In the small dressing room backstage, the pungent smell of Fang Tan's perfume mixed with floral scent still lingered in his nose.
Not knowing whether the borrowed clothes had any smell on them, Sheng Jiayu wondered whether she should take the clothes back and help the president wash them.

The dressing room was filled with props and other items placed there by the students performing. He stepped in with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and after changing his clothes, he realized that he had forgotten a shirt.

Sheng Jiayu looked around, and perhaps he had dropped the clothes on the way he came. He walked around with the clothes in his arms, and slightly lifted the curtain. Sure enough, he saw the clothes on the doll's head cover not far away.

There is no one backstage at the moment, probably because Lu Zhe is there.

Sheng Jiayu thought it was quite interesting. They liked Lu Zhe, but they didn't dare to provoke him.
Some people like him, but they only offend him in every way.

This is the difference in the eyes of others due to different bloodlines, a stereotype that is difficult to eliminate easily. If he wants to make everyone look at him with new eyes, it will probably be a long way to go.

He knocked on the locker room partition, poked his hairy head out and called, "Senior, my clothes fell over there, can you pass them to me?"

Lu Zhe looked over in the direction of the voice. Sheng Jiayu's hair, which had been styled with hairspray, had loosened a little due to changing clothes. It was not as neat as when he had seen her just now. But after loosening, it looked more like a little rabbit as usual. It was soft and seemed like it could be rubbed at will, but if you put your hand out you would get pricked.

How can he be a rabbit? He deserves to be a hedgehog.

"Okay." Lu Zhe agreed and walked in the direction the little rabbit pointed to pick up his shirt.
He was tall and had long legs, and he walked among the scattered props without any panic, which made Sheng Jiayu envious and jealous.

Although he grew a little taller, he awakened late and had not yet finished his secondary development period. In addition, there were differences in animal genes, so the gap between him and Lu Zhe was still quite large, at least half a head taller.

When the shirt was handed to him, Sheng Jiayu shook off the messy thoughts in his head and reached out to take it.

As he moved, half of his shoulder was exposed. The skin on it was flawless white, with a hint of pink due to the heat.
The air circulation in the dressing room is very poor, and the air conditioner is turned on high in winter, so you will feel stuffy if you stay there for a long time - this is the excuse Lu Zhe made for himself. At least when he was distracted and forgot to let go and was reminded by Sheng Jiayu, he could only make such an excuse for himself to cover up his invisible greed.

"Feel sorry."
He let go of her hand, still looking a little reluctant.

Sheng Jiayu was confused. Why did his shirt attract him so much? It was just an ordinary white shirt without any flowers.

He frowned and went back in, put on his clothes and coat before coming out, "Senior, do you still want to continue watching the show?"

"I won't watch it anymore." Lu Zhe said. He has calmed down now. Thinking about the person who was thrown out just now, it seems that he caused quite a stir outside. However, looking at the little rabbit, it seems that he doesn't care about it at all. "That person just now, don't care about it?"

"Is there anything else I need to care about?" Sheng Jiayu straightened her clothes, put the two clarinets in their boxes in order, and handed them to Lu Zhe. "He pursued me unilaterally, it seems to have nothing to do with me, right?"

The little rabbit's voice is clear and moving, and it speaks words to people that sound cruel but true.
It really has nothing to do with him.

The so-called liking is nothing but one's wishful thinking.

"It's all right. If you don't want to use me to scare him, it's okay to go a little too far."

Sheng Jiayu looked at him in surprise, "You can just let me use you like this?"
He pushed the box into Lu Zhe's arms, letting him free his hands to take it, but Sheng Jiayu did not let go. Instead, he said in this position: "That's all. He won't come again. After this, no one should bother me again. Thank you for helping me, whether it's this or lending me the clarinet."

Sheng Jiayu raised her head and looked at Lu Zhe with her red eyes. The height difference between them made the atmosphere ambiguous.
He licked his dry lips gently, trying not to let Lu Zhe notice, and pressed his rabbit teeth against the edge of his lower lip. "Also, thank you for coming to listen to my performance."

Lu Zhe watched his little movements and suppressed his hot emotions.
He was the only one who drank, and that little bit of alcohol should have disappeared with the cold air along the way, and should not have been an excuse for him to act recklessly.

"They are all small matters, don't worry about them."

Sheng Jiayu curled her eyes, loosened her hands on the box, took a step back, and put her hands behind her back. "Then I have to go back first. Senior has drunk some wine, so go to bed early."

"Okay, let's go back together." He knew that Sheng Jiayu, who had been in this school for a year and a half, would not forget the way back to the dormitory no matter how bad he was at finding his way, but he still hoped that he could continue with these little things and stay with him for a while longer.
Maybe, only today.

Sheng Jiayu did not refuse. She said something to the backstage staff and left the auditorium through the back door.
As for the farce caused by the front desk, no one took it seriously.

The absurd and special night was about to pass, the stars climbed up into the night sky, under the moonlight, the snowflakes fell down and landed on the warm skin of the two people in the auditorium.

Sheng Jiayu stretched out her hand, caught a snowflake, and let it melt in her palm.

The city bells begin to ring, and the year is about to end.

On New Year’s Eve, Yijun no longer set up the access control of the dormitory, so people can go back at any time.
Many students will be partying in every corner of the school, and the neon lights above the Star City will form a countdown.

The two of them walked to the school's artificial lake, where many young couples were walking hand in hand on the street beside the lake, interlocking their fingers and making wishes to the sky.

It’s not necessarily superstition, it’s just a beautiful vision for the year ahead.
May their love last forever, and may their lives be open and smooth.

"Do you want to make a wish, senior?" Sheng Jiayu asked.

"Do you have any wish?" Lu Zhe asked him back.

Sheng Jiayu looked at the stars falling in the middle of the lake. "It's nothing. It's what I want. The right way is for me to work harder. Can I make a wish and senior lose to me?"

The answer was expected. Lu Zhe suddenly felt that what was said in the forum was not wrong, at least when talking about Sheng Jiayu.
This little rabbit is a person whose mind is filled with only career.

"The Lover's Lake here doesn't care about academic advancement."

"So unfashionable?" Sheng Jiayu's eyes widened. This was a military academy after all. He thought it should be named something like Triumphant. "It's not the official name, is it?"

"That's indeed not the case. The First Army is full of training grounds, and this is the only place where young couples can go on dates, so it's called this." When Lu Zhe heard the name for the first time, he had the same reaction as Sheng Jiayu, but times have changed. Now that he is standing by the lake, he really doesn't want to think about whether this thing is tacky or not.
Lover's Lake, can you bless him to make his dream come true?

"That's right." Sheng Jiayu accepted this explanation. "So if it can't bless me, I won't make a wish. My career is not even halfway done yet, so I'm not in the mood to think about love."

His casual words made Lu Zhe fall into silence.
Lu Zhe rubbed his aching temple. Although the effect of the alcohol had subsided a little, he still drank a lot tonight.
This emotion, which was infinitely magnified by an excuse, burned his reason even more, but he was still sober. His previous indulgence in the auditorium was already outrageous enough, and he could not do anything out of line again.
After all, with Sheng Jiayu's current attitude towards suitors, if he dared to do anything, he would definitely stay away from him. He could only rely on his familiar identity as a senior to quietly and gradually intrude into his world.

In response to Sheng Jiayu's words, Lu Zhe simply said, "You are still young, there is really no need to rush. You can talk about it after you win the championship."

But Sheng Jiayu remained silent, "Isn't it a little too late to win the championship?"
Although he has the ambition to win the championship, he also knows the value of the league championship. The Allenville Galaxy has not qualified for many years. Is it too early to talk about winning the championship now?
He is just a newbie!
"So when do you want to go?"

"Hmm..." When asked this, Sheng Jiayu didn't know how to answer. It seemed that he had never thought about things like love.
In his previous life, he was in poor health, and apart from some reckless love during his student days, it seemed that nothing had happened. He didn't dare to get involved with others, for he was afraid that he would die the next day and would only cause more sorrow to others.
But in this life, he had too many regrets to make up for, so love was naturally put aside by him.

There were a lot of expressions of love shown to him along the way, but he had no time to respond to most of them. As for the others, he simply couldn't care less about the frivolous and self-conscious pursuits like those from Fang Tan and Cui Ye.

As for actually considering when to fall in love and what type of relationship he wants, he has really never thought about such a question.

"It all depends on fate. If you meet and like each other, then be together. There's no need to set a time target for yourself."

This answer actually made Lu Zhe feel relieved, "That's true."

"What about the senior? I heard that no one dares to like the senior. What do you think about this?"

Lu Zhe thought about it, and then said, "Let's wait for his fate."

The neon lights above Star City transformed into electronic fireworks, obscuring someone's response.
Sheng Jiayu's attention was drawn to the countdown in the sky. He skipped over the topic that he just mentioned casually and turned back with a smile, saying, "Happy New Year, senior."

"Happy New Year."
Forget it, the days are long.

The lively year-end meeting was over, and the school was closed the next day. When the sun came back, the students were busy preparing for the final exams.

What's more important than the final exam is the school-wide military exercise after the final exam.
The specific method of the exercise will be announced in three days, so everyone can only prepare blindly.

Anyway, it's a school-wide drill, and it doesn't test mechas, but only physical fitness, fighting skills, etc. All the freshmen can do is to practice what they know and do their best.

So under the shadow of the bigger competition, the final exams seem less important.

When everyone walked into the shooting training ground together, Jiang Hui suddenly realized that Sheng Jiayu did not attend this class with them this year. What was he doing here?

"You still have an exam to take?"

Sheng Jiayu turned her head and looked at him as if he were a fool. "Otherwise, who will give me credits if I don't take the exam?"

"I thought I could use the credits from the mecha class to make up for it."

"That's because I took extra courses." Sheng Jiayu also wanted to agree, but unfortunately the Academic Affairs Office wouldn't let her.

"Have you ever practiced shooting? Can you do it?" Jiang Hui would not ask any other questions, but after all, he had not seen Sheng Jiayu enter the shooting training range for the entire semester, so he was really worried about him.
When he lost to Fang Chen in the test, some people showed signs of reviving and continuing to laugh at him, especially those in the neighboring classes, who had never seen him train and thought that his performance in the previous semester was just a flash in the pan. A rabbit is just a rabbit after all.

The students in Class C naturally wouldn't think this way, but they were still somewhat worried about his grades.
Sheng Jiayu is the only one in the department who is as busy as him.

They all knew that it was the school's idea to let Sheng Jiayu take the mecha class. From the announcement of the additional exercises and the recent rumors on the forum, they also guessed that this was an adjustment to the school's training policy for military cadets. Sheng Jiayu was the first person to try it out for some reason. Under such unexpected circumstances, it was understandable that he could not balance his own academic progress.

After all, the school has its own rules.
Jiang Hui, who has a good relationship with Sheng Jiayu, was worried that Sheng Jiayu would feel frustrated because of his poor grades.

Even though he had achieved some results last semester, there were still many people waiting to laugh at him.

"If I can't do it, can you?" Sheng Jiayu didn't hear the worry in Jiang Hui's voice, or maybe he heard it but didn't care, "I never do anything I'm not sure of."

If he felt that he was not good enough, he would definitely ask Lao Jin to postpone the exam.
He is not afraid of losing face, but he is afraid of unsatisfactory grades. Those are all credits! Credits!
Credits are related to scholarships. Students in the first army start receiving scholarships from their sophomore year, and the scholarship will be determined based on their first year's performance. He doesn't want to hinder his scholarship for any reason.

He is not short of money. Most of his expenses, whether participating in the league or in school, are subsidized. But this industry still burns money after all. Even when the government subsidizes most of the expenses, other expenses are also very large.
Since the goal is to play in the Star League, save some money in advance to avoid not having enough money when unexpected events occur.

Although his family is considered wealthy, his parents have never been supportive of him coming to the military academy to participate in these activities.
Sheng Jiayu knew that once the money was used, it must be that something unexpected had happened to him during the competition. It would be best if he could report good news instead of bad news. It would be best if he had the money to solve the problem.

Seeing that he was so confident, Jiang Hui didn't say anything else. He thought it couldn't be that bad.

But when the machine finished calculating the scores, not only Jiang Hui, but all the students waiting for the exam in the hall dropped their jaws in shock, followed by a burst of noise.

The students queuing outside could not see what was going on inside, they could only hear the noise inside, as if they were surprised by something.

Cui Ye leaned against the wall, heard the voice inside, and asked the person in front: "What happened?"

"It's not very clear, it seems like someone got full marks." The people in front were not very clear either. When the people taking the exam came out, they saw Sheng Jiayu strolling and clapping his hands, with several people surrounding him.

"Boss, how did you do that?!"
"Boss, please teach me. No matter how I fight, I always get nine rings. Mr. Hu said he will kill me if I don't improve!"
"Boss, when did you learn to shoot? Why are some people not attending classes and not willing to give us a chance to live?"

The chattering sound accompanied Sheng Jiayu as she passed by Cui Ye.

Cui Ye would have guessed who got full marks. Since one person had already got full marks, no matter how many people got full marks later, it would not surprise anyone.

What's more, what he cared about was not this, but Sheng Jiayu. He really didn't even glance at him.

He always believed that no matter how hard Sheng Jiayu tried, he was just a herbivore after all.
The herbivores should just stay back and be protected by the carnivores, and then cheer for their heroes.
When she ran up to them, her cheeks were flushed with excitement and fear.

In short, Sheng Jiayu shouldn't be like this.
He should be like the little rabbit that had just awakened when they first met, emitting a cute and attractive scent, and would respond politely when blocked by others.
But now Sheng Jiayu is increasingly unwilling to maintain that image, because he thinks he is so powerful that his bad nature is fully revealed.
Perhaps it is because these elements make him so fascinating, different from other herbivores, that many people are touched by his unusual behavior.
But he shouldn't be like this.

Cui Ye looked at his back and thought so.
Perhaps by destroying him, he would know what to do as a herbivore to satisfy the carnivores.

Sheng Jiayu passed by Cui Ye's back amidst the crowd's support and admiration, but Cui Ye might not know that his gaze, like a pillar of fire, had already exposed his inner thoughts.

The rabbit turned back because of this intense desire to hunt, staring at Cui Ye's unrestrained gaze, and moved his lips slightly, mouthing: "Don't even think about it."
