Ultimately, Luo Ziling rejected the middle-aged man’s invitation.
He was not interested in enlisting in the military; it simply wasn’t something he’d ever dreamed of.
Right now, he was a student. A student that had very complicated circumstances to deal with.
He had never attended school before, so for him to be able to come to Yenching to attend university, there were definitely many special circumstances involved.
It was even possible that this was arranged by his mother, whom he had never met before.
His grandfather had sent him out of their small mountain village in the hope that he could return to the city.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for him to become a soldier and live a life of isolation from the world.
Luo Ziling could feel that although these people here did not live a life of isolation from the world, they did not have much freedom.
There were so many restrictions on entering and leaving. This was not the life he wanted.
To sum his feelings up in one sentence, he simply didn’t want to be a soldier.
‘The middle-aged man did not seem surprised at his answer. He reached out and patted Luo Ziling’s shoulder, then left with the big guy.
With that done, Luo Ziling turned to face Linlan unhappily. “Aren’t you going to explain yourself? Also, I inexplicably fought with them, but I still don’t know who they are.”
Linlan hesitated for a bit, but said, “The person who just invited you is known as Eagle. The one with a big body is called Falcon.”
Luo Ziling was a little surprised, but he immediately understood and said cheerfully, “Oh? Why are they all named after animals? Are they code names? What’s yours, then?”
Linlan was so angry that she wanted to hit him.
This was too much!
This bastard must have deliberately belittled them and scolded them by saying that their code names animalistic! What a narrow-minded man. Didn’t he just get out of a fight?
She couldn’t help but inwardly disdain him a little.
“Why did they want to fight me? Did they really just want a spar?” Luo Ziling continued to ask. He didn’t believe that the only reason they’d fought him was because they wanted to spar, yet no matter how hard he thought on it, the uneasy feeling in his heart wouldn’t go away.
“They saw that your skills were pretty goof, so they wanted to test just how strong you were and if possible, recruit you,” Linlan explained.
After hearing her explanation, Luo Ziling forced himself to believe it. After thinking about it, he asked again, “Do you want me to come here?”
“No,” Linlan replied bluntly.
“But why?” Luo Ziling was a little surprised. He’d thought that she would also want him to come here.
The only thing that could potentially attract him here was her very presence.
He thought that she had a good impression of him and hoped to get along with him, but it tuned out that it was just wishful thinking. He was quite depressed.
“This place is not suitable for you.” Linlan’s words were still emotionless. She didn’t stop walking as she spoke, striding toward the small building where she lived.
Luo Ziling followed after her.
“What kind of soldier are you?” This was what Luo Ziling wanted to know the most. He hoped that Linlan would tell him.
“Why don’t you guess?”
*.,”Luo Ziling was stunned for a moment. He could only ask again, “Are you a very mysterious special force?”
“Why don’t you guess?”
Luo Ziling suddenly felt that talking to this woman was rather tiring; she would either not reply to his questions or ask him to guess the answer himself. He felt as if he was being played with. He had also seen scenes of women teasing men on television where they would ask the man to “Guess~” after
having been asked a question.
“Does she want me to guess because she has feelings for me?” he wondered. He brushed the thought away as soon as it entered his mind. Linlan had always treated him coldly, and she had always been unwilling to speak much. There was no way she had any interest in him. It was far more likely that she
didn’t like him.
‘There was a fine line differentiating love and hate, but the two were undoubtedly different concepts altogether.
While Luo Ziling was struggling with his thoughts, Linlan had already used her fingerprint to open the door of the room.
After entering the room, she took off her cool military boots and did not tell Luo Ziling to do anything. She walked into the room by herself.
He felt a little conflicted again. This woman was really a little annoying, How could she treat a guest that way?
On the way here, she didn’t talk to him or even exchange pleasantries with him.
With a sigh, he followed her into the house without waiting for her to call him in.
He didn’t know whether he should change his shoes and go in, stay where he was, or close the door and leave.
It seemed that the people here hadn’t properly learned etiquette and didn’t know how to treat people.
He would need to bring this up with the old man one day. He would suggest properly teaching the people here etiquette knowledge to improve their emotional intelligence.
After thinking over it for a while, he finally took off his shoes and walked inside.
‘When he went to the door of the room and saw the situation inside, Luo Ziling was stunned.
Because Linlan had started to take off her clothes.
Did she want to use force on him? If that was really the case, what should he do? Should he refuse or accept?
He brushed the thought away as soon as it appeared.
What a joke!
“You’re not missing anything this time, right?” Linlan asked indifferently.
“Tbrought everything I need.” Luo Ziling swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing, He then explained sheepishly, “But I still need warm boiled water. I couldn’t bring that over.”
Seeing Luo Ziling’s embarrassed look, Linlan couldn’t help but chuckle after looking at him for a while.
“There’s a washbasin in the bathroom, and there’s water in the kettle.” Linlan was embarrassed to put her clothes on again and go prepare warm water, so she left it to Luo Ziling.
The man in question obediently ran into the bathroom, took the washbasin, and proceeded to boil half a washbasin’s worth of water.
After the water had finished boiling, he put away the tools and medicine that he had brought with him, and then told Linlan, “Let’s begin!”
Linlan nodded and asked, “Should I sit or lie down?”
“Please lie down!”
Linlan didn’t say anything else and obediently did as she was told.
