Shi Jin didn\u2019t need to bring much luggage to the police academy because the school supplied all the necessities. As such, his packing consisted of putting the necessary documents and some personal belongings into a small backpack, and he was basically ready.<\/span><\/p>

After dinner, Lian Jun did not go to the study but went with Shi Jin back to their room to play mahjong.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNot being able to play this for the next two months will be hard to endure,\u201d Shi Jin sighed and shook his head, looking very sad at the thought of being deprived of his favorite pastime.<\/span><\/p>

Lian Jun\u2019s hand paused. He cast a sideways glance at Shi Jin, then his thin lips twitched and he changed his move, pulling out a different tile than he\u2019d planned a second before. Shi Jin immediately howled in despair. \u201cWhy did you play this tile? Now we\u2019re finished!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lian Jun\u2019s face remained expressionless as if he didn\u2019t hear his howl.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAh, whatever. We\u2019re certain to lose now, so let the system take care of the rest.\u201d Sulking, Shi Jin turned on auto-play, then put the tablet aside and turned towards Lian Jun. He put his head in the gap under Lian Jun\u2019s raised arm to lie on his lap and looked up with a smile. \u201cDarling, let\u2019s go wash and sleep?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lian Jun glanced down at him, still looking indifferent.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin moved closer to him and whispered, \u201cWant to wash together?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lian Jun lowered his head and fixed the younger man with a gaze for a few seconds. All of a sudden, he threw the tablet away, grabbed his face, and kissed him.<\/span><\/p>

Satisfied to have teased his lover successfully, Shi Jin shut Xiao Si into the small black room ahead of time, pulled Lian Jun up, and tugged him towards the bathroom as they kissed.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The school Shi Jin applied to was in the university town of B city, only about an hour\u2019s drive from the club, so it was relatively close. However, the military training of the police academy students wasn\u2019t held in the school but in an army base, making it pretty much impossible for Shi Jin to come back during the two months it took place. Obviously, Lian Jun would be unable to visit him as well.<\/span><\/p>

To make matters worse, no one from the club could accompany Shi Jin to report in school. After all, which country\u2019s authorities would let people known to be members of the underworld openly enter the place where regular military personnel were trained? Even Lian Jun wasn\u2019t allowed\u2014or, perhaps, <\/span>especially<\/em> <\/span>Lian Jun. The relationship between Annihilation and the government seemed to be one of cooperation, but in fact, they were wary of each other. It was fine for Lian Jun to quietly help Shi Jin enter the police academy, but he couldn\u2019t so overtly step over the government\u2019s \u201cpower reserve\u201d line\u2014doing so would send out a bad signal, affecting the situation between both sides.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThere are too many people keeping an eye on me in B city. Since it\u2019s possible to be discovered, just in case, I must try to avoid sending messages like, \u2018the leader of Annihilation can freely enter a police academy\u2019,\u201d Lian Jun explained, putting some cash and high-calorie snacks in Shi Jin\u2019s backpack. \u201cSo, this time, I can only send you to the university town. I can\u2019t accompany you to the school itself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin saw the low mood his lover hid under the pretense of calmness. He leaned down and kissed him, saying, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter, I can go to school by myself. I\u2019ll call you when I go in and keep the call going so I can give you a live broadcast.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lian Jun looked up at him. No longer hiding his reluctance to part, he reached out to caress the teenager\u2019s cheek. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to livestream for me; instead, you should pay attention to your own matters at that time. I asked someone else to send you to school\u2014other students will be accompanied by family members, and so should you. When Gua One and the others went to school, I also arranged for Mr. Feng to go with them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cOkay, I\u2019ll follow your arrangements.\u201d Shi Jin held his hand and kissed him, then stretched his arms to hug him.<\/span><\/p>

Lian Jun returned the hug, stroking his back. He closed his eyes and sighed softly\u2014as the older one, it was he who was supposed to comfort Shi Jin, who was leaving home, but it turned into Shi Jin comforting him. He really was an incompetent boyfriend.<\/span><\/p>

But he really couldn\u2019t bear it. The longer their time together, the more reluctant he was to be separated from this person.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After lunch, Shi Jin said goodbye to Gua Three and the others. Accompanied by Lian Jun, Gua One, and Gua Two, he headed for the university town.<\/span><\/p>

After getting in the car, Lian Jun calmed down and stopped saying the \u201cthings to remember in school\u201d that he\u2019d repeated many times already. Instead, he just held Shi Jin\u2019s hand, stroking it carefully, as if he wanted to engrave in memory its feeling and temperature.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSince you\u2019re coming to the university town anyway, why don\u2019t you go to the clinic for a physical examination?\u201d Shi Jin suggested, changing the subject.<\/span><\/p>

After coming back from the resort, Lian Jun\u2019s progress bar had dropped a few more points\u2014it was now 493, and all signs pointed to it reaching 490 soon. Shi Jin hoped Lian Jun would have a comprehensive physical examination; after comparing it with the results of the last one, he\u2019d be able to assess the progress bar\u2019s drop rate. With that, he\u2019d be able to roughly estimate when Lian Jun could start proper treatment.<\/span><\/p>

Gua One, who was driving, glanced at Lian Jun in the rearview mirror. \u201cJun-shao, should I call Uncle Long now?\u201d he asked, tacitly showing support for Shi Jin\u2019s suggestion.<\/span><\/p>

Gua Two, in the passenger seat, had already taken out his phone, looking ready to dial up the moment Lian Jun agreed.<\/span><\/p>

Lian Jun wasn\u2019t too keen on having a check-up at such a time, but seeing Shi Jin\u2019s hopeful expression and thinking it was the young man\u2019s last request before parting, he nodded anyway. \u201cAlright, then I\u2019ll go for a check-up on my way back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cGreat!\u201d Shi Jin expressed his happiness with a very straightforward kiss then leaned against him.<\/span><\/p>

Lian Jun hugged him and kissed him on the ear, suppressing his reluctance to part.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Uncle Long didn\u2019t waste time\u2014Lian Jun and the others\u2019 car had just arrived at the clinic when Uncle Long\u2019s car whooshed in and stopped behind them. Gua Three, a resigned expression on his face, got out of the driver\u2019s seat. \u201cDon\u2019t look at me like this,\u201d he said to Gua Two, who was watching him with raised eyebrows. \u201cI\u2019m sure I\u2019ll get fined for speeding, so remember to tell the support staff to take care of my ticket.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gua Two laughed at him mercilessly.<\/span><\/p>

After they entered the building, Uncle Long took his staff to prepare the medical devices and other things for Lian Jun\u2019s check-up, leaving the others waiting in the lounge area in the lobby on the first floor. Shi Jin glanced at the time. As he was calculating how much longer he could stay with Lian Jun, he saw someone unexpected walking through the clinic\u2019s entrance.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cFifth Brother?\u201d He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After confirming that the person who just arrived really was Li Jiuzheng, he snapped his head to look at Lian Jun.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI asked him to come.\u201d Lian Jun had never stopped paying attention to Shi Jin; seeing him look over, he immediately moved his wheelchair closer and explained, \u201cHe\u2019s very familiar with the university town and his background is completely clean, which makes him the most appropriate person to accompany you to school. I\u2019m sorry for acting on my own without asking your opinion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lian Jun saying, \u201c<\/em><\/span>Other students will be accompanied by family members, and so should you,\u201d <\/span><\/em>flashed in Shi Jin\u2019s mind. His heart flooded with warmth, and he shook his head to show it was fine. He knew that his lover had made these arrangements out of concern for him.<\/span><\/p>

In the meantime, Li Jiuzheng had spotted them and came over, stopping in front of Shi Jin. \u201cXiao Jin, I\u2019m here to take you to school,\u201d he took the initiative to speak first, displaying what for him could be called a brilliant smile. That smile brightened his face, transforming the melancholy air that he seemed to always give off because of his inborn appearance into appealing gentleness.<\/span><\/p>

He changed so much that Shi Jin was stunned for a moment. Only after a few seconds did he react and raise a hand to greet him.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou should go report to school now,\u201d Lian Jun said, suppressing his reluctance yet again. \u201cIt will take a while to deal with the formalities and get you settled in, and you shouldn\u2019t stay up late tonight so as to not impair the physical check and fitness test tomorrow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin turned his head to look at him. Seeing that his lover was forcing himself to bear it, he leaned down and hugged him. He whispered something into his ear, then stood up straight, waved farewell to the others, and motioned to Li Jiuzheng as he headed to the exit.<\/span><\/p>

Li Jiuzheng hurriedly nodded his greetings to the others and turned to follow him.<\/span><\/p>

Watching Shi Jin\u2019s back disappear through the door, Lian Jun rubbed his ear, which had been tickled by his lover\u2019s breath. Despite his low mood, he couldn\u2019t help but chuckle\u2014even at such a moment, Shi Jin still made mischief. Just now, the younger man said that Lian Jun should hurry up and get well so they could finally go to the last step after he got back from the military training.<\/span><\/p>

But soon, his smile slowly faded. He lowered his head and adjusted his emotions; his face a mask of calmness again, he gestured for Gua One to push him to the examination room.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Although the police academy was not far from the clinic as the crow flies, the actual distance was much further as one had to bypass several schools, so going there on foot would be unreasonable. As such, Li Jiuzheng led Shi Jin to pass through the side door connecting the clinic and the medical university, and then took him to his car.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThis is your new car?\u201d Shi Jin looked at the extremely eye-catching, bright red sports car in front of him and felt his stomach hurt. Li Jiuzheng usually dressed in a low-key style, so how come his car was so…<\/span><\/p>

Li Jiuzheng saw that his expression was not right. The hand holding the keys stiffening, he said, \u201cYou don\u2019t like it? This\u2026 this is my second elder apprentice brother\u2019s car, he says that\u2019s what young people like nowadays.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Your second elder apprentice brother lied to you! Yeah, some young people like such cars, but only those who love to show off!<\/span><\/em><\/p>

Shi Jin couldn\u2019t bear to hurt his brother\u2019s fragile adolescent heart. He suppressed the desire to tell the truth, instead forcing himself to admire, \u201cNo, this car is very nice. Just look at this streamlined body\u2026\u201d One could tell at a glance it was expensive!<\/span><\/p>

Seeing through his perfunctory praise, Li Jiuzheng silently stuffed the car keys into his pocket, a dejected expression in his downcast eyes.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin\uff1a\u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d Now he had a heavy suspicion that Li Jiuzheng went out of his way to borrow this car in order to take him to school.<\/span><\/p>

He hurriedly praised it again, opened the door, and sat in the passenger seat, urging Li Jiuzheng to drive.<\/span><\/p>

Li Jiuzheng took a look at him and got in. After starting the car, he emphasized, \u201cThis is really my second elder apprentice brother\u2019s car.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYeah, I understand. Your senior brother has a good taste,\u201d Shi Jin agreed feebly.<\/span><\/p>

The flashy red sports car stopped in front of the stately police academy, the loud roar of its engine attracting everyone\u2019s attention.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin sat in the car, watching the senior students in police uniforms receiving freshmen at the school gate look over, and the freshmen and their parents look over, and felt his scalp tingle\u2026 He stifled the urge to cover his face\u2014his fifth brother\u2019s love was really heavy.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe arrived too quickly.\u201d Li Jiuzheng got out of the car and frowned as he looked at the academy\u2019s front gate. \u201cIt\u2019s rather plain, isn\u2019t it? It doesn\u2019t look as good as XX University\u2019s front gate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin had just opened the door and got his feet out, but his brother\u2019s remark almost made him shut himself back in the car. He rushed out and grabbed Li Jiuzheng\u2019s shoulder, hissing, \u201cPlease stop trying to make everyone hate me, okay?! All the seniors have looked over, don\u2019t you see the daggers in their eyes?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

After saying this, he looked at the gate of the school and raised his voice, praising, \u201cI really like this gate. It\u2019s dignified and gives off an air of history\u2014it really fits this long-established, reputable police academy!\u201d Then he glared at Li Jiuzheng, his gaze telling his brother to shut up!<\/span><\/p>

Li Jiuzheng pulled his lips, coldly looking at the police academy seniors. \u201cAre you afraid they will bully you?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Please, just stop talking!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Shi Jin was about to try to remedy the damage again when a familiar voice suddenly came from a black business car that stopped nearby.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cFifth! I knew you were lying to me!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

This voice<\/span><\/em>\u2026<\/em> His heart skipping a beat, Shi Jin looked in the direction of the sound.<\/span><\/p>

Rong Zhouzhong, wearing a hat and mask, got out of the MPV and stomped over. He stopped in front of them, looked at the sports car, and sneered, \u201cFifth, this is the school enrollment gift you\u2019re giving the little bastard? What\u2019s with this color\u2014do you think he\u2019s a girl?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Oi, you\u2019re being sexist! Can\u2019t boys drive red cars? Some of the students\u2019 parents drove red cars, and they\u2019re glaring at you! And with you covering yourself up so tightly in the summer, you look damn suspicious, you know?!<\/span><\/em><\/p>

Wait, never mind that\u2014this is a school enrollment gift? Isn\u2019t this car borrowed?<\/span><\/em><\/p>

Shi Jin glanced at Li Jiuzheng in surprise.<\/span><\/p>

A murderous expression appeared in Li Jiuzheng\u2019s eyes, instantly turning the harmless, melancholy beauty into a cold-blooded doctor that was not to be provoked. \u201cThird Brother, do you want me to call out your name here?\u201d he asked, looking at Rong Zhouzhong icily.<\/span><\/p>

Rong Zhouzhong\u2019s expression froze. He glared at him, then ignored him and turned to Shi Jin. \u201cIt\u2019s hot outside, let\u2019s go in! Hurry up, I don\u2019t have much time to waste here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin said considerately, \u201cThird Brother, you can go back if you\u2019re busy, I\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Rong Zhouzhong visibly stiffened for a second, then he quickly interrupted Shi Jin\u2019s words. \u201cI\u2019m not busy,\u201d he said testily. \u201cI specially cleared my schedule today. Just now, that was\u2026 Ignore that, okay? I just can\u2019t speak in a nice way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin looked at Rong Zhouzhong\u2019s awkward appearance as his brother tried to explain, and recalled the cautious, careful text messages he sent during this period of time. His heart softening, he let out a quiet sigh and patted Li Jiuzheng and Rong Zhouzhong on the back. \u201cAll right, anyway, thank you both for coming. Now, let\u2019s go inside\u2014it\u2019s indeed silly to talk while standing in front of the gate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Feeling the pat, Li Jiuzheng and Rong Zhouzhong froze; they were obviously not used to being treated so intimately. A moment later, they relaxed, exchanged glances, and tacitly restrained their tempers, then obediently followed Shi Jin and stepped through the gate.<\/span><\/p>

The three of them headed toward the school building\u2014two handsome men walking in the front, with another man with a fashion model-like figure and a mask covering his face bringing up the rear. Suffice to say, they looked completely incompatible with the police academy.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAre they really students here?\u201d some freshmen and parents wondered, confused. They repeatedly checked the name at the front gate, confirming that it was really the entrance to a police school, not a film and television school.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIsn\u2019t this great?\u201d a female student who was infatuated with good-looking guys<\/a> asked, holding her blushing face. \u201cAh, this is heaven\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When going through the admission procedures, Shi Jin found that the two \u201cguardians\u201d that accompanied him were nothing but ornaments. No, in fact, they were much worse\u2014they were hindrances actively causing trouble.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhat? Personal clothes are not allowed? You are not allowed to dye your hair or wear jewelry, and you have to report in advance if you want to leave school on weekends?\u201d Rong Zhouzhong exclaimed in disbelief as he browsed through the student handbook.<\/span><\/p>

Li Jiuzheng looked around Shi Jin\u2019s dorm room, eyebrows knitted. \u201cA six-person room without a separate toilet, shared bathroom, and the bedding and towels are all issued by the school\u2026 Xiao Jin, I have a house in the university town, a duplex. It should be enough for you to live in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThank you, but living in the dorm is compulsory, commuting is not allowed,\u201d Shi Jin said despondently, wishing he could erase the past hour out of history. Faced with the strange glances of the other students living in the same dormitory and their parents, he deeply understood one thing: his brothers were actually <\/span>all<\/span><\/em> problem children.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Weichong and Fei Yujing were older, so the \u201cproblem\u201d was less obvious. Xiang Aoting\u2019s temperament was steady by nature and his time in the military polished him further, which was why he appeared the most normal among the brothers. Rong Zhouzhong and Li Jiuzheng, however\u2026 One was a second-generation celebrity who had lived in the glitzy and decadent world of show business since birth, and the other was a young genius who\u2019d been mentally abused by his mother since childhood. These two had never experienced the life of ordinary people, and their traits of problem children were retained in full!<\/span><\/p>

If it was any of the other three brothers, they\u2019d probably do their best to fulfill their responsibility as a \u201cguardian\u201d, helping Shi Jin to deal with the formalities and greeting his roommates and their parents, trying to establish a good relationship with them. Unfortunately, the ones accompanying Shi Jin today were Rong Zhouzhong and Li Jiuzheng, who, to a certain degree, were self-centered and tended to treat other people as if they didn\u2019t exist. Expecting them to act like proper guardians? No way, impossible, you\u2019d better not hold your breath while waiting for it or you\u2019ll suffocate.<\/span><\/p>

Now, everyone probably thought he was a rich young master who couldn\u2019t bear a little bit of hardship.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cUm, my name is Shi Jin, and these two are my brothers. It\u2019s just that they don\u2019t know anything about the police academy, so they\u2019re a little surprised\u2026\u201d Shi Jin attempted to redeem himself in the eyes of his roommates.<\/span><\/p>

The roommates glanced at the designer clothes on his body and the diamond ring on his hand, then at Rong Zhouzhong\u2019s outfit from a certain luxury brand and diamond studs in his ears, and at the diamond watch on Li Jiuzheng\u2019s wrist and the famous brand bag slung across his back, and let out an indifferent, \u201cOh.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin: \u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d How come it felt like everyone\u2019s attitude became worse than before?<\/span><\/p>

After all the formalities had been dealt with and the whole ordeal finally ended, Shi Jin rushed Rong Zhouzhong and Li Jiuzheng out of the school. He firmly refused Li Jiuzheng\u2019s keys for the sports car and Rong Zhouzhong\u2019s \u201cpocket money\u201d, stuffed them into their vehicles, and sent them away.<\/span><\/p>

Alone at last, and peace and quiet restored, Shi Jin let out a calming breath and called Lian Jun. After learning that he was undergoing the last check, he hung up and went back to his dorm room to try to chat with his roommates and undo the damage.<\/span><\/p>

In the end, they were all young adults. Although the first impression they had of Shi Jin was the negative image of a \u201cyoung master\u201d, once they had more contact with him, they soon discovered that Shi Jin actually had a very good personality and no young master\u2019s temper. As such, Shi Jin\u2019s relationship with everyone quickly improved and they were soon on friendly terms.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin was relieved and invited his roommates for dinner.<\/span><\/p>

After dinner, the results for Lian Jun\u2019s check-up were released, and they were very good. Pleased, Uncle Long announced that if the current rate of progress was maintained, it would only be four more months before Lian Jun could attempt to undergo treatment, which was two months less than the previously predicted half a year.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin was overjoyed and rushed to do some calculations. Finally, he came to the conclusion: according to the most conservative estimate, Lian Jun should be able to start the proper treatment when his progress bar dropped to about 430.<\/span><\/p>

430<\/span><\/em>\u2026<\/em> After washing, Shi Jin lay on the bed looking at the progress bar belonging to Lian Jun in his mind, and slowly closed his eyes.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The next day, the freshmen were divided into classes and arranged into squads according to the class, then were taken to the infirmary for a physical examination. Once everyone was gathered together, Shi Jin\u2019s outstanding appearance and more mature temperament than his peers caused him to be immediately recognized, and to Shi Jin\u2019s dismay, the nickname \u201cYoung Master Sports Car\u201d spread around in an instant.<\/span><\/p>

He didn\u2019t expect things to turn out this way\u2014now, even if he tried to explain the misunderstanding, he wouldn\u2019t be able to.<\/span><\/p>

The morning after the physical examination, Shi Jin along with the rest of the freshmen got in the buses arranged by the military command and headed for the base where the military training was going to be held. This was so similar to what he\u2019d experienced in his last life that he got confused; he kept having the illusion that he\u2019d gone through time and space, returning from the world of Lian Jun to his own world.<\/span><\/p>

He\u2019d fall in a daze for a moment, then abruptly return to his senses and immediately look at the students surrounding him, only relaxing a little after making sure that there were no familiar faces around.<\/span><\/p>

All his belongings which could prove Lian Jun\u2019s existence were left behind in the dorm room. He touched his empty ring finger, then belatedly remembered that there was still Xiao Si in his mind, and frantically poked at the system, rushing to talk with it.<\/span><\/p>

Xiao Si, delighted and flattered by the sudden interest of his host, responded immediately and chatted with him with enthusiasm all the way to the barracks.<\/span><\/p>

Once they arrived, Shi Jin got out of the bus and followed the crowd. Because of the low mood, he kept his head down and didn\u2019t look around with curiosity as other students did.<\/span><\/p>

They assembled in the field at the center of the camp. Soon, the base commander and the head instructor in charge of the military training arrived, standing in front of the students to give a speech.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin sensed somebody\u2019s gaze. Frowning, he looked up, then met a pair of familiar sharp eyes and gasped in shock. \u201cFourth Brother?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWho is talking?\u201d The instructor near their class immediately looked over.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin promptly raised his hand and apologized with embarrassment, then looked at Xiang Aoting, who was standing next to the base commander. Seeing that his brother was wearing the Ground Force<\/a> uniform, he felt that the world became crazy.<\/span><\/p>

What was going on? How could Xiang Aoting, a member of the Air Force, suddenly appear in a Ground Force base near B city? Did he fall for some kind of prank or something?<\/span><\/p>

As if aware of his doubts, Xiang Aoting abruptly stepped forward and headed his way.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin\u2019s eyes widened, and he slightly shook his head, urging him to stop with his eyes. He didn\u2019t dare to look at his classmates\u2019 expressions\u2014just now, he had called out \u201cFourth Brother\u201d loud enough that those near him had definitely heard it. <\/span>Aaah<\/span><\/em>, he was done for; another stigma was going to be added to his reputation of a young master.<\/span><\/p>

However, all his attempts to stop his brother failed\u2014he had still come over. Xiang Aoting stopped in front of the class and looked at the instructor standing closest to it. \u201cWhich student is the one that just spoke?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The instructor glanced at the insignia on his shoulder loops and gave a salute, then turned to call Shi Jin out of the ranks.<\/span><\/p>

Feeling that the whole world was against him these days, Shi Jin came forward, stopping in front of Xiang Aoting.<\/span><\/p>

Xiang Aoting looked down at him, pointed to the corner of the field, and said, \u201cGo there and stand at attention<\/a> for half an hour.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Oh, it turned out he came over for this.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin heaved a sigh of relief. Not daring to look directly at his brother\u2019s face, he responded with a meek, \u201cYes, sir,\u201d and obediently walked towards the corner.<\/span><\/p>

Xiang Aoting followed behind him as if planning to \u201ceducate\u201d him further.<\/span><\/p>

As Shi Jin\u2019s classmates watched him walk away, their expressions changed from suspicion to pity. Earlier, they thought that their class\u2019s rumored rich young master spoke out because he saw an acquaintance, but now it seemed it was rather an enemy since right off the bat, he was punished by standing at attention in full sun during such a hot day. This was going to be a torture for a pampered young master, right? Moreover, this instructor looked so fierce\u2026 Yeah, the young master was probably done for.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I’m alive! \uff08\u3003\uff40 3\u2032\u3003\uff09 Sorry for going missing for a while, real life happened.<\/p>

I’ll make up for the chapters I missed by doing a double update when there’s a particularly annoying cliffhanger (at least that’s the plan). It probably won’t be this month though. \ud83d\udca6<\/p>

On another note, the brothers are getting more screen time!
