Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 274 The Strategist Arrives Online
"Medic, do you think Chang Ning might take this opportunity to confess his feelings?" Ostrich whispered.

"I think it's unlikely. The two of them don't seem to be in a natural relationship; they seem to be in a period of ambiguity."

The medic carefully analyzed the two people's condition and gave his answer.

"Where does so much rationality come from in love? Don't people just confess their feelings when they get carried away?"

The atmosphere between them is just right now; they might just confess their feelings.

The ostrich gave the opposite answer to the medic.

"How about you guys make a bet?" Qiangzi suggested from the side.

The group spoke in very low voices, and the hospital elevator was quite spacious, which meant that Chang Ning and Xiao Fei couldn't hear them at all.

While the group was talking, the elevator reached the top floor.

As the notification sound rang, Chang Ning and Xiao Fei seemed to wake up from a dream and returned to normal.

However, judging from their blushing cheeks, they were definitely not as calm and collected as they appeared at that moment.

Chang Ning and Xiao Fei led the way at the front of the group, and they felt uneasy as the gazes from behind them seemed to materialize.

Xiao Fei even had an urge to escape from here.

"This is Xiao Zhuang's hospital room. Please go in. I won't disturb you any longer."

After saying that, Xiao Fei turned and left, not even giving Group B a chance to thank her.

"I'll go see her."

After Chang Ning finished speaking, he chased after her, not even knowing why he was chasing after Xiao Fei.

"I think he'll confess his feelings," the ostrich thought confidently.

"maybe."

Seeing Chang Ning's performance, the medic was not sure if he would win the bet this time.

"Xiao Fei, wait a moment."

Chang Ning called out to Xiao Fei at the elevator entrance.

"Is something wrong?"

Xiao Fei looked at Chang Ning and admitted that she was panicking.

"I'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

"understood."

Upon hearing the news that Chang Ning was going to be discharged from the hospital, she didn't know how she felt, and she didn't even know how she got into the elevator.

Seeing that Xiao Fei was not in a good mood, he did not dare to go up and disturb her, and could only watch her leave in the elevator.

Xiao Fei seemed lost in thought in the elevator, not even glancing up at Chang Ning until the elevator doors closed.

Back in Xiao Zhuang's ward, I don't know what everyone was talking about, but everyone's face was beaming with a bright smile.

Why are they looking at me so strangely?
Got it. While he wasn't there, the topics these people were discussing were definitely centered around him and weren't exactly serious.

"What are you guys chatting about? You seem to be having a lot of fun."

Chang Ning casually found a spot and scanned the group of people who were laughing the most merrily.

Perhaps feeling guilty, none of the people who were being given special attention by Chang Ning dared to meet her gaze.

They either avoided looking at Chang Ning or simply didn't meet his gaze.

"Hey, let's just chat," Qiangzi said, forcing a smile despite Chang Ning's gaze.

Is there anything more embarrassing than being caught gossiping by the person in question?
"Look at you guys, so what? Gossip about me if you want, we're all good brothers, how could I get angry?"

Chang Ning laughed as she spoke, mainly because everyone's guilty expressions just now were really funny.

The atmosphere began to ease, and with Chang Ning joining in, the car sped along a cheerful road.

Since I don't care, my old buddies have also let go.

Unable to contain his gossip, Xiao Zhuang asked Chang Ning, "What's going on between you and Xiao Fei?"

"Nothing's wrong, we're all friends."

To be honest, even Chang Ning himself couldn't figure out the relationship between him and Xiao Fei.

They were friends, but their interactions were always ambiguous; they were lovers, but they had known each other for less than a week.

Progress doesn't happen that fast; it's not like eating fast food.

Seeing that Chang Ning was being evasive and even spouting scumbag quotes, Geng Jihui, as the team leader, couldn't just watch his team member make a mistake.

"I have to criticize you for this. Changning, we can't make mistakes, this is a matter of conduct!"

It's clear that Xiao Geng misunderstood Chang Ning, but we can't really blame Xiao Geng.

Chang Ning's words sounded just like those of an irresponsible scumbag.

The others spoke up to persuade Chang Ning, saying they couldn't just stand by and watch their good brother make a mistake.

With Chang Ning's current achievements, her future is very bright. It would be a real shame to let this matter ruin her career.

"It's not what you think. Am I really that ugly in everyone's eyes?"

Chang Ning stopped the crowd's condemnation and then began to recount her personal journey.

"...In short, I don't know what the situation is right now. It's mainly because we've only known each other for a short time, and the relationship is progressing too quickly, which gives people a feeling of unease."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

They had never seen this situation before, and even an experienced person like Xiao Zhuang couldn't offer any effective advice.

His relationship with Xiaoying was that of childhood sweethearts who developed feelings over time; a relationship like Chang Ning's is truly rare.

"Why don't you give it a try? Anyway, from what you've said, you don't seem to dislike him."

The ostrich offered an idea that won the approval of most people.

The essence of male-female relationships is ambiguity.

Of course, this doesn't mean that pure friendship doesn't exist, but it's rather rare.

"The ostrich is right, let's treat each other as friends first."

As long as you don't take advantage of others or try to take advantage of them, time will tell whether things will work out.

Everyone except the medics agreed with the proposal.

So what are the medics doing?

After chatting briefly upon entering, he huddled in a corner, pulled out a comic book, and became engrossed in reading it.

With that air of "ignoring everything else and focusing solely on studying the classics," anyone who didn't know better would think he was preparing for graduate school entrance exams.

"stop looking."

Ostrich nudged the medic who was engrossed in his own world. Everyone was brainstorming ideas for Chang Ning again. How could this guy remain silent? He needed to keep up with the formation.

"I've never even been in a relationship, how can I give advice? That would be misleading people."

Of all the guys, only Xiao Zhuang has a girlfriend. If you ask me, we're all out of our minds. These kinds of emotional issues are beyond the understanding of a bunch of rough guys like us.

If that's the case, why should I get involved?
It's better to read more comics.

After saying that, the medic became completely absorbed in the world of comics again.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment, and the medic gave them the answer from another perspective.

It's actually the same idea as the ostrich's words: let things drift. "Chang Ning, you'll have to rely on yourself for this."

After all, only the wearer knows whether a shoe fits or not.

But one thing you absolutely must do is stay true to yourself and not make any mistakes.

The veteran gave Chang Ning earnest advice, saying that Xiao Zhuang and Chang Ning were the best soldiers he had ever led.

In terms of development prospects, Changning is much better than Xiaozhuang.

Anyone who has met Xiao Zhuang knows how stubborn he is; he might make a mistake any day.

Chang Ning is different; he can control his temper and deal with things calmly.

Therefore, Lao Pao sincerely hopes that Chang Ning can have a good future in the military.

After much discussion, things came full circle, leaving Chang Ning completely bewildered and with no choice but to stick to her principles.

Xiao Zhuang needed to rest due to his illness, and visits were not allowed. It was only through Xiao Fei's influence that they were able to buy some time for everyone.

When the time came, everyone naturally had to leave.

Wolf Fang is a 24/7 combat-ready unit with very few days off.

When the members of Group B took leave to go out, how could the other comrades of Wolf Fang not seize this opportunity to ask someone they knew in Group B to help carry things back?

So, apart from the two people who were still hospitalized, the rest of Group B went their separate ways after leaving the hospital to buy things for their comrades.

Chang Ning had just returned to her ward to get her IV drip when Xiao Fei came in after seeing off Group B.

"Here, this is today's lunch."

After thanking Xiao Fei for the lunch, Chang Ning wolfed down her food.

Today's lunch consisted entirely of his favorite dishes, and since he was indeed hungry, he ate a little faster than usual.

Seeing Chang Ning enjoying her meal, Xiao Fei wore a faint smile, feeling incredibly happy inside.

These dishes were specially selected by her after observing Chang Ning's expression while eating last time. Even though Chang Ning doesn't have a picky eating habit, her expression doesn't lie when she encounters dishes she likes.

According to Xiao Fei's observation, Chang Ning would save her favorite dishes for last and eat them all at once with rice.

"I'm so sorry to keep troubling you to bring me food."

Chang Ning's attitude towards Xiao Fei changed today; he started to feel embarrassed to bother the girl.

"Now you feel embarrassed? Why didn't you say so yesterday?"

Xiao Fei smiled and looked at Chang Ning, asking a question.

She clearly guessed Chang Ning's thoughts; it has to be said that girls are much more perceptive in this regard than boys.

Chang Ning still can't figure out Xiao Fei's mental state.

"Yesterday is different from today."

Chang Ning put down the lunchbox, her eyes wandering. Her gaze met Xiao Fei's briefly in mid-air before she looked away.

He couldn't resist Xiao Fei's intense gaze.

"Why is it different?"

Xiao Fei launched a further offensive, wanting Chang Ning to say those words.

What girl would take the initiative to confess her feelings?

"I can't explain it either."

Chang Ning felt that the relationship between the two of them always felt unreal, giving people a sense of insincerity.

Xiao Fei's bright eyes dimmed, and disappointment enveloped her heart.

What am I expecting? Can't this guy see it?
Ha, maybe this guy really can't see it, he's such a blockhead!
"Alright, if I can't explain it clearly, then I won't."

I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first. "

Xiao Fei composed herself, a bitter smile playing on her lips, and walked out of the ward carrying the lunchbox.

"What's wrong with her now? Did I say something wrong again?"

Chang Ning, left in the ward, was completely bewildered, and thought to himself that girls were truly unpredictable.

It was 10 p.m. in the hospital staff dormitory.

"Do you think he's a blockhead? That wasn't just a hint, it was a direct indication."

Lying in bed, Xiao Fei, getting angrier the more she thought about it, turned over and woke up her best friend Xiao Ying. She started ranting and raving about Chang Ning, calling him a blockhead and other such things.

Seeing her best friend's anxious expression, Xiaoying felt both amused and sorry for her.

After being single for so many years, I finally met someone I liked, but the other person was slow to react emotionally and couldn't give timely feedback.

Look how worried my best friend is.

"Okay, don't you realize you're getting a little anxious?"

Xiaoying subtly reminded Xiaofei that this person was not just a little anxious, but extremely anxious.

You two have only known each other for less than a week, and someone else is already confessing their feelings to you? How is that possible?

"Besides, the wood from Changning is quite good."

Hearing this, Xiaofei panicked: "Is this okay? What's okay about it? Do you want me to confess my feelings to him?"

"Hey, let me finish."

Once Xiaofei calmed down, Xiaoying continued, "Being a little slow on the uptake of relationships means that Changning is as simple as a blank sheet of paper in this regard, just like you, she's never been in a relationship before."

Although Xiaoying's romantic history is pitifully small, she has had relationships before.

She now sees the interaction between Xiaofei and Changning as something like watching chickens pecking at each other—clumsy yet adorable.

"Then what do you suggest we do? He'll be discharged tomorrow."

Xiao Fei's words revealed a hint of anxiety. Ben Mutou's workplace did not offer holidays, and visits were usually prohibited.

If they miss this opportunity, who knows when they'll see each other again.

Although she could ask her grandfather for help, she couldn't keep bothering him.

"Based on Xiao Zhuang and your description, Chang Ning is clearly a slow-to-warm-up person."

If you ask me, you could start by getting to know him as a friend, and then subtly flirt with him during that time.

"Wouldn't things just fall into place naturally, sister?"

As the strategist, Xiaoying racked her brains to help her best friend come up with ideas, determined to win over Changning, that blockhead.

"But he's in Langya, you know that place."

"Yeah~"

Xiao Fei's words silenced Xiao Ying; saying more wouldn't change anything if the two didn't meet.

The room fell silent instantly, with only the faint breathing of the two girls audible.

Silent all night.

Today is the day Chang Ning is discharged from the hospital, but he appears listless, with faint bluish-black bruises around his eyes.

Anyone who's stayed up all night knows he had insomnia last night.
