Chapter 6: Urgent Electric Shock

In the afternoon, the military training was divided into classes for individual drills.

This time, Bai Rourou didn’t dare act up.

That violent woman was standing right next to the squad, guarding with an ice-water towel, and holding a mini air-conditioning fan in her hand.

During the brief break after an hour of training, Cai Jinger went straight to Gong Nanxue to fawn over her.

Bai Rourou could only find a lonely corner to sit down, took off her hat to fan herself, not daring to get close.

The faint pain in her waist was still warning her.

“How am I supposed to do the task like this?”

Bai Rourou looked bitter.

They were just making things harder for her.

The phone battery was terrible and lagged, and with nothing fun to do, Bai Rourou pretended to space out, but actually opened the system panel, planning to play in the system shop.

“Eh, the hidden suffering progress bar actually increased a bit!”

Rourou was surprised.

So just getting bullied a little by Cai Jinger at noon was enough to raise it?

Although it hurt a bit, it was just for a moment.

Looking at it this way, the hidden progress bar she thought would be the hardest to complete might actually be easy.

“In that case, the appearance of the violent girl is actually making things easier for me!”

Bai Rourou decided to face the difficulty head-on.

She couldn’t just be killed for expressing some affection, right?

“Might as well settle on this infatuated character setting—loving the handsome Sister Nan deeply.”

She secretly glanced at Gong Nanxue with the corner of her eye.

Her wolfish hair was tied up into her hat, but that delicate face still radiated heroism—both beautiful and dashing.

If only she could grow up like this, she would surely attract many cute girls.

Bai Rourou thought to herself.

Her gaze drifted, landing on Cai Jinger, who was sitting a body’s width away from Gong Nanxue.

Although this violent girl was rough, Bai Rourou had to admit she was good-looking—a classic mature beauty, with a refined face and a clear sense of wealth in her attire.

“Violent girl is also a rich girl.”

As for Gong Nanxue, Bai Rourou hadn’t noticed anything special about her life these days, subconsciously treating Gong Nanxue as a child from an ordinary family.

Because Cai Jinger was there, Bai Rourou naturally didn’t want to ask for trouble.

After hastily finishing the afternoon’s turning drills, she went to the dormitory, took a quick shower, changed clothes, and rushed off to her part-time teaching job.

“Xuexue, let’s live off-campus.”

Cai Jinger coaxed.

“Look at how charming you are—within just a few days, your roommate’s heart has been stolen. Be careful of a night raid.”

Night raid?

Gong Nanxue, playing on her computer, raised her brows.

The image of Bai Rourou’s frail figure flashed through her mind.

With that build, would she even attempt a night raid?

She’d be afraid of breaking her with a slight movement.

“Cai Jinger, you’re overthinking it.”

Gong Nanxue still felt that the girl was quite pitiful—exhausted from military training and still working a part-time job.

“Don’t let teachers bully others. So what if someone has a little crush? It’s not like you or I lose anything. You know I won’t like girls anyway—don’t you trust me?”

She wrinkled her nose.

The mix of sweat and perfume from Cai Jinger was unpleasant.

She pushed Cai Jinger, who had come too close, away.

“Don’t get so close. Move back!”

“Fine.”

Cai Jinger helplessly scooted her chair away, feeling a bit dissatisfied with Bai Rourou in her heart.

In high school, other girls’ confessions never made Xuexue react, but Bai Rourou actually made Xuexue speak up for her.

“Strange, why does Bai Rourou smell a little fragrant?”

The sweat smell from Cai Jinger made Gong Nanxue think of the faint fragrance on Bai Rourou.

It was very light, but definitely there.

Most importantly, she didn’t detect any odor.

Maybe it was just a difference in physique.

The game match succeeded, and Gong Nanxue pushed the stray thoughts aside, focusing fully on the game.

“By the way, Xuexue, did your dad give you a financial company?”

The game character had died, so Gong Nanxue, now idle, looked at Cai Jinger.

“Yeah, but it’s still in the process of being transferred. It’ll be a few days.”

“Why? Do you want the company to practice with?”

“No, my dad wants to invest and help you manage it.”

“So he wants to buy in, then.”

Gong Nanxue wasn’t particularly interested, so she spoke casually.

“Fine, whatever. More money is always good for finance.”

“Mm, mm, mm!”

Cai Jinger nodded repeatedly, eyes full of happiness.

She knew Xuexue cared about her.

Being allowed to buy into a well-run financial company was a sure sign of goodwill!

“One day, she’ll agree to be with me!”

Cai Jinger thought sweetly to herself.

For the next week, Bai Rourou couldn’t find a good opportunity to complete the task.

Cai Jinger guarded her too tightly.

She couldn’t just fawn over someone in front of her, and if she tried, the violent girl would bully her, and Gong Nanxue probably wouldn’t accept her goodwill either.

But finally, during the second week of military training, Cai Jinger was absent!

Bai Rourou looked around, making sure Cai Jinger wasn’t in sight near the military training formation, then took the chance during a break to sneak over to Gong Nanxue.

“Sister Nan, why didn’t she come today?”

Gong Nanxue looked up, surprised at the girl in front of her.

She approached just because Cai Jinger was gone?

Did she like her that much?

“She had something to do.”

The girl made an “oh” sound, then sat down beside Gong Nanxue without another word.

Gong Nanxue naturally kept her distance from this girl who coveted her body, but that particularly pleasant fragrance wafted over again.

This time, Gong Nanxue couldn’t help herself.

She asked,

“Bai Rourou, where does the scent on you come from?”

“Scent? What scent?”

Bai Rourou raised her arm and sniffed it, confused.

“No scent.”

“How could there be no scent?”

Gong Nanxue grabbed the girl’s arm, brought it under her nose, and inhaled.

A faint, pleasant fragrance filled her lungs.

“There’s definitely a very nice smell!”

She blinked.

Why did Gong Nanxue suddenly look like those clingy girlfriends from her past life, desperate to sniff her?

Gong Nanxue snapped back to reality, suddenly realizing she was about to pull Bai Rourou into her arms and was still gripping her arm.

Was she turning into some sort of yuri pervert?

“Stay away from me.”

Gong Nanxue took a deep breath and pushed Bai Rourou away.

At that moment, a mechanical voice echoed in Bai Rourou’s mind.

[Task suffering progress has not increased for a long time. Urgent electric shock warning.]

Then a jolt of electricity shot through her entire body.

Her body stiffened and she collapsed powerlessly toward Gong Nanxue.

“What are you trying to do?”

Gong Nanxue didn’t react in time but still caught the girl, immediately angry at this shameless way of taking advantage.

But then she looked down and saw Bai Rourou’s eyes rolling back.

“Instructor! Someone’s got heatstroke!”
