The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

Xu Xi's lips curled down slightly, and she made a disappointed and disdainful expression. She stretched out her small hand and kept shaking the man's arm while muttering to herself.

"It's clearly my brother talking nonsense. She was standing naked in front of him, but he didn't even react. He's clearly impotent and can't even satisfy her."

"A nobody, a nobody, a nobody, my brother is a nobody, a weak and stubborn nobody~"

Upon hearing these provocative words, a wicked fire instantly ignited in Xu Nian's heart. The drowsiness in her mind gradually faded away, replaced by a surge of heat.

He turned his head, looked at the girl muttering to herself, and swallowed hard.

Even though the two of them had been completely honest with each other countless times, he could still feel a fresh thrill every time he saw Xu Xi dressed in "The Empress's New Clothes".

Her delicate face, snow-white and smooth skin, petite and exquisite figure... every inch of this girl's appearance perfectly matched his aesthetic standards.

Or perhaps it's because she's the girl he loves most, so he likes everything about her, including his own aesthetic sense, which is completely based on her appearance.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking over here?"

Xu Xi pouted and grumbled unhappily.

"What a mess! My brother is only in his early thirties and he's already past his prime. It seems he really will have to shave his head and become a nun at Sister Xiaoman's nunnery for the rest of his life."

Xu Nian's cheeks burned from being teased, and the lust within him grew stronger. He jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the storage room without saying a word. He grabbed a bottle of Long Teng's ancestral medicine, then ran quickly to the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

Xu Xi looked at the closed bathroom door and assumed that her brother was deliberately avoiding her. She sighed in disappointment, sat on the sofa, dangling her legs, and looked utterly dejected.

They had no idea what they were about to face.

Twenty minutes later, the bathroom door was forcefully opened.

Amidst the hazy mist, a man with red eyes and an aura of intense heat emerged.

His eyes were filled with urgency and burning intensity, tinged with a hint of mania, making him look exactly like a venomous snake ready to devour someone.

Xu Xi was startled. Several memories of Sister Xi from the past suddenly popped into her mind. She instantly realized that something was wrong and wanted to get up and run away.

But it was all too late.

......

"ah!"

......

"Waaah... Brother, be gentle..."

......

"Waaaaah... I was wrong..."

......

In the following days, due to health reasons, student "Xu Yiran" was unable to participate in military training.

When Long Teng heard the news, he was overjoyed. He couldn't stop smiling and almost jumped up on the spot.

Without his sister-in-law's constraints, he finally returned to being the "local emperor" of the financial sector, reverting to his former strict demeanor and wreaking havoc within the sector without any further restraint.

Correspondingly, without the "Xu Yiran" sword, the student "resistance army" led by Xiao Chen could no longer pose any threat to Tyrannosaurus Rex. They could only live a miserable life under the "evil and brutal" rule of Long Teng, obediently accepting high-intensity training.

Ultimately, this momentous uprising came to an end in the most unexpected way.

These days, whenever Jiang Xun and the others ask Xu Nian about Xu Yiran's illness and her physical condition, Xu Nian just laughs it off and gives a perfunctory answer.

"She sprained her ankle and has to rest at home these days; she can't get out of bed."

In fact, only half of that statement is true.

It's not that I sprained my ankle; it's true that I can't get out of bed.

Under Longteng's rigorous training requirements, the finance class he led unsurprisingly won first place in the military training performance a few days later.

Long Teng successfully received the Outstanding Instructor award and was immediately beaming with pride, showing off to his men.

"See that? An outstanding instructor, pure gold!"

Long Teng placed one foot on a stool, waving the gleaming gold medal in front of his brothers, then held it up to his nose, squinted, and took a deep breath: "Ninety-nine percent, a rare find!"

The brothers were green with envy at his blatant boasting.

After spending half a month under the sun, Long Teng reaped both fame and fortune, winning both a medal and a prize.

But they had nothing; they were just tools to be used.

Anyone would feel resentful in that situation.

On the other hand, counselor Qin Xin was also very happy to learn that her class's formation had won first place in the military training performance. She paid out of her own pocket to buy a lot of delicious snacks and drinks for the students.

"If you ask me, all the suffering we endured these past two weeks was worth it, even if we got a scolding from the Tyrannosaurus Rex!" Xiao Chen's mouth was stuffed with chocolate, his hands were covered in chocolate sauce, and his words were a little slurred. "These snacks taste so good. I usually can't bear to buy them; they're all high-end stuff."

"Look at you, so pathetic." Jiang Xun sat down beside him, laughing and crying at the same time. He took some snacks from his arms and distributed them to Xu Nian and Luo Chen beside him, teasing, "You're bought off with just a few snacks? Commander Xiao, when are you going to keep your promise from the other day? Lead the brothers to raid the Tyrannosaurus Rex's lair and get revenge!"

Xiao Chen's cheeks flushed slightly. He coughed awkwardly twice and scratched his head, "I... I was just bragging. Military training is over, why would I bother with that Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

After saying that, he picked up the beer can in his hand and held it up in front of everyone. "Come on, cheers! To freedom, to the end of this damn military training."

Jiang Xun and Luo Chen raised their beer cans and clinked glasses with him one by one.

Xu Nian picked up a glass of juice and gently clinked it against his: "I won't drink it, I have to drive and run errands later."

"Come on, Uncle Xu," Xiao Chen chuckled and teased. "Is it because your wife is strict and won't let you drink?"

Having her thoughts exposed, Xu Nian scratched the back of her head sheepishly, chuckled awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject: "Where's Su Zhe? I haven't seen him."

Luo Chen thought for a moment: "I think I just saw him go to the counselor's office. He must have something to do. After all, he's the class monitor, and he's quite busy with a lot of work."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun couldn't help but chuckle, almost bursting out laughing.

"What are you laughing at, Lao Jiang?" Xiao Chen asked, puzzled, not understanding what he found funny.

"It's nothing." Jiang Xun waved his hand and looked at Xu Nian. "Uncle Xu, how about we get together at our dorm? I bought some ingredients for hot pot, let's celebrate."
