Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 847: Chapter 847: I Despise Associating with You

Xin Ni saw Cheng Yu leaving and quickly stepped forward to block her way. ”Don’t go! You can think it over! Proposing a trade with you isn’t some nonsensical ravings without reason.”

Cheng Yu slightly raised her chin.

”They say city people are proud, and that’s especially true for those from the big cities, so full of arrogance!” Xin Ni said with a smile as she criticized Cheng Yu, before steering the topic back to the trade. ”You want to get close to that man, but as it stands, you can’t even get into the military base on your own. Without access to the base, there’s nothing to talk about.”

”What does this have to do with you?” Cheng Yu frowned, her face showing disgust for the first time. She hated it when others guessed her thoughts and disliked even more when someone used threats to engage in so-called trades with her.

”You... Didn’t you understand what I’ve been saying?” Xin Ni thought her plan was pretty good, An Hao had taken care of her, then she could make a deal with Cheng Yu to deal with An Hao.

But this woman in front of her, arrogantly unbecoming, surprisingly wouldn’t agree.

So stupid!

”I! I disdain to associate with you!” Cheng Yu coldly finished speaking, raised her hand to push aside Xin Ni who was blocking the way, and left with her head held high.

”Pah!” Xin Ni, failing to achieve her goal, spat on the ground. ”Both of us are after someone else’s man; do you think you’re so much nobler than me!!”

Having said that, Xin Ni left, swaying her hips exaggeratedly.

........................

Riding back from the clinic, it had already gotten dark.

An Hao felt utterly exhausted, finding this day more tiring than a day at school. With a responsibility for her patients’ lives, she had been both careful and serious in diagnosing and treating them.

An Hao took out her keys, went upstairs, and opened the door, only to be stunned by what she saw.

In the living space of less than eighty square meters, there were no less than ten little warriors, one of whom was Li Zecheng from downstairs. Seeing An Hao return, the warriors all stood up at once, saluting her and shouting in unison, ”Sister-in-law, welcome back! Hard work today at your job!”

The grand welcome made An Hao feel awkward and embarrassed as if she were receiving a high-ranking officer. ”Hello, everyone... please, sit down.”

”Sister-in-law, please!”

”Sister-in-law, sit!”

”Sister-in-law, have some water.”

”Are you hot, Sister-in-law? I’ll fan you!”

The young warriors’ enthusiasm almost set An Hao ablaze. It was embarrassing and also somewhat baffling — what on earth was going on here?

Li Zecheng saw An Hao’s puzzled look and scratched his head sheepishly as he explained, ”It’s like this, sis-in-law, I am really sorry! It’s my fault, I said that the food at your home is a hundred times tastier than the cafeteria’s, and these guys all came over to freeload a meal.”

”Oh~ Now I get it!” An Hao laughed. ”This reception did give me quite a scare. Since that’s the case, I’ll go and cook for everyone.”

An Hao stood up and went around the kitchen, but she didn’t see Qin Jian anywhere, only two buckets full of fish and shrimp.

”Where is our Qin Jian?” An Hao stuck her head out from the kitchen, puzzled by Qin Jian’s absence.

”Brother Qin went downstairs,” said Li Zecheng. ”He mentioned there was a package coming from the Northern Military Region.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened, and Qin Jian returned with the package.

Instantly, a group of warriors crowded around him. ”Chief of Staff, open it up! Let’s see what good stuff you’ve got!”
