Quan Shaoqing handed the water to Gu Xiaoxi, “Drink some!”
Gu Xiaoxi didn’t speak, took it, and took a sip, looking at him, “I did okay, didn’t I!”
“Not bad!” Quan Shaoqing raised her leg and noticed her ankle was badly swollen, “What did you do to yourself?
Aren’t you pretty tough, how could you twist your ankle?”
Gu Xiaoxi wiped the sweat from her face, turned away, and said to the soldier driving in front, “Buddy, it’s still very hot.
Turn down the air conditioning a bit.”
The soldier immediately nodded.
Song Jingyi was engrossed in eating, but when she suddenly heard Quan Shaoqing’s question, she stopped, looked apologetic, and said, “She was holding on to me.
I wasn’t paying attention.
Who would’ve thought that male soldier would suddenly stick out his foot?
There was a big rock in front of me; if it weren’t for her holding onto me, I would have been the one injured.
Sorry!
It’s my fault!”
Gu Xiaoxi glared at her, “Blabbermouth!”
“Was it done on purpose?” Quan Shaoqing looked up at Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi didn’t answer.
His brows were deep, he reached into the car for the swelling-reducing medicine and started to repeatedly rub her raised foot.
Even though it was a bit painful, Gu Xiaoxi endured it without a peep.
Her somewhat stubborn gaze fell on the hand on her ankle and suddenly felt that those hands were very broad, very strong, very warm.
“Yeah!
It was that Chen Xuan.
We bear no grudge against him!
Bullying our Xiao Xi…”
Gu Xiaoxi grabbed a pack of tissues from inside the car and threw it at Song Jingyi’s head, “Even eating won’t shut you up!”
Gu Xiaoxi looked towards Quan Shaoqing and snorted coldly, “I can handle this kind of thing myself.
How could I possibly be bullied by scum like that.”
Quan Shaoqing gave her a glance, his gaze suspicious, “Are you sure you can handle it?
What if he bullies you again next time, what then?”
Damn!
Listening to this, Gu Xiaoxi felt her temper flare.
Her face turned iron blue, and she emphasized to Quan Shaoqing, “I’ve only ever bullied others from when I was young; no one has ever dared to bully me.”
Of course, Quan Shaoqing was an exception.
Song Jingyi decisively shut her mouth!
The little weirdo was getting angry…
Honestly, it was all her fault.
If it weren’t for her lack of physical strength, Gu Xiaoxi wouldn’t have been injured.
What surprised Song Jingyi was that Quan Shaoqing didn’t immediately take Gu Xiaoxi to the hospital but instead had her return to the military base, “You go back first, the major general will invite you to dinner.
Tell Gao Xiong for me, Gu Xiaoxi is hurt, somewhat seriously.
I’ll take her to the Headquarters Hospital to have a look.
Also, remember to ask for three days leave on her behalf from the squad leader.”
Song Jingyi immediately straightened up, puffed out her chest, sucked in her stomach, and gave a salute, “Yes, sir!”
Of course, she was a smart person and would definitely not talk irresponsibly.
Quan Shaoqing’s car drove away.
Gu Xiaoxi moved her ankle, feeling much better.
She didn’t know what medicine he used; after rubbing it for half an hour, the swelling actually went down.
“Why are you asking for three days off for me?
What about my beef hotpot?” Gu Xiaoxi asked, perplexed.
Given her recovery progress, she could be jumping around by tomorrow morning.
She still had her mind set on her delicacy.
Quan Shaoqing lifted his beautiful eyelids, staring at Gu Xiaoxi speechlessly, “There is a live drill the day after tomorrow.
I’m taking you to observe it.
As for your hotpot, I’ll take you to the largest Beef City in A City, alright!”
Suddenly being so nice to her?
Gu Xiaoxi retreated warily, leaning against the car door, her gaze filled with suspicion as she guarded against him, “You’re not planning some nasty scheme again, are you?
I’ve already been tricked enough by you.”
Quan Shaoqing’s breath hitched, “Do I look like the kind of person who is up to no good?”
Gu Xiaoxi nodded fiercely.
Quan Shaoqing: “…”
He extended his hand in annoyance and patted Gu Xiaoxi on the shoulder.
He wanted to say, was all of this for her own good?
The car drove back to Quan Shaoqing’s command center.
At his private residence, the imposing ZO was parked downstairs.
Quan Shaoqing looked at Gu Xiaoxi, thinking about asking her if she needed assistance, when he saw Gu Xiaoxi tumble out of the other side of the car.
She seemed to be still wary of him.
Quan Shaoqing’s heart was stabbed fiercely.
What on earth had he done?
Hurt her so deeply?
So much so that she didn’t even want to deal with him?
The young soldier driving the car twitched the corner of his mouth, realizing that the only person who could make Quan Shaoqing this embarrassed was a rookie soldier.
This was a relationship he’d need to take time to study thoroughly.
Gu Xiaoxi trudged upstairs with her head down, the dim light flickering in the hallway, creating an atmosphere of profound stillness.
Quan Shaoqing followed behind Gu Xiaoxi, looking at her estranged figure with speechlessness.
Upon returning home, the night had fallen completely.
In the twilight haze, the whole military district was immersed in the night, the national flag proudly fluttering in the wind, and the guards stood with their imposing presence.
Once back, Gu Xiaoxi immersed herself in hot water.
She lay in the bathtub, letting the warm water wash away the day’s exhaustion.
Under the light, the young girl’s skin was as pale as snow, her ink-black short hair carelessly tied up at the back of her head, her lustrous and glowing face radiated the unique charm and delicate beauty of a woman. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Gu Xiaoxi’s fingers playfully poked at the bath bubbles, carefully reminiscing over the past few days.
She suddenly felt that being a soldier wasn’t as bad as she had imagined; although it was hard, it wasn’t lonely.
Unconsciously, she found herself surrounded by people like Qin Chu, Mei Su, Song Jingyi, and others.
At least she would never be lonely again!
Gu Xiaoxi clapped the bubbles in her hands and smiled at herself in the mirror, feeling beautiful.
She had gotten used to her short hair and found herself prettier and more carefree than before.
“Zookeeper, could you get me a bath towel?”
Quan Shaoqing was washing vegetables when he suddenly heard Gu Xiaoxi’s voice from the bathroom.
He frowned, his face inexplicably darkening, “This girl…”
He went to Gu Xiaoxi’s room, found a bath towel, walked to the bathroom door, and knocked, “I’ll hang it on the door.
You can get it yourself!”
Having said that, Quan Shaoqing turned and walked back to the kitchen.
However, before he reached the kitchen door, a scream came from behind him.
The sound was piercing, painfully ringing in one’s ears, and startled him into hastily rushing towards the bathroom.
The bathroom door swung open.
Inside the bathroom, under the lights, glimmering reflections danced on the crystal walls.
The girl lay naked at the edge of the bathtub, apparently having slipped.
She was holding her ankle, her face twisted in pain as she bent over.
It seemed that upon hearing the noise of the door, Gu Xiaoxi instinctively turned her head to look towards it.
She locked eyes directly with Quan Shaoqing, who was opening the door.
“Ah!” Another scream echoed to the skies.
