CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 149: WILL YOU COME BACK?

Lin Xiaoyan slowly lay down, "Hmm, He Qi’an really looks good, a tough guy’s face, gives a sense of security, and he’s quite capable. It’s normal for someone to be interested in him."

"But he’s too straightforward when he talks. As a boyfriend, he might just drive someone mad, hahaha..."

Lu Lan imagined it and laughed along with her.

"But still, there are quite a few people who want to date our leader! Even if he doesn’t talk much and always has a cold face, some people just like that type!"

"True, it’s like the saying, ’each to their own taste.’

As they talked, Lin Xiaoyan lost her drowsiness. She propped her head, looking at Lu Lan.

"You always call He Qi’an ’leader,’ was he in the same unit as you before?"

Lu Lan thought for a moment, figuring it wasn’t a secret, so she told Lin Xiaoyan.

"He was the captain of our special forces team.

He was also the king of soldiers in our military district!

Our Wild Wolf Squad was founded by him..."

Hearing Lu Lan’s words, Lin Xiaoyan was shocked and slightly opened her mouth. So, He Qi’an was that impressive before!

Talking about He Qi’an, Lu Lan’s eyes shone with admiration for the strong.

It was very late, and they had important things to do the next day, so they didn’t talk much longer and each went to rest.

On the other side, He Qi’an was assigned to the Wild Wolf Squad’s dormitory.

Seeing He Qi’an again, everyone was thrilled.

Shi Nan brought He Qi’an to the dormitory, snorted coldly, "Go sleep on that bed!"

He Qi’an nodded silently, "Alright."

He took his luggage to the bed and quietly unpacked.

The others looked at each other, and finally, their gaze landed on He Qi’an.

Suddenly, they all reached for He Qi’an.

It was as if He Qi’an had eyes on his back, swiftly rolling away to dodge the sneak attack.

"Wow, still got those sharp moves!" Shi Nan leaned against the door, arms crossed, motioning for the others to keep practicing.

He Qi’an’s face darkened, and he gave the eager boys a warning look.

"Lights out soon, behave!"

"I don’t care! You left without a word, you owe us an explanation!"

"Yeah! You said you’d just go home, but you never came back, leader, you owe us an explanation!"

"Yeah, yeah, leader..."

...

Listening to their questions, He Qi’an’s complex gaze swept over each of their faces.

His heart ached bitterly. Did he want to leave?

When he founded the Wild Wolf Squad, he thought he’d stay until some mission might cause his demise...

He never thought about leaving the army, leaving the Wild Wolf Team.

But, life is unpredictable, and he left without telling anyone.

This time he heard the Wild Wolf Team had a mission, he hesitated for a long time, and eventually volunteered to join.

He thought it was time to settle things.

Seeing those comrades he’d faced life and death with, his heart was both excited and guilty.

He Qi’an remained silent for a long time, not explaining why he left back then.

Shi Nan squinted his eyes slightly and huffed coldly, "Pack up and rest, training early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes."

Everyone understood Shi Nan’s words, guessed that the leader probably had his secrets, and didn’t press further.

Everyone quietly lay down to rest.

Shi Nan leaned against the door, looking at He Qi’an.

"Wanna go for a walk?"

He Qi’an looked at Shi Nan. After leaving the Wild Wolf Team, he recommended Shi Nan as the team’s captain, and now it seemed he’d led well.

He Qi’an nodded and went out with Shi Nan.

The two went to a secluded spot and stood there.

A quiet atmosphere surrounded them, and they didn’t speak for a long time.

Finally, Shi Nan couldn’t hold back any longer and looked at He Qi’an.

"Don’t you have anything to say?"

He Qi’an looked at the dim light above, "Say what? What do you want to ask?"

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye? The Wild Wolf Team is your creation, it took so much to get here, why would you leave just like that?"

He Qi’an withdrew his gaze and looked at Shi Nan, "Something happened at home, so I had to leave."

Hearing this, Shi Nan was taken aback for a moment.

He Qi’an’s family background had always been a mystery. From the day he joined the army, he hadn’t told anyone about his family situation.

Except for the military commander, no one else knew.

It could be said that everything He Qi’an achieved in the army was through his own efforts.

His current achievements showed that He Qi’an was very capable.

Shi Nan fell silent.

If he couldn’t talk about it, then Shi Nan wouldn’t ask further.

"You’ll command this mission." Shi Nan looked at He Qi’an and said.

He Qi’an’s gaze was sharp, "I’m just a regular captain in the police department now, I have no right to command."

"But in our hearts, you’ll always be..."

"Only in your hearts!" He Qi’an interrupted Shi Nan with a cold face.

"Have you forgotten how I taught you before?"

Shi Nan looked at He Qi’an, his spirit dampened, and opened his mouth.

"Will you... come back?"

He Qi’an looked at Shi Nan, not answering for a long time.

After chatting for a while, they went back.

When they reached the dormitory door, He Qi’an softly said, "I’m not coming back."

Shi Nan paused with his hand on the door, and He Qi’an reached out, opened the door, and patted his shoulder.

"Rest up."

A quiet night passed.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Lin Xiaoyan was awakened by the sound of a bugle.

She opened her eyes and saw Lu Lan already dressed neatly, quickly folding the blanket.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyan hurried to get up.

"Do we... have assembly?"

Lin Xiaoyan grabbed her clothes and started putting them on.

Hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s voice, Lu Lan looked over, "No, it’s our morning training time, you can sleep a little longer, it usually ends in about two hours."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."

Lu Lan quickly got everything in order, said something to Lin Xiaoyan, and then went out.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her phone, it was only 4:50, and there wasn’t any signal.

She yawned, set an alarm for an hour later, and went back to sleep.

An hour later, Lin Xiaoyan was awakened by the alarm, looked at the empty dormitory, and the faint sounds of training outside, her sleepiness was gone.

Lin Xiaoyan got up, amazed by Lu Lan’s perfectly folded ’tofu block’ blanket.

She walked around Lu Lan’s blanket, wanting to fold hers.

However, after about twenty minutes of struggling, her blanket was still limp and couldn’t form those edges.

In the end, Lin Xiaoyan gave up.

She quickly washed up, packed her things, ensuring she had everything, and walked out of the dormitory toward the next one.

She wanted to find Xuan Shiyi and the others, to ask what was on the agenda for the day.

After knocking for a long time, she discovered Xuan Shiyi and the others weren’t in their dormitory.

Instead, she managed to knock Shui Yuanyu out.
