Seeing that Qi Meili's situation was similar to that of the original owner, Chu Nian said, "Forget it, let's go back first!" Although she felt that a swift and decisive approach was the best way to handle the situation, if Qi Meili couldn't do that for the time being, she would have to settle for second best.
Chu Nian was about to pull the somewhat bewildered Qi Meili away when Qi Meili suddenly took a deep breath and said, "No, you're right. It's better to clarify some things sooner rather than later, so as not to delay things further." She was thinking about Wu Nian's performance in the team recently, which had already aroused the dissatisfaction of her superiors and colleagues.
However, Wu Nian's situation wasn't due to her true abilities, but rather because she was held back by her relationship with Peng Jian. Therefore, Qi Meili was deeply shaken by Chu Nian's earlier use of the word "delay."
She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Peng Kang, we've broken up. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Jingyue asked in surprise, "Meili, what are you doing?"
She did have some affection for the Peng brothers who were always trying to please her; after all, who would genuinely dislike someone who goes to great lengths to please them? However, she was well aware that the two brothers' feelings for her were not purely romantic; and her affection for them was only slight and did not rise to the level of love.
Isn't it good that we take care of each other and try our best to make each other happy? She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she and the Peng brothers were doing.
"Let's go!" Ignoring Jing Yue's question, Qi Meili said to Chu Nian, and pulled Chu Nian out of the night market.
"Beautiful! Beautiful!" Jingyue caught up with Qi Meili. "I think you've misunderstood. My brother and I are really not what you and Niannian think."
Qi Meili had already controlled her emotions and smiled, "Captain Jing, maybe that's what you think, but the two of them probably have other ideas. My breakup with him has nothing to do with you; it's just that I've seen through his scumbag nature."
At this point, she felt it wasn't worth offending Jing Yue for a scumbag, after all, he was her boss! Her thoughts were the same as the original owner Wu Nian's, but no one knew what Jing Yue was really thinking.
Seeing Chu Nian and Qi Meili walk away together, Jing Yue stood there stunned.
The Peng brothers thought Wu Nian and Qi Meili were dazzling stars at school, but after joining the military, they discovered that there were many more dazzling stars there. Wu Nian and Qi Meili no longer stood out.
They had long intended to break up with Wu Nian and Qi Meili, hoping to find a better match and achieve great success. Jing Yue was merely their temporary first target.
In fact, Jingyue, Wu Nian, and Qi Meili had all seen through the intentions of the two brothers, so Wu Nian and Qi Meili ultimately chose to break up, and Jingyue didn't have any real feelings for either of them.
"Captain Jing, I thought I could spend some time with you and relax, but I didn't expect to run into those two," Peng Jian said, his tone quite annoyed. In his view, Wu Nian had become a stumbling block to his future.
Jingyue smiled helplessly and said, "It's all my fault. I should have kept my distance from you. You two go after them. Don't worry about me."
The Peng brothers were startled when they heard this.
Peng Jian hurriedly said, "Captain Jing, it's because they're petty. They make a fuss over the smallest things. My brother and I have had enough of them."
Peng Kang also said, "Don't worry, Captain Jing, we know those two better than anyone. My brother and I will find a way to give them some compensation later. After all, we did date for a while, and my brother and I won't be stingy with breakup fees."
Jingyue: "You really don't need to do this for me. We're all members of the same exploration team, why make such a fuss? Besides, I've already told you, there's no future for either of us..."
“We understand,” Peng Jian said. “We’re just fed up with those two young ladies’ princess-like tempers and don’t want to be bullied anymore.”
Jingyue sighed helplessly and said, "I hope they won't hold a grudge against me because of you two!" After a pause, she added, "When we go on missions later, I'll take extra care of them. I hope they understand the goodwill I'm showing them."
Peng Jian's lips twitched, and he said, "Captain Jing, you don't know this, but I dated Wu Nian for a while and found that she's not... a person who knows how to be virtuous."
He was afraid that if Jing Yue reconciled with Wu Nian, Wu Nian would also reconcile with him, and then it would be troublesome for him to find a better woman in the military.
Jingyue said, "Really? She's that kind of person? I really didn't see that coming. Oh well, whether they accept my kindness or not is their business, and whether I do it or not is my business. As long as they're willing to get along well with me, I'll take care of them in the future, whether it's during missions or when reporting on situations."
The way she said it made it sound like if Chu Nian and Qi Meili had a chance to be promoted, it would all be thanks to her kind words.
Although Chu Nian and Qi Meili had gone far away, Chu Nian's strong mental power and keen senses allowed her to hear their conversation clearly.
These three are all scumbags to a certain degree!
Chu Nian sighed inwardly, but remained calm as she and Qi Meili went their separate ways.
Two days later, their team received another exploration mission and entered Huai Mountain once again.
In fact, although Chu Nian had been hiding at home these past few days, condensing the large amount of nuclear energy he had absorbed into mineral veins, in addition to sending Simon to search for the boundary gate, he had also secretly sent Xiao Jin out to infiltrate Huai Mountain. After all, Huai Mountain was mostly inhabited by demons, and it should be relatively easier for this old demon to move around.
The bird vanished without a trace the moment it left her sight, and there was no news of it for several days.
Although Chu Nian had made a pact with him, this guy wasn't the type to be disciplined. He was determined to break free of the constraints and go around doing whatever he wanted, just like before.
Xiao Jin must have used some secret method to temporarily hide, hoping to sever his connection with Chu Nian. Once Chu Nian leaves this world, he can stay here and continue his rampage.
He was dreaming; it would be a miracle if Chu Nian let such a scourge run rampant.
Chu Nian herself still wanted to act arrogantly!
Chu Nian knew perfectly well that he was unruly and would still let him out, so she had obviously tampered with him beforehand. Ha, he'd already signed the contract; how could he escape her grasp?
Just like the original owner of this body, Chu Nianyi stayed by Qi Meili's side in the team. During this time, because of Peng Jian's matter, the original owner had been heartbroken and hadn't been able to focus much on her work. Therefore, Qi Meili took good care of her when they went on missions together. The original owner also stayed by Qi Meili's side the whole time.
