"Huh?" Lan Yu was stunned: "I...I don't understand what you mean, Captain."
Chi Xia frowned: "When you introduced yourself this morning, didn't you say that you were brought to the base by Captain Zheng of the second team, and that he has always taken good care of you, even reluctant to let you go on missions? According to what you said, didn't you also rely on Captain Zheng to get to the base? Or did I hear you wrong?"
"I..." Lan Yu wanted to argue, but found that nothing she said seemed appropriate.
When she mentioned Zheng Zemin before, boasting about her good relationship with him, she was just trying to elevate her own status so that she wouldn't be looked down upon by others because of her low level of superpowers.
But she didn't expect that it would backfire and lead to this situation.
Now that things have come to this, anything he says will be wrong, so Lan Yu could only give an awkward smile: "Captain, you're right, I was overthinking it."
“You didn’t think too much about it.” Chi Xia said calmly, “You’re right, Zhang Xin is indeed very beautiful. Everyone loves beauty, so it’s normal for the men in the team to show her some favoritism. You should get used to it soon.”
One sentence left Lan Yu speechless: What does "getting used to breakfast" mean?
So, you mean she's ugly while Zhang Xin is beautiful, so it's normal that she doesn't get taken care of by men?
Zhang Xin is beautiful, but she's over thirty!
Can he even compare to a girl in her early twenties? Even if he could barely compare now, what about in a few years?!
What's the use of being pretty? She's still a wicked widow!
Lan Yu was angered by Chi Xia's words, but she dared not contradict Chi Xia, nor could she retort that Chi Xia was not bad-looking either. She could only let the anger fester in her chest.
She forced a smile: "The captain is right, we really should get used to it."
Upon hearing this, Chi Xia raised an eyebrow slightly, and with just one word, "we," she pulled her in as well.
"Yes. You're right." Chi Xia nodded with a smile. "We do need to get used to it. Is there anything else?"
"No...that's all. I won't bother you any longer, Captain. You should get some rest."
Chi Xia got up and saw Lan Yu out the door. Just as she closed the door, she saw Zhang Xin lying on the bed, trying not to laugh.
Chi Xia sat down by the bed and watched as she laughed so hard the bed shook. She sighed helplessly, "Is it that funny?"
“Of course it’s funny!” Zhang Xin lifted his head from under the covers: “An 1982 green tea met a top-notch tea master, and I could smell the aroma of the green tea being roasted.”
Chi Xia pursed her lips: "She can't even be considered a '82 green tea, she's just a newly picked one at most."
"That's why the tea has such a strong aroma." Zhang Xin sat up in bed. "Thinking back to what you said to her, 'You also got by relying on men,' it feels strangely satisfying. But speaking of which, am I really that beautiful?"
"You're beautiful, the most beautiful in the whole world." Looking at her vain expression, Chi Xia smiled and shook her head, then suddenly asked, "Do you know why dinosaurs went extinct?"
Zhang Xin was taken aback by her question: "Why?"
Chi Xia replied in a serious tone, "Because their forelimbs were too short to applaud your beauty, they all died sadly."
"Wow!"
Zhang Xin jumped up and said, "Sister Chi, it's such a pity you're not a man! You're so cool and sassy, plus that mouth of yours, which girl could escape your clutches? Let alone girls, you could even turn a normal man gay!"
Chi Xia rolled her eyes at her: "Alright, stop joking."
"Who's being sarcastic? Every word I said came from the bottom of my heart." Zhang Xin leaned closer to Chi Xia, looking curious. "Sister Chi, how did you learn to be so good at sweet talk from which man?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Xia stiffened slightly.
In the vast world, through countless days and nights, it seems she has only ever seduced one man and only ever spoken sweet words to one man.
Moreover, she eventually pushed the man into a pile of zombies herself.
