Chapter 83: The World Kisses Me with Pain, So I French Kiss It Back!

Ji Laili stared and stared, then gradually became confused.

What’s going on here?

Clearly, Senior Shen had given up trying to stop this mess and had fully embraced the role of a spectator.

With no other choice, the little puppy raised his hands in surrender, tugging up the corner of his slightly bruised lips into a helpless smile. “Alright, alright, ge, your analysis is really spot on.”

“As expected of top Alphas.”

“So impressive.” Ji Laili opened his star-brain interface and sent out an enthusiastic invitation. “How about adding me as a friend? You can teach me sometime.”

The Alphas: “……”

They kept straight faces, suppressing their expressions with great effort, but one by one, they all opened their star-brains and scanned his request.

In the end, Ji Laili’s eyes curved with laughter as he kindly advised, “Ge, your analysis was great, but maybe you shouldn’t analyze so much next time.”

“Be careful not to overwork yourselves.”

The Alphas, completely oblivious to the true meaning behind his words, were deeply touched.

“Don’t worry, we’ve got your back from now on!”

“We’ll analyze even more thoroughly! Sooner or later, Shen Yu will be kneeling at your military boots!”

Ji Laili: “……”

Imagining that scene, Ji Laili suddenly felt like his dream from last night might actually come true.

“Th-this doesn’t seem right…”

“What’s wrong with it?” Lei Po fully supported the idea. “Show some Alpha dominance!”

Alpha…dominance?!

Ji Laili panicked, instinctively blurting out a Federal law, “No! According to Federal Law, rape is punishable by castration first, execution second. That’s a crime!”

His face was filled with righteousness, and Lei Po choked on his words.

After a long moment of silence, Lei Po finally managed to speak. “Was that what I meant? Strong Alpha, strong Alpha—not forcing someone!”

“Eh—?” Ji Laili was dumbfounded. “That’s not what it meant?”

“Then… then what about that ‘shooting’…” Ji Laili hesitated, then pushed through with determination.

“Ohhh, that.” Lei Po raised an eyebrow righteously. “I meant you should shoot a whole magazine of bullets at him.”

“Just like I did that day, get it?”

I don’t get it, but I’m incredibly shocked.

Ji Laili’s face was blank. Did they have to phrase things in such a way that fit an HHH world so perfectly just to scare him?

He turned to Zhai Yifei, who gave him a slight nod, his expression calm and amused.

Alright, no need to say more. He understood now—Zhai ge didn’t mean it that way either. But could these Alphas please learn how to talk properly?!

Ji Laili let out a deep sigh and called out to his system.

“System ge, this world is so dangerous.”

【What do you mean?】

“Look, I’ve already been mentally assimilated by this world.”

He grew increasingly bitter. “Damn you, HHH!”

The system fell silent. Then, as if struggling to find the right words, it sighed.

【It’s fine. Everyone has a massive H-filled heart deep down. It’s normal to let it out once in a while.】

Ji Laili: !

He refused to accept this. But just as he was about to argue, the system wisely changed the subject.

【No need to be upset. Someone else is even more upset than you.】

That person was Eugene.

Eugene had arrived confidently, thinking he had finally found his people—only to be ruthlessly kicked out.

Utterly defenseless.

Eugene was so furious he nearly exploded. His rage burned as he shouted, “I thought you guys were smart enough to understand what I meant!”

“I am smart enough to understand what you meant. And you understand what I mean. A smart person should understand that I understand what you understand.”

“Do you understand?!”

Eugene questioned loudly, only for his voice to suddenly drop into a bitter laugh, as if all the strength had been drained from him.

“Too bad. You don’t.”

“I’m the only smart one here. A bunch of dumb Alphas.”

A bunch? That was quite the wide net to cast. Ji Laili watched as the Alphas, who had been dumbfounded by Eugene’s rant, instantly turned their attention toward him with unified aggression.

Ah.

Ji Laili gave Eugene three seconds of silence in mourning.

Then, he took a step back, vacated the battlefield, and turned to find Shen Yu.

Like everyone else, Ji Laili had been paying close attention to Shen Yu’s dark circles, sneaking glances at them multiple times.

His curiosity had been building up since morning. “What’s going on? Did you have insomnia?”

“Or…” Noticing something unusual in the dormitory, Ji Laili hesitated before testing the waters. “Or, Senior, do you also feel like something’s off lately?”

Shen Yu’s usual response of ‘It’s nothing’ got stuck in his throat. He paused briefly before maintaining his usual expression. “I just didn’t sleep well.”

“Has anything seemed off to you lately?”

Ji Laili nodded. “A little.”

With so many people around, he didn’t want to raise suspicion. So, smiling innocently, he chose a trivial example. “Like, we both had trouble sleeping last night, and when I woke up, the corner of my mouth was busted.”

He touched his lips, not noticing how Shen Yu’s jaw suddenly tensed.

“It’s just a tiny wound, and yet those guys analyzed it for ages. Too bad for them…”

Ji Laili chuckled. “They were completely wrong!”

Shen Yu’s tension eased, his gaze shifting slightly away from Ji Laili’s lips. “Does it hurt?”

“Hmm?” Ji Laili laughed. “Nope! It’s just a tiny scrape, barely even a wound.”

For such a minor injury, if he acted like it hurt, wouldn’t that be way too fragile?

Shen Yu’s lips curled into a faint smile. “That’s good.”

While the two of them talked as if no one else was around, Eugene was struggling against the combined assault of the Alphas, completely outnumbered.

Off to the side, an instructor, who had been casually watching the drama unfold, suddenly joined in, giving the Alphas pointers.

With a righteous expression, he declared, “Aren’t you the assistant instructor? Now’s the perfect time for you to step in!”

“Show some self-sacrifice as an assistant instructor.”

Sacrifice my ass!

Eugene was riddled with metaphorical bullet wounds, some of which couldn’t even be picked out anymore. In a fit of frustration, as he took off his jacket, he couldn’t hold back and hurled it onto the ground.

The sound of buttons scattering filled the air, rolling away like marbles.

Eugene: “……”

How could he, Eugene, have fallen to such a state?!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Were those blind Alphas really unable to see that something was off between Ji Laili and Shen Yu?!

Eugene was filled with unspoken resentment. The only person he could turn to was one—Instructor Philo.

Eugene opened his star-brain and poured out his frustration in a long rant to Philo. The other party hadn’t even finished typing a reply before Eugene sent another wave of messages, completely flooding the screen with his rage!

After venting, he made a firm and impassioned declaration: Shen Yu and Ji Laili are definitely involved with each other!!

[Philo]: …Hmm, makes some sense.

The response was brief, but it was enough to comfort Eugene!

“Choosing Instructor Philo was the right decision after all.”

His shattered heart felt slightly better, but he was still unwilling to let this go. His judgment was not wrong—the fools at the Federal Military Academy were the ones who were wrong.

Holding onto this conviction, Eugene gathered the evidence he had on hand, prepared his arguments, and headed straight for the largest forum in the Federation—Little Green Book.

First, he went on a passionate rant about the idiots within the Federation. Then, he composed a nearly 1,000-word post meticulously detailing everything suspicious he had observed between Shen Yu and Ji Laili.

To wrap it all up, he poured out his feelings of being a misunderstood genius, neglected and unappreciated, drowned in loneliness.

“The world kisses me with pain, so I French kiss it back!”

Eugene sneered. “You people think you can break me? I will expose… huh?” ^[1]Poor Eugene hahahahahaha
