Chapter 163

[What’s the deal?]

[What on earth happened?)

[What are they talking about?]

Why do I feel the vibe is a bit off?]

[Humph, what’s so off about it? I don’t see any problem!]

“Bad news!” That’s when Eileenspoke up.

Eileen felt that Egbert was being insincere.

Where she said he was wrong, he was indeed wrong, right?

Did he still think he was in the right?

Eileen was livid. She accused, “Egbert, you should ask yourself, haven’t I been good to you all the

time?”

Egbert replied instantly, “Absolutely! You’re terrific.”

Eileen widened her eyes, “Then why didn’t you tell me you know how to fight? When we were in the

jungle, I was worried about you getting hurt, so I was always assisting and protecting you. But…”

Egbert quickly said, “Alright, alright, it’s my fault! Didn’t I tell you just now?”

“Just now?” Eileen snorted coldly and turned her head away.

All Egbert could do was walk over, stand in front of her, and patiently explain, “My dad’s a soldier, you

know that. You’ve met him, right?”

Eileen was taken aback. She had indeed met Mr. Reed. He was even a Marshal.

Being from a military family, Egbert must have been trained

martial arts from an early age. How could the son of a Marshal not know how to fight?

Eileen bit her lip and looked at Egbert again. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a loud crash.

The cameraman beside them had knocked over his equipment.

He quickly corrected his camera pole, looking panicked. When he lifted his head and found Eileen and

Egbert staring at him, he was sweating bullets and quickly apologized, “I’m so sorry…”

Eileen casually replied, “Be careful.”

[Careful? How more careful can I be when you drop a bombshell that you two have met each other’s

parents?]

[So unfair! Just make your relationship public already!]

[Girls, don’t jump to conclusions. Friends can meet each other’s families too. It’s normal!]

[If you all think it’s so normal, why are the male fans stuttering all of a sudden?]

[We’re not stuttering!]

[Male fans are getting anxious! Male fans are jealous!]

[Shut up!]

[Why haven’t Egbert’s fans shown up yet? Don’t they feel jealous of Eileen?]

[I’m here! Let me just log into my account as an Egbert fan and I’ll start protesting right away!]

When the cameraman disrupted their confrontation, Eileen remembered that the camera was still

rolling.

It wasn’t appropriate to discuss Mr. Reed in front of the camera, so after a moment’s silence, she asked

Egbert, “Mr. Reed, can I go now?”

Egbert frowned. He looked at her for a while before finally saying, “Sure.”

Eileen turned and left.

Then Egbert said, “There will be grilled chicken wings in the canteen tonight. Should I save some for

you?”

Eileen’s steps faltered.

She turned to look at Egbert, her face serious, “Egbert, do you really think you can buy me off with

chicken wings? Just because I love food doesn’t mean I lack principles.”

Seeing she was really angry, Egbert could only apologize, “I’m sorry. I won’t save any chicken wings for

you tonight.”

Eileen had nothing to say.

After training, it was dinner time.

Eileen was almost faint with anger when she saw that Egbert really hadn’t saved any chicken wings for

her.

She picked at her dinner sulkily. Thinking about the chicken wings, she ate much slower than usual.

On the way back to the dorm, Eddie and Colin were walking together. Seeing Eileen’s glum face, Eddie

asked, “What’s wrong?”

Eileen was too embarrassed to say she was craving chicken wings, so she just said, “I’m thinking.”

“About what?”

“About why you talk so much and why your voice is so annoying!”

After venting her anger on Eddie, Eileen quickened her pace and dashed back to the girls’ dorm.

Eddie turned to Colin and asked, “What did I do to upset her this time?”

Colin didn’t know either and just shrugged.

Then Eddie spotted a few people in the distance.

He waved and shouted, “Lucas!”

Upon seeing Eddie, Lucas immediately turned to run.

Eddie rushed over, grabbed Lucas by the neck from behind, almost knocking him over.

He laughed, “Gotcha! You dared to pretend you didn’t know me this morning!”

After regaining his balance, Lucas said to his friends, “You guys go ahead.”

His friends glanced at Eddie, then at Lucas, and left without a word.

When they were gone, Lucas pushed Eddie’s hand away, rubbed his neck, and asked, “What do you

want?”

Eddie hugged Lucas again.

He laughed, “We must be fated! We met last time and bumped into each other again. Whether you like

it or not, you have to take care of me.”

Lucas glanced at him, “If you run into trouble, ask the coach for help.”

Eddie snorted, “I choose you! Which dorm are you in? I haven’t met my roommates yet. Maybe we’ll

end up in the same dorm!”

Lucas sneered, “Do you think I’m Elaine Lopez? Why would I volunteer to share a dorm with you?”

“Elaine?”

Meanwhile, at the girls’ dorm entrance.

Eileen stood expressionless as if she had been kidnapped with Elaine clinging tightly to her.

“Auntie Eileen! Are you happy to see me? I’m not from this military area, but I knew you were coming

so I requested a transfer! Auntie Eileen, I missed you so much! Did you miss me?”

Eileen struggled to push Elaine away, but Elaine didn’t let go and enthusiastically said, “Auntie Eileen,

we’re in the same dorm! Which bed do you want? Let’s see if our beds are next to each other!”

Eileen finally shook off Elaine, entering the dorm with an indifferent look on her face

In the dorm, besides Elaine, there were three other people.

These four, including Elaine, were Eileen’s roommates.

One of them was a short-haired female soldier who stood up and introduced herself.

She’s the squad leader, really friendly.

Eileen also introduced herself.

After getting to know each other a bit, the short-haired girl cautiously asked Eileen, “What are they…

doing? I tried talking to them earlier but they ignored me.” Eileen glanced at Edna who was hard at

work writing something on the table and said nonchalantly, “They’re just being rude, don’t mind them.

They’re writing self-criticisms.”

The girl was a bit surprised, “Self-criticisms? They made mistakes already?”

Eileen didn’t say anything more. She picked up her toiletries and got ready to take a shower.

Elaine immediately tagged along, wanting to shower with Eileen.

The bathrooms were individual stalls. Eileen shooed away Elaine who wanted to enter the same stall

with her.

After her shower, Eileen came out with her hair stili wet.

As soon as she got out, she ran into the short-haired squad leader.

She was looking for Eileen. As soon as she saw Eileen, the squad leader blurted out, Someone came

looking for you earlier, said Aaron wanted to see you in the instructor’s office.”

Aaron was the female assistant instructor from earlier.

Eileen furrowed her brows, “Right now?”

The squad leader replied, “Yes, ASAP. You…didn’t do anything wrong, did you?”

Eileen was still frowning. She did screw up, but wasn’t everything already taken care of?

Eileen took a deep breath and said, “I’ll find out soon.”

When Eileen rushed to the instructor’s office, Aaron was not there.

All she saw was Egbert sitting on the office couch…

Upon seeing Eileen, Egbert leaned forward slightly, pointing at the thermos on the table, “Should still be

warm.”
