Army Queen Bee Program

Both Connor and Gerald couldn't help but look at Ji Yu, who lowered his head very innocently.Although he was lucky, there was no guarantee that such a thing would never be discovered by the instructor.

At this moment, Aslan stood up, stood in front of the other two, looked up and met Edward's stern eyes, "Instructor, I'm sorry. This is my idea. Please don't..."

"I begged him to do this, please don't punish them." The boy's calm voice cut in, dispelling the heavy atmosphere between Aslan and Edward.

"Xiao An." Connor and Smith ran to Liu Ping'an at the same time.One left and one right, the two looked at each other, and Connor flinched involuntarily from the sharp gaze behind the monocle.

The previous panic was gone on the young man's face, his eyes were as calm as a waveless lake, only slightly tired.He walked up to Edward, "Instructor, they will accompany me here because of my request. Please bear the punishment of going out without permission for violating school rules this time."

"Families can apply to the school to allow the students to go out." Smith yelled from behind.

A cross appeared on Edward's head, and he gave him a hard look, warning the other party not to make trouble for him.But the latter turned a blind eye.

He lowered his head and met the boy's eyes with stern eyes, and the latter also looked back at him without fear.But the atmosphere between the two was not as shocking as when he and Aslan looked at each other.

Edward was the first to speak to break the silence.

"Article 15 of the school rules is not allowed to leave the school grounds without prior application, and article No. [-] prohibits going out after turning off the lights in the dormitory. Liu Ping'an, do you admit to violating the above regulations?"

"Yes." The boy replied calmly.

"Instructor, that's because..."

"Shut up, Gerald Baldwin, I'm not asking you." The stern tone forced Gerald, who was about to defend the boy, to shut his mouth.

"Can you tell me the reason?" Edward continued to ask without taking his eyes off the boy's face.

"Because I want to see my sister."

Originally, I thought that there was a special reason for the boy to go here to meet the girl in the middle of the night despite violating the school rules.But the reason is so simple, which surprised Aslan and others.

"No matter what, I have to personally confirm that what I want to protect still exists, and that is the reason why I continue to fight."

Aslan thought of Black's speech at the opening ceremony.

"Please remember that real soldiers do not fight for honor, let alone power and wealth, but to protect our home. To protect our parents, brothers, sisters, companions and friends."

At that time, he was thinking, this indifferent young man beside him has no home and lost his relatives, why is he fighting?

It turns out that the boy still has something he wants to protect.

Aslan suddenly felt reconciled. He wanted to become stronger and have more power, but not for political interests or system changes, but to protect what was important to him and the people who were important to him.That is a soldier, no, it should be said that that is what a man should do.

"By violating two school rules in a row and knowingly committing them, is this your self-consciousness as a soldier?" Edward's tone was very severe, pointing at the boy like a sharp sword.The latter stood up straight without fear, raised his head and replied in a forceful voice: "Liu Ping'an is willing to accept any punishment."

"Hey, I will protest to the school as a family member."

Edward shut Smith up again with a sharp glare.But someone doesn't like him at all.As an instructor, Edward had no choice but to heave a long sigh, "In view of your physical and mental condition, I will reserve the punishment for you."

Reserving the punishment means that the juvenile will not be punished for the time being.The students couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master Instructor! You are so kind!" Connor cheered.

Edward turned his gaze to Connor and the others, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "Did I say no punishment? It's just reserved for the time being. But for you..."

Connor shivered from his stare, and Ji Yu also had a bad feeling.

"The students in room 301 and 302 knew clearly that Liu Ping'an violated the school rules, not only didn't stop him, but also helped him go out without permission. Except for the four of you, those who stayed in the dormitory were also punished. Do one tomorrow before morning class A hundred push-ups, and a hundred school rules after school."

Connor hugged his head and wailed, while Ji Yu looked ashen, only Gerald was still dumbfounded and didn't respond.Edward turned to Aslan, "Aslan Elwes. As the class monitor, you allowed the students to violate the school rules, and you will be dismissed from today's position as class monitor."

"Wait a minute, instructor."

Seeing the boy's attempt to defend himself, Aslan put his hand on the boy's shoulder and shook his head at him.Then he looked up at Edward and answered calmly.

"Yes."

The nights in the sanatorium were eerily comfortable and silent, save for the chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the warm south.Smith got into the passenger seat and closed the door.

Pulling out a cigarette from his pocket, he was looking for a lighter, but found that Edward, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had already lit the lighter in his hand.He leaned over with a cigarette in his mouth, and the tip of the slender cigarette lit up with red sparks.

A wisp of white smoke slowly rises and dissolves in the night.

Smith took a deep breath, the air smelling of menthol tobacco.He watched the suspension vehicle in front of him slowly drive away, and the boy followed his companions back to the dormitory.

"Aren't you going back to school?"

Edward put his hands on the steering wheel and tapped his fingers, "That Miss Iger is..."

"It's Xiaoan's adopted sister. So you care about this."

Ignoring the chuckle from his colleague, he was actually a little bit jealous. "It's just as simple as a righteous sister?"

"If it wasn't what you think it is?" Smith shrugged, "The child saved her on the battlefield and thought she was very similar to his sister, so he took care of her all the time. The reason why the child needs to continue fighting, no, it should be He needs a reason to live."

Regarding Smith's words, Edward frowned, "So, treating that young lady is a condition for Xiao An to join the research project?"

"It's one of the conditions." Smith replied unhappily after being frustrated all of a sudden.

"Any other conditions?" Edward raised his eyebrows.

"Hey, I'm not a spy, why should I accept your interrogation?" Someone finally fought back violently.

Seeing that the other party looked like a cat with fried fur, Edward thought it was a little funny, and reached out to touch Smith's dangling left sea, and the latter slapped his hand away with one hand.

"I'm not a cat!"

"I know. I know." Edward saw the other party's gaze getting more and more fierce, so he had to raise his hands in surrender, "Don't be angry."

"Edward, take good care of that child." Smith leaned on the backrest, exhaling a long puff of white smoke. "The child has suffered a lot. I hope he can get out of that nightmare and live happily and comfortably."

The man looked forward with calm and deep eyes, and firmness was written on his handsome face.A deep male voice sounded in the carriage, his serious tone was like an oath.

"I will."
