I Raised a Cub in the Military Academy Chapter 49.1

Chapter 49: In Every Sense part 1

Yun Yingzhi hung up the call with Jia Qingwan.

At noon, he had lunch with his three roommates.

The three of them asked him with concern why he had been continuously taking leaves of absence lately.

Yun Yingzhi frowned slightly. At this moment, his head was filled with the Star Network’s comments about the “Incredibly Pure Defense-type Source Weapon.” He didn’t even notice that many people in the cafeteria were looking at him with worried gazes.

Some students even whispered in low voices, saying that Yun Yingzhi was the most beautiful scenery at Fanse Academy. On the days they couldn’t see him, time seemed to pass with agonizing slowness, each day feeling like a year.

Others said that while you can know a person’s face, you cannot know their heart—for example, the source weapons created by that Red Peony Big Brother. Every skill effect was beautiful, and the tester he invited today was also lovely, but they were all thorns upon a flower. In contrast, only Yun Yingzhi remained consistent inside and out. He looked beautiful and harmless, and in reality, he truly was harmless. He was the only one whose exterior matched his interior.

This sentiment was quickly endorsed by everyone.

Yun Yingzhi said, “I’ve been in the hospital recently. My health isn’t great, so I need to recover.” After a pause, he added, “I actually wanted to take leave during the exam period too, but I didn’t want to do make-up exams during the holidays, so I came.”

Hearing this, Yu Feiwen looked at Yun Yingzhi with even more worry.

At the same time, others in the cafeteria overheard Yun Yingzhi’s words. They whispered privately: “Is the School Beauty’s health really that bad?”

“In his state, what is he going to do about the practical combat exam?”

“I feel so bad for him!”

Ji Xiaobo’s brow furrowed, his eyes full of anxiety. “Yingzhi, you mustn’t push yourself.”

Yun Yingzhi’s mind was still preoccupied with the general public’s misunderstanding of him on the Star Network. His beautiful eyes were filled with melancholy. Under the light reflecting off the cafeteria’s floor-to-ceiling windows, he looked like a masterpiece of “shattered beauty.” He gave off an aura even more fragile than the most precious porcelain.

Yun Yingzhi looked at Ji Xiaobo, smiled, and said, “It’s alright.”

In the eyes of the crowd, his smile was filled with bitterness.

What a heart-wrenching School Beauty.

In just one lunch break, news about Yun Yingzhi quickly spread through Fanse Academy’s Combat Department.

The students finally understood why the academy was willing to grant Yun Yingzhi leave—it was because he had an illness that required hospitalization.

Now, he was coming to take his exams despite being sick.

A group of students grew particularly angry, feeling that General Yun and Madam Yun were simply too much. Yun Yingzhi was clearly so fragile; why did they insist on forcing him into the Combat Department to suffer?

Some students even claimed that it was precisely because of General Yun and Madam Yun’s strictness that Yun Yingzhi had to attend exams even with a sick body.

Some people, unable to contain their indignation in this era of relative freedom of speech, put on their “vests” and went to various platforms to rage, saying General Yun and Madam Yun were “not human.”

Meanwhile, they grew even more worried about Yun Yingzhi’s situation.

As rumors spread, by the time they reached the end, some students were already saying that Yun Yingzhi had just undergone surgery. Written exams were one thing, but could he even handle a practical combat exam?

A second-year student declared, “We must protect Yingzhi!”

Many students agreed!

The students continued their exams.

In the afternoon, there was only one subject. Yun Yingzhi scratched his head, feeling like he was going bald from the stress. He felt the exam questions were incredibly difficult—harder than taking care of two little cubs.

Students in the examination hall frequently checked on Yun Yingzhi. Seeing his sorrowful expression, their hearts nearly broke. They thought to themselves that it was too much to ask him to take an exam while he was ill.

Suddenly, the proctor walked toward Yun Yingzhi.

Yun Yingzhi was stunned. He blinked his eyes and met the proctor’s gaze.

The proctor asked, “Yingzhi, is your body doing alright?”

Yun Yingzhi: “…”

My body? Body, body?

After a moment of bewilderment, Yun Yingzhi finally remembered. Yun Yinghui had used the excuse of “poor health” to get him leave so he could give birth to the two cubs.

After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, “Rest assured, I’m doing very well.”

The proctor let out a soft sigh and said, “Don’t force yourself, okay?”

Yun Yingzhi nodded again.

The students felt that Yun Yingzhi was truly too strong. If the same thing happened to them, they felt they would have already voluntarily gone to lie down in the infirmary.

Time slowly slipped away, and finally, the exams that had troubled the students all day were over.

It was only a little after three in the afternoon.

Yun Yinghui sent him a private message; he was already waiting in the academy’s underground parking lot with the two cubs.

Yun Yingzhi said a word to his three roommates and went to find Yun Yinghui.

As he was leaving, his roommates asked where he was going.

Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched, and he said, “…I have to go to the hospital.” He had to do physical check-ups every few days, and the two cubs did as well. Plus, Yun Yinghui didn’t feel at ease, so they hadn’t officially checked out of the hospital yet.

The three roommates looked at Yun Yingzhi with pained expressions.

Yun Yingzhi waved goodbye and went to find his brother.

What he didn’t know was that the moment he left, news that the “sick” Yun Yingzhi had to go back to the hospital for a follow-up after the exams spread through Fanse Academy once again.

He is so fragile yet so strong. How could anyone not like him?

Yun Yingzhi met up with Yun Yinghui.

The two little cubs had played all day and were now sprawled out asleep in the hovercar.

Yun Yingzhi picked up the two cubs. Leaning against the back seat, he also drifted off into a daze.

When he woke up, he was already lying on his hospital bed. It seemed Yun Yinghui had carried him up while he was sleeping.

He shifted his gaze to the two cubs.

The egg cub was behaving itself in the incubator, while the rabbit cub was sleeping on Yun Yinghui’s chest.

Just then, his terminal pinged with a notification. It was a call from Yu Feiwen.

Yun Yingzhi answered the call.

Through the video projection, Yu Feiwen and the others, who had called via speaker, saw the background of the hospital room.

The newly awakened Yun Yingzhi looked extremely weak.

Yu Feiwen said, “Yingzhi, we’re all very worried about you. We wanted to ask if you’re doing okay.”

Yun Yingzhi sat halfway up and said, “Don’t worry. I’m much better now.”

Yu Feiwen and the others thought to themselves that such a strong person like Yun Yingzhi would never take leave unless it was absolutely necessary. If he said he was “much better” now, just how terrible must his condition have been before?

After some further conversation, both sides hung up.

Suddenly, Yun Yingzhi remembered a very important point.

He had promised to manufacture source weapons for Ji Xiaobo, Jing Haomiao, and Wei Yuanqing, but he hadn’t made them yet.

Before, Yun Yingzhi had been quite poor, but recently he had “sheared a lot of wool.” Coupled with the money Yun Yinghui gave him after handing the space-limited source weapons to the Empire, he wasn’t exactly poor anymore. Of course, this money could be spent in minutes if he invested it into researching new source weapons, so he had to behave himself for the time being.

He would leave the Level 8 source weapon for later. For now, the priority was to manufacture suitable weapons for Ji Xiaobo and Jing Haomiao ahead of time.

Yun Yingzhi spoke to Yun Yinghui, intending to go to the Alvin Studio. He wanted to finish the two source weapons before the final practical combat exams. However, before he could leave, the two demanding little cubs seemed to wake up.

By this time, Yun Yingzhi was already putting on his jacket.

The rabbit cub pounced directly from Yun Yinghui onto Yun Yingzhi, his paws and legs hanging onto his body. Then, he nimbly climbed upward and ducked into his collar.

The egg cub followed suit, manipulating its space ability to also slip into Yun Yingzhi’s collar.

Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched as he fished the two cubs out.

The rabbit cub seemed angry; he let out several “awoos” at Yun Yingzhi, and tears began to fall pitter-patter.

The egg cub kept bouncing, expressing its dissatisfaction.

Yun Yinghui’s brow furrowed, feeling a bit of heartache. “Zhizhi, since you’re going to the Alvin Studio, just take them with you.”

Yun Yingzhi said, “I’m worried they’ll distract me.”

Yun Yinghui: “I’ll go along and look after them. I won’t let them disturb you.”

Yun Yingzhi hesitated, wiped the rabbit cub’s tears, and after some thought, agreed.

Yun Yinghui drove.
