Chapter 4: A Curiosity Worth Dying For

  At this time, there were only two people left beside Wang Fanglong, Zhao Ye and Jiang Xiaochun. The other reserve players had gone back to the dormitory in twos and threes to change into their military uniforms.

  Now, Wang Fanglong feels extremely exhausted physically and mentally, and he wants to go back to the dormitory to rest in order to cope with the training that may be conducted at any time. He doesn't have the mood to linger here anymore.

  He directly said to Jiang Xiaochun: "Sorry, Comrade Jiang Xiaochun, I'll go back to my dormitory to rest first. We can discuss any issues later."

  After finishing speaking, Wang Fanglong turned around and walked towards the dormitory.

  Jiang Xiaochun saw Wang Fanglong was about to leave, and immediately followed up, smiling and saying: "Comrade Wang Fanglong, I only ask one question, it won't delay you for long."

  "What's wrong? You tell me." Wang Fanglong stopped in his tracks.

  "I just want to ask you, why are you late? For our special forces, this shouldn't happen. I really can't figure it out, that's why I'm asking you. As long as you tell me the reason for being late, I'll leave immediately." Jiang Xiaochun stared tightly at Wang Fanglong, with a face full of expectation, waiting quietly for an answer.

  Wang Fanglong's expression turned gloomy as soon as he heard it, and the brutal case of annihilating the village appeared before him again, his heart inexplicably aching.

  At this time, he also couldn't control his emotions and impatiently said to Jiang Xiaochun: "Sorry, there's no reason, please leave!"

  After finishing speaking, Wang Fanglong's face turned gloomy and he left on his own.

  However, towards Wang Fanglong's impatient expression, Jiang Xiaochun seemed to not notice it at all and still stuck to him like a leech, following closely behind him with a flattering smile, saying: "Ahh! Just satisfy my poor curiosity, please, dear Comrade Wang Fanglong! If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

  At this time, Wang Fanglong was getting a bit impatient. Zhao Ye immediately came out to mediate. He grabbed Jiang Xiaochun's arm with one hand and tried to pull him away, saying: "You're a grown man, why are you gossiping like that? If others didn't know better, they'd think you were a woman!"

  As soon as Zhao Ye said he was like a woman, Jiang Xiaochun immediately became furious, his entire face twisted in anger.

  He shook off Zhao Ye's hand, his eyes wide like bronze bells, staring tightly at Zhao Ye, and said in a menacing tone: "What? Woman? You actually say I'm a woman? I hate it when people say that about me! Those who said that to me before were all knocked down by me! It's not okay for you to insult me like this! Bring the horse over, I'll let you know the price of insulting me!"

  After finishing, Jiang Xiaochun struck a pose, beckoning Zhao Ye with his finger and continued in an arrogant tone: "Come here, kid. I'll let you know that some words can't be spoken carelessly. If you say them, you have to pay the price."

  At this time, some reserve team members had not walked far, and when they saw the situation, they turned around and came back. The good things among them immediately started shouting: "Fight, fight quickly! We'll cheer for you!"

  Wang Fanglong saw that Zhao Ye was suffering from an unjust disaster because of helping himself, and he became very angry. He stood up between Jiang Xiaochun and Zhao Ye, facing Jiang Xiaochun, with a solemn expression: "Jiang Xiaochun, if you want to fight, I'll accompany you! Don't involve innocent people."

  Jiang Xiaochun was taken aback and said in a puzzled tone, "What does this have to do with you? You're not the one who said I'm a woman. You're the innocent one. Hurry up and get out of the way, I must teach this ignorant little brat a lesson."

  "Great big guy! That's right! You've got to teach him a good lesson!" Someone on the side, fearing that the world would not be chaotic enough, continued to egg them on.

  At this time, Zhao Ye's heart was also filled with rage. He pushed Wang Fanglong away while saying angrily: "Big blockhead, don't think I'm afraid of you! Who teaches who is not certain yet!"

  At this time, Wang Fanglong's legs were weak and powerless. Therefore, Zhao Ye easily pushed him away, and a big fight was inevitable.

  One's own family knows one's own affairs. Wang Fanglong knew that with his current state, he definitely couldn't help Zhao Ye with anything, so he thought to himself that this time it was best to just forget about it and go back to rest for now.

  Wait until I've caught my breath, if Zhao Ye is really bullied, then help him regain his composure later.

  With that, Wang Fanglong felt as if he had put down a huge boulder in his heart and calmly said to Wang Fanglong and Zhao Ye: "You want to fight? Go ahead, I'm not going to join you. I'll head back to the dorm first. See you later!"

  Having said that, Wang Fanglong turned around and left.

  But little did they know, things were about to take a turn for the better at this very moment.

  As soon as Wang Fanglong was about to leave, Jiang Xiaochun couldn't care less about fighting and hurriedly caught up with him. His attitude also made a 180-degree turn, smiling at Wang Fanglong: "Hey! Comrade Wang Fanglong, don't be in such a hurry, I won't stop you from leaving. You're just going back to the dormitory, right? It's perfect, I'm heading back too, let's go together."

  At this time, Wang Fanglong was in a fit of anger, and when he heard Jiang Xiaochun say this, he became even more angry and wanted to scold him.

  But thinking of his physical condition, he furrowed his brow, took a deep breath, and swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue, walking silently forward alone.

  Zhao Ye saw that Jiang Xiao Chun was no longer looking for trouble, so he didn't say anything else and just nodded at Wang Fang Long before leaving first.

  At this time, Jiang Xiaochun could also see that Wang Fanglong was obviously very unhappy, but he was born with a strong curiosity. If he didn't get an answer today, he would be unable to eat or sleep.

  So he still followed Wang Fanglong and continued to say: "Wang Fanglong, you see, I let that kid Zhao Ye go, this is all because of your face. Just tell me, why did you come so late when we gathered? For people like us, it's simply impossible for such a situation to occur."

  Wang Fanglong was both angry and heartbroken, the sorrow in his heart was stirred up again, and his face was getting uglier.

  He didn't want anyone to know about this matter.

  Originally, making up a reason would have fooled Jiang Xiaochun, but Wang Fanglong hated lying by nature, so he directly refused: "I don't need to explain to you, please leave!"

  But unfortunately, Jiang Xiaochun's curiosity was too heavy. As long as it was something he wanted to know, he would always ask until the bottom of the pot was broken. People familiar with him knew that in order to satisfy his curiosity, he could be said to have used every means possible.

  So, despite being rejected again and again, he still asked persistently: "Big Brother Wang, isn't it enough that I call you brother? Please, please tell me, or else I'll suffocate to death."

  Repeatedly questioned by Jiang Xiaochun, Wang Fanglong was very angry, and with the painful memories brought back, he was sad and angry at the same time, his emotions on the verge of losing control.

  But at the same time, Wang Fanglong is a man of principle, unless absolutely necessary, his fists will never be directed at his comrades.

  He tried his best to control his emotions and said coldly to Jiang Xiaochun, "You're not my instructor, I don't need to explain anything to you. So, I won't satisfy your curiosity, please leave me alone. I'm tired now and just want to go back and rest."

  As soon as Wang Fanglong said he was too tired and wanted to rest, Jiang Xiaochun's eyes lit up with a plan. He patted his chest and said: "Want to rest? Great, I'll accompany you back, and then I'll help you massage. You don't know, my massage skills are excellent, guaranteed to restore your energy immediately. However, you have to tell me the reason for being late."

  Wang Fanglong was completely speechless, thinking to himself how he had run into such a person?

  But the real reason for his tardiness was something that he could never tell anyone, not even when questioned by his instructor, and with his temperament, he wouldn't say.

  Because this is his secret, a secret that belongs only to him alone.

  Thus, Jiang Xiaochun entangled Wang Fanglong all the way and followed him into his dormitory.

  But no matter how he asked, he still couldn't get Wang Fanglong to reveal the reason for his tardiness.

  Wang Fanglong entered the dormitory and found that he was the last one, the other nine people had already changed into mountain camouflage uniforms and were sitting on stools resting.

  At this time, Jiang Xiaochun also followed and walked in.

  As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Xiaochun suddenly became excited and shouted loudly: "Great! Great! My dormitory is just next to yours. I'll go back and change my clothes first, and then come over to help you with massage. You must remember to tell me why you're late!"

  After finishing speaking, Jiang Xiaochun ran out quickly.

  Leaving behind a house full of stunned faces.
