Chapter 240 Making trouble
The news that Xi Yu had been selected to participate in this top-level mission quickly spread throughout the entire military academy.
All the trainees were surprised by this, and some even raised questions, but Lieutenant Colonel Yu Hao forcefully suppressed them all.
According to Principal Luo Hong, he selected trainees based on their abilities and future potential. The five on the list were all handpicked by him and were absolutely qualified to participate in the mission.
Although Principal Luo Hong personally came forward to explain, many students still could not accept it, especially those in the combat department.
As for Xi Yu's logistics department colleagues, they were very supportive, because this was a great opportunity to slap the combat department in the face! Their logistics department had long been at a disadvantage, and now that someone had stood up for them, they were naturally happy.
The uproar over this matter lasted for several days without subsiding. Whenever Xi Yu left the dormitory, people would point and talk about her.
Ruan Zilu was worried that Xi Yu would be upset, so she quickly comforted her: "Don't pay attention to those gossiping people. They're just jealous and talking nonsense because they can't have it!"
Xi Yu smiled calmly, as if she didn't actually feel anything, as if she wasn't the one being hated and gossiped about.
Seeing this, Ruan Zilu felt much relieved, but still felt sorry for Xi Yu. In recent days, everyone had made sarcastic remarks about Xi Yu, most of whom were strangers.
The two arrived at the cafeteria to get their dinner, but as soon as they stepped inside, the noisy cafeteria fell silent.
Ruan Zilu nervously grabbed Xi Yu's clothes, while Xi Yu walked inside without looking to the side. She had already seen that steamed eggs, which she liked, were on tonight's menu.
Suddenly, several people blocked their path, forcing her to stop.
She raised her eyes and looked at the person blocking her way.
The leader was a male student, followed by several other men and women. Xi Yu had never seen them before and guessed they were second or third-year students.
Ruan Zilu recognized one of the women; it was Jiang Yudie, a combat student who had been in the same year as her.
Jiang Yudie is Jiang Yuwen's younger sister, who is on the list of selected candidates.
Ruan Zilu hurriedly whispered her identity to Xi Yu, and seeing the men's hostile attitude, she feared things would not end well.
"What's wrong?" Xi Yu asked without even looking up.
The male student in the lead frowned, displeased with Xi Yu's nonchalant attitude. He suppressed his anger and introduced himself in a deep voice: "I am Gao Jie, a third-year student."
Xi Yu waited for him to continue, but he only said a name and then stopped talking. He was blocking the intersection and preventing her from having dinner!
She replied impatiently, "Oh, is there something you need?"
Gao Jie, who was standing in front of her, seemed not to have expected her to react this way. He was so angry that his face turned red and he gritted his teeth.
Xi Yu really wanted to roll her eyes. Could someone please tell her what was going on?
"Gao Jie... Ah, could he be the Gao Jie who ranked in the top three among the third-year students?" Ruan Zilu covered her mouth in surprise and explained to Xi Yu in a timely manner.
"I heard he has exceptional shooting skills, especially in short-range rifle shooting! Many people find it unbelievable that he wasn't selected by Principal Luo Hong!"
Ruan Zilu kept explaining things to Xi Yu from behind.
Xi Yu frowned even more deeply. She stared directly at Gao Jie and couldn't help but sigh, "So what? You don't actually think that as long as you defeat me here, you can make Principal Luo Hong change his mind and change my name to yours? You've been in military academy for three years now, you can't be that naive, can you?"
Gao Jie's expression immediately changed, especially when Xi Yu said "spent three years," which made him furious. Wasn't it precisely because they couldn't graduate that they were delayed for three years?!
