179 Duan Chen's heart, in chaos

"Xinglan."

The presumptuous "kiss" was obviously just Lin Xinglan's assumption.

Duan Chen called out to her.

Lin Xinglan opened her eyes, her face blushing with embarrassment, but luckily she had thick skin, "Duan Chen, brother... weren't you going to kiss me?"

Duan Chen frowned, "Did Commander Lu say something to you?"

"Commander Lu?"

Lin Xinglan blinked, not quite understanding the meaning behind Duan Chen's words.

Duan Chen took a deep breath, he looked at Lin Xinglan seriously and honestly said to her, "During the selection process for the officer candidates, I made a bet with Commander Lu. The bet was whether you would pass the selection together with Tang Xiaohua or whether you would drag Tang Xiaohua down..."

Lin Xinglan's expression changed slightly,

"Your bet was... the latter?"

Duan Chen nodded.

Lin Xinglan was at a loss for words, Duan Chen's view of her was just like her own view of herself, there shouldn't be any emotions, but... her heart really felt stifled.
