CHAPTER 150: CHAPTER 150: SO ANNOYING

Shui Yuanyu stood at the door, looking at Lin Xiaoyan, "They went out early."

"Oh..." Lin Xiaoyan replied awkwardly.

Shui Yuanyu sized up Lin Xiaoyan, "Are you and Second Young Master He... dating?"

Hearing Shui Yuanyu’s question, Lin Xiaoyan frowned, "No!"

Shui Yuanyu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s denial. He thought, there’s no way Lin Xiaoyan would catch Second Young Master He’s eye!

But...

Shui Yuanyu looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "Your relationship seems pretty good."

"Oh, maybe it’s because we’re both in Sea City, so we intersect at work." Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the time, Lu Lan should be back soon. She might as well return to the dormitory and wait.

"I’ll return to the dormitory first." After saying a word to Shui Yuanyu, Lin Xiaoyan turned around and headed back to the dormitory, closing the door behind her.

Her furrowed brow didn’t relax, as she recalled yesterday’s interaction with He Qi’an. Yesterday, she was too caught up in feeling uncomfortable to notice anything else.

But she was sure that He Qi’an had no thoughts about her.

He took care of her purely for work reasons.

And, she wouldn’t have any thoughts about He Qi’an; she likes... (Yang Lin’s figure flashed through her mind).

Those words "gentle and considerate" were almost worn out these days. In truth, what she really wanted to say was, if she were to find a boyfriend, it would probably be someone like Yang Lin... sigh...

"Xiao Yan, are you up?"

Lu Lan’s voice interrupted Lin Xiaoyan’s thoughts, and she looked up to see Lu Lan covered in sweat, her clothes soaked through.

However, in this way, she looked even more handsome!

Lin Xiaoyan quickly got up, "I’m up, and I’ve tidied myself."

Lu Lan panted slightly, smiling, "Alright, I’ll freshen up and change my clothes, then take you to eat."

"Okay."

Lu Lan moved quickly, finishing her freshening up in a few minutes, and strode forward, leading Lin Xiaoyan towards the canteen.

Lin Xiaoyan hurriedly followed, noticing Shui Yuanyu and a few others walking behind a soldier towards the canteen.

"Up ahead is the canteen, you..." Lu Lan turned back to speak to Lin Xiaoyan and found her panting and jogging behind.

Lu Lan came to her senses and stopped immediately, "Sorry, I’m used to walking quickly."

Lin Xiaoyan panted slightly, feeling equally embarrassed, "No problem, I don’t exercise much, so even this short distance left me breathless, hahaha..."

Lu Lan looked at Lin Xiaoyan’s frail body and reached out to support her.

Lin Xiaoyan laughed awkwardly, "It’s alright, really, I’m fine. It’s just that my legs are short; you take one step, I have to take one and a half, haha, let’s go, let’s eat."

After confirming that Lin Xiaoyan was fine several times, Lu Lan started walking again with Lin Xiaoyan into the canteen.

This time her pace slowed, so Lin Xiaoyan could keep up.

Upon entering the canteen, the noisy sound immediately greeted their ears.

Lin Xiaoyan felt a tightness in her chest, and her scalp tingled; she hadn’t seen such a bustling scene since she graduated.

The vast hall was full of military green...

Lin Xiaoyan bowed her head, following behind Lu Lan.

Although she was braver now, in this situation, she couldn’t muster her courage.

There must be around a thousand people here...

Lu Lan’s gaze searched around, suddenly her eyes lit up.

Lu Lan pulled Lin Xiaoyan, quickly walking in one direction.

"Boss... uh, Captain He." Lu Lan initially wanted to say "Boss," but stopped when she saw Shi Nan beside her.

She turned around, pressing Lin Xiaoyan into a seat, "Sit here and wait; I’ll get the food."

Lin Xiaoyan looked up, "I’ll go with you..."

"No need, I’ll be right back." Lu Lan quickly left.

Lin Xiaoyan felt her scalp tingle, sensing the gazes around her.

"How did you sleep last night?"

Lin Xiaoyan turned her head and saw He Qi’an.

She felt a gentle relief and smiled, "Pretty good."

He Qi’an glanced at Lin Xiaoyan’s complexion, "Mm."

Shi Nan curiously looked at Lin Xiaoyan beside him, "How do you know this guy?"

Lin Xiaoyan turned her head towards Shi Nan beside her, "Met in the police station."

Shi Nan: .....

Lu Lan soon brought the food, and Lin Xiaoyan looked at the fully loaded dishes, feeling embarrassed, "Sister Lan, I... can’t finish it."

Lu Lan held her chopsticks ready to devour the food; she was practically starving now.

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s words, she looked at Lin Xiaoyan in surprise, then at the equally full dishes in front of her.

"Pfft... Lu Lan, not everyone has as big an appetite as you!"

"Yeah, you could eat a whole cow; others couldn’t stomach it, hahaha..."

The other members of the Wild Wolf Team were always paying attention to the situation here. Seeing Lin Xiaoyan’s embarrassed look at the food, they instantly understood.

Lu Lan scratched her head awkwardly, "I forgot, it’s fine, if you can’t finish, I’m here; I’ll eat!"

"Eat as much as you can, and leave the rest to me."

Hearing Lu Lan’s words, Lin Xiaoyan nodded, picked up her chopsticks, and carefully moved the food she couldn’t eat.

While eating, she tried not to touch those, so Lu Lan wouldn’t have her saliva when she ate later.

Noticing Lin Xiaoyan’s movements, He Qi’an’s eyes flickered with amusement.

She’s unnecessarily doing this; in the military, no one really minds eating after someone else’s saliva.

Normally everyone’s training tasks are heavy, and their appetites are large; at mealtime, even when fully stuffed, they digest quickly.

At those times, whoever has food could almost pull it from someone else’s mouth.

After Lin Xiaoyan was done eating, Lu Lan quickly finished her own meal as well. Only after confirming Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t eat anymore did she take Lin Xiaoyan’s plate, eating without hesitation.

Shi Nan looked at Lu Lan’s eating manner, full of disdain.

"Look, look, not an ounce of femininity."

Lu Lan ate while glaring at Shi Nan, "You sure are masculine; why don’t you walk with three legs!"

"You!"

"Hahaha..."

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t understand; she looked at the proud Lu Lan, then at the embarrassed and furious Shi Nan, with a hint of confusion on her face.

He Qi’an stood up, calling Lin Xiaoyan to follow him.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyan leaving, Lu Lan stopped eating and stood up to follow.

"You keep eating. I’m taking her to the conference room first; come over when you’re done."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lan sat back down and continued eating.

Shi Nan rested his foot on a stool, watching the two leave.

Then he turned his head to look at Lu Lan.

The others quickly gathered around as well.

Lu Lan ate her meal, ignoring them.

"Hey, did you find out? What relationship does that girl have with the boss?"

"Is the boss in a relationship?"

"I feel like it! I just saw the boss looking at that girl several times!"

"I saw it too; there was something off about his gaze!"
