Chapter 7 Towel

Lin Jun stayed by the instructor’s side like a mascot the whole time, watching everyone else do their morning exercises with great effort.

The intensity of the academy’s morning exercises was high. Besides running, there were many other physical activities. By the time it was over, most people were already panting, and some people’s clothes were soaked with sweat.

As soon as the instructor shouted to dismiss them, the crowd, who had been standing upright just a moment before, collapsed as if their bones had been removed.

The instructor made a successful exit and turned to leave.

No sooner had the instructor left than the students, who were still slumped on the ground, excitedly scrambled to their feet. Before long, Lin Jun the mascot was surrounded.

“Lin Jun, are you really pregnant?”

“How many months? When are you due?”

“Is it a boy or a girl?”

“When the little one is born, can I get to be a godfather?”

“Get out of here, if there’s a godfather, it’ll be me.”

The chattering voices surrounded him, and the veins on Lin Jun’s forehead throbbed as his ears rapidly turned red at a visible rate.

General Lin, with all his lifelong glory, never expected that he would one day become a pregnant man being cared for and teased.

Looking at these classmates with their innocent faces, Lin Jun couldn’t lash out, so he could only glare angrily at Ye Mingyuan.

If looks could kill, Ye Mingyuan would probably have been sliced into a thousand pieces.

Ye Mingyuan stood not far away, sweat on his brow and his chest soaked. But even so, he didn’t look embarrassed; instead, he had a unique kind of sexiness.

“There are forty minutes left before the first class.” Ye Mingyuan walked over slowly, helping Lin Jun out of the encirclement with a casual sentence.

“What class is first today?”

“I think it’s Tactics Basic Course, Old Wang’s class.”

“Damn!” The boys wailed, immediately scattering like birds and beasts.

In these short forty minutes, they had to shower and change, eat breakfast, and then rush to the teaching area for the first class. What was even more terrifying was that this class was taught by Old Wang, the head of the department, and no one dared to be late.

Seeing that everyone around him had left, Ye Mingyuan walked up to Lin Jun’s side: “Let’s go, let’s go back and change.”

Lin Jun didn’t get up. He looked up at Ye Mingyuan for a good while, then suddenly stood up and threw a punch straight at Ye Mingyuan.

But Ye Mingyuan seemed to have been prepared for it, and he easily reached out and caught the punch.

“You did it on purpose.” Lin Jun gritted his teeth.

Logically speaking, Ye Mingyuan had already asked the instructor for leave in the morning, so Lin Jun didn’t have to come to morning exercises at all. But Ye Mingyuan didn’t say anything, letting Lin Jun run to morning exercises without knowing anything, and as a result, he followed the whole way like a mascot, and also caused almost everyone in the class to know about his pregnancy.

With his popularity in the school, this news would probably be known throughout the entire school in less than two days.

“Are you sure you want to fight here?” Ye Mingyuan’s expression was as usual.

Lin Jun raised an eyebrow, and asked back, “Can’t I?”

Who says fighting isn’t allowed on the training ground?!

Ye Mingyuan leaned close to Lin Jun’s ear and lowered his voice: “Domestic violence is against the law.”

Domestic violence…

Lin Jun was stunned.

Regardless of whether he admitted it or not, legally speaking, he and Ye Mingyuan were partners, and they even had a child. If the two of them fought here at this time, and someone reported them, they might be grabbed by the Inspector Team and locked up in a small dark room.

The next day, the headlines of all the academies would be about him and Ye Mingyuan being arrested for domestic violence. He couldn’t afford to lose face like that.

Ye Mingyuan guessed what Lin Jun was thinking, and he slowly released his hand that was holding Lin Jun.

“…” Lin Jun’s fist was awkwardly raised in mid-air.

Ye Mingyuan: “Still want to fight?”

“…” Lin Jun glared at him with a dark face.

Damn it, why was he partners with this bastard?! Wouldn’t that mean that if he wanted to have a friendly match with Ye Mingyuan in the future, it would also count as domestic violence?!

Lin, who loved to fight, suddenly felt irritable. You have to pick your opponent when you fight, and there weren’t many people who could match him in strength. Now, one of them had become a family member.

Lin Jun angrily turned around and walked towards the dormitory building.

Behind him, Ye Mingyuan’s eyebrows imperceptibly curved into a smile.

—

“You did it on purpose?”

When the message was sent to the terminal, Ye Mingyuan was in the bathroom taking a shower.

The water was gushing from the faucet, but there wasn’t a single wisp of steam in the bathroom.

Ye Mingyuan was taking a cold shower.

The icy water washed over his skin, instantly cooling down his muscles that were burning after exercise, and filling him with an unspeakable refreshing feeling.

He glanced at the translucent light screen through the curtain of water, and his fingertip twitched slightly: “Yeah.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, when did you become so childish.”

“Someone posted on the academy forum, do you want to block it?”

Ye Mingyuan reached out and pushed aside the wet hair hanging over his forehead, turned off the faucet, and started replying with his body dripping wet.

“Block it, but it’s not the right time yet.”

He was indeed deliberately declaring his sovereignty over Lin Jun in front of everyone.

Although Ye Mingyuan seemed very calm, Lin Jun’s “amnesia” still made him feel a trace of unease and panic, which was why he was so eager to deepen the bond between Lin Jun and him.

But even so, he didn’t want everyone to know about Lin Jun’s pregnancy.

This news had to be blocked, but he had to find a legitimate and inconspicuous way to do it.

“Release the news about Ye Wenxing as soon as possible.”

“…You’re really using any means necessary to chase after someone.”

Ye Mingyuan’s brow furrowed slightly, and he didn’t reply to the message again. Instead, he directly sent a communication request.

The communication request flashed twice, indicating that the other party had rejected it.

Ye Mingyuan pursed his lips and sent another one.

The other party rejected it again.

Before Ye Mingyuan could send a third request, the other party’s message had already been sent: “Boss, I was wrong! Your methods are especially legitimate! Really! I’ll contact the vice-captain right away, and the news will be leaked out by tomorrow night at the latest.”

Ye Mingyuan’s fingers twitched slightly, and he was about to send a third call request.

Just then, the bathroom door was knocked three times, and Lin Jun’s voice came through the glass door: “Are you done washing? I need to use the toilet.”

There was a rustling sound in the bathroom, and Lin Jun leaned against the bathroom door and waited, fiddling with his terminal. The translucent light screen showed a forum.

There was an exclusive forum for the Imperial Military Academy on the Star Network, where students could exchange ideas and share their academic lives. But on the forum, the most popular posts were not academic articles, but gossip threads.

Lin Jun’s father was one of the Empire’s five marshals, stationed in the Third Star Region all year round. As Marshal Lin’s son, Lin Jun had been the focus of everyone’s attention since he entered the school.

As a popular senior at the Military Academy, Lin Jun was often the subject of discussion in forum threads in his previous life, but most of these discussions were mainly about admiration.

Lin Jun scrolled through the forum for a while, but the “pregnancy post” that he thought would appear didn’t appear. Instead, the forum homepage was all about the combat mecha that had appeared in the living area yesterday afternoon.

[Damn! Someone put a combat mecha in the living area!]

[No picture, no truth, the poster came with a picture.][Picture]

[This mecha is too gorgeous! Which rich guy at the school is it?]

[It’s probably Marshal Lin’s gift to Lin Jun. I can’t think of anyone else.]

[Breaking news! The Inspector Team is here and has entered Dorm A, Room 605.]

[As expected, it’s Lin Jun. Will he get beaten up by Marshal Lin when he gets back? Hahahaha.]

Lin Jun was speechless as he watched them guess the matter on his own.

He had also seen the mecha picture posted on the forum. Lin Jun recognized this mecha. In his previous life, Ye Mingyuan used this mecha most often. This mecha had made countless famous military exploits with Ye Mingyuan, and was known as the “Blue Battleship” by the people of the Empire.

What did this have to do with him? How could they pin this on him?

[Latest intelligence: The Inspector Team took Ye Mingyuan away [dog head emoji]]

[???? Ye Mingyuan? Isn’t he just a commoner? How could he have such a luxurious mecha.]

[Could it be a gift from Lin Jun?]

[Such a luxurious mecha, given away so casually?!]

Lin Jun was suddenly stunned when he saw this.

That’s right, Ye Mingyuan hadn’t been recognized by the Ye family yet. Right now, he was just an illegitimate child of the Ye family who was living outside. Where would he get a mecha?!

Could it be that the “Blue Battleship” wasn’t given to Ye Mingyuan by the Ye family, but that he already owned it? Then what exactly was Ye Mingyuan’s identity right now?

Lin Jun sucked in a breath of cold air.

As he was thinking, he heard a “click” sound from the door lock beside him, and the bathroom door was pushed open from the inside: “Go use the toilet.”

Lin Jun came back to his senses. He quickly put away the light screen in front of him and turned around to enter the bathroom.

But he didn’t expect that this turn would almost send him crashing into a naked chest.

The skin on his fingertips was icy cold and still had a bit of undried moisture.

If he squeezed it, it seemed…a little hard.

“…” It took Lin Jun two seconds to realize what he was doing.

The string in Lin Jun’s brain snapped with a “click.” He took two steps back in disbelief and stared at Ye Mingyuan: “Why aren’t you wearing any clothes?!”

“…” Ye Mingyuan pointed to the towel around his waist: “I am.”

Lin Jun: “…” Could there really be such a shameless person in the world?!

There was a hint of a smile in Ye Mingyuan’s sea-blue eyes as he moved out of the doorway: “I forgot to bring my clothes.”

Lin Jun expressed his suspicion with his eyes.

Ye Mingyuan: “It’s true.”

Lin Jun turned his head and looked at the empty bathroom with no clothes in it. He reluctantly believed Ye Mingyuan’s statement.

He turned his head, not wanting to see it: “Go put on your clothes.”

Ye Mingyuan nodded.

The toilet door slammed shut in front of him, and Ye Mingyuan turned around and took out another set of clean clothes from the closet.

Even though he was pursing his lips, the corners of Ye Mingyuan’s mouth still had a suppressed smile.

He had just thrown a set of clean clothes into the dirty clothes hamper.

Those little cubs who had never been in love didn’t understand anything. This was what it meant to use any means necessary to chase after someone.

Even if Lin Jun had lost his memory, he would make Lin Jun fall in love with him again.

The author has something to say:

Humble Little Ye, resorting to seduction to chase after his wife.

Lin Jun: Mom! I want to change dorms!

Someone Hong: Don’t even think about it, it’s impossible.
