CHAPTER 265: CHAPTER 265: BATTLE FOR AFFECTION IN THE ASURA FIELD

The two’s gaze collided in mid-air, and Shuangshuang saw the challenge in the other’s eyes.

Qin Shuang, who was watching from the side, silently squeezed a sweat for Su Xiaoxiao.

The fault lies only in this girl being too attractive.

I wonder how she’s going to handle this situation?

A twinge of gossip rose in Qin Shuang’s heart, her eyes awkwardly waiting to see how Su Xiaoxiao would deal with the two.

Su Xiaoxiao slightly frowned, then quickly relaxed. It’s not impossible to have one birthday, she’ll just have to host one less meal, and having the three together wouldn’t give others room for gossip.

She promptly said, "Alright, I’ll treat you two to dinner after work tomorrow, hurry up and get back to work, see you later."

With one sentence, she dismissed them both.

Qin Shuang widened her eyes, surprised at her skillful handling - was that it? What happened to the promised rivalry love drama?

The two exchanged glances, simultaneously frowned - they underestimated her. What started as a duo became a trio, this...

"Alright, it’s late, the matchmaking event is about to start, hurry up and get inside, don’t waste time, soon someone will take away the girl you fancy, and you’ll be the ones crying."

Su Xiaoxiao waved them off with a smile, eager to get these troublemakers out.

Director Chen said, if they perform this etiquette well, there’ll be an extra five yuan bonus at the end of the month.

If these two linger around, and catch Director Chen’s eye, her bonus might be gone.

Zhou Cheng pursed his lips, "Comrade Su, I joined the event because of you; wherever you are, I’ll be there."

Song Weidong also added his commitment, "Comrade Su, the only one I’m interested in is you, others don’t appeal to me."

Goodness, these two confessed right on the spot.

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless, hadn’t she just explained? She wasn’t interested in this matchmaking event, couldn’t they not hang themselves on her crooked tree—uh, beautiful flower?

Looking at the two standing beside her like gatekeepers, Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her temples in annoyance.

Have they not seen that many military comrades passing by were secretly glancing at the three of them?

These two were really eye-catching, even with her thick skin, she was starting to feel the pressure.

She silently covered her face with her hands, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into. Had she known it would be like this, she shouldn’t have come for that five yuan to be etiquette.

All dignity for five yuan was about to be lost.

At this time, a young male comrade came over to Zhou Cheng, whispered something in his ear.

Zhou Cheng frowned slightly, turned to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Comrade Su, I’ve got something to do, I’ll be leaving for now."

Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, finally, someone was leaving.

Before leaving, Zhou Cheng glanced warningly at Song Weidong before following the person away.

With the competitor gone, Song Weidong was in high spirits, ready to cultivate some feelings with Comrade Su.

Just as he was about to speak, someone called him from behind.

"Sergeant Song, Commissioner Zhou has some matters for you."

Song Weidong’s face immediately darkened, what did Commissioner Zhou want with him? He finally got the chance to be alone with Comrade Su, and he hadn’t even uttered a single word yet.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Comrade Su, I have something to attend to now, I’ll come find you later at the event."

Su Xiaoxiao was eager for him to leave, didn’t listen closely to what he said, happily waved him off, "Alright, Comrade Song, you go ahead, see you later!" She felt like a monkey in a circus, people passing by wanted to take extra glances at her.

Great, with the two gone, she wouldn’t be on display like a monkey anymore.

When Song Weidong’s figure disappeared from sight, Su Xiaoxiao finally breathed out in relief.

Across from her, Qin Shuang looked over with a gossiping expression, "Xiaoxiao, which of these two male comrades do you like?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I already have someone I like, those two aren’t my type."

Qin Shuang immediately widened her eyes, those two male comrades were exceptionally good-looking, young with one being a sergeant, the other a captain, likely with a bright future ahead.

This girl actually didn’t fancy them, the person she liked must be really outstanding.

Her gossipy curiosity burned fiercely, and when she saw no one around, she quickly ran to Su Xiaoxiao’s side, "Xiaoxiao, tell me, what’s the person you like like? Do I know him?"

"You not only know him but undoubtedly also like him."

Su Xiaoxiao confidently said.

Qin Shuang frowned, aside from the child playmate her family set up, she had never liked anyone else.

How could she be competing with Su Xiaoxiao for a man? Could there be some misunderstanding here?

Just about to explain, she heard Su Xiaoxiao say, "He’s the handsome and wealthy His Highness the God of Wealth."

Qin Shuang: "..."

There was no refuting this, she did really like him, and wished every day to worship him thrice and pray for the God of Wealth to help her make big money.

While the two were chatting idly, they heard noise coming from the small canteen that was serving as the temporary location for the matchmaking event, the sound was growing louder.

By now, all the military comrades participating had gone inside, the two were idle and curious, so they peeked in.

But the people inside blocked the entrance tightly, making it impossible to see what was happening.

A crowd surrounded tightly with layers encircling, and someone occasionally shouted cheers.

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled, wasn’t this a blind date event? Why did it resemble a martial arts contest?

Relying on their petite stature, the two squeezed through the crowd, quickly making it to the innermost circle.

Finally clear about the situation in front.

Two tall, strong young military comrades had their elbows propped on a dining table, their robust hands clasped together tightly, exerting force, veins bulging high on hand backs, showing they were fiercely competing.

It wasn’t a martial arts contest to win a bride, what were these two doing?

Curiously, Su Xiaoxiao poked a military comrade beside her.

"Comrade, could you please tell me, what are they doing?"

The person was watching intently, suddenly disturbed, looked over with slight irritation, then froze facing a delicate fair face.

The female comrade in front had dark hair and snow-white skin, exquisite, elegant features, he had never seen such an attractive female comrade.

The words at the tip of his tongue turned stuttered, "Well... it’s... just..."

The male comrade’s face flushed red, stammering, after a long while he finally explained the situation.

Turns out as soon as they entered, they both took a liking to a female comrade.

Both wanted to talk to her first but weren’t giving up, unable to settle the matter, they agreed to resolve who goes first by arm wrestling.

Right now the contest was at its crucial stage.

Su Xiaoxiao widened her eyes in curiosity, anciently heroes have raged for beauty, but today, there are two military comrades arm wrestling for a female comrade, interesting, entertaining.

"By the way, comrade, do you know which female comrade they’re competing for?"
