Chapter 413: Chapter 439: Quickly Settled
Yan Kai started pursuing Qian Xiaoshuang. When he got enthusiastic, it was crazy—he’d wait outside her
workplace every day to pick her up after work and occasionally give her stasty treats the unit provided.
Of course, Qian Xiaoshuang didn’t want them, but no matter how cold she was, he always wore a smile and
followed her, maintaining a respectful distance.
Yan Kai was naturally witty and eloquent. Initially, Qian Xiaoshuang ignored him, but over time, she'd
occasionally exchange a few words. Overall, she still treated him coldly, feeling awkward, as she’d never noticed
his penchant for being cheeky at work before.
On this day, their unit was holding a summary and commendation meeting about flood relief work, and Qian
Xiaoshuang went along to do an interview.
Yan Kai and Gu Junming both received commendations for their achievements. Their unit earned a third-class
merit, and Gu Junming individually received a second-class merit for rescuing people.
Liao Dongyuan, who was responsible for logistics support, was collectively awarded a second-class merit for
transferring grain from a large warehouse with his men under life-threatening conditions. Yang Zhen was very
excited. Though she couldn't go, she sent two boxes of fruit for everyone to share.
The soldiers in the audience cheered and applauded when they saw those on stage receiving awards and were
very happy.
Qian Xiaoshuang saw Yan Kai on stage in his military uniform, saluting solemnly and took a few photos sneakily.
He did look quite handsome.
With so many awarded, everyone was naturally happy.
Yet, only one person outwardly smiled but was inwardly seething with anger, feeling very upset. His fists
clenched tightly.
This person was Liu Gang. He felt very wronged: Everyone battled on the front lines for days, and my hardships
were no less. Why was | the only one without a reward?
Actually, the superior spoke to him yesterday, saying he was too eager for success, disregarded objective
circumstances, leading to many soldiers getting injured. Though he worked hard, his merits and faults canceled
out, and not punishing him was already considerate.
Liu Gang was full of resentment! | persisted on the dam for over twenty hours, and it amounted to nothing! Was
all my effort for nothing? In peacetime, it's so hard to earn merits. If | don’t seize the opportunity now, can | go to
a good unit in the future?
I don’t have a good background or family; all I hope for is to struggle for recognition, right?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhether it’s Yan Kai or Gu Junming, they both cfrom families with backgrounds, making them stronger than
me, a person from the countryside. Heh, what they say sounds noble, but isn’t it just leveraging connections? No
matter how much | contribute, it’s in vain! Who toldmy family status is lacking? Liu Gang felt increasingly
unsettled, with nowhere to vent his fury.
But now things are like this; what can he do? He could only clap along.
After the commendation meeting, a foreign spy movie was shown in the venue. It was very engaging, featuring
the most advanced weapons and communication tools, allowing everyone to learn a lot. Everyone watched
intently.
Ten minutes into the film, Yan Kai saw Qian Xiaoshuang heading out with her camera. With her gone, he couldn't
focus and quietly told Gu Junming, "I have something to do, I'm leaving first. If the leaders notice, cover for me."
"What are you up to? Weren't you wanting to watch this all along?" Gu Junming frowned.
"I can rent the VHS at home; don’t worry. I'm going to find Qian Xiaoshuang. I'm worried she'd be too lonely
walking by herself; what if she’s scared?"
Gu Junming kicked him: "What's there to be scared of in broad daylight?"
"Boss, please let me? You've got a wife, and I'm still single!" Yan Kai lamented.
"Alright, alright, just go. You're annoying to watch!" Gu Junming waved his hand; this fellow had nothing on his
mind except Qian Xiaoshuang these days. Yan Kai quickly thanked him and left with a smile.
When Qian Xiaoshuang went out, she checked her watch; it wasn’t too late. She planned to go to the market and
then return to write her article. Habitually, she looked behind her; no one was there, so she pursed her lips.
Didn't he say he’d always treatwell?
It’s only been a few days that | ignored him, and he doesn’t follow anymore. Does he think he’s someone special
after earning merits?
After walking a few steps, she heard someone behind her say, "The camera is heavy; letcarry it for you."
Yan Kai swiftly grabbed her camera.
Qian Xiaoshuang was startled: "How did you get here? | clearly didn’t see you!"
"Have you been always looking for me? Missingso much?" Yan Kai grinned.
Qian Xiaoshuang blushed and scoffed, "Because you always follow me, | got used to it. Alright, | have work to do;
don’t follow me." She reached out to grab her camera.
Yan Kai dodged and kept pace with her, "No way, I'm not letting you walk alone. I'll escort you."
"No need, I'm not a kid!"
Yan Kai remained silent and continued following her. Qian Xiaoshuang was helpless; this guy was truly cheeky.
"You treat other girls the sway?"
"Yeah, as soon as | see a girl, my legs freeze, wanting to cling to her every day."
Qian Xiaoshuang bit her lip without speaking, her eyes glinting coldly. Is this guy a flirt?

like this anymore. How about this?
"So you mean, put in a lot of effort while pursuing, but slack off once you catch me?"
"Exactly! Who keeps feeding the fish after catching it? By then, I'll be particularly cold to you and see what you
do."
Qian Xiaoshuang was speechless, glaring at Yan Kai fiercely. Then, they both couldn't help but laugh.
"I'll treat you well all my life, don’t worry," Yan Kai said, trying to grab her hand.
Qian Xiaoshuang moved aside, "My hands are too rough now. Let's wait for a few days."
This was true. During flood relief, her hands got calloused from handling sandbags, and they hadn't healed yet.

chuckled.
