Chapter 1029 - 602: Change?
Chapter 1029: Chapter 602: Change?
On the GF East Playground, Luo Ye, Xing Nong, Yaoguang, Yu Na, Sang Cao, Zhan Hao, Liu Xing, and Wu Zetian were running laps around the track.
Even though it was late autumn, the scorching midday sun was blazing overhead. As they went around, their clothes stuck to their backs, making them unbearably uncomfortable.
Feng Tianzhi stood at the side of the track with a stern expression, occasionally yelling out a command.
"Pervert!" Xing Nong couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.
They were being punished, naturally, because of the cattle thief incident last night.
That night, the second brother suggested having some meat, and after a brief consideration, the eldest agreed. Before Li Xiaobei could make a move, Sang Cao jumped in first.
No one expected the brothers to be so skilled. Li Xiaobei and Sang Cao were no match for them, so Luo Ye, Xing Nong, Yaoguang, and Yu Na hurried over.
From the boys’ side, Zhan Hao, Liu Xing, and Wu Zetian also rushed over to help.
As a result, before long, the two brothers were beaten black and blue. Then, Feng Tianzhi arrived, ordering everyone to stop and releasing the cattle thief and... the cow.
The truth was—the cattle thief and the cow were actually soldiers in disguise, testing whether everyone would comply with the rules during a camouflage and infiltration mission.
Of course, everyone was dissatisfied with this. Were they supposed to watch helplessly as a thief stole the cow and do nothing?
Feng Tianzhi’s answer was that when war breaks out, the infiltration mission is about eliminating the enemy’s main forces. Would they abandon the entire strategy for a peasant’s cow?
The logic was there, but it was hard for everyone to accept all at once.
But whether they accepted it or not, the punishment had to be served. Everyone involved was docked a point and made to run twenty-five laps around the track.
The laps were run after the camouflage and infiltration mission, which happened to be at noon. Although running twenty-five laps was easy for their stamina, doing it at noon wasn’t comfortable at all.
"Luoluo, has Captain Feng gone nuts? How could he treat us like this?" After reaching the limit, Mou Qiu couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
Luo Ye wiped the sweat from her forehead, "I don’t know, but save your energy."
"I’m just curious, that’s all. Maybe Captain Feng has a girl he likes and hit a snag pursuing her? Yeah, most likely, or else why would he suddenly act so differently..."
Luo Ye sped up a bit, avoiding Xing Nong.
"Hey, why aren’t you running with me?" Xing Nong pursed his lips, chased after her, and poked her lightly, "Do you know something and you’re not telling me on purpose?"
Luo Ye gave her a look, "You should be made to run ten more laps; you have too much energy."
"..." After a moment of silence, Mou Qiu blurted out, "The cruelest heart in the world belongs to Luoluo."
"Speed it up! Do you think you’re still freshmen? Aren’t you afraid the juniors will laugh at you for being so slow?" Feng Tianzhi shouted through a megaphone.
"Great, Captain Feng’s possessed by Coach Hang." Xing Nong covered his forehead in distress, "What are we going to do now? There’s no way to live."
...
GF Big Five Team Captain’s Office.
Feng Tianzhi stared at Luo Ye, who was seated opposite him, "Aren’t you curious why I’ve suddenly become so unreasonable?"
"No," Luo Ye shook her head.
"Really?" Feng Tianzhi raised an eyebrow. "In that case, I don’t need to explain."
"Yes!" Luo Ye stood up, "If Captain Feng has nothing else, I’ll be going."
"You..." Feng Tianzhi glared at her, "Sit down!"
"Yes!" Luo Ye obediently sat back down, her expression still calm.
Feng Tianzhi leaned back helplessly, "I say, can’t you stop putting on that act? You look like an eighty-year-old woman who’s been through a lot. Aren’t you exhausted?"
"Captain Feng, I’m eighteen, not eighty," Luo Ye corrected.
"Alright, alright. I find that whenever I run into you, I never win." Feng Tianzhi sighed lightly, "I never thought I’d see such a day."
"What’s wrong?" A trace of concern appeared in Luo Ye’s eyes. To say she wasn’t curious at all would be a lie, but in her position, curiosity wasn’t something she could express.
"Bai Yan recently lodged a complaint against me, saying I’m too lenient towards you, especially with the Fierce Tigers, and that it’s unfair to other trainees.
Initially, her complaint didn’t bother me, but coincidentally, some official took it seriously and demanded we intensify training, or else they’d have me sent back.
I’m not afraid of being sent back; they don’t have the authority. But they do have the power to transfer me to a different position.
I’m not worried about being reassigned, but if I leave, the new captain, coupled with Bai Yan, might make Little Ye’er’s life difficult. So, I had no choice but to compromise.
I’m telling you this not to make you grateful, but to remind you that the conflict between the Bai family and the Wen family is deeply rooted. Especially after Old Mrs. Wen donated the inheritance from the Bai family to charity, their ties were severed for good."
Luo Ye stood up and bowed respectfully, "Thank you!"
This gratitude was absolutely sincere!
Feng Tianzhi was such a unique individual, yet now, for her sake, he was willing to make such compromises. Was this still the famed "Crazy Feng" known in military and political circles?
For over a year, he’d been true to his word, never doing anything to embarrass her, always watching over her without being too close or too distant.
Perhaps this life debt of gratitude was something she’d never be able to repay.
"It’s pointless to be so formal with me." Feng Tianzhi waved his hand, "Little Ye’er, save your pointless thanks. What I want from you is to be on your guard and not let those conspiring against you succeed, understood?"
"Understood." Luo Ye hesitated for a moment, "The official supporting Bai Yan, his surname is also Wen, right?"
"No!" Feng Tianzhi shook his head, "The Wen family in Beijing isn’t like that. Little Ye’er, when the time is right, just get married. It will benefit you, Ye Xuan, the Wen family, and the Luo family."
"What?" Luo Ye stared at him in confusion, not knowing what to say.
"Don’t misunderstand. I’m not giving up, but if you don’t marry Ye Xuan and try to see if life with him is suitable, you’ll never consider me.
So, I’m willing to take a chance. If Little Ye’er is happy, that’s the best outcome. But if she’s not, I can rightfully take Little Ye’er back, marry her myself.
Little Ye’er, trust me, you’ll always have me as a backup. Do whatever you want with confidence."
Finally, this speech was more in line with Crazy Feng’s character. Hearing the beginning, Luo Ye thought that maybe Captain Feng’s nickname could be changed from Crazy Feng to Virtuous Feng.
