Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 590: Don’t Talk About Brother Little Mushroom
How could Bai Li lose to someone like this in front of Gu Yan?
Absolutely not.
He said indifferently, "I’ll give you three moves."
Opponent: "..." This kid is even more arrogant than I am!
However, standing around wasn’t an option, so Bai Li’s opponent made the first move, Bai Li countered, and then... it was over.
Instructor: "Bai Li wins!"
Opponent: "..."
The duel was over so quickly that the onlookers couldn’t even register what had happened, and the instructors took several more looks at Bai Li.
The Insectoids who came here as exchange students were actually quite good, probably some of the more talented young people from their side.
They had thought that Ji Mu was the strongest of the ten.
But now it seemed, this Bai Li was not weak either.
Gu Yan, who was watching from the sidelines, was quite pleased. She couldn’t appear too excited, and then she heard the people around her saying with confusion,
"Although Kui’s strength is not as good as Nuvis’s, he shouldn’t have been defeated in seconds."
"That Insectoid named Bai Li is really amazing."
"Did you see what happened? Just saying Insectoids are formidable! I think he must have used some kind of trick to win so quickly."
Gu Yan didn’t like hearing this.
She frowned and said to the girl, "They just finished the fight quickly, what kind of trick could they have used? If there were any tricks used, wouldn’t the instructor stop and punish them?"
The girl was put on the spot, feeling embarrassed, she said, "What if, what if the instructor didn’t notice it?"
Gu Yan: "The instructor didn’t notice it? And you did? So, tell us, what kind of trick was used?"
The girl’s complexion turned very ugly, but she was at a loss for words because she hadn’t seen anything either.
A companion of the girl said, "Gu Yan, what’s wrong with you? That’s an Insectoid, why are you speaking for an Insectoid?"
Gu Yan said earnestly, "The Insectoids have good relations with us people from Landis Star, which makes us all friends. Since we all come together for military training, we should be impartial, speak objectively, and not frame others."
Vivian wasn’t good at arguing, but she still chimed in with, "Exactly!"
At this moment, Bai Li was already walking over to them. He had actually heard the conversation between the few girls, and he didn’t care much about the slander. Moreover, hearing Xiaoyan defending him, his normally cold eyes misted with tenderness.
Seeing Bai Li approaching, the girls stopped talking and moved to another place.
When Bai Li saw Gu Yan’s indignant expression, he asked softly, "Little Gu Yan, why are you here?"
"My training ended, so I came over to take a look. They were just saying..."
"It doesn’t matter. If there’s an issue, the instructor will mention it."
"Yes!"
Gu Yan really didn’t understand those girls, but she also had no way to explain her trust in Brother Little Mushroom to others.
Vivian knew that Gu Yan had a good relationship with this Bai Li, so she found an excuse to go watch other people’s PKs, leaving Bai Li and Gu Yan standing side by side here.
Bai Li: "I thought after you passed the second assessment, you would go to rest first."
Gu Yan said honestly, "I am a little tired, actually, but I wanted to come and see you. Your military academy is indeed several levels higher than ours."
"Hmm."
The two of them chatted idly while watching the other students who were still competing on the field. Gu Yan’s eyes showed a hint of envy as she looked at the handsome and tall mecha.
"My physical condition has doomed me to never pilot a mecha in my life. But when I was little, my mother took me to pilot the Vermilion Bird, and it was quite an interesting experience."
Now mechas are much more popular than before, and they are not so expensive. As long as you’re interested, or if your physical condition isn’t limited, you can pilot one.
There’s even a kind of mecha that even pure humans can easily control.
But Gu Yan couldn’t.
If she had her parents with her, it would be fine. Their strong spiritual power meant that bringing her along posed no problem. Once, the young Little Gu Yan had crawled into a regular mecha at home by herself and fainted on the spot, bleeding from her nose. It was fortunate that White Tiger discovered her in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Bai Li looked at the light in Gu Yan’s eyes and suddenly thought of something. However, he hesitated for a moment and didn’t speak up.
He had a way that could make Xiaoyan stronger than any Beastman or Insectoid in terms of spiritual power and physical strength.
But he didn’t know if Xiaoyan would be willing...
Gu Yan had been planning to invite Bai Li to their dormitory to share some food from home, but then she received a message saying that her mother, Su Wan, had arrived.
She said apologetically, "I have to go meet my mother now."
Bai Li: "No problem."
Gu Yan: "You brought your Space Button, right? Here, take these foods, then bring them back to the dormitory to eat."
Bai Li: "...Okay."
Although a little unhappy, Bai Li wasn’t too fixated on it since the visitor was Xiaoyan’s mother.
He returned to the dormitory with the pile of food Gu Yan gave him. Upon opening the packaging, the delicious scent instantly filled the entire room.
This excited Ji Mu, who had just come back from outside, so much that his butterfly wings trembled.
"Wow! Bai Li, where did you get this food from? It smells so good, and there’s so much of it. You can’t finish it all by yourself, can you?"
Ji Mu hinted broadly, then looked at Bai Li with his expectant compound eyes.
Then Bai Li... packed up the food he couldn’t finish and put it back into the preservative box of the Space Button.
Ji Mu: "..."
So stingy! No insect is stingier than Bai Li!

Because Su Wan was too worried about her daughter, she still took the time to come and see her.
When she learned that her daughter was going to the military training base, Gu Jue wasn’t too pleased, because it meant that she would definitely have to stay there overnight.
Ever since they had a child, his wife’s attention had been more on the child.
It was still fine when the child was small, but now that the child was grown, and she still paid so much attention to the child, Commander Gu started to feel a bit grumpy once his ears developed.
Su Wan, while comforting him with a caress on his tail, said, "Actually, I’m not worried about Xiaochen or Xiaoyu. The most I do is concern myself with their future marriages. But with Xiaoyan, maybe because her health isn’t good, I tend to favor her more. This trip to the military base is mainly to see her, and to take a look at Xiaoyu while I’m there."
"Besides, Xiaoyan is already eighteen this year, and in a few years, she might get married. Then, it will be her husband’s job to protect her, and there might not be much left for us parents to do."
The thought of his daughter getting married made Gu Jue stop his temper tantrum and no longer hinder his wife.
He also cautioned, "When you get there, have your daughter stay with you for the night, and talk to her more. Those rascals at the school now are all unreliable."
