Chapter 027: A Beautiful Misunderstanding
After a night of insomnia, the four roommates had poor spirits when they got up in the morning and t in the dining room, after a simple greeting, they each headed to their training departnts.
Lin Yuan walked into the training room, and Baker imdiately ca up to him and asked: "Squad Leader, you and Caesar went back early yesterday afternoon right? The instructor said you were not feeling well, what's wrong ah?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Bad headache, I asked Caesar to send ho early.”
Karl also walked up to Lin Yuan, smiled and asked: “Was everything okay yesterday?"
Lin Yuan shook his head, "It's nothing.”
Next, Bossa walked over to him and asked: "Squad Leader, are you feeling better?”
Lin Yuan said: "Much better, thank you.”
Standing close by, Caesar secretly clenched his teeth, Lin Yuan being on good terms with so many other people was not a bad thing, but when he saw so many people crowding around Lin Yuan, Caesar still felt an odd….. an odd sense of crisis!
No, Lin Yuan was really too popular, especially with the class' Beta, they all worshiped him, maybe soone had a crush on him! Those Beta girls always look at Lin Yuan with bright eyes, one must certainly be thinking of chasing Lin Yuan!
Thinking of this, Caesar imdiately moved closer to Lin Yuan and stood ram rod straight, with a cold face.
The class' Beta who wanted to get closer to the Squad Leader suddenly looked sowhat depressed - What's up with this Caesar guy? Standing next to the Squad Leader with a cold face, blocking everyone’s way, even glancing over the crowd with sharp eyes….. Do we owe you money?
Completely ignoring all the Beta inwardly cursing him, Caesar stood next to the Squad Leader, dutifully acting as his bodyguard.
In the eyes of outsiders, Caesar's behavior was just like a beast, swiping his tail and drawing a circle around his prey, penning it in….. Unfortunately, the circled prey was still ignorant, happily chatting with the hunter.
***
When the afternoon military training ended, Caesar temporally left his post for a mont. Seeing Caesar finally leaving, Karl took the initiative to invite Lin Yuan to supper, Lin Yuan happily nodded, and walked with Karl to the canteen.
They walked to the fifth floor, Lin Yuan, his eyes still shiny, filled a large plate and walked back to the table, eating with relish.
Karl looked at the Lin Yuan intently engrossed in eating, and couldn't help but ask: “Have you been feeling sick lately?"
Lin Yuan said: “Not really.”
Karl continued, "Was it really just a headache yesterday?”
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Ay, a terrible, sudden headache. Maybe I haven't been sleeping well.” Lin Yuan paused, and looked up at him sowhat doubtfully, "Why did you suddenly ask?"
Karl was silent for a mont, then he said: “Actually, Uncle Fornt contacted yesterday and told to pay attention to your physical condition. He said you have a special constitution, and he'd prescribed so dicine to help. Have you been eating it on ti?”
“Oh.” Lin Yuan smiled in realization, "Then help tell Dr. Fornt, I take the dicine on ti every day, and my physical condition has been very good, there's no problem, no need to worry."
Seeing Lin Yuan returning to his plate, Karl didn't question further.
To tell the truth, he originally tried to get closer to Lin Yuan because of his Uncle Fornt’s request.
When Fornt heard that he was admitted to San Romia Military Academy, he told him that a child from Rennes planet was also admitted to the school, his neighbors' child nad Lin Yuan, and asked Karl to take care of him.
At first, Karl approached Lin Yuan with the idea of "making friends with his uncle’s acquaintance”, but the longer he stayed with him, the more baffled he felt – Lin Yuan was excellent in all aspects, he didn't resemble a Beta from a normal family background, rather, he was like a child born from the finest Alpha and Oga combination.
In addition to his uncle's request to pay attention to Lin Yuan, especially Lin Yuan’s physical condition, almost every call from his uncle brought up the topic of Lin Yuan's body. Lin Yuan looked very healthy, he didn't seem to be seriously ill, why did his uncle always ask him if the other boy was feeling sick? And why did he ask him to not only keep Lin Yuan away from any Alpha, but also repeatedly urged him to remind Lin Yuan to take his dicine on ti?
What kind of disease needed dication every day? This was too bizarre, right?
Even more bizarre, every ti he saw Lin Yuan, Karl couldn't help but think of his younger brother – Karl’s brother was an Oga, unfortunately, he was sent to Cepheus' Oga academy when he was 13, and he hasn't seen him in four years. But he still vividly rembered his brother’s characteristics, after all, they grew up together.
Lin Yuan had many similar characteristics to his Oga brother, and sotis when he looked at Lin Yuan, Karl would even briefly feel that he was looking at an Oga. A lean body, flexible waist, long and straight legs….. Although he was still growing into his body, Lin Yuan's physique was really Oga-like.
Thinking of this, Karl smiled and said: “Lin Yuan, you actually remind of my brother. But my brother is an Oga."
Lin Yuan looked up at him, incredulous: “Hey, are you praising or insulting ? You're saying I look like an Oga, does that an I look too fragile? Co on, after dinner, we're going to spar!"
Karl: “…”
His expression didn't seem like he was worried, and eyes were also very calm, why didn't he look like soone whose secret had just been exposed?
Was it really his own misperception?
Lin Yuan finished eating, and Karl also put away his plate, then the two left the canteen.
Lin Yuan’s temperant was very resolute, when he said they would spar he ant it, on the journey to the dormitory, he straightforwardly dragged Karl to an uninhabited corner, and confrontationally beckoned him, “Co on ah, saying I look like an Oga, I'll show you how powerful I am!”
Karl: “…”
Because of a tentative comparison, he inexplicably provoked Lin Yuan’s fighting spirit, seeing Lin Yuan's energetic appearance, Karl didn't want to let him down, he smiled helplessly and said: “Fine, co on, stop on contact.”
They took off their heavy uniform coats and threw them aside, then began to seriously spar.
Lin Yuan’s movents were very agile, his hands and legs coordinating vigorously, the strength of his fists was not insignificant, after nearly having his knee kicked out, Karl imdiately beca more vigilant. He'd thought Lin Yuan was only playing around, he didn't expect him to actually attack seriously, and unexpectedly, his fighting level was actually not bad!
The two spared, Karl was an Alpha, he was naturally strong and robust, and he'd also received formal training, if he was fighting a regular Beta, they wouldn't be able to exchange ten blows with him. But Lin Yuan took an alternative route, in order to win by skill, his feet movents were extrely agile, and his hands were lightning fast.
Although Karl wasn't losing, he also couldn't gain an advantage!
He was clearly an Alpha, why couldn't he subdue a Beta?
Thinking of this, Karl no longer held back, he used his advantageous height and strength to directly seize Lin Yuan’s wrist, and forcedly twisted….. Lin Yuan’s arm was twisted to his back, and his right foot imdiately kicked back, but unexpectedly hit empty air. Karl had dodged his kick, simultaneously sweeping out his foot, tripping Lin Yuan to the ground!
Seeing Lin Yuan’s face about to hit the ground, Karl imdiately reached out to hold him up.
The result, Lin Yuan unexpectedly hadn't given up attacking Karl, when his right kick hadn't connected, he imdiately gave a follow up kick with his left foot. The kind-hearted Karl that had move forward to support Lin Yuan, was caught unprepared by this kick, his footing unstable, he directly fell on top of Lin Yuan’s body.
“…..” Lin Yuan was pressed to the ground, stifled by Karl's bulk, he couldn't help but grimace.
But before he could open his mouth, the weight was suddenly taken off him –
Caesar directly ca up behind Karl and lifted him up, Karl instantly looked back, puzzled, and received a sharp punch.
Bang!
Karl was beaten to the ground!
Caesar pulled up the shocked Lin Yuan and asked in a heavy voice: "Are you alright? Who's bullying you?”
Caesar clenched his fist and glanced at 'Lin Yuan's Bully' with cold eyes, but only saw the blaless Karl climbing up, clutching his black eye.
Caesar: “…”
Karl: “…”
After a long, stiff silence, Karl smiled gracefully, looked at Caesar and said: “Are you misunderstanding? I wasn't bulling Lin Yuan."
Lin Yuan also stared at Caesar, “What are you doing? I was sparing with Karl! Why did you suddenly jump in?"
Caesar: “…”
Lin Yuan walked around Caesar and went up to Karl, looking at Karl’s black eye, he suppressed himself for a while, but still couldn't help but laugh, “Cough, Caesar's punch is too heavy ….. You….. Are you alright?"
Karl smiled and rubbed his eye, "It's nothing.”
Caesar awkwardly apologized: “Sorry, I thought you were …..”
Karl shrugged, "Doesn't matter, it was just a misunderstanding.” Then he picked up his uniform coat, looked back at Lin Yuan and smiled, “Lin Yuan, I'll head back first. Rember to tell right away if you start feeling sick, this is uncle Fornt's special request."
Lin Yuan imdiately nodded and said: "Got it, don't worry!”
After Karl left, Lin Yuan walked back to Caesar and said: “Caesar, why did you hit so heavily? Fortunately, it was just Karl, if it was soone weaker, you could've ruined their eye."
– A black eye is still a light punishnt, if he was really bulling you, I'd knock him out!
– Even if it was just sparing, he shouldn't have pinned you to the ground, couldn't he have let you go after you admitted defeat?
Caesar coldly glanced at Karl’s retreating back, the looked back to Lin Yuan, noticing that his face was covering in dust, and there was even a scratch, Caesar couldn't help but feel distressed: "Your face, it's skinned …..”
Lin Yuan smiled, quickly wiped his face clean with the back of his hand, and said, "It's nothing, just a small scratch."
Seeing him unhard expect for the little scratch, Caesar finally cald down, then sullenly said: “Lin Yuan, you should stay away from that Karl."
Lin Yuan: “…..”
What's going on? Karl says stay away from Caesar, Caesar says stay away from Karl, just how much do these guys hate each other?
Lin Yuan found it ridiculous, he looked at Caesar and said: “You needed for sothing?"
Caesar's expression eased a bit, "You forgot that we agreed to train with the cha today."
Lin Yuan's eyes brightened, “Right, I almost forgot! Co let's go!"
Lin Yuan picked up his discarded uniform coat and turned toward the ch center, but Caesar suddenly grabbed his hand, "We're not going to the ch center, there's too many people, we'll head to a private training room."
“Oh!” Imrsed in his excitent of personally eting a ch, Lin Yuan didn't notice…..
Caesar was still holding onto his hand.
Caesar was holding Lin Yuan’s hand, contentedly thinking in his heart, this was what it felt like to like soone, right?
He gently gripped the other boy's slender fingers, the warmth passing through his skin was slowly soaking into the bottom of his heart.
Holding hands and walking down the campus road, it felt like even his heartbeat was suddenly speeding up. Caesar wished this section of road could stretch on for more than a dozen kiloters, they could slowly go on, walking forever.
In reality, it didn't even take half a minute to arrive…..
Why was the school so small?
***
White Feather was very depressed, very very depressed.
Its Master actually made it, a magnificent S-Class intelligent cha, disguise itself as a C-Class cha, to help soone else train.
……Train?
What a joke! If the other cha learned that it disguised itself as C-Class to help soone with basic training, they would die laughing!
But its Master threatened, if it didn't change into a C-Class, he'd have Brian dismantle its nurous systems, artificially downgrading it to C-Class. That's right, S-Class were the only chs that could morph, all the ch's joints could be independently adjusted and changed.
So White Feather had to endure his desire to vomit blood and temporarily disguise itself as a C-Class ch.
It not only had to hide all the nerve connections in its cockpit, but also turn its console into an ordinary C-Class ch controller, shrink itself by five tis, and silently hang itself in an empty room in the first school building, thinking about it, it felt so stupid!
The empty room White Feather was in wasn't just any ch training room, it was a dedicated training room for the students participating in the competition, the space was very wide open. The reason Caesar had imdiately left after the military training ended was to sign up for the month away cha competition, and conveniently lease this unused training room.
When Lin Yuan walked into the training room, he saw a ten-ter-high man-model ch standing in the middle of the room.
The ch's entire body was snow white, glowing with a faint tallic sheen under the light. Its chest cockpit was layered with thick protective armor, like fine-tuned muscles, its face, sharp like tal-wire, resembled a handso warrior!
Its body proportions were very coordinated, the ten ter high man-model ch didn't look even slightly bloated, its limbs and joints were also structured very finely, it was obvious, when it moved, it would be very agile!
The pure white ch standing under the light indeed looked extrely beautiful!
Lin looked up at it, and couldn't help but admire: “This is your ch? It's really beautiful ah!"
White Feather: “…”
Hey? It’s the Prince Consort! He praised !
Its depressed mood imdiately swept away, White Feather felt ecstatic, it eagerly bent down, offering a large palm to Lin Yuan, like a gentleman inviting a partner to dance at a ball.
Lin Yuan froze for a mont, stunned, but Caesar just smiled and said: “Go on, it's inviting you into its cockpit."
“Oh!” There's actually a ch that can invite a driver in this way! Lin Yuan excitedly followed Caesar onto the palm, and White Feather steadily lifted the two people into its cockpit.
In the spacious cockpit, the familiar 26 C-Class ch controller buttons, plus the 0-9, ten digit keys were neatly arranged on the steering platform. Each button looked new, as if they had never been touched, even the balance pole was smooth as ever.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the clean steering platform, he asked curiously: “This ch is new? What's its na?"
Caesar said: “It's called White Feather.”
Lin Yuan smiled and said: “White Feather, as in a white feather? That's nice, did you na it yourself?”
Caesar nodded: "I did.”
He praised ! He praised again! He not only called beautiful, he also praised my na!
White Feather almost wanted to roll around on the ground in happiness, it instantly ignored his Royal Highness the Prince’s "You're not allowed to project your image out and scare him” command, and projected itself as a primitive, small, virtual white feather, drifting to Lin Yuan's side. It floated around his body and said: “Hi, my na is White Feather!”
Lin Yuan saw White Feather floating in front of him, and couldn't help but smile and say: “Hi, my na is Lin Yuan."
White Feather directly floated up and landed on top of Lin Yuan's shoulder, then excitedly said: “From now on, you can borrow any ti you want! It's okay, you can do whatever you want in my cockpit! If you have any questions, you can ask ." Then it lowered its sound, and leaned into Lin Yuan's ear, "Of course, that includes any gossip about my Master!"
Lin Yuan asked in amusent: "You know gossip about your Master?”
White Feather fluttered proudly: “I've been with him since he was tiny! I know everything about him! I have thousands of photos of him as a kid, do you want to see?”
Lin Yuan curiously said: “Okay, I'll take a look.”
White Feather imdiately began searching for the photos in its data storage center, "Hold on, I'll bring out a few for you to see. Okkaaay….. here, this is from when he was three years old, very fat right? Look at him, he's a atball! This is his first day of school when he was five, still very fat, he really ate too much when he was a child!"
Caesar: “………………”
Caesar: White Feather, are you tired of living?
White Feather: But Master, I'm obviously helping you win favor with him ah? Don't you like him? If he looks at your childhood photos, and thinks that you were very cute, it'll certainly add extra points to his impression of you!
Caesar: …
Are you sure it’s extra points, and not minus points?
Caesar glanced at his chubby childhood photos, then silently turned away.
Thus, after Hobby began to earnestly carry out the mission of selling his master, White Feather also embarked on the brilliant path of "Selling Master”, going farther and farther, unable to turn back.
