A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Seeing this, Cecilia and Houki Shinonono both smiled knowingly.

"Li Weijun, isn't this a bit too exciting?" Shinonono Houki said with a mischievous smile, like a little devil.

"Isn't this just common sense? I'm a man after all, and I need to overcome my inner desires when faced with temptation," Li Wei said seriously.

“Oh, so you mean that if this weren’t a public place, I wouldn’t need to overcome my desires?” Cecilia smiled knowingly.

"I'm sorry, I will try to control myself. Although suppressing desires is difficult, there are some things that must have a bottom line," Li Wei said.

Although Li Wei spoke righteously, he actually had his own plans. In addition, he possessed the ability to read minds, which allowed him to see through other people's thoughts, so he was naturally able to avoid making mistakes in such matters.

“Controlling one’s desires…” Cecilia murmured softly. She wasn’t dissatisfied with Levi’s current attitude. Even if Levi acted like he was truly controlled by his lower body, she wouldn’t feel any dislike for him. But Levi’s relatively gentlemanly demeanor seemed quite nice.

However, what Cecilia didn't know was that Levi simply wanted "all of them." If he went all the way now, he would inevitably be influenced by Cecilia when dealing with other girls in the future, which would be a loss overall. That's why Levi was trying to control his desires.

Furthermore, when Levi eats fruit cake, he saves the best fruit for last, so now is not the time to confess his feelings to Cecilia and Shinonono Houki.

“That’s right, it’s about controlling desires. The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can control their desires, keeping themselves motivated to move forward without getting lost in them,” Li Wei said.

"Li Weijun is really something, always spouting these incomprehensible platitudes. Aren't we here to enjoy the beach and sunshine? Let's save this old-fashioned, pedantic conversation for later," said Shinonono Houki, her hands behind her head, her face nonchalant.

Li Wei said with a smile, "That's right. I've reserved the last two days of my monthly leave here on the beach. I feel that the atmosphere on this beach is much better than those resort areas."

What Li Wei really wanted to say was that the scenery was beautiful, and this scenery was not just natural; more importantly, there were beautiful women to see on the beach.

If it were an external public resort area, the beach would naturally be filled with all sorts of people. Besides young and beautiful women, there would be those philosophically inclined men, as well as old, out-of-shape grandmothers and beer-bellied grandfathers. Most of them would be an eyesore. It would be quite different from the private beach on campus, which is full of young and energetic girls.

Just the fact that he didn't have to worry about being assaulted by anything offensive was enough for Li Wei to spend several days on this beach. Moreover, the beach wasn't usually this lively. While teachers and students did play on the beach on weekdays, it only got busier after school in the afternoon due to classes. But now, it was a school-wide carnival-like monthly break, so the beach was quite lively from morning till night. Li Wei sensed that there were at least a thousand people on the beach, which gave him an idea of ​​its bustling atmosphere.

Li Wei felt that he could ask the dean to try changing the school's holiday system, so that in addition to the monthly holidays, Sundays could be used for rest, which would be a better balance between work and rest.

Anyway, all the higher-ups in the academy are his people, and the students will at least wholeheartedly support such a decision. No student dislikes a holiday. In a military-style academy, even the female students in the undergraduate section have similar schedules to those in the upper grades. Even they would find it hard to refuse a holiday.

The three arrived at the locker area. A large number of people on the beach need to store their clothes and personal belongings, so there is a special locker area and corresponding management personnel.

After putting their personal belongings into the lockers, the three of them received key bracelets and hung them on their wrists. Then, Li Wei went to a shop that rents beach equipment and rented a large parasol, three folding lounge chairs, and a matching folding coffee table. After finding a suitable spot on the beach and setting everything up, Li Wei made another trip and bought a case of frozen drinks and two chilled watermelons.

When Levi returned with food and drinks, the two girls' eyes lit up. No girl can resist sweets, not even a young lady like Cecilia.

"...Can we eat two watermelons?" Cecilia asked, puzzled.

Li Wei placed the watermelon on the picnic blanket spread next to the deck chair and said, "Cecilia, do you know the watermelon-smashing game in Japan?"

Cecilia shook her head, looking puzzled. Although she was more knowledgeable than her peers, she wasn't a walking encyclopedia who knew everything. Smashing watermelons was a traditional beach game in Japan, so it was normal that she didn't know it.

Houki Shinonon explained, "In Japan, 'Watermelon Smashing' is a relatively uncommon folk game. The rules are very simple: place a watermelon on the beach, blindfold the participants, and have others circle it to disorient them. Then, with hints from the others, the participants must find the watermelon and smash it with a stick. If they successfully smash the watermelon, they win. The winner can ask the other participants to do something for them, similar to the King's Game. However, this game is very difficult. Unless you're extremely lucky, you won't be able to smash the watermelon. The watermelons that aren't smashed are shared among everyone."

Cecilia nodded; she had become interested in the game.

Chapter 1. Chifuyu Orimura's Achilles' Heel

None of the three rushed to start the watermelon-smashing game, since this game was meant to be the grand finale.

Li Wei lay down on the beach chair, and when he saw the person on the beach chair next to him, he couldn't take his eyes off them.

Next door was the individual group, which included his homeroom teachers, Chifuyu Orimura and Maya Yamada. Li Wei wasn't surprised to run into the two of them here; after all, teachers are human too, and they also enjoy life, so it's perfectly normal for them to enjoy the sun and sea breeze on the beach during holidays.

Maya Yamada and Chifuyu Orimura also noticed Li Wei and his companions. They hadn't been there when Li Wei went to get something, so they missed each other and didn't say hello. Now that they saw each other, they naturally had to greet each other.

Li Wei walked over and looked at the two busy at work, saying, "Sister Qian Dong, Sister Zhen Ye, what a coincidence! You're having a barbecue?"

When Yamada Maya saw Li Wei, she looked somewhat surprised. After regaining her composure, she smiled and said, "It feels like something's missing if we come to the beach and don't have a barbecue, so Chifuyu and I are having one here. Would you like some?"

"Is that alright?" Li Wei asked, feigning surprise.

“Of course you can. Cecilia and Houki, get up too. Sharing is caring, right?” Yamada Maya said with a smile.

Maya Yamada felt a little flustered. Her heart raced when she saw Li Wei. Her past interactions with him made it impossible for her to maintain a teacherly demeanor in his presence. Moreover, she secretly hoped that Li Wei would join them on vacation—a thought she herself didn't understand.

"Then I'll gladly accept your offer. We've prepared drinks and watermelon here, which will help to cut through the richness," Li Wei said with a smile.

Although the academy is quite close to Japan, the fruit is not imported from Japan, but from Japan and Southeast Asia. Therefore, the price of the fruit is not as outrageous as in Japan. In Japan, the game of smashing watermelons on the beach is considered a luxury to the point of being wasteful. Normal people buy watermelons to eat. Only those who are not short of money would play such a game.

However, because of different import channels, the fruits at the academy can be described as high quality and inexpensive, so playing games like smashing watermelons is not a luxury at all.

Maya Yamada looked at Houki Shinonono and Cecilia, and waved to them. The two girls, who hadn't even warmed their seats on the recliners, went over when they saw their teacher looking for them.

Maya Yamada laughed and said, "Let's get started with the barbecue! We've prepared some seafood, it'll be delicious grilled!"

Chifuyu Orimura took out the seasonings and various pre-processed semi-finished ingredients from the styrofoam box next to her and said, "When I was making them before, I was so excited that I made a little too much. Now that I have someone with me, I don't have to worry about wasting any."

Chifuyu Orimura also had a strong liking for Li Wei, so she didn't say anything about Yamada Maya bringing Li Wei and the others over. In fact, she was quite happy that Li Wei was coming.

Cecilia and Houki Shinonono started helping Chifuyu Orimura with the preparations. While barbecuing is a bit of a hassle, the hands-on nature of it is quite fun. People who barbecue are not only enjoying the food, but also the process of making it.

Chifuyu Orimura looked up at the sun. It was around 2 p.m., the time when the sun was at its strongest.

"Li Weijun, bring over the parasols and deck chairs. If everyone gathers here, there won't be enough shade," said Chifuyu Orimura.

Since there were only two of them, Chifuyu Orimura and Maya Yamada rented a small parasol. It was enough to cover two deck chairs, but with everyone gathered there, plus a rather large barbecue grill, the small parasol was not enough.

Li Wei responded and quickly moved his deck chair and parasol over, gathering all the parasols together to cast a large shade, covering everyone.

Li Wei also joined the barbecue party. It was his first time barbecuing on the beach, and he had to admit that the activity was quite fun. Most importantly, he was surrounded by beautiful young women and mature women. Any normal man would feel happy in such a situation.

Cecilia looked at the barbecue grill, which was already piled high with food, and said, "This barbecue grill is a bit too big; it seems a bit wasteful for two people to use."

Li Wei looked at the barbecue grill. Cecilia was right. This barbecue grill was similar to the professional grills used in specialty barbecue restaurants, allowing the chef to grill a large amount of food at the same time. It was indeed a bit too big for private use.

Chifuyu Orimura said, "The academy's purchasing department does all the purchasing. For camping items like barbecue grills that we don't use on a daily basis, there aren't many options. To make management and maintenance easier, they're all standardized. So, the smallest barbecue grill we can get is this one."

Cecilia asked curiously, "So, the other models are all bigger than the one we're using now?"

Chifuyu Orimura nodded. Although the academy had become a self-sustaining little society, it was not a complete, real society. Therefore, compared to the outside world, it was closer to a planned economy. Procurement was centrally managed, prioritizing cost-effective items. As a result, the variety of goods available was somewhat limited compared to the outside world.

Li Wei, who possesses the ability to read minds, can sense Chifuyu Orimura's inner thoughts. Chifuyu Orimura has two weaknesses: her family and the academy itself.

Chifuyu Orimura is a soft-hearted person. She values ​​her family very much. Even though she doesn't usually care about Natsu Orimura, who has now fallen into depravity, she would not stand idly by if Natsu were in mortal danger.

For Chifuyu Orimura, the academy was a safe haven. Although there were still internal struggles within the academy, they were generally under control. In addition, the various major powers checked and balanced each other, making the academy relatively peaceful. Staying in the academy meant she didn't have to be as fearful as she was outside, constantly on guard against other people's schemes.

This is because the academy has given Chifuyu Orimura protection, so she will use her own power to protect the academy in return, because the academy has become her de facto home.

Chifuyu Orimura said, "The academy's current supplies are rather limited, but the academy is constantly making improvements. Perhaps in the future we will be able to use smaller barbecue grills, or even grills that can be used by individuals. I have watched the academy grow from the very beginning, from a complete mess where everything was chaotic, to now where everything is in perfect order, and it has only taken a few years. I believe that the academy will only get better and better."

Chifuyu Orimura has developed a sense of belonging to the academy. She feels that as a member of this place, she has the obligation and responsibility to make it a better place.

Chapter 1. Expressing Stance

"I didn't expect you to be good at grilling, Qian Dong. This kind of food doesn't really suit your usual style," Li Wei said.

Chifuyu Orimura sat on a small stool, holding a book in one hand and skillfully flipping the food on the grill with the other, saying without looking up, "Style is something that others impose on you. Li Weijun, you actually care about such things?"

Li Wei said, "I don't really care about these things, but Sister Qian Dong, you're deliberately distancing yourself from the students and making yourself seem more aloof. To be honest, I'm very curious why you're doing this."

Li Wei knew that Chifuyu Orimura was not a very frank person, so when dealing with her, he would intentionally guide her to express her true thoughts. Of course, this required Chifuyu Orimura to have a certain degree of goodwill towards him before he could do such a thing.

Chifuyu Orimura sighed, noticing the curious looks from the three students, and said, "Are you all really that curious about something like this?"

Shinonono Houki nodded and said, "Of course, the Chifuyu-nee I remember was a very gentle person. Although she was very strict in class at the academy, I could still see her old self after class. This makes me feel very disconnected. It's like the current Chifuyu-nee has been split into two different people."

Although Cecilia wasn't very familiar with Chifuyu Orimura, upon hearing Houki Shinonono's words, she noticed a detail she hadn't paid attention to before: Chifuyu Orimura did indeed have a sense of separation, just like those actors who wear one face when acting and their true self in daily life.

Chifuyu Orimura said, "Everyone has their own stance. Take Li Weijun as an example. Li Weijun is from Chongguo. If, and I mean if, the interests of the academy and Chongguo conflict, which side would you stand on, Li Weijun?"

Chifuyu Orimura's tone was very calm; although she said it was a question, her tone was very certain.

Li Wei said without hesitation, "I am a descendant of the dragon, and naturally I will stand firmly on the side of my motherland."

Li Wei would never hesitate to do something like this.

Chifuyu Orimura nodded and said, "Li Weijun will choose to stand on the side of his own country, and in fact, everyone else is in a similar situation. Everyone has a stance that they must uphold. When my students are caught between their country and the academy, it must be extremely difficult. The only thing I can do is to make their student life less comfortable, and even make them hate me, the more they hate me, the better. And by hating me, they will be able to easily stand firm on their own side when they encounter similar situations in the future, without having to consider my feelings or the feelings of the academy."

Chifuyu Orimura's words left everyone speechless. She positioned herself as the villain to prevent the students from feeling guilty. Houki Shinonono and Cecilia finally understood why Chifuyu Orimura was so rude during class.

However, what both girls wanted to complain about was that there were quite a few masochists in the class. Chifuyu Orimura's rudeness not only didn't scare those people, but it also made them feel good, and they even called Chifuyu Orimura "Big Sister".

Shinobu Houki said, "It feels a little uncomfortable to make everyone hate you, Chifuyu-nee."

Chifuyu Orimura said, "Actually, I'm not the only one who does this. Most of the training teachers at the academy are prepared to be disliked by the students. After all, our positions are different from those of the students. It's better to separate them sooner rather than later."

Cecilia, standing nearby, said, "Hou, although what Chifuyu-sensei said is a bit hard to accept, it is indeed the right thing to do. It's like when animal protection organizations rescue injured animals in the wild, they beat the animals they rescued before releasing them back into the wild. This is to keep those animals wary of humans so that they won't encounter dangers that could have been avoided due to trust when they meet humans again later."

Although what Cecilia said was not directly related to the academy's concerns, the core issue was the same: the academy needed to ensure the purity of its team, and this approach was tantamount to asking the teachers to pledge their loyalty, cutting off their escape route to prevent them from betraying the academy's interests.

While such an approach cannot eliminate all possibilities, it can certainly play a certain role.

Maya Yamada said, "There's no need to talk about such serious issues while on vacation. You two should keep this to yourselves and not bring it up outside. After all, as Chifuyu said, we all have our own stance, and direct conflict on issues involving bottom lines will only cause embarrassment for both sides."

Li Wei sighed inwardly, realizing that as long as one lives in this world, one is inevitably influenced by the external environment, and it is impossible to be completely self-centered. Different perspectives also mean that even if individuals can understand each other, they cannot accept each other's actions; in fact, mutual understanding can sometimes lead to ruthless acts.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Chifuyu Orimura is severing the bond between herself and her students so that if one day her students become her enemies because of their stance, she won't be unable to bring herself to do it out of consideration for their teacher-student relationship. To be honest, Li Wei feels quite sorry for Chifuyu Orimura.

Furthermore, there were some things that Chifuyu Orimura didn't say, and these things were done with Houki Shinonono's feelings in mind. The matter was that Chifuyu Orimura had been abandoned by the Japanese government, but in order to keep Chifuyu Orimura in check, the Orimura family was under house arrest and surveillance under the guise of protection. No matter where Chifuyu Orimura's parents went, there were more than a dozen intelligence agents secretly following them. If necessary, they would take down her parents and use them to threaten her.

...

Anyway, Li Wei himself couldn't accept such a thing. If anyone dared to harm his family, he would go berserk, and when he went berserk, he would want to kill.

Many people will die.

Without the IS armor, Chifuyu Orimura was just an ordinary person with slightly better physical abilities. Her individual combat skills weren't even up to par with top-tier soldiers, so how could she possibly fight against a nation? Therefore, with multiple forces balancing each other out, she was essentially kicked into the academy like a football, and for the safety of her family, Chifuyu Orimura had no choice but to accept this reality.

Li Wei said, "Once you become strong enough, many problems will no longer be problems. Don't you agree, Qian Dong?"

Chifuyu Orimura was a little confused. She didn't know what Li Wei meant by saying that, but she nodded nonetheless.
