Ning Xia and the deputy officer stared at each other for nearly a minute before both heaved a sigh.
"What are you sighing about? I barely made it back from the Gate of Death, and now I have to placate an irate Bo Siyan. My future is all doom and gloom," she couldn't help but complain.
With a mournful expression, the deputy officer said, "Miss Ning, do you think I don't have to face punishment? Failing to protect you is a grave offense, my future is dark too!"
Just thinking about the cold glare the colonel gave him before leaving today sent chills through his heart.
The colonel must be disappointed in him, he's going to fall out of favor, boohoo~
Ahem! Speaking of which, she had dragged him into this mess...
A bit embarrassed, Ning Xia gave his shoulder a reassuring pat and said, "Alright, I'll take you out for a drink. Let's be miserable brothers in arms and drink away our sorrows today; we can worry about the future tomorrow."
