Chapter 156 Being Alienated
Days passed by at the military academy, and before Xi Yu knew it, she had been there for three weeks.
One evening while eating dinner in the cafeteria, Ruan Zilu's childish face remained tense.
"Why do you look so annoyed? Do you hate mushrooms?" Xi Yu glanced at the mushrooms that had been picked out of her bowl.
"Huh?" Ruan Zilu was stunned, then blushed and shook her head. After a while, she nodded and stammered shyly, "I... I do hate eating mushrooms... but I'm not averse to certain foods..."
She bit her lower lip and said worriedly, "It will be a month in a week... I have to go back to my family home for the two-day holiday." If she could, she would rather stay in the dormitory for the rest of her life, but her parents are still at her family home.
Xi Yu reached out and picked all the mushrooms out of her bowl, helping her finish them all. Then she slowly said, "Why think so much? There's still a week left and you're already worrying about it. Isn't that just wasting a whole week worrying? It's not worth it."
Ruan Zilu chuckled at her words, her worries instantly dispelled. She changed her tone and asked, "And Xiaoyu, are you going home for your day off?"
"No, I have important matters to attend to in the capital." Xi Yu arranged to meet Fu Baili on her day off to dissolve the engagement.
She originally planned to rush home after that, but her mother insisted on not letting her go back, saying that she would only go back during the long holiday. Xi Yu had no choice but to agree for the time being, and it wouldn't be too late to go back next month. Now she talks to her mother for half an hour every night before going to bed.
"By the way, have you been staying with me the whole time? Is that alright?"
Xi Yu suddenly asked this question. After thinking for a while, Ruan Zilu realized what she meant. Ever since Ruan Zilu righteously denounced Wei Zi, she herself had been ostracized, and even the students in the combat department had started to ridicule her.
Wei Zi is beautiful, has a great figure, and is very sociable. She gets along well with most of the freshmen, especially the boys. Under her influence, many people have begun to distance themselves from Ruan Zilu.
"No problem, I actually feel more relaxed this way." Ruan Zilu gave a timid smile. Although she was being ignored, she felt at ease. Moreover, the students who gathered around her were only there because of her high potential value. Once they realized that she didn't actually have any ability, they quickly dispersed. She was used to it and didn't feel uncomfortable.
"Ah... the method you taught me last time was surprisingly good! Whenever I'm about to collapse from overtraining, resting for a while using your method makes me feel much better!" Ruan Zilu shared her experience shyly.
Xi Yu smiled without speaking. Ruan Zilu was quite talented in controlling her mental power. Judging from this, she was actually more suited to a support role focused on logistics.
After the two finished eating, only half of their rest time had passed, and they still had an hour before their evening simulation training.
"Shall we go back? I want to take a shower first," Ruan Zilu suggested.
"Let's go." Xi Yu cleared away the dishes before walking with her towards the dormitory.
The dormitory was located at the very back, and each time they went back, they had to cross most of the military academy. When the two of them reached the vicinity of the parade ground, Xi Yu suddenly looked up at the top floor of a building next to them.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Zilu asked curiously when she saw that she had stopped walking.
"...I just remembered I have some things to take care of, you should go back first."
After telling Ruan Zilu to go back first, Xi Yu went into the building next door.
