"Li Feng, I have only met Huang Chaoyang twice, once for business and the other at a debate. We are not very familiar with each other."
After Mark left, Tang Ling suddenly uttered this sentence inexplicably, as if she was explaining something to Li Feng. But as the words left her mouth, she felt that there was no need to explain, and her face turned red in an instant. She lost her usual composure, not knowing what had come over her.
Li Feng chuckled, which made Tang Ling even more embarrassed. "Don't laugh, don't laugh!" she said, but she herself couldn't help but laugh. Li Feng laughed even louder, and the two of them seemed to have broken through a barrier, bringing them closer together. In fact, both of them were interested in each other, but neither had expressed it.
This is precisely one of the most wonderful stages of love.
"Okay, stop laughing. Let's go find the principal and get our student cards." The cards for special admissions students are different, and many areas of the school are only accessible to certain levels of students. This is mainly to prevent chaos, as this is a higher military academy that is also involved in research work, and there must be a certain order and level of secrecy.
Tang Ling nodded nimbly. She was very happy and filled with a sense of excitement. In front of others, she was always a perfect princess, but in front of Li Feng, she often embarrassed herself. It was not the first time, but she didn't feel burdened by it. She just acted coquettishly and played a little temper. After learning that Li Feng had been recommended, Tang Ling's self-imposed barrier suddenly opened up. Girls like her tend to easily become fixated on a person, and she was no exception, especially when it comes to first love.
"Be honest, did you deceive the teacher during your physical fitness test?"
"What deception? I took the test seriously."
"Don't lie to me. Huang Chaoyang is a mobile suit pilot, and your grip strength is even stronger than his. How could your test score only rank in the middle?"
"Heh, I was too nervous that day, had an upset stomach, and my whole body was weak. Just now I was trying to show off in front of the beautiful girl."
Tang Ling wrinkled her nose skeptically, "Hmph, all you do is talk nonsense. How many girls have you fooled with your smooth tongue?"
"Oops, I'm a new recruit, how could any girls be interested in me?"
Li Feng really didn't have much experience dealing with girls, which was truly unfair.
"Is that so? Well, that's good."
As she spoke, Tang Ling wanted to cover her mouth. What was going on? She kept making mistakes today.
When they arrived at the principal's office, the old man smiled and looked at the two of them, "Very good, Tang Ling, a genius in mobile suits. We all have high expectations for you."
"Yes, principal. I will work hard. My father asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!"
"Heh heh, if that boy really misses me, he should donate more money to the school. After all, he can't spend it all himself."
Tang Ling and Li Feng couldn't help but smile. Principal Babara was indeed as interesting as the rumors suggested, not a rigid person.
Babara's gaze turned to Li Feng, "Li Feng?"
"Yes, principal!"
"What is your goal?"
"A general, principal!"
"Heh heh, young people are full of energy, I like that. Don't you want to know why you were specially recruited?" Babara stroked his beard and asked.
Li Feng showed a confident smile, "Principal, you will be proud of that decision!"
Tang Ling and Babara were both surprised by Li Feng's "arrogant" answer, which did not fit his usual style. Of course, many years later, Babara would recall that the best decision he ever made in his life was to admit Li Feng against all odds.
"Very well, I look forward to your performance. Here is your student card."
Holding the student card, Li Feng felt that he had taken a real step towards his goal. Li Feng was not a conservative person and would speak to anyone he met. Since Yalang had invited him specially, he must have noticed something, perhaps even related to Zhou Zhi. There was no need to lie in front of the truth.
"Tang Ling, shall we have lunch together?"
"Uh, sure," Tang Ling nodded instinctively. She was still savoring Li Feng's domineering attitude towards Principal Babara earlier. This person was really strange. He was very ordinary when facing some ordinary people, but he was unusually arrogant when facing some big shots. Even she had to be humble in front of Principal Babara, yet he could be so upright and confident, and what was even more surprising was that the principal actually spoke so openly in his favor.
What secrets does Li Feng still have? Tang Ling was not in a hurry. She had plenty of time to get to know him slowly.
The cafeteria was always the most lively and gossipy place. As one of the top USE colleges, the school naturally could not treat these future elites poorly. The freshmen were talking to each other like curious babies, and the seniors naturally did not forget to show off their qualifications.
As soon as Li Feng and Tang Ling stepped into the cafeteria, they caused a lot of whispers. After all, Tang Ling was so attractive.
In the eyes of the onlookers, Li Feng continued to eat and drink heartily, without any shyness because of Tang Ling sitting opposite him. Tang Ling was already used to Li Feng's way of eating, and he also had a very large appetite.
"Excuse me, are these seats taken?"
Although there were many people, it was not overcrowded for the well-funded military academy. However, it was difficult to refuse when a beautiful girl took the initiative to join them.
Seeing that Li Feng and Tang Ling did not react, "Tang Ling, right? I'm Mu Xue, your classmate from the command department. Nice to meet you."
"Mu Xue, please sit wherever you like. It's nice to meet you, the first in the command department."
"Thank you."
Mu Xue elegantly placed her plate and looked interestedly at Li Feng. Whoever could sit and eat with Miss Tang was probably not an ordinary person. However… this person seemed a bit ordinary and did not have a noble temperament. His clothes were also very ordinary, wearing just a simple T-shirt. On the other hand, Tang Ling was wearing a top-notch brand that was definitely not cheaper than an evening dress. It was really strange.
"And who might this be?"
Li Feng glanced at Mu Xue and nodded slightly, then quickly continued eating.
"Li Feng, a new student in the mecha warfare department."
