Chapter 76: Chapter 076: Just Growing Taller
“How can you say that? Am I the kind of person who would trick people?” Zhou Hong feigned displeasure.
The three nodded in unison, “You really are!”
Zhou Hong was so angered that he fell backward, glancing at Xu Qigang.
“Cough, cough…” Xu Qigang coughed, pressing his cigarette butt into the ashtray before saying, “Get out of here quickly, stop being an eyesore.”
“Captain Xu, it’s hard to explain if we go back now! Why don’t we just make do here for the night?” Wu Houhai clearly didn’t believe Zhou Hong’s words.
Li Duoxi couldn’t help but be snide when he heard about staying with Captain Xu for the night, making a cutting remark, “Scram, kid, do you think you’re a delicate young lady? Daring to take advantage of Captain Xu?” In their War Wolf Rescue Team, it was only Xu Qigang who was the most handsome and most manly.
Really, are those women out there blind or just blind?
Xu Qigang’s complexion turned so dark it seemed it could drip water.
Seeing Xu Qigang’s bad expression, Chen Baoshan quietly tugged on Wu Houhai’s sleeve, “If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you.”
Wu Houhai’s body stiffened, breaking out in a cold sweat. Damn! He got too carried away just now. He wasn’t afraid of heaven or earth, only of Captain Xu getting angry.
“Captain Xu, hehehe…we’re leaving, we’ll leave now.”
“Wait!” Xu Qigang stood up, tossing the documents on the table right at Wu Houhai with quite the heavy hand.
With a “clang,” Wu Houhai was hit so hard, it left him dizzy.
“The day after tomorrow, General Union Dance Troupe is coming over. Notify the fourth squad to take care of the joint training,” Xu Qigang said with a twinkle of mischief in his eyes.
There were a total of four squads in the War Wolf Rescue Team; three of them were thorns, but only the fourth squad was the remaining clear stream in a debris flow.
Wu Houhai caught the documents falling onto his head and glanced at their contents, immediately feeling the desire to die. Not only were the female comrades coming, but the most beautiful female comrades at that.
How could such a once-in-a-century good thing land on their heads?
“Captain Wu, the arrival of the Song and Dance Troupe has nothing to do with you,” Zhou Hong said pointedly, “Didn’t you hear Captain Xu say the fourth squad would take charge of the training?”
“You…it really is only the fourth squad that is your own flesh and blood; our first, second, and third squads are raised by a stepmother.”
As they spoke more and more out of turn, Xu Qigang simply walked over and gave a kick that sent them flying out. If his mood hadn’t been good today, he would have sent them for weighted cross-country already.
“This Wu Houhai, always the one punished worst. Never learns his lesson, only knows how to grow taller,” Zhou Hong expressed his sympathy.
The next day, Sheng Ning was practicing yoga, already hearing occasional noise from outside in the yard. The originally sound-asleep Wu Youli and Zhao Feifei woke up in the room, opening their eyes to find Sheng Ning in strange postures on the ground.
“Sheng Ning, what are you doing?”
“Practicing the basics.” Sheng Ning checked the time and thought it was about right; she couldn’t maintain her breathing rhythm calmly with the noise from outside so early in the morning. She simply got up, packed up her things, and carried the basin to wash up.
“Dancers sure do have a lot of quirks.”
Sheng Ning carried the washbasin toward the washing area. In the yard, there were two long rows of water taps. Usually, at this time, the place wasn’t very crowded, but today, it was packed.
“Did you hear? All the female comrades from the dance troupe have been assigned to the War Wolf Rescue Team.”
“Oh my God! Do they still want us to live?”
“I don’t want to die.”
“I don’t want to be disabled.”
“I’m afraid of the Living Yama.”
Sheng Ning’s eyes suddenly widened. The Song and Dance Troupe was assigned to the War Wolf Rescue Team? Impossible! In her past life, they were clearly assigned to Shen Jianguo’s team.
