35,000 nutrient solution bonus chapter: This rabbit looks just like my sister-in-law...
Chapter 131
Meng Yingying breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
She knew that with those words, bringing Gu Xiaotang to Harbin this time was the right decision.
For someone who is determined to die, this is truly the highest praise.
"If you like it here, then stay a few more days."
Meng Yingying said softly, "Xiao Tang, you don't have to do anything special in this life. As long as you live happily, that's enough."
To live a happy and fulfilling life is the best way to live.
Gu Xiaotang lowered her eyes and thought for a while before nodding. Meng Yingying took her hand, "Let's go, let's go see how many they caught."
Watching the two of them walk forward hand in hand, Ye Yingtao whispered to Lin Qiu, "Ever since Gu Xiaotang came, Yingying's eyes have been on Gu Xiaotang. She doesn't even pay attention to us anymore."
During the last collection, Meng Yingying took her with her wherever she went.
This time, it's Gu Xiaotang's turn.
"Alright, alright, stop being jealous." Lin Qiu was quite open-minded. "Xiao Tang's situation is special. If she weren't sick, she wouldn't have come to our performing arts troupe this time."
"It's fine as it is now."
"I do hope that if Meng Yingying can take better care of her, it would be good if Gu Xiaotang could get through this."
At this point, Lin Qiu stared at Gu Xiaotang's back and said, "Cherry, haven't you noticed? Many times in the dormitory, Gu Xiaotang is like a ghost. I'm scared when I look into her eyes."
Those were lifeless eyes; everything they saw appeared dull and lifeless.
Even now.
Lin Qiu whispered, "Now I feel like Gu Xiaotang is a real person."
This isn't an insult; it's reality.
Ye Yingtao hummed in agreement, and after a while she said, "Then I'll let Yingying go to her for now."
Lin Qiu smiled and took her hand. "Let's go, I'll stay with you."
No sooner had he said that than Xu Wenjun strolled over, carrying two frozen pears in her hand.
It's quite remarkable that he managed to find this kind of weather, where the mountains are blocked by heavy snow.
"Comrade Ye, please keep this frozen pear."
Ye Yingtao refused, but Xu Wenjun, who had come prepared, shoved the item into her hand and turned to leave.
This made it impossible for Ye Yingtao to catch up, and she didn't know how many Xu Wenjun had given her, but Ye Yingtao was given two in her hands.
"I think Instructor Xu is really good. Even if he picks up a piece of dog poop outside, he will bring it to you."
Ye Yingtao glared at Lin Qiu, "Speak properly."
Looking at the frozen pears, she felt a mix of emotions. She stuffed one into Lin Qiu's hand, saying, "Even eating you won't shut you up."
Lin Qiu smiled with her lips pursed, not minding the cold. She wiped the pear and took a bite. The pear had been frozen on the tree for too long, so much so that it had turned into an ice cube. When she took a bite, goodness, she almost broke her teeth.
"It hurts so much, I'm not eating it anymore. I'll take it back to my dorm and let it warm up before eating it."
Meng Yingying had also been separated into two, which Gao Chunyang found. He searched everywhere in the mountains and unexpectedly found a pear tree. No one had picked the pears, so they were still growing on the tree. After a heavy snowfall, the pears on the branches all turned into frozen pears.
Harbin has no fruit in winter, so frozen pears are a rare treat.
Gao Chunyang discovered it, and Qi Donghan, Zhou Jingsong, Xu Wenjun and a few others went up to pick it.
There were only about twenty in total. Gao Chunyang got six, and the rest were divided among the rest of the group.
Qi Donghan took five, Zhou Jingsong took five, and Xu Wenjun, being a bachelor, gave two of his three to Ye Yingtao, keeping one for himself.
Gao Chunyang even mocked him, saying, "You might as well be like me and eat it all yourself."
Xu Wenjun retorted sarcastically, "I have people to deliver things to me. You might want to, but can you even deliver them?"
As soon as he said that, Gao Chunyang's expression changed instantly. Xu Wenjun also realized that he had said the wrong thing. He immediately regretted it, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize.
Chen Shuisheng stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright, Gao Chunyang, you were the one who ridiculed Xu Wenjun first, so you two are even now."
Gao Chunyang then gave up, and as he left, he glanced discreetly in Meng Yingying's direction.
Qi Donghan got five frozen pears and went to find her. Meng Yingying received the frozen pears, her face beaming as she spoke to him.
Gao Chunyang's face was somewhat gloomy. Chen Shuisheng came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, you're married now."
"Didn't you notice that Commander Qi and Comrade Meng are much closer this time?"
Although they were close before, there was still a distance between them, like that between newlyweds.
But this time, during the mission, the two were all lovey-dovey, and something had clearly changed.
To put it bluntly, Meng Yingying is Qi Donghan's woman.
Gao Chunyang's face instantly darkened, and the frozen pear he was holding was almost deformed from his grip.
Seeing his expression, Chen Shuisheng knew that he hadn't given up yet. "Gao Chunyang, I've always thought you were a smart person, at least smarter than Qi Changming. Don't ruin your future because of something like this."
Gao Chunyang lowered his head and didn't speak. His once sunny disposition, with a bright white smile, now carried a shadow of gloom when he wasn't smiling.
For quite a while.
Just when Chen Shuisheng thought he wouldn't speak, Gao Chunyang suddenly asked, "Do you think they will get a divorce?"
Chen Shuisheng, who was drinking water, choked and spat out his mouthful of water when he heard this. "What did you say?"
Do you think they will get a divorce?
Gao Chunyang turned his head and looked in the direction of Meng Yingying. She stood under the snow-covered tree, with beautiful features, red lips and white teeth.
Qi Donghan said something that made her eyes crinkle and her smile bloom like a flower.
It's really beautiful.
Actually, it wasn't just Qi Donghan who fell in love with Meng Yingying when they first met.
Gao Chunyang is one of them.
However, Gao Chunyang couldn't get past the hurdle of Meng Yingying being Qi Changming's fiancée, so he was a step too slow.
Qi Donghan then made his move.
This has always been Gao Chunyang's biggest regret, if only he had been as decisive as Qi Donghan back then.
Could it be that he would be the one to marry Meng Yingying?
Gao Chunyang didn't know that he had already missed it once, and he didn't want to miss it a second time.
That's why this question came about.
Chen Shuisheng stared at him. Gao Chunyang's face was whiter than snow. He murmured, "Gao Chunyang, you've really gone mad."
Gao Chunyang: "I won't ruin a military marriage, I'll just wait."
"Do I, as a mistress, have a chance?"
Chen Shuisheng, "..."
Chen Shuisheng didn't want to talk to him, so she took a deep breath and said, "You're a mistress for love?"
"Don't you even consider whether Meng Yingying would even be interested in you?" He pinched Gao Chunyang's face. "Tell me yourself, are you as good-looking as Commander Qi?"
Although Commander Qi was known for his stern face, it was undeniable that he had a handsome and dashing face, in addition to his height of 1.9 meters.
Everyone who has met him is amazed.
Gao Chunyang refused to give up, "I just don't believe that Commander Qi is incapable of making mistakes."
He will take advantage of any mistakes he makes.
Chen Shuisheng, "Do you dare let Commander Qi hear you say that?"
Gao Chunyang fell silent. Chen Shuisheng sneered, "Gao Chunyang, why don't you find someone else you like? You could get anyone else, so why are you stuck on this one?"
Gao Chunyang also wanted to change, but he couldn't control his feelings.
"Could you give the frozen pear to Meng Yingying for me?"
He handed the frozen pear to Chen Shuisheng, hoping to get Chen Shuisheng's help, but Chen Shuisheng refused, saying, "If you want me to die, just say so. I don't want to."
"Go ahead, I'll help you."
"Just give it away."
Chen Shuisheng's eyes darted around, annoyed by him, and he turned and took it. On his way to give it to Meng Yingying, he bumped into Lin Qiu and Ye Yingtao.
Lin Qiu's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the huge bunch of frozen pears in Chen Shuisheng's hand.
Chen Shuisheng paused for a moment, "Want it?"
Lin Qiu gave a hesitant "hmm," but knowing she wasn't familiar with the other person and it was impossible for her to get what she wanted, she shook her head, "Never mind, I'll just take a look."
For foodies, being able to look but not eat is the greatest pain.
Chen Shuisheng noticed something and handed it over, saying, "Here you go."
"ah?"
Lin Qiu was stunned.
Chen Shuisheng shoved all five frozen pears into her arms and said, "Here you go."
He turned and left decisively.
Lin Qiu stood there, still a little dazed after receiving five frozen pears for free. Looking at Chen Shuisheng's slender back, she turned back to Ye Yingtao and said, "Yingtao, I've met a good person."
Ye Yingtao stared at the five frozen pears, lost in thought.
Do you think Chen Shuisheng likes you?
To say he liked her was one thing, but when Chen Shuisheng gave her his affection, he was too decisive, showing no lingering affection for Lin Qiu whatsoever.
This made Ye Yingtao subconsciously deny it, "He doesn't seem to like it either, so why did he give you such a frozen pear?"
Lin Qiu was delighted. "What a kind person!"
"I already told him he's a good person."
I got five frozen pears for free! I can eat one a day for five days straight. You know, there's practically no fruit available in Harbin during winter.
Frozen pears are a rare treat.
When Gao Chunyang saw Chen Shuisheng give the frozen pear to Lin Qiu, he was furious. "Chen Shuisheng, I told you to give the frozen pear to Meng Yingying!"
He lowered his voice, afraid that Qi Donghan would hear him.
Chen Shuisheng punched him away, "Why aren't you making a sound? Are you scared?"
He looked at Gao Chunyang coldly, "You should be glad I gave the frozen pears to someone else, otherwise it wouldn't be me coming over here, it would be Commander Qi."
"How long do you think your skills can hold out against Commander Qi?"
"Gao Chunyang." This was Chen Shuisheng's last warning. "Qi Changming ruined himself. If you continue like this, you'll be the one ruined next."
"Think it through."
He turned to go hunting, his tall figure still visible even in his cotton-padded coat, his slender frame impossible to conceal.
Of all these people, Chen Shuisheng was the thinnest.
Gao Chunyang didn't say anything. He punched the tree in a fit of rage, causing the snow on the tree to fall in a rustling sound.
Even Meng Yingying, who was not far away, heard the commotion. She subconsciously turned around and looked back. "What happened to Gao Chunyang?"
Qi Donghan remained unfazed. "He goes crazy every time he goes on a mission. Let's go. Didn't you want to see how many wild animals are in the trap?"
"I'll take you to see it."
Meng Yingying's attention was immediately diverted, while Qi Donghan turned around and glanced at Gao Chunyang discreetly.
Gao Chunyang froze on the spot.
A rabbit and a pheasant got into the trap, which is not bad. You know, they have more than a dozen traps like this.
If you can catch every trap, you'll have meat to eat during the New Year.
Hunting prey is actually a very boring thing.
It requires a lot of patience, otherwise it's easy to scare away small animals. Meng Yingying didn't actually like this kind of work, and she ran away after watching for a while because she lost patience.
But it's not time to leave yet.
She then asked Qi Donghan to get her a tree branch with a pointed, curved tip, and she didn't do anything else.
She would stick a branch into a tree hole and poke it around, just for fun, so that everyone else wouldn't be busy while she was idle.
Her poke caused a series of squeaking and groaning sounds to erupt from inside.
Meng Yingying was startled and threw the branch away. Then she realized something was wrong and used the branch to block the doorway.
You can't stop a bunch of rabbits inside; they just run out in a chaotic mess.
This is all meat, all meat.
Meng Yingying couldn't bear to let these rabbits escape. In her desperation, she tried anything, so she sat down at the entrance of the tree hole to block the way and shouted, "Qi Donghan!"
Qi Donghan was already worried about her, and when he heard her shout, he immediately took off running and arrived in front of her in just a few seconds.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Yingying was on the verge of collapse. Two rabbits had escaped, and several others were scratching her back desperately. Luckily, she was wearing thick clothes, otherwise her cotton coat would have been torn to shreds.
"You might not believe it, but the tree hole behind me is full of rabbits."
"Call for help to arrest them."
"As soon as I moved, they all ran away."
Qi Donghan's expression changed instantly. He reacted immediately and waved his hand to summon Xu Wenjun, Chen Shuisheng, and Liu Mang.
Gao Chunyang, who was lagging behind, was worried about Meng Yingying, so he followed along.
As soon as they arrived, Qi Donghan said, "Surround Yingying. There's a rabbit burrow behind Yingying. When she comes up, the rabbits will come out."
As soon as he said this, Xu Wenjun and Chen Shuisheng's eyes lit up, as did Liu Mang's.
Gao Chunyang's attention wasn't on the rabbit, but on Meng Yingying. Looking closer, he noticed how pale her face was, but he wondered if the rabbit behind her had hurt him.
Thinking of this, Gao Chunyang became more eager and joined the team.
The five men perfectly surrounded Meng Yingying.
"Get up, get up slowly, and let it out little by little."
Meng Yingying hummed in agreement, shifted her bottom, and a rabbit darted out with a plop, only to bump right into Qi Donghan's hand.
"good!"
Xu Wenjun almost shouted excitedly, "Comrade Meng, release one more!"
Meng Yingying hummed in agreement, then shifted her bottom slightly, and *plop*—another rabbit scurried out.
By the third time, she had shifted her hips and waist a bit, and with a series of "plop plop" sounds, two gray rabbits ran out.
Chen Shuisheng and Liu Mang frantically tried to grab it.
After finally catching it, the two of them held the rabbit by its ears. The rabbit had been overwintering in the tree hole and was extremely fat.
It's quite heavy when you carry it in your hand.
Is there anything else?
Qi Donghan asked a question.
Meng Yingying nodded, and after carefully sensing the area, she said, "It seems there are two more."
My back is a little itchy and I keep scratching it.
Qi Donghan told them to hand over all the rabbits they were holding so that others could watch them while they could free up their hands to catch them.
"Come on, put it out."
Meng Yingying hummed in agreement and stood up this time. The rabbit popped out from under her bottom with a whoosh.
Liu Mang exclaimed in shock, "This rabbit looks like it was born by my sister-in-law herself!"
