Chapter 232 Host, your man is quite the fighter!
"Host, from now on, you can return to the Qingshan Brigade in an instant. If the male head of the household encounters any danger, you can also arrive at his side immediately!"
"Tongtong, are you so awesome? Does Meng Peiyu know?"
"Of course I don't know! If she knew, what would it have to do with you!"
Qiao Manman narrowed her eyes slightly: "Tongtong, I think you're not being honest! With so many overpowered items in the system shop, how could you not compete with the female lead's cheat ability?"
In several meetings, apart from the dark aura, I didn't discover any other abilities she might have!
Could it be that you're hiding your true strength?
The system shuddered: "She may not have the tools, but she's ruthless. She's capable of anything when pushed to the limit!"
"Host, don't tell me you still don't know where this space came from! You and Meng Peiyu are natural enemies!"
Qiao Manman awkwardly touched her nose: "I did have a guess, but you've never given me a direct answer. Besides, you even managed to steal the space from her..."
"Hey, hey, hold on! Don't think of Tongtong as something so despicable! Although I used some underhanded tactics, it was only because of the circumstances! You don't want the new China that our predecessors worked so hard to build to be destroyed by Meng Peiyu's selfishness, do you?"
"That's true!"
"Good luck, host! Try to take over all of her space. Then you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't do anything immoral!"
"No way... I'd kill Meng Peiyu and end up benefiting someone else, wouldn't I?"
"No, host, the system assures you that the space will always be yours. As long as you have the world in your heart, Heaven will protect you for all eternity!"
Qiao Manman laughed: "It's quite tempting! By the way, Tongtong, did the space area expand this time?"
"Ah, haha, no! Taking out the spatial storage would be too noisy, and the female lead would be emotionally unstable. Let's talk about it again later!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "Okay, all of you!"
I took out a plate of lychees from my spatial storage and ate them while watching a movie. The movie was about a miraculous escape from a desperate situation—quite fitting for the time.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Qiao Manman stayed at home all day eating but not moving, and she felt that her figure had become a bit rounder.
Zhang Danqiu came to her door and asked, "We're making dumplings on New Year's Eve, do you want to come to the cafeteria to join in the fun?"
"Great, I've got nothing to do anyway. But sister-in-law, I'm not a very good cook, can I just eat and not cook?"
Zhang Danqiu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sure, there are so many people, we don't need you!"
Oh, by the way, there will be an interactive segment during the evening performance by the cultural troupe. Usually, talented military spouses volunteer to perform, but it seems they're planning something new this year, so be prepared!
"Even if they come up with new ways to play, they might not let me go on stage."
"That's hard to say! You're new and young, who else would the troupe call on if not you! Don't be afraid, we've all been there, at most you'll embarrass yourself, it's nothing!"
Qiao Manman sighed: "Then I'll prepare a joke and tell it to everyone later."
Zhang Danqiu nodded, chatted with Qiao Manman for a while, and then left.
Qiao Manman nestled on the bench and ate a roasted sweet potato before returning to her bedroom to continue her work.
Two days later, after getting ready to go see the performance, I had just put on my cotton-padded coat when I heard someone downstairs shouting, "Commander Lu is back! Commander Lu is back!"
Qiao Manman: "......"
She rushed out the door in a panic, and seeing the disheveled figure staggering towards her in the distance, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Why is he in such a sorry state? He looks like he came out of a savage's den, dirty and haggard.
"Lu Yuan!" Qiao Manman rushed forward and hugged him tightly. "Where have you been? Aunt Chen said you fell into the icy lake. Are you hurt?"
"No, no!" His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time. Or perhaps he had talked too much and hurt his throat.
"Let's go home!" Qiao Manman had just finished speaking when she realized that Lu Yuan had fainted in her arms.
Startled, she quickly slapped his face: "Lu Yuan, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
The young soldier beside him quickly checked Lu Yuan's breathing. Seeing that his breathing was steady, he reassured him, "Sister-in-law, Battalion Commander Lu just suddenly relaxed and fell asleep. Don't be afraid, let him sleep it off!"
Qiao Manman nodded and asked, "Where did he come from? What about the others? Were they injured?"
"Battalion Commander Lu carried his wounded comrade for three days and three nights... Fortunately, he returned and successfully completed his mission!"
What the young soldier didn't mention was that Lu Yuan and his team exceeded their mission expectations. They completely annihilated the remaining overseas forces and obtained their internal information.
At the same time, the squad's fighting strength was preserved, and the leaders were impressed by the minimal loss of two dead and three wounded.
Of course, the two who died were traitors and insignificant. Of the three wounds, one was in the leg, one in the arm, and one in the waist and abdomen.
He was rushed to the military hospital for emergency treatment as soon as he returned. Despite his exhaustion, Lu Yuan reported to his superiors, refused the doctor's examination, and went straight to the family compound.
Seeing Qiao Manman, he felt completely relieved. Overwhelmed by exhaustion, he collapsed against his will.
Qiao Manman breathed a sigh of relief as she listened to his strong heartbeat.
Together with the young soldier, they helped the person home and put them on a bed.
"Young comrade, could you please tell Commander Qin's wife that I won't be able to go to the cultural troupe's performance with her tonight?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, I will definitely pass on the message."
"Thank you so much for bringing Lu Yuan back today."
"I should thank Battalion Commander Lu for bringing my brothers back safe and sound!"
Qiao Manman saw the other person off, went back into the house, and took off Lu Yuan's dirty cotton-padded coat.
Seeing his body covered in bruises, I wondered what kind of intense situation could cause someone wearing protective clothing to suffer so many injuries.
I took out a handkerchief to wipe his body. After wiping away the dark mud, I discovered that he had a new scar on his face.
There were also marks on the back of his head where he had been hit by a heavy object, and his hair was stuck together, looking like blood that had been dried for a long time.
Qiao Manman sighed and asked the system, "Can I use points to examine his body?"
"Okay, host, you can take him in... just find any room and put him there, as long as the system energy can pass through his body!"
Qiao Manman asked cautiously, "Has the female lead gone out?"
"I left the residential compound five minutes ago to go see a performance."
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and led Lu Yuan into the guest room of the villa. She then went in herself and spent 100 points to give him a medical check-up.
Fifteen minutes later, the system voice came: "It's not a big problem. Apart from the concussion, it's all superficial injuries."
"Host, your man's a real fighter! Judging from the marks, he fought at least ten people. He's incredibly lucky to have survived!"
Qiao Manman lifted Lu Yuan's left hand, his wrist empty: "No wonder he was so badly injured, he squandered all the amulets!"
If it weren't for the system shop, or if I hadn't prepared things for him in advance, I probably wouldn't have even gotten a bite of meat before going back to being single.
It's really sad to think about.
