The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He

Chapter 241 - Envious Season

“Did you see Yan Chengyu?”

Ji Guangming had been sent by Hee Jingyan to the cafeteria to find Yan Chengyu for an important matter.

After searching for a long time without success, he decided to ask the resting soldiers outside.

“I didn't see him, did you?”

“Neither did I. I was just having dinner in there.”

“I think he mentioned he had something to do and stepped out for a bit.”

…

“Then where did he go?” Ji Guangming asked immediately.

“I don't know. I didn't ask him earlier, but who was that person with him? It seemed like they were discussing something.” a soldier replied.

“He can't be causing trouble for Squadron Leader Ann Yan again, can he?” Ji Guangming rolled his eyes.

“I doubt it!”

“That's strange! Who could he have gone with?” Ji Guangming scratched his head, puzzled.

“I'm so envious of you, Ji Guangming.”

Suddenly, a soldier's voice, filled with jealousy and envy, broke the silence.

“Exactly! I'm so envious of you!” another soldier echoed.

“That's right! I'm so envious of you,” chimed in a third, with a pitiful expression.

“Envy me? What do you guys envy me for?” Ji Guangming asked, confused.

Everyone immediately shouted, “We're envious that you don't have to train! You get to stay with sister-in-law!”

“I'm so jealous. Do you know how hard it is for us to train with Captain Ann Yan outside? We don't even have proper meals; we have to make our own food.”

“That's right, after a whole day of training, we're exhausted, yet we still have to cook for ourselves.”

“It's incredibly tough; I didn't expect it to be this bad.”

“That's why we're all envious of you! You don't need to train with us right now. You just follow sister-in-law around all day. No sunbathing for you either.”

…

So that's what it was!

“Isn't there dry food? Why do you have to cook?”

“Where would the dry food come from? It's survival training in the wild; we're not allowed to bring rations and water.”

“We just brought pots, pans, and camping gear. But it's so tough, you know how Captain Ann Yan's temper is; everything has to be perfect.”

“Indeed, Captain Ann Yan is just like that.”

Ji Guangming agreed, but his thoughts were elsewhere, still searching for Yan Chengyu.

“Can't blame that bastard Yan Chengyu! Every task is executed perfectly, and everyone has to follow his lead.”

“He wants to get on Captain Ann Yan's good side. Is he dragging him along to scam his teammates?”

“Exactly! I almost killed him.”

…

The soldiers were extremely resentful towards Yan Chengyu and on the verge of breaking down.

“Oh, you two still have it alright. Following sister-in-law isn't easy either. You know sister-in-law's temper; I'm terrified of causing any trouble.”

Ji Guangming suddenly began to complain about Xu Yangyi.

“Indeed! Sometimes I'd rather be out in the wilderness training than watching over sister-in-law.”

“That makes sense. If something goes wrong, it's no joke.”

“Thank you, Ji Guangming.”

“Right, it's tough on you.”

…

Everyone had felt bitter just now, but now they all came over to comfort Ji Guangming.

Ji Guangming was stunned, wondering how it had become about his hard work.

“Aren't you looking for Yan Chengyu? He's sitting in there!”

Suddenly, a soldier pointed at Yan Chengyu, who was in the dining hall.

“Really! Then I'll go find him quickly. I'm leaving!” He ran off.
