Chapter 22 Baozi

  Zhao brought over a package of steamed buns, full of fragrance, which made Qiu Lin, who had been eating wild vegetables for her whole life, drool with desire. However, when she put the bun to her mouth, she didn't take a bite, but instead looked sideways at Jiang Yurou.

  "Here, eat." As she spoke, Qiu Lin placed the bun in front of Jiang Yurou.

  Looking down at the bun handed over by Qiu Lin, Jiang Yuru was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Where did it come from?"

  Qiu Lin was about to say it was Zhao Neng, but when she turned around, she saw that Zhao Neng had already disappeared. It's not good to talk more about the origin, so Qiu Lin could only say: "Anyway, it wasn't stolen, you must not have eaten enough earlier, so take advantage of now and add some food." As she spoke, Qiu Lin smiled.

  Seeing Jiang Yurou hesitating, Qiu Lin couldn't wait any longer, so she simply raised her hand to grab Jiang Yurou's hand and stuffed the bun into it.

  Looking at the bun in her hand, Jiang Yuru also fell into deep thought.

  To be honest, a meal of wild vegetables and thin gruel can't possibly fill one up. Faced with such tempting buns, Jiang Yurou couldn't help but swallow her saliva greedily.

  However, she didn't eat it either. Instead, she turned her head to look at Sun Qifan. But she didn't hand the bun over to Sun Qifan; instead, she gave him a cold glance and handed the bun past him, placing it in front of Bao Shiping.

  Looking at the bun that suddenly appeared in front of him, Bao Shiping didn't think much and pushed it back to Sun Qifan. He had no idea that the bun was given by Jiang Yurou, thinking it was given by Sun Qifan, so he said to Sun Qifan: "I'm not hungry, you eat it."

  Sun Qifan smiled and said with a hint of teasing, "I wouldn't dare take credit for someone else's work. This bun was given to you by our team leader, so hurry up and eat it."

  "Oh..." Bao Shi Ping also heard the tone of the words, he naturally knew that Sun Qi Fan had kissed Jiang Yu Rong, so he didn't dare say anything else and quietly put away the baozi.

  But Bao Shiping didn't eat either, because he really wasn't hungry. As a child from the countryside, wild vegetables were just ordinary food to him, and not like the children who grew up in the city, who found it hard to swallow them.

  He handed the bun to Lu Tao beside him, smiled stupidly and said: "Lu Tao, you must be starving. I see that you almost vomit when eating."

  "I won't eat!" Lu Tao didn't return Bao Shiping's kindness with respect, instead he pulled a long face and gave Bao Shiping a sideways glance.

  Bao Shiping didn't know how he had offended Lu Tao again, so he could only awkwardly smile and lower his head. Sun Qifan listened to Lu Tao's response and couldn't help but give him a cold glance, her hands also clenched into fists on her thighs with a cracking sound.

  If it were just himself, Bao Shiping and Lu Tao, Sun Qifan believed he would have beaten up Lu Tao without hesitation, simply because of Lu Tao's ignorance. But now, Sun Qifan chose to remain silent, took a deep breath, turned his head back and said coldly: "Give it to the others, he is the deputy captain, if he eats it, he will lose his dignity."

  Listening to Sun Qifan's words, Lu Tao's eyes were also filled with anger. But Sun Qifan's words were not wrong, and he didn't dare to vent his anger, only daring to take a deep breath and follow Sun Qifan's words: "Right, I'm the deputy captain, so I have no reason to eat it, give it to others."

  Bao Shi Ping pushed his glasses frame and didn't say another word. He was afraid that if he said more, he would make mistakes, so he turned around and handed the bun back to Lü Kun behind him.

  Lü Kun took the bun and, unlike Qiu Lin and the others who were pushing and shoving, he was still hungry. The moment he got the bun, Lü Kun didn't hesitate to stuff one directly into his mouth and started eating voraciously.

  However, he only ate one and gave the remaining buns back to the student who was standing behind him earlier. Although that student was close to Lü Kun, he did not put the bun into his stomach like Lü Kun did without hesitation, but instead passed it on to other students.

  Other students didn't eat either, and a bun was given back to me like this, I returned it to you, and it went back into Qiu Lin's hands.

  Looking at the bun in her hand, Qiu Lin smiled bitterly. She didn't know if this meant that they had already changed, or if only most people had changed.

  "You'd better eat it up, otherwise if Sun Fu catches you later on, who knows what will happen."

  Jiang Yuruo's words scared Qiu Lin so much that she hastily stuffed the bun into her mouth.

  But this was the first time in her life that she felt it was so hard to swallow a bun, even harder than the wild vegetables earlier. She turned back to look at the other quiet students watching "The Rise of Great Nations", and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes.

  Jiang Yuru looked at Qiu Lin, whose eyes were shining with tears, and smiled as she reached out to wipe away the tears hanging from Qiu Lin's eyelashes. She didn't know why she was doing this, but at least in her opinion, as a team leader or the only other girl in the team besides Qiu Lin, she should be taking care of Qiu Lin.

  "It's really delicious." While suppressing the urge to cry in her heart, Qiu Lin forced a smile. But only she knew the unhappiness in her heart.

  Sun Qifan listened to Qiu Lin's words and couldn't help but turn his head towards the door of the rest room. He didn't know if Sun Fan was outside the door, but he thought that these two packages might have been sent by Sun Fan, with the intention of seeing everyone's reaction after taking the packages.

  Actually, the clever Sun Qifan had guessed it. Outside the closed door of the rest room, Sun Fan was watching through the monitor in the rest room, staring at each student's reaction after taking the bun. When he saw Qiu Lin eating the bun with tears, he couldn't help but sigh and then smiled again.

  Sun Fu smiled when he saw him, and Zhao Neng couldn't help but ask Sun Fu: "Officer Sun, what are you smiling at?"

  "These young people who have just started their careers are slowly changing, shouldn't I be pleased?" Sun Fan couldn't help but ask Zhao Neng.

  Zhao was deep in thought for a while before he understood what Sun Fu had done that afternoon and couldn't help but laugh too.

  After laughing, Zhao Neng thought for a moment and still told Sun Feng his intention. "Officer Sun, I want to transfer Qiu Lin away and transfer her to our helicopter squadron."

  Looking at Zhao Nai's sincere appearance, Sun Fu was stunned for a moment and remained silent for a while before asking: "Why?"

  "She's a good seedling, and she has mastered the most basic flying skills that a helicopter pilot should have. With just a bit more practice, she'll definitely become an excellent helicopter pilot, and maybe even surpass me!"

  Listening to Zhao Neng's high praise of Qiu Lin, Sun Fan couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is the first time I've heard Comrade Zhao Neng praise someone so highly. It seems that not putting you in charge... was a bit unfair to your praise?"

  "That's it!"

  Sun Fuang seemed to have intentionally catered to his own wishes, and Zhao Neng couldn't help but appear very pleased.

  However, Sun Buran thought for a moment and changed his mind, saying: "No way, since you said she has the driving skills required of a helicopter pilot, I can't give her to you."

  Sun Bao changed his mind faster than flipping a book, and Zhao Nai also became unhappy in an instant. With a displeased face, he asked Sun Bao: "Why?"

  "Look, whether it's a helicopter or a fighter jet, the pilot needs to have good spatial awareness. Now Qiu Lin is already ahead of others in this regard, and if she's willing to learn, she might become the first student to be allowed to fly solo." Sun Fan couldn't help but smile as he looked at the future of Flying Shark training program, "So I won't let her go to your place!"

  Zhao listened to this and knew that Sun would definitely not let Qiu Lin go, so he couldn't help but slap his own mouth and muttered: "Look at your own rotten mouth!"

  Sun Fan looked at Zhao Nai's displeased face and couldn't help but laugh, then reached out to grab Zhao Nai's shoulder and asked: "I heard your uncle say that you have a crush on Qiu Lin?"

  "My uncle? How is that possible, I'm more than half a generation older than this little girl, I'm not some old cow eating young grass." While denying it, Zhao Neng turned around and walked away, he didn't want his little thoughts to be discovered by Sun Fan, this old fox. Moreover, he also had to go to the hangar to take a look at his beloved helicopter, Sun Fan had arranged a task for him in the afternoon, he needed to get ready.

  Even if Zhao Nai strongly denied it, Sun Fan still didn't believe his words from the bottom of her heart.

  A person's feelings aren't just about what they say, but the truest feeling is in their heart. However, no matter how these students' emotions will develop in the future, Sun believes that among the 23 students present, there are already a few who are far superior to others, and as long as the flaws on these few people are eliminated, they will become one of the last ones standing.

  "What are you thinking about? You're so absorbed." Zhuo Yi's words pulled Sun Fan back from his reverie.

  Looking back at Zhuo Yi, Sun Fan couldn't help but think of the more than ten years he and Zhuo Yi had spent bickering and fighting. It seemed that as long as the other person was around, they would never have a moment's peace, yet now if one of them were to disappear, the other would feel empty inside.

  Sun Fan smiled and pointed at Qiu Lin on the surveillance screen, saying to Zhuo Yi: "Your two apprentices are quite good." Responding to Sun Fan's words, Zhuo Yi also smiled and raised his thumb, saying: "That's right! You don't see who noticed them!" The relief of the two people was a heartfelt expression that flowed outwards.

  Just as Sun Fan and Zhuo Yi were relieved that the plan was going smoothly, someone knocked on Alice's door in a small hotel in Zhanjiang.

  "The target has already been chosen." said a man wearing sunglasses as he walked into the room to Alice.

  "Who?" Alice asked the man behind her, but didn't turn around, only gazing through binoculars at the distant naval port.

  Lü Kun

  "Is there any relevant information?"

  "Yes." In response to Alice's words, the man also put the file bag in his hand on the coffee table.

  Upon hearing this, Alice also put down the binoculars in her hand and turned to look at the file bag on the coffee table, a chilling cold smile spreading from the corner of her mouth.
