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

Chapter 350 Starting Match with an Imperial General (29)

Shen Shuyi finally saw the broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs she hadn't seen in a long time.
Of course, Xavier also received his share of perks. When the video call ended, the man gritted his teeth, his deep blue eyes staring intently at the person in the video, his Adam's apple bobbing.

His voice was terribly hoarse, "I'll deal with you when we get back."

Shen Shuyi blushed and quickly hung up the call.

……

Before heading to Panan Star for the practical trial, Shen Shuyi sent the improved mecha charging and weapon loading system to Xavier. Xavier then contacted the Hermes Star research team to develop a new type of mecha based on the design she provided.

She developed some better-tasting nutritional supplements, which she planned to take during her combat training on Panan Star. After returning from this training, she could apply to open a store selling these nutritional supplements.

Shen Shuyi was listening to her instructor talk about Panan Star and the requirements for forming a training team in class.

"Four people per team, ideally with a sentry and a guide in each team to coordinate operations."

"Free team formation is allowed, but Panan Star requires stealth operations, and individual guerrilla warfare is also acceptable."

In other words, try to team up with others; otherwise, you'll have to go alone, which greatly increases the risk.

After class, the classroom suddenly became lively as everyone started looking for classmates to work with.

Shen Shuyi didn't move, but instead wrote and drew on the paper with her pen.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, making the scene appear exceptionally beautiful to others. Her long, dark hair reached her waist, her swan-like neck was snow-white, her face was delicate, and her pale icy green eyes were exceptionally bright and expressive.

During this period, many people's impressions of her have undergone a complete transformation.

A former underachiever at the Imperial Military Academy is now a gifted, intelligent, and beautiful guide. Many people stood up, eager to go over and invite her to join their team.

Edmund watched as his classmates went one by one to invite Shen Shuyi to team up, and his expression was somewhat complicated.

He had already been severely reprimanded by his mother for losing to Shen Shuyi in the last mecha competition and making such a fool of himself at the military academy, and she told him to stay away from Shen Shuyi.

His mother had explicitly forbidden him from seeing Hathaway again, but Hathaway was now his savior, and she loved him so much, to the point of being willing to give her life for him. How could he remain unmoved?
Furthermore, why hasn't Father made him Crown Prince yet? Is it because he has repeatedly embarrassed himself?
Edmund clenched his fists. He was determined to win first place in this practical trial, so that his father would surely make him the crown prince!
Seeing Edmund lost in thought, Hathaway exclaimed in surprise, "Edmund, look, so many people are inviting our eldest sister! Why don't we go invite her too?"

"Although we had a falling out, I still consider her my older sister. She's so amazing now, we're definitely more likely to win first place in our group if we team up with her."

Hathaway understood that Edmund was under immense pressure, and she simply wanted to help him share the burden. Since Shen Shuyi was so capable, she was willing to put aside past grievances and team up with her.

Edmund wasn't sure if he was listening; he was in a state of turmoil. At this point, he realized that Shen Shuyi no longer liked him.

A sense of resentment welled up in his heart, but he also didn't want to admit that he couldn't compare to Lancaster's position in Shen Shuyi's heart.

Shen Shuyi politely declined those who invited her to team up. In her previous life, the original owner of this body was betrayed by her teammates and almost died under the sharp teeth of the insectoids. In this life, she would rather fight alone than have landmines by her side.

Just then, her so-called "teammates" from her previous life walked towards her.

Shen Shuyi slowly drew the design sketches, and Edmund and Hathaway stood in front of her seat for a while, but she didn't look up.

Edmund frowned. "Panam is dangerous. You're only a C-rank guide, your combat skills are too weak. Do you want to team up with us?"

He believed that Shen Shuyi had no reason to refuse. After all, they had been engaged, and he was more reliable and better able to protect her safety than her classmates.

What's more, he's an S-class Sentinel, and there are only a handful of S-class Sentinels in the entire military academy!

Hathaway stared at Shen Shuyi. She didn't want Shen Shuyi to join the team, but for the sake of the bigger picture, she had no choice but to compromise.

Shen Shuyi didn't even look up, only replying indifferently.

"Sorry, I have no intention of teaming up with you."

"Elder sister, is it because you have a problem with me that you refused?" Hathaway asked, puzzled. "Don't act impulsively, okay? We're both from the Windsor family, would I ever harm you?" Edmund was even more confused. He agreed with Hathaway's words; Shen Shuyi was really being willful.

"Who knows? You might really get me into trouble." Shen Shuyi closed her book and stood up, giving Hathaway and Edmund a meaningful look.

"I wouldn't dare team up with you guys."

Shen Shuyi left the classroom, and Edmund was furious; he chased after her.

Behind them, the students who saw this scene quickly took photos with their wrist-mounted personal computers and posted them on the military academy's StarNet forum.

I'm sooooooooooooooo!
What did they see?

Shen Shuyi openly rejected Prince Edmund!
It seems the rumors were true! No wonder they broke off their engagement in the first place.

People downstairs were asking what the rumors were.
Shen Shuyi carried the books back to her apartment, and Edmund chased after her, saying, "Shen Shuyi, wait a minute."

Hathaway also caught up with Shen Shuyi and stopped her, putting on a pitiful and weak appearance.

"Elder sister, I was wrong before. Please don't hold a grudge against Edmund. Edmund meant well. Please agree."

"Edmund has S-level mental strength, so you'll definitely be safer teaming up with him."

Shen Shuyi thought the two of them were seriously mentally ill. Were they so unable to understand human language? What kind of thought process led them to believe that the enemy would be willing to team up with them?

They had clearly already broken off all pretense of civility.

Shen Shuyi chuckled, "Even if I'm just a C-level guide, there's no need for me to team up with you."

"Don't make it sound like I'm getting a huge advantage by teaming up with you guys."

"Shen Shuyi!" Edmund emphasized, "Don't you realize how foolish you've become?"

"It would be foolish of me to team up with you." Shen Shuyi showed no respect to the prince and pushed Hathaway away before leaving.

Edmund, enraged, shouted, "You'll regret this!"

……

Shen Shuyi filled out the personal trial form and was about to hand it to her mentor when she ran into Dailina on the way.

Delina wasn't in the same class as her, but the instructor had said that people from different classes could also team up to participate in the trial.

"Shuyi, have you found teammates yet? I'm still short one, could you join us?"

Shen Shuyi looked at the beautiful noblewoman in front of her. She had beautiful blonde hair and used to be a friend of the original owner of this body. However, after the drugging incident, regardless of whether Delina was involved or not, she did not intend to have much contact with this woman.

"Delina, thank you for your kindness, but I've already filled out the form and can't team up with you."

Delina noticed that she had filled out a single-person form and was puzzled. "It's too dangerous for you to be alone."

"I heard you rejected Edmund. Shuyi, didn't you love him very much before?"

Shen Shuyi chuckled, "You said that was in the past, Dalina. People change. I don't like him anymore."

"Besides, I'm already married, so it's a bit presumptuous of you to ask that."

Delina blushed. "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

Shen Shuyi's preference for Edmund was common knowledge within the Coruscant aristocratic circles.
