Addicted: Book Two - The Raging Flames of Passion

Chapter 57 - One More Ruthless than the Other

Bai Luo Yin's lips pulled into a grim smile, "My flaws are physical injuries. It's impossible to improve such thing."

"Oh?" Zhou Ling Yun simply uttered then looked at Bai Luo Yin with great interest, "I actually want to hear how serious your injuries are. If it's beyond what I can fix, then I can reconsider my decision."

"My skeletal framework is small, making it hard for me to gain."

Zhou Ling Yun appeared to be unconcerned as he replied nonchalantly, "What else? Only that?"

Bai Luo Yin thought of more reasons, "I have congenital tracheostenosis[1] which makes it impossible for me to adapt to an oxygen-deficient environment for a long time."

"Are there anything else?"

"Eh..." Bai Luo Yin racked his brains to compile another reason, "Severe intermittent night blindness...it's difficult for me to see in relatively low light. Once the sky becomes dark and I become nervous, I won't be able to see anything. I've gone to many hospitals, but all have stated that there is no way to cure it."

"If you have night blindness then how did you manage to get selected as a pilot?"

Bai Luo Yin calmly explained, "As per the doctor's diagnosis, my condition doesn't genuinely fall into the category of intense night blindness since it only occurs when I am in a high anxiety situation. In normal times, there are no problems during regular checkups. It mainly happens during night training, but as you know, the doctor can't come into the aircraft with me, so they can't properly prescribe any medication for me."

Even if he couldn't prevent Zhou Ling Yun's relentless pursuit and fierce attack, but at the very least, he could reduce the standard that he had for him to participate in night combats. Perhaps, he could even reduce the frequency of night trainings, all for the sake of creating the perfect opportunity to easily sneak out of the dormitory in the future.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling Yun merely revealed an indulgent smile after clearly hearing everything.

"Those flaws are not serious to me. Don't worry, in less than six months, I'll transform your so-called 'flaws' into your advantages. Child, trust me. I will forge you into a legend of the aviation world."

Although that was the first time Bai Luo Yin saw such a benevolent smile etched on Zhou Ling Yun's face, he instead only felt a bitter coldness slither from the top of his head, down to the tips of his toes. He silently muttered, have I said too much?

That noon, Zhou Ling Yun dragged Bai Luo Yin into a private dining room and presented him with a special treat.

"Eat!"

Bai Luo Yin lowered his head to take a peek at the table in front of him only to be confronted with two large pot full of only fatty meat! Not a single vein could be seen; everything was shining white fat granules.

"These... how am I supposed to eat it?" With just one look, Bai Luo Yin wanted to throw up then and there.

"Do I have to teach you?" Zhou Ling Yun picked a piece of fat and lifted it in front of Bai Luo Yin. "Look properly. First, you use the chopsticks to pick it up, then place it in your mouth and chew it into pieces. Look at my mouth carefully, you must chew it thoroughly before swallowing. Do you understand?"

Bai Luo Yin couldn't help but to swallow a mouth of saliva beforehand, "I understand."

Zhou Ling Yun smiled tenderly at him, "Then, start eating."

A surge of emotions churned inside Bai Luo Yin's stomach. He picked up a piece of fat, put it into his mouth and immediately swallowed it after only chewing twice. Upon seeing that, Zhou Ling Yun gripped his cheeks and solemnly ordered, "Don't swallow too quickly. You must chew it thoroughly or else your stomach will not be able to digest it properly."
