Chapter 26: A Stroll Under the Moonlight (1)

  Tian Miao Miao, with a bad temper, stared at Zhang Tong's back of the head and said: "You're a sacred sentinel, how can you be distracted during class? Believe it or not, I'll report you and get you confined!"

  "You... Ah, girl, do you like him or not? If you like him, hurry up and make a move, otherwise it'll be too late!" Tian Miao Miao had an anxious expression.

  This time Zhang Tong turned his head back, curiously staring at Tian Miao Miao for a while before asking:

  "Is it your dormitory or our dormitory?"

  "Aren't you clear-headed? Why did you act foolishly when the landmine asked you for money and let them take advantage of you!" Tian Miao Miao jumped up in anger.

  "How did you bring up treating me to dinner again?"

  Tian Miao described the scene of eating dinner tonight to Zhang Tong in a vivid and colorful way, and finally concluded by saying:

  "What's so good about this place? How did you get into the training team and become a sweet pastry? That Gong Qian, I heard she didn't date anyone for four years in college. This woman is like a frog, with eyes on top of her head, looking down at ordinary people with disdain, and flirting shamelessly with God."

  After graduation, looking at the couples around her who were happy and in love, her outlook on life, worldview, and values were ruined like China's tofu dregs construction - not only was it shattered all over the place, but there wasn't even anyone to take responsibility for it. At this time, she finally understood that being the champion of life isn't important, and being a champion is not as good as being a "guan xi" (a play on words, with "guan xi" sounding like "champion" but actually meaning "officially married").

  Zhang Tong let Tian Miao laugh so hard that she was bent over the table, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably, and she didn't dare to make a sound. After finally calming down, Zhang Tong said to Tian Miao:

  "Aren't you and Gong Qian on bad terms? And if not for this last part, I would have thought you had a crush on Di Lei. What a pity! You say Di Lei is great, why don't you like him?"

  "Shoo, brother-in-law, don't be ridiculous, besides I don't have any feelings for him."

  "That settles it, I'm the same too... What's with that look in your eyes? I'm certain, absolutely and definitely!"

  The lights are about to go out, and Tian Miao hasn't gotten any answers from Zhang Tong. Helplessly, she picks up the washbasin, preparing to leave when Zhang Tong holds her back, pointing at the lunchbox on the table:

  "I don't deserve it, throw it away for me."

  Two girls exchanged a smile, Tian Miao Miao carried things upstairs without mentioning it...

  The next day, during daytime classes, everyone was still feeling the effects of yesterday's drinking, and one by one they all looked listless. Old Hei knew what was going on but didn't say anything, just letting them muddle through the day.

  Today is Wednesday, the day when the cafeteria improves its food, but yesterday they just had a big meal, and Gao Xiang and his gang didn't have much of an appetite. The delicious braised pork wasn't even eaten eagerly, instead, other boys took advantage of it and got a lot of benefits.

  After dinner, it's time to watch the news broadcast together; today's news broadcast reported that Xi (17K) attended a symposium on literary and artistic work and delivered a lengthy speech of about 2 hours. At the meeting, Xi (17K) not only expressed his views and comments on the current situation of literature and art but also deeply recalled his own literary life during his youth and educated youth period, talking about the impact of literature and art on his growth.

  "Historically, the reason why the Chinese nation has a position and influence is not because of its military strength or external expansion, but because Chinese culture has strong appeal." After President Xi (17K) finished speaking, Lao Hei called out Gao Xiang's name:

  "Gao Xiang, you tell me, what's the weight of this sentence."

  Gao Xiang: @@...

  Jian Gao was speechless at that moment, Zhang Tong raised an eyebrow, hesitating whether to take the lead, while Gong Qian stood up first:

  "Instructor, I'm afraid some people's level of thinking can't understand the importance of this spirit, so let me answer this question! After reading news reports, I personally think that Xi (17K) attaches great importance to the literary and artistic circles and their work because in his mind, literature and art are not just romantic things, but an important force for realizing the Chinese dream. A nation must endure hardships and create glory, and the cultural support is indispensable! Hmm, Xi (17K) also said that we should no longer build strange buildings. In the future, there will be no more weird buildings like the Big Pants Building."

  Lao Hei nodded in agreement with Gong Qian's speech, and a round of applause followed. Jia Junpeng cheered: "As expected of our class leader, this ideological level is indeed high."

  After the news broadcast and weather forecast, it's time for daily communication. As the only way to contact the outside world, the four fixed phones in the teaching building's telephone class are always crowded every night. Like in a military unit, people need to line up and each person can't talk for too long.

  Gao Xiang hadn't called for several weeks, he wanted to save some time because there were many things he wanted to say; He had thought it through, today's phone call would first ask about his dad and mom, especially to chat with his mom for a while, in order to get some living expenses sponsorship.

  Ever since he put on the police uniform, his parents felt a sense of pride. Nowadays, whenever Xiaohuang makes any requests, they agree readily. Then he would call back to Happiness Road to check if Daliwan is doing well. Among those auxiliary police officers, only Daliwan is a sincere person, who wholeheartedly follows him and willingly acts as his junior. It's unknown whether he has been bullied during this period of time.

  Not yet arrived at the machine room, a police sister was standing at the door, which scared Gao Xiang, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, sizing up Gao Xiang maliciously, who else could it be if not Gong Qian!

  Isn't this little girl here to cause trouble? She's been here for a while, and she's even taken a few classes in the special recruitment class. Of course, Gao Xiang's grades are not worth mentioning, after all, he is a regular veteran of the Wild Battle Army. These are all basic skills. But unexpectedly, Gong Qian's grappling level is also good, but this "good" is just like flower fist and embroidery leg. However, this girl has a stubborn streak, always thinking about defeating Gao Xiang.

  Gao Xiang was hesitating whether to go out today or not, and just as he was about to turn around, Gong Qian couldn't wait any longer and scolded him: "Gao Xiang, what's wrong with you? A man who procrastinates until death! It's already been over 10 minutes, why are you only coming down now?! Come out with me, I have something to discuss with you."

  "Looking for me?!" Gao Xiang was startled and then stretched his neck to look towards the places outside where people could hide.

  "What are you looking at!"

  "Look where they're hiding, are you trying to trick me into going out to fight?"

  Gao Xiang hesitantly said, "It can't be that Ye Duo's idea, right? Let the class monitor lure me out and then they'll gang up on me, beating me up to make up for yesterday's meal expenses?"

  Gong Qian disdainfully curled her lip: "Come on, just you? I can take you down by myself, no need to bring others. Hurry up, I have something to say to you."

  Gong Qian finished speaking and hooked her little finger at Gao Xiang, Gao Xiang looked around and seemed to be in no danger, plus Gong Qian had batted her eyelashes when she hooked her finger, so he followed her.

  The two of them walked out the door, along the training base's road, and walked a long distance shoulder to shoulder. Gong Qian didn't say anything either. Gao Xiang couldn't help but ask in a soft voice: "Squad leader, what's going on? I haven't offended you recently, have I? Just last time, I let you kick me."

  Gong Qian covered her mouth and giggled, after finishing, she also gave Gao Xiang a glance, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, full of charm.

  "Come on, can't I just take a walk with you and have a chat?"

  "You're here less often now. You girls all want to kick me a couple of times when you see me, and besides, what would I chat with you about? Are you trying to have some fun at my expense today?"

  "Haha, haven't you heard? Beating is intimacy, scolding is love, loving to the extreme means kicking with feet. All the sisters want to kick you, so just enjoy it secretly."

  Gao Xiang was clear in his mind that the female classmates in the special recruitment class were not people he could afford to mess with. Not to mention that these seven fairy-like girls in the class basically all had a special talent, and who knows, maybe some of them even had impressive backgrounds that would make your head spin. When it came to relationships between men and women, Gao Xiang was quite self-aware. Even if their relationship was great now, once they left the training base, these female trainees might be assigned to the municipal or provincial bureau! They were all starting from a higher point than him, just like Tian Miao Miao and Zhang Tong, who had already returned to Happiness Road, where the starting point was much higher than his own. So during the training period, he shouldn't think about those useless things that might be interesting but ultimately meant nothing.

  Gong Qian saw Gao Xiang fall silent and said softly:

  "Hey, why are you so boring? Look at this great moonlight, strolling under the beautiful Milky Way, with our class monitor accompanying you for a walk, chat, and heart-to-heart talk. You're not even grateful? I've been feeling annoyed these past two days, wanting to find someone to talk to. Among the guys in our class, only you are passable, you're much more handsome than them. Of course, I'd bring you along." Gong Qian intentionally emphasized the word "handsome".

  Seduction, naked seduction! Gao Xiang disdainfully glanced at Gong Qian, and said: "If you want to play ambiguous with me, be careful or I'll take advantage of you!"

  "Ah, I'm honored, I thought I was being low-key, but it seems I still owe a debt of gratitude. Qian, don't be infatuated with me, I'm just a legend..."

  Gong Qian, who was slightly ahead, heard that Gao Xiang could be so shameless and self-loving, and even brought out the old routine that couldn't be more outdated to make a fuss, almost vomiting at dinner, but had no choice, putting on a whole show, forcing herself to smile.

  Gong Qian walked casually, her figure hidden tightly under her training uniform. Gao Xiang followed closely behind, guessing whether she was a B or C cup, "I think it's probably C..."

  "Class monitor, let me tell you a joke?" After walking for a while, Gao Xiang thought that he couldn't just leave like this. Since you rushed to send it over, I won't be polite either.

  Gong Qian said, "Oh no, this guy is probably going to tell another old joke. It seems that Ye was wrong about that female vagabond after all. Looking at him like this, he doesn't seem like a master of romance at all. But not listening isn't an option either, so I can only say: 'Okay, go ahead and tell it, if it's not funny, I'll beat you up!'"

  "There's this guy who risked his life chasing after a pretty girl..."

  "Even goddesses wouldn't say that", in Gōng Qiān's heart, Gāo Xiáng was again looked down upon a few points...

  One day, the man kept sending text messages to the woman, asking if she had eaten breakfast, if it was cold outside and if she should wear more clothes, if she should be careful of pickpockets on the bus, if she had eaten lunch, and so on. The woman couldn't take it anymore and replied indifferently: "What do you want?" Gao Xiang paused mysteriously, waiting for Gong Qian to ask her what the man said next, but unfortunately, Gong Qian didn't have that kind of awareness and just stood beside him, staring at him, making his heart feel creepy.
