Chapter 58 - Temporarily Shifting the Conflict

Start from the beginning
                                    

Waving his hand, Bai Luo Yin quickly said, "Don't talk about it that. Just hearing that word makes me want to vomit."

Without saying anything, Gu Yang casually walked out of the kitchen only to reemerge a moment later.

"Eat this now."

Bai Luo Yin's gaze froze on the two pills in Gu Yang's hand.

"Hurry up and take it so that you can continue cooking!"

You are indeed ruthless, Bai Luo Yin thought and fiercely gritted his teeth behind Gu Yang's back.

When he smelled something burnt, Gu Yang walked into the kitchen only to find Bai Luo Yin—leaning forward on the kitchen counter next to the stove—fast asleep. Gu Yang rarely had any kind of virtuous intentions. What he had given Bai Luo Yin a moment ago was not antacid tablets to alleviate his stomachache but rather, sleeping pills that would allow him to rest a bit earlier.

However, just as Gu Yang was about to carry Bai Luo Yin into the room, the training alarm suddenly went off. Bai Luo Yin abruptly woke up and he ran out with eyes that had yet to be fully open.

As it turned out, earlier during the afternoon training session, Zhou Ling Yun had intentionally ordered someone to install a special siren in Bai Luo Yin's dorm. If Zhou Ling Yun wanted to train him alone, all he had to do was press that special siren. That way, only Bai Luo Yin's room will go off.

As a result, when Bai Luo Yin arrived at the training ground, he was the only person again.

Lucky there's a fighter jet, Bai Luo Yin thought as he let out a sigh of relieve. It looks like tonight's mission will mainly be in the fighter jet. That's great...that meant there was no need for him to overly exert his strength.  

Wait a second, why is there a long rope secured to the bottom of the fighter jet?

"Since you told me last time that your waist was also one of your flaws, we will properly cure it. Tie that rope around your waist and pull the jet with what strength you have there. I won't ask too much from you. It's really up to you now. You only have to pull it fifty meters, and once you've completely finish this mission tonight, you can go back to sleep."

Bai Luo Yin, "....."

After nearly two hours of strenuous work, Bai Luo Yin only managed to pull the jet less than two meters. But even then, a red, aching burn mark from the rope had already appeared on his waist.  

Zhou Ling Yun—who rarely showed any kindness to anyone, much less the apple of his eyes—said a few merciful words, "Let's end it here for now, you can back and rest first then continue with the remaining 48 meters tomorrow."

However, Bai Luo Yin remained stubborn. "No, I will finish dragging it all 50 meters before I go back to sleep."

Raising one of his brows, Zhou Ling Yun suddenly yawned. "Then I'm going to bed, you can stay here and drag it alone."

Once he saw Zhou Ling Yun's silhouette retreated far into the distance, Bai Luo Yin sneakily crept back to his dorm. The only difference was that, he did not return to sleep but rather, he had another motive.

Meanwhile, Gu Yang was leaning against the headboard having a smoke when he heard the door crack open. He lifted his head and squint his eyes to look at Bai Luo Yin's approaching figure.

"Did you finish your mission?"

"Not yet." Bai Luo Yin quickly gulped down a few mouthful of water before he spoke but his voice could not at all conceal his exhaustion. "The Wing Commander allowed me to rest for ten minutes then I have to go back and continue."
