Chu Xianling had been quietly watching Yang Yushi and Song Xiaodong, and now she spoke: "Ruonan, you should be the one who knows best what kind of person Yushi is. If she made a decision, she must have her reasons."

Zhao Ruonan snorted and said, "You might think Yang Yushi is smart usually, but don't you know? Once a woman gets emotional, her IQ plummets, perhaps even into the negatives?"

Chu Xianling shrugged slightly and said, "Really? I've never been in love, so I wouldn't know."

Yang Yushi let go of Song Xiaodong and said, "Come on, Ruonan, stop worrying about my affairs. We agreed to just have fun. How can we enjoy ourselves if you're always frowning?"

Zhao Ruonan huffed, "I'm worried seeing you like this, okay? Such a nice flower to be ruined by a pig."

Song Xiaodong's face turned dark. Zhao Ruonan really had a sharp tongue. If she weren't in the military, he wouldn't have bothered to show her any respect.

Another reason for Song Xiaodong's tolerance towards Zhao Ruonan was that, after looking into her background, he discovered she didn't reach her position at such a young age just through connections; she did it relying on her own true skills.

Ever since she joined the army, she first got into a special forces unit and earned several merits there, including three first-class merits alone.

She also participated in some military equipment design and manufacturing. Some of the things Song Xiaodong used were designed with her involvement.

She is truly a skillful soldier, and in the military, competent men usually have big tempers, so Song Xiaodong wasn't surprised by it.

Yang Yushi wasn't angry either. She smiled and said, "Ruonan, you keep saying that about me. With your bad temper, which man could tolerate you?"

Zhao Ruonan curled her lips disdainfully and said, "I don't need anyone to tolerate me. I'd rather stay single forever than settle like you do."

Yang Yushi once again wrapped her arm around Song Xiaodong's, chuckled lightly, and said, "You don't know Dongzi's worth. Only such an excellent man can match me. Or..."; then she blinked at Zhao Ruonan and said, "Why don't you go with Dongzi?"

"Go with him?" Zhao Ruonan instantly reacted as if her tail was stepped on, jumping up in a flash, her eyes stared daggers at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong quickly said, "That's Yushi joking around. How dare I have disrespectful thoughts about our Senior Officer."

Zhao Ruonan's face softened a bit, and she glared at Yang Yushi fiercely, saying, "Yushi, this scoundrel you treasure is nothing but a scum to me. If he were my soldier, I'd make him a eunuch to prevent him from harming anyone in the future."

Yang Yushi's face reddened, she spat and jokingly scolded Zhao Ruonan, "Alright, alright, I won't joke with you, lest you speak without caution again."

Chu Xianling smiled and said, "Haven't you all had enough fooling around?"

Yang Yushi laughed and said, "Enough fooling around, let's have some wine. I've had it tough these days."

The red wine was set on the table, and everyone took a sip. Chu Xianling said, "Yushi, and on the fourth day? How did you spend the fourth day?"

Yang Yushi had been telling them about the Africa trip when Song Xiaodong arrived, which interrupted her story. Now Chu Xianling picked up the topic again.

Yang Yushi squinted her eyes and said, "On the fourth day, we were traveling with a few vehicles when we were intercepted by two cars. They were all armed..."

Yang Yushi was deeply engaged in her storytelling, and Zhao Ruonan and Chu Xianling were listening intently. The narration was captivating, and the situation was indeed thrilling.

When Yang Yushi mentioned how Song Xiaodong took out the nine unsuspecting enemies, Zhao Ruonan sneered and said, "Such an ambush doesn't really count as skills."

However, as Yang Yushi continued the part where Song Xiaodong led her through the pursuit of over twenty men, remaining unharmed, and even managing to take them all out, Zhao Ruonan was left somewhat speechless.

Anyone who's been on the battlefield knows how tough it is to evade pursuit in a savannah, let alone while protecting someone like Yang Yushi, a potential burden.

Chu Xianling, narrowing her eyes, imagined herself in that scenario. Her Kung Fu skills are top-notch, and while she's great in combat, on such a true battlefield, she knows she couldn't achieve what Song Xiaodong did, especially under that kind of crossfire, where martial arts play a limited role.

Both then looked at Song Xiaodong with renewed admiration. Chu Xianling said, "Mr. Song, it seems you really held back last time when sparring with me."

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "Miss Xianling didn't go all out either."

Chu Xianling said, "I didn't go all out, but I feel that Mr. Song's capabilities weren't just about not using full strength; there were some skills you didn't even show."

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "Perhaps my advantage over Miss Xianling is my extensive battlefield experience, whereas Miss Xianling has only expertise in Kung Fu, which makes a difference."
