Chapter 83 Joyful Recovery
After a few days of quiet rest, the group was finally able to move around a little. Although a dull ache still lingered in their bodies, it was much better than the intense pain of the previous days.
Even so, they still had to remain in a prone position, as their internal injuries needed time to heal. Any slight movement would aggravate their not-yet-fully-recovered muscles and bones, causing excruciating pain that made them break out in a cold sweat.
Puyang Minghui lay on the bed, glanced at Chu Qiuchi next to her, and said with a wry smile, "I don't know how long this lying down will last... If this continues, I feel like my back is going to be ruined."
Chu Qiuchi moved his stiff fingers, but the movement was a little too big, and he immediately gasped in pain, frowning and muttering a complaint under his breath.
"Don't even mention it, I'm almost driven crazy by this position. This feeling... is even more unbearable than high-intensity training."
Chu Yichen, who was lying on the foot of the bed, let out a long sigh and couldn't help but complain.
"How about we go for a walk around the training field? It hurts a lot, but it's better than lying here like this. It's really suffocating."
Before he could finish speaking and before anyone else could react, Chu Qiuchi grabbed a pillow and threw it at him hard, her eyes full of warning.
"You dare to move? Believe me, I'll make you lie face down for the rest of your life!"
Chu Yichen quickly covered his head, his face full of grievance, and muttered softly.
"Sis, I was just saying it casually, I didn't really mean to go... You're being too harsh."
Puyang Minghui couldn't help but laugh out loud, lying on the bed teasing her.
"Yichen, you're really courting death. At a time like this, if you dare to go to the training ground, Qiu Chi will probably go straight to the commander, have you dragged back, and give you a few more whacks. I guarantee you'll be even more submissive then!"
Chu Qiuchi rolled her eyes and replied irritably, "Exactly, if you dare to make any trouble, I'll personally ask the commander to give you some more 'special treatment'!"
Listening to the two of them singing in unison, Chu Yichen could only dejectedly lie back on the bed, muttering something in frustration.
"I'm just so pent up... I'm lying on my stomach all day, my body feels like it's not even mine anymore, it's so hard to even turn over!"
Chu Qiuchi glanced at Ji Moyu, a teasing smile playing on his lips, his tone full of mockery.
“Look at Xiaoyuer, he’s so still and quiet, a real quiet and handsome guy. And look at you, bro, I think you’re like you have ADHD, you can’t sit still for a moment.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Moyu slightly raised his eyes, coldly glanced at Chu Qiuchi, and spoke in his usual aloof and indifferent tone.
"If you can shut up, I can be even quieter."
Chu Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter, retorting with a slightly provocative tone.
"Oh, Little Fish, you actually dare to talk back now? Looks like you've been cooped up all day, haven't you? You've even learned to talk back, you've really improved a lot!"
Ji Moyu glanced at her indifferently and said calmly, "No, it's you who talks too much."
Chu Qiuchi stared at Ji Moyu with a look of utter disbelief, her bright face filled with disbelief.
"I talk too much? How am I talk too much? If I were like you, never saying a word, would we still be able to have fun? Just think, how much fun would our team lose without me! I'm your pillar, the one who brings the atmosphere to the table! And you actually complain that I talk too much? Just wait until the day I stop talking, then you'll know what loneliness feels like! Sigh, it's all a waste of your trust!"
As she spoke, she clutched her chest, feigning deep sorrow as if she had suffered a tremendous injustice.
Puyang Minghui lay on the bed, laughing so hard she could hardly breathe, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Qiu Chi, you're so funny! You're absolutely right, this team really can't function without you! Without you, we'd have no one to make us laugh!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yichen immediately seized the opportunity to deliver a finishing blow, a wicked smile playing on his lips and mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Sis, I admit you're the one who brings the atmosphere, but as for the title of pillar of support... that's not necessarily yours. The one who can really hold the fort is our Brother Yu! Although he doesn't talk much, he's reliable."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qiuchi instantly flew into a rage, his eyes widened, and he immediately grabbed the pillow beside him and threw it at Chu Yichen without hesitation.
"You little rascal, you've actually betrayed us! Come on, take this pillow smash over your head!"
Chu Yichen lay there, unable to move, watching helplessly as the pillow hit him. It didn't hurt, but the child felt wronged. He laughed as he begged for mercy.
"Sister! Sister! I was wrong, okay? You are the pillar of strength, you are invincible, there is no one in heaven and earth who can replace you! Is that alright?"
Chu Qiuchi then stopped, satisfied. He raised his chin, twitched his eyebrows, and spoke with a hint of smugness.
"That's more like it! Remember, our team can't function without anyone, especially without me! I'm the soul of the team, understand?"
Seeing her smug look, Puyang Minghui couldn't hold back any longer and lay on the bed, patting the blanket and laughing.
"Qiu Chi, your skin is truly top-notch; no one can match your thick skin!"
She laughed as her body trembled uncontrollably, aggravating her wounds and causing her to gasp in pain, but even so, she couldn't stop laughing.
Nalan Xingyao suppressed a laugh, rubbing her forehead while adding insult to injury.
"Qiu Chi, your confidence is truly unmatched. The lively atmosphere in our team is definitely all thanks to you!"
Just as the group was laughing together, Ji Moyu, who had been lying quietly, finally raised her eyes and glanced at Chu Qiuchi. Her expression remained calm and indifferent as she uttered two words in a flat and cold tone.
"Narcissism."
The two short words stunned Chu Qiuchi instantly. She stared at Ji Moyu as if she had choked, and it took her a long time to react. She pointed at Ji Moyu with a smug look on her face.
"Little Fish! You're just jealous, blatantly jealous. You're definitely jealous of my powerful aura and irresistible charm, aren't you? Admit it, my little cutie, you clearly think I'm the most important person to you!"
Ji Moyu looked at her expressionlessly and replied with two simple words.
"No."
Chu Qiuchi was speechless for a moment, while Puyang Minghui and Nalan Xingyao laughed even harder.
Puyang Minghui said breathlessly, "Qiu Chi, Brother Yu really doesn't hold back! He's really made you, the pillar of our society, almost break!"
Nalan Xingyao couldn't help but shake her head, her voice filled with undisguised teasing.
"Qiu Chi, you'd better stop arguing with Brother Yu, it's too hurtful."
Chu Yichen took the opportunity to chuckle and added a comment.
"Sis, when Brother Yu is not talking, he is quiet and harmless, but when he does speak, he hits the nail on the head."
Chu Qiuchi squinted and glared at them, then looked at Ji Moyu, who remained calm, with a dark expression. Finally, she pretended to be calm and lay back on the bed, hugging her pillow and humming, her tone full of arrogance and grievance.
"Alright, alright, you've all ganged up on me, I admit defeat! Sigh, my damned, irresistible charm always attracts jealousy and hostility. Fine, fine, I'll be magnanimous and not bother with you jealous people!"
Chu Yichen covered his mouth and laughed, saying, "Sis, your mentality... is truly amazing. Even when it's so close, you can still comfort yourself. I think Minghui is right, your thick skin is definitely at the top level in the entire war zone."
Chu Qiuchi hugged her pillow tightly and glared at him fiercely.
"You brat, do you want another pillow to smash your head in again?"
Chu Yichen quickly shrank his neck, coughing as he tried to hide his smile.
"Sis, sis, I was wrong! I'll shut up, okay?!"
Ji Moyu lay on the outermost edge, still maintaining his calm and composed demeanor, as if the conversation had nothing to do with him. But a barely perceptible smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Laughter filled the tent. Although their injuries had not fully healed, the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere made them temporarily forget their pain.
The days after being punished should have been tough, but they became warm and easy because of their tacit understanding and laughter.
