After Marking Commander O, I was Forced to a Flash Marriage

“I’m not going.”

Listening to Bai Yuxi, Ren Qingqiu showed no excitement about being a candidate. Instead, she appeared lethargic and disinterested.

Bai Yuxi silently studied her for a few seconds, “Why not?”

—Why not?

Ren Qingqiu felt that she had always been out of place in an environment like the military academy, where obedience to orders was paramount.

Moreover, her feelings towards Bai Yuxi, who had a fiancée, were particularly negative today.

Now, Bai Yuxi, who is engaged to someone else, wanted her to participate in a competition organized by others, where she would have no freedom. Just the thought of it made Ren Qingqiu feel uncomfortable all over.

But with her hands in her pockets, Ren Qingqiu simply replied with five words, “I don’t want to go.”

‘I don’t want to go,’ meant just that. She wasn’t going to explain further.

Bai Yuxi shot her a look, assuming she didn’t understand what the league was, and began to elaborate patiently.

“The league is an opportunity to showcase your individual abilities. Participating in it opens up more possibilities, serves as proof of your skills, and will make entering the military smoother in the future, providing greater security. Many students covet this opportunity.”

Bai Yuxi rarely spoke with such patience. As she continued, she glanced at Ren Qingqiu.

“Are you sure you don’t want to participate?”

“Yes, I don’t want to.”

Ren Qingqiu was unwavering. She absentmindedly fiddled with the buttons on her clothes. “Let this opportunity go to those who need it more.”

—She was quite generous.

Bai Yuxi frowned.

She had never heard of qualifications for a competition being given up, like yielding a seat to the elderly or disabled, and she had certainly never seen a freshman speak this way.

Listening to Ren Qingqiu’s shameless reply, Bai Yuxi took a deep breath.

“As a student of Northern Military Academy, if you have a sense of collective honor—”

“How coincidental,” before Bai Yuxi could finish, Ren Qingqiu lazily chuckled, “I don’t have that.”

Bai Yuxi squinted at her. “You don’t?”

Ren Qingqiu casually nodded.

“My sense of collective honor was eaten by a dog long ago.”

Bai Yuxi felt that Ren Qingqiu was acting irrationally again and didn’t want to engage in her nonsense. “You really don’t want to go?”
