“Commander,” she gently patted Bai Yuxi’s back, “didn’t you have anything else you wanted me to do?”
“…”
—Immediately delete Kong Youxi’s terminal number.
Bai Yuxi thought for a moment, then sighed deeply.
“In the future, when you talked to Kong Youxi, I wanted to be present. Even when you used the terminal, it had to be on speaker.”
Ren Qingqiu felt taken aback.
That represented something she could actually do, and it seemed quite specific.
“You really kept an eye on Kong Youxi whenever you could.”
Ren Qingqiu couldn’t help but smile bitterly at this, but she also felt a pang of sympathy for Bai Yuxi.
—The large feline truly seemed to lack a sense of security.
“You talked too much.”
Bai Yuxi frowned, leaning her head against Ren Qingqiu’s shoulder, somewhat impatiently mimicking her, “I just wanted to hear whether it was good or bad, without any unnecessary words.”
Ren Qingqiu closed her eyes for a moment as she thought.
“Good.”
She smiled and gently patted Bai Yuxi’s back. “From now on, when I talked to Kong Youxi, I would do it in front of you. Even on the terminal, I would speak in your presence. Anything else?”
Bai Yuxi thought for a moment, “Nothing else for now.”
—It seemed there would be more in the future.
“Looks like I really would be controlled by my wife now.”
Ren Qingqiu closed her eyes briefly, then kissed the tip of Bai Yuxi’s nose.
“Let’s end the review meeting here, commander.”

The ship gradually sailed back to shore, and by the time they returned to the Western Military Academy by military vehicle, it already turned ten o’clock at night.
The conclusion of the competition came swiftly. Amid the disappointed gazes of instructors from other military academies, the Northern Military Academy secured first place in three matches.
The instructors from the Northern Military Academy felt quite excited.
In that league, the second, third, and fourth places remained unclear, but the Northern Military Academy surpassed the other academies in results. Of course, luck played a part, but after three matches, they solidified their first place ahead of time, leaving no room for doubt about their strength.
As for who came in second, the Northern Military Academy instructors didn’t concern themselves; their minds remained focused on one thing:
They had secured three first-place finishes, and since the fourth match will be held on their home ground, it seemed highly likely they would clinch first again!
That would mean not just three consecutive wins, but four victories total!
Four matches! All wins!
The instructors from the Northern Military Academy found the thought exhilarating.
Such a complete victory in that league remained rare in recent history; every year, they struggled fiercely, and to achieve total victory—especially winning on others’ home turf—proved exceptionally rare. Only the Eastern Military Academy achieved this feat a decade ago. When would the Northern Military Academy enjoy such treatment?
The instructors looked expectantly at their students.
However, a few members of the Northern Military Academy didn’t think much about it. Although that competition didn’t take much time, the combat in the water proved physically demanding. They felt exhausted from the competition and eager to return to their dorms for some rest.
After a few of them retrieved their terminals from the starting point of the Western Military Academy, they began to head out.
Ren Qingqiu hurriedly opened her terminal.
As soon as she opened the communication bar, she saw that Kong Youxi already sent her the information he gathered about Li Gengcheng.
Bai Yuxi glanced at her.
Ren Qingqiu smiled helplessly, just as she was about to show her terminal to Bai Yuxi when a voice came from behind.
“Congratulations! You secured first place in your third match!”
Ren Qingqiu froze at the sound of that voice.
Hearing Li Gengcheng’s footsteps approaching, Ren Qingqiu felt a slight tightening in her throat and discreetly put away her terminal.
At that moment, a hand grasped her own. Ren Qingqiu looked up to see Bai Yuxi standing beside her.
Li Gengcheng glanced at Bai Yuxi and smiled warmly. “Commander Bai, the Northern Military Academy performed excellently this time.”
Bai Yuxi shot him a cold glance, then pulled Ren Qingqiu behind her. With a huff, she coldly replied, “That had nothing to do with you.”
Ren Qingqiu couldn’t help but think that Bai Yuxi might have been influenced by her.
After all, Bai Yuxi usually approached superiors with humility and caution, never speaking carelessly. Normally, her ambition made her very cautious around someone like Li Gengcheng, a colonel. But now, Bai Yuxi’s behavior felt as if she had taken a bullet…
Although such a blunt attitude might not have been ideal, honestly, seeing Li Gengcheng’s expression freeze in that moment made Ren Qingqiu feel quite pleased.
She almost couldn’t control her urge to laugh.
“…”
Li Gengcheng appeared taken aback.
Since becoming a senior officer, few dared to speak so directly with him. Bai Yuxi’s attitude felt disrespectful, as if she were trying to argue with him, which proved quite displeasing.
He remained in a bad mood but thought it unnecessary to show his displeasure to a student. So, despite Bai Yuxi’s huff, Li Gengcheng didn’t allow any displeasure to show on his face. Instead, he turned to Ren Qingqiu and said, “I remember your name is Ren Qingqiu, right? Why did you stare at me during the departure?”
Ren Qingqiu smiled lightly at his question. “I just daydreamed and might have accidentally locked eyes with a colonel like you.”
“Is that so?”
Li Gengcheng squinted at her, clearly not satisfied with that answer.
However, he noticed that Ren Qingqiu’s mental strength appeared surprisingly low.
This person couldn’t possibly be Li Bei…
Her mental strength seemed off, her appearance didn’t match, and all the information didn’t align.
Besides… Li Bei already died.
Still pondering, Li Gengcheng couldn’t help but ask, “Did you know Li Bei?”
“Li Bei?” Ren Qingqiu squinted in confusion. “I don’t think I knew anyone by that name.”
“Is that so?” Li Gengcheng stared intently at Ren Qingqiu’s face for a long time. “If you didn’t know him, then forget it. You should get some rest.”
With that, he walked away…
