Chapter 132: Try your best to live at all times
Nan Qiao squatted on the ground with her somewhat worn backpack beside her.
She was concentrating as she carefully went through the contents of her backpack. She pulled out a few boxes of ammunition and counted them carefully, silently wondering if she had enough for any future situations. She muttered quietly, "Well, I have enough bullets for now, but I have to use them sparingly."
Then, she fished out a few more grenades and carefully checked whether the safety devices on the grenades were intact. A serious look appeared in her eyes as she thought to herself, "Grenades can't be careless. They can play a big role at this critical moment. Fortunately, there are still enough to last for a while."
Then she turned her attention to the compressed biscuits that were slightly deformed and the half-empty water bottle.
She gently shook the kettle, listening to the sloshing sound of the water inside. She frowned slightly and thought, "I need to refill the water. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. If I get separated from the main force, these things will be my life-saving tools."
Just as Nan Qiao was concentrating on packing her backpack, Wang Qi ran over happily.
As soon as he arrived, he stopped and his eyes were fixed on Nan Qiao, unable to move away.
He looked at Nan Qiao's skin, which was as white as mutton-fat jade. It seemed to have a faint luster under the sunlight. Even after half a year of training, it did not look dark.
The delicate facial features look as if they were carefully carved. The curved eyebrows, lively eyes, high nose bridge, and slightly pouting red lips are so beautiful when combined together.
The more Wang Qi looked at her, the more he liked her. He couldn't help but secretly admire her in his heart: "Why is my Qiaoqiao so prettier and more obedient than others? Look at her appearance, the more I look at her, the more I like her."
He just stood there quietly, looking at Nan Qiao with a silly smile, and for a moment he forgot what he had come over to say.
Nan Qiao was concentrating on packing his backpack, putting all the items in place, and focusing on ensuring that the supplies were complete.
Suddenly, she felt a burning gaze falling on her. She raised her head and saw Wang Qi squatting beside her, staring at her stupidly. It seemed as if she was the only one in his eyes, and there was an uncontrollable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Nan Qiao couldn't help but frown slightly, and asked with some confusion and a hint of anger: "Why are you looking at me with a silly smile? Haven't you seen anyone packing a backpack?"
Wang Qi came back to his senses at this point. He thought that the team leader would come to ask Nan Qiao about their affairs soon. As long as Nan Qiao nodded in agreement, she would be his wife in the future.
Thinking of this, Wang Qi felt like there was a little rabbit in his heart, beating fast and he was so excited that he could hardly control himself.
The upward curve of his mouth became bigger and bigger, and finally reached his ears, his face was full of joy that could not be concealed.
He scratched his head and stammered, "No...no, I just think you...you look really good when you're serious, hehe."
As he said this, he couldn't help but chuckle, and he looked like a pervert who had got a treasure.
Not far away, several soldiers were gathering together to take a short rest, but they kept glancing towards Wang Qi and Nan Qiao from time to time.
One of the soldiers was the first to notice something was wrong with Wang Qi. He nudged his companion and nodded, motioning for him to look in Wang Qi's direction. Then, he muttered in a low voice, "Hey, look at the battalion commander. What's wrong with you today? Why are you grinning like an idiot the whole time? Are you crazy? You don't look normal."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers nearby also focused their attention and after a careful examination, another soldier whispered, "Hey, you don't know yet, our battalion commander is always like this in front of Qiao Qiao, he acts stupid at the slightest provocation, we're used to it."
"Don't worry about him, maybe he'll be back to normal in a while."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding and went back to their own business. However, they couldn't help but glance at Wang Qi occasionally with a teasing smile in their eyes.
The 233rd Regiment continued to prepare and set off, taking a day to cross a mountain.
As night fell quietly, the 233rd Regiment rested on a hillside.
After the meal, the logistics department distributed rare canned meat to the female comrades, which was a big surprise during the arduous days of marching and fighting.
Nan Qiao held the can of meat tightly in his hand and looked around the camp for Wang Qi.
After searching for a long time, I finally saw Wang Qi sitting alone on a hillside not far away, looking up at the twinkling stars in the sky quietly.
Nan Qiao walked up the hillside quietly, came to Wang Qi, and patted his shoulder gently.
Wang Qi turned his head and saw that it was Nan Qiao, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Nan Qiao didn't say anything, but handed the can of meat in her hand to Wang Qi and said with a smile: "Here, for you. Boys should eat more meat to grow muscles."
Wang Qi was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand to refuse: "Qiaoqiao, how can this be? This is for you female comrades, keep it for yourself."
Nan Qiao smiled indifferently and stuffed the can into his arms.
"You gave me a saber, and I gave you canned meat. It's even."
As she spoke, she sat down next to Wang Qi and looked up at the sky.
She grew up in an orphanage and was accustomed to hardship. She wasn't very particular about food, and she didn't have much need for canned meat.
Wang Qi, on the other hand, was very tired from leading everyone on the march and fighting every day, so he needed some tonic.
Wang Qi felt sweet in his heart after hearing Nan Qiao's words. Doesn't this count as an exchange of tokens of love?
He took the can and said with emotion: "Qiaoqiao, you are so kind to me."
He had never seen Nan Qiao be so nice to other male warriors, and she was even willing to give him the precious canned meat. Does this mean that she also has other thoughts about him?
Nan Qiao rolled her eyes at him, gently hit his shoulder, and said angrily, "Haven't I always been very nice to you?"
As she spoke, her expression darkened. "We've been through so much together. Some of the original 233rd Regiment members died, some were injured. Now you're the only one left. I want you to live well."
Wang Qi looked at Nan Qiao's serious expression, and his heart was deeply touched. He silently clenched the can in his hand and said seriously, "Qiao Qiao, don't be sad. I promise you that I will live well and try my best to live well at all times."
"Yeah." Nan Qiao nodded, "Then keep your word and don't do the stupid thing of blocking the bullet for me last time."
Wang Qi nodded and smiled shyly, "Okay."
At this moment, the breeze blowing on the hillside cannot blow away the deep friendship between the two people. The stars twinkle in the night sky, as if they are also witnessing their sincere feelings.
