Chapter 59: Blessing

“Oh my gosh, let me tell you, I really thought Jiang Xianchuan was super cool when he killed that giant zombie last time! That scene, tsk tsk tsk, totally husband material!” A beautiful woman said with a face full of adoration, unconsciously clenching her hands together in front of her chest.

Another woman next to her quickly nodded in agreement, “Yes, yes, that’s exactly what I thought too! His movements were so clean and efficient, he took care of that terrifying monster in one go, so amazing!”

The two women became more and more excited as they chatted. One of them suddenly guessed excitedly, “Hey, do you think Jiang Xianchuan might become the leader of our camp in the future? I feel like he always smiles at everyone, he’s really easy to get along with.”

Just then, Gu Huaishan happened to pass by them and heard this conversation. In fact, this was not the first time he had heard people discussing Jiang Xianchuan like this. Ever since Jiang Xianchuan single-handedly killed the giant zombie that everyone feared, similar praises had been endless.

Although Gu Huaishan didn’t show it on the surface, he couldn’t help but feel a trace of unease in his heart, a faint sense of dissatisfaction. Fortunately, Jiang Xianchuan himself didn’t seem to have any intention of vying for the position of leader, so Gu Huaishan had been pretending not to hear anything, silently hiding this emotion in his heart.

At the same time, on the other side, Zheng Jun was being questioned by Qi Xiaoyao with a serious expression: “Zheng Jun, how are those new recruits that I asked you to train doing now?”

Zheng Jun patted his chest and replied confidently, “Boss Qi, you can rest assured, there’s absolutely no problem! I guarantee they can all get started with their work as soon as possible.” It turned out that Zheng Jun had been working under Shi Yi before. He was quick, diligent, and practical. With Shi Yi’s recommendation, he was directly entrusted with this important task of training the new members who had joined the camp.

As soon as Qi Xiaoyao left, the honest and ingratiating expression on Zheng Jun’s face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a face full of disdain and arrogance.

He turned his gaze to the newcomers, his eyes revealing an arrogant attitude. Then, in a commanding tone, he said, “From today onwards, all of you must obey my orders! You must do whatever I tell you to do, without the slightest disobedience or questioning, understand?”

The newcomers looked at the person in front of them whose attitude changed as quickly as a Sichuan opera mask and couldn’t help but feel speechless. After all, they had just entered this unfamiliar environment, and faced with such a strong figure as Zheng Jun, they could only helplessly nod in agreement.

Since Zheng Jun became the leader of the team responsible for training the new recruits, the desires deep within his heart seemed to have been completely ignited. The original honest and dutiful him gradually changed. The taste of power made him indulge in it and unable to extricate himself.

Now, he was no longer satisfied with simply doing his job well, but was indulging in the pleasure of using his authority to suppress others.

In his opinion, everyone else should listen to him, obey him, and willingly work for him. Even Shi Yi, who had taken good care of him in the past, would sometimes be treated rudely by him.

However, whenever he faced someone with a higher status than himself, such as Qi Xiaoyao, Zheng Jun would immediately put on a different face.

He would become respectful, flattering, and do his best to please the other party, for fear of offending them in the slightest. This kind of opportunistic and bullying behavior made his colleagues increasingly disgusted and repulsed by him.

“Sigh…” With a long sigh, Gu Huaishan, as if sleepwalking, unknowingly walked to the training ground where Zheng Jun was training the new recruits. Zheng Jun was sharp-eyed and immediately spotted the camp leader. He hurriedly greeted him with a smile, “Oh, Camp Leader Gu! What brings you here? Do you have any important instructions?”

Gu Huaishan looked up at Zheng Jun and felt a strange sense of bewilderment. He recognized the person in front of him, wasn’t he the one that the patrol team had brought back? Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but frown, a trace of doubt in his eyes.

“Oh, I’ve been so troubled lately that my head is about to explode,” Gu Huaishan said with a bitter face.

As soon as Zheng Jun heard this, he immediately patted his chest and responded, “Camp Leader, if you trust me, you might as well tell me what’s going on. Maybe I can help you come up with an idea and solve your problems!”

However, Gu Huaishan simply shook his head and said nothing. Seeing this, Zheng Jun rolled his eyes and lowered his voice tentatively, “Could it be because some people in the camp want to nominate Jiang Xianchuan that kid to be the camp leader? Camp Leader, rest assured, I guarantee I have a way to prevent him from making any big waves!” After speaking, he stared intently at Gu Huaishan’s expression.

Gu Huaishan remained silent, but the expression on his face clearly softened. Zheng Jun knew that he had guessed correctly. So, he seized the opportunity and continued, “Camp Leader, although that kid always looks like he doesn’t care about the position of camp leader, who knows what he’s really thinking in his heart?”

These words were like a thorn, piercing straight into Gu Huaishan’s heart. The previously hesitant him finally couldn’t help but ask, “What’s your plan?”

Zheng Jun mysteriously leaned closer to Gu Huaishan’s ear and whispered something. Gu Huaishan’s face first showed a slight surprise, then blossomed into a brilliant smile, his laughter hearty and loud, “Hahahaha, not bad, not bad! Then I’ll leave this matter to you. If you can handle it well, the position of deputy camp leader will be yours!”

Hearing this, Zheng Jun was so excited that his face turned red and his chest puffed out. He replied loudly, “Okay! Camp Leader, you can rest assured! I guarantee I’ll complete the mission!”

On the other side, Jiang Xianchuan had been feeling very confused recently. For some reason, as soon as he left his house, a group of girls would stare at him intently, their eyes as if they wanted to see through him.

Not only that, but some bold girls would come up and ask him bewildering questions like whether he had a girlfriend.

What embarrassed him even more was that whenever he had relatively close physical contact with his friend Li Lingyu, he would always hear suppressed, tiny screams from the girls around him.

“What exactly is going on?” Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t figure it out. Helpless, he had to ask his good friend Shi Yi for help.

When Jiang Xianchuan and Li Lingyu appeared together in front of Shi Yi, Shi Yi couldn’t help but look them up and down. Seeing the two of them wearing clothes that were extremely similar in style and color, Shi Yi couldn’t help but smile slightly, but said, “Oh, I’m not too sure either.” After speaking, Shi Yi winked at Jiang Xianchuan, her expression seemingly hiding a secret.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back, suddenly, a girl with neat short hair rushed over and slapped him hard on the shoulder, urgently shouting, “Captain Jiang!”

Jiang Xianchuan was startled by this sudden action. After seeing who it was, a smile appeared on his face, because this short-haired girl was one of the team members he usually trained. He frowned slightly and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Do you have any questions or misunderstandings about today’s training?”

However, the short-haired girl quickly waved her hand and shook her head, answering very quickly, “No, no, Captain Jiang, I don’t have any questions about the training. Actually… actually, I have something I want to give to you and Captain Li.” As she spoke, she carefully handed a beautifully wrapped box in her hand to Jiang Xianchuan.

Jiang Xianchuan took the box and looked at it curiously. He saw that the outside of the box was wrapped with colorful ribbons, and it was also adorned with a few small and exquisite flowers, which looked very pretty. At this time, the short-haired girl said shyly, “This contains something I made myself, please don’t dislike it, Captain Jiang and Captain Li. I have been sincerely paying attention to you two, no matter what others say, I will firmly support you!” Before she finished speaking, she turned her head and ran away quickly, as if afraid of hearing anything else.

Looking at her departing back, Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t help but feel a burst of bewilderment, muttering to himself, “What exactly does this mean?” With a heart full of doubts, he gently opened the mysterious box.

As soon as the box was opened, a painting came into view – on the screen, it was him and Li Lingyu standing side by side. The brushstrokes were delicate and vivid, as if the tacit understanding and friendship between the two were vividly displayed.

“This painting is really beautiful! Isn’t it, Precious Yu?” Li Lingyu turned his head to look at the painting when he heard the words, his eyes revealing appreciation, and then he nodded lightly and responded, “Yes, it is indeed very beautiful.”

However, at this moment, his thoughts involuntarily drifted to the girl who painted the picture just now. Thinking of the lifelike picture under her pen, and looking at Jiang Xianchuan’s bewildered and ignorant appearance, he couldn’t help but find it funny. He muttered to himself: This guy didn’t even realize that he was being treated as a couple by others, his reaction is too slow.

Just then, the people around them, who were originally quiet, began to whisper to each other. Although the voices were small, they could still vaguely hear them talking about something.

After Li Lingyu keenly noticed this, he couldn’t help but feel a secret pleasure in his heart. He secretly glanced at Jiang Xianchuan out of the corner of his eye, only to see that the other party was still full of confusion, obviously not understanding the situation yet. Therefore, an imperceptible smile quietly climbed onto the corner of Li Lingyu’s mouth.

Just then, someone walked up quickly, smiled and patted Jiang Xianchuan on the shoulder and said, “Captain Jiang, seeing how close you and Captain Li are, I know that your relationship is indeed extraordinary!” Jiang Xianchuan felt even more inexplicable when he heard these words, and quickly waved his hand to explain, “Oh, don’t talk nonsense, we’re just friends.” But his words didn’t convince everyone. The team members looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and then turned and left.

Seeing this scene, Li Lingyu rolled his eyes and suddenly came up with an idea, wanting to take this opportunity to tease Jiang Xianchuan.

He swaggered over to Jiang Xianchuan’s side, and then deliberately moved his body closer to the other party, putting his mouth to Jiang Xianchuan’s ear and teasing in a low voice, “Chuan Chuan, look, everyone seems to be very optimistic about the two of us.”

After hearing Li Lingyu’s words, Jiang Xianchuan frowned tightly and asked suspiciously, “What do you mean by this?” His bright, starry eyes flickered with doubts and incomprehension, as if he wanted to see through the other party’s smile and see his true inner thoughts.

The corners of Li Lingyu’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he said softly, “It’s nothing.” However, his seemingly relaxed smile seemed a little mysterious, making it hard to figure out.

Jiang Xianchuan stared at Li Lingyu, his eyes as sharp as if they could penetrate the other party’s thoughts. For some reason, he had been feeling that this guy had ulterior motives and was definitely plotting some unspeakable conspiracy in secret since just now.

Just then, Li Lingyu reached out without warning and gently put his hand on Jiang Xianchuan’s shoulder. He saw that the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile, and he said softly, “Chuan Chuan, I think we might as well follow that girl’s idea, what do you think?”

Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t help but frown, asking suspiciously, “How do we follow it?” However, Li Lingyu deliberately whetted his appetite, selling off his wit, and replied with a smile, “That’s of course… Never mind, now is not the time to say it.”

This made Jiang Xianchuan anxious, and he quickly urged, “Oh! Tell me quickly!” But Li Lingyu remained unmoved, still pretending to be mysterious and shaking his head.

The two people argued with each other like this, sometimes pushing each other, sometimes teasing each other. The road was full of laughter and laughter, and they walked towards the way back in a playful manner.
