Chapter 23: You Can’t Outrun Me, Believe Me?

But they never expected it.

Lin Jiaxin had actually switched the table back!

Even the gifts they gave her were placed in the common area.

They thought Lin Jiaxin was still angry. She didn’t want to accept their apology, but they were too embarrassed to apologize themselves.

So they could only silently start from other aspects, trying to be nicer to Lin Jiaxin.

For example…

When going to training together, they would intentionally wait for her to walk together.

Occasionally, when Lin Jiaxin talked to them, they would respond to her a bit.

They no longer ignored her like before.

They originally thought that their relationship with Lin Jiaxin would gradually improve like this.

In the end, they would surely become true good friends!

Until… one early morning…

…….

Lin Jiaxin suddenly realized.

As the military training workload progressed, many students in the same grade were almost exhausted and didn’t want to get up early for morning runs.

As for those senior students, male and female.

They, on the other hand, had to cultivate and study the techniques of their own majors.

They usually had no free time.

So lately on the sports field, there were only more people running at night.

And the senior students would go to morning classes or return to dorms after evening classes.

They would usually pass by the sports field…

So Lin Jiaxin seized this perfect opportunity!

Others: Too tired, can’t get up, simply don’t want to run in the morning.

And her: In front of a crowd of exhausted schoolmates, she still had plenty of energy, running alone in the morning… easy peasy!

So 😄…..

But… Lin Jiaxin forgot one thing.

During the day, when she had nothing to do, she would want to show off in front of her classmates.

To farm the increasingly scarce slivers of Manifestation True Qi.

Therefore, she would intentionally increase the training volume and add some extra movements.

For example, high knee running, excessive pull-ups, and the like…

Therefore, although her stamina was indeed better than others,

their overall consumption was actually about the same…

This led to Lin Jiaxin falling asleep as soon as she finished training every day.

The alarm she set in advance couldn’t wake her up at all the next morning!

Even though her phone was right by her pillow, ringing in her ear was useless.

Instead, only her three roommates were woken up by the alarm…

Every time, they had to suppress their morning crankiness.

After waking Lin Jiaxin up, they could finally turn off the alarm.

Don’t ask why they didn’t just turn off the phone.

Because Lin Jiaxin’s phone had an accidental touch prevention feature set.

Every time she put it by her pillow, it would trigger the anti-accidental-touch.

Without unlocking, the screen couldn’t be controlled, so naturally the alarm couldn’t be turned off!

This made the three roommates gradually realize afterwards.

Damn it!

You’re not telling me you knew the alarm wouldn’t wake you,

so you deliberately set it like this to make us unable to sleep and come wake your ass up, right?

(Lin Jiaxin: ‘I’m innocent! I really can’t wake up!’)

Once or twice was one thing.

But every day like this!

Every time they hinted to Lin Jiaxin about the alarm clock.

They were instead misunderstood by her as asking what she got up for.

For the chance to show off that came to her door,

Lin Jiaxin would even act like a proud lion, looking down on them, and pretend to be casual saying:

“Haha, the usual training volume is still too low for me… so I just add some extra training, haha. After all, I used to be a sports student, my physique is fundamentally different from yours…”

Classic question answered sideways.

At the end, she still didn’t forget to boost herself and step on them…

In the prolonged torment, Lin Jiaxin’s three roommates finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.

The little goodwill that Lin Jiaxin had managed to cultivate in their hearts quickly collapsed…

Then one morning, it completely exploded.

……

“Can’t hurt~ really can’t hurt~”

“……”

“………”

The three, once again woken up by Lin Jiaxin’s rustic ringtone alarm, couldn’t take it anymore this time.

They got up, exchanged glances, and then without hesitation woke Lin Jiaxin up together.

With gloomy faces, they watched her hang her head and turn off the alarm, then finally launched their attack.

Three people, each with a sentence.

Like a rapid fire, they released the pent-up resentment.

“Lin Jiaxin, do you know what time it is?”

Roommate Sister A took a deep breath, trying to keep her grievance-filled voice from trembling:

“5:40! You set your alarm for 5:40!”

“Have you ever woken up yourself? Huh? I ask you, have you ever woken up even once?!”

“Yeah, every time it’s you not waking up, us waking up!”

Roommate Sister B, arms crossed, with dark circles under her eyes, chimed in from the side:

“The three of us set our alarms for seven, but your alarm rings for ages without being turned off… Before seven, we’re all woken up by you!”

“I’m begging you, sis, tone it down, okay! Don’t torture everyone for nothing, alright!”

Roommate Sister C, from the northwest, looked at the previous two’s remarks, then put her hands on her hips and snorted:

“Same here!”

“Ah…”

Lin Jiaxin had just been woken up.

Not naturally awake, her head was still muddled.

With blurry eyes, yawning, she watched the three standing by her bed chattering a whole lot.

But she didn’t catch a single word of what the roommates said.

However, to show respect to her roommates,

she still tried to open her eyes wide and stare at them.

When talking to someone, you should look into their eyes, that’s how you appear polite!

But… Lin Jiaxin’s behavior appeared in the roommates’ eyes as a disdainful provocation.

It gave them the attitude of ‘You can say what you want, I’ll just treat you as a joke.’

“Lin Jiaxin!!!”

“Our attitude has been good enough, can you show some respect!”

Roommate Sister A punched the scratched desk, trying to suppress her anger:

“Training is already tiring enough, and you have to run early in the morning? Who are you running for? Are you out of your mind?”

‘What… running?’

Lin Jiaxin, catching the keyword, immediately lit up, and before her mind was clear, her mouth had already moved.

She suddenly tilted her head, pointed at Roommate Sister A, grinned, and then subconsciously hummed in a disdainful tone:

“I said… you can’t outrun me, believe me?”

Roommate Sister A: ….

Roommate Sister B: ……

Roommate Sister C: ………

“No! Who said anything about racing you!!!”

Roommate Sister A’s eyelid began twitching uncontrollably:

“No one is racing you! No!”

“You… can’t you go wash your face with cold water and wake up first!!!”

She clenched her fists, barely able to hold back her frenzy.

The rhythm she had painstakingly built up for so long was instantly ruined by Lin Jiaxin.

She really wanted to do like in high school,

if she didn’t like someone, just slap them across the face directly to Lin Jiaxin.

But… she couldn’t beat Lin Jiaxin…

Even the three of them combined probably couldn’t beat her.

After all, Lin Jiaxin was the first in the class,

and currently the only one who, before even starting theoretical classes, had successfully cultivated cultivation on her own.

Her stamina might be more than the three of them combined.

Not to mention that fighting privately could easily get school punishment.

If word got out that the three of them together couldn’t beat one person,

then they would likely become very famous…

‘Oh my, isn’t that so-and-so? Three against one and all got counter-killed…’
