(Unedited)

'¦

Xin Ja was feeling a bit gloomy for the whole day, and when the class ended. Several female students began to flock around him. This made it not possible for him and Rou Chenchen to talk. He could not help but give her a slight glance and showed a faint smile on his face.

Rou Chenchen saw this and she just nodded her head.

She did not know why, but it seems that Xin Ja still cares for her. Although she too has a bad day, upon seeing this slight smile, it seems that her heavy feeling was blown away.

So what if they would stay friends? As long as she could see him, as long as she could be with him, she did not care'¦

"Hey, are you going home, or should we wait for him?" Qing Joming said while looking at Xin Ja and the flock of women around him.

"Let's wait for him at the gates like usual'¦" Rou Chenchen said.

As the two walked, Xin Ja could not help but feel a heavy feeling in his heart. He did not know why, but this whole day, he could not get her out of his mind.

Her smile, her voice, her scent, everything about Rou Chenchen filled his mind as if he would go crazy if he could not see her.

"So what is she has already someone she likes'¦ I will still confess my feelings'¦ At least, I was brave enough to tell her how I feel'¦" Xin Ja said as he did not want to regret anything.

On the battlefield, he had seen many soldiers having regrets and dying with regrets. Because they hesitated, they have not said what they have truly felt and it made them regret it at the last minute of their lives'¦ and he did not want to experience that.

As Xin Ja stood up, he showed a kind smile towards the young women around him.

"I would like to say, thank you for your support and admiration'¦ See you tomorrow!" he said with a shy smile and bowed.

The young women around him were a bit stunned, but then they all showed blush on their faces and giggled.

Xin Ja did not know what to do so he just walks out of the classroom and left.

On his way, he saw Tung Jo who is currently talking with a female student.

From the way the two are talking it seems that they have a close relationship.

The two saw Xin Ja and they showed an excited expression on their faces.

"Hey!" Xin Ja greeted.

"Hello! I'm Lin Wayin'¦ I'm a big admirer of yours'¦" the young woman beside Tung Jo suddenly said as she quickly stood in front of Xin Ja and cupped her hands.

"Umm'¦ Brother Ja'¦ She is my friend and she likes the things that you've created'¦ In fact, the both of us are thinking of joining the new classes'¦" Tung Jo explained.

"Really? I'm'¦ I'm flattered." Xin Ja said with a shy smile.

"Eh'¦ You're really are very shy'¦ Hihi'¦ Well, as to what he said, I like the Mechas you created'¦ they are too powerful and exciting to build. I'm excited about the new classes'¦ Anyway, I'll be going then. Tung Jo'¦ Bye! Bye! See you later'¦" she said while waving her goodbye at Tung Jo.

The expression of Tung Jo is full of love as he waves his goodbye at the lovely young woman.

"Bye, Senior Lin'¦" Tung Jo said while waving his hand.

When Xin Ja saw this, his expression turned a bit happy. Who would have known that his friend would be able to fall in love while he is away?

"Ahem'¦ It seems that you and'¦ Senior Lin'¦ has a good relationship'¦" Xin Ja teases.

"What? I'¦ I don't know what happened really." Tung Jo said while scratching his head.

"I was just walking one day and then saw her running out of a restaurant. Someone was chasing after her. That guy wanted to hurt her, so I intervened. Who would have known that the guy is a part of the Combat classes and I was beaten black and blue? But Senior Lin thinks that I was brave enough to help her'¦ From then on'¦ we'¦ we started to hang out together'¦"

"Wow'¦ I guess you have a hero, in you'¦" Xin Ja said with a smile.

"Stop teasing me. How about you? Have you already told Rou Chenchen how you feel? She's been waiting for you for a long time, you know'¦"

"Sigh'¦ I can't'¦ She'¦ she has someone she likes already." Xin Ja said with a said tone.

Tung Jo looks at Xin Ja with disbelief in his eyes.

How could he not know how the two felt for each other?

He and Qin Joming would always walk together with Rou Chenchen each time the classes ends. So how could he not know if she likes another guy or not?

A confused expression appears on Tung Jo's face.

"Are you sure about this? Did you ask her?" Tung Jo asked.

"I don't have to'¦"

"Why?"

"I asked her if she have someone she liked, and she said yes'¦ So what does that mean?" Xin Ja asked.

"What? Did you ask who?"

"No'¦ Why should I?"

Flick!

Although Tung Jo is weaker than Xin Ja and although his body is not that frail anymore, maybe thanks to that Senior Lin, he did not think twice to hit his friend's forehead.

"What was that for?" Xin Ja frowned.

"Are you stupid or something? You asked her if she likes someone'¦ of course, she would say yes. That's because you are that someone." Tung Jo said with a helpless expression.

"Me? No'¦ I was the one asking her'¦"

"Sigh'¦ Senior Lin told me about women'¦ They like to play with words. That's why sometimes'¦ I could not understand her before'¦ But now, I think I can catch how women communicate with each other. It's a bit complex, but also interesting. It's like a complicated rune formation, you know'¦"

"So?"

"Sigh, you're helpless'¦ Let's just go'¦ I think she and Qin Joming would be waiting by the gates'¦" Tung Jo said as the two began walking.

Meanwhile'¦ at the gates of the academy'¦

Several people are surrounding two figures.

"Qin Joming, if you don't want to get beaten, get the hell out of here'¦" a fierce-looking young man said while glaring at Qing Joming.

But Qin Joming did not even budge as he stood in front of Rou Chenchen.

"If you dare touch her, then you have to go through me'¦" Qin Joming said with an angry expression.

"This is the problem of the Rou clan'¦ You have no right to say anything."

"Rou clan my ass'¦ You're just ganging up to bully a single girl'¦ What a load of crap. If you are truly brave, let's fight one on one'¦ Tomorrow is the launch of the Mecha classes'¦ let's have a Mecha battle then. If you lose, do not bother her, if you win, then you can do whatever you want." Qin Joming shouted.

Everyone looks at Qin Joming with a scornful gaze.

"Hahaha'¦ You have a nice protector cousin Chenchen'¦ I guess a slut like you could always use men'¦" the young man said with a scornful expression.

However, before he could finish, he was already sent flying towards the streets and before landing, he has already passed out.

"It seems that your mouths need to be washed clean'¦" an angry figure stood in front of Qin Joming and Rou Chenchen.

When Chenchen saw that figure, her heart could not help but skip a beat.

"Sigh'¦ I'm glad you arrive'¦ My knees are about to buckle you know'¦" Qin Joming said as he patted Xin Ja's shoulder and walk to the side of the wall while patting his chest as if trying to calm himself down.

"You're really brave, man'¦" Tung Jo said while patting Qing Joming's shoulder.

"Yeah'¦" Xin Ja agreed as he puts his thumb up.

"Geez'¦ After this, you should treat me, okay? I'm having a hard time protecting your girl." Qing Joming said with a smirk.

Upon hearing this, the expression of Rou Chenchen turned ruddy as she shyly looks down.

The four are talking, the expression of the people around them turned grave.

Who did not know the reputation of Xin Ja in the town? He was a hero, someone who could kill people on the battlefield. He could take on an army by himself, so how could they mere students fight against that?

Without hesitation, they quickly ran away while dragging the unconscious cousin of Rou Chenchen.

Upon seeing the fleeing figures, Xin Ja shook his head and turn towards the three behind him.

"Are you okay?" he said with a gentle expression on his face.

"Nah, I'm good!" Qin Joming replied while waving his hand.

But Tung Jo grabs his hand and pulled him to the side.

Rou Chenchen felt her heart beating wildly. It was like the time when Xin Ja suddenly drags her to a secluded place.

"I'm'¦ fine'¦ Thank you." She said shyly.

"Chenchen'¦ I'¦ I have something to tell you.. I don't know if something has changed'¦ but for me'¦ I'¦" Xin Ja said and then stopped as he took a deep breath.
