Chapter 2272 - 2274: Welfare Bonanza 11

"What’s wrong with female trainees? Under my leadership, there are only the strong and the weak, not male or female!"

That day, Qingqing was exhausted, feeling that both her body and spirit were pushed to the limit. The captain stood in front of her, like a cold-blooded man: "Do you know why I have different standards for you?"

Qingqing shook her head. She didn’t want to admit defeat.

"Do you want me to leave Dark K voluntarily?"

To her surprise, the captain said, "Among the trainees who meet the standards every year, there is only one spot available to become the master’s personal guard — the most outstanding one!"

Qingqing raised her gaze, her eyes flickering with complex emotions.

"Did you hear me clearly? It’s just a chance!"

"Someone from above has expressed their hope that you can become the most outstanding one!" the captain said. "Don’t expect anyone to give you special privileges. If you want that spot, the only thing you can rely on is strength."

Qingqing bit her lip hard: "Understood!"

She was determined to fight for that spot, not just to become a careful guard, but to strive for first place. She wanted to prove her strength and show others that women are not inferior to men, and sometimes women can be stronger than men!

...

In Melbourne, Australia, in the courtyard of the Wishing Tree, dust flew around as a car came to a stop.

Maimai unwillingly climbed out from the passenger seat. After she got out, Sheng Sheng backed up the car, parked it steadily, and got out.

Opening the trunk, there were a lot of groceries. Sheng Sheng took several large bags and brought them into the house.

They were all daily necessities bought from a nearby supermarket, enough for them to live on for about five days.

But it’s unlikely they would stay here for five days; they would probably get bored after three or four days.

Maimai wiped off the stone bench at the entrance of the courtyard, sat on it, and took a selfie with her phone, posting: Revisiting my homeland with my beloved man. When I was thirteen, I made the most beautiful wish here.

This wasn’t the first time she’d returned after many years. The last time Sheng Sheng disappeared, there was even a shootout here.

But that time it was at night, dark and dangerous, filled with the smell of gunpowder and slaughter. She didn’t stay long at all and left in a hurry that night, and thinking of it made her shiver. She felt that such a beautiful place was tainted!

Will there be ghosts at night?

Oh Lord, please don’t come looking for me, or for my dear Sheng Sheng. You all deserve to be dead!

"Maimai, come help out." Sheng Sheng called to her from inside the house.

Maimai poked her head in but didn’t move a muscle. She wasn’t about to help tidy up the house, too dusty and dirty, and she didn’t like housekeeping anyway. Instead, she just sat there, touched up her makeup from her makeup bag.

Sheng Sheng came out while taking off his coat, carrying a basin with a cloth in it.

"Go fetch some water for me from the lake over there." Sheng Sheng’s gaze fell on her high heels and added, "Change into sneakers first."

"Oh." Maimai reluctantly went to change her shoes, muttering, "The water is so heavy, I can’t carry it. Why don’t you go?" She hugged him, acted coquettishly, "I’ll sing and dance to cheer you on!"

With that, she started swaying in place.

Sheng Sheng sighed, "There’s food in the house, so why don’t you sit here and have something to eat to quench your thirst."

"I’ll go with you; I’ll be the cheerleader while you work." Maimai thought for a moment and said, "This is what they call a perfect collaboration — men and women working together, and it’s not tiring!"
