Chapter 187: Chapter 164: Jing Chen Protecting the Calf (Second Update)_3

As an older brother, he had already given his warning. As for the rest, it was up to the individual’s own fate and mental fortitude.

Did the kid seriously think his earlier advice was to show mercy? He should count himself lucky that as the team leader, he didn’t have to personally participate. Otherwise... Jing Chen was sure that Mu Lin would create a lasting impression.

Appearances can be deceiving! This phrase was the perfect fit for Mu Lin.

Looking at Mu Lin, Jing Tian found it hard to believe that Jing Chen would send such a dainty girl to a place like Military Camp. Wasn’t that tormenting her? But he had heard that his future sister-in-law was going to be a Military Doctor at Ying Sun, so this basic training was indeed necessary. However, getting it from Ling Qi would probably be a particularly tough ordeal.

Jing Tian expressed deep sympathy.

During this outdoor training, he would certainly pay close attention to and take good care of his sister-in-law.

Well, there was nothing he could do. After all, he was the younger brother!

Jing Tian was convinced that Jing Chen had ulterior motives when he admitted Mu Lin into his own unit.

After all, there was a saying... "the water nearby is the first to reflect the moon."

...

Meanwhile.

After the treatment was complete, Jing Chen was the one who escorted Mu Lin back home. Originally, old master Jing did want to keep Mu Lin for dinner first before leaving, but under his keen yet peculiar gaze, Mu Lin felt that she would be more comfortable resting back at the camp, even though the beds at the camp were no match to those at the Jing residence.

Just in time for dinner, Mu Lin was brought back to the camping site.

She woke up as soon as the car stopped, unfastening her seatbelt and preparing to open the door to get off, only to be stopped by Jing Chen.

"Linlin."

"Hmm?" Mu Lin turned around, apparently becoming used to this address.

It was just a name, and Mu Lin didn’t dwell on it much. Just like how she was addressed as... sister-in-law all day today.

"What’s up, anything else?" Mu Lin asked.

Caught off guard, Mu Lin found herself pulled into an embrace.

"Be careful in the wild. The people under that kid’s command are somewhat capable." Of course, they were merely somewhat capable, at least in Jing Chen’s perspective.

"Okay." Mu Lin nodded, even if he did not instruct, she would have been careful anyways. Moreover, upon hearing the term ’wild’, she knew that the place was her territory. Now that she was in her territory, everything should be under her control.

He let go of Mu Lin, smoothing out the strands of her hair that had fallen onto her forehead. "Alright, go on."

Mu Lin nodded, got out of the car, and shut the door behind her, suddenly asking, "It’s quite a journey from here. Are you going to eat here before leaving?" Well, she was just asking casually.

Jing Chen shook his head. "No, I’ve instructed Song Bo to save some food for me." Also, "If I stay here to have dinner with you, I’m afraid many people would lose their appetites." Why? They would be scared, of course.

After a pause, Jing Chen added, "If you want to have dinner with me, I’ll come find you then. It’ll just be the two of us." A date.

Mu Lin: "Um..." She really didn’t mean it that way, but by the time she regained her senses, Jing Chen’s car was already leaving.

Mu Lin thought, she had indeed spent an odd day; especially Jing Chen, he seemed... a bit strange today.

...

Coming out of the tent, she saw Mu Lin had already returned.

"Mu Lin?" Yue Qiao looked at Mu Lin. She had thought Mu Lin wouldn’t come back until a bit later, and would definitely return after having dinner. Having a meal at Jing’s house was definitely better than having the camp food here.

"Where are the others?" Mu Lin asked.

"We were just about to go call them." Xia Luoyu said.

"Alright." Mu Lin nodded, "Wait for me. I’ll put my things down and join you." Saying this, she headed inside.

The three looked at each other, she actually hadn’t had dinner? Such a pity, she had managed to avoid the camp food.

Just at this moment, a voice asked, "Where’s Mu Lin?" They looked up to see Jing Youlan and a few others had arrived.

"I just saw her come back." Jing Youlan said.

"Yes." Ye Xiwen nodded, "Mu Lin is putting her things inside and will join us for dinner."

"Dinner?" Jing Youlan frowned, "My brother actually didn’t invite Mu Lin for dinner, this is simply..." It depressed him to no end given his brother’s emotional intelligence.

Really now, he didn’t know how to pursue his wife at all.

"What is it?" Mu Lin, who had just come out of the tent, heard this sentence filled with contempt.

"Nothing." Jing Youlan shook his head with a laugh. The next moment, a thoughtful expression appeared on his casual face, "Mu Lin, I just... saw my brother... holding you!"
