Chapter 150 Lighting a lighter by chance is a bad habit
A group of people walked out of Qinghuan Residence, looking quite drunk.
The cold night wind dissipated some of the effects of the alcohol.
"Are you really going to the amusement park for the Chinese New Year?" Yao Qing leaned close to Liu Ren and asked in a low voice.
"If Bingyu wants to go, then take her to see it." Liu Ren gave Yao Qing a strange look.
It's not like it's something that's hard to talk about. Why is she standing so close and deliberately lowering her voice?
"And what about your sister?" Yao Qing asked.
"Mu Cheng? Didn't she say she was going too?"
"It's a rare vacation, don't you think it would be more appropriate for the two of you to go out together?" Yao Qing held up two index fingers and gestured, sometimes bringing them closer and sometimes pulling them far apart.
"I don't think so. I think it's more lively with more people." Liu Ren pretended not to understand what she meant.
"Okay, whatever." Yao Qing clicked her tongue. "Then I want to go too!"
"You're going too? Don't you have anything else to do?"
"A vacation is when you have nothing to do!"
"What I mean is, you can use this time to practice your swordsmanship and physical fitness in the training ground."
"Am I crazy? Why should I be training instead of having fun during the New Year holiday?"
"I'm not sick. I was just saying. It's more important to train more and improve my skills than anything else." Liu Renming had clearly drunk a lot, but there wasn't a trace of drunkenness in his voice.
His voice was soft, but Yao Qing could hear the seriousness hidden in his words.
Tone of voice sometimes does not reflect one's true thoughts.
Just as we cannot conclude that a person's judgment is inaccurate when they are drunk.
Yao Qing's mind wasn't working very well, but she still managed to figure out Liu Ren's meaning almost instantly, as if in a dream.
"Are you afraid I'll die on the mission?"
"..."
Liu Ren glanced at Yao Qing with some surprise. Was his intention so obvious?
no?
"As your captain, it's perfectly normal for me to care about the improvement of my teammates' skills."
"You did not answer my question."
Yao Qing shook her head, and her ponytail bounced back and forth.
"You're quite drunk."
"I don't!"
Yao Qing stared straight at Liu Ren, her dark eyes gleaming in the streetlights.
“…Yes, I’m worried you’ll die on the mission.” Liu Ren had no choice but to admit honestly, “Your current strength is still too weak. If you don’t work hard to make up for the gap, the road ahead will be very difficult.”
"Hmph~ I'll be your teammate, I'll definitely outlive those cannon fodder, don't worry! I have a lot of faith in you!" Yao Qing was in a good mood. She lit a cigarette for herself and then subconsciously offered one to Liu Ren.
"I don't smoke women's cigarettes," Liu Ren refused.
"Oh, I forgot." Yao Qing reached into her pocket but didn't find what she wanted. She nudged Liu Ren with her elbow.
The latter, understanding perfectly, took a lighter from the inside pocket of his coat and handed it over.
"Hiss... Ha." Yao Qing took a deep breath, the red light standing out prominently in the dim light.
She seems to be addicted to nicotine.
A few people who didn't smoke at all walked in front, leaving only Liu Ren and Yao Qing, two heavy smokers, at the back of the group.
“I didn’t smoke women’s cigarettes before,” Yao Qing said after exhaling.
Because she had been following Liu Ren around all the time, she carried ordinary cigarettes with her.
Moreover, because Liu Ren smoked too fast on many occasions and kept asking her for cigarettes, she would even carry two extra packs with her on hand as spares.
"So why did you change your taste?" Liu Ren asked casually.
"Because they've started operating solo now~ I originally planned to lead Yan Ling and the others astray, but they were completely out of touch." Yao Qing said with some frustration, "It's so nice to have a cigarette after the battle."
"Other people's enjoyment is not based on nicotine, and also, don't lead others astray."
"For people like us, if we don't have a habit of venting our emotions, we'll eventually end up with something huge, right?"
"How do you know they don't have their own ways of venting their emotions? Maybe they have legitimate hobbies."
"Yan Ling's hobby is watching lowbrow videos. When she has free time, she watches anime and reads novels, but the content is BL (Boys' Love).
"..."
"Liang Nian looks very proper, but his mind is full of dirty thoughts. He might just be sitting at home with nothing to do and start masturbating. Do you think these hobbies are proper? I feel like smoking is even better."
"Spreading rumors about teammates is not a good thing."
"Haha, I didn't spread any rumors, I have evidence!"
"What evidence?"
"Of course it is——"
Before Yao Qing could finish speaking, an arm was wrapped around her neck.
She was dragged away.
The person who dragged her away was Liang Nian, who had approached her at some unknown time.
"Ugh... let go... I'm going to die..."
"Hmph." Liang Nian released her arm, then grabbed Yao Qing's ponytail from behind her head and pulled it up forcefully. "I heard you spreading rumors about me behind my back from far away. Are you tired of living? Or did you drink too much and mess up your brain?"
"Spreading rumors? I would never do such a thing, I didn't spread any rumors at all—"
"Think about it again?" Liang Nian revealed a dangerous smile and held the machete to Yao Qing's neck.
"Uh... okay, sorry."
"Humph."
Hearing Yao Qing decisively admit defeat, Liang Nian put away his wood-chopping knife and snorted coldly.
She really wanted to throw a knife at that guy's head just now.
Damn it, being a big mouth is one thing.
They even dared to give orders to their direct superior!
What's the difference between this and sharing a good picture in a work group?
"Actually, it's nothing. The captain isn't a big mouth," Yao Qing immediately defended herself as the atmosphere eased.
"Is that the problem?!" Liang Nian's face flushed red as she pulled Yao Qing away, turning to the others behind her and saying, "This guy is drunk and talking nonsense. I'll take her home!"
"Slow down." Liu Ren didn't react much, just gave a brief instruction.
"Captain, that guy just likes to talk nonsense, don't take it to heart," Yan Ling said to Liu Ren, trying to appear calm.
"Mm." Liu Ren nodded.
"Then I'll head back too. See you tomorrow!" Yan Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
"See you tomorrow."
"Then I'll go back to my dorm too." After the others left one by one, Fang Qian also stopped.
"Okay, don't forget the training ground tomorrow morning."
"I won't forget!"
Finally, only the family of three remained on the road.
Liu Ren sighed, reached for a cigarette, and intended to have a smoke to calm himself down.
As a result, he searched his right hand in the inside pocket of his coat for a long time but couldn't find the lighter.
Liu Ren was stunned for a moment before he realized that Yao Qing hadn't returned the lighter!
That guy actually has this bad habit?
Liu Ren looked distressed and could only put the cigarette back.
Liu Mucheng didn't stop him from smoking anymore, but asked, "Is smoking your little habit of venting your emotions?"
“A person with a strong inner self doesn’t need quirks to relieve accumulated negative emotions, and I happen to be that kind of strong person.” Liu Ren refuted Liu Mucheng’s guess.
"..." Liu Mucheng did not question it, but she had reservations about the explanation given by Liu Ren.
Even the strongest heart cannot withstand the repeated wear and tear of fighting against monsters.
Even if Liu Ren didn't say anything, she could figure it out herself.
