Chapter 319: Chapter 311: The Two Tigresses
Sisi dared to speak of accompanying her to the death because she was sure that Liu Xuelian simply didn’t have the guts. The Liu family has never walked the path of righteousness; they would never risk their lives for fame!
Besides, going to the frontline isn’t that simple. Can an ordinary civilian just go as they please? The frontline would be in a mess if that were the case!
Of course, if Liu Xuelian really had the determination, then she could join her. Speaking of which, Sisi has the Space and doesn’t need to worry about safety at all. It’s Liu Xuelian who’s likely to lose her life!
Humph, if she loses it, then so be it. It would be best if all the Liu family members died off. That way, her anger would be quelled and she could take some petty revenge.
But Liu Xuelian didn’t react at all. What’s the deal with Shangguan Feifei and Zhang Jie? Why are they more enthusiastic than Sisi, the person actually involved? They’re jumping around making a spectacle!
"Sisi, I heard you challenged that silly flower of the Liu family?" Zhang Jie’s eyes sparkled.
"Wrong, it’s the silly flower Liu Xuelian who understands the great responsibility. She voluntarily went to the frontlines to fight bravely. I’m just following to collect her body!" Sisi replied lazily.
"Ah, isn’t that the same thing, Sisi? Let’s go together?" Zhang Jie dropped a bombshell, frying Sisi tender on the outside but raw inside.
"Zhang Jie, are you feverish?"
"No, I’m perfectly fine! Sisi, let’s go to Yunnan together!"
Zhang Jie repeated, and Shangguan nodded vigorously. Ever since Sisi introduced these two, they’ve hit it off well and became good sisters. It’s tough for Lei Gang, getting bullied by Zhang Jie to an unbearable extent, not to mention with another helper now, Lei Gang is doomed to never rise again!
"Shangguan, why are you joining the excitement?"
Sisi held her forehead. Is this a team-up for a frontline tour?
"My brother is on the frontline," Shangguan answered simply.
Sigh, one for her lover, one for her brother, both have reasons too compelling to reject. This isn’t as simple as visiting relatives out of town; just having time and money won’t suffice. That’s a frontline, a battlefield where one might die at any moment. She can’t just watch her friends be foolish.
"No way, aren’t you studying anymore? Besides, going to the frontline isn’t that easy, okay? You can’t even get in, and I might not even go! That Snow Lotus, I bet she’s scared witless." Sisi tried her best to dissuade them.
"If Liu Xuelian goes to the battlefield, will you go, Sisi?" Zhang Jie asked, her eyes spinning.
"You guys think too highly of that Snow Lotus. Just her who has the guts? I counted on her not daring to go, that’s why I said that. Even if she wants to go, she simply can’t get to the frontline. Is it her own house or what?"
Sisi rolled her eyes at the two of them, really two silly girls, thinking the frontline is their backyard, just go whenever they want!
Zhang Jie, this girl, looked quite stable before on the grasslands, but since coming to Beijing she seemed to have been reborn, becoming more and more frivolous, not a trace of her former stability.
Regarding the drastic change in character before and after, according to this girl’s explanation, back in Inner Mongolia her mother was strict, demanding her to be a lady who never shows her teeth when smiling, moves like the wind, and sits like a bell. So she had to restrain her nature, tucking her tail and living stiflingly.
Now that she was finally back with her grandparents, how could she not let loose the nature that had been suppressed all this time, and live a bit more unrestrainedly? Otherwise, once her mother returned to Beijing, she would not have good days to look forward to.
Zhang Jie and Shangguan left dejectedly without her support. Before they left, Sisi warned them, "Zhang Jie, Shangguan, rest assured, from what I see, the frontline battle will probably end soon, and we won’t have to wait too long."
What Sisi said was not without merit. Today was February 25th, and in about twenty days, both China and Vietnam would likely announce a ceasefire. The main assault troops would be withdrawn and replaced by other units. She believed that Tian Xinhua and Lei Gang would be back very soon.
However, Sisi had underestimated the determination of Shangguan and Zhang Jie. The next day, Shangguan did not come to school, neither did Liu Xuelian. Sisi was somewhat prepared for Liu Xuelian’s absence, thinking that before the end of the war, Liu Xuelian wouldn’t dare to show her face at school, justifying Sisi’s pressure on her the day before.
But why hadn’t Shangguan come? A sudden tightness gripped Sisi’s heart, and she turned to ask Zhu Yun Xiu, "Yun Xiu, why didn’t Shangguan come to school?"
"Shangguan took medical leave for half a month. She seemed fine yesterday, how could she suddenly become sick?" Zhu Yun Xiu murmured.
Medical leave? Sisi’s scalp tightened, and she had a bad feeling, so she rushed out.
"Sisi, where are you going?"
"Yun Xiu, please take a leave for me!"
Before the words had even fully left her lips, Sisi had already bolted from the classroom. She first rode her bike back to Yun Mansion, took Tian Xinhua’s jeep, and left. For some unknown reason, as if possessed, Sisi had grabbed a few cans of gasoline from the garage and placed them in the car.
Sisi drove to Beijing University, and sure enough, as expected, Zhang Jie had also taken leave, similarly half a month’s medical leave.
These two tigresses, they must have really gone to Yunnan! Sisi was both angry and anxious, not knowing when these two had left, or whether they had boarded a train. She had barely made a few good friends in her life, and she couldn’t bear to see her friends get into trouble!
Sisi pressed the gas pedal to rush to the train station, hoping she could still catch up, praying silently to herself. However, upon arriving at the train station, she happened to hear the platform broadcast announce that the train to Kunming, Yunnan, had already departed.
Sisi patted her head in frustration, hurrying back to the car, and drove off chasing the green train that had just left the station.
Yes, she was chasing the train. With the current train speed only at about forty to fifty kilometers per hour, and having just left the station, it wouldn’t be moving too fast. She could definitely catch up and drag those two bold and foolish girls back.
On the train, Zhang Jie and Shangguan were seated in a regular carriage. Both had slightly disguised themselves, wearing old military uniforms and caps. The uniforms were somewhat oversized, making it somewhat comical on their slender frames. But no matter how comical it looked, these uniforms would serve as good protection and save them a lot of trouble.
"Shangguan, do you think we can find them?" Zhang Jie was somewhat excited, as if she was about to undertake a significant deed.
"Yes, we have a map!" Shangguan responded without lifting her eyelids, resting with her eyes closed against the seat.
Zhang Jie was already accustomed to Shangguan’s laconic way of speaking and didn’t mind. she added, "I wonder when Sisi will guess that we went to Yunnan? Hehe!"
Meanwhile, Sisi was in hot pursuit of the Beijing to Kunming train at the highest speed her car could manage. Due to the poor road conditions, her heart was nearly pounding out of her chest, and she was feeling dizzy with her whole body aching!
Zhang Jie, Shangguan Feifei, I will never make you delicious food again!
