Chapter 10: Is This Kid from the Gu Family Abnormal?

After entering the base, everyone lost their names. Their faces were always covered in messy paint, and they called each other by numbers. Since each batch of trainees started their numbering from 0, every batch had a number 17.

Rumor had it that the short 17 was vindictive. When he first entered the base, someone stole his apple, and he not only gave him a good beating but also publicly pointed out that the person had a dent in their buttock. From then on, whenever 17 saw someone with fruit, he would snatch it.

It was said that the dent was left by a wild boar bite.

Since then, everyone in the base feared 17, speculating that he could see through things. If that was the case, his pointing out the dent wasn’t scary. But if one day he pointed out something else about you, that would be frightening.

Fortunately, he hadn’t seen 17 in those two months. 17 was taken out to have his results checked.

At the beginning of the year, it was rumored that someone from the base, codenamed Bluebird, was very powerful in the south. A foreign female spy had installed a wireless bug on his back, and someone had put a bug in his shoe heel, poison in his glasses legs, and a miniature camera in his button, but none of them escaped his notice.

That Bluebird was most likely 17. 17 was from their Eastern base, and according to the timeline, his special training should have ended. He would definitely be serving in the east soon.

If Bluebird was a woman, and if today’s blind date partner was her, then Commander Xie’s grand organization of this blind date, and the South sending Yan Heng, and the old man insisting on him coming, would make sense. The South wanted to use marriage to transfer Bluebird, and the old man wanted to use this to transfer himself and Bluebird together.

If it was her, then the strange expressions on those people’s faces would also make sense.

Soon, it was Yan Heng’s turn.

Gu Huaizhi, who had a sudden realization, patted him on the shoulder: “Brother, good luck.”

Yan Heng raised an eyebrow.

Gu Huaizhi didn’t say anything and ran downstairs.

As soon as Yan Heng entered the room, he was presented with a box of guns. In front of the female comrade sitting on the floor opposite him, there was also a box of guns.

He glanced at it and realized: “Disassemble the gun, or disassemble and reassemble? Whoever wins, you take off your mask, is that right?”

“More or less. Five minutes to disassemble the gun, five minutes to reassemble it, and close your eyes when reassembling.”

Yan Heng nodded.

Ten minutes later, Yan Heng looked at the remaining parts in his hand, then at the assembled gun in front of the other person, and couldn’t help but laugh.

“I lost.”

It seemed he needed to go back to the base and rebuild.

Ye Qinglan nodded: “You’re not bad. I’ve been competing from the first person, from hand-to-hand combat to tying knots, from tying knots to disassembling and reassembling guns. You’re the first one who can still smile after losing.”

As she said this, Commander Xie’s face darkened. He had carefully selected a group of little rascals, winning and losing was common in the military, but they were all so lacking in grace.

“Did they all lose?”

“Yes.”

“Amazing! You’re also the fastest female comrade I’ve seen so far.”

Yan Heng stood up, saluted Commander Xie and the others, and left.

As he left, he felt a little regret. Such a powerful female comrade was rare.

After he left, Ye Qinglan took a stack of papers and crossed them out with a pen.

She said with a smile: “There’s only one left, Gu Huaizhi… his name and mine have similar meanings.”

As soon as Commander Xie heard this, he said: “Xiao Qing, be careful, be careful, if it doesn’t work out this time, I’ll find someone else for you. This kid Huaizhi is not good, he’s too handsome, easy to attract bees and butterflies.”

Did he not understand Old Gu’s intentions? He wanted to be beautiful! Xiao Gu and Xiao Qing, he wouldn’t let them be snatched away! They were both from their military district!

Minister Bai disagreed: “You can’t be prejudiced. Xiao Qing, let’s see first before we say anything, Gu Huaizhi? Where’s Gu Huaizhi?”

He called out several times but no one came in. He couldn’t help but go to the door to check.

At that moment, Gu Huaizhi came rushing in with a large vat from somewhere, attracting many people’s attention along the way. When he was going up the stairs, he bumped into Yan Heng.

Yan Heng: “Brother, what are you…”

Gu Huaizhi didn’t say anything and rushed upstairs.

Minister Bai looked at the person appearing at the corner of the stairs, his eyes gleamed, and his lips twitched.

“Xiao Gu, you…”

“Good morning, Chief, I’m here for the blind date, can I come in?”

Minister Bai could only step aside to let him and his vat in.

Commander Xie and Ye Qinglan both looked towards the door, only to see the man walk in carrying a large vat. After putting down the vat, it just blocked his lower body.

“Good morning, Commander! Good morning, Comrade!”

His voice was very loud.

The two of them looked at him intently.

“Xiao Gu, you… what are you doing?” This operation even baffled Commander Xie.

Gu Huaizhi: “Report, Commander, I feel safe and warm when I hug the vat.”

Well, compared to being seen naked, this was indeed warm.

Commander Xie’s eyes were filled with surprise: Are you sick?

Minister Bai: Is this kid from the Gu family abnormal?

Ye Qinglan laughed inwardly: So this silly one is Xiao Gu!

Two years ago, he was injured and his strength declined. After he recovered, he went back to the base to rebuild. She was not there when he returned. But even though she wasn’t there, there were many rumors about 17 in the base.

She was still young and energetic back then, so she was so high profile when she first arrived.

Gu Huaizhi must have heard those rumors and suspected her identity.

He was quite clever! And he was also quite handsome, the most handsome among the twenty! She had also met his father.

Normally, she doesn’t turn on the perspective. Otherwise, when she opened her eyes every day, all she saw were white bodies, and she couldn’t stand it, especially when some people’s bodies were so eye-catching.

But today…

Man, your silliness has caught my attention.

She glanced at the thick and heavy vat in front of him, and then looked through the vat…

Good!

Then, she ruthlessly checked a box on the paper…

Very big!

The size has caught my attention again.

Commander Xie looked at her pen anxiously and reminded her: “You haven’t competed yet, you should be fair to everyone!”

“Of course, I will!”

She had heard from several people that her strength could be compared to Gu Huaizhi’s, and there was a subtle implication that Gu Huaizhi was stronger than her. As a result, she had always wanted to find an opportunity to compete with Gu Huaizhi. Now that she had finally gotten this chance, how could she give it up?

Gu Huaizhi looked at her, so it wasn’t her scanning up and down that caused those people to blush? It was because they blushed after losing the competition?

Then he wasn’t embarrassed either, it was so warm!

He then asked: “How do you want to compete? Do I only get to see your face after I win? Seeing your face means I’ve been chosen by you?”

“I decide.”

Gu Huaizhi: “…”

Ever since he was told to go on a blind date, he had been bouncing back and forth on the edge of speechless.

“Okay, but even if you choose me, it doesn’t mean I will necessarily choose you.”

“Huh?” Ye Qinglan was puzzled and asked: “Didn’t your old man tell you the rules of the game?”

“No.”

Commander Xie laughed when he heard this. Everyone who came here was told beforehand: Xiao Qing chooses, that’s it.

Old Gu didn’t say anything? Heh, he was delighted!

Ye Qinglan nodded: “Then let’s compete.”

Next, the two of them competed from one-on-one to shooting, from shooting to speed…

The competition venue also changed repeatedly.

The more Gu Huaizhi competed, the more exciting he found it. Ye Qinglan also became more and more excited, and the onlookers were also filled with enthusiasm.
