Astral Flower-Chapter 60: Worry

Long Qian Xing thought of his grandfather’s words and then tapped his screen. "Meet me at your school gate."

"Huh?"

"I’ll take you to walk around."

Without waiting for Nan Hua to answer, Long Qian Xing logged off. The distance between the buildings where he usually practiced and stayed was quite far from the High School area. After all, the Military Academy was as big as a city.

Nan Hua looked at Long Shi Yu. "I’ll go out first. Thank you for today."

"Ok. Take care."

With that, Nan Hua also logged off.

Tian Lou watched everything and still feel that it was a bit surreal. He looked at Long Shi Yu and asked quietly, "Can you explain what did Qian Xing actually wants?"

"He should be worried." Long Shi Yu looked at the protection mechanism for the Realistic Simulation and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was placed at the highest state. It meant that they were protected as much as possible while maintaining their experience during the battle.

The protection mechanism in the Realistic Simulation couldn’t be as good as the games because they still need to practice after ’dying.’ Thus, they had to remember the details of their death.

For the games, their deaths’ memory would be suppressed by the protection mechanism, allowing the gamer not to think too much about it. In their mind, it would be nothing more than games.

But this training was different.

"Is Young Master Long interested in his supposed fiancée?" Tian Lou suddenly feels a bit gossipy.

Long Shi Yu passed a glance at Tian Lou.

"That..." Tian Lou coughed.

"You should know very well not to talk about Qian Xing’s private matter unless you no longer want to stay near him," Long Shi Yu reminded.

Tian Lou swallowed the words he wanted to say and nodded his head helplessly. As someone who stayed beside Long Qian Xing for a period of time, he was naturally clear about some things that Long Qian Xing would have never said.

There were some things that shouldn’t be mentioned in front of Long Qian Xing. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

This matter was just one of them.

"I’ll continue my practice. You can use the room as you wish."

"Yes."

...

<Military Academy A>

Nan Hua walked out of the cabin and saw that Yu Sui and Su Xin Rou were still quarreling with each other. It was more like Yu Sui admonishing Su Xin Rou while the latter was crying and said that she didn’t mean it.

Not wanting to get involved, Nan Hua sneaked to the door and saw Ouyang Lin stood there. She was looking at the two girls who were quarreling inside their dormitory.

"Do you want to enter?" Nan Hua asked, moving away from the door.

"Noisy," Ouyang Lin spat out one word and then walked away.

Nan Hua watched Ouyang Lin’s back for a moment before walking out of the dormitory. This genius from the Ouyang Family was indeed very highly appreciated, but she didn’t like to interact with other people.

This didn’t even exclude her roommates who had been together for some time.

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Running to the front gate at a reasonable speed, Nan Hua saw that Long Qian Xing arrived. He was riding a scooter that floated on the ground and looked quite cool. Dressed in military uniform, it was hard not to look away.

However, Nan Hua quickly saw that his walk was a bit different from usual. It was clear that Long Qian Xing ’ran away’ from the recovery cabin without being fully recovered.

"Second Young Master Long," Nan Hua greeted.

Long Qian Xing glanced at Nan Hua and nodded. "Young Miss Nan, come follow me to the training grounds."

Training grounds?

Nan Hua: "???"

She looked at Long Qian Xing, not understanding what was in this young man’s mind when he thought of bringing her to the training grounds. There were several training grounds in Military Academy A, so she followed Long Qian Xing obediently.

"There are a lot of training places outside and there are also various methods that the instructors taught to protect yourself." Long Qian Xing walked beside Nan Hua, adjusting his pace to stay beside Nan Hua properly. "Why did you think of methods that also destroy yourself?"

"When the difference between the enemies is too large, any kind of tricks will be useless." Nan Hua was calm.

If she had to say, she had actually used such a method in reality and nearly died in the past. Because she was too weak and her opponent in the mission was too strong, she had to use risky methods in order to complete the missions.

Returning with broken bones, scorched body, and many parts looked gory, it was a miracle that she was able to survive.

If not for the fact that the medical technology in this era was really good, it would be impossible for her to survive after sustaining such heavy wounds. For Nan Hua, many of her survival has always been full of miracles and for her, it didn’t really matter how much wounds she sustained as long as she could finish her missions.

At most, Nan Hua would restrain from doing some activities that would disgust her.

It was not known ever since when, the organization instilled the thought inside their mind to prioritized the missions over their own body.

"Is it not a trick?" Long Qian Xing’s eyes were watching Nan Hua deeply.

"It’s a trick, but it would not work if Young Master Long Shi Yu had been more careful and vigilant." Nan Hua looked back at Long Qian Xing and continued, "The differences in my strength and the other students who will participate in the competition are really big. Are you sure that you want me to hinder you down, Young Master Long?"

The two of them looked at each other, not talking at all. Their gazes seemed to probe each other but neither revealed their true emotions on the surface. Both their expression and body language were controlled very well.

This silent confrontation lasted for some time.
