Chapter 337 Heroes Cherish Heroes Su Tang's heart skipped a beat.
She seriously underestimated Wang Xiaoya, or rather, she seriously underestimated a woman's keen sense of smell and insightful observation skills when faced with gossip, comparable to a police dog and an interrogation expert.
This girl usually seems like a carefree, silly girl who just eats and laughs all day long. But when it comes to times like this, her mind works faster than anyone else's, and she's as clever as a monkey.
She maintained the aloofness and silence that belonged to "Su An" as she pulled her arm away from that iron-like grip.
"Don't move!"
Wang Xiaoya gripped Su Tang's face even tighter, as if she had caught a thief stealing corn from her own field. Her already round eyes now shone with an almost fanatical excitement and curiosity, like a Columbus who had finally discovered a new continent, wishing he could stick a little "I have discovered" flag on Su Tang's face right then and there.
"Sister Su An, don't try to fool me! Something's definitely wrong with you today! Confess!" Wang Xiaoya's face was as serious as if the instructor were having a talk with someone.
Gao Kai's breath hitched; he desperately wanted to find the answer on her face.
She lowered her voice even further, but her unwavering determination was clearly heard by the several female soldiers around her who were listening intently.
The soldiers who were pretending to be passing by stopped in their tracks, craning their necks, their eyes burning with the flames of gossip.
Know each other? How could that be?
One was a specially appointed instructor parachuted in, with a high military rank, like a big shot from Beijing; the other was an orphan girl from the countryside, whose file clearly stated that she was from a rural area. These two had absolutely no connection! If they knew each other, it would be even more surprising than hearing on the radio that our country had set off another firecracker!
"Explain what?" Su Tang tried to bluff her way out.
"Stop pretending!" Wang Xiaoya wasn't buying it. Her gossip radar was on full blast. "You just laughed! Gao Kai asked you what you thought of Instructor Qin, and you laughed! I've been in Battalion Three for so long, and I've never seen you laugh before. Don't tell me you were intimidated by Instructor Qin's domineering aura. I don't believe it!"
Wang Xiaoya's questions came like a barrage of machine gun bullets, giving no one a chance to breathe.
Gao Kai's heart skipped a beat. Yes, that smile… that image was still vivid in his mind. That smile was too unusual.
Su Tang's temples throbbed. This girl's imagination was too vivid. "Don't talk nonsense."
"Look, look! You're guilty!" Wang Xiaoya became even more excited, as if she had caught solid evidence. "If you had nothing to hide, you would have just said 'I don't know you'! You won't even give me a straight answer! Sister Su An, you've disappointed me so much. Aren't we still good sisters who eat from the same pot? You're actually hiding something from us!"
Admit it? Impossible.
This would be tantamount to revealing her identity, and the secret mission given to her by Zheng Hongyi and Minister Xiao would fall through. Su Tang was just about to make up an excuse to get by.
Just then, Chen Xiaocao, who had been hiding behind Wang Xiaoya, timidly tugged at her sleeve.
“Xiaoya, don’t say that about Sister Su An…” Chen Xiaocao’s voice was so soft it was barely audible. “Sister Su An… Sister Su An probably thinks that Instructor Qin looks a bit like her…”
"Similar?" Wang Xiaoya was taken aback, turning her head to look at her. "How are they similar? Our Sister Su An is a woman, and he is a man! Sister Su An is thin, and he is so tall!"
Chen Xiaocao's face turned a little red, but she still mustered her courage and tried to organize her thoughts: "It's not that they look alike... it's the feeling. The two of them don't talk much usually, and they both look cold. But... but they are both good people at heart. We all know that Sister Su An is good to us. As for that Instructor Qin, although he punished people and his methods were scary, I feel that he is similar to Sister Su An in how she usually protects us."
