Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

"The ’One, Two, Three, Four Song’?" Mu Xingfeng couldn’t recall ever hearing of such a song. Though he had been here for quite a while, he rarely sang. Even if he had heard those military songs, they never really stayed with him.

"Yeah, Lin Junyang’s been missing somewhere since yesterday. If he were around, we would’ve rehearsed already. Captain, would you like to join us?" Ding Liang continued.

"Yeah, Captain, with you on board, we’ll surely win an award this time! Those other guys can’t even compare to a finger of yours," He Qing chimed in from the side.

As the two bantered back and forth, Captain Tao grew dissatisfied, "Hey, hey, you two. Even if you’re flattering your captain, there’s no need to belittle others, right? What’s wrong with our chorus? I think it’s great, very powerful indeed."

However, Mu Xingfeng had no interest in their flattery and looked at Ding Liang and He Qing as if they were idiots, "I have a wife, why would I want to perform with you guys?"

Well, their flattery failed, and instead, they got a mouthful of reality to chew on, leaving a lasting psychological mark on Ding Liang and He Qing.

Haha, you’re the captain, whatever makes you happy.

Chief Guard Wang chuckled from the side, "You two should hear that, right? Better hurry up and find yourselves a wife. In more ways than one, you should really learn from your captain. Not only does he excel in all the skills of the Guard Team, but he also gives the leadership no reason to worry about his personal life."

Ding Liang pouted, "Chief Guard Wang makes it sound easy. If finding a wife was that simple, it would be great. Now, how many girls are interested in being with a soldier? My family asked someone to set me up with someone, but as soon as they heard I was in the military, they immediately rejected me, not even bothering to meet. All they say is, ’Poor soldier, no—mo—ney!’ "

Emphasizing the last three words, Ding Liang dragged them out, full of self-mockery.

"Exactly, my previous relationship ended because I was away with the Guard Team and couldn’t go home often. Ultimately, we’re just waiting for the Guard Team to hand out wives to us," He Qing laughed along facetiously.

"You punks, if the Guard Team handed out wives, you’d all be over the moon!" Chief Guard Wang laughed and cursed as he stood up, "I’m going home to check on my wife. She mentioned wanting to perform with me for the fellow soldiers, and I disagreed before. But after hearing Xingfeng’s suggestion, I might just change my mind."

"Chief Guard Wang, treating your subordinates this way, doesn’t your conscience hurt?" Ding Liang asked woefully.

Chief Guard Wang marched out of the hall, waving his hand, as if to physically demonstrate that his conscience was perfectly untroubled.

At this moment, Li Dajun, alongside his three squad leaders, finished their performance. His simple face could hardly conceal his excitement, "Captain Mu, you’ve come over? How was our program? Wasn’t it grandiose?"

Mu Xingfeng nodded, "Not bad, quite grandiose."

Upon hearing Mu Xingfeng’s words, Li Dajun was even more excited, "I knew it! As soldiers, we should sing these powerful songs. Don’t look down on us rough men; we have passionate hearts too."

Just as Captain Li finished speaking, an earth-shattering roar pierced the air.

"We—soldiers—, what’s so different..."

"By the way, Captain, do you know where Lin Junyang went? He didn’t sneak off to rehearse on his own, did he?" Ding Liang asked.
