Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 444: Taking Advantage of the Slope
Zhu Shiliang told everyone about the thrilling experience of that day, and everyone was moved to tears.
"Later I found out that if you failed to successfully enter your information that day, your test results would be invalidated."
"Ah? Why?" everyone exclaimed.
Zhu Shiliang explained: "It is said that the guard team believes that luck is also a kind of strength, so those who missed that day will be re-evaluated."
Everyone was silent after hearing this, because this reason was really hard to describe.
You call it superstition, it does make sense, but if you call it rational, it's not fair.
Seeing that the atmosphere was no longer as relaxed as before, Shen Yanming quickly said, "I fried some dried mushrooms before coming here. Would you all like to try some?"
When they heard that there was delicious food, Qin Yiren and Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.
They didn’t know if it was an illusion, but they felt that the food didn’t taste good during the period when Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were away.
In fact, it was just that he was not used to the fact that the pickled vegetables that the couple occasionally shared with him during meals were gone, and he was not used to it for a while.
"Come on, come on, don't be polite, it's just a little snack." Bi Qiaoan smiled and put the oil paper bag on the table, and took out a toothpick from her bag and put it on the napkin.
Although we haven't seen each other for a while, we have worked together for nearly two years and are familiar with each other's tempers.
So Qin Yiren, Li Yueya and the others didn't hesitate at all. They went straight up to get two toothpicks, picked up the dried mushrooms and started eating.
While eating, he commented, "Old Shen, your cooking skills are getting better and better."
After hearing this, Shen Yanming just smiled and said, "Then you should eat more. There won't be many opportunities like this in the future."
Qin Yiren nodded hurriedly, and the way she ate frantically looked as if she had been hungry for several days.
The newcomers were a little shy. They took one look at the excitement here and felt embarrassed to come over.
Chen Yanming called out to his two apprentices, "What are you standing there for? Come and have a taste. If you two don't work harder, there won't be even a dregs left."
The two disciples came over with a smile, and then saw Qin Yiren rolling her eyes at Shen Yanming. "I say, Old Shen, even if you want to protect your disciples, you don't have to blacken my reputation. You make me sound like a foodie."
She said, but her hands didn't stop moving. "It's just about cherishing food and finishing your plate. Look at them, they are so reserved. I'm afraid no one will dare to eat this thing until it gets cold."
Qin Yiren's words instantly stimulated everyone present. They rubbed their hands, walked up to the two men, smiled innocently, thanked them, and then picked up the toothpick to taste.
Qin Yiren laughed when she saw someone trying to grab the food from her. "That's how it should be. Otherwise, what's the point of one or two people eating alone here? Oh my hand, so-and-so, if you want to eat, can't you just prick it yourself? Why do you have to grab the food from my hand?"
As he said this, he pretended to beat that shameless guy to death.
As a result, the man laughed and said, "Sister Yiren, what you have is delicious!"
After these words were spoken, Qin Yiren felt too embarrassed to take action.
"You're a sensible boy, but if you dare to tease me again, I will break all your limbs." Qin Yiren joked with a smile.
"No way, you look so weak on the outside, but you are so cruel on the inside?" The young man pretended to be hit hard, "Sister Yiren, how can you get married in the future like this? Otherwise, marry me? I promise, I will treat you well!"
"You little bastard!" Qin Yiren scolded with a smile, "Get out of here!"
"Okay, I got it!" The young man grabbed Qin Yiren's right hand, put the dried mushroom on her toothpick into his mouth, and then ran away as fast as he could.
Qin Yiren's cheeks flushed, she was both angry and embarrassed. Under everyone's teasing gaze, she was in a dilemma whether to pursue him or not.
"Well, he is just like that. You have been in contact with him for a month, so you should have some understanding of him." Qin Yiren felt a little guilty and touched her nose uncomfortably.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "Yeah, he is quite lively and funny."
"Yes, yes, that's right!" Qin Yiren said, and then pretended nothing had happened and joined the team grabbing food.
She was too embarrassed to look up, so she didn't see Bi Qiaoan whispering to Xia Ran, "What's wrong with that handsome boy? Is he chasing after the beautiful Qin?"
Xia Ran smiled and shook her head, "I don't know, it seems like he flirts with me every time, but then he runs away, and there's no clear indication."
Bi Qiaoan was surprised, "Isn't that just playing with ambiguity?"
"You can't say that. After all, they are always very sensible. Just like today, they didn't make their relationship clear, and there was no physical contact. You can say it's an ambiguous relationship between the two of them, or you can say it's just a joke between good friends.
We just make a fuss occasionally, but in reality, there may not be anything wrong."
Bi Qiaoan didn't expect this to happen. She could only remind him, "Don't joke around. What if the boy doesn't have any ideas and asks you to coax him? If he gets suspicious, it will be troublesome."
Xia Ran nodded, but didn't take it to heart.
She thought that even if this was the case, it didn't matter. Qin Yiren was so good, so it would be easy for her to catch a little boy in a matter of minutes, right?
Seeing her carelessness, Bi Qiaoan could only smile helplessly.
Although she was laughing and joking with everyone just now, she also noticed that when the boy looked at Qin Yiren, there was no love in his eyes, just like in everyone else.
She thought that the other person was probably just a playful person, and that he chose Qin Yiren because she was pretty, had a good personality, and could take a joke.
But Qin Yiren is a girl after all, she will blush and be shy when others tease her. After a long time, who knows, she may really fall in love with this little milk dog.
However, everyone has their own fate, so it is enough for her to just remind them, there is no need to interfere.
After all, one might say this is also a wonderful marriage.
The atmosphere in the office was very good, everyone was chatting and laughing, it felt like a rare gathering.
No matter how much dried mushrooms Shen Yanming prepared, they were all eaten up in a few minutes because there were so many people.
Then we would share each other’s work during this period. Of course, most of it was just complaints and rants.
Qin Yiren and others complained to Zhu Shiliang about how difficult it was to receive the disaster victims this time.
Yu Shui comforted her by using his busy daily schedule.
In short, it's a competition to compare misery.
Yu Shui talked about the morning and evening training, and then expressed self-sympathy for his ten-hour work day.
Qin Yiren laughed so hard that she doubled over. "Hahahaha, when I first heard that you were transferred to the guard team, I was quite envious and jealous. But who knew that your job is not much better than ours. If I had to choose, I would rather stay here 885."
Regardless of how true or false Qin Yiren's words were, they did pour cold water on the jealous hearts of some people.
Yu Shui was also smart. He took advantage of the situation and said, "I'm the same as you, but I have no choice. The assessment was conducted secretly at that time. We didn't know what was going on when we were notified to go to Su City for rescue."
