Chapter 36: Xu Qiaofeng is showing her affection
The moment the belt lashed against my body.
Ning Xin trembled with pain, her scream caught in her throat, and a red mark instantly swelled up on her face.
She stared at Zhang Yanfei in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Brother Yanfei, why did you hit me? I did it for your sake!"
"For my sake?" Zhang Yanfei's eyes were fierce as she raised the belt high and brought it down heavily. "You dressed up so fancy to go to the tent just to make the whole team laugh at me?"
"Do you know how many leaders were there at the time? I was sabotaged by a backstabber, and this assessment is very likely to be ruined!"
He got angrier and angrier as he spoke, and raised his hand to slap her again.
Ning Tang is good at everything; she's beautiful and even has a decent job. They both share the surname Ning, but Ning Xin only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, like a brainless pig.
Ning Xin was so frightened that she scrambled to the back to hide.
The boasting and smugness he had shown in front of Ning Tang were long gone, replaced by a deep sense of fear.
"I was wrong! I'll never do it again!"
“Brother Yanfei! Do you remember that official’s wife? She asked me to go for a walk in the park today. Trust me, I can help you with this!” Ningxin patted her chest and assured him.
Zhang Yanfei stepped forward.
He reached out and grabbed her hair.
"Let me tell you, if you come back today and this matter isn't resolved, I'll break your legs!"
My hair was pulled painfully.
Ning was so heartbroken that tears streamed down her face, and she dared not utter another word.
She suddenly felt regret.
In her past life, she married Xu Qiaofeng. Although he treated her like she was invisible, he never mistreated her and never laid a finger on her.
I would never do something like this, to humiliate her like this outside.
But then she thought, she was reborn to live a good life. If she couldn't even hold onto Zhang Yanfei, who was a powerful figure, wouldn't her rebirth have been in vain?
Mrs. Li's invitation was the only opportunity.
As long as she can help Zhang Yanfei resolve this matter, he will definitely continue to coax her like before.
Ning Xin gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, dusted herself off, and, enduring the pain, staggered after Zhang Yanfei as they went home.
...
at the same time.
In the team.
Xu Qiaofeng stood downstairs in his military uniform, holding the newly awarded certificate in his hand.
During this firefighting mission, he rushed to the front and not only rescued more than ten teammates, but also brought the fire under control in the central area. The team specially awarded him a third-class merit.
"Captain Xu, you've already received a third-class merit award, yet you still have such a long face. Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd had a fight with your wife," Pang Bo said with a laugh as he sat folded up on the horizontal bar.
The whole morning has passed, and their team leader Xu has been sullen the whole time.
This state is very similar to when he used to argue with his wife.
Thinking of how beautiful and gentle my sister-in-law is, I'm not afraid of thieves stealing from me, but I'm afraid of thieves eyeing me.
Captain Xu is a man of few words; if he keeps his thoughts to himself, trouble will inevitably follow sooner or later.
Pang Bo felt a deep sense of responsibility; he had to help these two solve their problem.
"Captain Xu, let me tell you from my own experience: couples often make up after a fight. As long as it doesn't cross any lines, why don't you take the initiative to apologize to your wife?"
Xu Qiaofeng's face darkened: "..."
Does he look like a tasteless, womanizing loser?
"We didn't argue."
Pang Bo jumped off the horizontal bar, moved closer to him, and winked: "Why are you making a face if we didn't have a fight?"
"Did you make your wife angry by being too mean? Well, our Captain Xu has a sharp tongue, everyone who comes here gets a few words from him. How about I teach you a few nicer things to say?"
“No need.” Xu Qiaofeng interrupted him, then changed the subject, “By the way, I’m leaving a little early today, remember to cover for me.”
Pang Bo was stunned for a moment.
He immediately realized that Xu Qiaofeng was dressed particularly neatly today. Although it was the same military uniform, he looked much more handsome than usual.
He didn't realize it until the person had left.
Captain Xu got his hair done! That usually reserved guy is such a flirt!
It was afternoon.
Xu Qiaofeng was just about to drive to the hospital to pick up Ning Tang from work when, for some reason, he took the key out, closed the car door, and strode out on his own.
Five o'clock.
The doctors and nurses who weren't on duty tonight gradually went home.
Ning Tang was also inside, but Zhang Jiaman, who usually clung to her side, unusually followed behind her today, not daring to look up at her.
The others didn't know what was going on.
Wang Yan went over to ask her about it, and after learning about the foolish thing Zhang Jiaman had done, she was so angry that her face turned red.
Just as he was about to find a way to talk to Ning Tang, Xu Qiaofeng arrived.
"Director Wang, I have to go now." Ning Tang said, seemingly oblivious to the hesitant expression on Wang Yan's face, and left after saying this.
The moment Zhang Jiaman saw Xu Qiaofeng, her eyes reddened.
She looks exactly like a resentful woman.
How could Captain Xu ignore him... Doesn't he know what kind of effort he has put in for him...?
Xu Qiaofeng and Ning Tang were unaware of Zhang Jiaman's inner thoughts.
By this time, the two had already walked quite a distance.
The weather is lovely today; the sun feels warm and comforting on my skin, as if it can wash away the day's fatigue.
The pedestrians on the street all had smiles on their faces, but the atmosphere between the two of them had been a bit awkward.
Finally, Xu Qiaofeng spoke first: "It's still early to go back now. There's a movie theater nearby. Want to watch 'Tunnel Warfare'?"
In both of her lifetimes combined, Ning Tang had never seen a movie.
She was a little curious, met Xu Qiaofeng's questioning eyes, and nodded gently.
When Xu Qiaofeng saw that she agreed, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
There weren't many people at the movie theater entrance. Xu Qiaofeng went to buy tickets with practiced ease, and also bought two boxes of peanuts and two bottles of soda.
When we entered, it was crowded and the environment was dim.
Ning Tang instinctively protected her stomach, worried that she might fall, when suddenly someone grabbed her wrist. She turned around and saw Xu Qiaofeng.
He walked in front, shielding her on the inside, so that the people around them couldn't squeeze in.
After we sat down, Xu Qiaofeng thoughtfully handed me the peanut box, opened the soda lid, and inserted a straw.
He handed over the soda, and seeing Ning Tang accept it, Xu Qiaofeng's tense face finally relaxed.
His lips curled up slightly, making him look rather cheerful.
"Girls all like to drink this, do you like it?"
Seemingly afraid of misunderstanding, she added, "Pang Bo told me. I'm usually busy with training and didn't know about these things."
As he spoke, Xu Qiaofeng stared intently at Ning Tang's expression with his ridiculously handsome face.
It's obvious.
It couldn't be more obvious.
Xu Qiaofeng was showing her affection.
It's still the kind of advances you use when pursuing a girl.
Ning Tang felt a heat rise to the tips of her ears after she noticed it.
She lowered her eyes, took a sip of her soda, and felt a warm glow in her heart. She said softly, "I like it, it's quite sweet."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qiaofeng's eyes lit up even more, and he even deliberately pushed his soda towards Ning Tang.
"They have other flavors outside, I'll buy you some more when we get out."
