Chapter 130 Qiaoqiao, you have to hurry up
Wang Qi felt a little disappointed when he saw this. He quickly cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "What are you all doing? Go back to your own business. Clean up what needs to be cleaned up and rest. We have to continue our journey soon, so don't waste time here!"
The soldiers gradually dispersed with laughter, but the word "sister-in-law" seemed to still echo in the air, making the atmosphere between Wang Qi and Nan Qiao even more subtle and awkward.
Wang Qi secretly glanced at Nan Qiao and saw that her cheeks were flushed, but there was nothing else unusual.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to break the deadlock, but swallowed the words back. He just stood there, scratching his head, looking at a loss.
After a long while, Nan Qiao was the first to raise his head, looked at Wang Qi and said, "These new recruits are just making trouble. None of them are serious. Don't listen to their nonsense."
When Wang Qi heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, they are just joking. Don't take it to heart."
Nan Qiao rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "How could I take it to heart? Am I such a petty person? But you really are such a fool. You should have taken better care of them and not let them behave so recklessly."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely teach them a lesson when I get back, so that they know what to say and what not to say." Wang Qi responded hurriedly, but secretly groaned in his heart.
If I really teach him a lesson about this, it seems like I'm making a big deal out of nothing, but if I don't do anything, I'm afraid Nan Qiao will get really angry.
The two chatted casually, and soon the soldiers of the 233rd Regiment had rested enough and set out again.
After the team set out again, the soldiers marched in neat steps on the road. The atmosphere was a little dull, but the afterglow of the laughter and embarrassment just now seemed not to have completely dissipated.
At this time, a pretty female soldier, with sparkling eyes and a hint of curiosity and shyness, quietly approached a few familiar female soldiers and asked in a low voice, "Hey, do you know if Wang Qi, the commander of the second battalion, has a girlfriend?"
"I just heard those soldiers jokingly saying that he seems to have some connection with Qiaoqiao from that battalion. Is that true?"
When the female soldiers nearby heard this, they also became interested and started talking about it.
"I'm not too sure. They don't seem to have anything to do with each other."
"Well, it must be those new recruits who started the commotion."
After hearing what everyone said, the female soldier who was asking for information wondered, since Wang Qi didn't have a partner, did she still have a chance?
Thinking of this, she mustered up her courage and took advantage of the moment when the team took a break, clutching a handkerchief she had carefully sewn in her hand, and walked towards where Wang Qi was.
Wang Qi was sitting on a rock, checking the marching route map, his brows slightly furrowed, his face full of concentration.
The female soldier walked up to him, coughed lightly, and said nervously, "Captain Wang, you...you've worked hard. I...I have a handkerchief here that I sewed myself. I'll give it to you to wipe your sweat or something."
As she spoke, she handed over the handkerchief, her cheeks as red as a ripe apple.
Wang Qi was stunned at first, then he looked up and saw that it was a female soldier holding a handkerchief in her hand. He immediately understood what was going on.
He quickly waved his hand and declined with a smile, "Thank you, comrade, but I can't accept this handkerchief. Everyone is marching hard, and I can't ask for special treatment."
The female soldier felt a little disappointed when she heard this, but she still didn't give up and said, "Battalion Commander, please accept it. This... this doesn't mean anything else. I just saw that you have been busy all the time and it's very hard, so I wanted to express my gratitude."
Wang Qi still shook his head firmly, his tone friendly but unquestionable: "Really, no need. I appreciate your kindness. Keep the handkerchief for yourself, or give it to a comrade who needs it more."
Seeing Wang Qi's firm attitude, the female soldier knew that it was useless to insist any further, so she had to respond with red eyes and an aggrieved "Oh", then turned around and slowly walked away.
Wang Qi looked at her departing back and sighed softly. He shook his head helplessly and looked up to notice that Nan Qiao was watching this scene not far away.
His heart tightened, fearing that Nan Qiao might have misunderstood something. Just as he was about to stand up to explain, he saw Nan Qiao calmly look away.
I had just raised my butt, but I had to sit back down.
Wang Qi felt very upset. He hoped that Nan Qiao was angry because she saw a female soldier looking for him, but he was also afraid that she was angry.
When several soldiers from the second battalion saw Nan Qiao sitting alone, they walked over with a smile, a hint of humor in their eyes.
One of the soldiers spoke first, "Qiaoqiao, do you know that since our regiment moved south, Captain Wang has become very popular. Many female soldiers in the regiment are secretly eyeing him."
Another soldier immediately chimed in, "That's right, look at Captain Wang. He has good looks, a tall and straight figure, and a handsome appearance. It's normal for female soldiers to like him."
"Qiaoqiao, you better hold on tight, or you'll be snatched away by the female soldiers from other camps."
As he said this, he winked at Nan Qiao.
But as soon as these words came out, a new soldier nearby was unhappy and immediately said loudly: "Our Sister Qiaoqiao is not bad either! Look at her appearance, bright eyes and white teeth, and look at her heroic posture. Which female soldier in the regiment can compare to her!"
"There are so many warriors who like Sister Qiaoqiao, we can't take the initiative to get close to them."
"Is it necessary for our Sister Qiao Qiao to do that?" Several new recruits spoke passionately, their faces flushed red.
"Hey, what do you know, a new recruit? What's wrong with taking the initiative if you like someone? Captain Wang and Sister Qiao Qiao are a good match. If you don't seize the opportunity now, you will regret it later." An old soldier from the second battalion retorted.
"That's right, our battalion commander is such a good person. If Qiaoqiao doesn't take the initiative, someone else might get there first." Another soldier chimed in.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Sister Qiaoqiao is so outstanding, she doesn't need to take the initiative to please anyone. It should be Captain Wang who takes the initiative." The new recruit blushed and continued to argue with his neck stiff.
For a moment, several soldiers started arguing about Wang Qi and Nan Qiao. They talked back and forth, neither of them giving in. Their voices became louder and louder, attracting curious glances from many soldiers around them.
Nan Qiao sat in the middle, feeling a headache from their noise and a bit embarrassed. She stood up, glared at them, and scolded them, "What are you all arguing about? You have nothing to do! Go and rest quickly, we have to go on our way soon."
Several quarreling soldiers noticed that Wang Qi had looked over here, and his serious and furrowed brows made them feel nervous.
They immediately shut up and went about their own business.
