Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 349 Starting Match with an Imperial General (28)

Edmund clenched his fists. This time, he would absolutely not give Shen Shuyi any face!
However, when the instructor fired the starting gun.

Before he could finish typing a set of commands, the mech was thrown to the ground again.

too fast!
The audience didn't even blink, completely unable to see how Shen Shuyi's mech defeated Edmund.

How could a giant mech be so agile and fast!
They were all equipped with the same model of mecha provided by the school, so why was Shen Shuyi's mecha more agile and faster than anyone else's, and why was her combat power so much greater?

Shen Shuyi slightly raised her chin, looking at Edmund and Hathaway, "A bet's a bet, who's going to go?"

"You guys don't even know what a rooster crows like?"

Her gaze swept over the audience. "Could you please turn on your personal computers and play a rooster crowing sound?"

Perhaps it was the faint smile on her lips that was so captivating that most people were unaware of the bet between Shen Shuyi and Edmund, and some people, not wanting to miss out on the excitement, even played a rooster crowing on the spot.

"Ooh ooh ooh~~~"

In front of everyone, Shen Shuyi asked again, "I won by sheer luck, Edmund and Hathaway, you're not trying to cheat, are you?"

Upon hearing this, there was another uproar, and those who knew the whole story of the bet began to tell others about the cause and effect.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the three people in the room, and some even started to chuckle.

Hathaway clenched her fists, her eyes red with anger.

Edmund was caught in a dilemma.

He regretted it; why did he agree to such a childish contest!
An S-rank Sentinel competing against a C-rank Guide? He must be out of his mind.
Edmund looked sharply at Hathaway. If it weren't for her meddling, he wouldn't have fallen for Shen Shuyi's provocation.

Now, he's being ridiculed and pointed at in the back by so many people at the military academy, being mocked for not behaving like a crown prince. Won't his father dislike him because of this? What if he loses his position as crown prince because of this?
Hathaway felt Edmund's cold gaze, shuddered, and immediately raised her hand to slap herself.

Her hand trembled as she lowered it, and she opened her mouth silently.

Shen Shuyi kindly took out a megaphone and clipped it to Hathaway's collar, saying, "Hathaway, did you not eat today? I didn't hear you. Speak louder so everyone can hear you."

"You don't want to be stuck here with His Highness the Prince, do you?"

"Shen Shuyi, you!" Hathaway was furious.

Asking her to crow like a rooster is worse than letting her die!
What's worse than death is being rejected by Edmund. She had finally regained Edmund's favor, and she absolutely couldn't let this cause her to climb the social ladder and become the enviable empress. If she killed Shen Shuyi, who would dare to mention the humiliation she suffered today?

Shen Shuyi watched with great interest as Hathaway imitated a rooster's crow, and watched Edmund angrily fling his sleeves and leave.

After the new semester's re-examination, Shen Shuyi's results stood out, shocking everyone present, and even her tutors were incredulous.

At first, people thought she was just lucky, but then it became clear to everyone that Shen Shuyi had changed.

Busy with classes, and no longer as eager to seek out Edmund as before, she achieved excellent grades in every subject, which was no simple matter of good luck.

Shen Shuyi finished writing her research theory on stimulating the genetic evolution of the entire population, and checked her communicator during her break.
After replying to a few of Xavier's messages, she browsed the StarNet for a while.

Scrolling down the Imperial Military Academy news page, there were several video links. Clicking on them revealed, without a doubt, videos of her beating Edmund, but the videos disappeared as soon as they were opened.

It should be harmonized.

However, the video of Hathaway imitating a rooster's crow by slapping herself is still hanging high on the screen.

System 66 was also engrossed in browsing, "Host, are you just going to let Hathaway and Edmund off like this?"

Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow slightly. “No rush. I want them to experience the feeling of despair first. Edmund, as the crown prince candidate, has now caused a scandal. How can such a naive prince be up to the empire’s responsibilities? Not to mention the ministers who have doubts, even the emperor has to consider it carefully.”

"As for Hathaway, the Duke of Windsor, considering the family's honor, will certainly not let her off easily. Who would want a noble lady who would embarrass herself by crowing like a rooster?"

She spoke slowly, and 66 shuddered as it listened; its host was a bit cunning.

After this incident, Edmund and Hathaway's lives will be anything but easy; they won't be able to hold their heads high even at military school.

Just as Shen Shuyi finished chatting with 66, Xavier's video call rang. Shen Shuyi clicked to answer, and a man's low laughter came from the other end of the line.

"Shuyi, you're great."

Shen Shuyi grabbed a cushion and tucked it behind her back, then nestled on the sofa and video-chatted with him, "You know everything?"

"Hmm." Xavier still exuded a chilling aura on the other end of the call. "I saw it. You look really cool piloting your mech."

Shen Shuyi looked pleased, and her smile was beautiful and captivating.

Xavier then realized that his wife was not only intelligent, but also dangerous.

But he grew to like it more and more.

Even through the screen, Shen Shuyi caught a glimpse of the admiration in his eyes, and a sly glint flashed in her own.

"General, come a little closer."

As Xavier moved his handsome face closer to the light screen, she unexpectedly kissed him on the cheek through the screen.

Xavier's ears suddenly burned, and his heart raced.

He spoke in a hoarse voice, "I really want to go back to you right now, Shuyi."

Before video communication, Xavier was a fearsome warrior on the battlefield, fighting against the Zerg. But now, looking at his wife through the video, his eyes were gentle and tender.

Shen Shuyi simply kissed him on the cheek through the screen, and he wanted to kneel down at her feet.

"Then when will you come back?"

Xavier: "Almost there, we've already reached the Queen's lair."

"General, be careful." The Queen Insect is not so easy to kill. Shen Shuyi changed her posture and said, "Next week I will be going to Panan Star for practical training."

Panan is an abandoned planet with a surface covered in giant poisonous fungi and high levels of radiation.

The insectoid race on this planet excels at ambushes, and even their carapaces have optical camouflage. Therefore, military academy students need to engage in anti-submarine warfare to hone their superb reconnaissance and combat skills, adaptability, and survival abilities.

Xavier had never been to Parnam, but he had been to many planets similar to Parnam. During a video call, he shared many tips on surviving on abandoned planets with Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi listened attentively, "General, I suddenly miss you a little."

"I miss you so much, Shuyi." Xavier chuckled softly, the sound of his laughter hitting Shen Shuyi's eardrums through the communication device, his voice very close.

Should I lull you to sleep tonight?

Shen Shuyi refused, "No, if you start coaxing me, it'll never end, and I won't be able to sleep all night!"

Don't let the general's honest appearance fool you; the wolf inside him is already itching to pounce.

But when Shen Shuyi saw Xavier unbutton his collar with one hand, take off his combat uniform to reveal his eight-pack abs, and hang up the communication to go to the bathroom to take a shower, she cried out.

"and many more!"

"What's wrong?" Xavier turned to look at her.

"Are you going to take a shower?" Shen Shuyi asked him.

"Hmm, my combat suit got sticky from cleaning up the Zerg."

"I want to see you wash," Shen Shuyi said, moving closer to the camera.

Xavier pushed open the bathroom door and paused, his eyes darkening. "Are you sure?"
