Feng Yi returned to Wind Thunder today to see those old friends he used to hang out with. Given that his vacation time is a month, he wouldn't be able to stay long in Alpha. Seeing Sheng Qiangwei with tears streaming down her cheeks, he was quite at a loss for words.

"Alright, spare me, please. You won't be pretty if you keep crying."

"Humph, I thought you..." As Sheng Qiangwei continued, her eyes became well up with tears, making them red. The young man had put her in the hospital and disappeared, leaving no news for half a year. Even to this moment, Sheng Qiangwei still found it hard to believe that she was indeed hugging the real Feng Yi.

She treasured the moments they're having now as she relished the feeling of pouncing into Feng Yi's arms. The sensation Feng Yi gave her was tranquil and composed. Before she even finished her thought, she softly hammered his chest with her small fists.

Despite her not finishing her sentence, Feng Yi clearly understood what Sheng Qiangwei wanted to say. An ancient saying goes like this: the favor of a beautiful woman is hard to repay. He felt quite helpless in the face of this cool but passionate girl. Ironically, they were merely friends, yet upon seeing each other the atmosphere seemed quite off. Feng Yi sniffed, "What brand of perfume are you using?"

"It's shampoo actually."

"I didn't know shampoo could smell so good."

Blushing, Sheng Qiangwei twirled a lock of her hair near Feng Yi's nose, "Is it this smell?"

"Yes, it is this familiar smell," Feng Yi said awkwardly. He was not used to this romantic atmosphere. Even while he was with Sheng Qiangwei before, he never had such feelings. But ever since the Big Macs battlefield, he found himself being drawn into such a situation. His heartbeat was even quickening. Deep down, Feng Yi knew what was stirring his emotions—it was the feelings that Sheng Qiangwei had borne towards him. The feeling of being cared by a girl with long black hair is appealing. The key was what Sheng Qiangwei had said to him in his arms.

"Hey."

Sheng Qiangwei's voice pulled Feng Yi out of his thoughts, "What's up?"

"Well..."

Blushing, Sheng Qiangwei hesitated to say more. Despite her usual portrayal as a strong woman, she was, in essence, an innocent girl. Upon revealing what lies beneath her tough exterior, her false facade became insignificant, especially in front of Feng Yi.

She bit her red lips, "Can't you say something?"

"Ahem, the weather is nice today, sunny and breezy. Since it's the weekend and we both are free, we feel nice, don't we?"

"Dumb...dumbass, fool, block...blockhead, you big blockhead. It's always the girl who has to say things like that." Sheng Qiangwei glanced away as her voice became barely audible. There was a flurry of emotions inside her, "Fine, in crucial moments like this, it all depends on me." She seemed to be brewing something internally.

In fact, compared to her past demeanor, Sheng Qiangwei had changed significantly. She used to be quite proud, but once 'that' incident happened, she became less constrained.

That being said, Feng Yi's lack of emotional intelligence was quite shocking. Only after hearing Sheng Qiangwei's last words 'will you kiss me' did he finally come to realisation! Life is filled with uncertainties, and it is neither too long nor too short. If there is a girl who cares for you, what else can one ask for? In response to Sheng Qiangwei's tenderness, Feng Yi decided to take responsibility.

Just as he was about to make a move, Balun, along with several other previous logistics team leaders and students, barged in, interrupting the moment.

Sheng Qiangwei's body shuddered slightly. Although she had turned her back to the crowd, her ears picked up the sound of people's conversation. Despite having taken off her veil, only a bit of Sheng Qiangwei's proud nature as the president of the martial arts society remained. The sudden change was a shock to her. As a girl, she cared about her reputation. If rumors about a secret love affair travel around, it would ruin her life...

However, Feng Yi seemed quite unabashed. Instead of embarrassing himself, he encouraged Sheng Qiangwei through his actions, assuring her that their relationship was real. "With me around, what have you got to be afraid of?"

'With me around, what have you got to be afraid of?' These six simple words injected Sheng Qiangwei with boundless strength, like a shot of adrenaline. It was the happiest day since she had entered Wind Thunder. Without a second thought, she snuggled into Feng Yi's arms and closed her eyes.

The crowd was left speechless. 'Boss is so awesome...' They never thought that he would hook a girl the moment he came back after half a year.

When they saw Sheng Qiangwei's blush, they were dumbstruck. The crowd exchanged look of disbelief. Notorious for being the only beauty following Zi Mou, Sheng Qiangwei was a sophomore and the blossom of Wind Thunder's command department. She rejected many admirers but now it seemed that she had a crush on someone all along.

"Boss, is this girl your girlfriend?" Mu Tou jumped out from the crowd. No one would have raised the question hadn't the honest man mentioned it.

The crowd nervously anticipated Sir Feng's answer. Though simple, the answer carried extraordinary significance. Would he forsake the entire forest for a single tree? It was well-known that Feng Yi held a prominent status in Wind Thunder.

"Yes, she is." Feng Yi gave a frank answer without further explanation that he just recently started dating her.

It was certainly big news in Wind Thunder. The boss actually had a girlfriend as beautiful as a flower, that's so envious! Someone started to tease, "Boss, times have changed. No matter whether you have a girlfriend or not, can't you address me as your superior?"

The man was a lieutenant, probably just received his rank not long ago. Feng Yi merely chuckled and casually took out his Hero Medal, which blinded everyone's titanium alloy dog eyes.

All agreed that Feng Yi was breaking the rules. Everything can be trusted, but they refused to believe that he had won the Hero Medal. Nobody in the federation had received the Hero of Liberty Medal in many years.

It didn't matter to Feng Yi, whether or not they believed. No one could threaten his status no matter what rank they held. The reunion was particularly joyful, as a way for the old friends to remember their days of struggle and hardship. To behave otherwise would be out of character.

One of the rich kids reserved Aier Bar for that evening. Back when Feng Yi was a trainer, he used to host lavish feasts. Since Feng Yi returned, old friends were not at all hesitant to celebrate.

But no kidding, among this group, many had the potential for future development than just Mu Tou. They might not say it out loud but they all knew that their future achievement would probably be higher than Feng Yi. For instance, Elvis, Zhang Xiaobo, a discipline committee member, two freshmen, and several unrecognized Wind Thunder alumni. The current year has 12 names on the list of Red Cloak elites.

Together with all the major military schools, there was a total of 72 pending Red Cloak elites for this year, and Wind Thunder held 12 seats. It showed how much Wind Thunder had risen in just one short year.
