After a grueling day of training, they returned to the dormitory. Wang Tie, true to his word, honored the bet!
He fetched water for Jiangnan to wash his feet, made his bed…
Bustling about!
Jiangnan chuckled, starting to like this guy!
Straightforward, ready to fight when challenged.
Jiangnan genuinely admired these people who silently protected China, always charging into the storm first!
Twenty years since the spiritual energy revival!
China’s stability and peace were thanks to their quiet sacrifices.
Carrying the burden for the people.
And now, was he one of them?
Even now, Jiangnan didn’t quite feel it!
At 10 p.m., the lights-out signal sounded, and the dorm erupted into a storm of noises!
Teeth grinding, farting, snoring, and even sleep-talking!
The scariest part? The sleep-talkers were somehow chatting with each other!
In the middle of the night, Jiangnan lay wide-eyed!
His mind was breaking!
Cute?
Cute, my foot!
[Resentment points from Luo Tianhong +111!]
[Resentment points from Luo Tianhong +111!]
…
What?
Still piling up?
She’d been at it all afternoon!
It was just a kiss!
Was it worth getting so mad?
[Resentment points from Luo Tianhong +1000!]
…
Jiangnan: ???
Lying in bed, he shuddered!
She… she wouldn’t actually kill him to silence him, right?
Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, Jiangnan couldn’t hold back.
With a teleport, he vanished!
Meanwhile, outside Lynx’s office!
Jiangnan gently pushed the door ajar, seeing her napping at her desk.
Relieved, he teleported inside.
Under the moonlight, Lynx slept deeply at her desk.
Her face, usually cold, now held a touch of softness.
[Resentment points from Luo Tianhong +111!]
…
Jiangnan: ???
Even dreaming, she wouldn’t let him off?
What was she dreaming about?
Her desk was cluttered with files, all marked carefully in red pen.
Suddenly, Jiangnan felt a pang of sympathy for her!
This tough woman, what was her heart really like…
Jiangnan reached into his pocket.
He pulled out a Beauty Pill and placed it in her hand.
Then he grabbed a pen and scribbled furiously on a piece of paper.
Chuckling softly.
He gently draped her military jacket over her.
With a teleport, he was gone.
Three minutes later, Luo Tianhong slowly opened her eyes.
She stared at the White Rabbit candy in her hand, lost in thought for a long time.
Then she saw Jiangnan’s note!
“Sorry! Have some candy!”
“Don’t be mad anymore!”
“Get some rest, don’t sleep in the office!”
“Smile more! You look great when you smile!”
(๑gt;
Lynx smiled.
Her smile was truly beautiful, her dimples enchanting.
Eating Jiangnan’s White Rabbit candy.
So sweet! So sweet!
…
Back in bed, Jiangnan really couldn’t sleep!
It was too lively!
In his torment, Jiangnan got an idea, hiding under his blanket.
He pulled out a bag of Heart-Pounding Pop Rocks!
Saved from earlier.
Nothing to do, might as well indulge!
Absorbing spiritual energy was important!
Even in the Night Army camp, he couldn’t slack!
Tearing open the cartoon packaging, he poured it into his mouth!
Mmm! Sweet!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Explosive pops erupted in Jiangnan’s mouth!
His body twitched, legs kicking, trembling nonstop!
Convulsing uncontrollably!
Painful yet joyful!
These Heart-Pounding Pop Rocks were great, just too intense!
As Jiangnan trembled.
The dorm’s metal bunk bed started creaking!
“Creak~ Creak~ Creak~”
So rhythmic.
It woke Chen Chen in the lower bunk, hearing the vibrations from above.
And that rhythmic “creak.”
Such rhythm!
Chen Chen instantly got it.
He flashed a sly grin (manually goofy).
Nan God was at it!
Doing something in his blanket at midnight?
No wonder his aim was so good!
Tch, tch, tch!
So he kicked the bed frame.
“Nan God! That’s enough!”
“You’re still young! Take care of yourself!”
“Even great ships can be reduced to ashes!”
Jiangnan: ???
What the hell, take care of myself?
It’s just the Pop Rocks in my mouth being too intense!
I can’t help twitching in pain!
Did you misunderstand something?
He poked his head out, glaring at Chen Chen.
Then ducked back under!
Jiangnan wanted to explain, but he couldn’t open his mouth!
One word, and it’d sound like a Gatling gun!
The whole dorm would think it was an enemy attack!
Chen Chen saw Jiangnan?
Damn?
Sweating buckets? How intense was this!
But then, the Heart-Pounding Pop Rocks went wild!
Jiangnan felt like he was being popped to death!
Shaking nonstop!
And the bed…
“Creak, creak, creak…
Chen Chen: !!!
Damn!
No way!
Too intense!
Keep this up, the bed’s gonna collapse!
So Chen Chen yanked off Jiangnan’s blanket!
“Nan God! That’s enough, you’re…”
He froze mid-sentence!
Both stared in horror!
Chen Chen’s face turned cold, demanding, “What are you doing?”
Jiangnan panicked!
If these guys found out he was sneaking Pop Rocks under his blanket!
Could he live it down?
His grand Nan God image would collapse!
He hurriedly hid the cartoon packaging under his pillow!
“Old Chen… you, don’t tell anyone!”
Chen Chen snapped, “Not tell?”
“Do you know what you’re doing?”
“This is a military base!”
“You’re breaking the law!”
Jiangnan: ???
What the hell?
Who said you can’t eat Pop Rocks on a military base?
Since when is eating Pop Rocks illegal?
Jiangnan rolled his eyes. “Don’t blab! I’ll share some with you, alright?”
Chen Chen: !!!
“Dragging me into this?”
“I’m telling you, Jiangnan! Don’t ever touch this stuff again!”
“You’re young, I’m looking out for you!”
“If you’re not addicted yet, quit now!”
“If you’re hooked, turn yourself in, get treatment!”
Jiangnan’s expression was vivid. “Are you messing with me?”
“This stuff’s addictive? Illegal?”
“Go to hell!”
Chen Chen, stunned: “You’re not…”
Before he finished, Jiangnan exploded!
“It’s freaking Pop Rocks!”
He yanked the Pop Rocks from under his pillow.
Chen Chen snapped, “Trying to fool me with cartoon packaging? That’s an excuse!”
Jiangnan: !!!
“Fool you, my ass!”
“Open your mouth!”
Chen Chen instinctively opened his mouth, and Jiangnan dumped the rest of the Pop Rocks in!
Chen Chen’s eyes lit up. “This sweet?”
Then…
“Bang!”
