Chapter 117 - Did I Ask You?
“What rights! Why is it you have a fountain pen as a prize this time? Why are the leaders doing that now?”
Yu Bao’er fiddled with Gu Qingjiu’s fountain pen as she grumbled in a low tone on their way to the infirmary.
It wasn’t anything against Gu Qingjiu, but rather because there wasn’t a prize in the previous competition when she won. The leaders of the camp were so heartless, so she felt a whiff of unjust.
She did not care what the prize was, but the fact that there was one now. So, why did she not get one when she won the previous time!?
Gu Qingjiu looked at her helplessly. “If you like this fountain pen, I don’t mind giving it to you. But the rules of the army are just like this. It’s useless even if you complained.”
Why would the leaders listen to something a new recruit said?
“Hmph. I’m just not satisfied! Aiya, so itchy…”
Yu Bao’er whined as she scratched her wrist.
Her wrist was red all over, and there were even a few red bumps, looking incredibly uncomfortable.
Since there were no gatherings last night, Yu Bao’er took the chance to play at the back of the mountain.
And she came in contact with something which caused her left wrist to itch unbearably.
The two of them wanted to get it checked at Doctor Nan’s.
“Even if it’s itchy, try to bear with it. Don’t scratch it.”
Gu Qingjiu grabbed Yu Bao’er’s wrist as she frowned. “Don’t frequent the back of the mountains. There are all sorts of creatures there. If you ever get caught by the soldiers, let me see how you’re going to deal with that.”
“Okay, fine. Fine. I will just go there less frequently.”
Hearing Gu Qingjiu’s words, Yu Bao’er reassured her quickly.
When they arrived at the infirmary, what a coincidence that Jiang Yu and Xie Ya were there as well.
And now that the numbers were matching, they regarded each other speechlessly.
When the chattery Yu Bao’er saw Jiang Yu and the rest, she immediately became as docile as Lin Daiyu.
“Doctor Nan…”
The way she called out to him gave Gu Qingjiu goosebumps.
Yu Bao’er’s tone extremely disgusted Jiang Yu and the rest.
Xie Ya even looked at Yu Bao’er in disgust.
Since the incident last time, Xie Ya stopped hiding the disdain in her eyes when she looked at them.
And Gu Qingjiu didn’t even know when she had offended this girl.
Not like Gu Qingjiu cared about how others viewed her, though.
Xie Ya not liking her didn’t mean that she had to like her, right?
Nan Yingxuan who was taking a bandage out heard Yu Bao’er. Unsure whether to laugh or to cry, he replied, “What’s the matter?”
He knew Yu Bao’er, too.
When Yu Bao’er was about to say something, she saw Nan Yingxuan walk towards Feng Meiyun with a bandage.
Jiang Yu moved aside and Yu Bao’er saw that Feng Meiyun had an abrasion on her elbow.
Yu Bao’er didn’t bother holding back and instead smiled in glee at her misfortune, but when she spoke, it was about another thing. “Doctor Nan, I don’t know what I came in contact with yesterday. My whole wrist is red, and it itches badly. I wanted to get some ointment to apply to it.”
The smile on her face after she saw Feng Meiyun was too obvious and in a short while, it ignited the fumes at the other party. Xie Ya chuckled coldly. “It seems like you have received your retribution, too!”
And that statement caused Yu Bao’er to erupt instantly. “It’s none of your business. Did I ask you for your opinion?”
Although Xie Ya was strong in martial arts, in Yu Bao’er’s eyes, that was literally all she had.
She really had no idea why Xie Ya was always acting on her high horses.
