Looking at Ye Linchen's calm and collected face, and the undisguised disdain in his eyes, Zhang Tingting felt a surge of anger rising within her.

She cursed angrily, raised her hand, and slapped Ye Linchen across the face.

"You country bumpkin, you're asking for it!"

Ye Linchen was prepared and quickly grabbed Zhang Tingting's wrist.

"Want to hit me? Don't you know your own limitations!"

Zhang Tingting tried hard to pull her hand away, but found that Ye Linchen's hand was like an iron clamp, firmly holding her wrist and not moving an inch.

I still felt waves of pain in my wrist.

She was both anxious and furious, and screamed, "Let me go! Ye Linchen, let me go!"

Ye Linchen looked at her coldly, but tightened his grip even more.

She had worked in the countryside for many years and was very strong. Zhang Tingting suddenly felt as if her wrist bones were about to break, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

"You barbarian, let go! My hand is going to break!"

She suddenly became frightened.

Ye Linchen's expression is so fierce, could he take the opportunity to kill her?

What good is it if she dies, no matter how capable her family is!

She felt a sudden panic, gritted her teeth, and desperately twisted her wrists, trying to break free, and yelled at the girl who was helping her pack her things.

"Are you dead? Come help me!"

Seeing that things were not going well, the girl quickly ran over, grabbed Ye Linchen's arm, and pleaded, "Classmate, let it go, it's just a small matter, don't be angry, don't make a big deal out of it."

Ye Linchen glanced at her with disgust, and like throwing away a rag, he abruptly shoved Zhang Tingting backward.

Zhang Tingting lost her balance, staggered a few steps, and sat down on the ground with a "thud".

Seeing Ye Linchen staring down at her, the hatred in Zhang Tingting's eyes almost materialized.

The last person who dared to challenge her like that is now buried under a mountain of weeds.

She refused to believe that she couldn't deal with Ye Linchen, this country bumpkin, with her skills!

After she dealt with Ye Linchen, it would be Wang Lina's and Li Hongying's turn next...

Hmph, none of them will escape!

She wanted to make all three of them kneel down and beg her for forgiveness!

Upon seeing this, the girl who was helping Zhang Tingting pack her things quickly stepped forward to support her.

Are you alright...?

Zhang Tingting was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger. She stood up, shoved the girl aside, and started cursing.

"Get out of here! You're useless! You can't even do this simple thing right, what use are you!"

The girl was verbally abused mercilessly, but she didn't dare utter a sound. She could only lower her head and keep apologizing.

Zhang Tingting rubbed her wrist, which had been pinched red by Ye Linchen, knowing that she wouldn't get the upper hand by using brute force.

She glared at Ye Linchen with resentment, said "You just wait," and stormed off.

After Zhang Tingting left, the girl breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Ye Linchen with concern.

Ye Linchen ignored her, walked to the bedside, packed a few things, and prepared to leave.

The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind, walked up to Ye Linchen, and whispered to persuade her.

"Ye, you...you shouldn't have provoked her. Zhang Tingting has an unusual background. If you go against her now, you'll definitely suffer in the future."

Ye Linchen stopped what he was doing, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you having a good time now? Being beaten and scolded by her at will, you have no self-respect at all."

The girl was pale and stammered, "I...I have no choice. My dad works for her dad. If I don't obey, it will implicate my dad."

She lowered her voice again and reminded Ye Linchen.

"I heard that Zhang Tingting's father has a good relationship with the person in charge of the air force base where we are going for military training. You...you should be careful during your military training."

Ye Linchen guessed that the girl must have heard some rumors, which was why she took the risk to come and inform him.

"Thank you for telling me all this," Ye Linchen said, his expression softening as he thanked her.

She picked up her things and walked out of the dormitory with Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan.

As soon as Feng Linlin stepped outside, she couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"My God, Zhang Tingting is so arrogant! Is she a crab? She's so domineering!"

Lin Xiaojuan looked worried: "Xiao Chen, you should be careful about what that girl said about military training. I have a feeling that Zhang Tingting won't let this go, and she might make things difficult for you during military training."

Ye Linchen felt a little uneasy, but still comforted her, saying, "Military training takes place in public; she won't do anything too outrageous."

Feng Linlin was still worried and suggested, "Why don't we ask Shen Yanlin? Isn't his uncle a leader in the city? Maybe he can put in a good word for us at the military training base."

Ye Linchen shook his head and refused, saying, "These are all baseless rumors, how can I talk about them? I don't want to trouble others."

Feng Linlin was still a little scared.

"You don't know, the way Zhang Tingting looked at you just now was incredibly vicious, like she wanted to bite you and eat you up. She's definitely not a kind person."

Ye Linchen didn't want to continue the topic and laughed, "Alright, let's not let this person ruin our mood. It's rare for us to get together, so why don't we think about what to eat tonight? Let's go to the market and have a good look around, buy some good food."

Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Feng Linlin immediately perked up, putting Zhang Tingting's matter out of her mind, and began to discuss the dinner menu with Ye Linchen with great interest.

"I want to eat braised pork! I haven't had your braised pork in so long, I'm so craving it!"

"I want to eat ribs again! Stewed until they're very tender!" Lin Xiaojuan couldn't help but swallow hard.

"No problem!" Ye Linchen replied with a smile.
