Chapter 356: Jiayou!
Chapter 356: Jiayou!
Huang Xiaoxuan's hands froze in the air. However, her eyes were already on Long Yi, who was standing a few feet away from them. She was expecting Long Yi to defend her, however, she didn't get the reaction that she wanted.
Long Yi just stood there and stared at Lyca like she was his f*cking wife!
"Mr. Long!" Lyca smiled. "You should call your wife beautiful from time to time. If you don't feel like it, just like for the sake of the baby."
Long Yi's face contorted. What kind of advice is that? However, Lyca was already walking away from him and the frozen Huang Xiaoxuan.
"You're just going to stand there? You won't even defend me?" Huang Xiaoxuan asked her husband.
"Defend you from what?" Long Yi answered as he walked towards her. "Did someone attacked you? Or you tried to attack someone but failed miserably?"
"You "
"When It comes to pissing people off you are no match for her." Xie Jun interrupted Huang Xiaoxuan. "You should give up and stay out of her way. You are pregnant after all. You don't want some accidents to happen, right?"
Before she could answer, Long Yi, Xie Jun, and Zhang Zhi already walked the other way. She stood there alone, face red in anger.
...
"If I get pregnant, you should tell me that I am pretty every day." Lyca held Shen Qui's hands as they walked down the stairs. "Some pregnant women became really insecure and act irrationally. So, it's better if you remind me that I am still beautiful no matter what."
"Hmmm." Shen Qui nodded. "You are beautiful no matter what."
"When I get moody, you should smile and be patient with me."
"Alright."
"And when I want something irrational. Just don't do it. It's just me wanting some attention. Just tell me that I'm pretty."
"" He nodded. "You are worried that I will treat you like Long Yi treats his wife? It's different. He never liked her."
"Oh? Then does this mean you like me?"
"No."
""
"I love you."
"Ew!" She giggled. "Stop saying words like that. It's too embarrassing." The two continued walking and after a few minutes, they finally arrived in the building. This time, they went straight to their room and asked their people to rest.
Sadly, not many of them were able to rest.
On the next day, most of them had huge eye bags and pale faces.
"We were so excited. We couldn't sleep." Gu Cheng said as he lowered his head, trying to avoid Lyca's gaze.
"I am all about aesthetics," Lyca said. "Now that everyone looks like an ugly Panda, I am hesitating if I should still bring you out to join the contest."
Shen Qui immediately cleared his throat. "You all know that we have an event today and you actually didn't sleep last night?" They are currently having their morning formation in front of their building. Everyone who will participate in the physical contest later was here. Even Ronan was here, along with everyone else. "We only have limited people and you still let your emotions win."
"Boss, please forgive us this time, ah." Ma Ping said. "This is the first time that we will join something like this. We were too nervous last night. Don't worry, this won't affect our performance at all."
"The first stage will be rescuing people. You need your strength to be able to run towards the mountain, fight the bandits and rescue the kidnapped victims. You didn't have much sleep last night! How could you say that this wouldn't affect your performance at all?" Hogan, who had been with the group since they started training, asked. He was standing just next to Lyca and Shen Qui. "Moreover, if one of you gets wounded, then that person won't be able to attend tomorrow's event. As Boss Q said, we have limited people. Other companies have sixty, some have seventy people with them. We are only twenty-eight, including Mr. Chu. Can you see the difference now? How could you be this careless?"
The thick silence hung in the air before Lyca cleared her throat, attracting everyone's gaze. "Actually, injury is something that we cannot avoid." She smiled at everyone. However, for some reason, her beautiful smile didn't give them relief. In fact, it made them afraid. What was she planning to do? Every one of them was almost a hundred percent sure that Lyca was going to punish them. "So I thought of a way to let everyone face the consequences of their actions." Lyca was still smiling. "If you get wounded I won't give you my medicine."
Her words sounded sweet, but the people who were forming a line knew what kind of medicine Lyca was talking about. It was the numbing medicine that could numb any type of injury. For instance, a person could break his bone and Lyca's medicine could easily mask the pain from the injury.
Unlike most numbing creams that would soon lose their effects after a few hours, Lyca's numbing medicine is taken orally and applied to the wound. It wouldn't lose its effects after just a few hours! It was a very effective medicine that could remove any of their pains. From knife wounds to simple bruises! That medicine could remove the pain, making them ignore it and continue their training.
If Lyca wouldn't give them that medicine, then they would surely suffer!
"Alright, I am not unreasonable. So, I won't tell you not to get injured. In fact, feeling pain sometimes is very good! It reminds us that we are still alive!" Lyca beamed as she stared at the horror in their faces. "Alright don't look at me like that. I will naturally give you the medicine after we finish this event. I meant after the last day of the event."
Lyca roamed her eyes, meeting everyone's gazes. "Do we have a deal?"
"Yes!" They answered in chorus.
"Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
"Good!" Lyca beamed. "Then jiayou! I hope you will get injured and be reminded that you aren't dead yet!"
