Chapter 36

Zhihua was also shocked by her icy gaze and stepped directly into the trap set by Bai Yan: “You, what do you mean?”

“Don’t you understand? Then I will mercifully explain to you that we didn’t collide just now. It was you who deliberately tried to knock me onto the ice skates.”

Bai Yan seemed to be afraid that Zhihua was not smart enough to understand, so she spoke slowly, word by word.

But it was very clear, “You also know that I was specially approved to join the team. Since we are in the same unit, we can be called comrades. You deliberately harmed your comrades in the team. Should we go to the chief uncle to have this crime judged clearly?”

Xu Qingqing pinched Zhihua’s hand without leaving any trace.

This pinch is all a warning.

She shuddered and tried to remain calm. “Don’t slander me. It was because you stood still that I couldn’t stop and I didn’t believe I bumped into you. Don’t accuse me of anything.”

“That’s right. You don’t have eyes behind you. How can you slander others and say that Zhihua bumped into you on purpose?”

Bai Yan laughed in anger, her eyes full of contempt, “I don’t have eyes behind me, but I have a brain.”

The fear of almost being disfigured was still lingering in her heart, and Bai Yan couldn’t swallow this.

She crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes seemed to hide a dagger, “I won’t tell you why a pair of ice skates appeared on the ice just now by chance, let’s just talk about whether you hit me on purpose. If it was an accidental collision, according to the laws of mechanics, you would have fallen in the opposite direction of me. But look at the marks on the ice yourself, the direction of your skates was straight towards me, and after you fell, the marks on the ice were from front to back, proving that you fell in the same direction as me.”

The dagger flew out of its sheath and stabbed straight into Zhihua’s heart.

“You…you are talking nonsense!”

Bai Yan pursed her red lips tightly, looking down at Zhihua with a huge sense of oppression, “I am talking nonsense? Have you ever been to school? This is the most basic law of mechanics, which was taught in junior high school. Don’t you understand?”

“Don’t bully me because I haven’t been to school…”

“Oh!” Bai Yan sneered, “So you really haven’t read any books!”

Lu Jili burst out laughing and stabbed Bai Yan in the back: “Sister Yan, you guessed right. Last time the team did a survey on cultural level, it seemed that the cultural level of the art class was below average.”

There happened to be students from the neighboring middle school watching, and they echoed, “This sister is right, I think you guys were the ones who hit me on purpose!”

Zhihua was scared because she was relying on Xu Qingqing’s power to bully others.

When he really ran into a tough guy, he panicked and asked Xu Qingqing for help, “Qingqing, you have to help me, I listened to you…”

Xu Qingqing shook her hand away in disdain and cursed in a low voice, “Why are you panicking? You didn’t hit anyone on purpose! Don’t startle me and start talking nonsense!”

She rolled her eyes, raised her head and said to Bai Yan: “Comrade Bai Yan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want!”

“Are you talking nonsense? Let’s go back to the team and explain it clearly in front of the leader.”

“Okay, Zhihua did nothing wrong, and there is no need to be afraid of confronting you in front of Uncle Lu. But, Comrade Bai Yan, I’m afraid you don’t know the rules of the brigade yet? Before you go to see Uncle Lu, shouldn’t you first explain why you can leave the brigade.”

Bai Yan frowned, not knowing what she was up to.

She turned her head and just heard Lu Jili curse “fuck” inwardly.

“Captain Lu, what does she mean by this?” Bai Yan leaned close to him and asked in a low voice.

Lu Jili apologized, “Sister Ayan, I’m sorry, I overlooked this and she caught me!”

He explained to Bai Yan quickly and quietly.

Today’s brigade does not have strict requirements for going out, and non-commissioned officers with titles such as Meng Hechuan and Lu Jili can enter and exit relatively freely.

Ordinary team members can have two days of free vacation time per month as long as they report.

However, such benefits also have prerequisites. The leave system is only available to team members who have officially passed the identity review.

In addition, comrades who want to go out need to obtain the consent of the squad leader, and they need to apply for a leave form regardless of whether it is before or after.

But Bai Yan had just joined the team, and although her identity had been checked, the formalities had not yet been completed.

Strictly speaking, she is not a formal team member.

In addition, there were previously few positions for translators like her, and because there was no one in place, the position was cancelled.

For a while, the organization was not sure which team to assign Bai Yan to.

She is now a person in a no-man’s land.

Naturally, no one would write approval on her outing list.

Their outing today seemed to be fine.

But if Xu Qingqing and Zhihua insist that Bai Yan’s going out violates the team regulations, not only will Bai Yan be punished, but Meng Hechuan and Lu Jili, who brought her out, will also be implicated.

“What kind of punishment will there be?”

Lu Jili got a headache when he thought of the team’s punishment rules. “There will definitely be punishment, such as criticism through a notice, or being unable to leave the house for a few months. In addition, my old man will definitely not let me off easily. He will definitely make Ah Chuan and I write self-criticism reports and give us corporal punishment…”

Although the main reason for going out today was to help Meng Hechuan buy study books at the bookstore, Bai Yan had to admit in her heart that she did want to go out for fun.

And I really had a lot of fun.

It’s even rare to see a different side of Meng Hechuan other than the old-fashioned and mean one.

Bai Yan would feel bad if the conflict between herself and Zhihua was brought to the attention of the leader, and then implicated him and Lu Jili.

She gritted her teeth, her beautiful jaw was straightened into a line, and the five fingers folded at her sides were so hard that the knuckles turned white.

Xu Qingqing seemed to have guessed Bai Yan’s thoughts and decision, and raised her eyebrows proudly, “How is it? Are you still going to go find Uncle Lu with Zhihua?”

Bai Yan’s face turned pale, “…Forget it, a dragon should not fight a snake…”

Zhihua’s face relaxed, and he rushed to Xu Qingqing’s side, praising her fiercely: “Qingqing, you are really good. You dealt with her in just a few words!”

Bai Yan didn’t want to stay and listen to the girls from the art troupe class continue to flatter her, so she was about to turn around and leave.

Meng Hechuan, who was being used as a human support by her, did not move.

Bai Yan glanced at him and said, “What’s the matter? Chief Engineer Meng isn’t leaving? Do you want to stay and chat with Comrade Xu? If so, I won’t bother you anymore and will leave first.”

“Bai Yan, it seems that you really didn’t read the book I gave you before seriously. You easily give up halfway. After you go back this time, I hope you can calm down and study hard.”

“Meng Hechuan, are you okay? Why are you here to give me an ideological education class at this time?”

Bai Yan was already filled with anger, and her tone became harsh.

Didn’t Meng Hechuan figure out why he didn’t bother with those people in Zhihua?

Doesn’t he know that I’m doing this to avoid causing him trouble?
