She Lives without Regret in This Life

“Oh! I see!” she said carelessly, biting her lower lip and explaining, “It’s really nothing. Just a sister-in-law complimented me on looking better than others.” As Sheng Ning said this, a mischievous, narrow smile crept up the corners of her lips.

Wu Youli really felt defeated by her, “Even if that’s true, you can’t admit it yourself! You’re too bold.”

“Hahaha…” Sheng Ning couldn’t help but burst into laughter, dispelling the gloom of the entire day.

The two were standing on a bustling road, with a basketball court on the left and an obstacle training ground on the right. At dusk, many people were out and about. When they say ‘out and about,’ they’re actually sneaking peeks at the female comrades.

To borrow a phrase from later, female comrades were goddesses in their eyes. Right now, the sight of Sheng Ning and Wu Youli standing together and smiling might have left a deep impression in many people’s hearts.

Those playing basketball momentarily forgot to react, their shots went out of control, and the ball, following its momentum, headed towards the road.

Sheng Ning put her arm around Wu Youli’s shoulder, about to head back, when she felt a ball-shaped object speeding towards her. Her reflexes were quicker than her mind, and with a kick, she sent the ball flying back.

After the kick, she stood there, dumbfounded. Oh no, she had used too much force, forgetting she was on her period.

“Wu Youli, let’s get out of here fast.” Pulling her, they sped away.

The dazed men watched the ball drop into the basket and rubbed their eyes reflexively, then rubbed them again.

Yep! It must be because it’s getting dark, and they couldn’t see clearly.

After dealing with the ‘unexpected’ situation and returning to their dorm, there was a new thermos bottle on the table.

“Do you know someone here, Sheng Ning? How else would someone give you something?” asked Zhang Hongmei, intrigued.

“No!” Sheng Ning shook her head, then opened the lid of the thermos bottle and was greeted by a thick scent of brown sugar.

Her eyes lit up, surprised as she looked at the thermos bottle.

Could this be what she suspected?

Qin Cuifen was sitting on the bed, seriously reading a book. Seeing Sheng Ning receive something, envy gnawed at her. Putting down the book, she said in a ‘concerned friend’ tone, “Ningning, I never realized before that you also had this brazen bad habit.”

“Cuifen, if I were you, I would think about how to protect myself from the sun tomorrow.” Darkness was Qin Cuifen’s Achilles’ heel, a tried and true method.

“Wait and see.” Qin Cuifen glared at her and then buried her head under the covers, no longer speaking.

Sheng Ning poured herself some brown sugar water and sipped it slowly, feeling a comforting sweetness in every part of her body.

Medical room.

At 10 pm, the dormitory area had turned off its lights, and Xu Qigang brought Liu Chun through the dew of deep autumn. Upon entering, Guo Siming was so excited, he was nearly moved to tears.

“You’re finally here, that’s great! If you hadn’t come, I would have had to sacrifice myself for the revolution.”

Xu Qigang showed disdain, “Useless!”

Liu Chun, mouthy as ever, echoed the word useless and nearly got taken down to the ground for a beating by Guo Siming.

“Try taking care of Meng Ping for a while and see if it’s humanly possible.” From the afternoon until now, Meng Ping hadn’t calmed down once. Not cooperating with the treatment was one thing, but having a terrible attitude and even starting to tease the only female nurse in the medical room was like a slap in his face.

The medical room wasn’t large, with only a few doctors and nurses in total. The dozen or so wards were there due to the War Wolf Rescue Team’s heavy training and task load, in case of any accidents.

Xu Qigang, familiar with the place, headed straight to the room at the far end. Before he even got close, he could hear Meng Ping’s robust yelling, “Where’s Xu Qigang? Tell Xu Qigang to get out here and see me.”
