Luo Ziling only wrote down Luo Yuqing’s mobile number, and didn’t ask for her other contact methods, such as QQ or WeChat, which left Luo Yuqing a bit frustrated. So many guys exerted themselves to get her contact information, and her WeChat and QQ numbers were something many people dreamed of obtaining; she hadn’t expected that the boy she met today would show no interest whatsoever.

This made her feel quite defeated while also being bemused, as it was the first time she’d been ignored by a boy.

So much so that after Luo Ziling had already made his getaway, she lingered there for quite a while.

“Such an arrogant little boy,” she muttered resentfully, “does he really think he’s something special just because he’s favored by Ouyang Huihui?”

Luo Ziling, of course, couldn’t have imagined that hurrying off today to meet Lin Lan on time would actually cause a beautiful girl to harbor a grudge against him.

Having chatted with Luo Yuqing for a while, Luo Ziling didn’t do any further training and went straight back to his dormitory.

After taking a shower, he grabbed the things he needed and went to the entrance to wait for Lin Lan. On his way to the school gates, he received a message from Lin Lan saying she wanted to eat wontons at the snack stall but hadn’t brought any money.

Seeing the message, Luo Ziling felt somewhat bemused but obediently ordered two bowls of wontons and an additional four baskets of steamed buns.

Just as the shop owner had finished preparing the wontons and brought over the four baskets of steamed buns, the striking Hummer driven by Lin Lan appeared in view. As the vehicle pulled up to the side, Lin Lan, dressed in black with sunglasses, hopped out of the car and strutted toward the snack stall in her black boots, capturing the attention of everyone nearby.

“You know, can’t you stop being so cool all the time?” Luo Ziling suggested helplessly as Lin Lan sat down beside him, took off her sunglasses without a greeting, and started eating with chopsticks, “If you keep this up, the school’s online forum might be abuzz with gossip in no time.”

“Is that your business?” Lin Lan responded nonchalantly after swallowing a steamed bun, then continued sipping her wonton soup.

Luo Ziling was immediately taken aback by her remark and almost choked, so he just buried his head in his food and ignored her.

Seeing that Luo Ziling wasn’t talking to her, Lin Lan looked up at him but stayed silent, continuing to eat her steamed buns and wontons.

Ultimately, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but break the silence to ask a question that had been puzzling him since morning, “Is your squadron leader still at the base today?”

Last time he visited, that pretty but somewhat annoying woman insisted on sparing with him, and although he ultimately agreed, it had left him with a psychological shadow. He didn’t want to experience a similar scenario today, being forced to practice with that woman again.

People from Dragon Rise were often out on missions, right?

As the squadron leader, Phoenix, she should be busier with more tasks and likely not at the base most of the time.

Luo Ziling was hoping to hear Lin Lan say that their squadron leader was out on a mission.

But unluckily for him, things didn’t go as he wished, just like he didn’t have any good dreams the night before, and Lin Lan delivered the tragic news.

“She’s already at the base waiting for you, hoping you can use all your strength to spar with her today,” Lin Lan replied after stuffing the last steamed bun into her mouth, chewing with puffed cheeks while responding to Luo Ziling’s question.

Luo Ziling stared at her small mouth for a long while with a serious gaze and realized he had yet another difficult question for which to get an answer.

Lin Lan’s mouth seemed just as small as other girls’, and pretty at that, yet why could she eat so much? Her appetite was almost as big as his!

Looking her up and down, she didn’t have any excess fat, apart from a fuller chest and hips compared to the average girl, nothing else was out of the ordinary.

Having held her, Luo Ziling estimated that Lin Lan, who was at least 172 cm tall, should weigh around 110 pounds, which seemed quite normal for her height. Could it be that all the food she ate was burned off as energy every day?

When Lin Lan saw Luo Ziling staring blankly at her mouth for a while, she looked puzzled, even touching her cheeks twice and wiping the corners of her mouth with a tissue, thinking something was stuck there. After these actions, her gaze towards Luo Ziling became slightly annoyed.

“I’m saying, can I not go today?” Under Lin Lan’s peculiar gaze, Luo Ziling eventually just said this.

Lin Lan almost choked on a bit of unswallowed meat juice, her frown deepening, “Why?”

“I don’t want to fight, especially not with women!” Luo Ziling said a bit aggrieved: “Every time I go, not only do I have to treat your commander, which drains my energy, but I also have to spar with you two women. If this keeps up, I’m afraid I’ll be exhausted to death. Do you know how uninspiring it is to fight with a woman?”

“You look down on women?” Lin Lan’s face showed annoyance, her hand reaching towards her waist, as if she was about to draw a gun.

“Think about it, fighting with a woman is thankless— if you win, there’s no honor; if you lose, well, there goes your face, all the way to grandma’s house. Although I don’t know where my grandma’s house is, I still find it embarrassing. Moreover, if you’re a bit too rough when fighting a woman, you get called despicable. Certain areas seem taboo to strike; isn’t it very uninspiring?” Luo Ziling spoke his mind, gulped down the soup in his bowl in one go, and then stood up abruptly, beckoning to Lin Lan, “Let’s go after you’ve finished eating!”

Lin Lan got up and followed him towards the Humvee. With emotionless tone, she said, “You can use any method to spar with her.”

“But what if I hit a place I shouldn’t and piss her off or you, then what if you pull out a gun in a fit of rage?”

“I’m not as petty as you!” Lin Lan showed a look of disdain, gave Luo Ziling a sideways glance, put on her sunglasses, took the driver’s seat, and started the vehicle, “Petty like a woman!”

As Luo Ziling fumbled with his seatbelt in the passenger seat, he retorted, “You’re not even blushing while lying. Who was it last time? I just made a gesture, and you acted as if I took advantage of you guys, non-stop calling me despicable the whole way.”

Lin Lan really wanted to punch Luo Ziling, especially on the mouth, this jerk was actually nitpicking over such trivial matters.

She had called him despicable two or three times at most, not all the way!

“Today you can hit wherever you want, alright?” In the end, Lin Lan said this bitterly.

“You said it yourself,” Luo Ziling remarked, his gaze inadvertently drifting to Lin Lan’s chest, which the seatbelt accentuated.

Unluckily, Lin Lan caught this gesture and once again felt like hitting Luo Ziling.

But as she thought about hitting Luo Ziling, her cheeks reddened slightly.

She was reminded of when they were in the small mountain village, the moments when Luo Ziling treated her wounds, and also the recent times at the base when he checked her wounds and helped fade her scars…
