Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the dorm room, Wu Mei threw the blanket on the floor and gestured for Li Nanchen to sleep on the floor.

Li Nanchen pretended to cough weakly in an attempt to gain her sympathy and the privilege of sleeping on the bed. However, he only received a cold glare from Wu Mei.

“Alright, I’m content just to have a place to sleep,” he said indulgently as he helplessly relented.

Early in the morning, the first ray of sunlight shone into the dorm room. Zhong Ling rubbed her sleepy eyes and wanted to wake Wu Mei up, but she saw that Li Nanchen was sitting by Wu Mei’s bed. His eyes were filled with deep love as he gazed at her. He leaned over and gently kissed her forehead.

“!!”

Startled, Zhong Ling covered her mouth and tried to hold her breath, not wanting to disturb the two of them.

.

In her nervousness, she choked on her saliva and coughed non-stop!

“Cough cough cough…”

Zhong Ling waved her hand, desperately trying to indicate that she didn’t do it on purpose…

Wu Mei was a light sleeper. When she heard the sound, she immediately opened her eyes and met Li Nanchen’s gaze.

That pair of bottomless eyes only had her reflection in them. The familiar scent of agarwood on his body made one feel at ease, but it also came with an intimate warmth…

“What time is it?” she asked as she casually pushed Li Nanchen away, picked up her coat and put it on.

Speechless, Zhong Ling pointed at the clock hanging on the wall.

“I’ll take the opportunity during the competition later to send you out,” Wu Mei stood up and tried to speak to Li Nanchen without any emotion.

However, the subtle change in her voice was enough to reveal that she was not as calm as she looked.

Li Nanchen nodded, his expression complicated.

The outfield assessment on the second day was a cross-country competition. All the agents had to drive their own vehicles throughout the city. They had to complete ten tasks such as infrared ray, bomb disposal, decryption, evading surveillance cameras and obstacles. Only by completing all the missions would they be able to obtain the black box and successfully finish the task.

The difficulty of the mission varied according to the route.

Outside the dormitory, Feng Yue secretly found Qi Feng and looked at the lot-drawing tube in his arms. She lowered her voice and enticed him, “Hey! Are you interested in working together?”

“Do you want to chase Wu Mei out? As long as she’s in the Special Agent Camp, we’ll never be able to live in peace!”

“Since you can control the drawing of lots, why don’t we work together with all the new cadets and leave the most difficult route for her!”

Feng Yue’s eyes were filled with madness. Qi Feng seemed hesitant. Recalling the nightmare in the rainforest, he couldn’t decide.

“If you miss this opportunity, are you planning to live in her shadow for the next few years?”

Feng Yue could tell that something must have happened between the two of them, so she egged him on!

Clenching his fists, Qi Feng shook his head and said resolutely, “I’ll listen to you!”

When the assembly bell rang, Zhong Ling and Wu Mei arrived at the empty field one after the other.

Feng Yue had told all the new cadets in advance to encourage Wu Mei to draw lots first. The first route would be the most difficult!

Wu Mei didn’t care. She reached out her hand, wanting to draw lots.

“Wu Mei, let me go first!”

Zhong Ling did not have any confidence in this assessment and was very nervous. She also didn’t see that there was something wrong with the others. Embracing the doctrine of “the sooner you die, the sooner you will be free”, she drew the first lot.

When she saw the route, she was instantly dumbfounded.

“Mine’s the hardest?” Tears immediately welled up in her eyes as she turned to look at Wu Mei.

Seeing that she did not manage to harm Wu Mei, Feng Yue vented her anger on Zhong Ling and said sarcastically, “Now, it’s time for you to show your strength!”

“The first place from yesterday… I’m guessing that you’ll be in last place today. If you aren’t capable enough, you’ll be eliminated no matter what!” Feng Yue mocked, but Wu Mei simply drew a lot. It was the simplest route.

“D*mn it! Why is she always so lucky?!”

The new cadets were discussing and grumbling.

Zhong Ling was hiding at the side with tears streaming down her face. When she saw Wu Mei, she hugged her and said, “What should I do?”

“I’ll swap with you,” said Wu Mei as she pulled the route map out of Zhong Ling’s hand.

Zhong Ling was shocked and she subconsciously wanted to snatch it back. “This won’t do! I can’t drag you down! You’ve already helped me a lot in the rainforest.”

“With your current situation, you won’t be able to complete the route that was drawn.”

Wu Mei said indifferently, “After you pass the test, you have to work harder. I won’t help you a second time or a third time… You can only rely on yourself for everything.”

Wu Mei was confident. Zhong Ling bit her lips and hesitated for a moment before nodding. “I will! Thank you.”

“Some people really like to play the hero. I just don’t know if she’ll be able to return successfully!” Feng Yue couldn’t hide the ecstasy in her eyes when she saw Wu Mei take the initiative to switch back to the most difficult route. She deliberately mocked Wu Mei and attacked her.

Wu Mei looked at her and kept the route in her bag. “I advise you to worry more about yourself.”
