Chapter 74 - Big… Big… Big Sister….. (1/2)

“Sister-in-law?”

Qin Fen had encountered many bizarre things recently, so he thought he would no longer be shocked by anything Squad Leader Hao and the others would say. However, he never thought that he would suddenly have his biggest shock since entering the military.

A shy flush of red flashed across Phoenix’s face, something rarely seen, as she heard the word sister-in-law.

“It’s pretty much true.” Squad Leader Hao made a show of pondering as he thought aloud, “If your older brother had agreed to marry her on that day, then you would really need to open your mouth and call Phoenix sister-in-law.”

Not a hint of anger appeared on Phoenix’s face when she heard Squad Leader Hao mention about Qin Zhan agreeing to marry her on that day, instead a few fain streaks of sadness flashed in her eyes.

“So, Phoenix.” Squad Leader Hao patted Qin Fen on the shoulder, “What do you think? If Qin Zhan finds out that you crippled your brother-in-law….”

Phoenix’s expression turned even more gloomy. Aside from being a shocking and low-key super genius, Qin Zhan was a very very affectionate person.

Back then, the European recruits had come for an exchange, beating up them as recruits. It was Qin Zhan who had secretly met up with the European recruits at the beach and beat them to a pulp. The European recruits had come standing but left in stretchers.

The heroic image of Qin Zhan fighting that night as a prideful chosen of heaven still often appeared in Phoenix’s dreams to this day.

“You too, Qin Fen! How can you use such an underhanded and vile fighting style against your big sister-in-law? You’re still not apologizing to your sister-in-law?” Squad Leader Hao acted as the mediator. He was often a trouble maker, but he would never damage the sentiments between others from his trouble making.

He caused trouble for the sake of increasing affection between everyone. These were the words that Squad Leader Hao and the other people who Phoenix called scum shared between themselves.

Squad Leader Hao pushed Qin Fen in the back with his palm, pushing him in front of Phoenix, who also had a face full of embarrassment. Qin Fen had instinctively chose the best fighting style to fight back, but this had drawn him into such a situation.

Looking at Phoenix, who was just as embarrassed, Qin Fen gaped, “Big…Big….”

The words ‘big sister-in-law’… Qin Fen suddenly realized that they were extremely hard to say. Right when he was about to switch the way he was going to address her, he suddenly realized that the glow of extreme expectation flickered within the eyes of Phoenix’s embarrassed expression.

Qin Fen was far too familiar with such emotions. He too had the exact same expression as Phoenix every time he urgently wanted to obtain a job.

“Big sister-in-law…. I’m sorry…. My body reacted by instinct.”

His speech was bumpy. It felt even more tiresome than sprinting all out for ten-thousand meters. He secretly speculated to himself that his older brother should likely have married this Phoenix. Otherwise, what he just said would be a big misfortune.

“No…No problem! One should try to win in fighting. For the sake of winning, any means can be used.”

Phoenix suddenly became much more open and welcoming. Her happy expression flooded her cheeks and forehead.

The word ‘sister-in-law’ had not only blown away the bad feelings in Phoenix’s heart, it had caused her to feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. Qin Fen, who had been extremely unpleasing to the eye a moment ago, had suddenly changed to be incomparably pleasing to the eye. He was much more pleasing to the eye than the other scum in the room.

Qin Zhan had suddenly disappeared a few years ago. Not only did he not leave any promises or an engagement, there had been zero information about him in these years. Only Phoenix was clear on the emotions in her own heart.

Even though it was just a mention of ‘sister-in-law’, Phoenix felt a sense of satisfaction she never felt before. She was happy. She was delighted. It was a happiness far greater than completing any military mission no matter how difficult.

Gradually, Phoenix’s eyes, which carried a smile, became a bit moist. Though she was an expert of considerable strength, she was incapable of controlling her own tears. Yet she could rely on her steel-like willpower to forcefully control some of her emotions.
