CHAPTER 540: CHAPTER 324: THE WEIRDO

Xing Nong’s questioning ignited Yu Na’s rage: "Yan Xingnong, when have I ever targeted Luo Ye? I kindly offered her snacks to eat, is that targeting her? Asking about her first love is just out of curiosity, do you dare say you’re not nosy?"

"I am nosy, but my nosiness is well-intentioned, yours..."

"Bally..." Luo Ye interrupted Xing Nong, gently comforting her: "Everything is out in the open, everyone understands, let’s not fight anymore, be good."

"Luo Ye, what do you mean?" Yu Na’s anger shifted toward Luo Ye: "Even a clay figure has a three-point temper, do you really think I’m afraid of you?"

Luo Ye looked at her with clear, cold eyes: "Yu Na, you’re right, we have to live together in the same dorm for four years, and this kind of turmoil will make no one comfortable, including Miaomiao, Li Qing, and Bai Qingchu.

However, you should be very clear about where the conflict lies between us. Remember at the beginning of the school year, you took the initiative to talk to me, but your subsequent actions have completely contradicted your words."

Your deception, do you still want to continue forever? The cause of the quarrel, was it not you who initiated it? Those who do but won’t admit it won’t earn any respect!

Platitudes, snide remarks, belittling, hypocrisy... all traits of a villain. If you keep going like this, I’m telling you for sure, the three of us will never like you."

"I don’t like you either." Miaomiao firmly stood by Luo Ye’s side.

"We all share a dormitory, fighting will only make us a laughingstock. Yu Na, what you said just now was indeed purposefully demeaning to Little Luo, we could all hear it." Li Qing’s words were more subtle, but it was clear she too sided with Luo Ye.

Bai Qingchu looked around at everyone, then laughed "haha": "I stand firmly in the middle, but this time it’s indeed Yu Na’s fault."

"You all... you’re obviously ganging up against me alone, forget it, can’t I just steer clear if I can’t afford to provoke? I’ll switch dorms right now!" Yu Na said and slammed the door as she left.

Xing Nong was startled by the loud door slam, hesitatingly said: "Luoluo, am I being a bit of a bully?"

"No bullying, thank you, Bally." Luo Ye hugged her, then let go and hugged everyone in turn: "Thank you, all, truly!"

Bai Qingchu laughed uneasily: "Hehe..., Luoluo, I said I stood in the middle because I was afraid making things too tense would make it hard to resolve, don’t blame me, okay?"

Luo Ye flicked her forehead: "Silly, everyone has their own stance, why shouldn’t I be happy?"

"Luoluo has been helpful to each of us, Yu Na only thinks about herself, human hearts are made of flesh, and it’s natural for us to support Luoluo. But..." Li Qing looked worriedly at Luo Ye: "Yu Na is Coach Hang’s apprentice. Will Coach Hang target Luo Ye even more in the future?"

"It’s okay, I’ll face the troops as they come, and dam the flood as it rises. What’s there to be afraid of?" Luo Ye checked the time: "Let’s do a quick cleanup, breakfast time is almost here, let’s get ready to go downstairs."

Li Qing cheerfully arranged the bedsheet: "I love eating the most, it’s such a joy!"

"Li Qing, no wonder you get along so well with Little Bei, you’re both complete foodies. It’s a good thing you aren’t in the same dorm." Xing Nong muttered while wiping the bedsheet.

Li Qing stated righteously: "Eating is the primary element of survival, can you live without eating? Also, why do you say it’s a good thing we aren’t in the same dorm?"

Xing Nong replied with a mischievous smile: "What if you ended up pairing and turned into fat ladies, then what would we do?"

"With this training intensity, it’s unlikely to become fat ladies. It might be more about the stomach sagging." Li Qing said, patting her head in confusion: "Right, where is that girl today? Why hasn’t she come over?"

"She’s still not over her shyness." Xing Nong poked Luo Ye: "Forgot to report to you, Little Bei’s Grandpa came. Guess what?"

"I have no idea." Luo Ye shook her head.

"Peep, peep..."

The crisp whistle sounded, and Xing Nong quickly pulled Luo Ye to run downstairs: "I’ll tell you after breakfast."

When several people ran downstairs, Zhan Hao was organizing the formation. He had been announced as the intern squad leader for this term, but the deputy squad leader had not yet been announced.

Everyone was guessing whether it was because Hang Menglin and Feng Tianzhi couldn’t come to a unanimous decision, unwilling to concede to each other, resulting in the difficulty of selecting a deputy squad leader.

Breakfast was simple: steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and millet porridge. After the duty students served the food, the cadets began their meal.

"Glug, glug, glug..." Such loud slurps drew everyone’s eyes to the source. Feeling the gazes of everyone, a skinny male cadet looked up and smiled, then lowered his head to continue "glugging" the porridge, making a complete round along the rim of the bowl—the steaming hot porridge was gone.

As if still not satisfied, the duty student hurriedly poured the remaining porridge from the bucket into his bowl, asking, "Is that enough?"

"That’s enough." The male cadet smiled gratefully, glugged a round, and the porridge disappeared again, along with two fried dough sticks and three buns.

"There’s... there’s a little left, would you like it?" The duty student stuttered.

"Thank you." The male cadet once again extended his bowl.

Whispers arose in the dining hall.

The male student kept eating as if nothing else mattered, slurped up the last drop of porridge from the bowl, let out a satisfied burp, and left the dining hall.

People turned back to their meals.

Suddenly, Luo Ye noticed that Li Xiaobei across from her was almost bending down to the table. The bangs on her forehead had grown a bit and were soaking in the bowl. "Little Bei, your hair." Luo Ye quickly reminded.

"Oh." Li Xiaobei raised her head slightly and lifted the bowl to gulp down the porridge.

Xing Nong nudged Luo Ye and whispered: "Hurry and eat, you’ll understand later."

"Okay." Luo Ye held back her curiosity to quickly finish eating, and then swiftly evacuated with Xing Nongyao.

Star Manipulating Moonlight glanced around to make sure no one was nearby, then lowered her voice: "Luoluo, actually, the person in the worst situation isn’t me, there’s Little Bei too. A male student just transferred in yesterday, his name is Wang Ligang.

He made great contributions to the military. Approved for a special case, he came to report today. The main issue is, his brother who has been working in the city took the opportunity to come see what the military academy is like, and also with them was Li Xiaobei’s grandpa.

And the crucial point is, his brother Wang Liqiang is the fiancé Li Xiaobei’s grandpa has set for her. He actively came to see his future wife yesterday, which embarrassed Little Bei so much she nearly wished to hide in a mouse hole."

Luo Ye covered her forehead: "Qiu’er, give me some time to digest this. This news is so explosive, how come Little Bei has suddenly got a boyfriend? She never mentioned it before, right?"

"The Wang Family paid for Little Bei’s high school tuition, and it’s her grandpa who made the decision. So after graduation, she could only marry Wang Liqiang, otherwise, it would be considered ungrateful. Naturally, Little Bei felt uneasy to talk about such a matter. Yesterday her grandpa brought that man along, and they met with Hang Menglin, so the news spread. Her grandpa and that man are still staying at the school’s guest house." Luo Ye pursed her lips: "Luckily, the guy looks pretty handsome and seems quite honest."

"In the few days I was not here, things have really been eventful." Luo Ye took a deep breath: "This is Little Bei’s family issue; don’t meddle carelessly. If Little Bei doesn’t like the guy and asks us for help, then we can think of a solution for her, got it?"

"Got it," Yaoguang spoke up first: "I’ve been saying not to interfere, but Qiu’er thought Little Bei was wronged and wanted you to scare that guy away."

"Am I out of my mind to scare someone away for no reason?" Luo Ye glanced sideways at Star Manipulating Moonlight: "You’re just a busybody."

Star Manipulating Moonlight indignantly puffed out her chest: "I’m only a busybody for the people I care about. As for the ones I don’t like, I couldn’t care less."

Teasing her, Luo Ye deliberately poked at Star Manipulating Moonlight’s chest, "Does Qiu’er mean to say that I should check to see if your chest has developed further after a few days?"

"Pervert, Luoluo, I’m starting to think you’re getting pervier. Tell me, do people with boyfriends become perverts?" Star Manipulating Moonlight looked at Luo Ye with a devilish smirk: "I’m saying Little Luoluo, could it be... hmm?"

"Put away your dirty thoughts." Luo Ye picked up her pace: "Go study for computer science, have you given up on competing?"

"No way, even if there’s no hope, I have to give it a shot." Star Manipulating Moonlight raised her fist: "You have to fight to win, right?"

...

"Stand up!"

"Attention!"

"Sit down!"

Following the commands, all the students took their seats and placed their caps on the desks, their eyes fixed on the teacher on the podium—Professor Yu Wenze.

In his thirties, Professor Yu Wenze stood around 181 cm tall, with dark skin, a strong and upright build, handsome features, and exuding the charm of a mature man in every move.

"Today is our third basic course, and as part of my routine, I will now do roll call. After three classes, I will have firmly remembered everyone’s names and faces." Saying this, Professor Yu Wen paused for a moment, then continued sternly: "Whoever dares to skip class or not pay attention during my classes, well then, please don’t bother coming anymore."

"Zhan Hao!"

"Present!"

"Yan Han!"

"Present!"

"..."

"..."

"Wang Ligang!"

"Present!"

Professor Yu Wen took a few moments to observe Wang Ligang, then nodded: "Sit down!" After that, he closed the roll call book: "Let’s start the class now."

Luo Ye realized something was amiss, as her name wasn’t called, so she quickly exclaims: "Reporting!"

Professor Yu Wen put down his textbook, his brow slightly furrowed: "Stand up!"

Luo Ye quickly stood up: "Reporting to Professor Yu Wen, you didn’t call my name, I’m Luo Ye!"

Professor Yu Wen glanced at her: "I called your name twice, no one answered, so I crossed it off."

"Reporting!"

"Stand up!"

Zhan Hao stood up: "I have reported before that Luo Ye was hospitalized due to illness, therefore she couldn’t attend the class."

Professor Yu Wen raised an eyebrow at him: "But you didn’t tell me that she was discharged; I am not an immortal, how could I possibly divine when she would leave the hospital?"

Zhan Hao quickly said: "It’s my mistake. Professor Yu Wen, I accept any punishment."

Professor Yu Wen pondered for a moment: "My punishment is simple. Each morning, bring breakfast to my residence. You and Luo Ye will take turns, one day each. Any problems?"

"No problem!" both responded in unison.

"Sit down then. Let’s start the lesson."

Luo Ye inwardly clicked her tongue, thinking that eccentric people are indeed eccentric, way different from ordinary folks.
