When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 146 The girl who goes straight for the ball is amazing!
Ten minutes later, the squad leader of the eighth squad was already quite drunk.

"Good buddies, good buddies!"

"Five champions, six six six!"

"The Bayi Bar..."

"Go away, go away! Someone from Class 8, come and carry your class monitor away. He's drunk to the point of being a 'Ba Yi Gang' (a type of strong liquor) and he's still trying to act tough!"

Third Squad Deputy Liu Fei pulled the Eighth Squad Leader aside and sat down opposite Xu Ge. "Come on, let's try it out, how about playing fifty-five-twenty?"

The onlookers all turned to look at Xu Ge.

Xu Ge's skill in playing rock-paper-scissors just now truly amazed everyone.

Lin Wan, also quite interested, rested her chin on her hand, genuinely curious about where Xu Ge had learned this skill.

Li Dongshui originally wanted to remind Liu Fei, but after thinking about it, he remained silent.

Xu Ge readily agreed, laughing, "No problem, as long as you don't cheat, I'll drink you until you're convinced!"

Liu Fei rolled up his sleeves: "Whoever cheats is the son of a bitch!"

Five minutes later, Liu Fei was carried off the bus.

"I want to play with you two little bees!"

"let me try!"

"Next, next!"

Twenty minutes later, Xu Ge, feeling a bit thirsty, picked up his cup, took a small sip, and looked at everyone: "Anyone else?"

Whoops!

Everyone immediately dispersed.

Fueled by alcohol, Lin Wan grabbed Xu Ge's arm and said, "I want to play too!"

Xu Ge: "Are you sure?"

Lin Wan: "But I don't know how to play rock-paper-scissors. Can you teach me?"

"Dr. Lin, it's okay if you don't know how to play rock-paper-scissors. You can play with him. It's easy," Li Dongshui suggested earnestly.

The veterans all kept their faces tense and remained silent, but Niu Sanxian couldn't help but say, "Auntie, maybe we should just forget about it..."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Lin Wan glared at him, and Niu Sanxian immediately fell silent.

Fine, I don't care anymore!

"How about we play rock-paper-scissors, like Li Dongshui suggested?" Lin Wan asked Xu Ge.

Xu Ge nodded: "Come on!"

"Rock-paper-scissors!"

"Huh? This round doesn't count. Best of three, let's continue!"

"No, no, best of five!"

"Best of seven, let's go again!"

Lin Wan gradually got carried away, gesturing to Xu Ge as she stood up from her chair, then slumped back down.

"Can't you let me win just once?" Lin Wan said, both amused and exasperated.

Before Xu Ge could speak, Li Dongshui reminded him again, "Dr. Lin, you just lost seven rounds, so you have to drink seven cups."

Lin Wan: ? ? ?
Guo Yuanshuai laughed and cursed, "You little brat, you just love watching the show, don't you?"

"Xu Ge, Dr. Lin has had a bit too much to drink. Take her for a walk outside to get some fresh air. We'll go to your sister-in-law's place for fish balls later."

"it is good!"

Xu Ge stood up and led Lin Wan out of the cafeteria.

There wasn't much to see outside the camp gate. On one side of the road were rows of barracks, and on the other side was an endless expanse of white Gobi Desert.

However, all the courtyards were filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, so they didn't feel deserted at all.

The two strolled slowly along the cement road. Lin Wan stopped and asked, "It's Chinese New Year today, did you call your parents?"

"not yet."

"Then go ahead and call. Your parents are probably thinking about you right now."

"Ok!"

Xu Ge took out his phone and found several missed calls and messages, all from his mother, Bai Jing. He immediately called back via video.

Pick up in seconds over there.

"Mom, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Okay, okay, my son is fine too!"

Bai Jing and Xu Zhijun were sitting on the sofa, seemingly watching TV.

"Xiao Ge, how was your first time spending Chinese New Year in the army?"

"What a great mom!"

"Your dad sent you a red envelope with lucky money, remember to accept it."

"Ok!"

"Hey, where are you? What are you doing outside..."

"Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt! I'm sending you my New Year's greetings!" Lin Wan suddenly leaned over, smiling and waving at the screen.

"Oh, good, good!"

Bai Jing and Xu Zhijun immediately sat up straight. "Xiao Ge, which girl is this? Quickly introduce her!"

"Mom, this is Dr. Lin... This is Lin Wan, my superior in the army!" Xu Ge originally wanted to say Dr. Lin, but fearing that his parents would worry, he changed his name.

Lin Wan naturally understood what Xu Ge meant and said with a smile, "Uncle and Aunt, I am not a commander, but Xu Ge's comrade-in-arms."

Bai Jing was somewhat surprised: "Wow, you have female soldiers there too? That girl is so beautiful!"

“What female soldier? She’s an officer. Didn’t you hear Xiao Ge call him ‘commander’?” Xu Zhijun reminded him from the side.

Lin Wan took the phone from Xu Ge's hand and said, "Our unit had a dinner party tonight, and everyone had a little to drink. We just came out for some fresh air. Look, this is the Sixth Company's barracks..."

Lin Wan walked and talked on her phone, oblivious to everything else, leaving Xu Ge to follow behind.

A short while later, Lin Wan was laughing non-stop on the phone, seemingly having a very pleasant conversation with Bai Jing.

When the phone was finally back in Xu Ge's hands, before he could even say two words, Xu Zhijun said impatiently, "Alright, alright, you go for a walk with Xiao Wan. Your mother and I are going to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Zhao Yazhi is coming out!"

Snapped!
The call was hung up.

Xu Ge: ...

"What did you say to my parents? Why were you laughing so happily?"

In fact, with Xu Ge's current hearing ability, he had of course heard the contents of the previous phone call; he was just making conversation out of nothing.

At this moment, the two of them somehow ended up in a narrow passage on the side of the barracks, where the streetlights were blocked and the light was dim.

"Of course I'm praising you! Would I say anything bad about you during the New Year?" Lin Wan put her hands in her trench coat pockets and smiled at Xu Ge. "Looks like your parents have a pretty good impression of me!"

Xu Ge didn't know if Lin Wan was really drunk or if she was just expressing her true feelings under the influence of alcohol, but he felt that her eyes were particularly bright tonight, and she spoke more approachably than before.

"Why did you decide to spend the New Year with us? Is it Niu Sanxian...?"

"I came here specifically to spend New Year's Eve with you!" Lin Wan boldly looked directly at Xu Ge.

Xu Ge was instantly moved, and he suddenly made an even bolder move, taking Lin Wan's hand out of his coat pocket and holding it.

Lin Wan's face flushed red instantly, but she didn't say anything or refuse; she just looked at Xu Ge expectantly.

Xu Ge only felt that Lin Wan's hands were very soft and warm.

When I squeezed it a little harder, I could feel the hardness of the bones in my hand.

Even if Xu Ge is clueless, Lin Wan has already said it, so even a fool would know what it means.

What's more, Xu Ge thinks that girls who are straightforward are just amazing!
So, he looked directly into Lin Wan's eyes, preparing to respond: "Lin Wan, I..."

"Auntie, the class monitor said it's time to leave... Oh, you guys are here!"

Niu Sanxian peeked out from the corner of the wall and immediately saw the two hands clasped together. He quickly covered his eyes.

"Oh dear, I didn't see anything, you guys continue!"

Lin Wan blushed even more and tried to pull her hand back, but Xu Ge grabbed it tightly.

"Let go quickly, someone will see us!" Lin Wan whispered reproachfully.

Xu Ge turned his head and glanced at Niu Sanxian; his head was already gone. He said, "I won't let him go. He's already gone..."

Before he could finish speaking, five or six heads popped out from behind the wall, all looking in his direction.

Even Xu Ge blushed, and the two finally parted their hands.

. . .

. . .

On the way to the family compound, the others walked ahead, laughing and joking, while Xu Ge and Lin Wan followed slowly behind.

"Where are you staying tonight?" Xu Ge asked.

Lin Wan: "Your company commander had arranged a reception room for me, but Sister Xing told me during dinner that I would be staying at her place tonight."

Xu Ge looked a little embarrassed: "Does that mean my class vice-class monitor will have to come back to sleep in the dorm again today? He was saying this morning that he hadn't handed in his homework for a long time."

Lin Wan was taken aback: "What do you mean by 'handing in homework'?"

Xu Ge just smiled and didn't say anything.

Lin Wan quickly realized what was happening, blushed, and whispered, "I'm only staying one night. I'll go back tomorrow."

Xu Ge then remembered to ask Lin Wan about her family situation: "Where are you going back to?"

"Night City!"

Aren't you going home for the Chinese New Year?

"I'll be on duty on the third day of the Lunar New Year. I'll go back after I finish my shift."

Xu Ge turned to look at her: "So how are you going to get back tomorrow?"

Lin Wan replied naturally, "I've already asked. Uncle Zhang is also going to Night City tomorrow, and I'll ride in his car."

"That Uncle Zhang?"

"Your brigade commander."

Xu Ge: !!!
As the group walked to the vicinity of the regimental headquarters and was about to turn into the family compound, a white figure suddenly darted over and pounced directly on Xu Ge!
"Ah!" Lin Wan exclaimed in surprise.

"Aww!"

The little dog leaped and pounced into Xu Ge's arms, opening its mouth wide as if to bite, but just before it could bite, it stuck out its tongue and licked his face.

"Hahaha, you little rascal, you're quite the scarier now!" Xu Ge laughed and scolded, holding the little dog. "Wow, you've gained quite a bit of weight!"

Lin Wan looked at Xiao Siquan with surprise: "Xu Ge, is this the little dog that climbed into the car to find you last time?"

"Yes, its name is Baihu, and it's a military dog ​​now!"

"Wow, it's grown so big!" Lin Wan leaned closer. "Can I touch it?"

"of course can!"

Xu Ge patted Xiao Siquan's head, "Don't scare people, you hear me?"

The little dog looked at Xu Ge, then at Lin Wan, sniffed, and barked twice at Lin Wan.

Xu Ge put the little dog on the ground, and Lin Wan squatted down. The dog immediately rubbed against her.

Shi Xing, who was standing nearby, was also very curious. After petting it a couple of times, she looked at Du Hu, who had just walked over, and said, "Little Hu, is this the military dog ​​you brought? It's really rare to see a white one!"

“That’s right, sister-in-law, its name is White Tiger, and it’s grown up with us since it was a cub!” Du Hu said with a smile.

Shi Xing laughed: "Then from now on I'll call you Big Tiger and it Little Tiger, what do you say, Little Tiger?"

"Woof! Woof!"

The little dog sensed the kindness of the people around it and immediately barked happily twice.

Lin Wan liked it more and more as she looked at it, and kept teasing the little dog.

Guo Yuanshuai waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go upstairs first, it's too cold outside."

The living room of the two-bedroom apartment wasn't big, so Guo Yuanshuai directed everyone to move the coffee table into the room and sit on the floor. Since there was heating, it wasn't cold.

Shi Xing brought out various snacks, and everyone ate, watched TV, and played cards.

With Du Hu and his group making up the eight people, enough for two tables, Xu Ge and Lin Wan went to the kitchen to help Shi Xing make dumplings and fish balls.

Around midnight, bowls of steaming dumplings and fish balls were served, and everyone sat around them, exchanging auspicious greetings to ring in the new year.

Crackling!

Explosions came from outside, and colorful fireworks began to light up the night sky.

Lin Wan exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, someone's setting off fireworks outside!"

Li Dongshui ran to the balcony with her bowl and took a look. She came back and said, "It's Engineer Xu playing with a few female soldiers downstairs. Look at how many fireworks they have."

Lin Wan asked curiously, "Which XCMG?"

Guo Yuanshuai: "It's the pilot who went to the hospital with me last time."

Xu Ge asked Lin Wan, "Do you want to play too?"

Lin Wan nodded: "It's a pity we don't have any here. I forgot to buy some when I came."

Li Dongshui took a bite of the fish ball, his mouth burning from the heat, and he could only breathe out as he mumbled, "You can ask Xu Ge to ask Engineer Xu for it. They have a good relationship. Engineer Xu even gave him a gift last time!"

The room fell silent.

Lin Wan smiled and looked at Xu Ge without saying a word.

Xu Ge felt like strangling Li Dongshui right now, and said with a dark face, "Fireworks are for kids. We're all adults, we don't play with that!"
