Chapter 41: Dirty Hands

Sanda had to coax Liu Mengmeng back by all means and using all kinds of sweet words.

But she didn't coax him for too long, because Liu Mengmeng knew that if she didn't grab this step and go down, there might be no step for her to go down in a while.

So even though she was still very unhappy, she came back with a sour face.

However, Sanda promised her that he would help her get back at her, and she did not refuse.

Anyway, it was Sanda who volunteered, right?

Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved. Since she had a knife, why should she dirty her hands?

When the others saw them coming back, they scattered like birds and beasts. After resting for a while, the team got up and started looking for supplies.

When they left, Xin Yue wanted to carry Liu Qingqing along with her, but Liu Qingqing refused, saying that she was already a big kid, so the small group took into consideration that Liu Qingqing was not walking very fast.

The group of people moved slowly as if they were on a tour, and from time to time they would pass by and pick up some flowers, fruits, etc. to cheer Liu Qingqing up.

This made Liu Mengmeng very unhappy.

"Zuo Zili, we're doing confrontational training. We're moving so slowly now. Do you still want to win? If you don't want to win, don't drag us along. This is related to our academic credits."

Captain Zuo Zili's body also stiffened for a moment. Although what Liu Mengmeng said was unpleasant, it was also the truth. This was related to their test results, but it was indeed inconvenient to have a child in the team.

Liu Qingqing seemed to see his concerns, thought for a moment, and reached out to hug Xin Yue.

Xin Yue was naturally happy to agree, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, Zuo Zili grabbed Liu Qingqing and held her in his arms.

"You girls don't have much strength and get tired easily, so I'll hold you."

He said this without caring about the others' expressions and strode forward. The others hurried to follow, and the speed suddenly increased.

When Xin Yue saw that her child was lost, she was angry and anxious. She ran forward to get Liu Qingqing back, but her speed was not as fast as Zuo Zili's long legs.

Seeing that she couldn't catch up, Xin Yue gave up, but she kept muttering bad things about Zuo Zili in her heart.

Bah, this stinky man who abuses his power for personal gain, she is so angry!

Liu Qingqing, who was suddenly held in his arms, was also very confused. The person holding her had turned from a little sister into a stinky man. She couldn't accept it. Don't—

Heartbroken (-ω`)

However, she was being held in his arms at this time, and no one else had time to accept her opinion. Liu Qingqing had no choice but to lie on Zuo Zili's shoulder, missing her sister's embrace very much.

Alas, the sweet and soft little sister is still better. The captain’s muscles are too hard and it hurts her.

There was no other way, so she had to put her arms around Zuo Zili's neck, put her head on his shoulder and looked at Liu Mengmeng and Sanda behind her with resentment.

Oh, she's in a bad mood, so neither of them will be in a good mood.

However, Liu Qingqing tried her best to control her malice and continued to brainwash herself:

Could a child have any malicious intent? She just wanted to play a game with those two people. It wasn't a murder, and nothing would happen to them. It was just a game.

After calming down, Liu Qingqing carefully activated her wood-related abilities as if she was playing a game. Without anyone noticing, a long tree root stretched out into the team, then quickly and stealthily tied up Sanda and Liu Mengmeng's feet. Then, with a strong pull, both of them fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Sanda just groaned and took a deep breath. But Liu Mengmeng screamed and kept shouting:

"Oh! Help, help! Something is grabbing my foot. Get it off my feet! Help!"

Seeing this, the other people in the team quickly surrounded the two of them, and then carefully looked at the ground and found that there was nothing around.

Everyone was speechless.

You two are both in your teens and twenties and you can fall down on the ground. It's okay if you fall down, but why are you yelling? Aren't you afraid of attracting wild animals?

They were speechless in their hearts but didn't say anything. They knew that if they dared to say another word at this time, Liu Mengmeng would retort them dozens of words.

Captain Zuo Zili came over holding Liu Qingqing, patted her back gently, and then put his hand on the back of her head, as if trying to calm her down and tell her not to be afraid.

Zuo Zili was speechless. This woman's voice was too loud. Her shouting scared the little girl in his arms so much that she trembled. Chenchen must have been frightened by this bad woman.

However, at this moment, Liu Qingqing was laughing so hard in his arms that she couldn't stop, and she had to hold back her voice so that Zuo Zili wouldn't notice, but she couldn't hold back the shaking of her body!

This created the illusion that the child was trembling with fear in his arms, but in fact, Liu Qingqing was smiling with her back to them, her teeth showing.

Hahaha, Liu Mengmeng, I told you not to bully me. Don't think I don't know that the candy was spiked with something. You still want to fight me? I want to see who can beat who along the way!

Thinking of this, she laughed so hard that tears came out. She subconsciously hugged Zuo Zili's neck and rubbed her eyes on his neck.

Captain Zuo Zili felt that the little girl was so frightened that she couldn't stop crying. She hugged his neck for support and rubbed it for comfort.

Ah! What kind of cutie is this?

Thinking of this, Zuo Zili's heart became even more deviant.

Zuo Zili frowned, his eyes showing anger that could be seen immediately:

"Liu Mengmeng, let me tell you, if you do this again, I will definitely make a note of you in the overall report after this mission is over, and it will be included in your resume from now on."

This can already be considered a threat.

Liu Mengmeng gritted her teeth and climbed up from the ground, staring at Captain Zuo Zili but not daring to say anything harsh.

She knew that Captain Zuo Zili had this right, and the group performance in each assessment in the resume would most likely be in the hands of her future husband, which would definitely have an impact on her marriage.

Damn it!

Liu Mengmeng clenched her hands. Seeing that her face was not right, Sanda beside her also held her hands and kept comforting her:

"Don't worry, Mengmeng. I will avenge you. You just need to be well. Don't worry, I will take care of everything."

With Sanda's comforting voice, Liu Mengmeng gradually calmed down and her anger subsided. She raised her delicate little face and a smile appeared on her lips again.

"Okay, Captain, don't worry. I will behave myself and not cause any trouble. Just trust me one more time."

As she spoke, she unconsciously revealed a coquettish tone.

Although Zuo Zili didn't believe this woman, he couldn't say anything more since she had said this, otherwise it would seem that he was just finding fault and making trouble.

"Okay, I'll trust you one more time. If it happens again, don't say anything more and just get out of my team."

He was furious at the thought. If Liu Mengmeng's father hadn't come to his house at his request, and if he hadn't owed her family a favor, how could he have teamed up with her for this assessment? He was already in the top three of the junior class, and now he brought a burden with him and was even despised by the burden. What kind of logic was this?

When he returns home, he will definitely protest to his father and tell him that whoever wants to take the little princess can take her away. He doesn't want to interfere anymore.

Bah, bad luck.
