"Hmm?" Su Huo frowned. "If you have mental power, can I ask you why you're only now considering learning mecha combat?"
Ye Jiu shrugged. "I used to be interested in mecha, but I didn't go because I felt I wouldn't pass the interview for the Federal Military Academy. So I chose the mecha design major at Chengfeng University."
"Now, after three years of study, I understand mecha better and better, and the more I understand, the more I want to pilot one myself."
Su Huo relaxed his brow and gently shook his head. "Being a mech pilot isn't that easy. It's not bad that you've chosen the path of mech pilot."
Ye Jiu shrugged. "Don't underestimate me. I think I can still hold my own against you for a few moves."
Su Huo's smile deepened after hearing this. "I used to be a major general, after all. It would be bullying for me to fight you."
Ye Jiu pursed her lips and didn't reply. Looking at her own physique and then at Su Huo's physique, it was indeed hard to believe.
"Think about it again. If you've made up your mind, come find me, and I'll write you a letter of recommendation." Su Huo laughed heartily. "I've taken up a lot of your time. Go and study the mecha with your classmates."
Su Huo walked out of the crowd and muttered, "Sigh, having mental power is definitely not a good thing, and being a mecha soldier is not necessarily a good thing either."
Ye Jiu heard his words clearly, and indeed, his chaotic mental state was the best example.
Unfortunately, she didn't see this result as unsolvable.
"Ye Jiu, what are you standing here daydreaming about?" Yang Qinglu waved to Ye Jiu. "Teacher Liu has already started lecturing. Come over here quickly. Tonight's homework is to draw Ri Chi's design and then compare it with the original. The closer it is, the higher the score. What can you see from standing so far away?"
Ye Jiu walked over to Yang Qinglu's side. Yang Qinglu had already turned on the drawing mode on her personal computer and started drawing, while Ye Jiu had only glanced at the mecha a few times.
Ye Jiu glanced at her design sketch and exclaimed, "It looks just like it!"
"Hehe, you know I'm best at copying cats and tigers, so having the real thing is no problem at all."
Ye Jiu turned on her personal computer and pulled out the screen. "Luckily, we didn't waste too much time just now."
"You actually think it's a waste of time? So many people want to talk to General Su Huo!" Yang Qinglu looked at Ye Jiu with exasperation.
"But speaking of which, I didn't hear a thing last night. I didn't know you went through so much. You slept so soundly, hehe." Yang Qinglu scratched her head sheepishly. For the first time, she realized that sleeping too well was a problem.
Ye Jiu said indifferently, "What's the big deal? It's good that you didn't hear it. Don't ruin the glorious image of General Su Huo in your eyes."
Yang Qinglu thought about it carefully and realized that she couldn't fit General Su Huo's face into the scene she heard about last night; it was too disjointed.
"Thank goodness you're alright, otherwise I would have been the one to blame."
"...Everyone tells me the same thing, so let's trust General Su Huo's character a little."
“But he…” Yang Qinglu lowered her voice to make sure no one was paying attention, then leaned close to Ye Jiu’s ear and whispered, “His mental state is chaotic and he can’t control himself.”
Ye Jiu recalled the scene from last night. She had even thrown him over her shoulder. It seemed... he was the one who was more in trouble?
...
Through the privacy film, Pei Zhiyu could see everything inside the courtyard.
Ye Jiu... or so?
He sized up the girls in the crowd. Her looks were outstanding among them; she was about 170cm tall, and seemed cheerful and bold, but…
Was it just because of these reasons that Su Huo broke into her residence at night?
What's more, they hadn't even heard of this name yesterday.
Pei Zhiyu rested his chin on his hand, as if he had a secret.
——
As midnight approached, Ye Jiu saw the spiritual energy line from the previous night again, and she felt somewhat worried.
Let's get started. It would be a good thing if Su Huo recovered, but he still holds the rank of Major General. If his mental confusion suddenly clears up, the Federation will definitely investigate thoroughly and might even be able to find her.
Thus, she became a scarce resource, a canary in an ivory tower, living a life of comfort but without freedom.
Ye Jiu: ...
It's a horror movie, haha, and a toy, haha.
These mental energy lines were bothering her, so she simply closed her eyes to avoid seeing them. She would wait until she gained Su Huo's trust and could ensure that he would keep quiet about her before proceeding to the next step.
Ye Jiu thought about it more and more and felt that this matter was a bit big. Tsk, maybe she should just stop doing it for him. No matter what happens later, it will be too troublesome.
Ye Jiu rolled over and pulled the blanket tighter around herself. She'd deal with the rest later; she hadn't finished her homework yet.
Before going to sleep, Ye Jiu forgot that the appearance of the mental energy lines in her room meant that Su Huo had lost control again, and he almost blew up his room because he didn't get a response.
Zhang Jiang gave him a sedative with a blank expression. Why have he been losing control so frequently lately? He used to lose control every few days, but recently it's been happening every day.
Should he be glad that Su Huo didn't go looking for that girl this time? Otherwise, with that town mayor, she would definitely have gotten hurt.
The commotion next door woke Pei Zhiyu. He went outside and stood at the door of Su Huo's room, watching Zhang Jiang's actions. After Su Huo was brought down, Pei Zhiyu suddenly asked, "Dr. Zhang, how much sedative was added to Su Huo's dose?"
Zhang Jiang picked up the syringe and held it up to the light. "50 milligrams."
"Won't you get poisoned?"
“He has already developed drug resistance, and his good physical condition makes him immune to poisoning. Besides, apart from increasing the dosage of sedatives, I have no way to stop him from losing control.”
Pei Zhiyu smiled gently, "Dr. Zhang, you've worked so late."
Zhang Jiang sighed, "It's not hard work, it's just bad luck."
He packed his things, looked up and met Pei Zhiyu's gaze. "It's alright now, you should get some rest too."
Pei Zhiyu nodded. "Okay, goodnight, Dr. Zhang."
Before leaving, Pei Zhiyu gave Su Huo a deep look. His mental energy was very active. He wondered which of the two of them would die first. Hehe.

Although there was a lot of noise last night, no one dared to go out and see, which was completely different from the night before. Today, it was obvious that everyone was intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Su Huo.
Fortunately, he's easygoing and doesn't care about those things.
He would set up a chair in the yard, lean back in it, and bask in the sun. Occasionally, Liu Baiwei would ask him questions about Ri Chi and the design drawings.
There were many people in the courtyard, but it was very quiet.
Ye Jiu lowered her head and silently improved her manuscript. Many people had already submitted theirs, but she still needed to finish it.
With the final stroke completed in one go, Ye Jiu sent the drawing to Liu Baiwei and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Qinglu brought the nutrient solution to her and found that she had just finished drawing and was grinning foolishly with her big teeth showing. "Hey, you know, I just happened to come at the right time."
Ye Jiu took the nutrient solution from her hand and poured it into her mouth in one gulp. "Thanks, I was just about to get it."
The sun was shining brightly today, making the red and black mecha in the yard appear dazzling.
Ye Jiu squinted and looked around. She planned to go inside Ri Chi's mecha cabin that afternoon. She rarely had contact with the cabin. Although she knew the structure inside very well, she had never actually operated it.
I wish Su Huo could demonstrate it for her.
Ye Jiu turned her gaze to Su Huo, who was "sunbathing like an old man" in the courtyard. How peaceful! She was so envious.
