Chapter 193: Embarrassing

Not long after, a big pot of specially extra servings of stew was completely eaten up by this gang.

Even the broth was scraped clean, not a drop left.

This fully illustrates what is meant by "half-grown kids eating their parents into poverty."

Not only this pot of ingredients, but even the side dishes prepared for the next meal were wiped out by them just like clearing a hot pot, completely gone.

Watching from the side, Dong Shilang felt heartbroken, his mouth twitching incessantly.

However, seeing his companions, whose expressions went from numb and lifeless at first to lively and vibrant, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least his efforts were not in vain.

"Speaking of Dong Shilang, you're really ruthless! Chunyan told me she still can't forget you to this day~"

After eating and drinking their fill, they naturally moved into a chatting session, and Chaoxia, who had just returned from the rear hospital, cheerfully said to Dong Shilang.

"I never expected you to be this cruel, treating a girl like this. You should know, you saw Chunyan at her most embarrassed..."

Thanks to medical ninjutsu, in just a week Chaoxia's injuries had healed. While staying at the rear hospital, she happened to meet Uchiha Chunyan, who was also recuperating there.

The two naturally started chatting, and from Chunyan's mouth Chaoxia learned of her tragic experience and that the culprit behind it all was Dong Shilang.

"???"

Ruthless, unforgettable, cruel, embarrassing.

These words combined, and happening between a man and a woman, for a moment the companions inside the tent all began to imagine things on their own, perking up their ears, and the fire of gossip in their hearts began to blaze.

They hoped to hear something even more explosive!

Seeing his companions' performance, Dong Shilang helplessly rubbed his forehead. This bunch really can't be left comfortable and idle, or they'll start thinking up nonsense.

"Chaoxia! Don't spout nonsense! Chunyan's situation was critical then, I had no choice. Although the treatment was cruel and painful a bit, it did save her life, right?"

To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Dong Shilang quickly spoke up to explain, otherwise it wouldn't take a day.

Expecting a bunch of random comments to start flying everywhere!

Upon hearing all this, it was only because Dong Shilang's actions were a bit rough when treating Chunyan that the companions couldn't help but feel disappointed.

At the same time, they all turned their heads toward Uchiha Chaoxia, hoping to hear something even more explosive from her.

This nicely satisfied their restless gossip souls!

"That's true, but a girl in front of you with tears streaming down her face has lost all restraint and dignity!"

"Given the pain and psychological trauma you caused her, Chunyan will probably remember you for a lifetime!"

Hearing Dong Shilang's explanation, Uchiha Chaoxia had no intention of letting him off; instead she continued speaking.

At the same time, her expression became more playful, her tone more ambiguous, making those companions all feel as if they'd been injected with chicken blood, getting excited.

Regarding the things Uchiha Chaoxia said, Dong Shilang also felt quite helpless. At that time Chunyan was on the brink of death, and although his treatment successfully saved her life, the pain caused was not just making her tear up.

In that life-and-death critical state, even her consciousness relied on drugs to stay awake, and her bodily functions were on the verge of losing control, inevitably leading to some...

The Uchiha Zhe and the two other clansmen helping on the side, possibly due to the battlefield's chaos, smoke, blood, and sweat smells, didn't notice anything abnormal.

As for Dong Shilang, who was treating Chunyan the whole time, he could be said to know all this inside out~

At the time she might have been too in pain to notice any of this, but after receiving treatment in the rear hospital and pulling through the danger period to regain consciousness,

Recalling everything then, she felt ashamed and indignant to the point of wanting to die, wishing she hadn't gone through that treatment and just died instead.

This made her girlish heart feel as if it had shattered into pieces!

Her whole being became devoid of will to live!

At this moment, the appearance of Uchiha Chaoxia, plus being a fellow patient, her comfort and guidance, plus her patient persuasion,

Added to Chunyan's low spirits and weak body, it was inevitable that Chaoxia's revealing the truth made her learn of this hard-to-speak-of matter.

Uchiha Chaoxia, who had just been discharged not long ago, now at this moment brought up this matter to tease Dong Shilang.

This left him momentarily unable to cope!

Although he was only trying to help her, he still ended up knowing some things he shouldn't have, and inevitably felt a bit guilty.

"Compared to this, we haven't even congratulated Longhuo on successfully awakening his Sharingan!"

Faced with Chaoxia's step-by-step pressure, Dong Shilang had to resort to a distraction tactic, bringing out Uchiha Longhuo, who had just awakened his Sharingan not long ago, to divert everyone's attention.

Although cliché, one cannot deny that this trick is still quite effective.

"Hmph! Coward~"

Regarding this, Uchiha Chaoxia was quite dissatisfied. She had prepared a lot of remarks, intending to probe his tone.

However, seeing that everyone had already shifted their attention to Longhuo, she could only helplessly mutter in dissatisfaction.

Regarding this, Dong Shilang completely turned a blind eye.

Chaoxia brought up this matter and persisted. He still had a vague understanding of its deeper meaning.

But in this wartime period, he really had no mind to engage in a life-and-death romance with a 12-year-old girl.

Not to mention the gap in their mental ages, even if we ignored that, in this situation nobody knows whether they'll still be alive in this world tomorrow.

Putting too much effort into this is really putting the cart before the horse.

The most crucial point is that both of them are only 12 years old. Even if... what could happen~

What else could happen?

With that mindset, it would be better to think about how to increase one's strength to survive this cruel Third Ninja World War, which would be more substantial.

As for other things~

Let's wait until he grows a bit more before talking about it...
