Chapter 68: Rampage and Crazy Growth
"Don't you need it?" Xiangying raised her beautiful eyebrows and walked towards him on the water stains.
Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a dark light flowed.
"How much do you understand about me? Just because I'm afraid of water, you think I'm not Xiangying, but who else could I be?"
Her words made Jie Chen fall into silence.
Xiangying gathered her clothes with her white hands, and her body swayed slightly from side to side with the ups and downs of the boat.
"I was afraid before because I had never been in the situation I am in now. The destruction of my country and my family is imminent, and my instinct for survival is enough to make me change."
"Do you think that everything I did was just to show off? I was trying to seize the initiative and to gain respect."
Xie Chen suddenly raised his eyes. The light in the cabin was mixed with light and dark, and his eyes were obscure and difficult to understand.
"I know what you want to do. You want to win the admiration of the soldiers in this way."
People naturally admire the strong and subconsciously want to follow them.
Xiangying is very good at controlling people's hearts.
Xie Chen said in a dull voice: "You are working hard to repair the ship, but don't you know that it is completely useless? The people of South Vietnam will not let you go."
Xiangying knew exactly what he would encounter on this trip to South Vietnam.
"Of course I know. I also guess that you won't appreciate it, but with so many soldiers, there will always be people who respect me. Isn't winning people's hearts accumulated bit by bit? I don't do it for anything else, but I don't want to sit and wait for death. I will try my best."
"I'm not afraid of taking risks or getting hurt, I'm just afraid of not winning."
As she spoke, she put her hand on his shoulder and picked the waterweed for him.
This time Jie Chen did not avoid her touch.
Xiang Ying's phoenix eyes sparkled as she looked at his face: "Jie Chen, should we be afraid of something all our lives? Have you ever experienced a major change? Have you ever felt like you were resurrected from the dead?"
Xie Chen's muscles tensed and his face froze.
An unknown emotion flashed across his eyes quickly, and then he gently pushed Xiangying's wrist away.
"You don't have to say anything more. I believe you." He said in a hoarse voice.
Xiangying gently hooked his fingertips and said, "Besides, I treat you as a grasshopper on a boat. If the boat has an accident, you will also be held accountable."
"We will repair the boat ourselves, and then you can answer the admiral when he asks about it, right?"
A complex emotion flashed across Xie Chenbo's eyes.
She actually still considered him?
The boat creaked as it was rocked by the current.
Jie Chen looked at her and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, the robe draped over Xiangying's shoulders suddenly slipped off.
The fair body just came straight into his eyes.
Jie Chen's breath was choked, he quickly bent down, picked up his clothes in panic, and wrapped her tightly.
Xiangying laughed: "Why are you so flustered? What are you afraid of? We have seen it all."
This sentence made Xie Chen's ears blush, and his cold face showed even more anger.
"You won't die if you stop saying such things."
"Why can't you tell me? Are you nervous or shy?"
"you--!"
At this moment, the captain knocked on the door: "Jiang Jian, bring the clean clothes."
Jie Chen stepped forward and opened the door a little.
The captain wanted to show concern for Xiangying's situation, but as soon as he glanced past Jie Chen and looked inside, Jie Chen frowned and scolded him, "What are you looking at?"
The captain lowered his head hastily: "I dare not."
With a bang, the door was closed again.
The captain wiped the rain off his face, feeling aggrieved.
Why is Jie Jianjun so fierce? He didn't see anything.
Inside the boat, Xie Chen handed the clothes to Xiang Ying.
"You change first. When the rain stops tomorrow morning, we'll take the boat back to the front. If you're tired, you can rest here for a while."
Xiangying nodded, turned her back and took off her outer robe.
Xie Chen immediately turned around and left.
But the sudden glance just now made him see that there seemed to be a purple bruise on Xiangying's back.
As soon as Jie Chen left, Xiangying went into the space.
She was very cold after taking a dip in the river just now!
And my lower back hurts terribly.
She quickly opened the medicine cabinet, took out a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing spray, and sprayed it on her waist with her backhand.
Unfortunately, it was not very convenient to put his hands behind his back. Seeing through the brass mirror that the injury was serious, Xiangying applied several plasters on himself.
She dried her hair with a cozy cloth and helped herself to a bowl of hot shrimp noodles with bone broth.
Also grilled two skewers of lamb and peppers.
After eating it with a slurp, my stomach felt warm and my body felt comfortable as well.
Xiangying left the space, fell headfirst on the low couch in the side room, wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep due to exhaustion.
I slept till early the next morning.
When she woke up again, the sky outside was clear.
The all-night rain made the river surface sparkle, and the trees on the distant shore were green and radiant.
Xiangying sat up, rubbing his forehead, and suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"Awake?" It was Jie Chen's voice.
Xiangying hummed, and when she saw Jie Chen coming in with a bowl of minced meat porridge, she blinked in confusion.
"You were standing outside the door the whole time?"
"No, I just happened to come over." Jie Chen explained expressionlessly and handed the hot porridge to her.
Xiangying took two bites and put it down because it had no saltiness and was not fragrant!
Although she knew that putting meat in the porridge was already a great delicacy in the eyes of Jie Chen and those soldiers.
But it doesn’t taste good, and she can’t let her stomach down.
Steam a few crab roe buns and serve them with a dish of ginger vinegar, how delicious it is.
Seeing that she didn't eat, Xie Chen frowned slightly: "Aren't you hungry?"
Xiangying nodded: "It's okay, have you eaten?"
Xie Chen responded with a "hmm" and took out a bottle of ointment from his sleeve.
"This medicine is for bruises."
Xiangying was stunned. It turned out that Jie Chen also saw it.
She took it, and just as he was about to leave, Xiangying called him.
"Please apply the medicine on my back. I can't see it."
Xie Chen froze, and before he could refuse, Xiangying had already put the ointment on his hand.
She took off her outer robe obediently and lay down on the couch.
Just now she had quietly taken off the plaster and stuffed it back into the space.
Xiangying pushed her black hair aside and glanced sideways to see Jie Chen still standing there stupidly without moving.
"Hurry up," she urged, "Don't think about looking for other female prisoners, I only recognize you."
These words made Jie Chen tense up.
He frowned and walked over with heavy steps: "I know, lie down."
Only then did Xiangying look away.
A ball of cold ointment immediately fell on his waist, and Xiangying hissed from the cold.
He stopped immediately: "Does it hurt?"
"A little bit." After she said that, Jie Chen's movements became lighter.
His fingertips had thin calluses, which felt quite comfortable when he rubbed them gently.
Xiangying closed his eyes in enjoyment.
But what Jie Chen saw was an extremely thin waist and porcelain-like skin.
His throat rolled up and down, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.
The bruise was located on the lower back near the buttocks and was purple in color, shocking to look at.
She must have been hit very hard at the time. The severe pain would make a person lose the ability to move instantly, let alone in the water.
But even so, Xiangying was able to come out of the water.
It was not until this moment that Xie Chen felt that Xiangying was right.
He didn't know her very well.
At least, he had no idea she was so tenacious.
The more danger she encountered, the more she ran rampant and grew wildly like a weed.
