Chapter 497 - Bribing the Hearts of Others (2/2)

“It’s Comrade Qiu.” The soldiers on duty were especially familiar with Qiu Chenxi. Besides the people who had to leave the army to purchase necessities, Qiu Chenxi was the next ‘busiest’ person who came in and out of the camp.

“Yes.” Qiu Chenxi rolled her eyes coldly at the two soldiers before walking in arrogantly in an aloof manner.

How could the two soldiers not know that they had been looked down upon?

One of them simply sighed. “Fine, it’s not the first day we know what kind of temperament this person has. It’ll be fine once we’re used to it.”

“I don’t feel justified. Such an arrogant and sn.o.bbish woman, yet so many brothers in the army treat her like a fairy. d.a.m.n, all of them are blind.” When he told everyone the facts, those bewitched brothers who were blind at heart even said that it was normal and understandable for Comrade Qiu to have some temper as she was a beautiful woman that came from a good family.

Nonsense.

They did not mind as they were not the ones who were being rolled eyes at.

“Putting aside Comrade Qiu’s family background, no matter how I see it, she can’t be compared to Teacher Xiao Qiao who came this time. She’s so polite. The way she looked at us was obviously different. In Qiu Chenxi’s eyes, soldiers are useless. In Teacher Xiao Qiao’s eyes, I realized how proud a soldier can be. Do you think all the outsiders now look at us in the same light as Teacher Xiao Qiao?”

When they thought of the bow that Teacher Xiao Qiao gave to them when she arrived at the army, the soldiers felt so sweet at heart. It was as if they had taken some soft drinks.

“How could that be the same?” The other soldier laughed. “If all the outsiders are like Teacher Xiao Qiao, then why are there so many bachelors in the army?” Hence, people like Teacher Xiao Qiao who liked soldiers so much were few and far between, particularly women.

His family wanted to introduce ladies to him, but when the lady heard that he was a soldier, oftentimes, she would reject even the opportunity to meet up.

Qiu Chenxi, who stepped away with her little leather shoes, did not know she had been the topic of criticism of the soldiers whom she looked down upon. They even compared her with Qiao Nan, and in the end, the outcome was that she lost to Qiao Nan.

When she returned to the army where mosquitoes would not stop buzzing, Qiu Chenxi sat in the dormitory and kicked her feet in fury continuously.

The bed in the dormitory was so hard and small. It was, of course, not as comfortable as the one at home. Furthermore, the fan in the army was so weak. They were also not allowed to turn it on at times. There were so many mosquitoes, life was tough, she could not wear any pretty clothes and the food was poor.

It was such a dilapidated place without any merits. For the sake of wooing Zhai Sheng, she had to come and stay here frequently. She was going crazy!

In the Qiu family, it could be said that Qiu Chenxi lived her days without doing any work.

However, in the army, although the food was not good, she did not need to cook them herself. The problem was that no one helped her do the laundry. Qiu Chenxi only learned how to wash her own clothes after she came to the army because of Zhai Sheng.

It was a place that she hated. Qiu Chenxi could not understand why Zhai Sheng liked it so much. He could stay here for at least 300 days out of the 365 days in a year.

After venting some of her frustration in the dormitory, Qiu Chenxi gathered herself. She went out and summoned someone. “Has Regiment Commander Zhai come back? Where is he?”

“In his office. There is an event in the army recently. Most likely, Regiment Commander Zhai needed to be involved in this matter.” The person who replied Qiu Chenxi was a female soldier, a military performer.

“I see.” After thinking, Qiu Chenxi went back to her dormitory and took out a bottle of perfume which only had half left.
