Chapter 365 A Clever Trick Backfires: The Cold Angel
Chapter 365 A Clever Trick Backfires: The Cold Angel
……
Night had fallen at the military base in that small town nestled in the woods.
Qilin was sitting alone on a bench next to a street lamp.
She seemed a little down, and didn't even want to lift her head while sitting in the chair.
Moreover, her eyes were red, indicating that she had been crying for a long time.
Yes, ever since she learned that her husband had been captured by the enemy that afternoon, she hasn't had a moment without heartache.
What pained her was not only Xiao Chen's accident, but also the inaction of Chief Lian Feng and the Super Soldier Company.
Although she also felt that her husband's mentors would certainly not stand idly by.
But she couldn't suppress her disappointment.
Indeed, war should be calculated and its advantages and disadvantages should be weighed.
But at least you shouldn't try to hide the truth, right?
As his wife and family member, why didn't she tell him about his accident?
So she is now genuinely disappointed in those people.
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from not far away.
Under the dim streetlights, a long shadow stretched out.
Qi Lin naturally noticed this situation and glanced at it from the side.
Seeing that the person who came was not He Weilan, she decisively withdrew her gaze.
That's right, the one walking towards Qi Lin is Angel Leng.
Leng made no attempt to hide anything and walked straight to Qi Lin's side, even sitting down on the bench with "her".
When Qilin knew that the angel had sat down, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Don't worry, I've asked his two masters, and they said they've already sent Carlos to rescue them. He should be back soon."
Seeing that Qi Lin's eyes were red, Leng had no choice but to comfort her.
However, since this was the first time she had comforted someone during her angelic career, she felt a little awkward.
"Um"
Qilin didn't want to talk to this angel.
But as the old saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face, so they came specifically to comfort her.
She couldn't very well pretend she couldn't hear him.
Seeing that Qi Lin didn't seem to want to talk to her, Leng didn't say anything more.
She sat there beside "her," gazing absently at the distant nightscape.
Without a doubt, Leng Rushi definitely wanted to use his accident to get closer to Qi Lin, his "older sister".
Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked being "shot" to stay by "her" side.
She also understood that if she wanted to enter his home, she would definitely need Qilin's permission.
Now is the time when Qi Lin is heartbroken and sad, shouldn't she take this opportunity to use some tricks?
Of course, this doesn't mean she wasn't worried about his safety.
But she also knew that worrying was useless.
Besides, his scoundrel master has already gone to rescue people, so she believes he will definitely be alright.
So now she wants to focus her attention on Qilin, instead of wasting time on useless melancholy and sadness.
After a while, seeing that the angel didn't intend to leave, Qilin got up to leave.
She had no choice; she really didn't want to see this culprit who was trying to destroy the harmony of her family.
If her mind wasn't entirely focused on her husband, how could she possibly sit with "her" for more than ten minutes?
"Qilin, wait a minute."
Seeing Qi Lin get up, he coldly called out to her.
Qi Lin didn't respond, but just glanced at her.
"Qilin, I have something I want to talk to you about."
Leng didn't care that Qi Lin was silent; he simply got up from the bench and looked directly at her.
However, it's not hard to tell from the expression on her face that she seems to have made up her mind about something.
"Say"
Qi Lin didn't give Leng a friendly look; instead, her brows furrowed even more.
You probably already know about me and him, right?
As he spoke, Leng rubbed his fingers together, looking somewhat nervous.
"..."
Qi Lin didn't speak, and even turned her head away, no longer looking at "her".
But she didn't immediately walk away.
She just didn't want to look at that face she hated anymore.
"I didn't mean to take it from you, don't overthink it."
Seeing that Qi Lin turned her head away from her, Leng had no choice but to take the initiative to express her stance.
She wanted to prove that she had no ill intentions in coming here.
"Then don't bother him, and definitely don't threaten him with that kind of thing."
After saying that, Qi Lin turned her head and glanced at Leng.
It was clearly dissatisfaction with this cunning, scheming, and utterly despicable angel.
"He even told you this?"
Although Qi Lin glared at him, Leng was not angry at all; in fact, a smile appeared on his face.
"..."
Seeing the angel's smiling face, Qilin felt very annoyed and turned her head away from "her".
"I was just teasing him. There's no video at all. You all believed me? Hahaha."
Leng didn't care about Qilin's attitude at all, and even covered her mouth and laughed as she spoke.
"..."
Hearing the angel laugh so happily, Qi Lin didn't know what to feel.
Logically, she should be happy right now.
Because her husband doesn't have to worry about losing his reputation.
But now that he has been captured by the enemy, this so-called good news has no chance to make her happy.
"I've thought a lot about this these past few days, and since he's not here today, I wanted to tell you that I... I'm not going to argue with you anymore."
Leng was obviously not telling the truth.
She was planning to retreat in order to gain Qilin's favor first.
She, the angelic Leng, would never give up on her idol.
I'd rather die than do that!
"But you still have to be able to win the argument, humph."
After saying that, Qi Lin let out a sneer, which was full of sarcasm.
"That's true. No one can replace you in his heart, not even to the slightest extent."
Leng didn't seem to mind Qilin's sarcastic tone, and even gave a self-deprecating smile.
"Ah"
Qi Lin gave a cold snort with a half-smile.
It's like asserting sovereignty against the cold.
"I can understand the monogamous system in your China, just like our Angel Nebula. An angel can only have one partner in his/her life, and even if something happens to him/her along the way, the angel will not swear to protect another person."
Seeing Qi Lin's attitude, Leng Ye still didn't get angry.
Instead, they started chatting politely with her.
"Then why are you still... still bothering him? Don't you think this goes against the rules of your angels?"
Qi Lin originally wanted to say, "Then why are you so shameless?"
But in the end, she still didn't say those harsh words.
"Because he's too outstanding."
Leng replied to Qilin without any hesitation.
"Ha, I really don't see what's so outstanding about him."
Qi Lin felt a little annoyed when she saw Leng praising her man so openly.
He decisively contradicted her.
"You really can't tell?"
Hearing Qi Lin's disdainful tone, Leng couldn't help but widen her eyes.
I'm a little confused about whether she's telling the truth or lying.
"Then tell me, what makes him outstanding?"
Qi Lin asked a question without thinking.
"He's excellent in every way, especially because he has a heart that dares to dedicate himself. He's willing to give up his own life to save more people. Not every god has this kind of virtue. Even we angels would first consider whether it's worth it."
Leng deliberately mentioned the word "god" because she knew that many Chinese soldiers could do that.
Those Chinese soldiers were just human beings, not gods with their long lives.
They did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for their country.
But ultimately they didn't stand at God's level, nor could they understand how many meaningful things God could do in his life.
She personally believes that those "children" have no idea what life and death are.
It was merely a momentary act of bravery for their beliefs and goals.
"That's it?"
Qi Lin couldn't quite understand it, after all, there were just too many people willing to sacrifice themselves.
She didn't find it unusual to step forward in a time of national crisis.
Because such people are everywhere during times of war.
Even she herself is like that, otherwise why would she join the Super God Academy to fight for her country?
She didn't think there was anything to praise or be proud of about it.
"He might seem ordinary to you, but in my eyes, he's like a shooting star in the night sky, so dazzling and eye-catching..."
As he spoke, Leng couldn't help but recall how he had risked his life to save Ruoning from her clutches.
I recalled the scene where he had to sacrifice himself to save the Mangdangshan.
She saw it; before he leaped to block the artillery fire, he glanced at Qilin, who was far away in the helicopter.
At that moment, his eyes... were glistening with tears.
She knew very well that he couldn't let go of his wife, but she had no choice but to make a decision at that crucial moment.
He truly was like an angel to them—righteous, brave, and impeccable…
"..."
Seeing Leng Yi's "daydreaming" attitude whenever her husband was mentioned, Qi Lin was extremely annoyed.
She really disliked other women fantasizing about or coveting her man.
It's even extremely annoying!
So Qi Lin didn't talk to Leng, but instead looked at the night view under the streetlights in the distance.
"I don't know if you've noticed, but the way Lena from your Super Soldier Squad looks at him is also strange. Although she tries to hide it a lot, I can clearly feel that it's not just the kind of look you should have for a comrade."
Seeing that Qi Lin ignored her, Leng could only change the subject.
After all, she was there to get closer to Qilin, so she couldn't just give up easily.
"Really? What about the others? Like Mengmeng and Weilan?"
Qilin knew, of course, that the angel was deliberately trying to sow discord, but she didn't expose her directly.
Because she also wanted to see just how "ugly" this so-called angel of justice really was inside.
They actually did something like this to sow discord.
This is absolutely despicable!
"I didn't sense anything from Nuoxing Sharp Knife, but He Weilan, her mind is entirely on you, she can't tolerate any other men."
After a moment's thought, Leng bluntly stated what she believed to be the "truth."
They don't even know how to be discreet.
Of course, that's the main point, since that's the reality she saw.
"What nonsense are you spouting?! Can you please stop making malicious assumptions about others? Do you know how impolite you are?!"
Upon hearing that the angel had "slandered" her best friend, Qi Lin was furious.
He turned around and glared at "her" with a fierce look.
It looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and was now bristling with fur.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about them then, let's just talk about the two of us, okay?"
Seeing that Qilin was angry, Leng quickly changed his tune and dared not gossip about other people's private affairs in front of them.
"We have nothing to say to each other. Since you're not going to fight, then stay away from him and don't ruin our family harmony."
After realizing the angel's wicked nature, Qilin had absolutely no desire to continue talking to "her".
She just wants to get as far away from this shameless guy as possible right now.
"I'm just saying I won't fight for it now, but when you're gone someday, I'll definitely be with him."
Instead of going along with Qi Lin's wishes, Leng spoke her mind.
I didn't find her words particularly surprising at all.
"You even cursed me to die?!"
Upon learning that the angel was hoping for her early death so she could take over, Qi Lin almost couldn't resist taking out her divine punishment.
Even without pulling out a gun, Qi Lin's gaze towards Leng was quite hostile.
It's even a bit unbelievable.
Because she really didn't expect this angel to be such a scoundrel!
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I meant, after you die of old age, I can be with him, just like Yan. She was willing to wait a thousand years for the power of the Milky Way, and so can I."
Leng was surprised that Qilin would misunderstand her meaning, and she panicked.
Quickly tell "her" her "true" intentions.
"..."
Hearing the angel's clumsy explanation, Qilin remained silent.
He just kept glaring at her with displeasure.
"I didn't come here for any other reason than to tell you that you don't need to keep guarding against me. I won't interfere while you're still doing well."
Seeing that Qi Lin remained silent, Leng could only reiterate her stance.
Whether what she said is true or false is something only she herself knows.
"You're just putting on an act. Didn't you tell him you were willing to be his mistress? Why aren't you planning to become his mistress now?"
Qi Lin scoffed at Leng's words, not believing them at all.
"I had no choice but to give in since you weren't willing, didn't I?"
Hearing Qi Lin's tone, Leng curled her lip, her voice seemingly carrying a hint of complaint.
After all, she felt that Qilin was a woman like her.
Not only did they fail to understand her, they also vehemently opposed her.
It's as if pursuing her future and her crush is wrong.
We're all women, why can't we try to see things from each other's perspective?
Why do you have to make things difficult for her every day?
Really...
"Concessions? Do I need you to concede? If you're so capable, then step in here."
Qi Lin laughed silently at the cold words and then made a sarcastic remark.
"Tsk, look at you, why are you suddenly angry? I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, can you stop overthinking it?"
Seeing that Qi Lin's tone was off, Leng had no choice but to lower his stance and try to "please" her.
"Your persistent pursuit of him is already putting me in a difficult position enough, okay?"
As she spoke, Qi Lin rolled her eyes at Leng.
"No, you can control everything, but how can you control whether someone likes him?"
Leng was also a little annoyed by Qi Lin's attitude, and her words were not as pleasant as before.
"He's my man, so I won't allow other women to like him, nor will I allow him to like anyone else. Is that not allowed?"
After saying that, Qi Lin snorted coldly, her face full of displeasure.
"Then go and worry about Lena. Can't you see them exchanging glances?"
Seeing Qi Lin's determination, Leng couldn't help but provoke her.
He was clearly unhappy.
Why did she come all this way for nothing?
She didn't win his favor; instead, he became even more hostile towards her.
She's unhappy.
"Ha, you're truly unreasonable."
Qi Lin was angered by Leng's provocative behavior, and left without looking back after saying that.
They didn't want to look at the other person even once.
She watched Qi Lin leave with a cold gaze, then stomped her foot in anger.
But she didn't chase after him again to be pathetic; she simply turned and walked towards their angels' dormitory area.
