Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was already noon break.

Xiao Jiao Jin hurriedly arrived at the Zhenxi General's camp tent. He looked at the two guards standing at the tent entrance and asked, "Is the Zhenxi General inside?"

One of the guards replied, "He is."

Xiao Jiao Jin hastily said, "Please announce me; I have an important matter to report to the Zhenxi General."

The guard nodded, turned, and walked into the tent. Before long, the guard came out and said to Xiao Jiao Jin, "The General asks you to enter."

Xiao Jiao Jin thanked the guard, stepped into the tent. At a glance he saw the Zhenxi General sitting at the table, so he quickly stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said, "General, the identities of those two people — I have already found them out."

The Zhenxi General lifted his eyelids expressionlessly, his gaze slowly settling on Xiao Jiao Jin, and said unhurriedly, "Mm, continue."

Seeing this, Xiao Jiao Jin steadied himself slightly, then continued his report unhurriedly: "The slightly shorter one is called Wang Ming'an, the taller one is called Luo Shun. This Luo Shun is……"

While listening to Xiao Jiao Jin's report, the Zhenxi General was secretly pondering in his heart. His brows furrowed slightly, as if thinking about something important.

Only after Xiao Jiao Jin finally finished speaking did the Zhenxi General ask, "This Wang Ming'an and Luo Shun — did they know each other before, or only after they arrived?"

Xiao Jiao Jin hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the General, they only got to know each other after arriving."

The Zhenxi General nodded slightly, indicating he understood, then instructed further, "Mm, you go investigate Liujiacun in Chungu City, see if there is a person called Wang Ming'an there."

Although Xiao Jiao Jin had some doubts in his heart, he still respectfully answered, "Yes, I will go investigate at once."

The Zhenxi General waved his hand, signaling Xiao Jiao Jin could withdraw. Seeing this, Xiao Jiao Jin retreated from the tent as if granted amnesty.

However, his heart still kept pondering unceasingly. Just what was this Wang Ming'an's background? Why would the Zhenxi General pay him such attention? Could there be something wrong with his identity?

He thought for a good while but couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Then he ordered his subordinates to investigate the relevant matters.

Time flew swiftly; a day's time passed in a flash. By evening, Qianqian, after a whole day of high-intensity training, was already exhausted and sore all over.

Since she had only arrived here yesterday and wasn't quite used to it yet, she merely gave her face a quick wash and brushed her teeth, then hurried back to the tent to sleep.

However, today's situation was different. After two days of training, Qianqian had sweated a lot, and her body felt sticky.

So she proposed fetching some hot water to soak their feet. Luo Shun agreed, and the two of them went together to fetch hot water, then returned to their own tent to prepare to wash up.

Luo Shun plopped down opposite Qianqian, quickly took off his shoes, casually rolled his trouser legs up above his knees, and then stuck both feet into the foot basin.

The hot water's temperature was just right, making him feel incomparably comfortable; he couldn't help letting out a light breath, and at the same time narrowed his eyes, thoroughly enjoying this moment of relaxation.

Qianqian did the same, placing her feet into the foot basin. When she opened her eyes, she happened to meet Luo Shun's gaze.

In that instant, Luo Shun's gaze involuntarily fell on Qianqian's lower legs. He discovered with surprise that Qianqian's lower legs were not only fair, but also incomparably slender, as if they would snap with the lightest bend.

By comparison, Luo Shun felt he was already thin enough, yet Qianqian was actually two sizes thinner than him, and on her lower legs there wasn't even a single leg hair!

Luo Shun was stunned dumbfounded by his own discovery; he stared with wide eyes, face full of disbelief, staring at the frail man before him — Brother Ming'an.

He simply couldn't understand how a grown man could be this emaciated, and moreover have not a single leg hair on his legs!

Luo Shun was a straight-shooter who couldn't keep things in his heart, so he asked directly without hesitation: "Brother Ming'an, why are you so thin? You'll have to eat more rice from now on! But, how come you don't even have any leg hair?"

As soon as the words fell, Luo Shun suddenly realized he seemed to have asked a bit too bluntly; he glanced somewhat embarrassedly at Qianqian beside him, only to see Qianqian's complexion instantly turn a bit unnatural.

Qianqian cursed herself inwardly for being so slow, not noticing Luo Shun's oddness. However, she quickly regained her composure and hurriedly said softly to Luo Shun, "Brother Luo, lower your voice!"

Hearing this, Luo Shun immediately shut his mouth, but his gaze remained full of curiosity fixed on Qianqian, as if waiting for her further explanation.

Seeing this, Qianqian felt a pang of alarm in her heart, but on the surface she still feigned calm and said, "Brother Luo, actually this has always been my secret; you must keep it for me, absolutely do not tell anyone! After all, for a big man like me, it's really too humiliating!"

Although Luo Shun didn't quite understand Qianqian's meaning, seeing her so serious an expression, he didn't dare ask further, just honestly nodded, indicating he would keep this secret. Then he continued quietly watching Qianqian, waiting for her next explanation.

Qianqian said with a worried face: "Don't mention it, Brother Luo, my leg hair has always been pitifully sparse! Because of this, I've always been mocked as a sissy. Sigh, I'm almost annoyed to death! Later I simply couldn't bear it, and didn't even dare let anyone see my legs."

As he spoke, he even put on a very aggrieved appearance, as if he had suffered a tremendous injustice.

Seeing this, Luo Shun hurriedly comforted: "Brother Ming'an, don't be sad! Actually, how much leg hair one has has nothing to do with whether someone is a sissy; it mainly depends on each person's constitution.

Don't take others' opinions too much to heart; your own happiness is what's most important! And rest assured, I definitely won't spread this; I guarantee that besides the two of us, absolutely no third person will know!"

Hearing Luo Shun say this, Qianqian's mood seemed to improve a little; she slowly raised her head, looked at Luo Shun gratefully, and said, "Many thanks, Brother Luo, for keeping my secret; otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."

Seeing Qianqian's mood improve, Luo Shun hurriedly seized the chance to change the subject; the two chatted a while longer, and unknowingly time passed.

After a while, the two finished soaking their feet, each put their shoes back on, then together poured out the foot-washing water. After everything was tidied up properly, they could prepare to sleep.

Qianqian was just about to lie down when she suddenly discovered the pillow seemed a bit uneven, so she casually picked up the pillow, wanting to pat it a few times to make it more comfortable.
