Chapter 201: To Our Leader, He’s Extremely Strict and Curt

She went back to the tent with her head hung low and a strange fuzzy feeling in her heart.

She looked up and saw Mu Xichen approaching.

He looked calm as usual.

But Li Beinian was the one who felt uncomfortable the moment she recalled what happened.

She went into the tent, took off her shoes, and curled up in a corner.

Mu Xichen saw that she was trying to avoid him and somehow felt better about it.

He stood before the tent and quietly said, “Take a rest first, I’ll go to Old Xing’s.”

Old Xing was their doctor, Li Beinian knew that.

Li Beinian felt a little disturbed by this and stuck her head out. “You’re unwell?”

Mu Xichen looked down at her, his shadow enveloping her.

“I’ve to go back for a review. I’ll just rest there instead.”

So, he wouldn’t be coming back to sleep here?

Li Beinian heaved a sigh of relief discreetly.

“Oh, alright. Go ahead.” Li Beinian went back into the tent. “I’m going to sleep. I’m exhausted.”

The shadow outside her tent shifted. A few seconds later, she heard his magnetic voice. “Good night.”

With that, the shadow left.

Li Beinian felt a little empty in her heart as she sat in the tent alone.

She zipped up the opening of the tent and felt oddly uncomfortable.

She tossed and turned inside as if her mind had been intoxicated.

She could even hear the ringing of the army’s apologies by her ear.

The feeling of embarrassment was suffocating her, and she wished she could dig a pit for herself as an escape.

“Ah!” She kicked the mat at her feet and screamed, “So annoying!”

Then, she heard someone. “Sister-in-law, are you alright?”

“Shut up! Who the hell is your sister-in-law!”

–

“Boss, the police are here!”

Li Beinian was startled awake by the voice.

The sky was already bright and she could hear footsteps.

Li Beinian yawned and straightened out her clothes before going out.

A few policemen were standing there, talking to Gu Mingye.

She did not see Mu Xichen, however. After looking for him for a while, somebody snuck up behind her. “Hehe, Boss is over at Doctor Xing’s. He hasn’t left.”

Li Beinian had a shock. She turned around and saw that it was Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan giggled. “I thought that Boss would be with you. Who knew that he’d send himself into Old Xing’s clutches.”

“Old Xing is terrifying?” Li Beinian asked.

“Tsk, tsk.” Bai Yuan shook his head. “He’s not scary to us. To our leader, he’s extremely strict and curt.”

Bai Yuan had an obvious look of sympathy on his face. But he quickly said, “But serves him right. He refuses to eat medicine nor get jabs. Others would be obedient and await treatment after being hit by a bullet. But him? He took the bullet out himself! No wonder Old Xing has to keep an eye on him.”

Upon hearing that, Li Beinian’s heart went a little cold.

She recalled how he’d taken the bullet out of his leg on his own just yesterday.

As if knowing that they were talking about him, Mu Xichen arrived, appearing before Li Beinian.

But there was a plaster on his hand.

Bai Yuan smiled as he looked at it. “I bet Old Xing tied him up to get him on a drip.”
