“How could this happen? How could I make such a rookie mistake?” Zhao Chen, equally shocked, followed Yang Xiaoyou out and found himself unable to calm down.
Just moments ago, when Yang Xiaoyou drew the gun, he had indeed felt a sense of crisis. Because he had reached a certain level of awareness, his usual sensitivity to danger should have been quite accurate, though not precise.
However, that time, it was clearly just a highly realistic lighter. Even if it looked very similar, it shouldn’t have caused him to misjudge so severely. Did that lighter have some hidden function? Or did Yang Xiaoyou possess some ability that posed a threat to him?
Could it be that he was very strong? He had specialized in electronics and even gained recognition from Huangpu Military Academy. Did he really have the energy to focus on other areas?
Even if he had practiced some martial arts, compared to those two who were clearly experts in grappling, he would surely fall short. Yet, they were also intimidated by him.
Zhao Chen was usually cautious and stable in character. In situations like this, he preferred to rely on his own understanding and common sense for judgment. While this was a strength, it was also a weakness; to avoid affecting his own judgment, he rarely dared to speculate beyond his knowledge.
Ultimately, he concluded that the other two hadn’t reached the level of awareness needed to sense the crisis and mistakenly thought it was a real gun. His own misjudgment stemmed from his weaker physique compared to theirs.
This was how he rationalized the entire incident.
Watching Yang Xiaoyou wave goodbye as he left, Zhao Chen couldn’t help but let out a self-deprecating sigh. Given his current state, why was he worrying about someone else’s affairs? Even if Yang Xiaoyou had some hidden secrets, so what? Being recognized by both Hive Security Company and Huangpu Military Academy meant he must have some secrets.
“I shouldn’t dwell on this for so long,” Yu Yan said as she looked at Wang Chong, who seemed to be nervously muttering to himself. She felt a bit uneasy.
In this incident, she felt the most innocent; she had been caught in the crossfire and offended both sides while feeling embarrassed for being scared by a lighter.
She recalled how during training, they were constantly warned that no matter how strong one’s abilities were, they couldn’t withstand bullets. Even top experts could move faster than someone wielding a gun and predict trajectories to evade them, but when facing firearms, one had to be extremely vigilant—one slip could lead to disaster.
After thinking it over, she began to understand Wang Chong’s predicament. First, his precious photo had been deleted, and as a student of Huangpu Military Academy, being frightened by a replica lighter was an embarrassment that far exceeded her own.
There were so many students who witnessed it; it was utterly humiliating. What made it worse was that the somewhat sinister junior shook his head and sighed as he left, implying that students from Huangpu Military Academy were not all that impressive.
Exposing Wang Chong’s identity like this would surely spark a sensational uproar.
In the university town of Shanghai, the Huangpu Military Academy stood as a symbol of irony. Even East China Jiaotong University could at least be applied to normally, but the rules and regulations at Huangpu Military Academy were far more complicated.
If a "super Elite" from Huangpu Military Academy were frightened by a lighter, the news would likely reach the higher-ups of the school, leaving Wang Chong with an indelible stain on his reputation.
When Yu Yan inquired about the situation, Wang Chong showed no appreciation for her concern. Instead, he coldly replied, "If you hadn't stopped me, he wouldn't have had the chance to bring anything out! How dare he delete the photos! Damn it!"
As he spoke, his face twisted into a snarl, his teeth clenched in anger.
Hearing this, Yu Yan felt a chill run down her spine. She never expected him to turn his frustration toward her. Moreover, his prolonged silence wasn't due to worries about the school's issues but rather his fixation on the deleted photos?!
He had never been like this before!
Although he had been somewhat arrogant in the past, he still had redeeming qualities. It was shocking to see such a drastic change in him now.
With a slight sigh, Yu Yan decided it would be best to keep her distance from him in the future. Helping him might only lead to resentment, and she couldn't predict when she might stumble into trouble because of him.
"You're so slow! Didn't you just say you'd greet them and let them contact you?" Walking alongside Yang Xiaoyou, Liu Lianyue wore a friendly smile, but her words came out through gritted teeth. It was impressive that she could maintain such an expression while saying something like that.
"Who told me I have good connections? They wanted to chat with me; I couldn't just leave them hanging," Yang Xiaoyou replied with a hint of helplessness as they headed toward the commercial district of the university town.
"Good connections? With guys or girls?" Although Liu Lianyue still wore that innocent and charming expression, her tone gradually took on a strange edge.
This slightly odd tone left Yang Xiaoyou feeling speechless. It seemed that no matter whether it was guys or girls, misunderstandings were bound to happen. If she tried to explain... well...
Fortunately for Liu Lianyue, shifting topics was relatively easy. After revealing some information about mechas, she immediately captured Liu Lianyue's attention.
Even when she occasionally indulged herself, she merely cast a glance at her, constantly asking questions.
Initially, Yang Xiaoyou simply wanted to change the topic and introduce her upcoming life for a while.
At first, Yang Xiaoyou's plan was just to help her untangle the current chaotic situation, letting her roam free for a while before bringing her back when the time was right.
As for the mecha, that was merely a pretext to entice her.
Even if this Aspects was truly naive, it didn't matter; letting her touch the package was fine. To be honest, although Yang Xiaoyou wasn't a male chauvinist, having personally operated such things, he still felt a burden when it came to girls, especially those with striking figures.
However, based on his own experience of piloting and some characteristics he discovered during development, after chatting casually with her for a bit, he unexpectedly found that this lady had an astonishing level of insight in this Aspects.
Many things clicked for her instantly, and she could even provide some of her own understanding.
Although in Yang Xiaoyou's eyes, who was already one of the most experienced fellows globally, she still seemed somewhat immature, her way of thinking aligned remarkably well with the characteristics of the mecha.
It even gave Yang Xiaoyou an illusion that Liu Lianyue was born for mecha; in terms of pure mecha philosophy, she truly had talent.
Missed the bus and feeling tearful; my nasal allergy has flared up again—what a pain!
