The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He

C194 – An Overflowing Basis

“If I perish, who’ll escort you to paradise?”

Zuo Bo swiftly followed with a wicked grin, his voice projecting at its customary volume. The nearby soldiers caught every word, prompting a fresh round of banter.

Damn it! No matter how many times Zuo Bo heard their remarks, they always left him feeling sheepish!

Warden Zuo Bo seemed to be the only one unflappable enough to retort without hesitation.

Good grief! He could even banter in the midst of military duty! Spare a thought for the single dog. Perhaps it was time to find him a suitable companion? They were all influenced by the colonel and his wife, after all.

A soldier mused silently, stealing glances at his comrades. Some of them weren’t half bad looking, he noted, entirely in the natural order of things.

Yet, there were also puzzled murmurs and lamentations:

But who was the true alpha between Zuo Bo and the second lieutenant? Or… were they in cahoots? But that didn’t quite fit either! The second lieutenant seemed more suited to being the dominant one.

[Our charming Second Lieutenant is willing to relinquish her status like this. Though we hate to see her go, we can’t tolerate the sadistic tendencies of a Second Lieutenant. Let’s hand the reins over to Governor Zuo Bo!]

A match made in heaven! Let’s offer our blessings!

This consensus marked the end of the soldiers’ deliberations. Then, uncertain of their next move, they exchanged glances.

Soldier A: Was this guy always this handsome?

Soldier B: When did he become so rugged?

Soldier C: Decent physique. I bet he’s got some solid martial arts skills too!

Soldier D: Why not try confessing? Maybe he’ll say yes in this atmosphere.

Soldier E: Let’s gather intel on him tonight!

Soldier F: What the hell! Why is he staring at me? Don’t tell me you’re interested?

Soldier G: Why does the atmosphere suddenly feel so bizarre? All eyes turned to observe their comrades’ thoughts. The army was indeed a treacherous terrain!

…

These were the musings of soldiers observing their peers. Some had lovers, while others fretted over potential explosions.

Yet, it was evident that certain soldiers were genuinely influenced. Hee Jingyan and Xu Yangyi had already stirred up quite a stir, and with Zuo Bo and Loong Shen now in the mix, some soldiers couldn’t resist the temptation.

However, the inner turmoil of the soldiers didn’t perturb Zuo Bo and Loong Shen. On the contrary, upon hearing Zuo Bo’s flippant remarks, Loong Shen furrowed his brows once more. Zuo Bo showed no inclination for self-reflection.

“Mr. Zuo Bo is quite the considerate soul!” Loong Shen forced a facade of indifference, attempting to appear composed, but the disdain in his tone was unmistakable! Feigning indifference merely highlighted their vulnerabilities, rendering them all the more transparent.

Zuo Bo found the current Loong Shen utterly endearing, his rising intonation adding an amusing twist, especially since the former Loong Shen preferred his blade to his tongue.

“Is it so difficult for you to admit you’re concerned?” While the words should have carried a somber tone, Zuo Bo delivered them with a smile, his gaze fixed on Loong Shen with a fiery intensity. Though the desire to devour Loong Shen whole wasn’t as pronounced as usual, he remained unabashedly exposed.
