An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 43 "The Demeanor of a King"

The room was silent as everyone waited for Commander Peng to come to his senses and rescind his immature suggestion. Suddenly, the sound of a teacup hitting the table rang out.

Before anyone could react, they heard Commander Peng Mouston say with a hint of excitement, "Didn't you say last time that there was a heroine among the medics of the 624th Regiment? Her name was Chu... Chu Yao, right? Why don't we include her too?"

Commander Wang: "..."

Well! Not only did they fail to dissuade him, but they also got another one involved.

Less than five minutes later, Chu Yao was summoned to the office by Commander Wang's men.

Commander Peng first verbally praised Chu Yao for her outstanding performance in the previous activity of helping the people, and then proposed to ask her to participate in this field training assessment.

To everyone's surprise, Chu Yao did not hesitate at all and immediately expressed her determination: "Chu Yao will resolutely obey all arrangements made by the team without any objection!"

His expression was so resolute, it was as if he were about to join the Party.

Meng Youyou: "..."

"June 24th is truly a place where hidden talents abound! Everyone's got a Bear Grylls!"

After receiving the reply he had been waiting for, Commander Peng nodded with satisfaction and looked at Meng Youyou with eager eyes.

What could Meng Youyou do when she was stuck in this predicament?
A smile that looked more like a grimace stretched across his face as he replied, his words contradicting his true feelings, "Me too, I'll follow the organization's arrangements."

……

After the meeting, everyone left the office one after another. Meng Youyou stood in the corridor but did not see Huo Qingshan.

He doesn't seem to have come out yet?
Meng Youyou deliberately dawdled and delayed until everyone else had left, then quietly crept to the office door to eavesdrop, trying to find out what they were talking about inside.

All that could be heard was Commander Peng's furious, one-sided scolding, and finally, his exasperated shout, "Get the hell out of here!"

Before Meng Youyou could react, the door was pulled open from the inside with great force, yet she remained in a half-squatting position, making her look incredibly stealthy.

Huo Qingshan walked out with a stern face.

After the two returned to the office, Huo Qingshan's first words were: "Don't be stubborn. If you're scared, just tell Commander Peng the truth. It's not shameful, and no one will laugh at you."

A warm feeling washed over Meng Youyou, tinged with a sweet scent. She tentatively asked, "So, you stayed in the office just now and argued with Commander Peng about this?"

Huo Qingshan seemed somewhat surprised, as if he hadn't expected her focus to be on this. After a pause, he still didn't answer the question, but instead continued, "The wilderness training assessment is much tougher than you imagine. The hardship is secondary; the primitive jungle assessment area we've chosen this time will have far more and more frightening species of creatures than those you encountered in the mountains last time. And it will be very dangerous..."

Meng Youyou, on a whim, instinctively retorted, "Isn't it you who's here?"

He regretted it immediately after saying it and wanted to bite off his tongue.

Huo Qingshan's eyes darkened, a flickering light within them. "What did you say?"

Meng Youyou tried to salvage the situation: "What I meant was that Commander Peng had already assigned roles. I was playing the role of an intelligence agent for the Red Team, and I was being controlled by the Blue Team, while you were the captain of the Red Team. As long as you successfully rescue me and escort me back safely, that's all that matters. I trust you!"

Huo Qingshan remained silent for a long time before finally asking, "Are you really sure about this?"

Meng Youyou nodded seriously, "Mm".

……

On the day of the oath-taking ceremony, the sky was overcast, with thick clouds piled up, almost obscuring the sun. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a slight coolness as it brushed against Meng Youyou's face.

On the parade ground, the neat rows of soldiers resembled rows of green steel matrices. The soldiers stood tall and solemn, their military flags fluttering in the wind, making a whistling sound.

Huo Qingshan, dressed in a crisp military uniform, walked steadily from one side of the formation.

As she walked past Meng Youyou, she looked at his profile, but he didn't look at her.

Huo Qingshan stood on the stage, looking straight ahead, his feet firmly apart, heels together, knees straight. He quickly raised his right arm, the movement precise and powerful, his fingertips lightly touching the edge of his hat.

Immediately afterwards, a loud and powerful male voice resounded throughout the camp.

"Comrades! Today we gather here to begin a field combat skills assessment and training competition."

The land where we stand is a vital fortress on the border, a position we must defend with our lives.

Every inch of this land carries the trust of our motherland and the expectations of our people. We must forge an indomitable fighting spirit and hone our superb combat skills with sweat and blood, demonstrating the indomitable will and outstanding strength of our 624 Border Defense Force in this competition, so that our motherland and people can rest assured!
National power and military might, behold the Southwest!
Abandon illusions, prepare for battle!

Meng Youyou stood below the stage, looking up at the man on it. His head was straight, his face resolute, his eyes determined, and his words were forceful. At this moment, he felt somewhat unfamiliar to her; it was as if she had never seen this side of him before.

Arrogant, fearless, spirited, and with an air of absolute confidence, he is like an invincible and unbeatable "king".

Thick clouds may block the sun's rays, but nothing can conceal its brilliance. It commands willing submission, inspiring warriors to charge into battle without regard for hardship.

……

From the start of the assessment until now, Meng Youyou's hands and feet have been tied.

Meng Youyou felt she had been tricked and met someone even better at deceiving her than herself. Sure enough, people who can become teachers are not ordinary people.

What? You just need to stay put in the Blue Army's camp and wait for the Red Army to come and rescue you?
Nobody told her that as a prisoner of war, her hands and feet would be tied up while she slept!

The first night seemed calm and peaceful.

The rope was tied very tightly, and the pain in her wrists and ankles made it difficult for Meng Youyou to sleep soundly.

The thick, inky night enveloped the tent completely, and Meng Youyou was half-asleep, vaguely hearing some faint noises.

I initially thought it was just a hallucination caused by exhaustion, but the "rustling sound" kept stopping and starting... starting and stopping, making it hard to tell whether it was real or not.

Before she could investigate further, the tent was suddenly flung open, and a dark figure, carrying the chill of the night, rushed in, swift as a ghost, exuding a murderous aura.

In the blink of an eye, the man was standing in front of Meng Youyou, tall and imposing in the darkness.

Meng Youyou instinctively curled back, and in her terror, she opened her mouth to scream, but the next second a rough and strong hand covered the lower half of her face.

It couldn't make a sound.

Meng Youyou stared wide-eyed in horror. In the darkness, the man's face was covered in paint, making it impossible to see his facial features.

But in the instant their eyes met, Meng Youyou pierced through the thick chaos and recognized those captivating eyes.
