saying.

When Tang Xiao Xiao carried out her "plan", she climbed to the roof via the exterior wall ladder.

But when Liu Xiaotian "drove" her out, perhaps due to excessive nervousness or some other reason, she actually ran straight down the stairs and out the front door.

The mess hall's door was unlocked, the few rooms on the second floor used as dormitories weren't close to the stairwell, and at this time, aside from soldiers who needed to get up for guard duty, everyone was undoubtedly still asleep.

But, nothing is absolute!

Just as luck would have it, when Tang Xiao Xiao rushed down the stairs from the third floor, a mess hall soldier happened to be waking up to urinate in the bathroom to the left of the second-floor stairwell.

"What? Saying Tang Xiao Xiao pretended to be a ghost last night to scare me? There's nothing to say about that—I wasn't scared; besides, her behavior differs from Ye Cunxin's yesterday, it's a fundamental difference."

At one, one look `no, one mistaken version%!'

Either say men are naturally lychee-mangoes; this kind of talk needs no teaching at all, it's completely original.

By afternoon, even the remaining seven female soldiers of the women's special forces unit changed the way they looked at him.

Although he and Liu Xiaotian didn't have much face-to-face communication like this, she believed Liu Xiaotian wouldn't lie to her—at least not about this.

But unexpectedly, less than ten seconds later, a cold voice laced with contempt cut him off: "Pah! Scumbag!"

Because she had been wearing a wig, when she pulled it off it also messed up the short hair that Liu Xiaotian had forcibly cut.

Moreover, she was still holding in her arms that white bedsheet stained with red ink, and only a few specks of "plum blossom" showed on the outside.

If he really had something with Tang Xiao Xiao, he would certainly tell me directly, not even saying sorry.

Seeing Liu Xiaotian's displeased expression, Qin Yuxi quickly added: "All right, you don't need to worry about this; I'll handle it;

Liu Xiaotian blinked: "Sleeping, what else can I do?"

"Her pretending to be a ghost to scare me is at most a prank, whereas Ye Cunxin hiding in a tree and shooting me with a slingshot is an attack, it's dangerous!" Liu Xiaotian's tone began to turn serious.

As she spoke, the expression on Qin Yuxi's face showed an inexplicable sense of grievance, making Liu Xiaotian immediately change his plan to say a few neither soft nor hard, neither humble nor arrogant words, and instead he spoke gently: "Good, good, good, I promise you."

Remember, no matter what happens from now on, I hope you'll tell me right away instead of letting me hear it from others and then come ask you."

"Ye Cunxin, who are you talking about?!" Liu Xiaotian's face gradually darkened.

Moreover, Tang Xiao Xiao's appearance at the time made it hard not to misunderstand.

To be precise, she looked at Liu Xiaotian with her whole face written with the two words "contempt".

Until the afternoon training ended, Qin Yuxi found him alone, dragged him to a secluded spot, her expression unpleasant, yet she still lowered her voice to ask:

"What did you do last night?"

Six or seven meters away, Ye Cunxin stood there watching them.

"With whom?" Qin Yuxi asked very directly.

So, starting from breakfast the next day, Liu Xiaotian noticed that Fan Yong and the mess hall soldiers looked at him a bit strangely. Just this—does it need embellishing?

After all, they didn't have a clear relationship, so not explaining is normal.

When Liu Xiaotian spoke, there was a hint of gnashing his teeth.

Although the two were openly preparing to "develop feelings", upon hearing the sound they still instinctively separated at once and looked in the direction the sound came from.

He is a bit "straight", but he's not an idiot.

According to his "plan", this embrace had to last at least thirty seconds so he could further feel Qin Yuxi's fine figure.

Qin Yuxi's rare blush appeared, then her eyebrows shot up again as she spoke coldly:

Qin Yuxi smiled and pursed her lips: "Owe you a favor? Why should Captain Lei owe you a favor? Don't forget, you're just temporary here, at most a tenant; now you want to renovate the landlord's place? And you expect them to thank you?"

Liu Xiaotian gave Qin Yuxi an up-and-down look of helplessness, then after a few seconds he spoke again: "I don't know what's going on with you, but since you're asking me, out of respect for you and our relationship, I'll answer you honestly; after lights-out last night I went to sleep, around midnight Tang Xiao Xiao pretended to be a ghost to scare me, she rigged a climbing rope from the roof down to outside my window, plus a wig and a white bedsheet splattered with red ink—she must have put a lot of effort into the disguise.

"You! Why didn't you say anything during morning drill?" Qin Yuxi's tone now turned to reproach.

Qin Yuxi saw Liu Xiaotian's displeasure, gave him a helpless twist at the waist: "You idiot! I didn't doubt your intentions, but when Tang Xiao Xiao left your dorm last night someone saw her, especially that white bedsheet you mentioned with a few red ink spots—if you saw it, what would you think?"

As long as you state the facts, some things are already settled, right?

Liu Xiaotian suddenly realized.

Damn, what's going on? Liu Xiaotian racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

Then I went back to sleep until reveille woke me up."

Too bad, I'm not afraid of this, so she failed, I scolded her a few times and let her go.

Saying that, he intended to first collect some "interest", reached out and pulled Qin Yuxi into his embrace.

The faint fear established the previous day had vanished; all that remained was contempt.

"With you, in a dream." Liu Xiaotian said offhandedly.

"I'm not joking with you; you'd better tell the truth!"

If you still don't understand what Qin Yuxi means by this point, aren't you just an idiot?

"Damn, those mess hall folks are too idle! I'll go ask the brigade commander for instructions, and also drill them—this also counts as Lei Zhan owing me a favor!"

As Liu Xiaotian recounted, Tang Xiao Xiao's expression grew stranger and stranger, until it completely turned into a mix of laughter and tears.

As for the two words "scumbag", Liu Xiaotian has always been rather averse to them.

After all, as a "qualified" rich second-generation, he's done some things just for show.

At least, before transmigrating, in the elevator he never even thought that after that night he'd still have any connection with that former "goddess".

But after transmigrating to this world, he's always been proper, never engaging in any improper behavior.

Regarding Qin Yuxi, he dares swear by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that he's serious! (End of chapter)
