Chapter 166 - Decayed Eye Base
“You're quite cheerful today,” Hee Jingyan remarked, eyeing Loong Shen in the passenger seat with a smirk.
Despite his words, he playfully pinched Xu Yangyi's cheek, earning Xu Yangyi's disdainful glare and a swift slap of his hand. Nonetheless, Hee Jingyan wore a delighted expression, having honed himself into an unyielding force!
Seated behind Hee Jingyan, Xu Yangyi cursed inwardly, unleashing a string of expletives directed at Hee Jingyan.
Damn it, just say what you have to say! Why resort to physical antics? Are you out of your mind again?
En route back to the army with Loong Shen, Hee Jingyan, apprehensive of Zuo Bo's trust, had personally fetched Loong Shen. Yet, bored along the journey, he'd roused the still-slumbering Xu Yangyi.
“Really?” Wu Jingyi wiped away his smile, responding to Hee Jingyan's query. “This place is valued at three hundred taels of silver. If you're not up for a fight, concede.”
For so reason, he felt an overwhelming sense of elation. Zuo Bo's silence in response to his ssage oddly buoyed his spirits more than a reply ever could. He sensed Zuo Bo's amusent despite being unable to see it.
Ji Guangming, behind the wheel, mused, “The Second Lieutenant's unusually cheerful today!” It was a departure from the norm, sothing felt off! Hadn't the Second Lieutenant faced his archenemy, Warden Zuo Bo? Why the jubilation? Could he be having an affair?
Amused, Ji Guangming chuckled inwardly. It seed implausible, yet his expression darkened as he realized he'd grown sowhat lax since caring for Xu Yangyi.
True to form, the Colonel and Sister-in-law were influential! Could he also lose his manliness at this rate?
Concerns over his sexual orientation crept into Ji Guangming's thoughts. Yet, his worries were entirely warranted! Hee Jingyan showered Xu Yangyi with affection, providing daily doses of “dog food.” Witnessing Xu Yangyi's flustered reactions to Hee Jingyan's teasing only intensified Ji Guangming's own embarrassnt and racing heart.
However, people like Ji Guangming should be the ones teasing others! It was likely he'd never have the chance to bond with soone similar to himself in his lifeti.
“Ji Guangming…”
Just as Ji Guangming delved into his thoughts, Hee Jingyan's subdued voice snapped him back to reality. Startled, Ji Guangming jolted, his reflexive shout nearly deafening Xu Yangyi and Loong Shen.
“Apologies, apologies. I raised my voice unconsciously.” Ji Guangming recognized his lapse in composure and swiftly apologized. About to inquire if Hee Jingyan had any instructions, he inadvertently drove the car straight through the gate, startling the on-duty soldiers.
Upon regaining his senses, Ji Guangming was petrified, his mouth forming an “O” shape. He halted the car abruptly, trembling with fear, having narrowly avoided trouble by wandering into space.
