CHAPTER 297: CHAPTER 169-170: ACCIDENT/CLASH 3

"Squad Leader, can Qingchu and I help Li Qing back?" Yao Juanjuan looked at Yu Na with hopeful eyes.

"Sure, you two go back together, take good care of Li Qing, and after she’s feeling better, take her to bathe."

"Thank you, Squad Leader!"

Yaoguang dropped the grass she had just picked up on the ground: "Yu Na, you are the squad leader indeed, but isn’t it a bit too unprincipled to make such a decision in order to please the members of the squad?"

Yu Na wasn’t annoyed, she looked at Yaoguang with a smile: "This isn’t about pleasing anyone. I agreed because Li Qing needs care. Otherwise, why don’t you go take a rest too?" She paused to think, then looked at Luo Ye Xingnong: "If you’re really too tired, you can go back as well. I’ll handle the rest."

Luo Ye glanced at Yu Na carelessly and instantly smiled brightly: "Thanks, Squad Leader. Xingnong, Yaoguang, obeying orders is the duty of a soldier. Let’s go back!"

Watching the group leaving, Yu Na felt frustrated, unable to get over it.

"Cool!" Wu Zetian watched Luo Ye’s figure and gave a thumbs-up, but feeling Yu Na’s cold gaze, he quickly clapped his hands: "Squad Leader Zhan, we’ve finished our tasks, can we go back now?"

"Help Squad Leader Yu to clean up the grass." Zhan Hao gestured, leading everyone to clear out the remaining grass, finding the little squabble among the girls both amusing and funny.

Luo Ye’s actions had actually earned his respect. He was willing to help, firstly, out of a man’s responsibility, and secondly, he didn’t want to leave Yu Na alone here, drawing attention, which could lead to punishment for Luo Ye and the others.

He didn’t agree with what Yu Na did just now. Being a squad leader meant uniting everyone around you, managing both up and down, and gathering the "squad" together as a close community.

It was not about individual heroism, nor about winning obedience through flattery, nor about saying things that aren’t sincere, causing people to make conscious choices.

...

"Wow, Luoluo, didn’t expect you to be so well-built. Come on, let me have a feel!" In the steamy bathroom, Xingnong reached out to tease Luo Ye, who swiftly dodged under the faucet, "Yaoguang, touch, I’ve got her for you!"

Yaoguang looked Xingnong up and down, then purposefully stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips: "Little Xingxing, where do you want me to touch first?"

"Try and touch me, I’ll make you regret it for ten lifetimes!" Xingnong glared and puffed up her cheeks, threatening Yaoguang.

Luo Ye let go of Xingnong: "Stop messing around, hurry up and wash, or you’ll end up going back with soap suds all over you. Let’s see how naughty you can be then."

Xingnong rolled her eyes and ultimately didn’t dare to think wrong again. Luo Ye’s skills were something she could only watch helplessly.

A bored Nong glanced outside and caught sight of Li Qing leaving the bathroom, sighed, and mentioned to Luo Ye and Xingnong, "Doesn’t Li Qing’s frail little figure look like she came from a refugee camp? How does she survive?"

"The potential of humans is limitless. If she wants to stay, she will make it," Luo Ye speeded up her actions, "Don’t dawdle, hurry up and wash."

Just as Luo Ye and the others finished dressing, Yu Na came with a basin, giving them a faint smile and greeted, "Finished washing?"

Xingnong replied with a mischievous smile, "Yes, Squad Leader, hurry up, there are only ten minutes left for the hot water supply."

"No problem, I can finish in five minutes."

"Lu... Luoluo, am I seeing things?" Xingnong rubbed her eyes vigorously; within a few words, Yu Na had already stripped and entered the bathroom.

"You’re not seeing things. She has been in military special training since the sixth grade of elementary school. This kind of speed is normal." Luo Ye patted Yaoguang soothingly, "You’ll get used to it after a while." This girl, aside from being natural with the three of them, always looked timid when facing others.

"Little rascal." Xingnong pinched Yaoguang’s rosy cheeks with satisfaction, exhaling contentedly, "Feels as good as Lu Lu."

Yaoguang rolled her eyes, "No way, you’re still thinking about Lu Lu’s touch?"

"Jealous, aren’t you?"

"..."

...

"Ah, my beautiful long hair will soon be ’snip’ gone. It pains my heart and my liver."

As Luo Ye and the others entered the dormitory, Yao Juanjuan was nostalgically facing the mirror, while Bai Qingchu and Li Qing were grasping their long hair, looking reluctant to part with it.

"Have you all finished washing too?" Li Qing greeted with a smile; Bai Qingchu merely nodded at them, and Yao Juanjuan chose to ignore them. Clearly, in just a short while, Yu Na’s intention had been achieved, with Bai Qingchu and Yao Juanjuan clearly standing on Yu Na’s side.

Xingnong hesitated for a moment, "Li Qing, don’t be upset, but I want to ask you something."
