Chapter 130: Chapter 130: If Any of Them Catches Your Eye, I’ll Assign Him as Your Coach

The soldiers brought by Chief Qin stood tall like newly planted pine trees, with straight shoulder lines and tight waists, their faces uniformly dignified, with firm and handsome features.

Their skin was slightly red due to years of exposure to desert winds, adding a touch of masculinity. Standing there seemed like a row of meticulously crafted statues, favored by the sunlight that cast a golden edge on their shoulders, pleasing to the eye at a glance.

Xu Ying couldn’t help but take a few more glances; such a grand scene made her feel somewhat nervous.

Chief Qin noticed Xu Ying’s nervousness and slightly turned his head, with a gentle smile in his eyes, teasing yet measured: “How about it? Do these soldiers handpicked by your Uncle Qin catch your eye?”

His voice was not loud, carrying a bit of an elder’s care, asking tentatively: “Have you found anyone with whom you feel a rapport? I can have him regularly visit your Desert Rescue Station 032 to teach you self-defense techniques!”

Comrade Xiao Xu, being such a young Beast Language expert, was stationed alone at the remote Desert Rescue Station, and Chief Qin was quite concerned.

The soldiers brought by Chief Qin remained standing upright, showing no extra expression upon hearing this, only a slight flicker in their eyes, as if they heard but pretended not to, still looking straight ahead, with a stance like pine trees, very disciplined, appearing somewhat aloof.

Xu Ying showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this, feeling tempted by Chief Qin’s suggestion. Though she habitually exercised, it was mostly about building strength; having a professional coach teach her self-defense would be ideal.

Before Xu Ying could reply, Chen Su, who was training police dogs and hadn’t spoken much, suddenly looked up, “Uncle Qin, I can teach self-defense techniques too. I came from the special forces, should be able to teach, right?”

Chen Su spoke quickly, as if somewhat anxious.

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere turned a bit subtle. Many soldiers present knew Chen Su, who had won first prize in the martial arts competition during his time in the special forces, and everyone admired and appreciated Chen Su greatly.

However, they were quite surprised by Chen Su’s address to Chief Qin. Given Chen Su’s strong capabilities and connections with Chief Qin, why was he serving as the captain at such a remote Desert Police Station?

Though everyone remained disciplined with no movements, their gazes collectively shifted to Chen Su.

Ning Zexi wore an expression of having encountered gossip, his mouth unable to resist starting: “Yo, why did Captain Chen suddenly become anxious—”

Xia Man hastily covered his mouth, lowering her voice: “Keep it down, even gossip needs the right occasion.”

“Mmm-mmm-mmm—”

Ning Zexi’s eyebrows danced with excitement.

Xu Ying couldn’t help but glance at Chen Su.

Chen Su sensed the change in atmosphere, realizing his abruptness, his fingers slightly curling around the police dog leash, he coughed lightly in awkwardness, then heard Chief Qin teasingly say: “Teach? You were the champion of the martial arts competition back then, who else could teach if not you?”

He then turned to Xu Ying: “The key is whether Little Xu Station Chief agrees or not. What if the soldiers I brought are more to her liking?”

Xu Ying nodded vigorously, her head bobbing like a chick pecking at rice, among such a group of elites present, she could hardly choose wrongly.

“Yes, yes, of course!”

Chen Su let out a breath unconsciously upon hearing Xu Ying’s words.

Chief Qin chuckled: “Since you’re so enthusiastic, you can teach, I’ll have your station chief apply for a teaching subsidy for you, just arrange a time with Little Xu Station Chief yourself.”

Chen Su shook his head: “No need to trouble Chief Qin, no need for a subsidy either.”

Chief Qin’s smile deepened, this kid just urgently called him Uncle Qin, now back to calling him Chief Qin formally.

He figured even without a subsidy, if Chen Su had to pay out of pocket to teach Xu Ying, he’d be delighted to do so eagerly.

This little episode lightened the atmosphere quite a bit, Xu Ying, after this interaction, felt less nervous than before. Chief Qin then had Xia Man find a good angle to start awarding Xu Ying.

The tanks in the desert, like iron beasts, appeared especially majestic under the sunlight. Chief Qin, with a solemn expression, carefully took the medal from the secretary’s red velvet box.

The medal had intricately engraved star patterns, as Chief Qin placed it solemnly on Xu Ying’s chest, then accepted a red envelope from the secretary’s hand.

Xu Ying felt the weight of the medal on her chest, a bright smile couldn’t help but appear on her face as she took the red envelope from Chief Qin’s hand: “Thank you for the reward from the organization, I will continue to work hard!”

“This is well-deserved.” Chief Qin’s voice was authoritative and affirming: “Your wisdom and bravery helped us avert significant losses from a security breach.”

The soldiers stood solemnly nearby, their eyes filled with respect, while the tanks reflected sharp gleams in the sunlight, as Xia Man pressed the shutter to capture Little Xu Station Chief’s moment of glory.

After the award ceremony, Chief Qin asked Xu Ying if she had more time, while she used her stethoscope to conduct a thorough check on the big-eared hedgehog in the carrying case.

She found that the stimulant in the big-eared hedgehog had worn off over time, as it rested calmly in the case without any abnormality.

Only then did Xu Ying reply to Chief Qin: “The big-eared hedgehog has stabilized now, no rush to return to the rescue station, what’s up Uncle Qin!”

“Is there something else I could help with?”

Seeing Xu Ying’s rigorous attitude, a sparkle of appreciation flickered in Chief Qin’s eyes, he turned his gaze to the soldiers he brought and said jovially: “All these soldiers under me are your top fans, they eagerly signed up to come with me when they heard you were going to be awarded.”

The daily life at the base is usually routine and monotonous, they’ve seen all kinds of tech talents and experts, but it’s their first time seeing an expert with such an interesting skill.

Not only online, but Xu Ying’s discussion rate is also high at the base.

“They’re very interested in your expertise in Beast Language, I wonder if you could hold a small fan meeting here now and answer their questions?”

Xu Ying’s expression paused slightly, astonished inside, she thought Xia Man’s talk of having many fans at the base was exaggerated, but unexpectedly it was true.

And the soldiers brought by Chief Qin, upon hearing his words, glanced at Xu Ying, though their brows remained hard and stern, yet their eyes shone with expectant brightness.

These tall and handsome soldiers were unexpectedly interested in communicating with small animals, a kind of contrasting cuteness.

Xu Ying agreed cheerfully: “Sure, sure, absolutely.”

Chief Qin turned to the people he brought and said: “Alright, standing here for long enough. Now you’re free to move around, if you have questions for Little Xu Station Chief, line up and come forward one by one!”

“Dismissed!”
