Chapter 171 Stubborn Charm!

he southeastern provinces is indeed too great. With Tang Jian absent, there's no clear leader for the various factions to follow, and they've already started operating independently despite my prior p...Chapter 171: Obstinate Charm!

"Xinye, our recruit period is over. There's a gathering tonight."

"What kind of gathering I'm not interested. You guys go have fun; I'll stay in the dormitory."

In the female soldier’s dorm room, seven or eight women dressed in camouflage uniforms were chatting while folding their clothes. These girls came from all corners of China to Ningxia and would be separating again in three days.

The recruit period was over, and in three days, they would report to their respective companies.

"We sisters are going; what's the point of you staying in your dorm" The speaker was Xu Lei, a local Ningxia girl standing at more than five feet seven inches tall. She had an elegant figure and looked rather pretty, especially her long legs which seemed full of elasticity. However, for some reason, this soldier's face would inadvertently reveal a hint of charm that was undoubtedly lethal to men with weak willpower.

"I don't really feel like going."

"No can do! You have to come; otherwise how are we supposed to get the party started Even for our sake, you should go and join us. Please" Xu Lei shook Han Xinye's arm with pleading eyes.

She had already promised Cheng Shi that she would arrange a meeting between him and Han Xinye. As someone born and raised in Ningxia, Xu Lei was well aware of the influence of this man named Cheng Shi; thus, she wanted to curry favor with him even if it meant helping him pursue other women.

After encountering Cheng Shi during recruit training, Xu Lei had been ecstatic, secretly throwing countless flirtatious glances at Young Master Cheng. In return, Cheng Shi had cooperated by sneaking around and fooling around in the men's bathroom with her.

"Alright then." Han Xinye smiled.

The sunlight in Ningxia was stronger than that of the capital city. After three months of recruit training, Han Xinye’s skin, which had once been as smooth and delicate as milk, disappeared; instead, she now had a pale golden tan. She seemed to have grown slightly taller and lost some weight. As for whether her bust had changed... it was impossible to tell with the naked eye.

Han Xinye performed exceptionally well during recruit training. This little girl from a military family彷彿繼承了韓脫俗的那股子氣勢，一旦脫離了曾經那個庇護自己的環境，那麼她就立刻變成了外表柔弱內心變形金剛的傢夥。

In the translated part, the sentence "this little girl from a military family" should be followed by "seemed to have inherited Han Tuosu's unique aura. Once she was no longer under the protection of her previous environment, she immediately turned into someone whose soft exterior hid an indomitable spirit." The rest of the text does not need translation adjustments as it is already accurately translated and fits within your specified guidelines.

The passage of time is like a sharp knife, no longer the tomboy from the past.

A sudden growth has made Han Xing Ye somewhat indifferent. However, lacking her former carefree and mischievous nature makes people feel as if this little girl has become a completely different person.

She had asked herself countless times whether hastily deciding to join the military and leaving the capital city to give up her luxurious life was a wise decision. To date, she hasn't found an answer in her heart. Yet, Xing Ye clearly realizes that when facing the endless yellow sand around Ningxia Military Region and the white birch trees standing tall within it, she has no regrets.

No regrets are enough.

Han Xing Ye understands that even if she joins the military, she can't achieve her grandfather or father's level and cannot accomplish the mission of restoring the Han family for a third time. However, Xing Ye simply wants to ensure that neither of these two tiger-like figures would be embarrassed by her.

Although only a few high-ranking officials in Ningxia Military Region know this girl’s true identity, she feels many eyes are watching her with malicious intent—both in Ningxia and the capital. What she needs to do is focus on training diligently without complaining about hardship or fatigue, not tarnishing the reputation of their family's warrior women.

During these three months, there have been plenty who sought out information about Han Xing Ye with an intention to mock her, but they were all shocked by what they discovered: Upon the end of basic training, Ningxia Military Region honored three individuals as 'Advanced Role Models', and Han Xing Ye was one of them! Moreover, she is the first woman in the region’s history to receive this honor!

This award fittingly belongs to her because everyone can see clearly that this little girl exhibits a stubborn resolve on the training field.

Female soldiers are few and far between in basic training units, so Han Xing Ye has become a heartthrob for all of Ningxia Military Region. The men cannot help but feel sympathy when they see her determined gaze.

Might it be only around Shangguan Shishi and Sheng Fei that Han Xing Ye can momentarily ease the heavy burden she bears, letting the pain in her shoulders slightly diminish A person's growth truly brings about changes others find incredible.

During this period, the person who most frequently appeared in Han Xing Ye’s mind was not her parents who raised her nor her childhood friend Shangguan Shishi, but a man—a man hugging an old dog on the ground and weeping uncontrollably.

The scene of that day is deeply etched into Han Xing Ye's heart and often surfaces in her mind at night. That figure gave her feelings she had never experienced from childhood to adulthood—touching emotions.

"Great, Star Night, as long as you agree, it's great!" In order to please Young Master Cheng, Xu Lei put a lot of effort into this; fortunately, this time she didn't disappoint him. However, seeing how close she was to deceiving Han Xing Ye into becoming a plaything for Cheng Shi, a strange jealousy sprang up in her heart. Of course, if Xu Lei were to know the true identity of Han Xing Ye, that speck of envy might quickly turn to flattery and sycophancy.

"Starting from today, we have three days off. Shall we change into clothes and go shopping Then, in the evening, we can eat out and sing at a KTV. What do you think" Xu Lei's suggestion was met with unanimous agreement from all the female soldiers.

"Xiyue, what about you" Xu Lei turned to look at Han Xiyue who had been silent until now.

"I... I'll go with you guys too." After a moment of hesitation, Han Xiyue finally spoke up.

During this period, Han Xiyue always seemed somewhat out of place. Of course, it was also because her performance had been exceptionally outstanding during this time. Women's jealousy is often quite strong. Since Han Xiyue was the sweetheart of the entire military district, other female soldiers naturally felt uncomfortable and would unconsciously distance themselves from her.

However, as a so-called little princess of the capital's military district, Comrade Han Xiyue wouldn't bother with these women who had too narrow-minded views. The level she interacted with was something those female soldiers could never touch throughout their lives.

Afther dressing up, a group of female soldiers chattered and left like cheerful sparrows.

Xu Lei was the most eye-catching among them, wearing a white fox fur coat on top. The fluffy texture gave her an elegant yet cute look. She wore thin boot pants that revealed hints of her elastic legs, sparking endless imagination in others. Her feet were clad in thigh-high boots, accentuating her slender figure. This was truly about style over substance—beautiful but cold.

As Xu Lei walked along the way, she attracted many male soldiers' gazes, filling her with a sense of pride that made her already ample bosom stick out even higher, like an arrogant peacock.

In contrast, Han Xiyue was much more understated. She didn't wear those pink Hello Kitty clothes anymore and only put on an unmarked military green workwear jacket over her sweater. Her lower body was in a pair of ordinary-looking blue jeans with a pair of sheepskin ankle boots, simple yet fitting her innocent look well, adding to her cuteness while also exuding grace.

Xu Lei looked at Han Xiyue disdainfully and thought to herself: "Apart from being a little prettier and having bigger boobs than me, what else can she compete with me on"

However, if Xu Lei knew that the workwear coat Han Xiyue had her label cut off was this season's latest release of one of the world’s top luxury brands Imaning, she would likely be so surprised her jaw would drop.

Even those seemingly ordinary blue jeans were from Mango's classic collection in Spain.

Well, it must be said that sometimes certain designers at these international luxury brands like to follow the trends of Chinese street vendors.

Just as Xu Lei and her group reached the army district's main gate, they ran into Cheng Shi and his crew.

This group of male soldiers had changed into civilian clothes and were preparing to go out for three days of fun. When these guys saw Xu Lei and her companions, the looks in their eyes made these female soldiers even more proud.

Of course, most of the men's gazes focused on Han Xinye, who was walking at the back. This sweet and adorable girl looked even more charming when wearing casual clothes.

Seeing Han Xinye like this made Cheng Shi drool; originally a playboy, he didn't bother to rein himself in after entering the military camp but threw his father's advice out of the window. His lustful eyes were glued straight onto Han Xinye as if wanting to devour her at once, though unfortunately, Han Xinye ignored this self-satisfied young master from Yinchuan.

"Xinye, let’s gather tonight and hear your beautiful singing; you must perform a few songs for us," Cheng Shi walked up to Han Xinye and said in what he thought was a gentlemanly manner.

With a faint smile, Han Xinye replied, "I have laryngitis today. I'll just listen to your singing."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi couldn't help but feel upset; since childhood, he had been spoiled and never received such treatment before. But determined to win over Han Xinye, he endured the discomfort, forcing a smile: "Then you must drink plenty tonight, otherwise it will be difficult for us to meet once we are assigned to different battalions."

Han Xinye, however, rolled her eyes and said, "Why do I always feel like you're trying to get me drunk on purpose"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi's face turned pale with anger.

Han Xinye was already shrewd for her age. After witnessing countless power struggles over the years, how could she miss out on Cheng Shi’s intentions

No one noticed that at this moment, a red Jeep Wrangler pulled up in front of the army district's main gate.

Wang Zheng, dressed in a windbreaker, opened the passenger door. Through his sunglasses, he saw Han Xinye surrounded by male soldiers who were talking to her; Han Xinye’s expression was clearly unhappy, and Wang Zheng's face instantly turned cold.

Lǐ Tiānshū also got out of the car and smiled as he wanted to say something to Wang Zheng. However, seeing this scene, even his naturally stern face showed a frosty demeanor, muttering lowly: "How outrageous!"his cargo ship, increasing vigilance certainly wouldn’t hurt."This is Bolivia in South America; no matter how powerful your Chinese National Security forces are, they probably can’t operate freely her...
