Long Qian Xing shook his head as he heard his men complaining and clamoring not to be punished with more practice.

"Get back to work. It'll be night soon."

"Yes, General!"

The soldiers quickly ran to deliver the fishes to the chef. They had no intention of staying here any longer and made Long Qian Xing even angrier because of their action. Still, it wouldn't stop them from gossiping.

"I didn't expect that Adjutant Nan can defeat General Xing like that."

"This is just fishing and not anything else. Do you really expect them to compete seriously?"

"Right."

"Still, it's quite refreshing to see General Xing lose to someone in his generation."

Everyone was already used to see Long Qian Xing beat the others who were of the same generation as him. After all, many of them were definitely not comparable to Long Qian Xing and only very rarely did some of them could beat him.

Most of the times, it was those of the older generation who could beat Long Qian Xing and showed the difference between adult and young adult like him.

As the soldiers were gossiping happily with each other, Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua helplessly. "Don't worry about them. They just have nothing better to do."

Nan Hua nodded.

People liked to gossip. It was something that she herself knew very well. When there was something interesting, they couldn't hold themselves back from spreading it out and as time passed, the content could even change to be very exaggerating.

But that was just how things were.

She didn't mind at all.

"It's warm," Nan Hua commented.

Warm?

Thinking about those soldiers, Long Qian Xing's lips curled up to form a faint smile. Naturally, he also knew that being comrade in arms, they learned to trust each other with their back when they were on the frontline and busy fighting against the enemies.

It was this trust that allowed them to be close to each other and thus, this rowdy scene could play out.

"If you would like to, you can also join them." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "These soldiers wouldn't mind an additional person to come and joke around with them."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

After thinking about it, she shook her head.

The soldiers were close to each other because they have shared many experiences with others for various matters. Nan Hua had never spent so much time with these people, so she wouldn't expect to be able to enter their circle.

Besides, it was unsure what kind of topic that she could use to enter their circle.

"There's no need."

"Alright." Long Qian Xing didn't force Nan Hua. He only watched his men gossiped with each other and smiled. "If you like this atmosphere, you can also spend more time on the frontline."

Spend more time on the frontline?

Nan Hua had already spent more time on the frontline, but she usually stayed either with Nan Luo or Yu Jin. She was not close to the other soldiers who were following them except during the war time when she was giving them orders.

Thinking about her future plan, Nan Hua could only shake her head. "That's not suitable."

"Is it?" Long Qian Xing rubbed his chin. "What a pity."

Nan Hua stayed silent.

"Shall we cook the fishes? They're pretty big, so I guess one is enough for you?" Long Qian Xing asked when he saw that Nan Hua didn't want to talk about that topic anymore. He was more sensitive to other people's mood and could guess whether they liked to talk in a certain topic or not.

Being able to know other people's preference through their body language and expression was one of the few things needed in order to communicate well. Long Qian Xing had learned to adapt for a long time, so he was able to notice Nan Hua's gesture.

"One is enough." Nan Hua took one of the biggest fishes and walked to the side to prepare fire. Roasted fish was pretty good even without many condiments as long as it was cooked enough.

"Ok." Long Qian Xing himself prepared two for him because he liked eating and needed more energy. His consumption was naturally larger than most people because of his martial arts and also his large body.

The rest of the fishes were given to the chef for the soldiers.

"I'll clean the fishes, or do you want to do it together?"

"Together." This was not the first time Nan Hua ate fishes, so she was familiar with the method to clean it up.

Cleaning up the fishes and then used a stick to roast it by the fire, Nan Hua waited calmly. There were not many condiments that could be used in this era, so it was mostly replaced with some herbs found in the way or bought in the city before. Beside her, Long Qian Xing also prepared his fishes with familiarity.

It was clear that this was not the first time he roasted fishes in the wilderness.

She looked at the distance and could still see the soldiers were busy preparing their own meal.

It was very lively.

Long Qian Xing was also sitting in front of Nan Hua. He could see her line of sight was looking towards his soldiers. He smiled faintly. "Do you like liveliness, Adjutant Nan?"

"Not really." If Nan Hua had to be in the middle of that crowd, she wouldn't feel that comfortable, but she could still adapt. After all, strong adaptation ability has long become part of her ability.

"Hmm?"

"It just look comfortable." Nan Hua didn't want to be part of it, but she liked seeing it. It was a strange feeling that she herself didn't really understand.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows and laughed. "Indeed, being able to see them laughing and happy is a kind of happiness in itself. After all, it's a soldiers' duty to protect the land and the citizen's happiness."
