73: Chapter 73 With You, the Best Thing in the World

Ye Qingqing's heart skipped a beat when she heard Zuo Yuxing mention Ah Huang.

Ah Huang had been staying in the space while Ye Qingqing was training these past few days.

Although he had freedom, Ah Huang was the only dog there.

Ah Huang would occasionally feel lonely.

At this moment, hearing Zuo Yuxing call his name from within the space, he was so excited he wanted to jump up immediately.

He spun around anxiously in circles within the space.

Barking incessantly!

Ye Qingqing really wanted Ah Huang to shut up, but she couldn't enter the space right now; she rolled her eyes at him several times in her mind.

"Ah Huang is doing great, he's been in the room the whole time."

Hearing this, Zuo Yuxing still wore a gentle smile: "Doesn't Ah Huang get bored being in the room every day?"

Zuo Yuxing knew how small Ye Qingqing's room was, so it wasn't strange for him to ask this.

If Ye Qingqing said Ah Huang didn't get bored, it would definitely be a lie; after all, what dog doesn't like going out to play?

"He does, but I have to train every day and go on duty. Given the current situation, there's no other way."

Zuo Yuxing nodded at her words. This was true; in the current situation, just being able to survive was good enough. It could be said that the people still on this Warship were already very lucky.

To ask for anything more would be a bit greedy.

"Qingqing, I have some good news. They've been recruiting a batch of Volunteer Dogs recently, similar to military dogs. I wonder if Ah Huang would be interested in joining."

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing's heart stirred slightly; this was a good thing for Ah Huang.

When Ah Huang heard Zuo Yuxing's words, he was already jumping around happily inside the space.

How could he not be interested?

If he became a Volunteer Dog, wouldn't he be able to train with Ye Qingqing? Plus, he wouldn't have to stay alone in the space every day.

Ah Huang felt wonderful.

In his heart, Ah Huang also compared the two and felt that Zuo Yuxing was much better than Huo Sixian.

He even thought of Ah Huang for such a good opportunity.

Along with that, Ah Huang remembered that Huo Sixian had scolded him before.

He hated Huo Sixian so much his teeth itched.

"This... this is great news. When does the interview for military dogs start?"

Zuo Yuxing saw the smile curling at the corners of Ye Qingqing's mouth as she spoke, and for a moment, he couldn't help but stare blankly.

Zuo Yuxing hadn't seen Ye Qingqing smile much before.

Ye Qingqing was already good-looking, and the past few days of training had added a touch of sharpness to her face, but the moment her smile appeared...

Zuo Yuxing felt his heart beating extremely fast, as if he had seen the warm sun in winter, making his heart feel warm and cozy.

"You can bring Ah Huang tomorrow. It'll be here at the Training Ground."

Ah Huang, who knew the news inside the space, had changed from spinning in circles to doing parkour in the open area of the space.

Ye Qingqing was on edge, fearing that Ah Huang might accidentally trample the vegetable seedlings she had planted.

Fortunately, Ah Huang was still a dog with a sense of propriety. Although he was doing parkour, not a single step landed on Ye Qingqing's vegetable seedlings.

After Zuo Yuxing left, the bodyguard hiding in the shadows dutifully went to find Xu Xueke to report on today's situation.

Xu Xueke, who hadn't seen this bodyguard for a few days, perked up immediately upon seeing him, thinking he had come to report news about Huo Sixian.

She walked quickly to the bodyguard's side: "Is there news about Brother Si Yan?"

The bodyguard looked cold and shook his head.

Xu Xueke immediately lost her energy, a look of displeasure appearing on her face.

"If there's no news about Brother Si Yan, then why did you come back?"

The bodyguard remained indifferent but said calmly: "Huo Sixian didn't go to find Ye Qingqing, but Zuo Yuxing did."

Xu Xueke had lost heart, but hearing the bodyguard's words, she immediately perked up again.

"Zuo Yuxing? What did he go there for? Tell me everything."

Xu Xueke remembered that Zuo Yuxing was the one who had taken Ye Qingqing to the dormitory before. Normally, his involvement should have ended once she was there.

She didn't expect them to still be in contact.

The bodyguard told Xu Xueke everything that had happened at the Training Ground today.

After listening, a smile appeared on the corners of Xu Xueke's mouth.

"Ye Qingqing, just you wait. I'm going to make you pay for this."

After finishing his report, the bodyguard glanced at Xu Xueke: "My job is over. Get someone else to do the surveillance."

Before Xu Xueke could react, the bodyguard left, not giving her a moment to think.

When Xu Xueke finally snapped out of it, she stood in place, screaming and stomping her feet: "Stop right there! What do you mean by that!"

But the bodyguard didn't want to pay her any mind. Who would want to serve such a difficult young lady? Anyway, he was quitting.

Even if his superiors came looking for him, he wouldn't do it anymore.

They were on a ship anyway, and the Army was short-staffed; surely no one would just throw him overboard?

Slacking off felt good for a moment, but slacking off forever felt even better.

Early the next morning, Ye Qingqing brought Ah Huang to the Training Ground early.

Yesterday was the first time Ye Qingqing had seen Zuo Yuxing since the day of the interview.

She had thought someone else would be interviewing Ah Huang today.

She hadn't expected it to be Zuo Yuxing again.

There were other dogs there to be interviewed along with Ah Huang.

This was also the first time Ye Qingqing had seen other dogs on the Warship.

Excitement shone in Ah Huang's eyes; he hadn't interacted with his own kind in a long time.

"Qingqing, you're here early today too."

Because Ah Huang was happy, Ye Qingqing also had a smile in her eyes: "Yeah, I thought if I came early, I could walk the dog for a bit."

When Ah Huang saw Zuo Yuxing, he was so happy his dog mouth hung wide open.

He hurriedly strained against the leash, wanting to walk over to Zuo Yuxing.

Ye Qingqing felt a bit helpless and had to go along with Ah Huang's wishes.

As soon as Ah Huang got close to Zuo Yuxing, his two paws scrambled up.

He hugged Zuo Yuxing's leg and wouldn't let go.

Ye Qingqing smiled awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Sorry, Ah Huang probably just likes you too much."

How could Ye Qingqing not know what Ah Huang was thinking?

It was simply because Zuo Yuxing had proactively suggested letting him interview for the Volunteer Dogs so he could come out and play; his impression of Zuo Yuxing was excellent!

At this moment, Ye Qingqing had already scolded Ah Huang a thousand times in her heart.

As a dog, how could he be so lacking in restraint!

It was truly embarrassing!

Zuo Yuxing also liked Ah Huang and felt that the dog was very intelligent.

Seeing Ah Huang so close to him, he couldn't help but pat Ah Huang's head.

Feeling the warmth on his head, Ah Huang thought silently: "Zuo Yuxing is still the best. You and I are the best in the world!"
