She Lives without Regret in This Life-Chapter 176 - 177 Dai Ersha

Chapter 176: Chapter 177 Dai Ersha

Xu Qigang’s face was as dark as the deep waters, his fists suddenly clenched. She had taken such a hard fall that afternoon and he had personally carried her back to the dormitory. Yet, by evening, she was being punished.

Was such a delicate girl able to endure it?

Xu Qigang’s reaction took Zhou Hong by surprise and also caused Chen Yingjie to raise his eyebrows in astonishment.

The Captain seemed to be genuinely angry?

Dai Bin was done for; from now on, his name might as well be changed to Dai Ersha.

Zhou Hong regretted taking delight in another’s misfortune, looking forward to the Captain becoming a laughingstock.

“How is she?” Xu Qigang asked coldly.

“I heard she’s in great shape, the first to complete the push-ups,” Zhou Hong quickly said, then frowned in thought. It suddenly dawned on him.

No wonder Xu Qigang was angry—it was out of concern! It wasn’t surprising, really. That Dai Ersha was indeed too foolish. Didn’t he know to change the punishment to something like writing a self-critique?

Just that afternoon, the Captain had carefully taken her to the infirmary, yet by evening, he dared to have her do push-ups. Truly audacious.

Slowly, the fist Xu Qigang held at his side unclenched, “Alright, you all go back to sleep.”

“Oh!”

“You should get some rest early too,” Zhou Hong said, looking back every three steps as Chen Yingjie pulled him away.

Xu Qigang stood still, staring blankly toward the dormitory area. A gust of cold wind blew by, snapping him back to reality.

Since he was worried, he might as well go have a look!

Thinking of visiting the girls’ dormitory in the middle of the night, Xu Qigang, as the Captain, struggled fiercely in his heart. Eventually, he took firm steps into the courtyard of the girls’ dormitory.

The lights in the rooms were already off, and Xu Qigang just stood there, not moving. His handsome face was expressionless, as calm as he had been numerous times on the battlefield, hovering between life and death. But a whirlwind was stirring in his deep eyes.

“Captain?” Dai Bin, returning from a round of patrol, called out in surprise before quickly standing erect and saluting while secretly thinking, could it be that the Captain is actually afraid of his wife?

Xu Qigang’s thick eyebrows knitted together for a moment, then he turned and fixed Dai Bin with a look that chilled to the bone.

“Do we have a chance to win the competition?”

Dai Bin hesitated. He would have been confident, but the fight between Qin Cuifen and Zhou Xuelian that evening had left him with no assurance.

“Useless!” Xu Qigang exploded in anger, “Our War Wolf Rescue Team has always cut a path forward, invincible. Anything less than first place is a disgrace. You don’t even have the confidence to win.”

Dai Bin gave a wry smile; he was indeed leading not a group of talented and beautiful comrades, but a bunch of ruffians. The scene he had witnessed in the girls’ dormitory that night was something he would remember for a long time.

No different from a quarrel with rural shrews.

“If we can’t win, get ready to run with a weighted load until you drop,” Xu Qigang commanded with an imposing expression, then turned and disappeared into the night.

“Yes! Captain, I guarantee the task will be completed,” Dai Bin saluted Xu Qigang’s departing figure with the utmost respect.

The Sheng’s third family in Shixi Town hadn’t gone to bed late either. Since dinner, Sheng Laosan had been sitting on the kang, smoking his pipe.

Shen Luhua was beside him, sewing shoe soles, her expression much calmer than at noon.

Sheng An was changing the water for the bean sprouts. As the weather turned colder, the water temperature required for the bean sprouts became ever more crucial. She frowned and decided to write a letter to Sheng Ning for advice.

“An’an, write a letter to your sister tomorrow,” Sheng Laosan tapped his pipe against the table before calmly suggesting.

“Write what?” Sheng An put down the ladle in her hand, speaking discontentedly: “Did you really agree with the Xu family? I don’t think it’s a good idea, considering they were the ones who refused in the first place. It was bad enough that my sister was humiliated. Now I can’t even lift my head in the village.”
