Chapter 819: Chapter 859: The Feelings of a Single Man

Qin Yue’s eyes were almost popping out, “I say, can’t you two consider the feelings of us single folks? Tone it down a bit?”

Xu Qigang shot him a glance, and Qin Yue felt a palpable sense of menace. Fine, he, as a single man, was unwelcome everywhere; he might as well go chase after his little wife.

“Sis, time for dinner, you haven’t eaten in two days. Come, let’s go eat, just ignore him.”

Sheng Ning was always curious about why Qin Yue called her sis. It was odd yesterday, but she didn’t have the mind to ask. Now that he called her again, she asked out of curiosity, “Why do you call me sis? Shouldn’t you call me sister-in-law or Comrade Sheng Ning?”

Qin Yue rubbed his nose, not admitting his intentions until he had managed to win the sister over. “Doesn’t ‘sis’ just sound more endearing?”

“But I’m much younger than you!” If she remembered correctly, Qin Yue was only a year younger than Xu Qigang.

“Sis, in any case, you’ll understand later. You won’t mind me calling you this, will you?”

“Of course not,” Sheng Ning was immensely grateful to Qin Yue and could never disagree. Let alone calling her sis, he could call her anything he wanted.

Xu Qigang looked at his comrade, a trace of a smile tugging at his lips. After all this time, he hadn’t expected Qin Yue to remember; perhaps the little hooligan had changed.

“Qin Yue, what’s taking you so long to call someone?” Chen Huaying’s voice came from behind Qin Yue, prompting him to make way. As Chen Huaying glanced, Sheng Ning was still seated on the bed!

Xu Qigang also awoke and hurried to greet them.

“Captain Xu, thank you.” Xu Qigang was already the person Chen Huaying admired most, and now, as she’d say in a past life, Chen Huaying had become his biggest fan.

“No need to be polite.” Xu Qigang was not used to receiving thanks in person, and between him and Chen Yingjie, their brotherly bond didn’t need thanks. “How’s Ying Jie doing?”

“My brother? He’s doing well! But from now on, you can call him Hua Banhu.” Seeing her brother’s injuries made Chen Huaying incredibly distressed; she had cried last night despite never crying before. Dad, Mom, and Grandpa all rushed over, and Mom even fainted.

Over a hundred cuts all over his body, wrapped like a mummy, with no intact skin. Some places had been injured for so long that parts of the muscle had necrotized, and doctors had to surgically remove the dead tissue. Luckily, the wounds were severe but didn’t harm any internal organs, which, compared to the life-threatening situation of the Living Yama, left the Chen Family at a loss for words.

Qin Yue curled his lips, disdainfully saying, “Well, now Chen Yingjie has yet another thing to boast about. Just wait, by summer that guy won’t be wearing clothes, flaunting everywhere he goes.”

Sheng Ning felt worried for Chen Yingjie; with so many scars, young girls might find him scary. Yet unexpectedly, Chen Huaying lifted her chin, proudly saying, “My brother has reasons to brag, are you unconvinced? The wounds on a man’s body are medals; you don’t even have any!”

Such a mindset to admire—no wonder Mr. Chen’s thoughts are typical of men.

“Hmph, if not for you saving my brother and Captain Xu this time, I wouldn’t let this slide.” Chen Huaying waved to Sheng Ning, “Let’s go, hurry for dinner, your complexion is terrifyingly pale.”

“What about Qigang?” Sheng Ning didn’t want to leave him for even a minute.
