Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Chapter 549

Chapter 549: Hopeless Wretch

It was never his intention to be a part of the selection process; he knew his capabilities very well. Everyone sent to the selection was the cream of the crop in their respective platoons. Even though he was decent, he had no experience at all in the wilderness, what good could he do other than being an embarrassment?

Yet, Chen Feitang just had to mention his name in her exchange with Lu Xingzhi.

“I am going.” Lu Xingzhi looked at Chen Feibai with a faint smile on his face. “There’s still a week till the selection. I hope you won’t embarrass the Jin City platoon and me then. It’s okay to be eliminated but it’s embarrassing to be the first one out.”

“Great!”

“Don’t worry!”

The cousins responded simultaneously. One in a happy, while the other in a little more annoyed manner.

Chen Feibai could not understand why Chen Feitang was so happy. Was something wrong with her? What did Lu Xingzhi’s participation have anything to do with her?

Why was she so fixated on a married man?

“We can be partners again and ultimately join the special forces unit together, Lu Xingzhi!” Chen Feitang looked at Lu Xingzhi, her eyes glimmered. Being in the same unit as Lu Xingzhi had always been her biggest dream.

After years of waiting, she finally had a chance to do it.

“No, thank you.” Lu Xingzhi declined. “The document stated clearly that this selection focuses on individual capabilities, I don’t need a partner.”

Lu Xingzhi turned and swiftly walked away, disregarding Chen Feitang’s disappointed expression.

It was not until Lu Xingzhi was out of sight did Chen Feibai laugh mockingly. “He has no, and I mean none, feelings for you. Just how hopeless are you? He’s married and will never look your way.”

“You have no right to comment on my matters, Chen Feibai,” Chen Feitang growled. “Why don’t you put effort into your training? Don’t forget how Grandpa is going to discipline you if you get eliminated.”

“What are you concerned about? You are not taking my place.” Chen Feibai snickered. “My lovely cousin, I don’t need you to look after me. Since you have seen your crush, can you leave now?”

Calling out after Chen Feitang, who walked away ashen-faced, Chen Feibai said, “I’m warning you. The next time you use my name to enter the platoon to see Lu Xingzhi, I’m not letting you off the hook!”

He then turned and went toward Colonel Lin’s office.

Lu Xingzhi looked at the calendar on his table. He was going to Province C next week.

Province C was located in the south. The selection would be held in an unknown mountain at an unknown town in the province.
