Chapter 50: Chapter 050 Are You That Free? Chapter 50: Chapter 050 Are You That Free? The cafeteria on the third floor was a self-serve restaurant where Xu Jinglan, with her tray in hand, strode toward a window-side seat, followed by He Shu, who resembled a dutiful little wife.
The tray landed with a clang on an empty spot, startling Lin Fu.
“Huh? How did you know I was here?”
It wasn’t until she came for a meal that she realized just how vast the Military Academy’s cafeteria was; without arranging a meet-up, one could go a lifetime without running into someone.
Of course, there were exceptions. For instance, the No. 003 cafeteria she was in was the best one, offering only precious ingredients and exotic treasures crafted into special meals, averaging a six-figure cost per person.
The third floor she was on was self-serve, eight thousand per person, eat all you can. For Military Academy Students with large appetites, this was considered good value for money and was extremely popular.
She learned about it through the campus network strategies, and the tastes were indeed excellent.
“You’re quite the celebrity among us freshmen now. Finding you wasn’t difficult.”
Xu Jinglan sat down opposite her, sprawling elegantly and looking suave.
He Shu gave Lin Fu an affectionate smile and sat down next to her.
“You all know?” Lin Fu felt a little guilty.
“Hehe!” Xu Jinglan gave Lin Fu a sly, humorless smile that spoke volumes, then started eating her meal.
He Shu looked at Lin Fu with a worried face, “What are we going to do? Eugene has already announced that no one is allowed to compete with him.”
“How can you not be worried?” He Shu was close to dying of anxiety when she saw the news on the campus network, yet Lin Fu, the person concerned, seemed unbothered.
“Of course, it’s about you. They all want you to become a maid. Every year at the Land War Academy, the last three freshmen always have a hard time for that month. Especially since you’ve offended Eugene and Dorothea, you’re doomed.”
Not just freshmen, but even older students wouldn’t dare to offend Eugene and his clique easily.
“It’s not just Eugene. I heard many people are vying to make you their maid,” said Xu Jinglan with a scornful laugh. “Now they take pride in securing you as a maid, and some even bet on it with all sorts of stakes.”
“Doesn’t the school care?”
“No, wildness, freedom, and cruelty are traits etched into Elbert’s marrow. As long as no one gets killed, there isn’t anything too serious. There’s only a fine line separating the students of Elbert and desperadoes.”
Xu Jinglan ate quickly and was already full, so she put down her utensils and continued, “That’s why many who are crazy, unruly, and love freedom choose Elbert.”
Lin Fu listened in astonishment, “Is it really that free?”
“Haha…” Xu Jinglan couldn’t help laughing joyfully, obviously seeing herself as one of those freedom-lovers.
“Marshal Defo’s famous saying is, ‘I smoke, fight, beat up people, drink, sleep with women, but I am a good general.’ The fact proves that Marshal Defo deserved his reputation as a god of war, having earned countless honors for the Empire in his lifetime.”
Lin Fu marveled and, seeing that she was still in the mood to pay attention to others, said He Shu anxiously, “What are you thinking at a time ? You’re in danger yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinglan’s expression turned contemplative, and her gaze on Lin Fu became more serious.
“They may want to capture someone to be a maid, but that person will definitely not be me. So, what does it have to do with me? Why does everyone think I will come last?” Lin Fu said and began to enjoy the fruit.
He Shu exaggeratedly covered her mouth, “You might as well have ‘bottom rank’ written on your face. Who gave you so much confidence? Your B-grade constitution?”
