Chapter 14: Heartbroken
Ji Lianqi pursed his lips, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
"Ye Ying, you know that's not what I meant, so why are you making such a fuss?"
Ye Ying was stunned. She didn't expect Ji Lianqi to take it seriously.
So he waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "Oh, you can't take a joke..."
But before he could finish his words, Ji Lianqi interrupted him seriously.
"Ye Ying, although I hate what you did to me, I am not someone who cares too much about appearance."
"After spending these few days together, you still don't understand?"
"I care more about the soul and the inner self than the appearance. As long as you behave yourself and stop messing around like before, I can still maintain the status quo with you."
"I asked you to lose weight purely for your health."
Ye Ying had not expected that a casual remark of hers would lead to a long and heartfelt speech from Ji Lianqi, and a feeling of self-blame suddenly surged into her heart.
For now, what else can she do except apologize and swear!
"Yes, sorry, I was just joking. I didn't expect you to take it so seriously."
"I, I promise you, as long as I am still your wife in name only, I will never find another man to cheat on you!"
Seeing Ye Ying's solemn promise, Ji Lianqi didn't know what to say and turned around to pour her a glass of water.
"Did you know you have high blood pressure?"
Ye Ying took the cool white drink and drank it all, "Zhi..."
After thinking for a while, he changed his words: "I don't know. I don't know why I got high blood pressure."
Ji Lianqi nodded and began to explain: "Obesity is a big factor. There are also many other aspects such as diet and daily routine. In short, you should lose weight first, and the rest will depend on what the doctor says."
Ye Ying made a funny expression and said, "Wow, you are amazing. You are not a doctor, so how do you know all this?"
Ji Lianqi was almost amused, but suddenly realized that he should be serious at this moment, and quickly put on a stern face.
It’s just that the corner of my mouth that is slightly raised just can’t be lowered.
Ji Lianqi put the empty cup back on the table, turned over, got on the bed and turned off the lights.
"Go to bed quickly. I'll call you when I get up tomorrow."
"Shout...what are you shouting at me for?"
Ye Ying suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be what she thought?
Ji Lianqi uttered two words in a stiff voice: "Exercise."
Only Ye Ying knew how desperate she was feeling at this moment.
This big brother wakes up before dawn. Do I have to follow him and suffer?
She still wants to take a nap!
Ji Lianqi did what he said. When he got up the next day, he woke Ye Ying up as well.
Ye Ying was extremely reluctant. She closed her hazy eyes, sat up for a few seconds, and then lay down again.
After that, no matter how Ji Lianqi patted her or called her, she pretended not to hear.
Later, Ji Lianqi simply gave up.
I managed to escape on the first day of training.
When she was woken up again, it was already time for breakfast.
Ji Lianqi brought the food back from the cafeteria and put it on the table. When he saw her wake up, he went out with a bucket and a towel.
When I came back, I saw Ye Ying hadn't gotten up yet and looked a little unhappy.
"How long are you going to sleep? Get up, I have something to tell you."
Ye Ying blinked: "You can talk even when I'm lying down."
"No." Ji Lianqi refused coldly, "I'll count to three. If you don't get up, I'll eat all your breakfast."
Phew!
It was so incongruous for such a mild threat to come from such a macho man.
"Okay, I'll get up."
Ye Ying slowly sat up from the bed and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the beautiful scenery in front of her.
At this moment, Ji Lianqi was shirtless, with undried water droplets on his chest. The water droplets slid down his big pectoral muscles little by little to his eight strong abdominal muscles, and finally dripped onto his camouflage pants.
Ji Lianqi, who exudes masculine energy, is as sexy as he can be.
Who doesn't love such a hunk?!
His muscles were built to the right size, not too big, but not too small either, it was simply amazing.
Ye Ying was so engrossed in watching it that she said, "Fuck, I really want to touch it."
Ji Lianqi was a little far away and didn't hear clearly. He frowned and asked, "What?"
"No, nothing. I'll get up right now!"
Ye Ying quickly got up, washed up, and came to the table, only to find that her breakfast was still untouched.
"Why don't you eat first?"
"Not very hungry yet."
Ye Ying did not suspect anything and when she picked up the chopsticks, she found that today's breakfast seemed to have become richer.
"Hey, why are there corns today? And sweet potatoes? And eggs."
Ji Lianqi remained calm and said, "There will be extra food in the cafeteria today."
Ye Ying nodded in sudden realization: "Oh, I saw it. I thought you went out to buy it for me."
Ji Lianqi didn't say anything, but just told her coldly to eat quickly.
When they were almost done eating, he finally spoke: "August 1 is just a few days away. You are now at least... a military wife."
"You should know that other military wives are also rehearsing for the August 1st Cultural and Art Festival during this period."
"Captain Hao and Political Commissar He want you to join the military wives team."
"What?" Ye Ying found it unbelievable. They wanted a fat girl like her to attend a performance?
What an international joke.
This is a very bad proposal.
"Well, look at my physique. Wouldn't it be a joke if I were to go on stage? Or... just forget it?"
"No." Ji Lianqi was unexpectedly persistent on this matter.
"Even if you don't go on stage, you still have to join in and do your part."
Ye Ying subconsciously wanted to fool him, so she said casually: "...We'll see when the time comes."
But this matter did not give her any chance to escape.
This was just finished in the morning, and someone came to call Ye Ying in the afternoon.
The one who called her was Captain Hao's daughter-in-law Xiu Lian, who very warmly pulled her out of the house and into the activity room where the military wives were rehearsing the show.
Ye Ying looked around and saw that the military wives were all familiar faces, and she was surprised to find that Lin Ranran was there too.
She subconsciously wanted to hear what these military wives with different expressions were thinking, because she knew very well that they were about to face a big fight.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle.
But Ye Ying found that she could not hear any sound at this moment.
What? What about the newly awakened mind-reading ability?
At this time, one of the military wives sitting on the chair saw Ye Ying and immediately said in a weird tone:
"Hey, isn't this the wife of Deputy Battalion Commander Ji? Why are you thinking of performing here?"
Ye Ying knew that the military wife who was very unfriendly to her was called Liu Juan, the wife of the deputy commander of the second battalion.
Then, Liu Juan pointed to a basket in the corner and said with a fake smile:
"Go ahead and pick a show for yourself."
Ye Ying looked over and saw some performance props in the basket.
The red ribbons, big fans, and red silk hand-woven ribbons used in the Yangko dance...
She couldn't imagine how eye-catching it would be to see this 200-pound body dancing the Yangge.
I’m afraid the soldiers watching the performance will lose their appetite!
