Chapter 10, The Enigmatic Girl
You should go to the sixteenth floor to find the security department; someone will be there to receive you. Bai Fei pressed the buttons for the nineteenth and sixteenth floors after entering the elevator: I must go up to undergo the inspection
Bai Fei did not say much, only offering a gentle smile as always: "Actually, you shouldn't be too angry; the punishment given to him is sufficient."
"Wishing you good luck," Ding Chui said politely.
Has that guy with the golden retriever died yet
Ding Chui clearly detected the teasing tone in Bai Fei's voice, but he found himself unable to explain to her. Thus, he could only feign profundity with a slight smile and followed Bai Fei through the door that was managed by a dedicated staff member
I do not know how large Tsinghua is as you mentioned, but its area occupies one-seventh of this city, and the facilities within are even more complete than those of the city itself, sufficient for one hundred and twenty thousand people to live and die there. Bai Fei's voice came from behind: "However, I am quite looking forward to the Tsinghua you mentioned, and I hope to have the opportunity to visit it."
The ultimate trick of Ding Chui is to bring up what should not be mentioned. As soon as this matter was mentioned, Bai Fei's expression immediately turned sour, and she said in a heavy tone: "He didn't die; his family spent a large sum of money to save his life. However, even if he regains consciousness, it is basically impossible for him to become a super soldier again. Now his family is investigating this matter, and I will have to undergo an inquiry shortly."
Wake up, it’s time to report to the academy. Bai Fei gently nudged Ding Chui: Wake up, wake up
After being shoved for a while, Ding Chui opened his bleary eyes and immediately felt a heavy drowsiness. The hangover from the previous night left him in a very poor mental state, and he appeared utterly listless, with a dried trace of saliva still lingering at the corner of his mouth
"This is not the case; I just think you are really impressive. I am twenty-five this year and still just a bun seller." Ding Chui chuckled self-deprecatingly: https://m.hetushucomcom "Moreover, I am quite content."
Hehe. "Ding Chui swallowed his saliva to moisten his throat, then said dryly: 'I, from childhood to adulthood, have hardly spent a few days in school. Now, looking at such a large school, I feel a bit intimidated. This is comparable to Tsinghua University, isn't it?'
Thus, Ding Chui said nothing, picked up the ham sausage, took the steamed bun, and followed Bai Fei out of the house, heading straight for the academy
However, this is not easy to articulate, as Bai Fei is neither someone who enjoys gossiping nor someone who is fond of trivial family matters. More importantly, her relationship with Ding Chui has not yet reached the level of being able to share everything openly
After speaking, Bai Fei focused her gaze on Baozi, then kindly bent down in an attempt to pat Baozi's head. However, she was met with a barrage of hostile glances from Baozi, which forced her to retract her hand. She awkwardly said: "Basic education is free until the age of eighteen. There are approximately one hundred thousand ordinary children attending school here, so I think you won't need to teach her yourself in the future"
Ding Chui let out a sound, striking a pose of righteous indignation as he patted his chest: "If it really comes to it, just speak my name!"
When Bai Fei knocked on Ding Chui's door in the early morning, Ding Chui was still drooling as he lay beside the dining table with his messy hair.
Upon realizing that his lewd expression had been exposed, Ding Chui quickly rubbed his face and explained: "I just feel cold for her... Look, I'm wearing a sweater, isn't she cold in such little clothing?"
Indeed, but it is these very people who are undermining me behind my back. Bai Fei's lips curled into a cold smile: "In any place, the most hypocritical are those who appear to be well-dressed."
Hearing Bai Fei taking care of that golden retriever mix, Ding Chui felt quite uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do. He was just a nobody, and if it weren't for this farce, Bai Fei's relationship with him would probably only extend to casual chats while buying steamed buns every day. Oh, goddess... she should indeed be on a pedestal.
Forget it. It is evident that Ding Chui has spent quite a number of years navigating through society, and it is clear that Bai Fei does not fully trust him. Thus, he could only let out a silent sigh and stand up: "Let’s go"
Mo Hui is truly different from other super warriors, of course... except for Laika, who fights with him. These two individuals are notorious throughout the entire academy. Mo Hui comes from a prominent family; his father is one of the chief instructors of the Super Warriors Alliance in the Seventh District, his mother is a senior leader at the academy, his grandfather was an assistant to the first president of the Seventh District, and his grandmother is the daughter of a former president. His elder brother holds a general rank in the military, and his second brother is the chief executive officer of this city. Mo Hui can be described as a typical rich kid, a second-generation wealthy individual, and a second-generation official, placing him firmly within the privileged class.
Did you not say that you are an ordinary person
Ding Chui deeply agrees with this statement, and he can also see from it that Bai Fei is not just a mindless little girl; this young woman is quite impressive
Ding Chui smiled faintly, yet remained silent. He was reluctant to tell Bai Fei why he appeared older than his actual age. Nearly a decade spent in a brutal environment where survival was a matter of life and death had made it impossible for him not to age. Ding Chui could hardly recall how many times he had been beaten for desperately stealing buns and cakes due to hunger, nor could he remember the number of wounds inflicted upon him. The experiences he had endured were sufficient to serve as material for unscrupulous journalists to interrogate the conscience of society.
Bai Fei clearly struggled to adapt to the sudden change in Ding Chui. In her mind, Ding Chui was just an ordinary young man who was shy and occasionally made light-hearted jokes. She had never seen this sharp and acerbic side of him. Thus, she stood there momentarily at a loss for how to respond to this difficult question that was hard to answer with a book.
"Indeed, but am I not allowed to strive for self-improvement and earn some money?" Bai Fei, after changing gears with a charming smile, teased, "Are you also questioning which man I slept with to achieve my current state?"
The shuttle here runs every three minutes, making transportation very convenient. Bai Fei pointed to a small shuttle with only a few passengers and said, "I will first take you to report to the security department, and then you can arrange your own life. I have tasks to attend to here, and I will find you later."
Bai Fei's car is very high-end, and I have seen it in an advertisement on television. Its class is comparable to that of a Porsche Cayenne, and it is a car that only men would drive. Bai Fei looks particularly sophisticated and elegant while sitting in the car
What are you doing?" Ding Chui propped both hands on his knees, lowered his head, shook it vigorously, and mumbled, "What to do?"
"Ding Chui?" Bai Fei followed Ding Chui's gaze and was surprised to see a pair of long, fair legs approaching. She helplessly raised an eyebrow and pouted, then nudged Ding Chui awake: "Today is your first day at work... you will have plenty of opportunities to see them in the future"
This statement is clearly directed at Ding Chui, who is currently overwhelmed by the sights around him. While it may not be apparent outside, within this academy, he is truly taken aback. The beautiful young women here are numerous, and although few can compare to Bai Fei, for Ding Chui, this is undoubtedly a paradise
Bai Fei smiled, looked up and down at Ding Chui, and said softly: "Then you will be executed."
And Bai Fei turned back with a smile: "It is to wish you good luck yourself"
Ding Chui raised his head to look at Bai Fei's beautiful face, which was slightly furrowed, gazing intently for a while. Then, with a rather lewd expression, he took a deep breath of the fragrance emanating from Bai Fei and asked, "Why do you want to undergo the examination?"
However, Laika, who dares to confront him, is no ordinary person. The current president is Laika's uncle by marriage, and the chairman of the National Business Alliance is Laika's aunt. Furthermore, her uncle is also the deputy commander of the armed forces. Additionally, both of his parents sacrificed their lives in a battle for the country, leaving him as the only male heir in the family. The entire family dotes on him excessively, making him a quintessential member of the privileged class
Ding Chui looked at Bai Fei's silhouette, wanting to say something but hesitating. Usually so eloquent in front of others, Ding Chui found himself unable to express himself freely in front of Bai Fei, and he unconsciously restrained his desire to use foul language. This is probably what one would call the feeling of love.
With a triumphant lift of his hammer, he boasted, "Indeed, in my hometown, not only do we have Tsinghua University, but also Peking University. These two institutions are the best in the world. Then there are places like Cambridge and MIT, but those are rather mediocre. Tsinghua and Peking are the finest."
There are specialized electric rail vehicles here, so external vehicles are strictly prohibited from entering. Within the academy, the only means of transportation are on foot or by electric tram, and no one has any privileges.
Therefore, when these two individuals come into conflict, as long as there are no large-scale casualties, it can essentially be covered up by the two families working together. Not to mention the matter of that little caterpillar; even if they were to first assault and then kill Bai Fei, it would merely be a matter of a few words of family admonition.
"Damn your dog..." As he was halfway through his vulgar remark, he abruptly cut himself off with a slap, awkwardly coughing once: "My mistake, my mistake. So tell me, why did that idiot Golden Retriever almost take me out, yet he still shows up in front of me the next day? It's a good thing I didn't die; what if I had?"
Bai Fei stepped back a little, slightly displeased, and pressed her lips together: "Because I was present at the scene, and this incident is clearly not a routine accident, I need to prepare a detailed record."
"Don't look anymore, we're about to go in." The ham sausage bounced onto his shoulder: "I used to come and go here freely when I was a child, just like it was my own home."
Are you feeling quite high here https://m.hetushu.com?
Upon seeing the gavel, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward as no one spoke. Bai Fei, in a fit of pique, also chose to remain silent. Thus, they drove in silence all the way to the legendary Super Soldier Academy
As soon as these words were spoken, the effects of the overnight alcohol hit him hard, and he awkwardly turned his neck: "What are you saying... Is it really that serious even though the person is not dead?"
Bai Fei always maintained a smile: "Alright, I understand, no need for explanations. Follow me."
Every region in the world is governed by this regulation: super soldiers are considered national weapons. Attacking a national weapon can result in immediate execution without any justification or excuse. Super soldiers are also subject to strict regulations and constraints. If we incite unrest among ordinary people, we will similarly face punitive measures, with the highest penalty being the death sentence.
"Is that true? Where is your hometown? You say it's the best in the world, but I've never heard of it before." Bai Fei smiled as she looked at Ding Chui, clearly questioning his words: "Come on, let me invite you to visit our humble academy."
The two ascended the tram and traveled for approximately ten minutes. Ding Chui followed Bai Fei into a twenty-story building. Ding Chui noticed that Bai Fei seemed to be quite popular among the people inside; whether it was the security guard or individuals who appeared to hold a certain status, they would greet Bai Fei as they passed by.
Bai Fei was momentarily taken aback, then gently sighed: "I have already informed you; today the college's security department requires you to report in."
"Ha, I am actually one year younger than you, can’t tell at all... I always thought you were around twenty-eight or twenty-nine, almost thirty," Bai Fei suddenly seemed to recall something amusing: "What makes you look so old? But I must say, you belong to the type that becomes more attractive as you age. I think you must not have looked good when you were younger."
In the parking space at Baifei, Baifei leaned forward, peering inside with both hands gripping the metal decorative railing on the academy's wall.
