Chapter 67: Overdoing something and getting caught in one's own trap
"Hey, are you planning to desert?" Xu Yan frowned.
"Whatever you say, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'm going to quit!" Luo Yifei raised his eyebrows, determined to get an explanation.
"Can you please be reasonable? You were the one who peeked at the beautiful officer, and you were also the one who criticized her. We didn't pull you there, so why do you want us to explain?" Xu Yan explained.
"I don't care!" Luo Yifei was playing dirty. Since he couldn't win the argument with Xu Yan, he didn't want to reason with him. He just went straight to the point of arguing to the death, insisting that he give an explanation.
Seeing that Luo Yifei was not giving up and kept pursuing Xu Yan, Jiang Danian couldn't stand it anymore and took the blame, "Yifei, I'm sorry, actually this is not Xu Yan's fault, you should blame me!"
When Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and almost fainted from anger. He once again deeply realized how important it is to have a smart teammate.
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates. This sentence is so insightful.
Even when he went to Luo Yifei to seek an explanation before, he repeatedly told Jiang Danian not to admit it. Who would have known... he actually admitted it on his own initiative.
How could he admit to such a thing? He had to insist that he had no knowledge of it. Luo Yifei had no evidence anyway, and the two sides could just argue about it. But once he admitted it, it would be a completely different matter!
As expected, upon hearing Jiang Danian's admission, Luo Yifei flew into a rage, "Okay, you really did know, and you really tricked me. The three of us went to see a beautiful woman together, knowing that she was coming from behind, but you actually left me behind and ran away without a word, causing me to be caught red-handed and punished like a dog. You are so disloyal!"
"Mule, things are not what you think. Let me explain..."
"There's nothing to say to people like you who have no loyalty. I'm not going to play with you anymore. Go whoever you want to do is fine." Luo Yifei was furious. He waved his hand to interrupt Xu Yan's words and left angrily.
"Mule...Yifei...Brother Fei..."
Xu Yan glared at Jiang Danian, then quickly chased after Luo Yifei, explaining to him with a smirk on his face, using several different names along the way. He chased him all the way to the restaurant and sat down next to Luo Yifei.
"Brother Fei, please listen to my explanation. Actually, it hurts me to do this. What are we? We are comrades-in-arms and brothers. If there is any way, I will not abandon you." Xu Yan said with saliva flying, and started to lie again.
Seeing him so shameless, Luo Yifei became more and more unhappy the more he listened. Finally, he raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "Are you sad? I think you are happy!"
Xu Yan was not at all unhappy when Luo Yifei refuted him sarcastically. Instead, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He was not afraid of his sarcasm, but was afraid that he would remain silent. As long as he was willing to speak, he would have a way to make him calm down.
"Brother Fei, you misunderstood us too deeply." Xu Yan shook his head pretending to be sad, facing Luo Yifei's suspicious eyes, and said: "Yes, we left you behind and tired you to be punished by that evil woman, but there is nothing we can do about it. When we found her, she was already behind us, with her eyes wide open and murderous, staring at us straight. I wanted to remind you, but I have to have a chance!"
"As soon as I saw this, I knew it was all over. I knew I had to be punished. I thought, let's just punish, let's all be punished together..."
Xu Yan's words were very impressive, but Luo Yifei didn't believe a single punctuation mark. He curled his lips and sneered, saying pointedly: "But in the end you still ran away!"
"Yes, we ran away, not because we were afraid of being punished, but because there were more important things waiting for us to do. The recruit period is almost over, and Da Nian's training has just started to improve. Every minute and every second is precious to us. We have invested too much effort in Da Nian, and we must not let it go to waste. You have slandered that evil woman behind her back, so you must be punished, whether I remind you or not, but Da Nian and I still have a chance, so I took the initiative and took the risk of being misunderstood by you and left with Da Nian. I know this is a bit unkind, but there is nothing we can do. For the sake of the overall situation, we can only do this..."
Xu Yan's face was filled with grief and helplessness. His performance was so vivid that even a clay figure would be moved. However, Luo Yifei was not moved. On the contrary, he was angry. "For the sake of the so-called overall situation, you guys abandoned me and let me be punished alone?"
"You only know that you are being punished, and it is very painful and difficult to endure, but do you know that the self-blame and pain in my heart are ten times or a hundred times greater than yours..." Xu Yan shouted loudly, subduing Luo Yifei, and suddenly his expression changed, and he said earnestly: "I'm sorry, I did something wrong, but this was the best choice under the circumstances. It is better for one person to be punished than three people. This way, the training for the New Year will not be interrupted, and when you are punished, we can also take care of you."
Xu Yan paused, his eyes turned and fell on Luo Yifei's hand holding the chopsticks, and said: "Just like now, your hands can't hold the chopsticks, eating has become a problem, our role is reflected, we can help you feed, if the three of us are like this, we can't even take care of each other."
After finishing his words in one breath, Xu Yan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into Luo Yifei's bowl.
For a moment, Luo Yifei was moved, but when he thought of the punishment he had received and his twitching chicken claw hand, his eyes turned cold again, and he snorted, "Go away, I don't want you to care, and I have nothing to say to people like you who have no loyalty."
Seeing that he couldn't convince Luo Yifei no matter how hard he tried, Xu Yan became impatient and slammed his chopsticks on the table, saying, "You're not done yet, are you?"
Seeing Xu Yan suddenly get angry, Jiang Danian quickly put down his chopsticks and called out to him in a low voice, fearing that Xu Yan would get into a bigger argument with Luo Yifei out of anger.
Luo Yifei was stunned at first, then he flew into a rage. He was the one being punished, so why was Xu Yan so angry? He glared at Xu Yan and said, "Why, you left me alone and caused me to be punished, and you think you are right?"
"You were punished, but you brought it upon yourself. Even if you want to vent your anger on someone, you should go find Zhong Ming. She punished you, not us. Why are you nagging us here? If you really have the guts, go find her to settle the score, instead of threatening us here!"
Luo Yifei was choked and said with a red face and thick neck: "I threatened you, so what? You have the ability, right? If you have the ability, you can help me out! I'm going to leave it here today. If you don't help me get back the place, you can find someone else for the training in the future. I won't serve you anymore."
Xu Yan originally wanted to stimulate Luo Yifei, and then slowly take his time to persuade him, but he stimulated him too much. Luo Yifei became angry and embarrassed and put forward such a condition, which stunned him.
