Chapter 654: Who’s Done for (5)

“One has to earn his own dignity.” Mu Xichen held her firmly. “I’ve done enough in giving him face by not pointing out that he had disgraced himself.”

As he spoke, he drew her closer towards himself and started to grope her.

It had been a while since they last met, and Li Beinian did not stop him.

Upon hearing this, Li Beinian reached out to pinch his face and said, “You have the audacity. You’ve been a soldier for so many years and now you’re nit-picking with this young master. Whatever for!”

“He covets my woman, so shouldn’t I be nit-picking?” Mu Xichen wasn’t embarrassed at all. He wrapped her in his coat and lowered his head to kiss her face. “What’s mine is mine. And it’s for my eyes only.”

“I won’t pay attention to him.”

Mu Xichen snorted. “It would be the end of you if you should pay any attention to him.” As he spoke, his lips moved from her face to her lips. “I will kill you.”

As soon as he had said this, she found his mouth sealed over hers as he wrapped his arms around her, sucking all the air out of her.

Although Mu Xichen was here today, he didn’t seem to have any intention of taking a break.

It was a rainy day and the weather was a little cold. Everyone was having a comfortable afternoon nap.

So comfortable that they had no desire to get up.

Hence, no one noticed that Li Beinian was missing again over lunch break.

She was sleeping somewhere else.

Leaning into his warm embrace, her breathing was even.

When Yang Dawu knocked on the door and entered, he saw Mu Xichen holding the sleeping Li Beinian and looking gently into her face.

Mu Xichen shushed the man.

Yang Dawu silently took a step back. However, a thought suddenly occurred to him and he said, “Mingye is waiting for you downstairs. Aren’t you going to work?”

“Let him wait.” Mu Xichen’s voice was very faint. He held the girl in his arms and spoke very softly.

Yang Dawu roared silently. However, he appeared calm as he shut the door, reminding the other man, “Lunch break is only for an hour. It’s about time to gather.”

“Mmm…” Li Beinian stretched her back.”Is it time to fall in?”

“Not yet, go back to sleep.”

“Mmm….”

Li Beinian snuggled into his embrace and fell asleep again.

Yang Dawu really wanted to flip the table, but he quickly retreated.

Mu Xichen had to go to work in the afternoon, hence he got ready to leave after Li Beinian had woken up.

Hugging her reluctantly, he said, “Be careful in the combat exercise tomorrow. I have to make a trip home.”

“To Tong State?”

“Mm.” Mu Xichen replied casually. “We’ll make another trip together after your training comes to an end.”

“Ok.”

In the afternoon, they practiced for the following day’s combat exercise and were given a briefing on the rules.

In addition, given the disparity in capabilities, they were regrouped to avoid situations of extreme strength or weakness.

Today’s grouping was more interesting, there were five to a group.

Li Beinian was in the same group as Guan Yueyun, Ma Zheng, and another man whose overall score was above average.

After regrouping, they spent the rest of the time doing activities of their own choice.

Feng Yiran was a little distracted. He looked at Li Beinian from time to time, and seemed to have something on his mind.

Li Beinian pretended not to notice and continued with her work.

That night, everyone went to bed early.

The next day.

The rain was much lighter than the day before.

However, the surroundings were wet and the environment was definitely not comfortable.

Everyone put on their army green raincoats and very quickly split themselves up into their groups.
