Chapter 1350: Chapter 1351: Give Some Face...

Later, a male soldier arrived;

Later, Lie Qi arrived.

Later, Baoqin and Shi Hua arrived together.

Later, two more male soldiers arrived.

Later, Ting Shu arrived.

Later, three more male soldiers arrived.

Which means, only two male soldiers and Liu Feifei have yet to arrive.

The female soldiers’ performance is clearly better than the male soldiers’; even if Liu Feifei arrives later than the remaining two male soldiers, as long as Liu Feifei finishes within the given time frame, the female soldiers will win.

At this moment, at the finish line, the male soldiers— including the officers like Liu Buli— were feeling utterly humiliated.

Initially, they thought they would win easily, but now it seems the outcome isn’t so certain.

They had not only overestimated themselves but also underestimated the female soldiers.

Now, their only hope was that Liu Feifei would fail to arrive within the stipulated time. That way, even if their victory wasn’t impressive, they would still win and preserve some dignity.

The male soldiers were feeling anxious at this moment, but so were the female soldiers. Tobanya, however, didn’t show it much; she sat there calmly and coldly as usual. Du Aya, on the other hand, couldn’t bear the tension, walking over to the finish line. She paced back and forth while looking around, hoping Liu Feifei would arrive soon.

After all, time was running out.

And Du Aya wasn’t the only one pacing; Qi Tengfei was also pacing back and forth at the finish line, visibly distressed, afraid the male soldiers might lose, which would bring shame to him as well.

Xu Shangong stood there with a solemn expression. Watching Qi Tengfei and Du Aya pacing back and forth in sync, coupled with the fact that both were tall with thick brows and large eyes, he couldn’t help but laugh, ”Old Qi, look at you and Miss Du. People who don’t know might think you two are father and child.”

If someone didn’t know Du Aya was a woman, they really might mistake the two as father and child.

Xu Shangong wasn’t joking; his words were sincere and without malice.

Qi Tengfei only then realized that Du Aya was acting similar to him, and he immediately laughed with his booming voice, ”Good girl, you’re just like the Commandery Princess and my son— outstanding! Your physique is truly exceptional. I’ve always wanted a daughter like you, but it’s a pity my wife could only give me four sons and didn’t have a daughter. How about you become my goddaughter?”

Du Aya hadn’t expected Qi Tengfei to say something like that and didn’t quite know how to respond. She instinctively glanced at her instructor, An Jing.

But before An Jing could speak, Qi Tengfei misunderstood and, with his booming voice, continued, ”Girl, are you unwilling to be my goddaughter? Well, that’s fine too! How about becoming my daughter-in-law instead? I have four sons, none of whom are married yet. Take a look, pick one you fancy.”

No one noticed that Qi Gaoda’s face, which had previously calmed down a little, quietly reddened even more.

”See,” Qi Tengfei pointed to Qi Gaoda, ”That’s my oldest son.” Then he pointed at Qi Weimeng, ”That’s my second son. But my second son is just too short; he’s not worthy of you. Better to choose between my eldest, third, or fourth sons.”

Qi Weimeng: ”...” Dad, can you stop calling me short? I’m still your son, give me some dignity...

Qi Tengfei ignored Qi Weimeng’s feelings and continued, ”My third and fourth sons, like my eldest, are also tall and burly. Standing next to you, they’d definitely look like a perfect match. They’re not here now, but I’ll introduce you to them later.”
