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

The Northern Military Academy is nestled deep in the Lakes Mountains, transforming into a treacherous place in winter with bone-chilling cold. Recently, a heavy snowfall has blanketed the area, leaving students from other military academies struggling to adapt to the harsh climate, bundled up in thick coats and down jackets.

As everyone gazes at the swirling snowflakes, it’s clear that the league matches are approaching their conclusion.

Teams have begun preparing for the final match.

For tomorrow’s match, Bai Yuxi made an unusual decision to forgo extra training for the team. They felt confident about this match.

She believed that if everyone relaxed and rested well, their performance wouldn’t suffer.

Lin Zhimi and Tang Xing went out to eat with their old friends as soon as they returned to school, while Jing Ran stuck to his usual routine, each finding their own way to unwind.

In the training room of the Northern Military Academy, only Ren Qingqiu and Bai Yuxi remained.

Ren Qingqiu sat in the training room, watching a squirrel that had ventured in from the heavy snowfall outside, stretching lazily. She too wished to join the others for some relaxation, but since Bai Yuxi preferred to stay in the training room, she had no choice.

Glancing at the stored firearms, Ren Qingqiu took out a somewhat worn AJL823.

“Commander, I remember you used this gun as a standard when selecting team members,” Ren Qingqiu said with a smile. “It brings back memories of when I first met you here; you were quite fierce back then.”

—Although, at times, you still are.

Bai Yuxi lowered her eyelids. “If you don’t maintain a proper attitude, don’t blame others for punishing you.”

If this topic were to be dragged out, it would never end.

Ren Qingqiu chuckled. “Did you know from the start that this gun was designed by me?”

Bai Yuxi paused for a moment and nodded.

She was somewhat curious about Li Bei’s design of such a purpose-ambiguous gun, but it had proven quite useful during testing.

Clearing her throat, Ren Qingqiu adopted a proud demeanor. “Did you get scared when you saw me assembling the gun back then?”

“I think no one can compare to me, right? You said yourself there were no other options.”

With a smug smile, she locked eyes with Bai Yuxi.

“…” Feeling that she was being a bit too conceited, Bai Yuxi cast a complicated glance at Ren Qingqiu.

“I might be a bit rusty now,” Ren Qingqiu continued unabashedly, still brimming with pride. “But back then, my speed in assembling guns was only half of what it is now. If it were me back in those days—”

Bai Yuxi smiled as she held her hands. “Are you challenging me?”

“Huh?”

Ren Qingqiu was taken aback, not expecting Bai Yuxi to say that. She momentarily didn’t know how to respond. “Challenge what?”

“Assembly. Let’s see who can put together this AJL823 faster,” Bai Yuxi said quietly.

“Alright,” Ren Qingqiu replied, smiling as she looked into Bai Yuxi’s eyes. “But it seems there’s only one here…”

“There’s another one here,” Bai Yuxi said, retrieving another AJL823 from a different storage cabinet.

Seeing that she had brought two guns, Ren Qingqiu couldn’t help but smile. “Where did you get this gun from?”
