The dean graduated from the medical department of the military academy, but he was a few years older than Ye Linyuan and wore glasses in a refined manner. His name tag on the lab coat read Liang Chi.
Liang Chi flipped through the report and sighed deeply.
“…… Is it an incurable disease?” Ye Linyuan asked. Liang Chi tossed the report onto the desk and leaned back nonchalantly. “You can take a look for yourself.”
Ye Linyuan picked up the report from the desk. He read through it thoroughly; even though he wasn’t a medical student, he had studied all the medical subjects briefly at least once. All the examination items on the report were within the acceptable range.
Liang Chi remarked, “With your top-tier alpha status, don’t even mention incurable diseases; you probably hardly even experience headaches or fevers, right?” Indeed, Ye Linyuan had rarely been sick, so that unusual fever a few days ago had caught his attention. Although it lasted only a short time, that inexplicable heat, spreading from the glands, had caused his pheromones to go out of control.
Ye Linyuan stared at the report, frowning. Was he overthinking it?
Tong Sui hid behind a corner for a while. Ye Linyuan. He kept repeating that name in his mind until the footsteps faded away, becoming inaudible. Suddenly, a hurried voice approached and grabbed his hand.
“Why did you run all the way here?” Tong Sui looked up to meet Tong Si Nian’s anxious expression. Just as he was about to say sorry, a hand pressed against his forehead.
Tong Si Nian let out a heavy sigh of relief, “Thankfully, it’s not hot anymore.” After the doctor confirmed it, Tong Sui was discharged from the hospital smoothly.
“Great, you’re finally back! It was such a torment to see Mom. I felt so distressed,” Tong’s mother said as she patted Tong Sui’s back. “You must be hungry; let’s go eat.” Tong Sui felt uncomfortable with her excessive enthusiasm and merely nodded. Fortunately, the original owner of this body was a headstrong child, so his detachment and indifference didn’t seem too out of place.
The aunt at the villa had already prepared light meals, which were especially suitable for recovery after being ill. Tong Sui didn’t have much appetite; he just ate a few bites to complete his task before putting down the spoon.
“I’m full.” Tong Si Nian took out the student ID and school uniform he was supposed to give him yesterday. The Imperial Military Academy’s uniform was a pure white Western-style outfit, adorned with a golden thread stitching the school emblem on the chest. Different grades had different stars on the epaulets; being a first-year student, he only had a single little golden star.
“Your admission application has been approved. Take good care of yourself today; if all is well, I’ll take you there tomorrow.” Tong Sui held the school uniform and said softly, “Thank you, brother. Sorry for the trouble last night.”
Tong Si Nian coughed lightly and turned around. “If you truly want to thank me, then take care of your body. I don’t want to keep cleaning up after you.” He said as he headed upstairs. Tong Si Nian stood at the top of the stairs, watching as Tong Sui picked up the spoon again to eat, and his lips curled into a slight smile.
Actually, this younger brother wasn’t that annoying. Tong Sui returned to his room to rest. After all, this body belonged to a young Alpha. The day after the fever broke, he had basically regained most of his energy.
“Let’s go.” Tong Si Nian loaded his luggage onto the hover car, driving toward the Imperial Military Academy. The academy was renowned, with various facilities surrounding it. On the day before school started, new students were accompanied by several family members or servants, lugging a heap of luggage under the attention of many onlookers.
Tong Sui’s situation was a bit too simple and somewhat out of place. He didn’t bring much, only a single suitcase. All students were required to verify their identities at the school gate, which was quite crowded. Tong Sui and the others stood at the end of the line.
Suddenly, someone bumped into him from behind, colliding right with his injured hand.
“Ugh.” Tong Sui bent down, feeling a dull pain where he was hit.
“Are you alright?” Tong Si Nian supported Tong Sui, his expression immediately cooling as he looked at the offender. “How do you not watch where you’re going?”
“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it; someone pushed me!” The voice was sweet and clear, like a pure stream, causing people around to turn and look.
The system in Tong Sui’s mind reminded him: [The protagonist of this world, Jiang Che, has a strong aura of charm.] Tong Sui looked over. Indeed, he saw a face without a flaw, cool and detached; although his clothes were slightly worn, they couldn’t overshadow his exquisite demeanor and resilient spirit.
Among a crowd of well-dressed young nobles, he stood out by carrying his own luggage with no one following him. According to the original storyline, after being bumped, he would angrily reprimand Jiang Che. Instead, Tong Si Nian would be drawn to Jiang Che, scolding Tong Sui in front of everyone, and then leaving with Jiang Che, leaving Tong Sui behind.
Later, the original owner and Jiang Che ended up in the same dormitory. Through their daily interactions, the original owner surprisingly shed his biases and even grew fond of Jiang Che. Due to his possessiveness over Jiang Che, the original owner eventually had a terrible fallout with his own brother.
As Tong Sui thought about this, he couldn’t help but turn to look at Tong Si Nian’s expression. He saw him with a cold face, frowning, clearly unhappy. Noticing Tong Sui’s gaze, Tong Si Nian looked down to check his injury.
“Are you alright? It’s all my fault. I was planning on following the normal admission process and didn’t consider your injury.” Seeing that the wound on Tong Sui’s hand hadn’t opened up, Tong Si Nian let out a sigh of relief.
