Chapter 403: Chapter 432: You, Team Up with Me (3rd Update)
Ding Yueqiu, an international assassin, a female assassin who admires the perfect assassination, every target she’s taken on has always appeared to outsiders as accidental deaths.
This time, her target is Lin Xi, invited by Bai Bing’s previous nominal fiancé, Chen Bainan.
However, since Lin Xi was always at school, except for a few military training sessions, he was almost never seen, so she hadn’t found a good opportunity.
This so-called field training organized by Yang Feifei is the perfect opportunity.
Like slipping and falling off a cliff, being bitten by a venomous snake, or attacked by wild animals...
Outdoors, for Ding Yueqiu, too many accidents can happen to her target.
But this time, the situation is quite special. After recent observations, she discovered that Lin Xi possesses exceptional skills, comparable to those of special forces, much like hers.
Of course, facing a target of the same level, as long as she seizes the opportunity, it’s not too difficult for her.
After all, in the assassin’s line of work, if you can’t kill out of your league, you’re an unqualified assassin.
And as a female assassin who admires the perfect assassination, killing out of her league goes without saying.
After receiving pots, pans, and other utensils from the four soldiers, the classmates paired up boys and girls to find their respective spots and began today’s outdoor cooking.
Lin Xi’s room, of course, was with Gu Xiaoxian’s room, since they had already had a gathering before. Moreover, their room leader Jiang Yi was still the girlfriend of Peng Bo, the second in command, and the other two girls, Di Qiu and Ning Jing, had quite a spark with the third and fourth guys.
Once they chose a spot, Jiang Yi’s big-sister demeanor came out.
According to her, she would assign tasks based on everyone’s "strengths."
For example, Xiong Haitao, tall and strong, was naturally tasked with moving head-sized stones to make a temporary stove and fetching water from afar.
Cui Hua, who seemed to be the most meticulous among the four, was assigned to wash vegetables, while Peng Bo, known for his ’sly ways’, was assigned to chopping vegetables and making the fire right under their noses. As for Lin Xi, since she couldn’t tell what he was good at, he was assigned to collect firewood in the forest.
"What about you guys?" After assignments were given, Peng Bo couldn’t help but ask Jiang Yi and the other four.
Jiang Yi and Di Qiu exchanged a smile, "With you four big guys around, do we really need to do anything?"
"Of course, we have our tasks to do as well."
"Yes, playing cards!"
"So stop whining, hurry up, we’re starving—haven’t even had breakfast!"
Just as they finished speaking, Gu Xiaoxian’s face turned slightly red, and she murmured softly, "Well, um, maybe I should help out..."
Though Ning Jing didn’t speak, her thoughts were about the same as Gu Xiaoxian’s.
Jiang Yi and Di Qiu immediately pulled the two back, "If you guys go, who’s going to play cards with us?"
"Isn’t it inappropriate?" Gu Xiaoxian felt a bit embarrassed to just sit and wait to eat without doing anything.
"What’s there to be embarrassed about? Stop talking, come on, let’s lay out the mats..."
Peng Bo and the other two shrugged, feeling helpless—there was no dragging them to work—out here, working meant doing actual tasks, not what you’re imagining!
Lin Xi looked at third-in-command Xiong Haitao and said softly, "Third brother, gather some firewood for me. I’m going to find a sunny spot to soak up the sun and take a nap."
"Eldest brother, but I need to find rocks and fetch water..." Xiong Haitao, with a straightforward face, wanted to refuse.
Lin Xi shot him a glance, then saw Peng Bo and Cui Hua curiously poking their heads over. "You can ask second brother and fourth brother to help!"
On hearing this, Peng Bo and Cui Hua immediately turned around and pretended not to hear, walking off instantly.
Without waiting for Xiong Haitao to answer, Lin Xi headed to a sunny, distant hill.
Xiong Haitao was helpless. After all, he was the big brother!
By now, it was around ten o’clock. The dew on the ground had long dried up, and Lin Xi lay on the ground with a wild straw in his mouth, looking at the classmates busy and bustling below. He couldn’t help but sigh, "Life is indeed beautiful!"
"You’re quite good at enjoying yourself!" Just then, a voice came from afar—it was Yang Feifei, "Alright, you, join my group!"
"We’re just short of someone to fetch water."
