My Little Poplar - Chap 38

Once in the car, Bai Xinyu starts bragging to the driver about how brave he was, beating up the punks, saving a poor father and daughter, the driver is happy to hear this but doesn’t say much.

Bai Xinyu finally sighed and said, “I wonder if the girl is hurt.” Bai Xinyu thought about her long, flickering eyelashes and how cute they were.

Yu Fengcheng’s long fingers clasped Bai Xinyu’s head like a basketball, turning his face around and said sarcastically: “I’ll put you down here, will you go back and have a look?”

Bai Xinyu slapped his hand away and said, “I’m just saying.” It’s been over ten kilometres, you’re kidding.

In contrast to Bai Xinyu’s excitement and Yu Fengcheng’s calmness, Chen Jing, Cheng Wangwang and the old driver seemed less relaxed, Bai Xinyu also noticed something was wrong and asked: “Sergeant, what’s wrong with you? You don’t look well.”

Chen Jing said: “Nothing.”

Bai Xinyu put his face forward, reached out, quickly took Chen Jing’s glasses off, smiled and said: “Sergeant, you don’t need glasses if you’re not nearsighted, don’t you know that your eyeballs will be deformed if you wear them for a long time.”

Chen Jing snatched them up and said, “I’ll stop wearing them if they get any older.”

“Sergeant, your spinning kick was awesome today, if only I had time to film you… No, I don’t understand, why are we running, isn’t that a good thing.”

Cheng Wangwang patted him, for the first time he spoke to him in a somewhat serious tone, “Stop asking questions, just sit down.”

Bai Xinyu realised that something might really be wrong? He remembered the sergeant’s comment that “Han Chinese should not be in charge”, he vaguely thought it had something to do with this, so he kept his mouth shut and didn’t ask any more questions. At that time, Bai Xinyu really didn’t know the local sensitivities, so he couldn’t understand why they were acting like thieves in such a righteous manner.

After a bumpy five hour drive, they finally made it back to the barracks before dark.

Once back in the dormitory, Bai Xinyu, who had brought a bunch of messy gifts, was greeted by everyone, he grabbed a few goodies and went to Feng Dongyuan and Qian Liang, the three of them took a break before dinner and found a deserted place to eat a big Qian Liang patted Bai Xinyu’s leg as he ate, “Good for you, you haven’t forgotten your buddies, this stuff is addictive.”

Feng Dongyuan laughed and said: “It does taste good, it’s the first time I’ve had it, looks like pecans.”

Bai Xinyu excitedly described to them what they had seen in the past two days, except for the messy night at the guesthouse last night and bragged about everything else, especially their heroic fight against the gangsters this morning, Bai Xinyu said proudly: “It seems that the past six months or so have not been in vain, I didn’t I didn’t know I was such a good fighter.” I didn’t know I was so good at fighting.” He even threw a couple of punches.

Feng Dongyuan said enviously: “I wish I could go to that town, I thought I could stand the loneliness at first, my place is small and there’s nothing there but I didn’t think I’d feel even more depressed in the army.”

Bai Xinyu said: “You should get closer to the sergeant, see how he took Yu Fengcheng this time.” He thought to himself, if the sergeant had taken Feng Dongyuan’s little angel, could that have happened last night, his reputation would have been ruined.

Feng Dongyuan scratched his head apologetically and said, “I’m not very good at… Besides, Fengcheng did a good job, it’s only right that the sergeant appreciates him.”
