C35 – Yao Beier
Jiang Chen masked his feelings well, offering only a smile without further comment.
“Wang Xiao, I really appreciate your help with yesterday’s issue. How about I treat you to a meal today as a thank you?” Yu Meini suggested, batting her lovely eyes at Wang Xiao.
She couldn’t believe he had the nerve to turn her down yesterday. Now, after she’d done him such a big favor, she was certain he couldn’t refuse.
Yu Meini’s proposal sent a ripple of shock through the onlookers.
“Unbelievable, Goddess Yu is actually asking this guy out? What kind of incredible luck does he have?”
“I’d be so jealous. To dine with Goddess Yu, I’d gladly shave ten years off my life.”
“Make that twenty for me!”
A wave of envy washed over the second-year seniors as they gazed at Wang Xiao.
Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed at the scene. He’d have to pull out all the stops to get a lunch date with Yu Meini. What on earth had Wang Xiao done to earn such gratitude and a proactive invitation from her?
Could Yu Meini actually have a thing for this freshman?
The thought soured Jiang Chen’s look towards Wang Xiao.
As the crowd anticipated Wang Xiao’s eager acceptance, he surprised them all.
“No need, you all go ahead. I’ve lost my appetite,” Wang Xiao declined calmly, shaking his head.
His response sent a wave of disbelief crashing through the cafeteria.
“He turned down Goddess Yu’s lunch invite?”
“Is he even a man? We’re talking about Goddess Yu here!”
The male students were baffled, their stares at Wang Xiao filled with incredulity.
Even Soong Ming and the other roommates were at a loss as to why Wang Xiao would pass up an invitation from the belle of the Traditional Chinese Medicine System in their sophomore year.
Amidst the buzz of conversation, Wang Xiao remained stoic. Without a word, he turned to leave with Soong Ming and the rest.
”Wang Xiao, you stop right there!” Yu Meini demanded, blocking his path with a face twisted in fury, her eyes bore into him, her rage simmering.
She was none other than the esteemed beauty of Forest City University’s sophomore Traditional Chinese Medicine department!
She had boldly invited him to a meal in front of a whole crowd!
And this jerk had the nerve to turn her down!
Yu Meini, with her innocent looks, harbored a strong and confident spirit. With her stunning beauty, no guy had ever dared to reject her!
“No way, you’re eating with me today!”
Yu Meini’s beautiful eyes bore into Wang Xiao as she spoke with earnestness, her voice tinged with a playful arrogance.
Yet to the onlookers, her feisty demeanor came across like a fierce little girlfriend insisting her boyfriend join her for a meal.
The males in the cafeteria collectively inhaled sharply, their gazes filled with envy towards Wang Xiao.
When a goddess like her pleads, how can you not just say yes?
“Yes, Master Jiang!”
Earring Boy quickly nodded, then gestured towards the dining hall and asked, “Master Jiang, since Goddess Yu has left, are we still going to eat here?”
“The food in the dining hall is fit for pigs. Let’s go—I’ll treat everyone to a meal at a restaurant off-campus.”
Jiang Chen’s lips curled into a sly smile as he cast a contemptuous glance at the less fortunate students dining in the cafeteria, addressing Earring Boy and the others.
“Master Jiang is invincible!”
The underlings responded with excitement upon hearing his words.
......
The afternoon sun was brutally harsh, its rays distorting the very air upon the earth.
At Forest City University, one could see freshmen classes training all around.
In a corner of the basketball court, students from Traditional Chinese Medicine Class Four, clad in camouflage, were practicing standing at attention under the scorching sun.
Many female students clenched their teeth, sweat beading on their pale foreheads, lips turning white. They had been standing for nearly an hour with no break, as Instructor Lee had yet to give the signal.
“Stand up straight! You’re in military training—show me the bearing of a soldier!”
Instructor Lee’s icy demeanor was evident as he moved among the students of Class Four, barking reprimands.
“Instructor Lee, I can’t take it anymore.”
A petite girl with a frail constitution finally reached her limit and slumped to the ground, looking up at Instructor Lee with tearful eyes.
“Worthless, you can’t even manage something as simple as standing? Get up! You’re staying an extra half hour. If you don’t make it, forget about dinner.”
Instructor Lee’s face was a mask of frost as he berated the small-statured girl.
The girl was Yao Beier, with her sweet looks and gentle voice, she was petite and childlike in appearance, yet her figure was well-proportioned. In just one morning, the male students of Class Four had already dubbed her the ‘loli class flower.’
Yao Beier’s eyes brimmed with tears after being labeled worthless by Instructor Lee, yet she bit back her tears and defiantly rose to her feet.
Seeing this, many of the boys in the class were filled with indignation, their fists clenched tight, yet none dared to defend Yao Beier.
Crossing the instructor during military training is no trivial matter.
“Move it, didn’t you hear me?!”
As Yao Beier struggled to rise, Instructor Lee’s face twisted with impatience. He spat out a curse and, mid-sentence, his leg shot out, aiming a kick at Yao Beier.
No! The female classmates shrieked in unison at the sight.
The boys, witnessing the scene, were torn between intervening and their own apprehension.
Thud...
In the nick of time, a muffled thud echoed through the air.
A figure, not particularly tall, materialized in front of Yao Beier, his right instep intercepting Instructor Lee’s advancing foot. A nonchalant voice then cut through, “Instructor Lee, striking a girl hardly befits a soldier of honor!”
