Chapter 248: 251 He fully respects her decision

Cong Han found Qin Shu’s remark quite amusing. "Eh, Captain Xiao Hua doesn’t like that officer, could it be... she likes you?"

Qin Shu glanced up and glared at Cong Han.

Cong Han did have a bit of a kick-a-man-while-he’s-down attitude, and he patted Qin Shu’s shoulder, coming closer.

"Don’t even think about the toad lusting after the swan’s flesh, and first consider if Captain Xiao Hua is going to come looking for you later and punish you for the mistakes in this mission."

"..."

Qin Shu pursed his lips.

He sighed, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the window. He saw Song Yangling and Feng Hua running onto the deck, immediately getting into a tussle with Lu Ziqing. Just who on earth is this Lu Ziqing...

He looked to be around thirty, yet he was already the Commander of a military region.

Xilin... what kind of place was that?

Song Yangling and Feng Hua were both only twenty-two this year, yet both were already senior noncommissioned officers.

In every mission they undertook, they were in no way inferior to the experienced combat veterans.

Especially Tang Xiaohua.

One year ago, when she had just joined the team, she became the vice-captain of the assault team. How many people were unsatisfied then? How could this young woman, slender as a reed, serve as the vice-captain of the "Osprey" assault team?

Yet, it was this woman who, with just one battle, made those who doubted her recognize her ability.

Later on, everyone found out that she had been an outstanding graduate in all subjects from the German Louis Military Academy.

That alone was indisputable.

Qin Shu leaned against the wall, his gaze falling on his injured leg, his eyes dimming.

...

Tang Xiaohua had decided to stay, and Lu Ziqing fully respected her decision.

Originally, he wanted to take Tang Xiaohua back with him because a position for an officer had opened up in the Xilin military forces, but of course... part of the reason was also personal.

He was just testing the waters, if Xiao Hua herself was unwilling, he certainly wouldn’t force her.

This way... was good, too...

Without her by his side, he would simply miss her, but with her by his side, not only would he miss her, he would think even more...

Having made a decision, he had no intention of staying on the warship any longer.

As night fell, Lu Tian dragged Lu Ziqing to have dinner, and Lu Ziqing hadn’t yet told Lu Tian his plans; he didn’t want to let that rascal gloat too soon!

Luo Haiyong was also there for the meal.

Luo Haiyong had once been an instructor for both Lu Tian and Lu Ziqing, their teacher-student bond laid bare, clearly adding pressure on him.

But during this meal, Luo Haiyong and Lu Tian didn’t dwell on Tang Xiaohua’s decision to stay, but simply reminisced with Lu Ziqing.

The three men were slightly tipsy, and then Lu Ziqing said,

"I’ll have a plane dispatched to send me away early tomorrow morning. Tang Xiaohua, she’s staying."

Luo Haiyong was surprised, Lu Tian even more so,

"You... how can you bear to let her go?"

"The two of you, one a bandit, the other a robber, how can I compete?"

"Ah... hahaha! Hahaha!"

Lu Tian and Luo Haiyong exchanged glances, then burst into laughter.

"Don’t tell me, you’re planning to give her back to me."

Lu Ziqing eyed them both, incredulous as he continued to eat.

Lu Tian hastily gestured with his hands, "No, no... it’s just that I find Ziqing is still the same as before!"

"You’re not as straightforward as you used to be."

Lu Tian laughed, "Haha, that makes things much easier."

"Easier for what?"

Lu Ziqing raised an eyebrow, always feeling that Lu Tian’s laugh had something sly about it.

"That would involve military secrets, Ziqing, better not to ask too much."

Lu Ziqing looked sideways at him, but Lu Tian wasn’t bothered; since dinner started, Lu Ziqing hadn’t even given him a proper glance.
