Chapter 26: Conflict part 1
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched frantically. He couldn’t understand at all—what on earth had he done that day to make so many students sincerely believe he was so formidable?
“What a pity. I had things to do and couldn’t attend the mixer, so I missed the chance to see Prince Elvis’s little pet in its heroic battle stance.”
Yun Yingzhi couldn’t imagine it. Even though he was stronger than an average person as a little white rabbit, it was impossible for him to have anything resembling a “heroic battle stance.”
Another student chimed in, “You don’t know? Ever since that battle-rabbit appeared at the Yaoming Battle Arena, the sales rate of pet rabbits across all major Star Network platforms has been skyrocketing. It hit a new peak yesterday!”
“Exactly, it seems a student filmed a few of the rabbit’s most heroic moments.”
Yun Yingzhi barely managed to keep himself from collapsing.
Although he didn’t know exactly what had happened that day, he was certain it wasn’t anything good.
Right—anything involving Prince Elvis was bound to be trouble.
No!
He couldn’t think about it anymore. The rabbit that day wasn’t him. It wasn’t him! He would never admit it, nor would he let anyone find a clue.
Yun Yingzhi forced himself to stay calm, though his heart was weeping blood.
To avoid his expression crumbling along with his mental state, he decided he needed to look on the bright side.
Think—had anything good happened lately? Well, he felt he was somewhat impressive. He had single-handedly caused pet rabbit sales to skyrocket across entire shopping platforms; even celebrity endorsements weren’t usually this effective.
So, what exactly had he done in his second form? How could it have such a powerful effect?
Finally, amidst Yun Yingzhi’s confusion, several students began recounting the events of that night.
They described the “cute pet rabbit” as exceptionally fierce. It had latched onto its opponent with its tiny paws and feet, then—through some inexplicable, logic-defying method—had slammed the person directly into the ground.
And not just once, but multiple times!
Such a fierce little rabbit.
Such a powerful little rabbit.
Such an adorable little rabbit.
In a state of agonizing tension, the students eventually parted ways, each returning to their respective dormitories.
When Yun Yingzhi reached the dorm, his three roommates were already there.
After chatting for a bit, Yun Yingzhi grabbed his pajamas and went into the bathroom.
After washing up, he emerged in his pajamas, only to find his three roommates staring at him in unison.
Yun Yingzhi hung his discarded uniform in the wardrobe.
Suddenly, he felt something was off. The dorm was eerily quiet.
He belatedly realized that the three people in the room were all staring at him.
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched. He looked at them blankly, and for a moment, he thought his roommates’ expressions were terrifying.
Yun Yingzhi instinctively took a step back, watching them cautiously. He asked tentatively, “…What’s wrong with you guys?” What he really wanted to ask was: What did I do wrong in the few minutes I was in the bathroom?
Ji Xiaobo frowned and asked, “…Yingzhi, your neck.”
Yun Yingzhi’s pupils constricted violently. He finally knew what it was—the hickeys!
Compared to the Fanse Academy uniform, his pajamas were loose-fitting and exposed a large portion of his neck. Naturally, there was no way to hide the marks left behind from the night of debauchery he couldn’t remember.
Yun Yingzhi’s cheeks instantly turned crimson. He unnaturally averted his gaze from Ji Xiaobo.
Yu Feiwen asked with a frown, “…Are you dating someone?”
Jing Haomiao added, “That person… seems a bit wild?”
Yun Yingzhi’s face, already as red as blood, flushed even deeper upon hearing the last comment. He patted his cheeks with both hands and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. I’m not dating anyone. I…”
Before he could finish, Ji Xiaobo asked, “If you aren’t dating, then… was it a one-night stand?”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Yun Yingzhi: “…………”
His lips parted and closed, but he was at a loss for words.
If it wasn’t a relationship, was it a one-night stand?
He didn’t feel like it was.
But if it wasn’t a one-night stand, what was it?
Seeing Yun Yingzhi’s reaction, the three roommates guessed that the truth was different from what they had imagined. They closed in on him, pressing him for answers. What exactly had happened yesterday?
Yun Yingzhi’s scalp went numb.
They had been roommates for over a year and had always gotten along harmoniously. After a moment of hesitation, Yun Yingzhi used the simplest terms to describe what had happened. “…Well, I drank too much yesterday and don’t remember anything. When I woke up,” he took a deep breath, his face a complex mask of emotions, “it was just like this.”
Out of shame and indignation, Yun Yingzhi’s cheeks, earlobes, and neck—any exposed skin—were flushed bright red. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, making him look weak, helpless, and incredibly pitiful.
Undoubtedly, he was clearly inexperienced in this regard.
The three roommates had known Yun Yingzhi for over a year. Based on their understanding of him, they guessed that yesterday’s encounter…
Was likely Yun Yingzhi’s first experience.
The trio’s fists tightened.
Yu Feiwen clenched his hands and asked, “Yingzhi, tell me. Who was that person?”
The three of them glared with eyes full of fury. It was one thing for Yun Yingzhi to get drunk, but the person who did this to him was absolutely detestable.
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched. Seeing their anger, he didn’t dare tell the whole truth. He said, “I don’t know. I have no memory of yesterday at all.” He added, “When I woke up today, I was the only one left.”
Hearing this, the three became even angrier!
They felt the person was despicable, taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable state and then fleeing while Yun Yingzhi was still asleep. This person was likely afraid of retaliation; even if he was unfavored, he was still a child of the General’s Manor.
They continued to press Yun Yingzhi for details about yesterday. The questioning made a chill run down Yun Yingzhi’s spine. He felt that if this continued, the truth would eventually come out.
Yun Yingzhi immediately changed the subject, looking at Yu Feiwen. “Feiwen, how is the weapon the manufacturer I know made for you? Is it easy to use?”
Yu Feiwen, the one being questioned: “…”
Almost instantly, the fire of rage in Yu Feiwen’s eyes turned into dazed dots.
Yun Yingzhi nudged him, looking expectant. “Feiwen, how is it?”
Yu Feiwen: “…”
Seeing Yun Yingzhi’s expectant face and considering the “tragic experience” he’d had yesterday, Yu Feiwen found himself unable to tell the truth. He had originally planned to send the weapon to the Association for appraisal, but he’d forgotten. He hadn’t even had the chance to use it yet.
Wait—where did he put the thing?
The gift box was gone. Was the source weapon in the pocket of the clothes he’d worn yesterday?
Those clothes were already in the laundry basket and would be sent to the laundry room in a few days.
Not daring to tell the truth, Yu Feiwen thought quickly and said, “Weren’t we at the mixer yesterday? I slept all morning today, so I haven’t had time to test the source weapon’s effects yet.”
Yun Yingzhi nodded and sat back on his bed. “No rush.”
Ji Xiaobo and Jing Haomiao looked at Yun Yingzhi, then at Yu Feiwen.
As if remembering something, Yun Yingzhi looked at Jing Haomiao and said, “Haomiao, Xiaobo said he’s in no hurry. You can tell me what requirements you have for a source weapon, and I can pass them on to the manufacturer.”
Jing Haomiao said immediately, “I’m like Xiaobo; I’m in no rush for now. I need to think about it first!”
Yun Yingzhi: “…No rush?”
Jing Haomiao said with a look of sincerity, “Right, no rush. The source weapon I’m using now is decent. I’ll let you know after I’ve thought about what I need.” He added, “You can have the manufacturer make someone else’s weapon first.”
Yun Yingzhi nodded and replied with an “Alright.”
He thought to himself that the difficulty of making Wei Yuanqing’s weapon was quite high, so he’d set that aside for now. His main focus was the weapon he wanted to give to his brother.
At the thought of being able to help his brother, Yun Yingzhi’s heart filled with anticipation.
He imagined the joyful expression on Yun Yinghui’s face when he received the gift…
He could hardly wait.
Lying on his bed, he opened his personal terminal, tapped on his design blueprints, and found the spatial-restriction source weapon he had half-finished. He began to refine the details.
The more detailed the design, the higher the success rate during the final manufacturing process.
He eventually drifted off to sleep. In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.
Yun Yingzhi and his three roommates got up together and headed listlessly for morning training.
When morning training ended, the four went to the cafeteria.
Ji Xiaobo said, “You guys go get the food first. Get mine while you’re at it. I’m going to the restroom.”
Ji Xiaobo left, while the other three went to line up.
