Chapter 10: Dating

Holding the student ID that still carried Luo Hao's body temperature, Yun Xi's face turned slightly red as she secretly murmured to herself: This Wild Dragon doesn't seem to be the training fanatic as rumored.

At this moment, Yunxi, who seemed to be possessed by Sherlock Holmes, was well-versed in jungle warfare, booby trap design, and sniping techniques, while Luo Hao could only foolishly scratch his short hair and chuckle like a silly boy. Realizing he could no longer hide, he could only pull out the student ID he had secretly kept from a pocket of his tactical pants and return it to her

Although she knew that Luo Hao was certainly speaking nonsense, since he did not want to say anything, Yun Xi naturally would not force him. She did not believe that those under Wu Yun could do anything to the Mad Dragon of the Longyin Brigade

There will always come a day when I want you to willingly smile for me, watching Yun Xi's distant figure fade away, Luo Hao silently said to himself. As for military training? He disdainfully curled his lip; that was just a game for children. But why did Yun Xi say she would participate? Isn't she already a sophomore? How could she still join the freshman military training?

"I encountered some issues on the way, which caused a delay." In no time, Luo Hao had already calmed his breathing

"Has Wu Yun caused you trouble?" The astute Yunxi immediately deduced the key reason for Luo Hao's tardiness

He stuffed his student ID back into the pocket of his jeans, handed a beautifully wrapped white box that he had been holding to Luo Hao, and said: "Last time your phone was broken, I bought this in a hurry this afternoon, so make do with it."

As I turned to leave the pavilion, a thought suddenly crossed my mind. I stopped in my tracks, facing away from Luo Hao, and said, "In a few days, it will be the new students' military training, and I will be participating as well."

In the past half hour, no fewer than a dozen couples have passed by hand in hand in front of the pavilion, occasionally pointing and whispering about her, which only made her feel more embarrassed and annoyed. Yunxi bit her silver teeth and silently told herself to wait for five more minutes; if Luo Hao did not appear by then, he would be in big trouble.

In order to reach the pavilion as quickly as possible, Luo Hao even employed the signature skills of the Longyin Unit's jungle off-road capabilities

Yunxi raised her hand to check the white porcelain watch on her wrist. This was already the fifth time she had looked at her watch since arriving at this pavilion. Throughout her life, due to her beauty, she had countless suitors, but this was the first time she had taken the initiative to invite someone. If it had been anyone else, they would have likely been waiting with roses in hand, dressed to the nines. Yet, that damned scoundrel Luo Hao actually dared to stand her up, leaving her foolishly waiting in this pavilion for half an hour

"There is nothing else, I will take my leave now." Even in the face of Luo Hao, Yun Xi still maintained her usual cold demeanor.

"Ah Yunxi, you are so beautiful, why don't you smile more? There's no need to keep a cold face all day long," Luo Hao said to her back.

The dinner time at Donghai University cafeteria is at 5:00 PM. Even though Yunxi eats in a relatively elegant manner, half an hour is already sufficient. Coupled with the inherent modesty of girls, she will arrive at their agreed pavilion half an hour late. Now, Yunxi has already been waiting in the pavilion by the scenic lake for a full half hour!

Special forces operations, particularly behind enemy lines infiltration, sometimes require carrying equipment and weapons over distances of several dozen kilometers on foot. Therefore, in addition to having good physical fitness, it is essential to combine scientific breathing techniques to maximize energy conservation and ensure combat effectiveness

Luo Hao can no longer imagine the consequences of letting the boys from Donghai University know that he actually kept their goddess waiting for half an hour, which would surely incite their wrath. All he can do now is to speed up, speed up, and speed up again, in order to reach that small pavilion in the shortest time possible

Yes, I apologize for being late

"No, I just went to the supermarket with Xu Xudong and it took a bit of time," Luo Hao shook his head in denial. Trouble? In Luo Hao's view, it was not considered trouble; it could only be regarded as Wu Yun providing him with a free human punching bag to relieve his boredom.

Yunxi turned around to look at Luo Haojun's handsome face, suddenly extending her delicate white hand towards him, and coldly said: "Hand it over."

From the grove where Xu Zhenhua confronted him to the pavilion, there lies another grove in between. Luo Hao was so frustrated that he almost wanted to curse. Was the principal's mind pinched by the door? Why plant so many trees for no reason? Isn't this creating opportunities for those eager men and women, like dry kindling, to engage in wild affairs?

The rotten fruit on the cardboard box, which has been bitten into, already indicates the lineage of the phone inside the box. This is far superior to his own shattered-screen counterfeit phone. Moreover, Luo Hao is the kind of person who does not have many demands when it comes to mobile phones

At that moment, a figure suddenly sprang out from the small grove beside the pavilion, blocking Yunxi's path. The unexpected obstruction startled Yunxi, but upon recognizing the person's appearance, she placed a hand on her heaving chest and let out a heavy sigh of relief. However, her brows quickly furrowed, and in her uniquely cold voice, she said: "Luo Hao, you have gone too far!"

The two individuals re-entered the pavilion by the scenic lake, at which point the sky had completely darkened. If one did not approach closely, it would be impossible to discern who was standing in the pavilion, which spared Luo Hao and Yun Xi a considerable amount of trouble

"Do you already know about this...?" Luo Hao said with a somewhat awkward expression, forcing a smile.

Since the age of 10, Luo Hao has been training under his mentor, following the load-bearing cross-country training program of the United States Navy SEALs to enhance his strength and endurance. By the time he took the assessment for the Dragon Hidden Unit at the age of 15, his physical capacity had enabled him to carry a load of 20 kilograms and complete an extreme cross-country course of 40 kilometers, far exceeding the limits of other candidates.

As Yunxi raised her wrist for the sixth time, watching the hands of the watch reach the final deadline, and with Luo Hao still not appearing as she had anticipated, she stamped her delicate foot and turned to walk out of the pavilion.

"My student ID, how much longer do you intend to hide it?"

Luo Hao handed the shopping bag in his hand to Xu Xudong, and with the speed he had during his armed off-road training in the Longyin Brigade, he dashed like the wind towards the pavilion by the scenic lake at the school. It was only at this moment that he remembered what Yun Xi had said to him during the morning registration: to wait for her at the pavilion by the scenic lake after dinner

Seeing Luo Hao's chest rising and falling as he adjusted his breathing, along with the layer of glistening sweat on his forehead, Yun Xi understood that he must have experienced intense running during his rush to arrive. Her resentment diminished considerably, yet she could not help but question him: "Do you still not possess the sense of time that a soldier and a man should have?"

Laugh? There is no need for that

Although Yunxi spoke very definitively, with his back turned to Luo Hao, from an angle where he could not be seen, the corners of his mouth still involuntarily curled up into a beautiful arc

What? Luo Hao was somewhat baffled by Yun Xi's sudden action

"Not bad, I really like it," Luo Hao said with a smile.

"Well, I only have a few items in my handbag. If I were to encounter a thief, it makes no sense to take a wallet with cash and a phone, but instead choose to take a student ID that holds no value. Moreover, the most important point is that it was you who helped me retrieve the items back into my handbag that night!"
