Chapter 298: Chapter 298: It seems like I saw something not suitable for children

The next morning, Lin Lan appeared on time in front of Luo Ziling, who was waiting at the school gate.

After the flashy Hummer stopped, Lin Lan hopped down from the vehicle in her casual attire and Luo Ziling greeted her with a smile, saying, “Waiting to have breakfast with you.”

“I’m hungry,” Lin Lan took off her sunglasses from her nose, gave Luo Ziling a small smile, and then walked with him towards the snack shop.

Some curious students, after seeing such a beautiful woman get out of the military Hummer, couldn’t help but look over. Some even wanted to take photos with their phones. Intimidated by Lin Lan’s glare, they all scattered, and no one dared to come close to take photos or inquire out of curiosity.

Those with slightly more courage pretended to drop by the snack shop to buy steamed buns, but no one dared to sit down inside and have breakfast.

Lin Lan’s presence was indeed formidable; the scene of her beating people up had already shocked the whole of Yan University. Her image as a heroine had deeply impressed people’s hearts. This woman was fatally attractive to many men, but no one dared to get too close or even look her in the eye, mainly for fear of being beaten by her. A group of grown men had been brought to their knees by her, and several had been smashed through car windows by her – who would dare to provoke such a “brutal” woman?

Many envied and admired the young man sitting beside this woman, wearing big glasses that made it impossible to see clearly his face.

The man who dared to stay by such a woman’s side needed to have a very strong heart, and of course, a robust physique and the ability to take a beating—they all hoped Luo Ziling possessed these.

“It seems that many people are sneakily paying attention to you,” while sitting with Lin Lan eating wontons and steamed buns, Luo Ziling nodded towards the boys who were watching from a distance, “Your illustrious image has really taken hold in the hearts of Yan University’s male students. You must have become the goddess in many of their hearts.”

His comment was met with nothing but an annoyed glare from Lin Lan.

She even said irritably, “If you don’t say anything, no one would take you for a mute.”

“Sitting next to a beauty and staying quiet? That would spoil the scene,” said Luo Ziling with a shameless laugh.

After all, he had by now roughly figured out Lin Lan’s character. This woman was very intelligent, but a bit lacking in emotional intelligence, likely due to her living and working environment. But at heart, she was quite good, brimming with a sense of justice. Even when she was fierce towards him, it seemed to be just a front she put on.

In a word, this woman treated him quite well; therefore, he felt an air of fearless confidence around her.

Lin Lan just looked up at Luo Ziling and didn’t say much.

They finished breakfast quickly.

Luo Ziling was surprised by Lin Lan’s appetite.

This woman had eaten nearly three baskets of steamed buns and a large bowl of wontons.

Luo Ziling only ate a little more than two baskets of steamed buns and a bowl of wontons, and he was a big man.

If it were Yang Qingyin instead, it might take Lin Lan three meals to finish that amount. Of course, Luo Ziling didn’t think any less of Lin Lan for her appetite; for a soldier like her, undergoing intense training, it would be a frightening thing if she didn’t eat this much every meal.

On the way to the base, Lin Lan still didn’t initiate much conversation, but Luo Ziling ignored her cool demeanor and chatted casually with her.

As they talked, Luo Ziling suddenly asked, “When you’re serving in the military here, don’t your parents worry?”

“They are dead, I’m an orphan.” While saying this, Lin Lan still kept her eyes on the road ahead.

“Ah, sorry, I didn’t know about that,” Luo Ziling immediately felt awkward, “I didn’t expect you to be even more… more…”

He couldn’t finish the sentence.

Such a pitiful girl, and he had bullied her several times—Luo Ziling felt a bit cruel.

“It’s nothing, I was adopted from a young age, then sent to the military, where I’ve been ever since. The army is my family,” Lin Lan seldom took the initiative to say more, “I am living quite well now.”

“The people there, they’re actually pretty good,” Luo Ziling said sincerely, “even those few who fought with me, they’re pretty good too.”

Because Li Haiyang was willing to protect him, and Lin Lan had also helped him, therefore Luo Ziling’s fondness for the entire Dragon Rise increased a lot.

Lin Lan glanced at him sideways and didn’t say anything, but her eyes were still quite gentle.

It seems everyone likes to hear compliments—that’s what Luo Ziling thought after seeing that look in Lin Lan’s eyes.

When Luo Ziling followed Lin Lan to the Dragon Rise base, Li Haiyang was already waiting in his room.

During the treatment, Li Haiyang said to Luo Ziling in an indifferent tone, “Ziling, in two days I plan to visit the National Museum and the Military Museum. If you’re free, you can accompany me. They’re worried I might have trouble going out, so they won’t let me wander around.”

Luo Ziling agreed without hesitation, “Sure, I’ll definitely make time to go with you.”

Luo Ziling wasn’t stupid, and his thinking was quick. He immediately figured out that Li Haiyang’s kind invitation carried a special meaning. Many people would soon know about him accompanying Li Haiyang to various places, and more would understand that Li Haiyang was protecting him.

“Fools often have foolish luck,” after the treatment was finished and Li Haiyang had fallen asleep, Luo Ziling followed her out of the small building, and Lin Lan hummed discontentedly.

“What do you mean by that?” Luo Ziling, who was profusely sweating from the intensive treatment and tired, couldn’t hold back his agitation upon hearing Lin Lan’s remark, “Am I stupid? Where am I being stupid, tell me!”

Lin Lan said nothing, only pointing at her own head.

“So, it turns out you’re the foolish one,” Luo Ziling mocked Lin Lan, “Being foolish, you don’t need to point it out directly, afraid I wouldn’t know?”

Lin Lan got angry and stopped in her tracks to glare at Luo Ziling, “What did you say?”

“Sometimes you’re foolishly cute,” seeing Lin Lan’s expression, Luo Ziling couldn’t help wanting to laugh. He pinched her cheek at a speed she did not react to, “Silly girl, and quite pretty too.”

Lin Lan was stunned; she hadn’t expected Luo Ziling to be so bold as to pinch her face in broad daylight, so she didn’t react at first.

What was even more fatal was that Mountain Eagle, Falcon, and two other soldiers in training uniforms happened to walk by and saw Luo Ziling stretching his hand to pinch her cheek. She stood there frozen.

“Wow,” Falcon couldn’t help exclaiming, “I think I’ve seen something not suitable for children.”

Hearing Falcon shout that, Luo Ziling was instantly embarrassed.

Lin Lan’s slightly blushed face immediately turned cold; she glared at Luo Ziling angrily and then briskly walked towards Falcon.

Falcon was so scared that he turned tail and ran, shouting as he fled, “I didn’t see anything, I didn’t see anything, help…”

Seeing this scene, Luo Ziling laughed heartlessly.
