Regarding Tang Yan, Xu Hua does have some genuine liking. If it were an ordinary woman, he would have already thrown a lot of money at her to get her into bed, without this much patience in pursuing her. But he is a bit intimidated by Luo Chao, not daring to be as brazen as last time.
"Are you joking, buddy? You guys are freshmen and haven't met many times, how can you progress so quickly?" Xu Hua forced a smile.
"What's wrong with love at first sight? We've already secretly pledged our lives to each other. Are you going to shamelessly come between us as a third party?" Luo Chao maintained his smiling expression, which made Xu Hua want to punch him.
"In that case, I won't disturb you two any longer. I have matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." The situation was not in his favor, and he couldn't beat Luo Chao, so he could only temporarily swallow his pride. A gentleman takes his revenge, ten years is not too late, he comforted himself like this.
"Wait, don't be in such a rush to leave." Luo Chao stopped him.
"What do you want, buddy?" Xu Hua suppressed his anger and whispered.
"I think I heard you speaking disrespectfully to my girlfriend just now. How should we settle this score?"
Seeing Luo Chao being so aggressive, Xu Hua also became defiant and said in a muffled voice, "What exactly do you want, buddy? Just lay it out directly."
"Alright!" Luo Chao clapped his hands once. "Let's handle it the same way as last time, a handshake, and that's it for this matter. How about it?"
Xu Hua silently stretched out his left hand. He knew that if he didn't satisfy Luo Chao, he wouldn't be allowed to leave. His right hand still wasn't well.
The two hands shook, and Tang Yan on the side was somewhat happy. She didn't know the deal behind it, and truly thought that this would put an end to Xu Hua's harassment of her.
After the handshake, Xu Hua left.
Luo Chao squinted his eyes as he watched his back. Contrary to the previous situation, he had thought Xu Hua was a brainless brute, but today's behavior made Luo Chao look at him differently. The force he used just now was similar to last time, yet Xu Hua didn't scream like before and went through the entire process silently, his face only noticeably somber, with the muscles twitching a few times.
"Able to yield and stretch, truly a character," Luo Chao said to himself, redefining Xu Hua in his mind.
"Hey! Thanks a lot this time. That Xu Hua is really annoying, I don't like his 'Great Desert Hero Games' at all." Tang Yan seemed to be explaining a little.
Interrupted from his thoughts, Luo Chao smiled slightly, looking at the charming and pretty girl in front of him. "We've been friends for a long time, no need to thank me."
Tang Yan wrinkled her small nose and said somewhat coquettishly, "Who said we're old friends? You're talking like we're so close, aren't you deliberately trying to take advantage of me?"
For some reason, she always enjoyed talking with Luo Chao. Usually, she's a quiet girl who doesn't talk much, but she couldn't resist wanting to have a few more words with Luo Chao.
"Why not old friends? We haven't seen each other for so long. People say one day apart feels like three years, so by that count, we've been friends for decades. Not old yet," Luo Chao shamelessly declared.
Tang Yan cutely rolled her eyes, feeling speechless at Luo Chao's remarks.
"Where have you been these days? I went to your class a few times, but you weren't there. Your roommate said you took leave. What happened? Were you sick?" Tang Yan asked with some concern.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Luo Chao said in his mind: "Fortunately, those blockheads didn't spill the beans about my hemorrhoid surgery, otherwise, I'd lose face in front of a beauty."
"Something came up at home, had to go back and deal with it," Luo Chao answered.
"Is everything alright?"
"It's fine, I've already handled it."
At this point, the two were silent for a while, awkwardly standing there until Luo Chao broke the silence first.
"I still have some urgent matters to attend to, I'll get going first. We'll chat another time."
"Alright, then. You go ahead and do your thing."
When Luo Chao had walked quite a distance, Tang Yan stomped her little foot in frustration and whispered, "Silly log, so eager to leave, do I look that ugly? Can't even invite a girl to a meal or a movie, silly log, dumb log, might as well be stupid to death."
In the distance, a slight bitter smile appeared on Luo Chao's lips. Having had no experience dealing with girls before, upon hearing Tang Yan's comment on him, he could only awkwardly rub his nose, unsure of what to feel.
Since cultivating immortality, nothing happening within a hundred meters could escape Luo Chao's ears, so if Tang Yan knew her innermost thoughts were overheard by him, she'd be mortified and wish to find a hole to hide in.
Exiting the gates of Huaxia University, he waved down a taxi.
"Driver, please go to the military camp, thank you."
He placed an ID card in front of the little soldier on duty. "Comrade, please inform your Colonel Liu, I have matters to see him."
The little soldier clearly saw the ID card with "Huaxia Armed Special Forces Instructor, Major Officer Luo Chao" written on it, with a stamped photo ensuring it couldn't be fake, so he didn't dare delay and hastily saluted, saying loudly, "Yes, sir, please wait a moment."
He dashed into the duty office, made a phone call, and upon returning, saluted Luo Chao again with a snap. "Sir, Colonel Liu agrees to see you, the Jeep will arrive at once." Luo Chao returned the salute and stood at the gate waiting.
Not long after, a military Jeep drove up with a chug. Luo Chao got into it and headed towards Liu Dahu's office.
After knocking on the door, a voice came from inside, "Come in."
Luo Chao pushed open the door and walked in. When Liu Dahu saw Luo Chao entering, they both saluted. Liu Dahu spoke first: "I wonder what Luo Chao needs from me?" getting straight to the point.
"I just want to report the task to headquarters from here, my phone was lost, and I need to use your internal line." In the military, all contact information of bigwigs is encrypted, and you can't dial in from unknown numbers. Luo Chao's phone fell into the Yinyu River and he had no idea where the water carried it off to, which is why he hadn't contacted anyone.
"No problem, which chief would Major Luo like to report to?" Liu Dahu agreed very readily.
"General Chen Yuquan," Luo Chao replied.
Upon hearing Chen Yuquan's name, Liu Dahu showed respect, "General Chen is one of the folks I admire most in the military, I'll give him a call right away."
Liu Dahu picked up the phone on his desk, pressed a few numbers, and after a few rings, someone picked up. "Hello, Dahu speaking, what's up? What made you think of calling me?" Luo Chao heard a robust voice on the other end.
Not caring whether Chen Yuquan could see it, Liu Dahu's plump body snapped to attention. "Reporting, sir, it's not about me, there's a comrade who needs to speak with you."
"Oh? Who is it that needed you to call me?" Chen Yuquan asked with a hint of curiosity, wondering who it might be seeking him.
"It's an instructor from the Special Forces, Comrade Luo Chao."
