Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan had thought that the rest of the tests would still be done one by one, but when she arrived, she found that things were different.
The tests for endurance and speed were held in the same place — the academy's large field.
Ling Lan and Ling Qin had just arrived and were about to enter when Ling Qin was stopped by one of the accompanying staff members at the door, indicating that parents were not allowed to accompany their children in.
Ling Lan had not needed Ling Qin's escort in the first place, but she could not bear to reject the kindness of this grandpa butler who had been loyal to the Ling family all his life. Seeing Ling Qin's worried gaze, she hurriedly comforted him before saying goodbye and entering. This considerate behaviour was noticed by the staff member accompanying Ling Lan.
"Who would have thought that you would be so thoughtful..." praised the staff member who had brought Ling Lan inside. He had seen all sorts of crying, annoyance, and attachment — Ling Lan's little adult-like way of comforting others surprised him.
Ling Lan smiled but did not say anything. She couldn't very well say that she was already over 30 years old, how could she still cling to her parents like a little kid?
Perhaps the quiet, calm, and good-natured Ling Lan had left a good impression on the staff member who had accompanied her in, so he pointed at the children on the field in front and explained, "Over there are the children preparing for the test. The ones on the far right are the commoner children, the ones in the middle are those from the military system, and the largest group on the left are those from the aristocratic families."
Ling Lan looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that there were already quite a number of people gathered on the field. They were all children who had enrolled this year.
On the planet of Doha, there were countless Scout Academies like this, but the Scout Academy that Ling Lan had enrolled in was the best Scout Academy in Doha, second to none. Those who were eligible to enter the academy for the test were not just those from the major families who already had a place in Doha, but also those from the military system, as well as children like Ling Lan who had inherited honourable military exploits. Children who inherited honourable military exploits could be commoner, or from an aristocratic family, or even from the military system. Thus, on the field, the children were divided into three groups.
Of course, if they failed the test, they would return home to study at the nearest Scout Academy. This was something that couldn't be helped. The Central Scout Academy of the Planet of Doha only wanted the best students, and would rather have none than substandard students.
However, most of the children who failed the test were civilian children who had inherited military honors. The academy announced to the public that the physical fitness of these children did not meet the academy's standards. As for whether there was any other inside story, that was unknown.
Because this academy, which claimed to need the strongest students, would accept two classes every year … Of course, you had to have money, power, and status!
Ling Lan knew that this was the staff's kindness. He quickly smiled and said, "Thank you!"
It had to be said that Ling Lan's smile was very beautiful. This smile had already seeped into her bones. As long as someone had good intentions towards her, she would not be stingy with this smile. In her previous life, she had relied on this smile to obtain the love of the doctors and nurses in the hospital. In this life, with the addition of her beautiful face that had perfectly inherited her parents' strengths, she was even more lethal.
The staff member could not help but be taken aback. He subconsciously rubbed his nose, then looked left and right. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he reminded, "Little guy, don't smile like that in the future. It's not good for you."
If this child's family did not have too much power, then perhaps he would not be in too much danger now due to his young age. However, in another five or ten years, it would be hard to say.
Ling Lan was taken aback by his words. She was just about to ask, but because the staff member had already escorted them to the location, it was difficult to ask with so many people around them. Ling Lan could only bid him farewell under the staff member's worried and loving gaze.
"Little Four, tell me, what did that person mean just now?" Ling Lan frowned as she asked Little Four.
Little Four did not say anything, only replicating Ling Lan's smile for her to see. Ling Lan had never seen her smile like this before. She knew that her smile was very nice, able to make people let down their guard, able to make people happy. However, seeing her smile now, she also understood why the staff member had reminded her.
Damn, it turned out that being good-looking was also troublesome. In the past, she was at most delicate and pretty, and when she smiled, it made people feel warm and happy. However, it was different now. With her androgynous appearance, coupled with her beautiful face, when she smiled like this, there was actually a faint hint of seduction. This was only a six-year-old child. When she was a little older …
Ling Lan did not believe that gay relationships would end in this era. Although she was actually a girl, she did not want a gay man to confess to her.
Ling Lan instantly decided that she would not smile like this in the future.
As soon as Ling Lan walked in, the children from the three groups all looked over. As mentioned earlier, Ling Lan was really good-looking. Even in this place where there were handsome men and beautiful women, she was still considered top-notch. Furthermore, the children straightforwardly expressed their preferences. Beautiful children were always more popular.
Thus, before Ling Lan could think of what to do, a well-built child standing in the middle of the military and political system waved at her and shouted loudly, "Here, here, quickly come over!"
Ling Lan was speechless. Who was this person who was so enthusiastic? Why didn't she recognize him?
However, the other party's greeting relieved her of her worries, so she slowly walked over. Of course, she walked slowly. If she misunderstood and that person was just greeting the child behind her or something, she could avoid the awkwardness.
However, Ling Lan's worries were unnecessary. That child really was greeting her, because before she could walk halfway, he impatiently ran over and pulled her over.
Ling Lan looked at the small hand that had automatically taken hers, and thought gloomily, 'Who is he?' Why did he act so familiar and hold hands without informing her?
Cough cough, don't blame Ling Lan. In both her lives, this was the first time that a strange man, uh, a little boy, held hands with her. Our valiant Ling Lan classmate was actually embarrassed.
When they reached the place, before the boy could say anything, a jealous voice rang out. "Zilong, who is he?"
Ling Lan looked over and saw that it was a chubby little girl. She glared at her fiercely, looking as if her favorite thing had been snatched away.
Ling Lan was speechless. Were the children of this era all so precocious? She actually knew how to be jealous? Also, even if she was jealous, she should look at the right person. She was a little boy right now, okay?
Ling Lan was also a little puzzled. Her current appearance should be better than that Zilong, right? Why did the chubby little girl act as if she couldn't see it and was jealous the moment she came up? Could it be that this little girl didn't like her type?
What Ling Lan did not know was that this era was not the era of Ling Lan's previous life, where skinny was the norm. The children here were all fit, healthy, and healthy. With Ling Lan's sickly little bean sprout-like appearance, no matter how pretty she was, not many girls would fancy her.
Zilong didn't know that his little sidekick was jealous. He casually introduced her to his friend. "He's the one who tested his strength before me. Don't be fooled by his thin and weak appearance, he's very strong." Zilong liked to make friends with people who were stronger than him. He felt that this could help him improve.
Ling Lan was stunned. So at that time, this Zilong had already noticed her.
