Mu Donglin went to the washroom to refresh himself. Just as he was about to leave, Mu Xichen walked in.
Mu Donglin caught sight of the ring on the man’s finger.
It was simple and didn’t have any distinctive features. It suited Mu Xichen’s taste, being the sort of straight man he was.
Mu Donglin chortled mildly, “Married?”
In the past, Mu Xichen would have ignored him and walked right past.
However, perhaps because he was amused by Mu Donglin, a smile flashed across his calm face. He raised his hand to look at the ring and happily made a subtle humph.
Mu Donglin’s face darkened.
Just as Mu Xichen was about to walk past him, a hand shot out and stopped him.
Mu Donglin looked hostile. “With whom?”
Mu Xichen was not annoyed. He said in a melodious voice, “I’ve only ever had one woman.”
Without a doubt, it was Li Beinian!
“Impossible!” Mu Donglin immediately retorted. “She wouldn’t have agreed!”
Hearing this, Mu Xichen smiled and said unhurriedly, “You haven’t changed your bad habit of judging others.”
Pushing Mu Donglin’s hand aside, Mu Xichen walked past, gracefully brushing shoulders as he left the man standing stunned on the spot.
It was raining today.
The weather was cold to begin with, now the rain made the surroundings wet.
Li Beinian, who was usually the earliest riser, couldn’t help but curl up under the blanket, not wishing to get out of bed.
The half awake Liu Wei shouted in a daze, “Beinian, are you awake?”
“It’s too cold, I don’t want to get up!”
“Hmmm…” Liu Wei shivered as well. “Me too.”
“It’s raining so heavily outside. Are we still going to practice fighting today?” Guan Yueyun couldn’t recall and her voice was groggy. “There’s even thunder. We’d be frozen to death.”
“Achoo!” Zhao You’er had caught a cold.
Wang Shao laughed. “You’er, you’re so weak.”
Zhao You’er rubbed her nose. “Rhinitis. Rhinitis.”
Li Xueqing was still fast asleep.
After a moment, Li Beinian asked, “Are we getting up?”
“No!” Wang Shao wailed.
“Lie down a little longer, then,” Guan Yueyun suggested.
“Achoo!”
Li Xueqing’s rhythmic breathing could be heard as she continued to sleep. Liu Wei pulled her blanket up and dozed off again.
Li Beinian slept for another ten minutes before someone knocked on the door. It was Bai Yuan’s voice. “Get up. It’s raining today. We’re having indoor practice!”
Wang Shao wailed, “Can’t we rest for a day!”
“I’d say the same!”
“Agree!”
Bai Yuan also learned to be impartial and shouted, “No way!”
However, he thought for a moment and said, “It’s 6 am now. We’ll gather before 7 am.”
Wang Shao shouted excitedly, “Bai Yuan, I love you!”
“Me too!”
“Agree!”
Bai Yuan replied, “…Women!”
Everyone in the dormitory burst into laughter.
Li Xueqing was woken up by the laughter.
But seeing that everyone was still in bed, she curled up under her blanket and continued sleeping soundly.
At 7 am, the girls finally gathered.
The men who had foolishly woken up at 5 am looked at them resentfully, with jealousy written all over their faces!
Ma Lin got the teams in order and very soon, the other instructors came in.
The indoor training room was not as spacious as the outdoors.
But it was enough for everyone to practice in.
Unexpectedly, besides the Swift Eagle members, who had been the instructors all this time, there was another rare face.
The girls became excited when they noticed this person.
