The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 37

Lin Fu’s expression was extremely gloomy.

“For yourself? People of the Lin family never live for themselves! Only for the Alliance! Have the things I taught you since you were a child been fed to a dog?” Lin Fu’s hand was raised, clearly infuriated by Ji Mingxiao.

Ji Mingxiao instinctively took a step back.

“I want to study commanding, how is that not for the Alliance!” Ji Mingxiao looked at Lin Fu. “Besides, everyone is working for the Alliance. Isn’t paying taxes for the construction of the Alliance? Who says you have to sacrifice your life for the Alliance?”

Lin Fu pointed at Ji Mingxiao, speechless for a long time: “You’ve become quite articulate now!”

“If that spot isn’t given to me, there’s no need to give it to anyone else either.”

“Still talking about the spot!” Lin Fu took a deep breath. “How did I give birth to a daughter like you!”

“I just want to find something I’m good at.”

“Heh, good at? How do you know you’re good at it? Are you telling me now that you’re not good at the things you’ve been learning since you were a child, but you’re good at things you’ve never even touched?”

“I’ve been studying since I was a child, and I still can’t stand out among other races. Doesn’t that prove I’m not good at it?”

System A: “Host, you clearly said before that Lin Yuan was good.”

“Yeah, but I’m lazy.” Ji Ming replied without changing her expression.

System A: …

Why can a person be so thick-skinned?

The result of the argument with Lin Fu was that Ji Mingxiao was beaten up.

As a soul that had been pampered since childhood, no one had ever even scolded her, let alone beaten her.

Ji Mingxiao lay on the bed, doubting life. Her body was already falling apart from the afternoon training yesterday, and now it was even more useless. It hurt with every movement.

“That’s why I said you’d better not change your major,” System A said.

Ji Mingxiao: …

“So you knew I’d get beaten if I brought it up?” Ji Mingxiao’s face darkened.

System A: “I didn’t guess that either.”

Someone pushed the door open and came in.

Ji Mingxiao thought it was Lin Mu, but it turned out to be Xi Ruan.

She was carrying a high-tech medicine box.

The two of them looked at each other.

Xi Ruan: …

“We meet again.” Ji Mingxiao smiled at Xi Ruan.

Xi Ruan: …

“What kind of fate is this?” Ji Mingxiao’s smile widened. “Are you our family doctor?”

“Mm.” Xi Ruan was a little speechless. Although the face in front of her had no resemblance to Ji Mingxiao’s original face, she quickly recognized her when she saw her eyes.

“Okay, I’ve decided not to change departments.”

System A: ???

“Dear, are you being so rash?”

“Mm.” Ji Mingxiao nodded. If she went to the commanding department, she probably wouldn’t get hurt. How could she see Xi Ruan if she didn’t get hurt?

Xi Ruan had already placed the items on the bedside table and used the fully automated medical machine to check Ji Mingxiao’s body.

Ji Mingxiao had originally thought she could touch Xi Ruan, but who knew that after a whole process, her body did feel a lot more comfortable, but she didn’t even touch a single one of Xi Ruan’s fingers.

Sigh.

She let out a slightly melancholic sigh.

In the past, she wished she had these things, the more convenient the better. Now, she wished she was still in an ancient society so Xi Ruan would have to feel her pulse.

“Are you coming again tomorrow?”

“I can not come. I’ll just leave the things here.”

Ji Mingxiao grabbed her hand and looked at her with blinking, pitiful eyes.

Xi Ruan: …

Xi Ruan was a little helpless and lowered her voice: “It’s not that I don’t want to come, it’s mainly because Major General Lin is a little too terrifying.”

“I think so too. He just beat me up.”

Xi Ruan gave Ji Mingxiao a look of pity.

“I’m this miserable, and you can’t even come to see me. He won’t beat you anyway.” Ji Mingxiao looked at Xi Ruan and even squeezed out two tears. “Ruan Ruan.”

Xi Ruan looked at Ji Mingxiao with a mixed expression: “I’ve noticed your acting has gotten a lot better.”

“Probably. So, were you fooled by me?”

Xi Ruan: …

“Then I’ll come back tomorrow afternoon. I should go, I’ve been here for a long time.” Xi Ruan glanced at the time. “This time, don’t just add scenes for me arbitrarily!”

“How many points did you get last time?”

“Double.” Xi Ruan coughed twice.

Ji Mingxiao raised her eyebrows: “Isn’t that good?”

“The risk is too great. You can’t guarantee that it’s a valid plot.”

“Don’t you trust me? Don’t worry, I won’t drag you in arbitrarily. I’ll make sure it’s foolproof before I pull you in.”

Xi Ruan nodded, and then glanced at Ji Mingxiao who was still holding her hand: “Can you let go of me?”

Ji Mingxiao reluctantly let go.

Xi Ruan rolled her eyes in annoyance, picked up her box, and left.

Ji Mingxiao lay back down on the bed. Faint whispers could be heard from outside the door.

After a while, Lin Mu pushed the door open and came in.

Although the air of battle on her was also heavy, it was better than Lin Fu’s.

“Have you really thought about it?”

“I’ve thought about it. I’ve decided not to change departments.”

Lin Mu: ???

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment: “Think it through. Don’t keep changing your mind. Your dad didn’t really want to hit you.”

“Mm, I’ve thought it through. I still won’t change departments. I don’t want that spot either. Tell the higher-ups to give it to someone else.”

Lin Mu frowned: “Then you won’t have any security in the future.”

“I don’t need it. It also saves others from coveting it.”

Lin Mu was stunned, frowning, and sat down on the edge of Ji Mingxiao’s bed: “What exactly happened?”

“Nothing. I can handle it myself.”

Lin Mu looked at Ji Mingxiao, sighed, and patted her arm: “Although we are usually strict with you and hope you’ll become independent sooner, we are still your parents after all. We want you to be independent, but we are also afraid…”

Lin Mu didn’t finish the rest of her sentence, but everyone knew.

On the battlefield, nothing is certain.

“I know.”

Lin Mu didn’t stay long.

The mother and daughter had not spent much time together since childhood, and there was an unspeakable sense of distance between them.

Ji Mingxiao only got up in the evening.

She was still limping a little as she went downstairs.

Lin Fu snorted in annoyance: “How can you be so weak! What will you do at the front lines?”

Ji Mingxiao didn’t say anything and just sat down at her seat.

“You should say less!” Lin Mu glared at Lin Fu.

The meal was not very extravagant, just three simple dishes and a soup, and the portions were small, just enough to be eaten in one go.

Ji Mingxiao ate slowly and deliberately, while Lin Fu and Lin Mu’s movements were not very graceful, probably from being used to the front lines.

“You’re still so particular about eating.”

“Chewing slowly is good for your health.” Ji Mingxiao was the last one to finish. After the robot took the bowls away, she returned to her room upstairs.

She took a shower and grabbed a book at random.

No wonder Lin Yuan rarely came back. The atmosphere at home was too oppressive.

Lin Fu’s demands on Lin Yuan were too high, and for Lin Yuan, home was a place full of oppression, which was why she was so easily moved by Xue Qingran. After all, he was gentle and cared for her in every way, meticulously.

This was an irresistible attraction for Lin Yuan, who had been raised with a suppressive education since childhood.

Ji Mingxiao read for ten minutes and then put the book down. She didn’t know what kind of book it was, it was all about the spirit of the Alliance. She opened her optical computer and casually found something else to look at.

She had to admit, the good thing about the future was that there were many ways to entertain oneself.

Ji Mingxiao’s eyes lit up.

So, when Lin Fu opened the door and came in, he saw Ji Mingxiao playing a game.

He had originally come to apologize, but when he saw Ji Mingxiao playing a game, his anger instantly flared up again.

“I knew it! Why didn’t you want to train? It turns out you’re addicted to games!”

“I’ve only been playing for ten minutes. You can take my optical computer and check it.” Ji Mingxiao glanced at him. “I fainted again yesterday morning. You always think it’s easy, but I’m really under a lot of pressure.”

Ji Mingxiao’s game had ended. She looked at Lin Fu: “I’m willing to fight for the Alliance, but I am a person with my own thoughts. Don’t try to impose all your thoughts and beliefs on me. I have my own life and my own ideas.”

“If all you want is a war machine without its own thoughts, artificial intelligence is very advanced now. You can instill your thoughts into it, and it will be much more useful than me.”

Ji Mingxiao looked at him, her tone very calm.

Lin Fu looked at Ji Mingxiao and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

Ji Mingxiao put her optical computer away.

Lin Fu sighed, said nothing, and left the room.

Back in the room, Lin Mu looked at Lin Fu in surprise: “Didn’t I tell you to have a good talk with her?”

“Talk about what? She’s grown up and has her own ideas. Was I too strict with her before?” Lin Fu frowned.

Lin Mu glanced at him: “You’re just now realizing it? She’s an adult, and you still laid a hand on her today. Do you think she’s a soldier under your command? Besides, which girl nowadays doesn’t like to dress up? When she was little, she used to envy celebrities and said she wanted to be like them and wear beautiful clothes every day.”

“Then you made her cut her hair, and she never mentioned it again.”

Lin Fu frowned: “Being a celebrity? What kind of thing is that?”

“What are you talking about? It’s too late now anyway.” Lin Mu frowned, and then she thought of what Ji Mingxiao had said today. “I suspect something has happened to her recently. She never mentioned the spot before. When I went to find her just now, she told us to just give up the spot.”

“It seems like someone is eyeing our family’s spot.”

“Didn’t you ask?”

“I asked, but she wouldn’t say. She said she could handle it herself.” Lin Mu patted Lin Fu. “Forget it, don’t worry about it. As for the recommendation spot…”

“Then let it be. Someone is actually eyeing our family’s recommendation spot, how dare they.” Lin Fu snorted disdainfully. “It was originally meant to be a safety net for her.”

“Oh, I didn’t expect Major General Lin to have a selfish side.”

“Of course I do. Go to sleep, go to sleep. It’s getting late. I’m not talking to you anymore.” Lin Fu waved his hand, lay down, and turned his back to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu was a little helpless.

After Lin Fu left, Ji Mingxiao put her things away and prepared to sleep.

“Dear, what you said just now was too hurtful,” System A said.

“But I still have to say it. It’s better to be open than to be stuck in a deadlock.” Ji Mingxiao stared at the time. “Besides, I didn’t say anything just now, did I?”

“I looked at Major General Lin’s expression, and I almost wanted to cry.”

Ji Mingxiao: …

“You’re an artificial intelligence, but you have a lot of feelings,” Ji Mingxiao retorted.

System A: “Dear, please don’t be species discriminatory, okay?”
