The weather had turned cold. The man was wearing a stiff-collared dark gray long coat, a dark-colored shirt, and straight black trousers. His dressing made him seem even taller, and his posture more upright.
He was dressed simply, but it had to be said that he was very attractive.
It was Li Beinian’s first time seeing Mu Xichen dressed like this. Her heart skipped a beat.
She quickly averted her gaze and tried not to look his way.
But even if she didn’t look, she couldn’t stop the others from oogling.
Wang Shao was the most excited. She stood up straight and mumbled, “Oh my god, he’s so handsome even when he’s not in a suit. Oh no, I think I’m going to explode!”
“Yes!” Guan Yueyun’s face was flushed as she stared at Mu Xichen enthusiastically.
Zhao You’er and Li Xueqing were whispering something to each other.
At the same time, Li Beinian sensed the burning gaze of someone from behind, it was as though it was boring two holes through her.
Without a doubt, it was Feng Yiran.
Ever since that incident, Feng Yiran had been behaving like a plete stranger.
Whenever he saw her, he would take a detour.
Li Beinian had heard Zhao You’er mention this to Wang Shao a few times.
It seemed… Feng Yiran had been secretly crying in the dormitory. This news had spread throughout the team.
Li Beinian felt guilty, and she knew what she had to do.
She feigned ignorance, and the days passed.
“Today’s fighting practice is the same as what you’ve been doing the past few days. You can choose your own opponents. It’s not limited to those in the group.” Yang Dawu’s voice was loud and full of vigor. “Of course, if you have the guts and aren’t afraid of being beaten, you can challenge us directly.”
Bai Yuan interrupted cheekily. “We will always be at your service!”
The crowd was getting bolder and booed them when they heard this.
“I have a question then!” Suddenly, a loud voice came from the crowd. Everyone looked over and saw that it was Feng Yiran.
His expression was resolute. He looked straight ahead and said, “Can I challenge the person with the highest military rank here?”
The highest military rank, in the past.
With those words, everyone’s attention turned to Mu Xichen.
“I heard that Leader Mu used to be a Major General!” Feng Yiran looked at Mu Xichen. “I also heard that you have outstanding military achievements, are upright in character, and have extraordinary skills. Whoever spars with you will definitely improve very quickly.”
Mu Xichen raised his eyebrow in surprise and looked at the man calmly.
Yang Dawu frowned slightly and said, “Feng Yiran, don’t overestimate yourself.”
“No one in the team is his match,” Marlin said with a straight face. “He’s the captain and the strongest.”
“Is that so?” Feng Yiran looked doubtful. “Leader Mu is too young. I’m a little suspicious.”
“Chi!”
“Hahaha!”
“Damn, this kid is bold.” Bai Yuan rubbed his hands together. “The grass on the grave of the previous person who said the same thing is taller than you now.”
Of course, this was a joke.
Everyone burst into laughter. They looked at Feng Yiran mockingly and then at Mu Xichen, who had always been a mysterious man.
Mu Xichen subtly smiled and said, “Sure.”
“Boss, I don’t think it’s a good idea?” Bai Yuan said deliberately. “What if you crippled him?”
Feng Yiran could tell that Bai Yuan was trying to scare him, but undeterred, he continued, “I just want to hit him. I’m not afraid of being crippled.”
“Damn, this kid has guts!”
“Wait, he said he wanted to hit him, not challenge him. Tsk tsk!”
