"Second Lieutenant Xiao."
Lin Qi stood in the shade of the tree and waved at Xiao Jing, who was muttering to herself.
Xiao Jing stood up. Seeing that he was greeting her, she jogged over and asked, "Is there something wrong Lieutenant Colonel Lin?"
Lin Qi looked around and after making sure that no one was paying attention to them, he carefully stuffed the steamed buns he had hidden into Xiao Jing's hands. He grinned and had a simple and honest face.
Xiao Jing lowered her head and looked at the slightly warm steamed bun in her palm. She smiled and said, "Did you steal it for me?"
"Hurry up and eat. There will be training later in the afternoon. How can we survive without some food?"
Lin Qi stood in front of him and looked around, making sure that no one disturbed Xiao Jing's meal behind him.
Xiao Jing devoured the steamed bun in large mouthfuls. The taste of the steamed bun was like that of Xu Ji's roast duck it melted immediately upon entering her mouth.
Seeing his satisfied expression, Lin Qi took out a bottle of water from his pocket and whispered, "Don't be anxious, eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
Xiao Jing raised her fist and lightly pressed it against Lin Qi's shoulder. She smiled and said, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have starved to death."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are comrades-in-arms. Even if it's against the rules, I can't just watch our Second Lieutenant Xiao train with hunger."
Xiao Jing drank a big mouthful of water. Just as she was about to continue munching on the steamed bun, her hands suddenly stopped.
Lin Qi did not understand the meaning of the fear in his eyes. He turned around and looked in the direction he was aiming at.
Shen Chengfeng was standing five meters away from the two of them. His gaze was fixated on Xiao Jing's delicious steamed bun.
Xiao Jing's heart skipped a beat. She stuffed all the steamed buns into her mouth in an attempt to destroy the evidence. However, before she could swallow them, she discovered that she was choked.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Xiao Jing hammered her chest. She wanted to drink some water in a panic, but she was afraid that she would spit it out if she swallowed it, so she forcefully swallowed the steamed bun.
Shen Chengfeng was still standing where he was without moving as he stared at the two despicable men unblinkingly.
Lin Qi trotted over and straightened his body, "Captain."
"I remember that as the last to arrive, as punishment he doesn't have any food to eat today. Why do you intend to feed him?"
Shen Chengfeng automatically ignored the choked body and looked at Lin Qi's upright body.
Lin Qi replied, "He's my comrade."
"So you can stupidly violate my rules?"
"I just —"
"Your explanation isn't convincing. Since you keep saying that he is your comrade, then you will be punished together with your comrade."
Shen Chengfeng glanced at Xiao Jing, who had finally swallowed it. He pointed to the area B behind him, "Three hours of continuous training."
"Captain, it's my fault. Lieutenant Colonel Lin—"
"Four hours."
Shen Chengfeng interrupted Xiao Jing's nonsense.
Xiao Jing gritted her teeth and held her tongue.
"Let's begin."
Shen Chengfeng looked at the time and was sure what time it was.
Lin Qi turned around and without making a sound, he ran straight to the training grounds.
"Still not moving?"
Shen Chengfeng stared at Xiao Jing, who seemed to be plotting something, and emphasized his words.
"Yes, sir."
Xiao Jing turned around and ran into the training area.
The sunlight was so scorching that it was like a fireball that it evaporated the moisture of the entire land. There seemed to be the smell of sparks in the air, making one's mouth and tongue dry.
Lin Qi hung on the pole as he looked at Xiao Jing, who was getting more and more helpless, and said in a low voice, "Can you still hold on?"
Xiao Jing nodded, "Yes, I will."
Lin Qi supported his almost falling body, "Take it slow, and control the balance well."
Just like that, Xiao Jing laid on a wooden stake, sweat blurring her vision. She felt like her heart was beating wildly, like her flesh was about to burst out at any moment.
"Lieutenant Colonel Lin, Second Lieutenant Xiao."
The young officer ran into the training area and said, "The captain said that you can be dismissed."
Xiao Jing flipped her body over and directly rolled off the pile. She felt that her breath was filled with heat waves.
Lin Qi frowned. It seemed like only an hour had passed.
The little officer affirmed once again, "The captain asked Second Lieutenant Xiao to go to his dorm. You can also return to your dorm Lieutenant Colonel Lin"
