The whole night was bored and passed. The next day, it was Felix's team to guard the team, and Qi Lang ushered in a rare rest day.

Qi Lang slept until noon, and when he woke up, he had even missed lunch. But it's not a big deal, no one will accuse him of being lazy, everyone knows very well that Qi Lang is too tired at this time, he is busy almost all the time, in addition to normal training, he also performed a secret mission, and even his coming-of-age ceremony has not been rested, it is time to relax.

For Qi Lang, the best way to relax is to run to Dr. Qom's small clinic, and after the doctor has taken care of the matter at hand, make him small talk, or listen to Yuli's complaints, which will make him feel so relaxed that he can forget all the troubles in his head.

But in this extraordinary period, Sheric Avenue is gone, and the state of martial law there is estimated to remain in place for a considerable period of time, and the only people who can appear on both sides of the road are all kinds of extras. However, it was not a problem, Qi Lang was already quite familiar with Xia Qi Town, although his main activity area on weekdays was still a few fixed places, but he still knew a little about the main roads leading to the doctor's office.

The trail on the eastern outskirts should be the best choice at the moment, although it is farther away, but it is close to the grassland, the air is fresh, the environment is pleasant, and there is a small hillside along the way, where you can see the whole town, which is a good route for relaxation.

The scent of spring has arrived early, and the air is filled with the smell of vanilla, mixed with the fragrance of earth, which is refreshing. Walking on this path, Qi Lang had a feeling of forgetting his worries, as if he was in a peaceful season and there was no fighting in the world.

Over the hillside ahead, and up a short gravel road, Dr. Coombe's clinic is right in front of you. But there seemed to be a barricade there, and although the spiral badge that Qi Lang hung could pass freely through the town, it was probably useless there.

It was a humanoid barricade, and it was Joanna who was guarding it.

Of course, she didn't hold a weapon, wide-eyed, and carefully interrogate every passerby, like a normal card-setting soldier.

She just sat quietly on a rock, her chin in her hands, and looked at the town to the west, not knowing what she was thinking. Her face seemed to be covered with gloom, but Qi Lang secretly guessed that she was just pretending to be deep - girls don't occasionally stare there stupidly, putting on a sad look, in fact, where have they experienced any real problems? They were just glad to be in a daze, to empty their minds of nothing, to think about nothing, to kill some time, and then to sigh mysteriously when they were asked, so that the sympathy of the lads was awakened, and one by one they lost their minds, and even tried to rush over and hold them hard with their strong arms.

Qi Lang has already seen through these little tricks of the girls.

However, right now, Qi Lang was really a little hesitant. It was the bad effect of last night's little quarrel, and Qi Lang couldn't be sure if Joanna had heard his course of action clearly, and then deliberately waited here to find trouble. And the most unfortunate thing is that he has already reached this dead end, if he wants to go back, it will probably take an extra hour, in addition, Qi Lang guessed that Joanna must have seen him, if he retreated at this time, he would definitely be caught by her, and he would inevitably be ridiculed in the future.

What now? Walk over and pretend to ignore her?

It took Qi Lang about two or three minutes before he finally made up his mind: go up and say hello, it's no big deal, and the worst result is to apologize to her - he really should apologize for those words last night.

He walked up, and was about to smile and wave to say hello as he was ready, but unexpectedly, Joanna had already turned his head first.

"Sit with me for a while, okay?" Joanna's expression was calm, without a hint of anger, she must have drunk so much the night that she forgot that Qi Lang had offended her with words.

Qi Lang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his steps became relaxed: "Today's weather is indeed very suitable for looking at the scenery...... However, I should be at Dr. Coombe's office in about fifteen minutes......"

"Sit down!" Joanna's tone was utterly commanding, and her expression was exactly the same as her father's reprimand for Ensign Autran. Although Qi Lang wanted to remind her that the person in front of her was not her follower. But he soon realized that it was a foolish idea - it was a holiday, and the ranks and strict hierarchy should only be left in the barracks.

So, like a normal boy—he certainly was, after all, he had only just turned sixteen—smiled awkwardly, and sat down honestly beside Joanna. "Hmm...... I want to say to you, last night...... I didn't mean to. When Qi Lang apologized tactfully, he was uncomfortable.

Joanna smiled: "I don't remember what happened......"

"That's fine. Qi Lang subconsciously moved his body outward, and at the same time he adjusted his tone, "Of course, I will remember." That's a lesson, I shouldn't be like that...... But I advise you to drink less...... Excessive alcohol consumption can sometimes hurt your brain. ”

Joanna twisted her face. Qi Lang was really worried that she would frown again, because girls were always so moody that people couldn't figure out their temper.

But Joanna didn't. Her expression was still so calm, as if this coming-of-age dance had made her mature early. She just sighed, and then stared into the distance as if nothing happened.

Time passed so slowly, Qi Lang found that his patience had run out, but it seemed that less than a minute had passed.

"I can only sit for about five minutes. He whispered a reminder, "You know, I made an appointment with Dr. Coombe, and at this time of the holiday, ......" Qi Lang was struggling to find an excuse to escape from this place of right and wrong, but he was interrupted by Joanna's inexplicable remark.

"My dad wants me to marry Prince Marcus. ”

"Oh......" Qi Lang's head began to hurt. It was a scene he wasn't very good at dealing with, as he wasn't sure whether to congratulate her or cheer her on.

"Hmm...... Others are good. Qi Lang finally held back a sentence. He felt good about himself in the response, and he was confident that he had said the wrong thing. Of course, Qi Lang didn't know much about Prince Marcus, and this was already the most perfect compliment he could come up with.

Joanna stared at Qi Lang's eyes, as if she wanted to find some additional information from them, and looked at it so seriously, seeing that Qi Lang was furious in his heart, if it wasn't for his efforts to control it, he would almost run away. Qi Lang didn't dare to imagine that he would be so useless, after all, it was only a female soldier sitting in front of him, the difference was that her military uniform was replaced by a soft long skirt, but only the role had changed to a certain extent, and the original majesty was simply lost?

But Joanna didn't seem to be planning to continue the conversation. She just sighed, and looked vacantly ahead: "Do you know, the lucky you and the unfortunate you live in this cold world at the same time, you wouldn't have expected that the passerby who just glanced at you and passed by might be another incarnation of your arrogance." ”

Qi Lang suddenly felt as if his brain was not enough: "Huh...... It seems hard to understand, it's kind of ...... Anyway, it's a bit esoteric. It was the first time he had felt helpless against Joanna.

Joanna twisted her face again. At the same time, Qi Lang secretly moved his body outward - he had an ominous premonition that what Joanna was going to say next must not be a good thing, and Qi Lang must be ready to retreat at any time.

"So," Joanna began, her eyes filled with anticipation, "let's hit the road." ”

"On the way, where are you going?" a cold sweat was running down Qi Lang's back, "I'm sorry, but I didn't inform Dr. Coomb that I would take a guest with me." ”

Joanna stubbornly shook her head: "Take me away, I hate it here." ”

Qi Lang stood up suddenly: "Where should I take you?" You said that you hate here, but it seems that it is your own choice, it was you who ran to this hillside by yourself, and stopped me to say something inexplicable. I'm running out of time, I said I should have been there five minutes before Dr. Coombe, he'd be worried if he got too late......"

Joanna also straightened up and took two steps towards Qi Lang. The aggressiveness in her eyes weakened her voice, and her own voice completely prevailed: "I don't want to go to Dr. Coombe, and I don't want to stay in this town of Shachi. You must take me away, as far as possible, preferably out of this country, to a place where no one can find us. ”

This is a bold suggestion, to Qi Lang's ears, this seems to be a request for elopement! The joke is too big, Qi Lang really can't take this trick, so he completely retreats: "Are you kidding me, Joanna, or are you still drunk?"

Seeing Qi Lang's reaction, Joanna seemed to be a little disappointed, but she only sighed habitually, smiled faintly and said, "I'm playing with you, but I'll let you go now." Good afternoon, Sergeant Qi Lang. ”
