Chapter 977: It Hurts…
TL: GoldenLung
Since the day Lan Xuanyu left Heaven Luo, they hadn't seen each other again. It had been six years since they parted ways, and in those six years, they had both undergone significant changes from adolescence to young adulthood. So when they first saw each other again, they were both a bit unsure if it was really the other person.
Lan Xuanyu was able to recognize Ye Lingtong because her light brown hair was quite rare. When she looked up and revealed her light green eyes, Lan Xuanyu was finally certain it was her. Her unique hair and eye color, combined with her familiar face…
"It's really me! This is so unexpected, we actually ran into each other here," Lan Xuanyu exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Lingtong was equally surprised. "Didn't you go to Shrek Academy? Have you graduated already?"
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, "I guess we graduated now. We graduated from the Outer Court. What about you? You joined the military?"
Ye Lingtong looked at Lan Xuanyu with a complex expression in her eyes, just like her attitude towards him back then. Since Lan Xuanyu killed her in the Douluo world, she really hated this guy at that time. Later, when Lan Xuanyu was admitted to Shrek Academy, she felt even more jealous.
During that time, her mentality had a big issue, and it was only after under her father's guidance that she gradually came out of it. But it also further stimulated her competitive spirit. Following her father's arrangement, she chose a high-level military academy to enter and study. Over the six years, she put in much more effort than her peers did, coupled with the excellence of her own Sky Dragon Martial Soul, she graduated as the top ranked student in the military academy, directly joining the Federal Seventh Fleet.
Someone as outstanding as her was very welcome in the military, especially since she graduated with the highest grades from the affiliated military academy of the Seventh Fleet. After graduating from the academy, she should have held the rank of second lieutenant, and the most outstanding graduates could be awarded the rank of first lieutenant. However, she was promoted to the rank of major, becoming the first graduate of the academy to do so. During her time in school, she received almost all the honors that the academy had to offer and was the center of attention.
In her heart, she always felt like she needed to prove herself. What was so great about Shrek Academy? Even though she didn't pass the exam, she had to be better than Lan Xuanyu. Joining the Seventh Fleet as a major only increased her confidence. But as she grew older, her mentality also matured, and her experience as a top student made her constantly evolve. The paranoia of her youth has diminished, but her competitive spirit has only grown stronger.
A few days ago, Ye Lingtong was still thinking about what choices Lan Xuanyu would have if he graduated from Shrek Academy. But she didn't expect to encounter Lan Xuanyu on the training ground today. For a moment, her heart was filled with mixed feelings and she couldn't find the words to say.
"Hurry up and enter the simulation cabin as soon as possible," came He Qingyi's voice.
Only then did Ye Lingtong wake up and quickly said, "You go into the simulation cabin first. Every assessment is important." After speaking, she hastily glanced at Lan Xuanyu before turning around and entering her own simulation cabin.
Although it was just a quick glance, Lan Xuanyu's figure was instantly imprinted in her mind.
The changes of a boy from 12 to 18 years old were much greater than those of a girl. Compared to before, Lan Xuanyu had grown a lot taller, with a height of over 1.9 meters, broad shoulders, slim waist, and a pair of large, restrained and shining eyes. His handsome face could be described as impeccable.
Although deep down inside, Ye Lingtong had always had the desire to compare herself to him, and even thought about stepping on him for revenge. But at this moment, she was surprised to find that she didn't seem to hate this guy anymore. Not only that, but she also had some strange feelings towards him. She couldn't help but ask herself in her heart, what was wrong with her?
And she suddenly realized that Lan Xuanyu had also come to participate in this training, which meant that he was also a field officer? Had she still failed to close the gap between them? He was still so outstanding.
One by one, the simulation cabins closed and connected.
Lan Xuanyu's vision was plunged into darkness, and the next moment, a series of prompts sounded.
"Body monitoring: vital signs normal, mental fluctuations normal. Permission granted to enter."
"First connection detected, body scan and identity are being conducted."
"Welcome, Major Lan Xuanyu. This is the exclusive Douluo World of the Seventh Fleet. You are currently in the exclusive training area. Do you want to connect ?"
Lan Xuanyu chose to connect.
The next moment, his eyes lit up, and his body felt a change. After a momentary dizziness, Lan Xuanyu found himself standing in a room.
All the field-level military officers participating in the training appeared here. Not far in front of Lan Xuanyu was Ye Lingtong.
At this moment, Ye Lingtong was also looking in his direction.
Just then, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a pain in his lower back and quickly turned his head to look back.
Bai Xiuxiu was smiling at him. Her deep blue long hair was combed into a scorpion braid behind her head, which did not affect her movements. Her stunning beauty was like a blooming flower in her smile. "Did you meet an acquaintance? Care to introduce me?"
A sense of unease instantly rose in Lan Xuanyu's heart. At this moment, Ye Lingtong naturally also heard Bai Xiuxiu's voice and looked towards her.
The two women's eyes met, and Bai Xiuxiu smiled and nodded at Ye Lingtong. However, upon seeing her, Ye Lingtong's heart slightly shook.
The girl standing beside Lan Xuanyu, with a scorpion braid behind her head, was too beautiful. Her deep blue eyes were like deep and cold pools, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly with a smile. She had a high nose bridge, lips that were thin and just the right thickness, and bright and discerning eyes. She was slightly taller than Ye Lingtong, and at this moment, her body was leaning slightly towards Lan Xuanyu's side. From the perspective of Ye Lingtong's line of sight, it looked like she was cuddling up to Lan Xuanyu.
Ye Lingtong had always been confident about her appearance, but looking at her, especially when she stood next to Lan Xuanyu, there was a feeling of reluctance to look directly at her. Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu stood together, like a perfect match made in heaven, the Creator's most perfect masterpiece.
"Cough, cough. Let me introduce you guys, Xiuxiu, this is Ye Lingtong. We were classmates in Heaven Luo before. Hmm, she also knows Qian Lei and Frenzie," Lan Xuanyu explained.
Bai Xiuxiu listened to Lan Xuanyu's explanation, smiled politely, and nodded to Ye Lingtong, saying softly, "Hello."
What Ye Lingtong couldn't see was that her fingers, which were pinching Lan Xuanyu's waist, had rotated ninety degrees.
Lan Xuanyu gritted his teeth in pain and said to Ye Lingtong, "This is my…" He had only said three words when he clearly felt the fingers behind him tighten, and without hesitation, he continued, "girlfriend Bai Xiuxiu."
After listening to his introduction, the fingers behind the waist immediately loosened and rubbed lightly on the previously twisted spot. Obviously, Xiuxiu was satisfied with his introduction.
Ye Língtong's eyes narrowed slightly, and she calmly said, "Romance in the army must be cautious. To avoid violating military law."
Bai Xiuxiu smiled and said, "We are new here and don't understand military law. We will ask for your guidance in the future."
Ye Língtong frowned slightly, nodded, and walked away.
Lan Xuanyu was about to breathe a sigh of relief when his ear suddenly hurt. It turned out that Bai Xiuxiu had grabbed him and whispered, "Not bad! Childhood sweethearts are pretty."
Lan Xuanyu smiled wryly and said, "Be gentle. Where did the childhood sweetheart come from? We not only don't have a childhood sweetheart, but we also have grudges. If you don't believe me, ask Frenzie and Fatty. But it's been so many years, everyone has grown up, so let it go. Who still cares about what happened when we were kids?"
"Hmph!" Bai Xiuxiu let go of his hand and rubbed his ear. "Let's see how you perform."
Lan Xuanyu chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so jealous!"
This remark only earned Bai Xiuxiu an eye roll.
