Chapter 324 I Like You
After dinner, Zhang Ping thought about it and decided to go find Leng Qiao. He didn’t want to be the one who regretted it.
Zhang Ping arrived at the Leng family's villa. Leng Jiashan was the person in charge of the base, so there were naturally soldiers guarding outside the door.
Zhang Ping was embarrassed to say he was looking for Leng Qiao, so he said he was looking for Leng Hui.
Leng Hui came out and was surprised to see it was him. "You're looking for me? Is there something wrong?"
Zhang Ping's face flushed. "Actually, I want to look for Leng Qiao. Is she at home?"
"She's not here!" Leng Hui shook his head. "She's in the training hall over there doing special training with Instructor Lin. She said her physical fitness isn't as good as others and she needs to intensify her training."
"She wasn't this active before. After being transferred to the submarine department, she seemed to have grown up all of a sudden."
"But then again, why didn't she ask you to help her train? Have you been busy lately?"
Zhang Ping's face flushed, and he didn't dare to tell the truth. He said casually, "Well, now that I'm free, I wanted to ask her if she still needs me."
Leng Hui raised his eyebrows, "Then I don't know, go ask her yourself."
Zhang Ping rushed to the training hall and saw Leng Qiao playing chess with Lin Lei. The game was very close. Leng Qiao was sweating profusely and his army green T-shirt was soaked, but he refused to stop.
When Leng Qiao saw Zhang Ping, he was distracted and was kicked out by Lin Lei.
Leng Qiao screamed "Ah" and fell to the ground. Zhang Ping panicked and ran over to help her up, shouting at Lin Lei, "Did you have to be so harsh?"
Lin Lei scratched his head and said, "I didn't use much strength..."
"Can your strength be the same as a girl's?" Zhang Ping got angry.
Leng Qiao pushed Zhang Ping away. "Why are you yelling at him? I told him not to hold back. Why are you here to cause trouble?"
"I..." Zhang Ping choked and quickly looked at Leng Qiao, "How is it? Are you hurt?"
"What's it to you?" Leng Qiao stood up and rubbed his stomach which had just been kicked by Lin Lei. It really hurt.
He said to Lin Lei: "Instructor Lin, let's stop here for today."
"Okay!" Lin Lei nodded, "Are you okay?"
Leng Qiao smiled and said, "It's okay, just go back and have some rest."
Leng Qiao took his coat and walked out of the training hall, and Zhang Ping hurriedly followed.
"Are you really okay? Do you want me to take a look at you?"
Leng Qiao stopped and looked at him coldly, "What do you want to see? Take off my clothes and see?"
"I..., that's not what I meant. I'll go get the medicine for you, or should I take you to the infirmary?" Zhang Ping said hesitantly.
"Don't worry about it. I have medicine at home." Leng Qiao glanced at Zhang Ping and walked towards home.
"Leng Qiao!" Zhang Ping walked up to Leng Qiao and said, "I've made up my mind. I'll give you special training from now on. I have time..."
"No need." Leng Qiao walked around Zhang Ping. "I think Instructor Lin is great. I've learned a lot in the past two weeks, and my physical fitness has improved a lot. Training must have continuity. Changing instructors at the last minute is a big taboo."
Zhang Ping didn’t know what to say. Didn’t he have any chance?
Looking at Leng Qiao's back as he walked away, he still followed him.
"I can do everything he can do. I can do it better than him. I know it was wrong of me to reject you before. I've thought it through and I won't do it again..."
Leng Qiao stopped and turned to look at him, "Then do you know why I looked for you before?"
"Because, because..." Zhang Ping was a little embarrassed to continue. Saying that she liked him made him seem very self-indulgent.
"Yes, it's because I like you." Leng Qiao blushed and her eyes turned red. "But how did you treat me?"
"I went looking for you, but you wanted to stay three meters away from me. Wherever I was, you quietly retreated as if I were some kind of germ. Do you hate me that much?"
"No, no..." Zhang Ping said quickly, "I don't hate you, I just... hate myself. I hate my cowardice and feel that I am not worthy of you..."
"You are so beautiful, so dazzling, like a red sun in the crowd, and I am just an ordinary soldier..."
Leng Qiao was stunned for a moment, "What did you just say?"
Zhang Ping was a little confused. Which sentence?
"I'm just an ordinary soldier?"
"The previous sentence!"
"You are like a red sun in the crowd?"
"Further ahead!"
"You are so beautiful, so dazzling..."
Leng Qiao's face lifted up and he smiled, "So you like me too?"
Zhang Ping's face flushed red, "I, I..."
"If you don't like it, forget it!" Leng Qiao pretended to be angry and turned away.
Zhang Ping quickly caught up with him, "I like it, I like it!"
After saying this, his face and neck turned red.
The corners of Leng Qiao's mouth curled up, "You didn't lie to me?"
"No!" Zhang Ping was very firm this time. "I've actually liked you for a long time. I'm just worried that I'm not worthy of you. But I've thought it through and I want to say it. I don't want to regret it. If you fall in love with someone else, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
Leng Qiao smiled, looked at Zhang Ping, and stretched out his hand, "Give me your hand."
Zhang Ping reached out his hand, but Leng Qiao suddenly pulled it back, "Forget it, my hands are all sweaty."
"It's okay." Zhang Ping quickly held her hand. Her hand was wet and warm, but he felt very comfortable.
Leng Qiao's face also turned red. The man's hands were big and dry, and he completely covered her hands in his palms.
Her heart was pounding.
The two of them walked hand in hand to the Leng family villa. Zhang Ping quickly let go of her hand, fearing that he would be seen by the leader.
Leng Hui saw everything through the window in the room.
"You go back first. I'll go home to take a shower and have a meal, then come back to find you." Leng Qiao said to Zhang Ping.
"Okay!" Zhang Ping nodded, his eyes shining as he looked at Leng Qiao.
Leng Qiao returned home, took a shower and changed clothes.
When they returned to the living room, everyone else had finished their meal and left some food for her.
During this period, she intensified her training so that her family didn't have to wait for her.
While eating, Leng Hui walked over and sat down at the dining table.
"Zhang Ping came to see you just now?"
"How did you know?" Leng Qiao was surprised. "Did you ask him to come to me?"
"No." Leng Hui shook his head. "He came to my house and asked me, so I told him you were in the training hall."
Leng Qiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He was the one who took the initiative, otherwise he would really be angry again.
"Is he pursuing you?" Leng Hui said straight to the point.
Leng Qiao was startled and blushed, "Yeah!"
"What about you, do you like him?"
Leng Qiao smiled and said, "Yeah, I've liked him for a long time. He's so stupid, he doesn't understand what I'm thinking at all."
Leng Hui smiled and said, "Although I don't object to you falling in love, you are still young and need to think carefully. Besides, a great disaster is coming soon, and we don't know what will happen in the future..."
Leng Qiao put down his chopsticks and looked at his brother. "It's because I don't know what the future will be like that I have to cherish my present life. If I die in a disaster, I might regret not being with the person I love..."
"What nonsense! How could you die?" Leng Hui's face darkened.
Leng Qiao sighed slightly, "Brother, although we soldiers have a better chance of survival than others, no one knows what will happen in the future. Aren't there still many people who will die in the apocalypse?"
"No one knows how serious the disaster will be and how many people will die. I have already made preparations..."
Leng Hui was stunned. His sister was actually only twenty years old, but he didn't expect her to be so insightful.
At her age, she should have been living a carefree life in college, but because of the apocalypse, she joined the army as soon as she became an adult, and now she has to take on the task of protecting the "seed" container.
He really felt sorry for her.
Let her do whatever she wants, I don't want her to have any regrets.
