"What life-saving grace? You are my benefactor." Xu Shengtian waved his hand, but he couldn't help but feel anticipation for the gift she mentioned.
Give him a gift, what gift?
"But it's a fact that the Commander-in-Chief saved my life from Shen Yuwen. My life is very valuable, so of course I should thank the Commander-in-Chief properly."
Bai Yan smiled and said, "So, could you please wait for me at the back hillside after you're done with your work?"
He nodded: "Of course."
"Then we'll be going now, see you later." Bai Yan said goodbye to him and continued walking forward with Xiao Qin.
Xu Shengtian was still staring at her back when he couldn't contain his curiosity and asked the soldier next to him, "What do you think she's going to give me?"
"What else could it be? Offering yourself in marriage!"
"I can't repay a life-saving favor with my body!" The soldier winked at Xu Shengtian. "I knew it! A beauty loves a hero. There's no one on the back slope. Doctor Bai must be..." He raised his hands and tapped his thumbs together.
"Get the hell out of here!" Xu Shengtian smacked him hard on the head: "If you keep spouting nonsense and ruining Dr. Bai's reputation, I'll kill you."
"I won't say anything more, Commander!" The soldier quickly covered his mouth.
Xu Shengtian pointed at him: "Don't you dare tell anyone that Dr. Bai made an appointment with me. If I find out—"
"General, I'll sew my own mouth shut!"
Xu Shengtian then turned and left, walking towards his command tent while thinking to himself with a smug smile: He knew she admired him, but he couldn't do such a thing. It was one thing for her to be young, but he was a man and her senior brother, so he couldn't be so coaxing of a girl.
He needs to persuade her that this kind of thinking is wrong!
They can establish a relationship first, and then gradually get to know each other.
We'll get married after the war ends, and then have seven or eight little kids...
"Where's the lifeguard? Boil some water for me." Xu Shengtian sniffed his clothes: "Damn, why do I stink so much? Where are my clothes? Give me a clean set!"
...
Bai Yan handed all the medicine prescriptions to Xiao Qin and said, "I'll leave the afternoon to you."
"Dr. Bai, don't worry, leave it to me." Xiaoqin patted her chest: "I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
After taking the form to the door, she asked curiously, "Dr. Bai, there's something I don't understand?"
"You could tell that Staff Officer Shen was acting strangely, so why did you still make me tell him? I was terrified when I saw you being held hostage by him that day!"
Bai Yan lied to the young girl without batting an eye: "This is something I discussed with the commander-in-chief. Shen Yuwen has been plotting here for so many years, he must have his own people. We need to lay a big bait so that he can take the bait and we can wipe out all his men in one fell swoop."
"Oh, I see." Xiaoqin nodded, seemingly understanding, "But it's still quite scary. Dr. Bai, you're really brave!"
"I'm leaving now!" Xiaoqin waved and quickly left.
Bai Yan chuckled. It wasn't exactly lying to Xiao Qin. On one hand, it was indeed to fish for her, but on the other hand, it was to quickly improve their relationship, otherwise it would drag on forever.
She then took out a box of moisturizing cream from the small pocket that Yuan had given her, applied it evenly to her face and lips in front of the mirror, and then set off for the back mountain.
Xu Shengtian had been waiting for a while. When he saw Bai Yan coming over, he immediately stood up and said, "Dr. Bai, you've arrived." He glanced at her hands, which were empty; she hadn't taken anything with her.
He was startled.
"What gift are you going to give me?" he asked.
Bai Yan kept him in suspense, saying, "General, close your eyes, I'll take you there."
Xu Shengtian guessed what was going on, and his ears turned slightly red. "It's...it's quite mysterious. Okay, I'll close my eyes!" He closed his eyes and felt a pair of warm, soft hands taking his hand.
"Let's take a few steps forward, Commander, don't open your eyes," Bai Yan said.
"Okay, I won't open my eyes." So as not to embarrass her.
The two quickly stopped standing. Bai Yan clicked her tongue, seemingly somewhat embarrassed: "General, could you squat down?"
It must be because he's too tall, Xu Shengtian thought, so he half-squatted down as Bai Yan had suggested. His eyes were still closed, but he could feel her getting closer and closer, her breath even carrying a sweet scent…
Xu Shengtian was panting heavily, and Bai Yan couldn't help but laugh at his appearance.
He suppressed a laugh and then said, "General, you can open your eyes now."
What do you mean, "open your eyes"? She hasn't even kissed him yet!
Xu Shengtian opened his eyes and saw a machine gun in front of him, its entire body gleaming with a cold black light.
Bai Yan leaned close to him, her hand resting on the fuselage, and whispered, "Commander, this is a sniper rifle you captured from the battlefield. I modified it; its original range of 1,500 meters is now 3,500 meters."
Xu Shengtian should be happy. He's a soldier who fought in battles and knows what a range of 1,500 meters means.
He forced a smile: "This is the gift you said you were going to give me?"
Bai Yan tilted her head and looked at him: "Does the General like it?"
Xu Shengtian smiled earnestly: "I like it, of course I like it very much."
No warlord dislikes machine guns; he's very happy about it!
Bai Yan said, "That's good."
“The back slope is open, perfect for testing the gun.” She pointed to several targets in front of her. “These are the targets I had someone fix in place this morning. The furthest is 4,000 meters away, and the closest is 1,500 meters away. Commander, try to see if you can shoot steadily.”
Xu Shengtian nodded with a stiff smile, and Bai Yan squatted down beside him as well: "Then let's begin, Commander. I've never seen a sharpshooter before."
Turning his grief and anger into motivation, he first aimed his sight at the nearest target, and with a bang, hit the center perfectly.
He then quickly loaded the magazine and aimed at the targets behind him. After a few bangs, almost all of them hit the bullseye, except for the target at 4,000 meters, which floated a little higher.
It's not that his marksmanship is poor; this is just his limit.
Bai Yan clapped: "General, you really have excellent marksmanship. Although this sniper rifle has a long range, it has a lot of recoil. It's hard for most people to control it as steadily as you do. I thought 3,500 was the limit, but I didn't expect you to be so good."
Xu Shengtian stroked the gun and thanked Bai Yan, saying, "It's a good gun. Thank you, Dr. Bai."
Bai Yan looked at him and said, "A good gun is for a hero. Are you happy, Commander?"
"Happy, of course I'm happy."
"But I don't think the Commander-in-Chief seems as happy as he appears." Bai Yan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Which do you want more, the gun or me, Commander-in-Chief?"
