After the pre-match pep talk, Bai Yue had to continue his patrol duties.
When he finished his last shift and returned to his dormitory, he found Shang Yufei waiting for him in front of the building.
Bai Yue took off his armband: “How long have you been waiting? Why didn’t you contact me beforehand?”
Shang Yufei didn’t speak but handed him a phone.
It was Du Qin’s phone.
Bai Yue understood.
Some things were inconvenient to discuss outside. He took Shang Yufei back to the dormitory.
After closing the door, Shang Yufei finally spoke: “The lock was unlocked, and the contents were investigated. However…”
He frowned, “The sender was very cautious. The email address was disposable; there were no other traces of use.”
Bai Yue opened the phone and went through the emails from beginning to end.
That person was indeed cautious. Even when delivering items, they never showed up in person. Instead, they sent Du Qin to a designated location to collect it.
The location changed each time, and it was always off-campus. The area was extremely crowded, making it impossible to verify his identity.
However, some details were noteworthy.
“Perhaps it’s related to the selection process,” Bai Yue said, picking up his phone. “The first email was sent shortly after the preliminary selection for the disciplinary team. He’s been monitoring Du Qin.”
And it seemed he knew Du Qin harbored resentment towards him, constantly provoking and enticing him in his words.
“You mean the disciplinary team?” Shang Yufei frowned.
“Although those idiots…” He realized something and changed his words, “…not including you.”
Bai Yue smiled, unconcerned.
Shang Yufei: “In short, those people are a bunch of stubborn fools. I don’t think any Federation spies have infiltrated them.”
Indeed, even if there were Federation agents among them, sending a student of similar age to do this would be very risky.
Regardless of ability, their minds were still unsettled. They might fail to infiltrate and instead be tempted.
During those days, due to the selection process, the disciplinary team had been openly monitoring them. But if they weren’t students from the disciplinary team, who else would know their every move?
After all, the disciplinary team hadn’t released any detailed information about either the preliminary or final selections.
Except for that organization.
Bai Yue pondered, “…masks.”
Hearing this, Shang Yufei’s eyes flickered, and he asked, “What masks?”
“During the final selection, I was saved by someone wearing a mask. They should also be students of Imperial First.”
Bai Yue asked, “Haven’t you heard of them?”
“I have.” Shang Yufei paused, “I’m not really interested.”
“The senior members of the disciplinary team seem to really dislike those people,” Bai Yue smiled. “I didn’t quite understand before, but now I think I understand a little.”
Shang Yufei was silent for a moment, then asked, “What about you?”
He said, “What do you think of those people?”
Hearing this, Bai Yue looked up from his phone and turned to Shang Yufei.
At night, the incessant chirping of cicadas could be faintly heard outside the window.
He was about to speak when the dormitory door suddenly opened.
The two of them paused at the same time and turned to look.
The person who came in was Mu Sihan. When he saw a stranger in the room, he frowned.
Bai Yue stood up: “You’re back? I called you at the mobilization meeting today, but you didn’t seem to hear me.”
He turned to the side, “Let me introduce you…”
“Your senior from high school,” Mu Sihan interrupted, his tone icy, “I’ve met him before.”
Bai Yue then remembered that they had indeed met once during the club recruitment.
Shang Yufei also didn’t expect that the alpha who had been hanging out with Bai Yue these past few days was actually this person.
He had seen this person on Lia Star before and thought he was an omega.
However, the other party didn’t seem very welcoming.
Shang Yufei stood up: “Let’s contact each other later.”
He grabbed his coat from the back of the chair and walked out. As he passed Mu Sihan, his gaze fell on him.
Both his hair and eye color exuded a chilling aura. He was completely different from Bai Yue.
The other person also looked over. When their eyes met, it was as if an invisible spark was ignited.
Shang Yufei paused and turned to face the man: “I heard your name is Mu something?”
He smirked, “Thank you for taking care of Bai Yue during this time. As his senior, I will take responsibility for his training from now on.”
Mu Sihan narrowed his eyes unhappily.
One side was like a raging fire; the other was like a deep iceberg, icy and bone-chilling.
The dormitory door slammed shut.
Bai Yue watched Mu Sihan walk in, and the other threw his backpack on the chair, which contained his training clothes.
“Sorry,” Bai Yue said, “He might be in a bad mood today.”
He didn’t quite understand why Shang Yufei had left with those provocative words before leaving.
Mu Sihan didn’t reply and walked towards the bathroom door.
He paused when his hand touched the handle, and looked up at him: “When I said before that I was cancelling the training, you agreed so easily. So it was because you had a backup plan.”
A backup plan? Was he referring to Shang Yufei?
Bai Yue was stunned.
In his memory, the other party shouldn’t be the type to care about such things.
Seeing Bai Yue’s expression, Mu Sihan seemed to regret saying those words. He looked away: “Never mind.”
He turned the doorknob and was about to go in when he heard the person behind him say:
“Although we’ve been practicing together these past few days, we haven’t had any combat training. Because that person… might not be serious.”
In addition, he had accumulated enough military merits to be able to use the virtual training ground.
Bai Yue: “I didn’t mean to take advantage of you.”
“…” Mu Sihan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his expression somewhat complicated.
After a moment, he turned his head.
“I know.”
“…Sorry.”
