Lu Shan nodded and got up to prepare the ingredients.

Shen Xis lips curled into a smile and said, What? Afraid of tasting my mothers cooking? Tell me, if I were to tell my mom that you dislike her food, what would happen to you?

Chen Yu gave Shen Xi a beseeching look and pleaded, Xi, please, you cant be so cruel.

l could keep mum, but promise me that you wont give me red roses anymore, Shen Xi said.

Chen Yu contemplated for a moment and decisively said, Okay, I promise. He could give her blue roses instead. It would be romantic too.

Shen Xi nodded contently and said, Then Ill show mercy and do a good deed today.

Chen Yus gaze locked onto Shen Xi. He spoke sincerely and seriously, Xi, youre really nice to me. Shall we be in a relations.h.i.+p?

Shen Xi turned her head away once again, avoiding Chen Yu t s pa.s.sionate gaze, and whispered, Chen Yu, you know Im not attracted to you.

A sigh of disappointment escaped Chen Yus lips as he sadly uttered, Xi, do you know? Youve rejected me nine hundred and ninety-nine times.

Surprised, Shen Xi exclaimed, You kept count? Are you kidding? That many times? Thats almost once every few days?

With a forlorn expression in his eyes, Chen Yu replied, Ive been confessing to you in my dreams, and youve been rejecting me in my dreams too.

Shen Xi did not know what to say, so she simply stuffed a piece of fruit into her mouth, trying to avoid the topic.

Chen Yus face brightened up and said, 1 1 was lying to you. How could I possibly keep count? I dont even remember how many times Ive confessed.

Shen Xi glared at Chen Yu, feeling annoyed, but in her mind, she was indeed wondering just how many times this fool had confessed.

Hidden away from Shen Xs eyes was the card Chen Yu had taken out from the roses. It clearly read, l like you. Can we be together?

Chen Yu let out a long sigh. It had been more than nine hundred and ninety-nine times. Every bouquet of roses he gave her contained such a card, but Shen Xi never responded. It left him feeling a touch disheartened.

He wondered when Shen Xi would finally pick up the card and say, Yes, I do!

At that moment, he would be the happiest person in the world.

After dinner, Shen Xi escorted Chen Yu to the door as instructed, then returned to her bedroom to prepare for her thesis and final project.

Meanwhile, in a high-level room at the Imperial Capital Military University, the princ.i.p.al wore a serious expression as he said, Several students from the Specialized Energy Technology and Ammunition Engineering departments have been detained in Country C. The higher-ups have sent someone to negotiate the release, but we need to be prepared to a.s.sist in bringing them back at any time.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hua, the Director of Education, furrowed his brows and exclaimed, Whats going on in Country C? Wasnt this supposed to be an exchange? Why are they detaining our students?

The indication from above is that it may be related to the internal turmoil in Country S instigated by Country Y. The bomb that exploded at the government center in Country S was revealed to be developed by our university. So, Country Y is using this as a pretext to detain our students, demanding an explanation, said Princ.i.p.al Duan Jian with a solemn look, his eyes fixed on the table.

Nonsense! Theyre just fabricating charges. That bomb in Country S was clearly outdated, manufactured decades ago. How can they implicate us? And theyre detaining students who have nothing to do with the conflict. Its an outrageous act. Guan Yan spoke with brooding eyes.

The exchange program this time was sponsored by the Guan familys military-industrial enterprise. The students included Guan Lei, Guan Yans own son. He was inevitably distressed at the moment.

Others had no doubt that Guan Yan was right. They were undeniably framed by Country Y, leaving them in a challenging predicament.

Many countries had signed non-intervention treaties regarding Country S t s internal affairs, but this blame for supplying the bomb was now pinned on Huaguo. They were truly fanning the flames.

The princ.i.p.al pondered for a moment and said, All we can do now is cooperate with the higher-ups and send people for the retrieval. Given the ambiguous att.i.tude from Country C, we cant send fighter jets there to avoid drawing unnecessary attention and criticism. Hence, we can only deploy commercial aircraft. It would be best if its from our university. Its reasonable for the school to send personnel for the retrieval.

A commercial aircraft? No way! Can a commercial aircraft do the job? What if it gets intercepted before it even leaves the airs.p.a.ce of Country C? It has no defense capability. This is ridiculous. Guan Yan exclaimed furiously.

The princ.i.p.al was somewhat embarra.s.sed and could only console, Theres no other choice for now. We can only select pilots with good skills and pair them with well-crafted planes. Well take a gamble..
