Chapter 1682: Again

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

These two students had the backing of the most famous female general in the country.

The moment the superiors saw that it had been Zhai Xin who had applied to join the mission, they immediately approved it without any hesitation.

After receiving his approval, Zhai Xin made some basic preparations. “Are you really not planning on going with me to get some experience? Godma and godpa did this too when they were younger.”

If they performed well while they were still in school and had an outstanding performance in this mission, they would have a better starting point compared to others when they really joined the military after their graduations.

No matter what, everything that they had was all earned through their own hard work. They had not relied on their relations. But Zhai Xin felt that efforts and shortcuts could go hand in hand.

Zhai Yi shook his head. “There’s no need. I have my own plans. Remember to take care of yourself when you’re on this mission since I’m not by your side.”

Zhai Yi knew that the only reason Zhai Xin was in a rush to go on a mission a whole year earlier than they had originally planned was because of Zhou Xing.

Even now that things had gotten to this point, Zhou Xing had the cheek to call Zhai Xin. It did not seem as though Zhou Xing had any intention of calling to apologize after the truth was so shamefully exposed. Before they left, Zhou Xing had even criticized Zhai Xin angrily. Anyone with ears could hear that Zhou Xing felt that it was their mother who was against their relationship.

So Zhou Xing hoped that Zhai Xin could express a man’s charm and decisiveness to rebel against his mother’s ‘tyranny’ so as to protect his girlfriend.

To go against his mother for the sake of a girlfriend whom he had not been dating for long? And one that he had no true feelings toward, no less! Zhai Yi once again confirmed that Zhou Xing had to be spending her free time on the weekends reading novels. Perhaps, Zhou Xing had not taken the college entrance examination because her academic results had been far from stellar.

To Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin who excelled academically, Zhou Xing’s poor results were no different from bad students. Including Zhai Yu, the three siblings had always swept the top three level rankings. The three siblings were never troubled over having average academic results or worried about not getting into a good school through the college entrance examination.

As for someone who often read novels and even transported herself into the novel, Zhai Yi thought that it was a smart decision for Zhou Xing to give up on high school and the idea of getting into university.

What Zhou Xing was tackling now was performance. Apart from her usual training, she did have a lot of free time. Otherwise, Zhou Xing would not have found excuses to visit their dormitory with soup every two to three days. Every time Zhou Xing sent soup over, it was really quite a hefty portion. It was not only Zhai Xin who could be filled and energized, but even he could get his share of two bowls of soup!

The soup that Zhou Xing cooked could not compare to their mother’s or grandmother’s, but her culinary skills were not particularly bad if compared to an average person’s. “I hope that we’ll never get any more soup in this room once you go on this mission.”

It did not taste bad, but it was unfortunately too oily.

Zhai Yi felt that it was all thanks to the great amount of training in school and their instructor’s ‘special treatment’ that the brothers’ training intensity was much higher than that of other students. It could even compare to that of normal soldiers. It was also because of this that the two brothers did not gain weight from Zhou Xing’s oily soup but managed to maintain a good physique instead.

That kind of soup did not do much for hunger, but because of its high oil and water content, it provided the much-needed calories.

“It will… I hope.” Zhai Xin had wanted to say that it would. Since he had already broken up with Zhou Xing, she had no business sending soup over to his dormitory. But he thought about how Zhou Xing was currently not sending any soup over, but she had continued bombarding him with calls. If he had not changed his phone number, his phone might still be ringing at this very moment. Just in case, the second thing that Zhai Xin did right after switching off his phone was to disconnect the only phone in their room.

He refused to let Zhou Xing find him through any channels.

Zhai Xin had learned his lessons from the phone calls. That was why Zhai Xin’s tone became hesitant when he talked about Zhou Xing not coming to find him or sending soup to him anymore. An average person would surely not come anymore. But Zhou Xing was not just an average person.

An average person would never get into a relationship all the while knowing that her boyfriend was her biological cousin and that their mothers shared the same mother. She even deliberately hid this information!

At the thought of this, Zhai Xin’s expression darkened. “Even if she’s shameless enough to send soup over to our dormitory, just don’t accept it. This is a men’s dormitory. She’s a girl. She won’t be able to come up.” Even if he had dated Zhou Xing, this was still a men’s dormitory and women could not enter. That rule would not change.

Now, even though Zhou Xing had become his cousin instead of his girlfriend, the rule still stood. She could not enter a male dormitory.

“Fine. That works,” Zhai Yi replied in satisfaction. If it was not for Zhai Xin, he would have rejected Zhou Xing the first time she sent soup over. Seeing that she had already progressed to sending soup over, Zhai Yi felt that Zhou Xing would not act according to Zhai Xin’s plan. She would not break up with Zhai Xin or set her eyes on another target after seeing more outstanding male university students just because of her young age and immaturity.

Even without any experience in dating, Zhai Yi could tell that much.

Now that he had gotten Zhai Xin’s permission, it would be much easier for Zhai Yi to work. To tell the truth, the reason why Zhai Yi had decided not to participate in this mission and stay by Zhai Xin’s side but had instead chosen to stay behind was also because of Zhou Xing.

He had to take the chance to clean up the last bit of this mess while Zhai Xin was on his mission. Zhou Xing was not one to give up easily, and many people in both schools knew that Zhou Xing was dating Zhai Xin.

If Zhai Xin just dumped Zhou Xing without any reason, it would be detrimental to Zhai Xin. Zhai Yi did not wish for Zhai Xin to be labeled as a heartless lad and have his reputation ruined just because of Zhou Xing.

What would happen if his future sister-in-law heard of these rumors and misunderstood Zhai Xin? As Zhai Xin’s elder brother, he had to help Zhai Xin tidy up these loose ends.

After his discussion with Zhai Yi, Zhai Xin left for his mission without any hesitation.

It had not even been two days since Zhai Xin left when Zhou Xing turned up just as expected. Zhou Xing was not just unwilling to give up but had also shown up at their school as Zhai Xin’s girlfriend.
