Jian Dan didn’t dare delay and went to the base the next day to find Xiao Ran, wanting to talk to her about the situation.
Xiao Ran had just returned from training and saw Jian Dan sitting on her bed like a little kid who had done sothing wrong...
If it were any other day, the cleanliness-obsessed Xiao Ran would have already kicked the person off her bed. But since it was Jian Dan, naturally it was different this ti.
"What’s with that expression? Who bullied you? Tell , and I’ll handle them for you!" Xiao Ran said as she sat on the bed and patted Jian Dan’s head.
"Xiao Ran, I’m sorry!" Jian Dan hugged Xiao Ran tightly, leaning against her shoulder as she spoke.
"What’s the matter with you now? And why the sudden whining over sothing trivial?"
"I told Mu Yi yesterday, but he told he already likes soone else. I’m really sorry!" Jian Dan quickly lowered her head.
"That’s all? I thought it was sothing serious! It’s just a guy, isn’t it? In this world, three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged n! With your unmatched qualities, there’s no way you can’t find a man! Just a little wave of your finger, and plenty of n will chase after you!"
"You’re not mad at ?"
"Why would I be mad at you? Matters of the heart don’t have right or wrong—there’s only liking and not liking!"
"Really?"
"Of course~" Xiao Ran casually placed her hand on the bed, accidentally touching sothing unusual. "Jian, you weren’t thinking of..." She picked up the thorny branch lying on the bed.
The entire Special Team burst out laughing.
"Jian, how could you be so adorable? You actually thought about imitating the old tradition of carrying a thorn branch to confess guilt? Hahaha! If you weren’t already married, I’d definitely pursue you!" Xing Can said with a laugh.
"Alright, stop teasing Jian.
Do you know about your friend’s situation?" Bai Yan chid in.
"What do you an? Is it Xiao Ting and Ouyang Jing?" Jian Dan imdiately jumped off the bed and asked nervously.
"It’s Ouyang Jing!"
"Ouyang Jing? What happened to him?"
"He betrayed the base, leaking classified information to the enemy. He’s currently on the run."
"That’s impossible!
You must be joking with , right? Could today happen to be April Fools’ Day or sothing?" Jian Dan said with a forced smile.
"It’s true!" Zhaozi, who rarely spoke, stepped in.
Only then did Jian Dan’s smile fade as she took note of the seriousness written on everyone’s face in the room.
"How could this be? Ouyang couldn’t possibly do such a thing—there’s no way!" Jian Dan still couldn’t bring herself to believe it.
"If you want to know the details, you should ask Yang Xiaoting—she’ll know."
Without a mont’s hesitation, Jian Dan went to find Xiao Ting.
She searched for a long ti before finally locating Xiao Ting under a secluded tree. When she found her, Xiao Ting was sitting beneath the tree, her face filled with lancholy...
"Xiao Ting~" Jian Dan called out softly.
Ever since the incident with Ouyang Jing, Xiao Ting hadn’t shed a single tear or uttered a single word. Every day, she just sat alone in a daze, not moving for hours.
But now, upon seeing Jian Dan, the emotions Xiao Ting had been suppressing could no longer be contained. Her tears burst forth like a flood as she threw herself into Jian Dan’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably, as if she were trying to cry out all the tears of her lifeti.
Jian Dan furrowed her brow and raised a hand to gently comfort Xiao Ting’s shoulder. Seeing Xiao Ting’s reaction, even though she had tried hard not to believe it, she had no choice but to accept that everything she’d just heard was true.
