Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 888 - 731: Beautiful Yet Androgynous (Second Update)

Chapter 888: Chapter 731: Beautiful Yet Androgynous (Second Update)

Leng Yuebai watched her mischievous yet cautious demeanor and burst into laughter.

Sang Yu froze, he actually laughed, and it looked so good on him!

Leng Yuebai raised a hand and gently touched her curled eyelashes with his forefinger.

Sang Yu sat rigidly in place, what’s he doing?! What’s with his unusual behavior tonight!

Leng Yuebai slightly curled his lips, "The first time I saw you, I wanted to touch your eyelashes, because I wanted to know if your eyelashes were fake."

Sang Yu blinked, "Yuebai bro, this isn’t fair, you’re trying to get back at me!"

Leng Yuebai chuckled, and then that smile quickly faded. Sang Yu even doubted if she had imagined it; this big Bing Tuozi actually laughed twice.

"Do you remember which year we met for the first time?" Leng Yuebai looked at her intently.

Sang Yu thought for a bit, "The event in Suo Ya wasn’t the first time, hmm—let me think... haha, I really can’t remember."

"It was during the make-up wedding for uncle and aunt. That day, you wore a snow-white princess dress and had a pretty little bun hairstyle. Your eyelashes were like little fans covering half your eyes. Everyone said you looked like a fairy, and I remember my sister told me she wanted to become as pretty as you."

Sang Yu rested her chin on her hand, thought for a moment, and laughed out loud, "On my parents’ wedding day, Zi Xi was the center of attention, how did you and your sister notice me?"

"Zi Xi was indeed beautiful that day, so beautiful it was hard to tell gender, but... my sister and I noticed you at first glance."

"So beautiful it was hard to tell gender! Haha, next time I talk to Zi Xi on the phone, I’ll make sure to tell him what you said."

Leng Yuebai chuckled, stood up, "It’s almost lights out. I’ll get something for you, then you can lock up and rest."

Sang Yu’s lips moved slightly but before she could make a sound, Leng Yuebai had already walked out.

Sang Yu looked at the chair where he had sat, her lips unconsciously curving upwards. He laughed three times tonight, though each time was fleeting, each was better looking than the last. If only I had my phone, I would have captured that moment.

Leng Yuebai came back with a hand warmer, "I just gave it a bit of charge along with the leftover power from before. It should last a few hours. Don’t press it directly against your skin, or it’ll burn you."

Sang Yu took the hand warmer and placed it on her stomach over her clothes, "Yuebai bro, I miss Grandpa."

Leng Yuebai was taken aback, "Didn’t you just come back from home, how can you miss him so soon?"

Sang Yu sniffled, looking pitiable, "Because what you did just now, is what my grandpa used to do for me!"

Leng Yuebai slightly curled his lips, "Get some rest, tomorrow... from tomorrow you’ll go to the library to help me with research. I’ll tell you exactly what to look up in the morning."

"Classes start tomorrow..."

"Do the research during training, classes will proceed as usual."

Sang Yu forced an "innocent" smile at Leng Yuebai, "Does this mean I have to research for a few days every month now?"

Leng Yuebai slightly curled his lips and turned to leave the room.

Sang Yu chased after him, "Yuebai bro, actually you’re quite nice, thank you."

Leng Yuebai entered his room without looking back.

Sang Yu pouted, "Instant mood change! You can’t compliment people like that!"

Sang Yu pouted, hugging the hand warmer and returned to her room.

The next morning when the assembly call sounded, Sang Yu rushed out of her room.

Once everyone was lined up on the training ground, Leng Yuebai stared straight ahead, "Sang Yu, step out!"

Sang Yu lifted her arm and jogged over to stand in front of him, standing at attention.

Leng Yuebai handed her a sheet of A4 paper covered in writing, "Use the training time to organize this information."

"Yes!" Sang Yu chuckled to himself; he really did let me go research the materials!

While everyone else went to train, Sang Yu searched for materials in the library. Don’t underestimate Leng Yuebai’s single page of content; while researching, he realized that finishing all of it would take at least three or four days.

"Hehe... I’m really curious about what you’ll have me research next month!"

Sang Yu smiled with pursed lips, "Brother Yuebai, I promise I won’t talk behind your back with others anymore."

Sang Yu buried himself in researching materials and went to the cafeteria at noon. Just as she sat down, Barr quietly said, "Good thing you didn’t train with us today; that cold-hearted guy nearly exhausted us to death..."

Sang Yu noticed an instructor walking over and quickly winked at Barr.

"If I catch you whispering again, you’re out of here!" the instructor shouted at Barr before turning away.

Barr’s face turned beet red, and he mouthed, "Even if it kills me, I’ll stick it out to graduation just to beat him up one day."

Sang Yu mischievously gave him a thumbs-up.

In the afternoon cultural class, surprisingly, Leng Yuebai sat at the back of the classroom for a session. Everyone felt a chill down their spines being watched by this cold-hearted guy for an entire class.

After the theoretical lesson, the instructor nodded slightly at Leng Yuebai.

Leng Yuebai briskly walked to the podium and loudly said, "The next lesson will be taught by me. I’ll take you to meet some of the venerable figures who came from Saint Cyr."

"Yes!" All the students stood up immediately. Those venerable figures were the pride of Saint Cyr, and they too hoped that one day they could be proud representations of the school.

Leng Yuebai glanced in Sang Yu’s direction, "Assemble on the playground in five minutes!"

Sang Yu dashed out of the classroom first; she had to attend to her family, or else she’d face embarrassment.

Five minutes later, everyone gathered on the playground. Leng Yuebai led them to the exhibit hall, where the walls were covered with photos. Sang Yu quickly spotted her dad among them; he looked quite young back then! Just as grandpa said, he hadn’t ’grown all his feathers’ yet... damn! Sang Yu forcefully slapped her own cheek.

"Some of you might wonder why I’m bringing you here only today; it’s because this exhibit hall is only open to those within Saint Cyr. You must be a part of it to earn that privilege. Let me introduce this person — the first three-army commander from our Saint Cyr, Commander Qiao Xino of the LM Empire."

Leng Yuebai pressed a button under the photo, and Qiao Xino’s voice came through. Though he didn’t speak for long, it was immensely inspiring.

Leng Yuebai went on to speak about a dozen such figures, each over a century old if still alive. After hearing their speeches, everyone stood in solemn respect.

Observing the trainees’ expressions, Leng Yuebai smirked slightly and walked to his grandfather’s photo, "This is Former Head of State of Z Country, Leng Ziye. He was only sixteen when he came to Saint Cyr. After returning home, he led many victorious battles, known as the undefeated general. Later, he became the three-army commander and then Head of State."

With another press of the button, the room filled with the resonant voice of an elder man.

After hearing Leng Ziye’s speech, everyone felt a surge of excitement and started applauding spontaneously.

Sang Yu stared intently at Grandpa Leng in the photo; it was taken when he enrolled. Despite the youthful face, it showed a maturity beyond his years. Below it was a photo of him as the three-army commander. Seeing it now, Brother Yuebai really resembles his grandpa. Below that was a photo of him as Head of State; grandpa led a truly extraordinary life!

"Instructor Leng, why do you and the Head of State Leng look similar? You both have the same surname and are from Z Country; are you related?" Hei Sen asked with a grin showing his white teeth.

Leng Yuebai glanced at him but didn’t explain, instead moving to his aunt Leng Chuting’s photo, "Whether I’m related to the Head of State Leng isn’t what’s important. What’s important is this person. She is the only female general in Saint Cyr’s nearly 100-year history, the daughter of Head of State Leng Ziye. Her life was a complete replica of her father’s. To her, her father was like a god; she always used him as a benchmark to keep moving forward. Later, I’ll take you to visit her room, worth mentioning that she earned it not through connections but skills, just like Sang Yu."

Even before they could listen to Leng Chuting’s speech, everyone began applauding voluntarily.

After playing Aunt Leng’s speech recording, Leng Yuebai moved to his uncle’s photo, "This is Leng Chuting’s husband, Mu Heyang, Vice Commander of the three armies of Z Country. He and his wife shared a profound love, fighting side by side for decades. General Mu Heyang graduated from Kai Dun, and why Saint Cyr has his photo? It’s because Kai Dun’s Hall of Fame also features a photo of General Leng Chuting. This is due to a battle where the two teamed up and brought great success to both military schools. Our library houses books recording that battle."

"The Leng family is truly remarkable, producing so many famous figures. I heard that the current Z Country’s Head of State is also the son of Head of State Leng Ziye!"

"Exactly! Every member of this family is exceptional."

Leng Yuebai smirked slightly, and after playing Uncle’s recording, he proceeded to Tong Airui’s photo.

A trainee suddenly shouted, "I know this one, Prime Minister Airui of Xia Wu!"

In a good mood, Leng Yuebai nodded, "Yes, he is yet another legendary figure in the family, Prime Minister Airui Audric! At fifteen, he was admitted to the military school of Z Country, and two years later, he came to Saint Cyr. After completing his studies here and returning home, he fought a famous battle of winning against the odds..."
