Chapter 68: Rampage, crazy growth
"Don't you need it?" Xiangying raised her pretty eyebrows and walked towards him stepping on the water stains.
Her slightly narrowed phoenix eyes were filled with dark light.
"How much do you understand me? Just because I am afraid of water, I feel that I am not Xiangying, but who can I be?"
Her words made Xie Chen fall into silence.
Xiangying's plain white hands held up the skirt of her clothes, and her figure followed the ups and downs of the ship, swaying lightly from side to side.
"I used to be afraid because I didn't fall into the situation I am in now. The destruction of my country and my family was just around the corner. My survival instinct was enough for me to make changes."
"Do you think that everything I do is just to show off my strength? I am fighting for the opportunity, and I am fighting for a breath."
Jie Chen suddenly raised his thin eyes. The light in the cabin was intertwined with light and dark, and his eyes were also unclear.
"I know what you want to do, use this method to win the admiration of the soldiers."
People naturally respect the strong and subconsciously want to follow them.
Xiangying is very good at controlling people's hearts.
Jie Chen's voice was dull: "You repair the ship and work hard for it. Don't you know that this is completely useless? The people in South Vietnam will not let you go."
Xiangying knew exactly what he would encounter during this trip to South Vietnam.
"Of course I know, and I guess you won't appreciate it, but with so many soldiers, there will always be people who respect me. And doesn't winning people's hearts start to accumulate bit by bit? I don't do it for anything else, just to be absolutely If you don’t want to sit still, try as hard as you can.”
"I'm not afraid of taking risks or getting hurt. I'm just afraid of not winning."
As she spoke, she put her hand on his shoulder and picked the water plants for him.
This time Xie Chen did not avoid her touch.
And Xiangying looked at his face with gleaming eyes: "Xie Chen, should people always be afraid of something in this life? Have you ever encountered a huge change? Have you ever felt like you have come back from the dead?"
Jie Chen's muscles tensed up and his face was startled.
Unknown emotions flashed across his eyes very quickly, and he gently opened Xiangying's wrist.
"You don't have to say anything anymore, I believe you." He said in a deep hoarse voice.
Xiangying gently hooked his fingertips: "Moreover, I treat you like a grasshopper on a boat. If something happens to the boat, you will also be blamed."
"We will repair the ship ourselves. When the deputy general asks, it will be easy for you to answer, right?"
Complex emotions flashed through Xie Chen's thin eyes.
She actually thinks about him?
The boat made a creaking sound as it was rocked by the current.
Jie Chen looked at her and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, the robe draped on Xiangying's shoulders suddenly slipped off.
The fair body just burst into his eyes.
Jie Chen's breath suffocated, and he hurriedly bent down, picked up the clothes in a panic, and wrapped her tightly.
Xiangying laughed: "Why are you in such a hurry? What are you afraid of? We have seen it all."
This sentence made Xie Chen's ears turn red, and his cold face became even more sulky.
"You won't die if you stop saying such things."
"Why can't you say, will you be nervous or shy?"
"You——!"
Just at this time, the captain knocked on the door: "Jie Jiejun, clean clothes have been brought."
Jie Chen stepped forward and opened the door only a small crack.
The captain still wanted to care about Xiang Ying's situation, but as soon as he glanced past Jie Chen, Jie Chen frowned and scolded him: "What are you looking at?"
The team captain hurriedly lowered his head: "I dare not do this because of my humble position."
With a bang, the door was closed again.
The captain wiped the rain from his face, feeling aggrieved in his heart.
Why are the Jie Jiejun so fierce? He didn't see anything either.
In the cabin, Xie Chen handed the clothes to Xiang Ying.
"You put it on first. When the rain stops tomorrow morning, we will take the boat back to the front. If you are tired, take a rest here first."
Xiangying nodded, turned her back and took off her robe.
Jie Chen immediately turned around and left.
But the sudden glance just now made him see what seemed to be a group of purple bruises on Xiangying's back.
As soon as Xie Chen left, Xiangying got into the space.
She just took a dip in the river and she was very cold!
And my lower back hurts terribly. She quickly opened the medicine cabinet, took out the medicine spray for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and sprayed it on her waist with her backhand.
Unfortunately, it was always inconvenient to carry his hands behind his back. Looking through the brass mirror, he saw that the bruise was serious, so Xiangying applied several more plasters to herself.
She dried her hair with a comfortable cloth and served herself a bowl of hot shrimp noodles with bone broth.
Also grilled two skewers of lamb skewers and chili.
After slurping down the food, my stomach felt warm and my body felt comfortable.
Xiangying left the space, fell down on the low couch in the side room, wrapped herself in a quilt and fell asleep tiredly.
He slept until early the next morning.
When she woke up again, the sky was clear and clear outside.
The rain that fell all night washed the river surface with sparkling water, and the trees on the distant shore were green.
Xiangying rubbed her forehead and sat up, when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Are you awake?" It was Jie Chen's voice.
Xiangying hummed, and when she saw Jin Chen coming in with a bowl of minced meat porridge, she blinked in confusion.
"You were outside the door the whole time?"
"No, I just came over." Xie Chen explained expressionlessly and handed the hot porridge to her hand.
Xiangying took two bites and then put it down because it didn't taste salty and didn't taste good!
Although she knew that being able to put meat in the porridge was already a great delicacy in the eyes of Xie Chen and the soldiers.
But it didn't taste good, and she couldn't tolerate it.
Steam some crab roe buns and pair them with a dish of ginger vinegar, how fragrant it is.
Seeing that she didn't eat, Xie Chen frowned slightly: "Aren't you hungry?"
Xiangying nodded: "It's okay. Have you eaten?"
Jie Chen responded with a hum and took out a bottle of ointment from his sleeve.
"This medicine is for bruises."
Xiangying was stunned, and it turned out that Jie Chen had also seen it.
She took it and he was about to leave when Xiangying called out to him.
"Give me some medicine. It's on my back and I can't see it."
Jie Chen's steps froze, and before he could refuse, Xiang Ying had already put the ointment on his hand.
She took off her robe calmly and lay down on the couch.
Just now she had quietly taken off the plaster and stuffed it back into the space.
Xiangying pushed her black hair to one side and glanced sideways to see that Jin Chen was still standing there stupidly, not moving.
"Hurry up," she urged, "don't think about finding other female prisoners, I only recognize you."
These words made Jie Chen tense up.
He frowned and walked over with heavy steps: "I understand, just lie down."
Only then did Xiangying look away.
A ball of cold ointment immediately fell on her waist, and Xiangying hissed from the ice.
He stopped immediately: "It hurts?"
"A little." After she finished speaking, Jie Chen's movements became lighter.
His fingertips were thinly calloused and felt quite comfortable when rubbed gently.
Xiangying closed her eyes in enjoyment.
But what Xie Chen saw was an extremely slim waist and porcelain-like skin.
His throat rolled up and down, and his eyes couldn't help but darken slightly.
The bruise was located on the lower back near the buttocks, and the color was shockingly purple.
The collision must have been very serious. The severe pain would cause a person to lose the ability to move instantly, let alone being in the water.
But despite this, Xiangying was still able to come out of the water.
Until this moment, Xie Chen felt that Xiang Ying was right.
He didn't know her very well.
At least, he had no idea she had such tenacity.
The more danger she encounters, the more she grows like a weed, running rampant and crazy.
