Fierce Love: Bringing Wife Home
Chapter 219 - 152: Are You Leaving Too?

Chapter 219: Chapter 152: Are You Leaving Too?

On the third day, the notification indeed came down frantically.

Chen Zhigang looked at the notice in front of him, his complexion changing through red, orange, yellow, and green.

The contents of the notice were as follows:

In light of Gu Xiaoxi and Zhao Zilong defying military orders, acting on their own, and showing contempt for military regulations, committing a serious mistake. Therefore, without showing any remorse and considering their outstanding performance in this operation, it has been decided by the superiors to reassign them away from the Reconnaissance Company.

Three days later, Gu Xiaoxi and Zhao Zilong would take their transfer orders to the Military Dog Base to work as cleaners.

...

"Damn!" Gu Xiaoxi held the transfer order, and instantly it was as if thunder roared and lightning struck, leaving her scorched on the outside and tender within.

"Go to the military base to be a cleaner?" Zhao Zilong also couldn’t believe it, gripping the transfer order in his hand, completely baffled.

What kind of job is a cleaner?

Janitorial work for logistics?

Oh no!

The transfer order in Zhao Zilong’s hand was not held tightly and drifted under the desk with the wind.

Chen Zhigang glared at them, he had been nearly driven to a heart attack by his anger these days. Two good soldiers, and they end up relegated to sweeping floors.

In what lifetime would he encounter such unmatched talents again? They were geniuses bestowed by the heavens.

It was no use for him to feel the sting of disappointment now.

"Hey, wait! Why should I go clean up at the military base?" Gu Xiaoxi felt somewhat uneasy.

The last time she went to the Military Dog Base, she almost didn’t make it back.

That Champion Dog Feihu and she were natural enemies, utterly incompatible.

If she went there, wouldn’t it be chaos?

Could Gao Yitian allow her to stay there at all? Or perhaps, this was the punishment for her.

Gu Xiaoxi covered her face with her large palm, sitting on the stool opposite Chen Zhigang, her expression full of gloom.

"Regretting it now, huh! You’ve been doing thankless tasks. Why disobey military orders? Good soldiers relegated to cleaning duties, that’s enough..." Chen Zhigang pounded the table, clearly even more agitated than Gu Xiaoxi and Zhao Zilong, indignant and furious.

Especially seeing Gu Xiaoxi’s despondent look, he was incensed and couldn’t help but curse: "Serve you right for reaping what you sow!"

"Company commander, you seem more upset than me. It’s me who’s going to clean, not you!" Zhao Zilong picked up the transfer order with a smile and teased Chen Zhigang.

Chen Zhigang was not mentioned until those words came out. It triggered another round of scolding from him.

His explosive temper was completely out of control within minutes.

...

It took them a good while before they emerged from Chen Zhigang’s office.

Zhao Zilong, seeing Gu Xiaoxi’s expression wasn’t great, comforted her: "Don’t worry too much. The selection for the special forces is approaching. If worse comes to worst, we’ll endure it there for a while. Later, we’ll apply for the special forces together. If you’re gold, you’ll shine wherever you go."

Gu Xiaoxi sighed. It wasn’t the cleaning duty that worried her but the trouble that awaited her in the future.

After all, who asked her to mess around with Yeh Bai and provoke a nest of untouchable dog lords?

Now, as fate would have it, she was to serve in their territory. And if they bit her without warning, she would even have to go to the hospital for a rabies vaccine.

"Forget it! Let’s not deal with it for now." When the soldiers come, block them; when the water comes, cover it with soil.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately put the matter out of her mind and turned her head with a smile to Zhao Zilong, "Treat me to some crabs, and I’ll take you to the Military Dog Base to reign supreme."

"Gu Xiaoxi, are you running a fever? Our combat challenge can officially start now, right?" Zhao Zilong was speechless; this guy sure changed face fast. "First, beat me, then you can go elsewhere to reign supreme."

Gu Xiaoxi smirked, showing her big white teeth, then beckoned Zhao Zilong with a crooked finger, "Come here, I’ll whisper to you how I’m planning to defeat you."

Zhao Zilong clearly sensed her smile held malice.

But since it wasn’t the time for their challenge, he figured she couldn’t do much about it.

So, he lowered his head and leaned his ear closer, hoping to hear Gu Xiaoxi’s secret.

Little did he know, as soon as he lowered his head, he felt a pain at the back of his skull. Struck by someone’s heavy blow, he was sent reeling.

In the end, his eyes grew blurry and, seeing stars, he slowly fell to the ground.

As his eyes were about to close, he saw Gu Xiaoxi in front of him, raising her fist and chuckling.

"Our showdown has ended. I’ve defeated you!"

Zhao Zilong: "..."

And that’s supposed to count as a duel.

Gu Xiaoxi, where’s your honor?

...

When Zhao Zilong woke up, Luo Chen, Zhu Zheng, and the others were leaning over his bed, each staring at him with a pair of dark, wide eyes.

Touching the back of his very painful head, Zhao Zilong sat up in bed, still feeling a bit dizzy and in a state of short-circuit.

"Captain Zhao, you really fought a duel with Gu Xiaoxi? And she knocked you out?" Luo Chen cried out incredulously. How could this be possible? Zhao Zilong had always been inscrutably skilled; how could he have been defeated by a tiny woman without even two ounces of flesh on her?

It was so embarrassing.

"Who said she defeated me?" Zhao Zilong’s brows furrowed deeply, sensing some confusion in his memory. He couldn’t recall how he had passed out.

"The rumor is all over the place now, they say you battled it out outside the company commander’s office, and Gu Xiaoxi knocked you out with a single punch. Captain Zhao, you’re so cowardly!" Qian Jiangjiang wiped the tears from the corner of his eye, his heart shattered. The undefeated War God had actually lost to a little girl.

It took a while for Zhao Zilong to come to his senses after hearing Qian Jiangjiang’s words.

"Ah!" He suddenly sat up from the bed, fuming. "Gu Xiaoxi tricked me, she ambushed me. That’s why I was knocked out."

Damn! This woman was as annoying as ever. Low-down, sneaky, crafty! Could that even count as her defeating him? And to spread rumors everywhere, she had thicker skin than the corners of a city wall.

Just a few days ago, how could he have found her beautiful and adorable, so stunning he was lost for words...

Zhao Zilong covered his face, unable to speak for a long time. He thought he must have been bewitched a few days ago, getting played by Gu Xiaoxi, fooling around with her, breaking the rules, and getting punished to work as a janitor.

In the end, her punch had awakened him. He had finally seen her true colors once again.

At this moment, the hearts of the men who had admired Zhao Zilong in their dormitory were all shattered to pieces.

"Captain Zhao, you really were knocked out with one punch. You’re too cowardly."

"How could you lose? My heart hurts so much."

"..."

"I know I was deceived by her, otherwise I would never have lost," Zhao Zilong clenched his fist and immediately explained.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts were broken into smithereens! He had still lost.

Qian Jiangjiang, wiping away tears, said disdainfully, "Boss, not admitting defeat makes us feel even more embarrassed. You don’t have a shred of a man’s pride."

"Exactly"

"Exactly"

Zhao Zilong felt a lump in his throat and couldn’t speak for a long time.

Could he even defend himself with a single word?

Gu Xiaoxi, this grudge had grown deep! Zhao Zilong was full of rage at this point.

Gu Xiaoxi had been avoiding Zhao Zilong for the past day.

Anyway, everyone knew she had won the duel against Zhao Zilong. How exactly she won didn’t matter; people only cared about the outcome.

She felt quite satisfied with the result.

Before leaving the Military Dog Base, Gu Xiaoxi took Song Jingyi’s hand seriously and said, "Work hard. I hope you can overcome your psychological barriers. In a battlefield, if you don’t take action, it’s you who will die. If you don’t carry your gun, it’s your comrades who will be sacrificed. Song Jingyi, I’m leaving. From now on, you have to manage everything yourself, good luck."

Song Jingyi bit her lip, she had imagined they would part one day, but she never expected it to come so soon.

She was grateful for every day she’d met Gu Xiaoxi.

Without her, she wouldn’t have gotten Quan Shaoqing’s guidance and come to the army.

She wouldn’t have experienced so many new things that made her stronger.

"Xiao Xi, I will try my best. Wait for me, we’ll meet again," Song Jingyi said with tears in her eyes. She knew she and Gu Xiaoxi had an insurmountable gap, but she would never stop progressing.

"I’ll rest easy now that you said that," Gu Xiaoxi patted her on the shoulder.

Suddenly, Song Jingyi cried. The thing she wanted to do most in her life wasn’t to surpass Gu Xiaoxi or become a hero.

It was to hope that Gu Xiaoxi would be proud of her.

A thief also has her own helplessness and hardships. Although she was not old, she had walked a path much longer than any of her peers.

Seeing her sudden sadness, Gu Xiaoxi went over and gently hugged her. She patted her on the shoulder, "Why cry! Don’t forget, we are in the same troop, with the same beliefs. In the end, we will come together again."

"I know!" Song Jingyi’s eyes were red as she clenched her fingers. They had trained together for a year, slept together, did laundry together, and bathed together.

Gu Xiaoxi was her best friend. Now that she was leaving, naturally, she was reluctant to part.

While comforting Song Jingyi, Gu Xiaoxi was waiting for Zhao Zilong, ready to take a car to the Military Dog Base together.

Meanwhile, in the company commander’s office.

Shao Changfeng handed a document and a transfer order to Chen Zhigang and said, "I’m sorry, I might be leaving too."

Chen Zhigang, puzzled, took the transfer order and looked at it, his expression changing dramatically, "You’re leaving too?"
