"No, you wonât lose anything."
An Ruoxue stuck out her tempting tongue and licked her lips in response.
"Who says so?"
Su Ming heard An Ruoxueâs words and instantly replied, blood pressure rising.
"Could it be your first time too?"
Hearing Su Mingâs words, An Ruoxue showed a mischievous smile and asked with great delight.
"Hmph, in any case, stop fooling around."
Su Ming scolded her with a dark expression.
"Hey, if you feel disadvantaged, letâs say I let you kiss me back."
An Ruoxue blinked at Su Ming and said.
"You..."
Su Ming was rendered speechless by An Ruoxue.
"Haha!"
Celeste laughed at the scene; it was the first time sheâd seen Su Ming so embarrassed.
An Ruoxue turned her gaze to Celeste, curious, and asked.
"Who is this?"
"Artificial Intelligence·Celeste!"
Su Ming said to An Ruoxue.
"Oh, I remember now, the AI from the tri-school competition. Isnât she the treasure of the Federation? Why is she here?"
An Ruoxue asked in surprise.
"The Federation gave Celeste to me; now she follows me."
Su Ming explained to An Ruoxue.
"The Federation is quite generous to you."
An Ruoxue replied with a chuckle.
"Not too bad. Since youâre fine, Iâll be going."
Su Ming said to An Ruoxue with a stern face.
"Are you sure you want to leave? Not staying?"
An Ruoxue patted the bed with her hand and asked.
"No!"
Su Ming quickly turned and left.
"Wait for me!"
Celeste quickly chased after Su Ming and slipped into his pocket.
An Ruoxue watched Su Mingâs somewhat flustered departure with a bright smile on her face.
...
The next afternoon in the training room.
Su Ming sat absent-mindedly on the chair, recalling the events of yesterday.
"Sir..."
Wicket called softly.
Su Ming snapped back to reality, looking at Wicket and asked.
"Whatâs up?"
"Class is over, we should go to the cafeteria to eat."
Wicket said to Su Ming.
Just then, Su Ming noticed the room was almost empty.
"Oh, you guys go eat; bring me something, I feel a bit tired, and Iâll go rest first."
Su Ming said to Wicket and the two of them.
"Okay!"
Wicket and the two nodded.
Su Ming then got up and left the classroom, heading toward the D1 area.
While walking through a transfer hall, a group of people approached him, blocking his way.
Su Ming looked up and saw five burly men with fierce eyes and calloused hands staring at him unfriendly.
It was obvious these five were here to cause trouble.
However, Su Ming didnât want a conflict, so he walked to the side.
The five burly men also moved to the side, deliberately blocking Su Ming.
Su Mingâs brows furrowed slightly as he was about to turn and leave, but then five more burly men appeared behind him, surrounding him.
"What do you want?"
Su Ming asked in a raspy tone.
"What do we want? You have the nerve to ask me what we want!"
The burly men surrounding Su Ming stepped aside, and Conriv walked out, his teeth gritting, glaring at Su Ming.
"I donât know you; youâve got the wrong person."
Seeing Conriv, Su Mingâs heart sank, puzzled about why this guy sought trouble with him. As far as he knew, there was no grievance between them.
"Bullshit, Iâm looking for you. You filthy peasant, I havenât even held An Ruoxueâs hand, and you dare to hug her."
Conriv cursed with a sinister face. He was furious; yesterday, he rushed to the door, only to be stopped by the Guard Captain and couldnât get in, leaving in humiliation.
Seeing that Conriv was indeed targeting him, and things would likely not end well, Su Ming opened his mouth to explain to avoid exposure.
"I was just escorting the lady back to rest."
"Even thatâs not okay."
"Oh? Then what do you want?"
"What do I want? Chop off those filthy hands of yours, and Iâll let you go!"
Conriv replied viciously.
"Oh, try if youâve got the guts."
Su Ming replied frostily.
Conriv, seeing Su Mingâs arrogance, flew into rage, shouting.
"Beat him to death!"
Following Conrivâs order, a burly man swung his fierce fist towards Su Ming.
Su Ming didnât dodge, his entire demeanor changed instantly, his gaze turning sharp as a wild beast. He reached out and caught the manâs fist.
The manâs face immediately showed a painful expression, as if his fist had hit steel and his bones were about to shatter.
But it wasnât over; Su Ming grabbed the manâs hand and fiercely flung him backward.
The man crashed into his companions behind him, knocking them out.
Su Ming darted toward another burly man like a leopard, punching him in the stomach and knocking him down, before turning to kick another flying, and then moved on to the others.
In the blink of an eye, all eight burly men were laid out by Su Ming.
Conriv was dumbfounded; he never expected Su Ming to be so good at fighting, infuriated, he shouted.
"What are you standing around for? Use weapons!"
Conrivâs remaining subordinates immediately reached for the beam gun at their waists.
Su Mingâs eyes flashed cold, rushing towards the closest burly man like a shadow. Before he could draw his beam gun, a fierce punch came, straight for his face!
Bang!
The man flew backwards, blood gushing from his nose, crashing heavily to the ground.
At that moment, Conrivâs last subordinate drew his beam gun, aiming it at Su Ming.
