Nantong University Anniversary (8)

Number Nine was dragged away by Jiang Yingdu.

Ruthless and swift, as if he had done it a thousand times before.

Number Nine tried to fight back, but he was seen as a weak and rebellious younger brother in front of Jiang Yingdu. He did not have the ability to escape the military sanctions and could only be dragged away by force.

Taking the opportunity, Xixi jumped out of his arms and buried her head in Gongye Jiwang's arms, meowing aggrievedly, as if accusing Number Nine of his terrible kidnapping.

Gongye Jiwang remained calm.

Appearing calm is also calmness.

He gently stroked Xixi's little head and soothed her, "Be good, let's ignore him next time."

朏朏 immediately straightened her waist and meowed in approval!

Shi Jianxia kept silent and did not participate in their conversation.

After No. 9 was completely dragged away, the two of them tacitly ignored the little awkwardness that had just happened and continued walking towards the check-in point.

After they were completely gone, a burst of thunderous laughter broke out on the second floor of the memorial hall.

Mu Shaoqi laughed so hard that he almost fell over in front of the railing. If Bai Qiqi hadn't helped him up, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Help! Why is Lao Du's brother so ridiculous? Gong Ye didn't even stab him right then and there! Is this the demeanor of a gentleman?"

Baili Xuanyao laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes, which was completely different from his usual image of a gentle senior. If his admirers and suitors saw this, they would probably be disillusioned on the spot and turn to the arms of others.

Que Zhaoying half-lay on her sister's shoulder, laughing so hard she couldn't stop shaking. She even watched the fun and said, "I really want to know what Gongye is thinking now. I don't think I've ever seen him scold anyone."

"Hahahahahahaha, what would Gongye look like if he cursed someone? Imagine the way you curse, Qiqi, and then imagine Gongye's face..."

"Help me, hahahahaha! Gongye's reputation is ruined! Little Nine's brother is going to get a high score!"

"Is Old Du trying to hold back his laughter right now? He's just being serious. He must be afraid Gongye will find out and come after him. No wonder he's running so fast with Little Nine in tow!"

The group expressed different "opinions" on this "accident". After gossiping enough, they each took Shi Jianxia's furry fur to visit Nandou Military Academy.

Nanteng Military Academy covers a large area. Because it was bombed before and renovated, Nanyuan took the opportunity to add many facilities.

Her educational philosophy is different from that of most military academy principals. She does not think that military academies must be serious and rigid. Instead, she believes that any learning activity should be a combination of work and rest, so there are many entertainment facilities on campus.

For this school anniversary, the student union made full use of these facilities. The mini-games set up at the check-in points were both simple and difficult, and participants could choose by themselves. The rewards obtained after completing the games were also different.

Gongye Jiwang saw the rows of dolls on the shelves and turned to ask Shi Jianxia, ​​"Did the principal pay you the copyright fees?"

Those dolls are not ordinary dolls sold on the market, but plush dolls made in proportion to the images of the cubs like 朏朏.

The doll of the fat boy Xixi was placed in the center of the shelf, with his head held high and chest puffed out, looking very proud. The owner, who was lazing in Gongye Jiwang's arms, seemed to feel that he was not in good shape, so he straightened his back.

Shi Jianxia was silent for a moment, "No, she said it's not profitable."

In addition, he also sent her a bunch of cute and coquettish emoticons, which was quite un-principal-like.

She thought about it and decided there was nothing to lose, so she agreed, but only this time.

The principal was fully recovered and promised to sell mango mochi, strawberry mochi and other mochi at a higher price.

Shi Jianxia wondered if the expenses for this school anniversary celebration came entirely from the share of the money the principal gave her for selling mochi. Otherwise, why would the principal be so generous and offer all the gifts for free? With her stingy personality, she would never waste this opportunity to make money even if it was priced at one star coin.

Gongye Jiwang chuckled softly, "It's indeed not profitable."

There happened to be a little girl nearby who had come with her parents to the school celebration. She tugged at her father's clothes, pointed at the doll in Gongye Jiwang's arms, and eagerly said, "Dad! I want a doll like this, too!"

When 朏朏 heard her voice, she tilted her head to look and moved her ears.

The little girl immediately exclaimed, "Daddy! This brother's doll can move!"

朏朏 responded again and shook its big furry tail.

The little girl was even more excited. She grabbed her father's clothes and said impatiently, "Dad! I want one too! I want one too! Please help me win one~"

No child can resist the charm of furry things, especially a cute cub like 朏朏 with shiny, white and translucent fur. The tuft of gradient hair on its forehead is the finishing touch. Even adults can't take their eyes off it, let alone children of a few years old.

The man recognized that 朏朏 was not a doll but a mimicry. He nodded to Shi Jianxia and Gongye Jiwang, picked up his little girl, and explained to her seriously that the moving 朏朏 was one of a kind.

The little girl understood and reluctantly took her eyes off 朏朏 and did not make a fuss about having it.

The big fat cub happily snuggled into Gongye Jiwang's arms. It loved being praised the most and would accept any praise.

Just at this moment, it was their turn to play the shooting game at the check-in point.

This time, Shi Jianxia did not take on everything, but raised his eyebrows slightly to Gongye Jiwang and said, "You come."

For military cadets, shooting games are no more difficult than doing basic addition and subtraction math problems for college students.

Gongye Jiwang readily handed the doll to Shi Jianxia and asked, "Which doll do you want?"

The dolls on the shelf are not only Shi Jianxia's children, but also mimic dolls of other military academy students, such as Nan Chiqing's Qian Gong Teng, Su Jiuzhong's Dome Shield...

They are the best students in Nanteng Military Academy. Due to their outstanding performance in the last league, they have won a large number of fans on StarNet. Among the tourists who come to attend the school anniversary, there are many of their fans, and naturally they want their mimicry dolls.

Before Shi Jianxia could answer, Xixi had already stretched out her chubby little paw, pointing at the Xixi doll in the center of the doll stand, and looked at Gongye Jiwang with anticipation.

Does this little guy want a proportional version of himself?

Shi Jianxia grabbed its chubby little paw in his palm and said deliberately, "I didn't ask you, why are you so excited?"

朏朏 immediately puffed up her cheeks, and her big dark eyes were full of grievance.

Gongye Jiwang laughed, "Both."

朏朏 was no longer feeling aggrieved. She proudly raised her little head and wagged her tail at Shi Jianxia, ​​as if showing off the favor she had received.

Shi Jianxia chuckled, "I'm used to it."

It's just spoiled. It needs to be coaxed all day long. It feels aggrieved if it is told a few words. After it can make sounds, it always hums, as if it is afraid that people don't know that it has been wronged.

Whose kid is this fat and capable?

Shi Jianxia replied, "I want a nine-tailed fox."

朏朏 immediately glanced at her with a small look, the meaning was very clear——

You actually want that little fox and not me?!

Shi Jianxia doesn't tolerate it.

Gongye Jiwang smiled and said "OK", took the game gun, selected the most difficult shooting level, without using mental perception, aimed at the fast-moving target on the virtual screen, and pulled the trigger!

A low and dull bang vibrated rhythmically. Gongye Jiwang hit the target every time he shot. In just half a minute, the announcement of the game victory sounded.

When putting away the gun, Gongye Jiwang's five white and slender fingers rotated flexibly, making a very beautiful gun flower.

The little girl who had just wanted the 朏朏 doll exclaimed "Wow, Wow!" and said with her hands on her face, "Brother! You are so awesome!"

Gongye Jiwang heard this and praised her, "Thank you, you are very cute."

The little girl immediately covered her eyes and buried her cheek in her father's legs, looking extremely shy.

Shi Jianxia thought, no wonder Gongye Jiwang has so many fans on Star Network. Even a little girl of four or five years old can't stand his smile. With his powerful strength added to it, it's like his dream lover has come true.

Gongye Jiwang had no idea what she was thinking at the moment. He took the two dolls handed to him by the robot, one for her and one for 朏朏.

朏朏 had no idea what politeness was. She opened her chubby little paws and took everything in, one on the left and one on the right, not giving Shi Jianxia a chance to pamper the nine-tailed fox doll, and she portrayed her pettiness vividly.

Shi Jianxia criticized: "Greedy boy."

朏朏 pouted, hugged the nine-tailed fox doll tightly, and stuffed her own doll into her arms, her intentions were obvious -

If you want to hug someone, you can only hug my doll. Don’t even think about hugging the little fox’s.

The nine-tailed fox that was sitting on top of Baili Xuanyao's head and wagging its tail sneezed not hard or soft. It rubbed its nose with its soft front paws and immediately began to look around, trying to figure out which bad guy was talking bad about it behind its back.

The big fat cub knew how to play to his strengths. He pulled the nine-tailed fox doll into Shi Jianxia's arms and meowed softly. The word "coquettish" was written on every hair on his body.

Shi Jianxia had nothing to say. He held it and shook it twice, "Fatty."

Gongye Jiwang's smile deepened, and the two of them walked towards the stamping point together.

The next few mini-games went smoothly, and during this period the two met Baili Xuan Yao and others who were also participating in the check-in activity.

The nine-tailed fox was sitting on top of Baili Xuanyao's head, holding a doll of the same model as his own. Seeing that Xixi was "hugging him left and right", he immediately became unhappy. He raised his fox ears and slid onto his shoulders, pointing forcefully at the check-in point for getting the doll.

Baili Xuanyao liked this little fox very much, so he immediately went back according to its wishes and won another 朏朏 doll for the nine-tailed fox.

The little fox was very happy. It slipped from his left shoulder to his right shoulder, and then from his right shoulder to his left shoulder, as if playing hide-and-seek. This made him laugh so hard that he wished he could take the little fox home.

They met the sisters Que Jinghong and Que Zhaoying at the bumper car check-in point. One of them was holding Zhu Yan and the other was holding Taotie, which was a strong contrast like the beauty and the beast.

Que Zhaoying greeted Shi Jianxia, ​​and Que Jinghong also nodded slightly.

Each bumper car can carry two people. The steering wheel can determine the direction of the bumper car. Long pressing the triangle area in the middle can control the acceleration of the bumper car. You can get a stamp and check in after completing a certain number of collisions.

Shi Jianxia asked Gongye Jiwang beside him, "Do you want to take the steering wheel?"

Gongye Jiwang shook his head, but before he could say anything, a furry little paw stood up in front of the two of them, wagging its tail from side to side, happily recommending itself.

Shi Jianxia was speechless: "...you're the only one who loves to join in the fun."

Three minutes later, the two got on the bumper car.

The bumper car was designed to be wide enough, but Gongye Jiwang was tall and had long legs, so after sitting in it he could only straighten his back to leave as much space as possible for his long legs.

Because there was plenty of sunlight in the afternoon and the temperature was a bit high, he took off his school uniform jacket, leaving only a slim-fitting white shirt with two buttons undone, revealing his perfectly curved Adam's apple and collarbone.

He also rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, leaving room for Xixi to lean on, so his arms leaned slightly outward, with the smooth lines of his muscles less than a finger's width apart, almost touching the outside of Shi Jianxia's forearm.

Shi Jianxia, ​​who didn't feel that hot at first, seemed to be overwhelmed by the heat of the sun and felt dry mouth for no reason.

She believed that the subtle changes occurred because the two people were sitting together at a distance that was definitely not far away, and the increase in carbon dioxide concentration caused it.

Shi Jianxia held her breath and tried to keep some distance, but the bumper car was not spacious enough and her figure was not petite at all. Her current sitting position was just right, and if she moved to the outside, it would seem too deliberate.

While his attention was distracted, the bumper car suddenly started moving. The impact was so strong that Shi Jianxia was caught off guard and lost his balance.

In a panic, she reflexively wanted to grab something and unexpectedly held Gongye Jiwang's arm tightly.

Gongye Jiwang was also startled, and quickly crossed his arm to stop her. With his other hand, he immediately grabbed the front paw that was pressing hard on the middle of the steering wheel.

The bumper car slowed down, and Gongye Jiwang asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

What could be the matter?

It was just that when the bumper car started, she was a little distracted, causing her to lose balance. Ordinary people can easily deal with such a small incident, not to mention that Shi Jianxia is a professionally trained military academy student.

Shi Jianxia realized that she had overreacted and let go of Gongye Jiwang's hand a little embarrassedly. "I'm fine. The bumper car started a little too fast and I didn't react for a moment. Did I scare you?"

Gongye Jiwang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the reason. When Xixi raised her head and looked at him with a blank look, she put her hands under its short legs, lifted it up and put it into Shi Jianxia's arms.

The big fat boy opened his eyes slightly wide, not understanding why he suddenly lost the chance to drive the bumper car, and flapped his short legs to regain control of the steering wheel.

Gongye Jiwang reached down with his slender hands, gently rubbed its little head, and coaxed it, "Be good, you are still young, this game is not suitable for you."

After saying that, he didn't give Xixi any chance to explain. He controlled the steering wheel to slowly accelerate, then gently touched the bumper car of the Que Jinghong sisters with a force comparable to that of a feather sweeping past.

Que Zhaoying, who had seen the entire scene, shushed him, "Gongye, didn't you have breakfast this morning?"

Gongye Jiwang replied seriously, "I drank the nutrient solution."

Que Zhaoying suddenly felt bored, so he steered the wheel around them and went to cause trouble for other bumper cars.

Shi Jianxia bit her lower lip lightly, feeling even hotter, and concluded that it was because Xixi's hair was too thick and dense.

After getting off the bumper car, the big fat cub looked listless, and it was obvious that he had no gaming experience at all.

Shi Jianxia fiddled with the soft golden fur on its forehead and said seriously, "Your fur is too thick. How about I take you to get it trimmed later?"

朏朏: “?”

It hugged its fat self, decisively escaped from her clutches, kicked its legs and jumped into Gongye Jiwang's arms, revealing the word "rejection" clearly.

Gongye Jiwang was amused by its appearance and said to Shi Jianxia, ​​"Don't scare it. The length and density of its fur are just right. It feels very comfortable to touch."

Shi Jianxia had to give up the idea of ​​taking the fat boy to get his hair cut. In fact, it was an energy body and might not really be able to do "haircut".

"Then let's go to the next check-in point?"

Gongye Jiwang shook his head. "The sun is a bit strong. How about we go to the dessert area over there and take a break?"

Shi Jianxia felt hot and agreed to his suggestion.

Changing the subject, 朏朏 poked her little head out again, grabbed Gongye Jiwang's shirt sleeve, and pointed at the bumper car with her front paws.

This is because I feel that I didn’t have enough fun just now and want to play by myself.

After asking for Shi Jianxia's opinion, Gongye Jiwang went to get a game ticket, put the fat cub in the bumper car, and let it play by itself.

Shi Jianxia warned it not to drive the bumper car too fast.

朏朏 nodded repeatedly and pointed to the dessert area, indicating that they could move around freely and not worry about it.

Shi Jianxia knew that although the dog loved to play, he was still very sensible and did not lecture it too much. He and Gongye Jiwang found a seat in the dessert area where they could watch it and sit down.

They each ordered a small cake and a smoothie drink.

No one spoke, and no one felt awkward. They had spent many times together in such quiet moments when they were accidentally stranded on Xiaohan Star.

When Shi Jianxia finished the last bite of the cake, Gongye Jiwang also put down the spoon. He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the bumper car game area, as if someone had a dispute.

Thinking of 朏朏 who was playing bumper cars alone, the two of them stood up at the same time and walked quickly towards the direction where the noise came from.

Looking across the crowd, Shi Jianxia saw two children about four or five years old arguing with each other. One of them was the little girl she and Gongye Jiwang met in the shooting check-in game.

She half-hugged Xixi and shouted, "You can't take it away! It's a mimic of its older brothers and sisters! They'll come back for it!"

The little boy standing in front of her was a little fat and was holding on to the front legs of the cat tightly and refused to let go. After hearing what the little girl said, he not only did not let go, but also pulled it towards himself.

"What brother or sister?! If I catch it, it's mine! I'll make it my pet!"

It was so unreasonable that Shi Jianxia could guess the whole story without asking, and his face immediately turned dark.

The little girl's father quickly said to the equally arrogant young man standing behind the little boy, "It is indeed a mimic of a little girl. She must have accidentally left the little guy behind and will be back to look for it soon."

The young man raised his chin slightly and sneered, "So what? My nephew likes it. If that person comes looking for it, we can take it away together. As for you, since you have nothing to do with it, don't stop here and talk nonsense!"

The man had never met such a rude person and was furious. His friend walked quickly to his side, whispered the boy's identity, and signaled him not to meddle in other people's business.

The onlookers were whispering to each other. 朏朏 was hurt by the pulling, so she kicked the little boy's arm, making him fall to the ground with a thud. She took the opportunity to run and jump into Shi Jianxia's arms.

It felt very aggrieved and stretched out its painful front limbs and presented them to Shi Jianxia.

When Shi Jianxia squeezed into the crowd, she saw the little boy's rude behavior. She was annoyed and distressed. She immediately bent down and blew on it, and the big fat boy crawled into her arms pitifully.

The attention of the people around was attracted by the two conflicting parties, and 朏朏 was the fuse of the dispute. Everyone followed its escape movement and saw Shi Jianxia who had just squeezed into the crowd.

Combined with what the little girl’s father just said, it is not difficult to guess that she is the owner of 朏朏.

Before the onlookers could think much, the little boy who fell and sat on the ground suddenly howled loudly and kicked his legs, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

The young man was stunned for a moment, picked him up from the ground, and then glared at Shi Jianxia and Xiaoxiao who were nestled in her arms, "How dare you! You actually ordered your mimic to hurt my nephew!"

Shi Jianxia has never met such a weird person since he traveled through time. Not only did he forcibly steal other people's mimicry, but he also dared to complain first.

She was too lazy to talk nonsense and opened her smart computer to dial the security department's number. Before the call was connected, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her smart computer without saying a word.

But when that hand was still about a foot away from Xia, it was caught in the wrist by another raised hand.

There was a slight cracking sound, and the man dressed as a bodyguard howled in pain, holding his hands and taking several steps back.

Gongye Jiwang stood beside Shi Jianxia, ​​took out a wet wipe and slowly wiped his palm, even touching every finger of the bodyguard. Finally, he rolled up the wet wipe and threw it accurately into the trash can next to him.

His movements were smooth and fluid, from removing the bodyguard's wrist bone to throwing the wet wipes into the trash can. He didn't say a word, but he showed his "contempt" to the fullest.

Many people recognized him, and discussions such as "It's Gongye Jiwang" and "Why is he here" arose one after another.

He ignored the noises and looked up at the boy who was holding the howling little boy. He said in a cold tone, "Su Cheng, keep your dog under control. If it bites people again, I don't mind disciplining it for you."

The young man who just looked like a second-generation rich kid quickly turned cold when he saw him, and there seemed to be a hint of ice in his eyes.

In the end, he said nothing, hugged the crying little boy, and quickly left surrounded by several bodyguards.

Without the troublemakers, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Shi Jianxia also interrupted the outgoing communication.

She hugged 朏朏 to thank the father and daughter who stepped forward, and took out a 朏朏 pillow that she had customized on the Star Network from her space bracelet and gave it to the little girl.

The little girl happily shouted thank you to her sister several times, and 朏朏 also took the initiative to stretch out her front legs and shake hands with her.

After bidding farewell to the father and daughter, Shi Jianxia looked at Gongye Jiwang who was trying to coax her with a seventh-level insect crystal. The corner of her eye twitched, but she didn't stop him. "Thank you for just now."

She was naturally not afraid of the two men, but given their arrogant attitude, she was bound to have a fight, which might even alarm the principal and ruin her good mood.

Gongye Jiwang gently stroked Xixi's little head and said, "Don't be so polite. Su Cheng is not the kind of person who acts without thinking. He probably recognized Xixi as your mimic and came here to cause trouble on purpose."

Shi Jianxia was surprised and said, "I don't know him at all, and I have never heard of this person."

Gongye Jiwang looked around and took her to an empty pavilion. The invisible power of the stars spread out, isolating the pavilion from the outside world.

Seeing him so cautious, Shi Jianxia became more and more curious about what he was going to say.

Gongye Jiwang didn't keep the secret. "You should be able to see that the top brass of the Federation isn't a monolithic entity."

Shi Jianxia nodded.

"Su Cheng is Marshal Su Xunyang's only son. Marshal Su must have noticed you because of the incident with Xiao Hanxing. The Butterfly-Faced Man disappeared too strangely. He might think you and I lied and is looking for an opportunity to test you or win you over."

The unavoidable butterfly-faced man was destined to bring Shi Jianxia into the sight of the federal top brass. She expected that she would be investigated and monitored, but she didn't expect the test to come so soon.

"You and Su Cheng don't have a good relationship?" Shi Jianxia asked.

In the eyes of the federal top leaders, in addition to her, Gongye Jiwang is also a key figure in the Butterfly-Faced Man incident.

Gongye Jiwang was a prodigy in the military academy. After he became famous, many people would come to win him over. With this incident as a bargaining chip, those people would definitely be willing to offer a very high price.

Marshal Su Xunyang is the youngest of the seven marshals and has a promising future. If he is willing to extend an olive branch to a military academy student who has not yet graduated, I am afraid few people will be willing to refuse.

For Gongye Jiwang, who is bound to join the military or the Zerg Investigation Department, he is the best choice among the best.

But Marshal Su Xunyang seemed unable to recruit him, otherwise he would not have gone to so much trouble to test her.

Gongye Jiwang understood what Shi Jianxia meant and smiled helplessly, "Su Cheng is my half-brother. Marshal Su... doesn't like me very much."

Shi Jianxia: “???!!!”

The relationship between a stepfather and stepson can indeed be very close or very distant.

But he is so far away that Marshal Su is unwilling to even ask him for important information. How much does he dislike him?

But judging from Gongye Jiwang's tone, there didn't seem to be any irreconcilable hatred between him and Marshal Su. Could it be that he simply didn't like the child left by his wife's ex-husband?

Shi Jianxia admitted that she was a little gossipy now.

Gongye Jiwang skipped the topic and said, "Be careful in the future. If you encounter Su Cheng causing trouble for you again, just contact me."

Just then a breeze blew, lifting up Xia's hair that fell on her shoulders. The hair reflected the golden light of the setting sun, making her eyebrows and eyes look like a painting.

Gongye Jiwang raised his hand to catch the soft strand of hair, his voice low and hoarse, "Xia Xia, I..."

Plop!

Plop!

An unknown throbbing spread.

"Gong Ye." Shi Jianxia stood up and pulled back the strand of hair.

“I am a person without a future.”

She looked away, unable to see the end of the sky, just as she could not see the way forward for herself.

There is a sword of Damocles hanging over her head that could fall at any time, and this kind of danger is not suitable for another person.

What happened to Xiao Hanxing is enough if it happens once.

"I can handle Marshal Su's temptation myself."
