Chapter 112 Confession
Wen Le had underestimated the gossiping abilities of these men, but within a single meal, everyone knew about his childhood friendship with Lily. A few seniors even took advantage of his break to come over and ask, "Hey, can you do us a favor?"
"What help do you need?" Wen Le was extremely calm. These people in public would not attack him. If they really wanted to put him in a sack, they would definitely choose a time when no one was around. His classmates were still there, and if they really attacked him, it would be hard to say who would suffer.
Even though Wen Le had only been there for a day and wasn't familiar with his classmates yet, he was confident they would come to his aid if he was bullied. As the instructor repeatedly emphasized, they were a collective, and personal feelings had to be put aside when it came to Class A's collective honor.
Let's be realistic. Watching classmates get bullied in front of them would be embarrassing, and it would also make others think that Class A was a pushover. This wouldn't be conducive to fostering relationships. They were teammates, destined for battle. If they harbored resentment, who would dare to turn their backs on others? That would put them in a very passive position.
Just as Wen Le suspected, the gazes of all the students in Class A fell on Wen Le and his group, intentionally or unintentionally. Du Yu rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush over to help, but Qi Hao stopped him. He whispered, "Let's see what's going on first." What if it was just Wen Le who wanted to say a few words and get to know him? If they rushed over and beat up anyone they caught like that, that would be a completely different situation.
By then, even if you are right, you will become wrong, and you may even be punished for participating in a gang fight.
Haiyang also came over to persuade Du Yu, "Haozi is right. Let's wait and see." If the guys on the other side really started fighting, they wouldn't be pushovers. They wouldn't think they could just bully the juniors just because they were seniors. They would beat them up even if they were seniors. But they couldn't be the first to fight, otherwise they would be the ones on the defensive.
Du Yu puffed up his cheeks and said, "Okay."
Seeing this, the seniors who were blocking Wen Le tilted their heads and said nonchalantly, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be so popular."
Wen Le turned to look at his classmates, waved, and assured them he was fine. He felt much better, though. The feeling of being cared for was quite comforting. While the original intention might not have been the same, it was still better than being excluded from the group.
The leading senior put a hand on Wen Le's shoulder and acted like a good brother: "Boy, you are so brave to act like a little trick in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will really beat you up?"
"Then can you fight?" Wen Le shook off the hand on his shoulder. "Also, next time you ask for help, be nicer. This is not the right attitude to ask for help."
Do you really think he's scared? If he gets angry, the worst that can happen is that everyone will faint!
"Okay, you've got guts," the senior said with a forced smile, "How about this, if you ask your childhood sweetheart out for dinner with me, I'll spare you. Otherwise, I'll beat you up every time I see you." After a pause, he added, "Don't think we won't touch you just because you have classmates protecting us. I don't believe you can live your whole life without being alone."
"Brother, you shouldn't have come to me with this kind of thing." Wen Le pointed at Lily who was walking towards them. "You should have gone and told her in person. You can't be too reserved when pursuing a girl. Have you seen the news? There was a guy who asked a postman to deliver a love letter to his girlfriend, and she ended up getting together with the postman. That's a living example. Besides, we're childhood sweethearts. It's the right time, the right place, and the right people, you know?"
Wen Le thought to himself: If I really had something going on with Lily, would it be your turn? He was even asked to help arrange a date, and he'd have to have his head stuck in the door to do it. If someone really cared about his girlfriend so much that they came to his house, he'd have to destroy them.
"What's going on?" Lily came over as she spoke. She raised her eyelids and glanced at the seniors, then turned her gaze to Wen Le, "Did they bully you?" She looked like she would fight if Wen Le dared to say anything.
Wen Le was also malicious, not trying to cover up for these seniors. "They told me to ask you out for dinner with them, or they'd beat me up every time they saw me." He finished by saying, "But I didn't agree." "Look how nice I am! Can our relationship of all these years be compromised by a random threat? Absolutely not!"
Lily's gaze returned to the seniors after hearing this. "I heard you guys wanted to ask me out? Do you know the rules? You can only go out with me if you beat me." She raised her chin towards Wen Le and said, "You stay away."
Wen Le readily followed suit and hid aside.
What follows is a one-sided bullying.
Several seniors had hoped to defeat Lily, relying on their height and numbers, but they were all pinned to the ground and rubbed vigorously by the little fairy. The seniors' faces were instantly trampled on the ground, their glorious and imposing image shattered.
Unfortunately, they couldn't report it to the inspection team. They had been provocative in the first place, relying on their status, and were then bullied by a junior schoolgirl. In the end, not only did they lose face, but they also lost their dignity. For the sake of face, they could only endure it and do everything they could to keep the matter secret. Otherwise, how would they survive in the future?
However, they couldn't just keep this a secret. A sly student quickly filmed the incident and posted it online, making these unlucky seniors a popular topic of conversation and jokes. Some even said it was shameful for a man to have to go to such lengths. Others said Wen Le was the true winner in life, having gotten a goddess to help him out without spending a dime, a hallmark of a successful man.
Wen Le said: I am wronged!
He was even more wronged than Dou E. He was the innocent victim who was implicated, so how did he suddenly become the beneficiary? This logic deserves full marks.
The saying "even if you're lying down, you get shot" refers to people like him.
The incident became public knowledge, and the inspection team eventually invited them to drink a tainted cup of tea. Fortunately, the seniors had the decency to deny the fight, saying they were just sparring. They'd heard there was a particularly skilled girl in first-year class A, and out of curiosity, they'd come over to test their skills against her.
Since the real victim had said so, Lily naturally didn't want to cause trouble for herself and said readily, "Yes, we were just having a friendly exchange."
The teachers in the inspection team looked at the panda eyes on the faces of several seniors, then looked at Lily with a righteous look, and were suddenly speechless.
How could a friendly exchange lead to such a beating? Do you think they're stupid?!
But the students insisted it was just a normal exchange, not a fight, and there was nothing they could do. After all, it was a minor incident, and there was no point in making a big deal out of it. Fights among military academy students were perfectly normal. They handled dozens of public cases a day, and there were countless more hidden incidents they didn't know about. If they were to investigate every single one, they'd be exhausted. As long as it didn't escalate into something as egregious as a group brawl, the inspection team would generally turn a blind eye.
After all, this is a military academy, a place where male hormones are overflowing. If the young men, full of vigor and vitality, were to act as soft as girls, then they would be worried about the future of the empire. Youth should be so passionate!
Besides, who hasn't fought a few battles when they were young? This is also a kind of training opportunity. Haven't you seen that those carnivorous wolves learned their hunting skills from fighting with their brothers?
So fighting is the instinct of carnivores.
Although the inspection team does not intend to pursue the matter, they still have to go through the motions, so they will be criticized and educated, and finally their instructors will take the person back, and the matter will be settled.
As for what punishment these little bastards will suffer after being taken back by the instructor, that is not something they can worry about.
Instructor Li was supposed to be meeting a girl that afternoon, but before he could even get ready, this incident happened. These bastards completely ruined his date. It was hard to believe he was in a good mood. He was sullen the entire way, scaring Wen Le and Lili into cowering. Even though Lili usually acted fearless and invincible, she was timid when she met Instructor Li.
Arriving at the office, Instructor Li poured himself a glass of water and took two slow sips before lifting his eyelids and glancing at the two students. "Tell me, what's going on? Don't try to fool me with the same excuse you used against the inspection team. I don't believe it."
Wen Le turned his eyes to Lily and motioned her to speak.
Lily pretended not to see it, secretly poked her friend's waist with her finger, and looked at him threateningly: You say!
At times like this, your friends are there to plug the holes in the water. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you don't let them try the water's depth first.
So Wen Lemu recounted the entire incident with a stern face. Despite his apparent composure, he was actually ready to cry in the bathroom. What could he do? He was desperate. He couldn't afford to offend either of these two people, so he could only passively take advantage of them.
After hearing what happened, the big devil glanced at Wen Le with disgust on his face: "Do you think you are still a man? You actually need a girl to protect you when you encounter trouble?"
Wen Le: “…”
Report to the instructor, he is not a man yet, he is only 17 years old, he is still a boy! But he dare not say this...
So even if you feel wronged and cry, you can only swallow these tears silently.
The big devil continued to stab Wen Le in the heart: "Don't you think you are ashamed? You can't even protect your girlfriend, and you still want her to protect you in return. Aren't you ashamed?"
Wen Le… Wen Le couldn't help it any longer and shouted, "Report! Lily is not my girlfriend! And I don't think it's shameful to be weaker than girls. Men and women are equal, so why should girls be weaker than boys? Boys can protect girls, and vice versa, girls can also protect boys in return. I think this is the fairest way!"
Instructor Li was so angry at his words that he laughed: "So you think you are right?"
Then he turned to look at Lily: "Did you hear that? This coward doesn't even acknowledge your relationship, so why are you still protecting him?"
A bunch of bad boys. He is still single, but all the little brats have girlfriends. Not only do he not cherish them, but he also doesn't cherish them. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
"Report! He's really not my boyfriend!" Lily said seriously, "He's not my type!" Then her eyes fell on Instructor Li's face, "I like instructors like this." After a pause, Lily looked at the big devil with sparkling eyes, "Instructor, would you consider being my boyfriend?"
“Cough cough cough!”
Instructor Li was so shocked by Lily's brilliant move that he almost spit out his tea. He scowled, "What nonsense!" He glanced around guiltily, making sure his colleagues were gone before he breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would have been the one making the headlines. This was far more egregious than what the students had done. A relationship between a teacher and an underage student was a sensitive topic, especially since this was a military academy, with even greater repercussions. If the outside world knew about it, he and Lily would both be expelled from the school, and perhaps even face a military court hearing. This was no joke.
"I think you guys are just too idle!" the Big Devil said with a sullen face. "In that case, double the weight today. Do the full set of movements twenty times. Don't go back to bed until you're done!"
"Get out of here!"
Wen Le and Lily quickly left.
Watching the two guys go out, Instructor Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He felt exhausted. These bastards were really a worry.
Coming out of the instructor's office, Wen Le couldn't help but give Lily a thumbs-up. "Great, sister. That was such a ruthless move. You just scared the devil so much he turned green. Haha."
Lily glanced at him. "I'm not kidding." She had truly spoken. Instructor Li was her ideal type. This tough man, a veteran of battle, truly captivated her. If it weren't for his status, she would have confessed her feelings long ago. Her mother had once told her that if you met someone you liked, you should make a move when it was appropriate, regardless of sincerity. The right thing to do was to get them into your life first.
Even if the melon you force is not sweet, you still have to pull it off first, so that it can be yours. Even if you don't eat it, it's still good to look at it.
In this matter, Vivian and Li Chenggong have completely opposite parenting styles, which can be seen from the two girls, Lily and Li Zhenzhen. Lily is more free and easy, while Li Zhenzhen is more shy and has a more romantic sentiment of a little girl.
Wen Le staggered in fright and quickly chased after him, asking, "Are you serious?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Lily smiled slightly. "Stop talking nonsense and get to the training room quickly, or you really won't be able to sleep tonight."
Wen Le's attention was indeed diverted. He wailed and ran towards the training room resignedly.
