Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1633 - 1630: Ignorance Is Fearless

"Couple? Overnight? You pervert!" Xiao Manxuan immediately caught the keywords in Lin Tian’s words and quickly threw a pillow at him.

The little girl put one hand on her hip and pointed at Lin Tian with the other, accusing him, "Tell me, was this your idea to do something to me... to me..."

She couldn’t finish the sentence, her face turned red, but it was clear she was very angry.

"Do what to you?" Lin Tian sat down, acting shamelessly. After all, if he really wanted to do something, would he have waited until now?

"Anyway, you bad guy, trying to make a move on me." Xiao Manxuan huffed angrily.

"Let me correct you, it wasn’t my idea, it was your Sister Luoxi’s. If you have any objections, you should take it up with her." Lin Tian shrugged, looking innocent, implying that it was the little girl who was overthinking.

Xiao Manxuan was stunned, still doubtful, she asked, "Really Sister Luoxi?"

"Of course, Ning Luoxi said that the Secret Master mostly acts at night, so we need to stay overnight, and it must be outdoors to avoid harming innocent people." Lin Tian explained.

"Alright then, when do we leave?" Xiao Manxuan asked.

"Probably after the military training ends, so remember to bring your guqin." Lin Tian wasn’t sure of the exact holiday schedule because there was still target shooting and a marching competition in the later stages of military training.

"Okay." Xiao Manxuan’s eyes shifted as she reluctantly agreed to Lin Tian’s overnight explanation.

As she turned back to her room, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Should we tell my sister about this?"

Lin Tian paused for a moment and said, "Let’s keep it quiet for now. Miss is under a lot of pressure and we shouldn’t add to it."

The little girl suddenly smiled and said, "Great minds think alike, I feel the same way."

The afternoon continued with military training, and in the days that followed, they spent each day going out early and coming back late for training. Since Zhao Weitao’s earlier embarrassment, he seemed to have calmed down and didn’t bother Xiao Manxuan anymore.

The later stages of military training included target shooting and a marching competition. Whether it was because of Zhuang Yuan’s good teaching or the diligence of Class One’s girls, they won first place in the marching competition.

Under the leadership of He Xiaofei and Mu Binglan, the girls trained hard, and the boys used Lin Tian as a role model, determined not to bring shame upon the only ten men in the class.

When the host announced the winners of the marching competition, everyone in Class One celebrated wildly, their hard work finally paying off. Class One stood out among the freshmen, from Lin Tian’s stunning long-distance run to their first place in the marching competition, along with the gender imbalance in their class, it made many envious.

After the marching competition ended, the instructors left the school. The farewell scene was emotional, and many were in tears, as the bonds built over half a month made parting hard to bear.

The students of Class One accompanied Lu Yuan to his car, and surprisingly, it wasn’t the girls who cried first, but several boys, especially Qiao Xiaoyi, who was usually cheerful and smiling, yet couldn’t hold back his tears.

No one mocked them because everyone knew that the camaraderie in brothers in arms is often stronger in men than in women.

"Lin Tian, there are college students enlisted every year. I hope that when I see you again, you’ll be in uniform. You’re a great candidate for Special Forces." Lu Yuan said sincerely, reflecting every instructor’s hope for promising students.

However, Lin Tian could only inwardly smile wryly, knowing he would likely disappoint him, but unwilling to make Lu Yuan too sad, he said earnestly, "Instructor Lu, I’ll try my best."

Lu Yuan patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, waved goodbye to the other students, then got into the car. As the door closed, Lin Tian saw tears in Lu Yuan’s eyes.

Everyone was reluctant because they knew that once they parted this time, they might never meet again in this lifetime as the car finally disappeared into the distance.

Lin Tian patted Qiao Xiaoyi on the shoulder, comforting him, "If you can’t bear to part with the instructor, you should join the army. With your cultural and physical qualities, it shouldn’t be a problem."

Qiao Xiaoyi turned to look at Lin Tian, with a bitter smile on his face, "During the holidays, I’m afraid to kill a chicken, let alone step on an ant. With my timid and cowardly nature, I’m not fit to be a soldier at all."

Lin Tian laughed and confidently said, "I can tell you for sure, you’re not cowardly. You just don’t want to take their lives. It’s a compassion for life. You risked getting hit by a car to save that girl, which shows a great spirit. Who dares say you’re timid and cowardly?"

"Really? A lot of people say I’m timid, even afraid to kill a chicken." Qiao Xiaoyi said, still doubtful.

"Believe me, you’re not timid; your heart is clear and kind, eager to help others, and cherishes life, which is the virtue of a gentleman. However, in modern society, utilitarianism is too prevalent, causing these gentlemanly virtues to be undervalued." Lin Tian advised him.

"Brother Lin, you make me blush." Qiao Xiaoyi smiled shyly, but after Lin Tian’s words, he clearly had a lot of realizations.

"Lin Tian, Xiaoyi..." He Xiaofei suddenly called out, interrupting their conversation. She walked over and said, "After the military training ends, it happens to be the weekend, and the school will have a few days off. Are you going home or staying on campus?"

"I’m staying." Qiao Xiaoyi replied.

Lin Tian didn’t know why He Xiaofei was asking, so he also said, "I’m staying too."

Hearing this, He Xiaofei smiled happily, "That’s great. Sister Lan and I are staying too. Why don’t the four of us go for an outing in the suburbs? After all, we’re in Jinghua City, we shouldn’t miss the scenery of the Imperial Capital."

"I don’t mind." Upon hearing Mu Binglan would also be there, Qiao Xiaoyi agreed immediately. Who said he was timid? At least he seizes opportunities well.

Lin Tian scratched his forehead, feeling troubled, "I have plans." He really did have plans, significant plans, like taking down the Secret Master.

"What, the great hero doesn’t want to go on an outing with us?" He Xiaofei joked, then she seemed to remember something and laughed, "I get it, you have a date with Mr. Xiao? That’s fine, you can invite her. Five of us going together would be more fun, you wouldn’t refuse a group activity, right?"

"Have you figured out how many people are going? I’m going to purchase outdoor gear, climbing Red Leaf Mountain is no joke." Mu Binglan glanced at Lin Tian, asked impatiently. Lin Tian’s hesitation seemed to annoy her.

"Red Leaf Mountain? You’re going to Red Leaf Mountain?" Lin Tian squinted slightly, his eyes flashing cold.

"I think I heard something, someone wants to go to Red Leaf Mountain?" A voice suddenly came from behind, and they turned to see Zhao Weitao, standing next to a man wearing sunglasses and fashionable clothes, Liu Yuansi, Zhao Weitao’s friend from outside of school.

Liu Yuansi took off his sunglasses and smiled easily, "I heard you outran Brother Zhao, how about we have a rock climbing competition at Red Leaf Mountain?"
