Chapter 1345 - 1359: Careless, So Careless
Ding Liang was hugging his foot as he watched the two people go flying; compared to those two brothers, his own foot suddenly didn’t seem to hurt that much.
"Did you two get brain hypoxia from doing push-ups or what? Didn’t see these two chicks standing here for ages? So many groomsmen and not a single one thought to carry them? They were waiting for you two. That bit just now about ’plenty of chances to get back at you’—did you really think they were just talking? Everyone knows the Guard Team girls have hearts as small as pinholes. Sigh, careless, so careless."
Ding Liang pinched his little fingers and shook his head, then followed the crowd, ready to head out.
He Qing and Li Dongguo exchanged a look and nodded in perfect sync. Why was it the three of them against the Guard Team girls, yet in the end only the two of them got kicked by them?
Just as Ding Liang was still going on and on, his arm suddenly sank as the two pounced on him like hungry tigers.
"What are you two doing? I’m on your side, remember? Don’t tell me it’s not just your brains that got oxygen-deprived from those push-ups—your eyes went blind too?" Ding Liang struggled hard under the two-man hold, but he was pinned down tight with no way to break free.
His brain spun at top speed. He was sure of it now—these two bastards were trying to drag him down with them.
"As elite members of the Special Team, how can we be doing this kind of infighting? Let go of me, both of you—do you want the captain to see us tearing each other apart? Don’t forget, the three of us came out here representing the honor of the Special Team. Our one and only mission is to serve as good groomsmen for Young Master Gu. You planning to abandon this glorious and arduous mission before it’s done? Think of the eager, hopeful looks in our teammates’ eyes when we left the Guard Team. Think of the solemn oaths we swore together, the times we went through life and death and became closer than blood brothers. What you’re doing now is exactly the kind of thing that makes your own people suffer and your enemies laugh."
Ding Liang beat his chest and stamped his feet, practically on the verge of bursting into tears, yet the two still showed no sign of letting go. In the end he could only pull out his trump card and shout toward the distant motorcade, "Captain, don’t worry, we’ll be right there!"
Sure enough, a thousand words weren’t as effective as one look from the captain. He Qing and Li Dongguo instantly loosened their grip on him.
This was exactly the chance Ding Liang had been waiting for. He shot out of the room and bolted toward Chen Yuanyuan’s car.
"Looks like the officers are having quite a bit of fun, huh?"
Although Ding Liang, He Qing, and Li Dongguo were just ordinary members of the Special Team, everyone knew that even a "regular" Special Team member’s record was at least at squad leader level. So to Chen Yuanyuan and the other regular guards of the Guard Team, they ought to be addressed as "sir."
"Nah, we’re one big loving family. Of course, the female guards and us male guards shouldn’t draw any lines between us—we should appreciate each other even more. So... you’re not planning to push me out of the car at a time like this, right?"
The way Chen Yuanyuan was staring at him made Ding Liang a bit jittery. He was really afraid this woman still held a grudge over that leg-over move just now and would just casually shove him right out.
If that happened, chances were he’d be carried back into the car next time.
Chen Yuanyuan stared at Ding Liang for a while, then finally turned her head away. "Today is the captain’s big day."
In other words, she wasn’t going to target him right now?
Ding Liang caught the subtext in Chen Yuanyuan’s words. He sat up straight and held out his right hand. "Formal introduction: I’m Ding Liang, Special Team member. Nice to meet you."
Chen Yuanyuan also extended her right hand and gave his a light shake. "Chen Yuanyuan."
Autumn wind gusted, fruit fragrance spread for miles; autumn really was a season of harvest.
