Chapter 24: Making Enemies
“Some people have no manners at all. They arrived early but didn’t hurry over to assemble, still standing there chatting and laughing with students from other departments, without any sense of unity!”
Shi An’an and the other just arrived at the class assembly place when they heard Lin Miao speaking sarcastically nearby, instantly drawing looks from the surrounding classmates.
“You…” Shi Lele instantly exploded, ready to argue.
Shi An’an quickly pulled Shi Lele back, smiled at Xu Zihou, “Senior Student, sorry, we two are late.”
Xu Zihou glanced at the arrogant Lin Miao, frowned, turned to Shi An’an, and smiled, “No, there are still ten minutes until the specified time, no need to apologize, some classmates haven’t arrived yet.”
As soon as he said this, Lin Miao’s face immediately turned ugly, “Senior Student, isn’t what you’re saying a bit unfair?”
Xu Zihou’s face turned cold as he countered, “Then what do you think is fair? Before assembly time, punishing classmates for no reason, is that fair?
If I remember correctly, you just went to the Command Department, right? Then you ran to the Reconnaissance Department, and you only stood here half a minute earlier than them!”
Xu Zihou looked at the other students, “Not just you, others too. See, everyone is greeting people they know.” He raised his head, gesturing for everyone to look back.
Everyone looked back, then at their surroundings, and turned to look at Lin Miao again.
“Classmate, do you have a problem? Greeting friends is disunity? If you’re so capable, don’t go to other departments!” a boy couldn’t help but mock.
“Exactly, running around like a social butterfly everywhere, and now having the nerve to criticize others, got nothing better to do!” a girl had long been unable to stand it.
In an instant, Lin Miao was bombarded by others from the Botany Department.
Xu Zihou saw it was about enough and interrupted, “Alright, everyone quiet down.”
“Lin classmate, having a sense of unity and love is great, but in the future, pay attention to what true unity and love really are! In the coming years, everyone will be classmates, respect each other, tolerate each other, trust each other!
After you leave campus and work in different places, if something happens, you can still help each other. I hope among our Botany Department students, we treat each other with sincerity and advance together in unity!”
“Great!” The Botany Department boys all applauded and cheered.
The girls also looked at the Class Advisor with faces full of enthusiasm. Shi Lele clapped super energetically, while occasionally glaring at Lin Miao, who was full of shame and anger.
Shi An’an looked at Xu Zihou and nodded lightly, her gaze full of gratitude.
Xu Zihou smiled back, happy that he could repay the favor today!
In an instant, except for Lin Miao, the atmosphere in the Botany Department was very harmonious, everyone getting to know each other, and the new students also joining in.
Lin Miao clenched her hands tightly, constantly cursing everyone present in her heart. None escaped her curse. She secretly swore that later there would be hell to pay for them! And Xu Zihou too—once she stood firm in the Lin Family, the first one she’d deal with would be him!
“An’an, look at that Lin Miao, she’s so mad she looks like a balloon, hahahaha…” Shi Lele was in a great mood.
Shi An’an glanced at the sullen-faced Lin Miao, “This grudge is now set!”
“Huh? What grudge?” Shi Lele didn’t understand.
Shi An’an withdrew her gaze and cautioned Shi Lele, “Stay away from Lin Miao in the future. Right now, she’s like a snake in a rock crevice, eager to bite!”
Shi Lele understood this and nodded, “I know, I’ve seen it too. This branch family member from the Lin Family has a bad temperament, holding grudges after one conflict. Hmph, don’t mess with me in the future, or she’ll regret it! An’an, you be careful too!”
“Mm, got it.”
All new students assembled. Now, each class’s counselor or Class Advisor instructed on precautions and safety issues during Military Training.
“…So, remember, Botany Department students, don’t worry about grades. During Military Training, protecting yourself is most important, got it?”
“Got it! Survival first!” The Botany Department boys shouted loudly.
Instantly, students from other departments cast disdainful looks, but upon seeing the Botany Department uniforms, they immediately withdrew them. Joke’s on them—Botany Department students are the school’s darlings, not to be provoked, not to be provoked!
Then, from the other side, another department shouted, “Protect your lives, survive to the end!”
Everyone turned to look—tch, Chef Department. Tch tch, good grief, can’t provoke them either. In the future, when eating at the Restaurant, if the Chef is someone you have bad relations with, good grief, that meal might come with their saliva!
Botany Department and Chef Department students exchanged glances, their eyes full of admiration for each other.
……
“I see little sister!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect little sister!”
“Are you jealous that I get to do Military Training with little sister? Hahahaha…”
On the Starship, Lin Xi spotted Shi An’an in that small patch of green Military Training Uniform through the Window and smugly messaged his friend.
“Good thing this mission doesn’t need me, so I could snag the chance to lead student Military Training, hahahaha. I heard this morning you got the medicine packet our little sister sent? Later I’ll ask little sister for one too!”
Shi Anfeng, en route to his mission site, received a bunch of messages from Lin Xi, frowned, and added him to the blacklist.
Meanwhile, Lin Xi kept messaging, then found he couldn’t send, and burst out laughing, “Hahaha, got you mad, huh? Hmph, for taking away the Mint An’an gave me! Next time I’ll piss you off again!”
Thinking of that pot of Mint that Shi Anfeng had taken away, Lin Xi’s heart immediately ached.
“Adjutant Lin, what’s wrong? Not feeling well?” Ximi beside him had been watching Lin Xi. Since boarding the Starship, Adjutant Lin had been messaging someone—who, male or female?
Ximi looked at Lin Xi with concern and reached out to grab his arm.
“I’m fine!” Lin Xi snapped out of it, coldly stepped back to keep distance from Ximi, “Thanks for Adjutant Ximi’s concern. You keep watching, I’m going to find Chief Officer He.” With that, he quickly left.
Ximi looked annoyed—should’ve moved faster to touch Adjutant Lin!
“Adjutant Lin is quite blessed with romance, hahaha.” He Rui, who had seen the whole scene at the door, teased.
Lin Xi’s face darkened, and he said stiffly, “Want him? He’s yours!”
He Rui hurriedly waved his hands, “I don’t want it, I’m not blessed enough to enjoy it!” What a joke, he couldn’t handle this female Saiyan.
“Manage your people well. If she feels idle, give her more work!” Lin Xi walked into the command room and suggested to He Rui.
He Rui followed Lin Xi with an amused expression on his face, “Otherwise, how about you come take this chief instructor position? By the way, why didn’t you accept the chief instructor role back then? I was originally planning to take leave and go home, but our boss threw it to me…”
