Chapter 2828: Fate's Tricks

“I’m afraid I can’t invite you after all!” Ning Chenyang said, “I’m returning to my unit this afternoon…”

After that, it’s off to participate in the selection for the special forces!

“Special forces selection…” Luo Tong muttered these words, and for a few seconds, she seemed lost in thought.

“Yes. That’s my dream.” Ning Chenyang affirmed, feeling very proud and proud of it.

Luo Tong suddenly laughed, her smile carrying a hint of sarcasm, mixed with some indescribable emotions that made Ning Chenyang frown.

“Why are you laughing like that?” he asked.

“It’s nothing. Just musing over the whims of fate!” Luo Tong laughed helplessly.

“What do you mean?” Ning Chenyang heard her words sounding suggestive and casually pressed for more.

“Just a random comment.” Luo Tong didn’t want to continue, so she shifted the topic away from their previous discussion, “The coffee here is pretty good, why don’t you try a cup? Latte? Or Cappuccino?”

“No, thanks. It’s getting late, I should head to the train station now, I have to report back to the unit tonight!” Ning Chenyang stood up as he spoke, looking at Luo Tong and said again, “I can’t just let you pay for me, so give me your bank account number, and I’ll transfer the money to you!”

Luo Tong’s sharp eyebrows furrowed: “Do you think I would want your money? Chenyang, are you so eager to repay me your debt?”

“Yes! Regardless of whether what I did back then was right or wrong, it did end up disappointing you, and it is a kind of debt! I don’t want to owe you too much, not even as friends!” Ning Chenyang said firmly and decisively.

But from Luo Tong’s perspective, it seemed he was determined to cut ties.

Luo Tong became anxious and her stubbornness flared up: “Do whatever you want! Anyway, I’m not taking your money!”

With that, she stood up and left first.

As she walked out, she loudly warned all the staff in the restaurant: “Whoever dares take his money will be packing their bags and get out!”

Ning Chenyang watched this awkward woman, finding it both infuriating and amusing: “This is the first time I’ve met someone like this!”

After leaving the restaurant, Ning Chenyang took a cab straight to the train station.

The timing was just right; he arrived, got on the train, and headed to Linjiang, arriving there by evening, just in time for dinner.

He went straight back to the dormitory, washed his face, changed into his military uniform, and was about to head to the cafeteria for dinner. At that moment, a comrade who had just finished eating ran back to tell him: “Chenyang, the company commander is looking for you!”

“What’s it about?”

“I don’t know. The company commander said to advance at a run! Be at the company headquarters within ten minutes!”

“Understood.”

Ning Chenyang left the dormitory and dashed towards the company headquarters like a gust of wind, stopped at the entrance and called out “Report,” then pushed the door open and entered directly.

The company commander was sitting behind his desk, holding a document in his hands.

When he saw Ning Chenyang arrive, he handed him the document and said with a bit of regret: “Here you go! The selection for the special forces has started! You’re the only nominee from our company! Just watching my favorite soldier being taken away makes my heart ache… like having my heart and soul stripped away!”

When he first joined the battalion, even during the basic training at the recruit camp, his performance in all aspects was outstanding.

He even sparred with the top veteran warriors from the reconnaissance company, and that guy simply couldn’t beat Ning Chenyang, which amused the company commander to no end; he couldn’t stop mentioning it with a grin on his face.
