Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night

"Uncle, how did you know? Lan Rui is indeed on the exchange student list because I promised Lan Ruochen I’d introduce his sister to the outstanding single young men of our Gu Family."

Gu Jue cut off the contact.

He turned around and mentioned this to Su Wan.

Su Wan squinted her eyes, eating the roasted fish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Had the Mermaid Princess changed her target?

It would be for the best.

Otherwise, when she arrived at Empire University, Su Wan would definitely ’welcome her’ properly!

After dinner, Su Wan took the notes that Gu Jue had made earlier and went back to her original room to study seriously.

Recently, she had been learning about the Command Department at school.

She suddenly realized that being a successful Commander was not easy at all.

First and foremost, you had to make all your warriors acknowledge and trust you.

On this point, Su Wan was lacking.

She could bet that at least eighty percent of them did not truly acknowledge her.

But Su Wan wasn’t in a hurry; she was determined to prove herself in the upcoming rematch and show that she was not a useless vase relying solely on the Commander’s glory!

Thanks to Gu Jue’s detailed notes and her own excellent memory, she managed to memorize the strengths and weaknesses of one hundred and fifty people in just one night.

Additionally, she pulled up data to study the strengths and weaknesses of the key members of Group A.

After all, knowing both yourself and your enemy is the key to never facing defeat!

Su Wan also remembered the ancient literature she had seen on Ancient Earth, such as ’Romance of the Three Kingdoms’ and ’The Art of War’ by Sun Tzu.

Some of the strategies could be mixed into their current competition.

The more Su Wan read, the more excited and thrilled she became.

She almost forgot the time was passing.

In the master bedroom next door, the freshly cleaned Chief Commander Gu Jue, with the tip of his long, furry tail, rose and fell casually on the bed.

His furry ears twitched from time to time.

In his deep, dark eyes, there was a trace of faint grievance, almost engulfed by the darkness.

The night grew deep.

When Su Wan finally grasped everything she wanted to study and research, she rubbed her sore neck.

"Vermilion Bird, what time is it?"

"12:50."

Su Wan was startled. It was so late.

She reached out and gently stroked her belly, "Baby, I’m sorry. Mom didn’t mean to stay up late; I just lost track of time. Let’s go to sleep now, okay?"

Su Wan tiptoed back to the master bedroom next door and saw that most of the lights were off, with only the bedside lamp still on.

The Commander seemed to have fallen asleep lying on the bed, with the blanket draped across his waist.

Knowing how hard he worked every day and not wanting to wake him, Su Wan tiptoed to the bathroom to wash up.

But as she entered the bathroom, the person lying on the bed suddenly turned over.

The blanket slid down, revealing a smooth back.

The next moment, a pair of large white wings suddenly unfurled, lightly covering their owner.

In a half-hidden manner.

When Su Wan came back from washing up and saw this scene, she was silent for a moment.

However, she only hesitated for a second before deciding to take action!

This was a rare opportunity, with the great Commander asleep.

His ears and tail had appeared, probably because he was so relaxed that even his wings had come out.

Perhaps, just a gentle touch?

Su Wan quietly moved closer, the mattress was very comfortable, and there was no tremble from her weight shifting on one side that could awaken the Commander.

She cherished the pair of large white wings tenderly.

They were like the wings of an angel.

Su Wan had secretly checked out the Commander’s full beast transformation, the Frost Winged Wolf.

This was a symbol of a rare mutation.

Ordinary canine beastmen would have just ears or a tail, or both at the same time.

Like Gu Jue, to also have wings was extremely rare.

But at the same time, whether it was his personality or his style of doing things, he was also influenced by his complete form, very cold.

What Su Wan found amazing was that although Commander Gu was very cold,

his wings, tail, and fluffy ears were exceptionally warm.

He wouldn’t wake up, would he?

Then she could boldly pet them as much as she wanted!

The man’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, then he slowly opened his eyes.

And with a turn,

"Ah!"

A certain mischievous young lady only had time to let out a scream before all her words were gently sealed off.

The night was deep, romantic, and long.

**

Oddly enough, the Mecha competition, which originally hardly anyone paid attention to, suddenly saw a surge in interest!

The number of people paying attention to the semi-finals turned out to be even more than during the preliminary round!

Almost every department’s big shots were monitoring this event online! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

General Adolf sat in his seat, holding a cup of tea, sipping it contentedly.

He said, "Mu Lei, you really came up with a ruthless idea, letting freshmen and sophomores compete against juniors. Isn’t this... Oh my, too cruel. Aren’t you just letting the new students get bullied by their seniors?"

Mu Lei, dressed in a black teacher’s uniform, stood upright, "General Adolf, hasn’t your military training base tormented kids many times more than I have?"

"But I’m much older than you!"

Principal Audrey coughed and said helplessly, "The children are the future of our Federal Empire, both of you should settle down a bit."

Luo Qi from the Interstellar Court watched the competition screen seriously and said, "Don’t underestimate the young people like that. Sometimes, they are the ones who can create miracles."

Adolf laughed, "Is it because your grandson is in the sophomore Group B, that you have such high hopes for them?"

Luo Qi shook his head, "It’s not just because Roy is in Group B. Have you forgotten, General Adolf, about that young lady who is also in Group B?"

The young lady of very prestigious identity!

Adolf immediately remembered who it was, recalling the events at the military training base!

Just thinking of her, he felt so despondent he could lose hair!

Adolf: "Student Su Wan is quite talented, but it’s a pity she’s pregnant, and she transferred to the Military College not long ago, didn’t she?"

After hearing this, Mu Lei smiled faintly, "She is the Chief Commander of Group B this time."

"What?!"

Looking at the split screen, the looks of utter shock were apparent on the faces of several big shots.

Especially since His Majesty Gu Zilan, who had just connected, was no exception.

Mu Lei felt, well, quite thrilled.

He had always had a high opinion of that girl Su Wan and believed she was very talented.

The only regret he had now was that the girl wasn’t his own daughter!

His Majesty, who had just come online, had resumed his usual majestic demeanor and said, "This competition is very interesting to watch. For outstanding students, various departments can start paying attention to them in advance."

Everyone agreed.

At this moment, the last black screen lit up.

Gu Jue, dressed in dark military uniform, appeared on the screen.

Standing beside Principal Audrey, Mu Lei announced that the semi-final of the Empire University Military College Mecha competition officially began!
