Gu Zhilin then came to his senses and said, "It seems you really like that person. Who is that person? Do I know them? Are they from your military?"
Lu Jin'an was surprised that this person didn't even consider her. She was momentarily speechless.
I have no intention of answering the other person.
Gu Zhilin continued, "If you really like the other person, you should make sure to explain our relationship to them beforehand. We are just partners and there is nothing else between us. Otherwise, they might hear about your Endbrain's predictions and misunderstand us."
Speaking of this, Gu Zhilin was also speechless. It was when he first met Lu Jin'an that he gave her a fortune reading.
The divination at the time indicated that Lu Jin'an's object of affection was his own birth date from a thousand years ago.
A thousand years ago, a person was the last one left on the entire earth, let alone on their own birthday.
But now the other person clearly has someone they like, so it seems my divination was inaccurate after all!
That's right. Back then, my master predicted that I was destined to be alone for life.
So he didn't think much of it.
Hearing Gu Zhilin's words about thinking of her best interests, Lu Jin'an was almost driven to the brink of fainting with anger.
But now he can't openly say that the person he likes is you.
So he could only grit his teeth and say, "Don't worry, he won't misunderstand."
"That's good." Gu Zhilin nodded, feeling that he might have interfered too much in the other person's relationship.
So he decided not to investigate further, thinking that he would find out naturally once he won her over.
As long as his presence doesn't interfere with her pursuing the person she likes, there's no problem.
After figuring this out, Gu Zhilin felt even better and called Lu Jin'an back to the dormitory.
After all, General Zhu just said that he would start training tomorrow.
His coach is his personal coach, Lu Jin'an.
This is a privilege granted by the general.
When the two returned to their dormitory, they encountered someone downstairs.
He stood at the dormitory entrance as if he were waiting for the two of them.
The man was tall and had long legs. He wore the same military uniform as Jiang Jiyang. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but there was a hint of melancholy in his expression.
Gu Zhilin had a decent first impression of this person, but he could see hostility in the other person's face.
He didn't understand why he felt such hostility towards himself, to the point that he harbored resentment.
This was the first time he had ever seen resentment in this era.
Lu Jin'an also saw the man, and he frowned as he led Gu Zhilin inside.
It seems they have no intention of paying him any attention.
But the man stepped forward and saluted Lu Jin'an, saying, "General Lu."
Lu Jin'an returned a military salute in response and then planned to continue walking forward.
But the man blocked their way, then his gaze fell directly on Gu Zhilin: "This is the partner General Lu found? An OEM?"
The other party's contemptuous tone annoyed Gu Zhilin, and he frowned as he looked back.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Jin'an say, "His name is Gu Zhilin, and he is my partner."
The man paused for a moment: "It's already confirmed that he'll be your partner from now on?"
Lu Jin'an frowned even more, but still patiently answered, "That's right, I have already received the appointment from the military, and General Zhu has just met with me."
"Also, the military never discriminates against gender. Whether Gu Zhilin is an Oemga, a Beta, or an Alpha, he is my partner and will become an excellent soldier."
The man seemed to be firmly controlled by Lu Jin'an's words. Although his expression still showed dissatisfaction, one could see his respect for Lu Jin'an.
So he gritted his teeth and didn't continue to question Gu Zhilin's identity. Instead, he said to Gu Zhilin, "Hello, I am Shang Shixu, a helmsman of the Earth Alliance Earth Garrison."
When the other party revealed their military branch, Gu Zhilin knew where their resentment came from.
He wasn't angry at all; instead, he smiled and replied, "Hello, I'm Gu Zhilin, and I'm about to become a helmsman."
Upon hearing this, Shang Shixu scoffed, his mockery quite evident: "I never imagined that General Lu's partner isn't even a reserve officer."
Then, looking at Lu Jin'an with a puzzled expression, he asked, "General Lu, are the helmsmen in our Earth Alliance Army all inferior to this person who has never piloted a warship?"
Lu Jin'an's face was already very ugly. He knew that many people would be dissatisfied with Gu Zhilin's arrival, but he didn't want Gu Zhilin to be targeted on his very first day in the army.
"Don't you know whether the helmsmen in the Earth Alliance Army are a match for me, Shang Shixu?" His tone was icy.
Shang Shixu then realized that he had gone too far. Although he was unconvinced, he still lowered his head and said, "It's because we didn't work hard enough."
Lu Jin'an snorted coldly: "I never want to hear such words again."
Then he pulled Gu Zhilin into the dormitory building.
Gu Zhilin was being pulled forward, but he couldn't help but look back.
Just then, he saw Shang Shixu looking at him with displeasure, his eyes filled with anger and grievance.
It looked like someone had stolen his wife.
Gu Zhilin was startled by the thought that popped into his head. How could Lu Jin'an be his wife?
The two returned upstairs to Gu Zhilin's dormitory entrance.
The smart recognition system opened the dormitory door automatically. Gu Zhilin turned around and looked at the man standing behind him. The man seemed to be planning to follow him all the way, which left Gu Zhilin speechless.
"You're back now, no one will bother me anymore, you can go back to your dorm."
Lu Jin'an nodded, but did not leave immediately.
He looked at the person in front of him, who seemed unaffected by what had just happened downstairs.
But he still said, "You don't need to take what just happened to heart."
Gu Zhilin paused, and it took him a second to realize that the person was referring to what had just happened downstairs.
He laughed and said, "I knew this would happen a long time ago, didn't I? General Zhu reminded me today, and you even stood up for me, didn't you?"
Lu Jin'an said with a faint smile, "In the end, it was I who caused you trouble."
Gu Zhilin was somewhat speechless: "It's not that you caused me trouble, it's that you're too outstanding. My partner is too outstanding, so he's constantly being watched, and the pressure is indeed a bit too much!"
Lu Jin'an frowned slightly: "You don't need to feel any pressure. I know your abilities. And since the military agreed to let you be my partner and let me train you, it means that your abilities have been recognized by the military."
Gu Zhilin didn't expect this person to be so nervous, and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "Don't get excited, I have no intention of backing down."
"The fact that my partner is so outstanding puts a lot of pressure on me... how should I put it? I'm quite proud of it." He gave Lu Jin'an a mischievous smile.
"Now that I think about it, no one in the entire Earth Alliance could match you as a partner, but I did. Doesn't that mean I'm awesome?"
