Tong Si Nian frowned as he spoke, “The current dean is Ye Lin Yuan, a former classmate of mine. He is a very… extreme guy.”
Although Tong Si Nian had some acquaintance with him, it was limited to a casual relationship.
Ye Lin Yuan held himself to exceptionally high standards. During his school years, he set a record for academic GPA that had never been matched since the academy’s founding, becoming an object of admiration for everyone.
In written tests and practical combat, he excelled in every subject.
Just three years after graduation, he had risen to the position of dean of the entire academy.
Ye Lin Yuan implemented a series of reforms in the military academy; in the past, slacking off and relying on gifts might have earned a diploma.
But that was no longer the case.
The daily drills had already caused many alphas to complain, let alone the heavy coursework. If anyone failed a class, they faced automatic retention after the first failure and dismissal after the second.
“Right, if it’s too exhausting, we shouldn’t let Sui Sui go. We don’t need that diploma from the Military Academy,” Tong’s mother said. “With Si Nian here, the group doesn’t need Sui Sui worrying. As long as he is happy, I don’t expect him to achieve any specific results.”
It’s this kind of attitude that shapes a person’s character.
Tong Si Nian found it hard to say anything.
He feared that Tong Sui’s words today were just a passing fancy; after all, he had done similar things too many times before.
Tong Si Nian said, “Hmm, I’ll confirm with him again.”
Meanwhile, upstairs, Tong Sui, suppressing the pangs of hunger in his stomach, was contemplating the start of the school year.
Just three days left.
That is, 72 hours, 4320 minutes, 259200 seconds.
Tong Sui sighed, “It’s still a long way off. Can I go look for him early?”
System: [No, that doesn’t fit your character setting.]
Tong Sui: “…”
Well, fine then.
“School starts; I need to prepare. It should be normal to go a day early,” Tong Sui said. “I’ll pack my things first.”
Tong Sui opened the closet; his other hand was injured, so he could only pack with his right hand.
The closet was filled with expensive clothes, and this young master never skimps on himself.
Moreover, in his past life, all his clothes were picked by Bai Xing Luo, so wearing different outfits didn’t matter to him.
He opened his suitcase and randomly tossed a few pieces of clothing inside.
At that moment, the door was knocked again.
As soon as Tong Si Nian entered, he saw this scene and frowned, “Are you planning to run away from home again?”
“Huh? No!” Tong Sui looked up. “I’m just packing my things, getting ready for school.”
Tong Si Nian approached and scrutinized him closely.
He didn’t seem to be lying, but given Tong Sui’s numerous transgressions in the past, Tong Si Nian found it hard to believe that Tong Sui had suddenly become motivated.
Tong Si Nian said, “Give me one reason why you absolutely must go to the Military Academy.”
“Uh…”
A reason.
Tong Sui couldn’t just say it was to complete a mission and to find Bai Xing Luo…
Seeing Tong Sui’s hesitant tone and expression once again made Tong Si Nian frown. He squatted down in front of Tong Sui.
Although he was only seven years older than Tong Sui, in this age of interstellar beings where the average life span was over two hundred years, that age difference didn’t seem significant at all.
Yet his aura was cultivated in the business world, providing an imposing pressure.
Tong Sui couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous, whispering, “Brother, can I not say it?”
“What do you think?”
How could this be happening…
According to the original plot, Tong Si Nian would have packed him off to the Military Academy, thinking that a strict regime would correct Tong Sui’s flaws.
Now that he wanted to go, he couldn’t.
Tong Sui could only blush and confess softly, “There’s someone I like there, so I want to go…”
Tong Si Nian was taken aback.
He had considered many reasons, like wanting to enhance the academy’s reputation for prestige or to continue hanging around with that group of friends.
But he never imagined this possibility.
The Empire’s Military Academy was primarily filled with alphas, but there were also a few exceptionally talented betas.
Tong Sui liked a beta?
Though it was rare, AB pairings weren’t entirely absent.
His brother was good-looking and didn’t seem like an alpha, but genetically speaking, he was indeed a genuine alpha.
Seeing Tong Sui’s blushing face, which looked like a budding first love, a previously indifferent Tong Si Nian strangely began to feel a new and unexpected worry.
Tong Si Nian asked, “What’s the name of the person you like?”
“I can’t tell you that,” Tong Sui replied. “I’ve already given you my reason, so can I go to the Military Academy now?”
Tong Si Nian: “…”
He was actually worried about alphas being deceived; what could they be tricked into? Compared to an omega marked with permanent repercussions, alphas shouldn’t suffer losses at all.
“Okay, I’ll make arrangements for you.”
“Great! Then I’ll keep packing.”
Tong Sui seemed completely unaffected by his injured left hand, happily crouched on the floor, folding clothes.
Seeing his cheerful demeanor, Tong Si Nian’s brows furrowed even more. “I’ll take you there on the first day of school.”
“Oh, there’s no need for that,”
Tong Sui remembered that Tong Si Nian had to work hard every day and hardly had time to meet with him.
“I can go by myself; your work is more important.”
“I’ll take you, that’s final.”
After saying that, Tong Si Nian turned and left.
Work was important, but his younger brother was even more important; he didn’t want to see Tong Sui being foolishly deceived out there, still blissfully unaware.
Back in his room, Tong Si Nian prepared to change clothes for work; although there were still two days left, he increasingly felt that it wasn’t secure enough.
He tossed his tie onto the desk and opened his holographic computer.
He scrolled through a stack of dusty names in his contacts list.
