Chapter 88: Chapter 88 I Approved Your Vacation
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Indeed, like master, like servant. It’s wise of others to fear him.”
Xu Qigang noticed Sheng Ning’s gaze and subconsciously let go of Guo Siming’s hand. He knew many people were afraid of him, and he had always been indifferent to it, but he particularly didn’t want to frighten her.
“Do you… do you want to cripple me?” Guo Siming complained, covering his wrist.
“Fine! I’m afraid of you.” Guo Siming turned to Sheng Ning and said, “You’re fine, just go home and rest, drink some hot water with brown sugar, and if there’s no brown sugar, boiling water with ginger will do. Try to avoid vigorous activities in the next few days.”
“You’re welcome.” Guo Siming waved his hand and stealthily glared at Xu Qigang, curious about the relationship between the two, that Living Yama would personally escort her.
However, having already provoked Living Yama today, he didn’t dare to ask further and impatiently shooed them away.
On the way there, Xu Qigang had personally carried her, but on the way back, Sheng Ning insisted on walking by herself. Actually, she was fine, just suffering from severe menstrual cramps compounded by vigorous activities.
A few days of rest would suffice.
The distance from the medical office to the dormitory was somewhat far. Like a deep, unmoving mountain, Xu Qigang stood beside Sheng Ning, silent all the way, his brows slightly furrowed.
Sheng Ning stole a glance at him, secretly comparing him to Xu Xianxiong. In her thoughts, although Xu Qigang was much more handsome than his father, the bandit air about him was exactly the same. Moreover, it was evident that he was smarter, or he wouldn’t have achieved what he had today.
His folks back home couldn’t possibly imagine how well Xu Qigang was doing now.
“What are you thinking about?” Xu Qigang’s dark pupils seemed to see through people’s hearts.
“I was thinking about how to thank you,” Sheng Ning replied quickly, smiling slightly as she formally introduced herself, “I am Sheng Ning.”
“I am Xu Qigang.” He introduced himself seriously.
Sheng Ning couldn’t help but laugh, “I know. I suppose there’s no one in the union who doesn’t know of Captain Xu’s reputation.”
“Then you aren’t afraid of me?” The bright light in Xu Qigang’s dark pupils was intensely hot. He felt a sense of déjà vu when he first saw her, but truly started to notice her because she let him carry her to the hospital.
From his childhood, Xu Qigang could be said to be a repellent to women. As a child in his hometown, people would avoid him far away when they heard he was the son of Zuo Qinglong and Right White Tiger.
On the battlefield, his aura of killing had nearly become substantial.
Not just women, even ordinary men would avoid him by a wide margin.
But she alone was brave enough to catch his attention, and fragile enough to make him feel pained. This unfamiliar emotion made Xu Qigang think it was a psychological issue caused by the aftereffects of the rescue. He even specifically went to the hospital and, seeing her talk to Shen Jianguo there, he knew it had nothing to do with any aftereffects.
“Not afraid!” Sheng Ning shook her head, her eyes shimmering like autumn waters. Originally wanting to question why he rejected her, the words returned to her throat.
Currently, she wasn’t qualified to stand by his side. She must work doubly hard to shine so brightly that no one could cover her radiance, only then would she earn the right to stand by his side and question him, ‘Why reject her?’
Halfway through their walk, they encountered countless comrades. When they saw their own captain walking with a woman, they nearly fell over in shock, all showing bewildered expressions.
Just then, someone came looking for him. Xu Qigang glanced coldly at Sheng Ning and said, “I’ve approved your leave.” With that, he left with the others.
