Arknights? Yesterday's Arknights!!

Ignoring the noise in the classroom, An Xin looked in the direction they were pointing and met the white-haired girl's gaze.

Her most striking feature is her pair of rabbit ears; looking down, you see her delicate features, and her beauty can even make people overlook the scar.

Rather, it is that scar that makes the woman more elegant and refined.

She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, met An Xin's gaze, and smiled.

The classroom erupted in shock, with comments like, "Isn't Pioneer supposed to never smile?", "Isn't Pioneer always expressionless?", "Didn't she defeat very strong enemies with ease and without any expression?", and "So Pioneer can smile too."

The most outrageous thing was when a little boy said, "The Pioneer smiled at me," which caused a burst of laughter.

An Xin felt a little helpless.

"Quiet, everyone be quiet. I'm going out for a bit to study. I'll be back soon."

As the blond youth left the classroom, their beloved pioneer rushed into his arms.

"Ah, your scent is still the best." Yelena rubbed her face against An Xin's chest.

Chapter Fifty-Eight Lunch

“It wouldn’t be good if others saw this, my dear white rabbit, you’ve already set a precedent.” An Xin looked helpless, but still hugged Yelena.

In the past two years, because of her performance, more and more people have called her a pioneer.

But in An Xin's eyes, she will always be the white rabbit.

He released her hand and looked her up and down. "It's only been two months since we last met."

"It's been two months since we last saw each other," the white rabbit changed his tune.

"Okay, okay, after I finish class, would you do me the honor of treating Miss Pioneer to a regular working lunch?" An Xin asked her.

Yelena responded to him, "Why do you call me that too? Everyone else can, but not you."

"Okay, I got it." He smiled. "The kids are waiting for me."

"go Go."

The white rabbit pushed him back to the classroom. At first, there was only silence, but then a loud noise erupted.

An Xin's smile was hard to tell whether it was from worrying about the children or from seeing Yelena.

While waiting for lunch, Yelena also attracted a lot of attention. People at the school knew about Anxin's past, but unlike Anxin, Yelena is now a pioneer of the integration movement.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."

Feeling the gazes around her, An Xin, carrying two plates, apologized to Yelena.

"It's alright. We're no different from everyone else. What's wrong with eating in this cafeteria? It's much better than eating black bread before." The white rabbit took the tray and ate lunch with him.

The two of you can eat and chat at the same time.

An Xin asked, "Why did you come back this time? The battle on the front lines isn't over yet, is it?"

"Well, it's nothing. It's just that everyone wants you to go to the front lines. Even if we're not in the same place, at least we can still see each other occasionally, right?"

The white rabbit used a fork to put a thin slice of fried sausage into its mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

Seeing that An Xin didn't speak, she continued.

"Things have been going quite well on the front lines recently. We've connected with a medical organization called Rhodes Island, and they've agreed to provide us with Oripathy inhibitors."

Also, Dad contacted some old friends from the military, and quite a few of them came to help us. There was this old man named Herag who was really skilled; he even taught me swordsmanship while drinking with Dad.”

“A lot has happened,” An Xin said as she ate her lunch.

"Why don't you come back too?"

"Forget it." An Xin shook her head, squinting her eyes. "You know I prefer being a teacher. I'm not that pure, that idealistic. I just want to be true to my heart."

"Is it."

Yelena rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window, swallowing back the words that had just come to mind.

she wanted to ask.

You have not betrayed your conscience.

what about me?

What about Talulah?

What about Alina?

They've been waiting for Anxin for three years. Although everyone is striving for a common ideal, they still hope that Anxin can make a decision as soon as possible.

Yelena had no choice but to change the subject. "Rhodes Island gave me a medical examination, but I didn't mention what happened two years ago. What kind of drug did you inject me with? Why did my Oripathy suddenly slow down? According to Rhodes Island, I was already on my last legs and was basically about to turn to dust."

“…” An Xin pursed her lips, “I only have one vial of that medicine, and you are the most suitable person for it.”

As for the type of medication, there's really nothing special about it; it's just a common inhibitor.

Yelena's failure to develop bloodlines indicates that the medicine's effects were not realized, so there's no need to elaborate further.

"Ordinary inhibitors?" Yelena's eyes showed a hint of doubt, but she knew An Xin wouldn't harm her. Since An Xin didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't press the matter.

With a smile in her eyes, she began to share some interesting stories with him. The two happily finished their lunch and then strolled through the grove of trees on campus.

The wind rustled through the branches, and sunlight shone through the holes in the leaves, creating round yellow spots. This mottled path was rarely visited, perhaps because An Xin was there; everyone else had reserved a spot for him and Yelena.

"Has Alina come back to see you recently?" She glanced at An Xin out of the corner of her eye.

His pupils slid upwards and downwards, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he replied, "I came here a month ago, but I didn't say much, we just chatted briefly."

"Really? She's changed a lot in the last two years. Although her personality hasn't changed much, she's still the same, like the older sister of those warriors. But her swordsmanship is almost as good as mine. Talulah really taught her without holding back."

Yelena was still talking about trivial things when suddenly he smiled, moved closer to An Xin, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in her ear.

"Do you know how many soldiers are in love with Alina? At least two battalions, right?"

She was gentle to everyone, considerately explaining important matters to the soldiers, and treated everyone equally.

"Isn't that normal?" An Xin asked in a flat tone. "With her personality, of course many people like her."

Seeing that he didn't react, a hint of panic flashed in Yelena's eyes. She took a half step back, her steps becoming heavy. Her hands were behind her back, and her fingers seemed to have a mind of their own, becoming tangled together.

She originally thought that An Xin would be somewhat flustered upon hearing this news, after all, An Xin was a girl who had liked her, and she would definitely feel uncomfortable if she suddenly found out that someone wanted to take her away.

Unexpectedly, An Xin remained calm and composed, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Yelena asked tentatively, "Do you want to know who she chose?"

“I know, she definitely didn’t choose anyone,” An Xin replied, seeing right through Yelena’s thoughts.

She kicked the pebble hard, watching it fly into the bushes beside her.

"How boring. If someone confessed their feelings to me one day, would you think the same way?"

Will you say yes to him?

"you guess."

Following the white rabbit's expectant gaze, An Xin knew exactly what answer she wanted to hear.

"I won't allow it." An Xin stopped in her tracks. "Your promise to me hasn't been fulfilled yet, I'm not going to let you go."

"Hmph, I won't agree to anyone else either."

Having received the answer she wanted to hear, Yelena's steps became lively, and her whole body felt lighter. Humming a military song, she leaned forward slightly, and the dappled sunlight fell on her back, creating the most vibrant color of the summer.

After seeing Yelena off, An Xin was greeted by an unexpected guest, which surprised him for a moment.

“I didn’t expect you to come to see me, Kosichek.”

Chapter 59 Invitation (Seeking first subscription)

The old office, in keeping with the style of the early days of the Integration Movement, was simple, with nothing but a desk and chair, and some documents piled up in the corner.

To be honest, An Xin didn't want to see her at all; Koschche was the enemy he least wanted to face directly.
