Chapter 631: Disapproval
For Chen Feitang, Zhu Qianlan was no better than an ignorant village girl. The way she talked to her like that, without regard to her military ranking or even the stripes on her uniform, there was no difference between Zhu Qianlan and a hog.
“It concerns you not whether I defend my comrade. Aren’t you the witness? Go and find out yourself!” Chen Feitang smirked. “Don’t forget about the consequences. If you are brave enough, go for it!”
She looked at Zhu Qianlan side-eyed after she finished speaking.
She was a little conflicted and hesitant. She wanted Zhu Qianlan to go ahead and disturb Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi’s peace and alone time.
But, she was afraid that she would make things worse and embarrass Lu Xingzhi. After all, there were a lot of people around, including many members of the military.
Carried by Lu Xingzhi, Jiang Yao gave up on trying to escape his grasp.
She gave him a vicious glare when she was put down. “Please let me know earlier if you want to carry me, I would have prepared a small pillow to put in between your shoulder and my belly. It hurts!”
Lu Xingzhi was not sure if Jiang Yao was mad.
“Say, what do you mean?” Lu Xingzhi gently rubbed her stomach and muttered under his breath. “I won’t carry you on my shoulders next time then.”
“Nothing!” Jiang Yao shook her head and gave Lu Xingzhi a little shove. “I meant nothing.”
Lu Xingzhi raised his head and looked at Jiang Yao with a dour expression.
A few seconds later, in a serious tone, he asked, “Are you tired of me?”
Jiang Yao was startled.
What was he getting at?
“You were upset the entire morning just because you wiped your face with the towel I used last night. If it isn’t that, I don’t know what it is!” Lu Xingzhi could not take it anymore.
It felt just like before when Jiang Yao had nothing but contempt for everything he did for her.
It was then Jiang Yao realized that she needed to make things clear, in case Lu Xingzhi took it the wrong way.
Putting her indifference away, she sighed and put her hand on Lu Xingzhi’s face. “No, that is not it. I just thought it was very unhygienic. Plus, it was my fault, I wasn’t paying attention in the morning. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Well, it’s still a part of the body, right?” said Lu Xingzhi. “We use the same towel and washbasin for everything in the platoon.”
He would not have prepared a few spare washbasins and fresh towels in the platoon if he did not know Jiang Yao’s particularity.
“Things are a little tough here, that’s why I didn’t think much about it,” explained Lu Xingzhi. “I know you are a big proponent of cleanliness and hygiene. Once we get out of this place, I promise I will not be so unkempt and sloppy.”
Jiang Yao nodded. “I didn’t think you were sloppy, I was just a little annoyed. Think about this, would you want to wipe your face with the socks you are wearing now?”
