Girls und War

"What did you say?" Chunxiang asked curiously.

"Let's go together later. I'll take good care of you when we get back. Just take a shower and wait in bed." Smiley Face said very confidently.

"???" Chunxiang looked confused.

Of course, these words were made up by Smiley Face, but the first sentence was indeed correct.

Natsuki was also planning to go to the training ground with Haruka and Smiley after the rehearsal.

519. The Wolf Cub in the Snowy Area

There were already quite a few people standing on the podium, not only from the flower zone, but also girls from other battle zones.

Besides girls, there are even boys!

A group of people were standing in front of the podium in formal attire, listening to what the person in charge was saying. Xia Shu, dressed in an athlete's outfit, walked between them, looking a little out of place.

"Supervisor, I've brought Xia Shu here." The girl from the snowy area ran to the person in charge and said breathlessly.

The supervisor glanced at Xia Shu and said nothing.

He simply pointed at her clothes and said, "Remember to wear formal attire on the opening day. I don't think you'd want to go on stage to receive the award in this outfit, would you?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Xia Shu nodded quickly, and the supervisor continued to explain the award ceremony process to everyone.

Natsuki looked in the crowd and saw Dragon huddled in the corner.

She walked forward and stared at Doragon for a moment without saying a word.

Seeing that he couldn't pretend any longer, Doragon pretended to look around, then turned around and said in surprise as if he had just seen Xia Shu, "What a coincidence? You are here to receive the award too?"

Xia Shu narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything.

Doragon coughed awkwardly again and muttered quietly, "Forgot about that. I thought I told you?"

"Did you say that?" Xia Shu was even afraid that he had remembered it wrong, and he went over all the memories related to Dragon in his mind.

Nowhere was there a specific warning given to Natsuki called a "Captain's Order."

"Well... it seems not. But aren't you here now? It's okay, it's okay." Doragon avoided the question and showed no sign of remorse.

Faced with such a disappointing captain, Xia Shu could only remain silent.

While the ski area supervisor was explaining the award ceremony, she carefully observed the people receiving the awards.

She didn't recognize most of them, especially the boys from the cold weapon battlefield and the space warfare officers in dark blue uniforms.

But Xia Shu knew one thing these people had in common, which was that the military medals they had received were all silver-rimmed or above.

As he was watching, Xia Shu suddenly noticed that a girl was paying attention to him out of the corner of her eye in a very covert way.

But when she looked over, the girl looked away and stopped looking at her.

Xia Shu noticed that the girl was a captain and her war zone happened to be the host war zone, the snow zone.

Xia Shu confirmed that he did not know the girl, but he felt a hint of hostility from her.

This made her wonder if she had offended this guy.

After thinking about it carefully, the only chance for him to come into contact with the Snow District was the battle in the Earth District Mountains.

Maybe Xia Shu eliminated some of her comrades at that time.

When you think about it this way, the other party's hostility makes sense.

In this situation, Xia Shu had no choice but to try not to talk to the other party to avoid conflict.

Not long after, the ski area supervisor on the stage finished explaining the precautions and arranged for everyone in the audience to simulate the award ceremony in turn.

Xia Shu also went through the motions with them, but she was wearing a sports outfit, which looked awkward no matter how she looked at it.

The supervisor frowned and asked Xia Shu to walk several times, but finally sighed and said, "That's it."

Then it was emphasized again that formal attire should be worn on the opening day.

Natsuki quickly answered yes and gave Dragonon another deadpan glare.

Doragon whistled and looked away, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

By the time they finished their rehearsal, the morning was almost over.

Haruka and Smiley had finished their preparations and were standing on the sidelines waiting for Natsuki and the others to get off work.

The supervisor explained the work arrangements for their group on the opening day and then announced their disbandment.

Natsuki finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked in front of Haruka and Smiley.

"Hahaha, Xia Shu, what's wrong with you? Why are you the only one wearing this outfit? It's too dazzling!" Smiley Face pulled Xia Shu's clothes and mocked him without hesitation.

Xia Shu was also speechless and could only say, "It's not my good captain..."

As he said that, he turned around and looked for his silly captain in the crowd, ready to have a good talk.

But this cowardly captain seemed to have already left in the crowd, and Xia Shu did not see her shadow.

Xia Shu had no choice but to give up.

So the three of them discussed where to go next.

Just then, the girl from the snowy area who had been secretly observing Xia Shu hesitated slightly as she passed by them.

Xia Shu had been keeping an eye on the girl, so he noticed it immediately.

She saw the girl's complicated eyes pass over the faces of the three of them for a moment, then she stopped silently and nodded slightly, as if in greeting.

Without waiting for a response, he turned around and left the area.

Natsuki noticed that Haruka was also observing the girl, so he asked, "Who is she? Do you know her?"

Haruka paused, and just as she was about to answer, Smiley Face said, "Natsuki, why don't you recognize anyone? That's the snow wolf from the snowy area, Snow Wolf Anna."

"She is the Snow Wolf?" Xia Shu was a little surprised.

The girl was quiet and had no aura at all. You couldn't tell at all that she was the world's fourth-ranked ace sniper.

"Alas, a mute oil bottle. The kind that can't even hit a fart with thunder, so boring." Smiling Face said thoughtfully, "What's that called? Yes, iceberg girl. Xia Shu, do you like this style? Then Haruka, you need to change your style."

Natsuki was momentarily lost for words. Haruka, humiliated and furious, shouted, "You're not done yet, are you? You've been making up all this nonsense all day!"

"Hmph, there's no smoke without fire. Do you dare to say that there's really nothing between you two?" The smiling face twisted in a weird way.

"You're looking for a fight!"

Chunxiang said this and started chasing after the smiling face and playing around.

The two of them joked for a while, but then they noticed that Xia Shu looked thoughtful, as if he had encountered some difficult problem.

Then Smiley Face said to Xia Shu again, "What are you thinking about? So absorbed? Are you really attracted to that little wolf cub?"

Xia Shu looked up at the two of them and said in confusion, "I always feel that Anna is very hostile to me. I can't figure out why."

Smiley and Haruka looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"I say, you really don't know, do you?" said to Xia Shu with a smile.

"Know what?" Xia Shu looked confused.

"You've already fought with her." Smiling Face spread out his hands.

"When did it happen?" Xia Shu became more and more confused.

"During the battle for the earth district, didn't you shoot her and cripple her left arm?" Chunxiang added, "It'll take a long time to recover."

"Ah? That's her." Xia Shu suddenly realized.

Chunxiang and Xiaolian both sighed.

It seems that our Miss Xia Shu really never cares about news outside the battlefield.

520. Cold-blooded and ruthless, Xia Shu

After Xia Shu, Haruka and their group of three came out of the central venue, they went to have lunch.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so they went to the training ground of the base together and did some simple competition training.

Haruka and Smiley were planning to give some pointers to Natsuki, who had little experience in major competitions, and teach her some details about the competition.

But seeing Xia Shu's professional movements on the field, he couldn't find any faults at the moment.

Xia Shu did not explain that she had received careful teaching from the academy's sergeant major, but both of them guessed that Xia Shu must have had better teachers.

So I stopped talking too much and causing trouble for others.

After the day's work was over and they had dinner, it was time to rest in the evening.

There was definitely no such thing, so Xia Shu could only play games with Haruka in the dormitory to improve their relationship.

After ignoring the sarcasm of the smiling face a few more times, the day passed like this.

In the next few days, they still had nothing to do.

He could only wander around the base as a specially invited athlete and act as a human photo-taking machine.

Needless to say, Chunxiang, as a veteran player in the flower district, is highly renowned worldwide.

And after several major and minor events, Xia Shu's popularity has gradually increased.

Everyone generally regards her as the next flower district ace who will replace Chunxiang.

As for when Natsuki will be able to truly take the throne, it depends on how long Haruka can hold on.

However, during the time they were hanging out at the base, Xia Shu did run into quite a few old friends.

Like Jack from the Sea District, Kana Yuuki from the Sakura District, etc.

They are all top masters in their respective battle zones.

As more and more people entered the base, the tense atmosphere gradually increased.

Xia Shu also gradually locked himself in the dormitory and began to recuperate.

Haruka originally wanted to retreat like Natsuki, but as the signature figure of the flower district, she was needed to appear in many occasions.

So things are a bit more complicated.

By the last day of this year, the base had finally completed the reception of people from all parties, and the bustling hall suddenly became quiet.

Chunxiang finally finished her various promotional shoots and returned to the dormitory.

Today is my last day of work, and after that I will have a one-month annual leave.

People from all walks of life stopped their work, returned home and began to enjoy the rare holiday.

This is actually a busy period for the entertainment industry.

Although the military is not in the entertainment industry, it also took the opportunity to launch recruitment propaganda.

Otherwise, by next year, if the work is not done properly, the number of recruits will be reduced.

That wouldn't be good for the Generals' Council.

So at this time, it is the turn of the war zone competition.

As an event that competes with traditional sports competitions, its publicity and publicity efforts and the attention it attracts are incomparable to ordinary small programs and evening parties.

A month before the competition started, the Generals' Council began to hang banners and promote the event in various star colonies and major cities.

Whether online or in real life, advertising videos and recommendations have never stopped.

This happens every year, and most people are used to this kind of scene.

Watching this year's lineup details and past years' highlights on New Year's Eve has become a habit for many people at the end of the year.

Although humans now have a very weak sense of regionalization, it is still a very interesting activity to watch competitive games in a certain war zone.

The sense of accomplishment that the lovely girls who support us feel when they win this kind of competition is also unparalleled.

It's like seeing your daughter win the championship at a sports meet.
