Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 114 Support, Honesty, and Standing Up for Justice
"It was fine before, but now..."

Suddenly I'm hungry again.

Chang Ning sat back down and picked up her chopsticks again, looking like she really wasn't full yet.

Seeing that Chang Ning wasn't leaving, Cao Ninghua had no choice but to stay with her, his eyes constantly scanning back and forth between the beautiful woman at the door and Chang Ning.

There's definitely something going on between these two!

Cao Ninghua and Chang Ning have known each other for quite some time, nearly ten years in total, and in all that time, no woman has ever driven Chang Ning to this point.

Generally speaking, Chang Ning is indifferent to women, but today he found that Chang Ning's attitude towards the beautiful woman in front of him was very unusual.

"Get rid of that flirtatious look you're giving me, finish your food and go home!"

Chang Ning felt extremely uncomfortable being looked at like that by his best friend. Besides, he and Tong Youyou weren't even in a romantic relationship; their relationship was completely innocent!
Seeing that Chang Ning was angry and embarrassed, Cao Ninghua was not angry at his attitude.

Such an expression was extremely rare on Chang Ning's usually indifferent face; this was the first time he had seen it in ten years. Interesting!
"Then I'll wait for you."

As she spoke, the woman walked up to Cao Ninghua, who, sensing the situation, quickly stood up and even helped pull out a chair.

Cao Ninghua was unfazed by Chang Ning's murderous glare; no one could stop him from watching the show.

Everyone was speculating about the relationship between the newcomer and Chang Ning, while Chen Hao also watched Chang Ning and the woman with great interest.

He knew the woman's identity even if others didn't; in terms of background, he was indeed no match for her in Donghai City.

Seeing that this woman didn't like others knowing about her, Chen Hao remained seated without making any moves.

When Ye Luoli saw the woman who entered, her face was terribly gloomy. She couldn't understand why the taciturn Chang Ning could win the heart of such a stunning beauty.

Moreover, with women present, she was like a green leaf setting off a flower. In the presence of women, Ye Luoli held absolutely no advantage whatsoever.

Seeing that the woman was actually sitting next to him, and with the surrounding classmates' eyes burning with gossip mixed with jealousy, Chang Ning disliked this atmosphere and wanted to leave.

"Dr. Tong, what do you want with me?"

"What did you call me?"

When Tong Youyou heard Chang Ning address her, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she leaned on Zhuo Yan to get closer to Chang Ning, with the distance between them less than ten centimeters.

A faint fragrance lingered in Chang Ning's nostrils, making him feel uneasy. He had never been so close to a girl in his entire life.

Kindergarten period doesn't count.

"My God! Changning didn't react even though they're so close!"
Those two are definitely having an affair!

Cao Ninghua, who was watching the show from the sidelines, stared wide-eyed, admiring the handsome couple and offering his blessings to his brother.

It's not easy. After all these years, someone has finally managed to tame his good brother.

"Big...Big Sister."

Chang Ning felt her face getting hot.

'Damn it, why am I shy? It must be because of the alcohol, it can't be because of shyness.'

"Hey, this is right!"

Tong Youyou smiled happily when she heard Chang Ning call her "Big Sister". Her eyes crinkled when she smiled, making her look incredibly cute.

"Madam, don't you think it's impolite of you to suddenly barge into our party?"

Ever since Tong Youyou entered the house, Ye Luoli instantly lost the treatment of the protagonist, which was something she could not tolerate.

Perhaps it was her boyfriend Chen Hao's background that gave her confidence, or perhaps she was angered by Tong Youyou and Chang Ning's oblivious interaction, but she actually confronted Tong Youyou.

Chen Hao was stunned by Ye Luoli's sudden outburst. This woman had left her brain at home today and hadn't even seen him, yet she hadn't said anything!

He wanted to strangle Ye Luoli right now, but he couldn't do that now because Tong Youyou's emotionless eyes were looking at him.

Anyone with eyes can see that the relationship between Ye Luoli and Chen Hao is unusual, and Tong Youyou, being intelligent and perceptive, can naturally see it as well.

If it weren't for the connection between Ye Luoli and Chen Hao, Ye Luoli would probably have had a hard time getting out of this mess.

"Chen Hao will give you face today, so keep an eye on your people."

Tong Youyou didn't glance at Ye Luoli once from beginning to end.

What could Chen Hao do? If it were anywhere else, he might be able to run into Tong Youyou, but in Donghai City, it was best to forget about it.

Moreover, they have a business deal to discuss with the Tong family, and if they offend Tong Youyou here, their family will suffer a great loss.

It's not worth it for a woman.

"What's wrong with you! This hotel is owned by a family."

Chen Hao lowered his voice and whispered in Ye Luoli's ear.

Although he wished he could strangle the other person right now, his upbringing taught him that he couldn't lose his temper and had to maintain his composure.

Chen Hao's warning turned Ye Luoli's face pale. She knew she had met her match and huddled in her seat, trying to minimize her presence.

"How about that? I won't let you call me 'Big Sister' for nothing."

Tong Youyou looked at Chang Ning with an attitude that said "you're welcome."

Well, I can't eat this meal anymore.

No one in the room touched their chopsticks; everyone was staring at Chang Ning.

How could Chang Ning possibly eat? Besides, he was already full; he was just making up an excuse when Tong Youyou came in.

"I've finished eating. Is there something you wanted to see me about?"

Chang Ning took out a napkin to wipe her mouth and slightly increased the distance between them before speaking.

Seeing Chang Ning's actions, Tong Youyou frowned almost imperceptibly, but quickly recovered.

She came here specifically to support Chang Ning tonight, but she didn't expect Chang Ning to be so ungrateful.

She received news that Chang Ning was being targeted at her hotel, so she rushed over to try and win him over, but he was completely unmoved.

It's one thing for such a beautiful young woman to stand up for you, but instead of being grateful, she's so cold towards you.

At this moment, Tong Youyou even wanted to pick up the wine glass on the table and splash red wine all over Chang Ning's face!
However, considering that this guy was an essential part of her thesis, Tong Youyou held back.

She thought that once she finished her thesis, she would get as far away from this unromantic guy as possible, so that she might be able to live a few more years!
"Of course I have something to say. I know a fun place, so I want to take you there."

Tong Youyou's relentless attacks, both direct and direct, left Chang Ning feeling overwhelmed!
Having lived two lives, this was the first time Chang Ning had encountered someone as blatantly brazen as Tong Youyou, and he found it extremely difficult to defend himself.

"But I haven't seen my best brother in a long time."

As Chang Ning spoke, he glanced at Cao Ninghua, who was watching the drama unfold, and gestured with his eyes: "For the sake of our friendship of over ten years, lend a hand to your brother!"
Cao Ninghua: Brother, your chance has come, you have to seize it!

"Oh, I have something to do later, you guys chat."

Cao Ninghua didn't give Chang Ning a chance to bargain. After explaining to everyone, she gave Chang Ning a meaningful look and left.

He figured it out: this excessively beautiful woman was clearly after Chang Ning, and as her good brother, he naturally had to help her out.

Chang Ning: Thank you!
Chang Ning could only watch helplessly as Cao Ninghua left with an air of nonchalance.

Can I say I'm not going?

Chang Ning looked into Tong Youyou's bright eyes and said weakly.

If this woman weren't lusting after his body, he would definitely be happy to be friends with Tong Youyou.

But now that he knows this woman has feelings for him, he feels uncomfortable having any contact with her anymore.

Tong Youyou's phoenix eyes widened: "Ha, no way!"

Only then did she act like a pampered young lady, without any inhibitions!
"You guys eat first, I'll take Changning with me."

Chang Ning, who was clearly a head taller than Tong Youyou (1.68m), was dragged away without any resistance.

Chang Ning felt that his departure from that annoying party was a natural progression, and not that he couldn't refuse girls. Just as he wouldn't interact with any woman other than his mother, he also wouldn't refuse a woman who asked him for help.

However, because he doesn't know how to communicate with women and appears very aloof, naturally no woman would ask him for help.

"Can you let me go?"

Chang Ning, who had been pulled into the elevator by Tong Youyou, asked the question.

The frail appearance of the guy in front of her made Tong Youyou wonder if he was the same person as Chang Ning, who was training at the Wolf Fang training ground.

If she hadn't seen Chang Ning's information before he joined Langya, she would have thought this person was Chang Ning's twin brother.

It's hard to connect this person with the warrior who fought fiercely against poachers in the no-man's-land.

"Could it be..."

Tong Youyou discovered the busy point!

Why are you standing so close?!

Faced with Tong Youyou's sudden approach, Chang Ning instinctively leaned back, but they were in an elevator, so where could he hide?

Do you get nervous when you're in contact with the opposite sex?

It was a question, but when Tong Youyou said it, it sounded like a statement.

She assured him, based on her professional medical doctorate, that her sudden approach to Chang Ning was definitely due to nervousness.

Now all of Chang Ning's previous abnormalities could be explained. She had wondered why Chang Ning had been acting strangely when she was with her, and now she knew the reason.

"Yeah, so what? Will it stop me from becoming a special forces soldier for Wolf Fang?"

Chang Ning spoke with conviction. Although his skills did not yet meet the standards of a Wolf Fang special forces soldier, he was still considered a quasi-special forces soldier.

"It depends on which type you are?"
If you're the kind of instructor who trains new recruits in the military, you're certainly capable of the job.

But if we go out on a mission... heh.

The laughter had already conveyed Tong Youyou's meaning.

She is now a soldier in the Wolf Fang unit, so she naturally has some understanding of special forces.

If Chang Ning doesn't overcome this problem, he won't be able to stay in Wolf Fang to train new recruits; he'll be lucky if he doesn't get kicked out of Wolf Fang.

"Ding ~"

The elevator arrived at the first floor.

Chang Ning knew his own situation, but he didn't expect that after making it through the selection training camp, he would be stuck here.

Tong Youyou is right. They face all sorts of enemies. He can't be so nervous that he can't even fire a gun just because the person opposite him is a woman.

The two got out of the elevator, and the doorman handed the car keys to Tong Youyou.

"Get in the car, we should have a talk."

Since Chang Ning has his own problems, Tong Youyou felt she didn't need to beat around the bush anymore and could just be frank and let everyone get what they wanted.

Chang Ning's nervousness around men is, frankly, a psychological problem, and this is easily treatable for a great beauty like her!
"Where are you taking me?"

Chang Ning got into the car and asked, perhaps without even realizing it himself, that he no longer stuttered when talking to Tong Youyou.

"I came here without eating dinner so I could stand up for you."

Chang Ning wanted to say that he didn't need anyone's support, but considering that the other person meant well, he immediately expressed his gratitude to Tong Youyou.

"No need for thanks, I believe you can see what my purpose is."

I'll be frank: give me some blood and hair first, then I'll study them.

In exchange, I'll help you overcome your nervousness around the opposite sex.

Chang Ning would definitely not agree to such a condition. He has too many secrets, and what if the system accidentally discovers them?

Although I know that with the current level of technology, there are no instruments on Earth that can detect it, I'm just afraid of the worst-case scenario.

That would be the end of everything.

Besides, he was certain the system couldn't be detected, and he didn't want to be studied all the time, as it made him feel like a lab rat locked in a laboratory.

No one wants to feel this way.

"I reject!"

Tong Youyou's expression was one of astonishment. Logically speaking, Chang Ning shouldn't have refused such generous terms.

Chang Ning's problem was solved, which would allow her to become a real special forces soldier, and she could also obtain experimental samples. This win-win situation was actually rejected.

Tong Youyou racked her brains but still couldn't figure it out.

"why?"

"For no reason other than simply not wanting to be studied."

"I only took some of your blood and hair; I didn't study you personally."

"Is there a difference?"

Chang Ning's question made Tong Youyou deflate like a punctured balloon, leaving her completely listless.

It seems there is no difference; the genes in the blood and hair are essentially the same as the genes in Chang Ning's body.

"Okay, have dinner with me first."

Tong Youyou didn't dwell on the issue too much, but it was impossible to get her to give up.

You must first take before you can give!

Tong Youyou believed that when Chang Ning owed her enough, he wouldn't have the nerve to refuse her anymore.

As a wealthy heiress, Chang Ning never expected that Tong Youyou would be eating at a roadside stall.

Looking at the various skewers of meat and vegetables laid out on the small table, Chang Ning still feels like she's in a dream.

Shouldn't a rich girl like that disdain eating at roadside stalls?
There's nothing wrong with Chang Ning having this idea. In his previous life, his social circle was very small, and he had never seen the lifestyle of the upper class, so he must have misunderstood it.

"Come on, let's drink to our acquaintance!"

Tong Youyou picked up a bottle of large green bottled water, opened it with a bottle opener, and took a big gulp.

Her generous and forthright manner is unmatched by many men.

"Drink up, haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman drink before?"

Seeing Chang Ning staring blankly at her, Tong Youyou immediately guessed what he was thinking and rolled her eyes at him.

"Oh well."

Chang Ning then deftly opened the bottle cap and skillfully ate barbecue with Tong Youyou.

He had finished eating, but seeing how much Tong Youyou was enjoying her meal, he felt he could still eat a little more.

"Who are you?"

A man and a woman came out of the nightclub; the man was helping the girl.

The girl seemed to be resisting the man, but unfortunately she was not as strong as him and had drunk too much, so she couldn't push him away.

Passersby ignored the couple, and since the man kept saying she was his girlfriend and had drunk too much, they decided not to interfere.

This behavior by the man is often referred to as "picking up a corpse," and the girl was the man's prey for tonight.

Chang Ning witnessed this scene. The roadside stall where they were eating was not far from the nightclub entrance, just across the street.
