At that moment, Gao Wei, his face darkened, leapt down from the stage and approached them. Grinding his teeth, he said, "Meng Xinian! It’s you again! Are you like a ghost that won’t go away? From childhood until now, do you have to compete with me for everything? Fine, no need to talk, let’s take this outside and fight. Whoever loses gets lost and never shows their face in front of Xiao Ruo again, how about that?" As he spoke, he threw the bouquet of flowers into Zhao Xin’s arms and glared at Meng Xinian.
"Gao Wei, can you stop making a scene? Are you being childish?" Du Jinruo scolded him in a low voice.
She didn’t believe a word Meng Xinian had just said—what did he mean he didn’t recognize her?
He must be upset because of Gao Wei’s behavior just now!
"I’m childish?" Gao Wei pointed at himself, then at Meng Xinian, "He’s twenty, I’m twenty too, but he’s still starting from the bottom as a junior soldier, while I am a proper, earnest candidate who was accepted into the Supervisor Guard Academy. Who’s being childish?"
His words had indeed offended most of the people there.
True, a lot of them were candidates, unable to join the Supervisor Guard Academy, but what did he mean by ’junior soldier’s eggs’? In terms of military quality, they definitely were not inferior!
Suddenly, many people in attendance were leaning toward Meng Xinian’s side.
"Captain Meng, take him on! Let’s see if the junior soldiers win, or the Supervisor Guard Academy students are stronger!"
"Captain Meng! Just use the skills you normally use to dominate us! What’s so great about the Supervisor Guard Academy? Probably can’t even stand a single finger push from Captain Meng!"
"That’s right! Go Captain Meng! If Miss Du Jinruo is your girl, we guarantee we’ll all respect that!"
"Captain Meng and Comrade Du Jinruo are a match made in heaven!"
"Captain Meng, don’t be cowardly! Win the fight and submit your marriage application tomorrow; let’s see how those Supervisor Guard Academy students can compete!"
All of a sudden, the crowd was bubbling with excitement.
The soldiers present were all thrilled.
And truth be told, Tyrant Meng standing next to Comrade Du Jinruo really did look like Golden Boy and Jade Girl, perfectly matched!
Someone timidly spoke up, "Haven’t you forgotten? Tyrant Meng already has a fiancée."
But that voice was almost immediately drowned out by others.
Some even speculated, "Could it be... that Captain Meng’s fiancée is Miss Du Jinruo?"
This guess gained a lot of nods of agreement.
Meanwhile, Zhao Xin had already been completely confused.
And Du Jinruo didn’t know what to say. She was truly in turmoil, on one hand outraged by Gao Wei’s shameless conduct, yet part of her secretly harbored a sliver of expectation.
Would Meng Xinian really answer Gao Wei’s challenge in a bout of anger on her behalf?
Gao Wei had been pestering her since they were young, and in the last two years, he had become even more relentless. She was truly fed up with Gao Wei; the type of person she liked was nothing like Gao Wei!
If Meng Xinian truly accepted this challenge and won against Gao Wei, it would really solve a huge problem for her! Gao Wei would never be able to bother her again!
Hence, she just pursed her lips and remained silent.
Meng Xinian turned around and walked towards the door.
Du Jinruo’s beautiful eyes suddenly brightened.
Was Meng Xinian accepting the challenge?
That’s what everyone thought.
"Wow! Let’s go outside and see how Tyrant Meng crushes the Supervisor Guard Academy student!"
"Tyrant Meng is going to fight for his lady’s honor!"
"Captain Meng is mightyl! Fiercely defending his woman!"
Gao Wei’s face darkened, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves and walked out. The young man who came with him followed and patted his shoulder, whispering, "Ah Wei, make sure to lay that Meng guy out flat!"
