After what happened in class that day, news of Lin Nuo being punished and suspended spread throughout almost all first years.
After all, there were students in each class taking mecha practical lessons, and the incident was too big at the time, so many people paid attention to the follow-up. As for the other people who participated in the fight, they were given a serious warning, and asked to write a review essay. Other than that, they were able to attend classes normally.
The next week of mecha practice class, after Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu delivered Ling Dang in the morning, they went to the training building together.
With his previous experience, this time, Ling Mu wasn’t limited to only moving his hands and feet. He could follow Qiu Zhenyang to jog on the track.
“Okay, since you can keep up with me, let’s try a faster speed in the afternoon.” Near lunch time, after Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu both got off their mechas, the former highly praised him.
Ling Mu’s mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes looked at Qiu Zhenyang sincerely: “Thank you.”
After all, the teacher couldn’t take care of every student, and because of the last incident, the teacher didn’t like the few of them who had fought. It was even more impossible for him to guide them, so if it wasn’t for Qiu Zhenyang, Ling Mu would not have been able to achieve such results in such a short period of time. Moreover, Ling Mu had to admit that Qiu Zhenyang’s talent in mecha is really much higher than ordinary people.
“It’s almost time for the bell. Let’s get ready to go back.”
The training building was crowded, and Qiu Zhenyang wanted to prepare first so that they wouldn’t get stuck in the crowd.
Ling Mu didn’t care. Grabbing his bag, he followed Qiu Zhenyang to the elevator.
But the two of them were blocked before they reached the elevator entrance.
“Are you Qiu Zhenyang?”
A proud-looking tall and thin young man with two followers looked at Qiu Zhenyang with disdain. “I thought you were actually something, but you look weak. Ah, I don’t know what demon possessed my parents to insist on me getting to know you. I can clearly get everything they want once I graduate.”
Standing in front of Ling Mu, Qiu Zhenyang scrutinized the person in front of him.
He searched his memory and found no impression of this young man.
But based on what he said, Qiu Zhenyang guessed that this person might be Lin Nuo’s brother, Lin Yuhan, the eldest son of Lin Zhiyuan.
This person has only been mentioned a few times in the original text. His sexual orientation is somewhat unique. He prefers betas who look like Ling Mu, because they are more resistant, sensitive, and their bodies are not as delicate as omegas, making them suitable for some of his excessive play. Therefore, in the original text, Lin Yuhan harassed Ling Mu more than once, and even once drugged Ling Mu, and almost killed him.
Thinking of this, Qiu Zhenyang’s face darkened.
“What, too scared to speak?” Lin Yuhan’s expression was full of contempt. Because Qiu Zhenyang had a prominent family background, top grades, and a rare S-level mental strength, he was often brought out by his father as comparison. Although the two had never met, Lin Yuhan had long been jealous of this person who was two years younger than him.
Qiu Zhenyang held his gaze indifferently, his expression not loosening in the slightest. “Can you introduce yourself first before you speak? Or do you think that everyone will know a little brat like you?
“?” Lin Yuhan was instantly so angry that the top of his head smoked. “Then, well, since you said I’m a little brat, that’s fine. Since you’re born to the Chief Legion’s family, your skills with mecha should be very strong, why don’t we fight a round?”
Ling Mu pulled Qiu Zhenyang’s arm from behind, leaned in and said softly, “He is Lin Nuo’s older brother, Lin Yuhan. He’s arrogant and cautious, don’t fall into his trap.”
After all, he had been in contact with Lin Yuhan, and was troubled many times in the Lin family before, he reminded Qiu Zhenyang.
Feeling Ling Mu’s worry, Qiu Zhenyang’s heart grew uncontrollably warm. But he wouldn’t let go of Lin Yuhan. He even came to the door, was there a reason to send him off so easily?
“Don’t worry.” Qiu Zhenyang turned back and patted Ling Mu’s hand.
Lin Yuhan noticed Ling Mu just now, trying to confirm whether the relationship between the two was really what Lin Nuo said. Looking at them now, they are basically inseparable.
He has always liked betas with Ling Mu’s type of appearance, so when he found out that Ling Mu was an omega, he was really excited. In the Lin family, he harassed him a lot, but the other party always treated him like vermin, and his eyes were always full of disgust.
But now, he is hiding behind another alpha, and the conversation and actions are extremely intimate.
Grinding his back molars, Lin Yuhan couldn’t help sneering: “Ling Mu, I thought you were like a stone. I didn’t expect you to be no different from ordinary people when it comes to family wealth? You used to treat me like that, but now It seems that the Lin family’s wealth failed to catch your fancy.”
Ling Mu looked at him coldly and said nothing.
He never bothered to refute such stupid remarks.
Qiu Zhenyang smiled: “It has nothing to do with family wealth, right? After all, how many normal people would care about you?”
“Who the hell are you talking about!” Lin Yuhan was angry.
“Whoever answers is who.” Qiu Zhenyang shrugged.
At this moment, Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu also noticed the situation. Exchanging tacit glances, they walked over.
With Lin Yuhan looking like that, he was definitely looking for trouble. As soon as Yuan Chenyu came over, he shouted unceremoniously, “Where’s the idiot, crawl out for me!”
Combined with Qiu Zhenyang’s previous words, Ling Mu’s mouth twitched into a smile.
Lin Yuhan’s two followers couldn’t bear it anymore. “Where’d you come from? Let alone not greeting a senior, but acting so arrogant in front of us. Is the quality of your freshman class so bad?”
“Quality?” Qiu Zhenyang sneered with raised brows. “I recall you guys were the first to come over and say all that trash. Why, does senior have bad memory? Do you need me to help you remember?”
The follower wanted to speak up, but Lin Yuhan reached out with his hand and stopped him.
“It’s useless to talk so much. Since you are so confident, come fight a round in the mecha with me.” Lin Yuhan made up his mind to fight one round with Qiu Zhenyang. Even if his grades in the mecha practical class are amongst the top, he will definitely make Qiu Zhenyang make a fool of himself!
Because Qiu Zhenyang is a celebrity amongst freshmen, and because of the fight last time, many people paid attention to his every move. Seeing senior classmates coming to find fault, many gossiping eyes had already begun watching.
At this moment, some students onlookers said:
“You, a third year, coming to compete with us freshmen. Who’s bullying who?”
“That’s right, it’s not fair, right? Our teacher just explained the internal operations of the mecha to us today.”
“I just got close and heard Ling Mu say that this person is Lin Nuo’s brother. Tsk, tsk, why is that family so shameless!”
Because nearly everyone present were freshmen, they couldn’t bear the seniors coming down to make trouble.
Color drained from Lin Yuhan’s face at their words, and his teeth were nearly bitten to pieces.
“Are you finished?” He roared. The group didn’t dare say anything more, lest Lin Yuhan’s anger burn on them, “What’s not fair? Qiu Zhenyang is the son of the Chief Legion’s family. Don’t know how many years ago he came into contact with mechas! If you’re afraid, say it directly; don’t dilly dally like an omega!”
The omegas surrounding them were offended, and their impression of Lin Yuhan plummeted further.
Qiu Zhenyang sneered: “I didn’t refuse to compete. Was there a need for you to say so much? But the time for the match should be after class in the afternoon, we’re going back for lunch now.”
Lin Yuhan hummed: “Okay, I’ll give you time to prepare yourself mentally for this afternoon. Fifth floor, 4 o’clock. If you don’t come, you’re not an alpha.”
Before leaving, Lin Yuhan gave Qiu Zhenyang the middle finger.
Qiu Zhenyang: Really a nutcase

After Lin Yuhan brought his people away, Zhuo Hang asked Qiu Zhenyang: “You’ll really fight him? Who is that person?”
“Lin Nuo’s brother, Lin Yuhan.”
Yuan Chenyu said worriedly, “Zhenyang, you didn’t like mecha very much before. Although you’re pretty good in class, do you even have a chance of winning in a real fight with a mecha?”
Ling Mu doesn’t know Qiu Zhenyang well enough in this aspect, so he can only listen on the sidelines. Hearing the words, the hands hanging on his sides clenched tightly.
“Wait until the afternoon. Let’s go back to eat first.” Qiu Zhenyang smiled casually, took Ling Mu’s hand and left first.
They held hands all the way, making many people look over, but Ling Mu didn’t notice anything. His head was lowered and no one knew what he was thinking.
Amused, Qiu Zhenyang couldn’t help teasing him: “What’s got your mind wandering?”
Ling Mu’s mind came back after hearing his name called. Suddenly realizing his hand was being held, he quickly withdrew his hand, and then turned to frown and glared at Qiu Zhenyang. “You’re still in the mood to joke? Lin Yuhan is not easy to deal with. I’m afraid he came to trouble you because of Lin Nuo. This whole thing is because of me, and I think you should push it this afternoon.”
“How can you say it’s because of you? Lin Nuo is jealous and hates that you’re with me. His brother isn’t a good thing either. Since he wants to be beaten by me, why shouldn’t I?” Qiu Zhenyang didn’t like Ling Mu piling everything on his own shoulders. Although he understood that Ling Mu was worried about himself, he wanted to stand in front Ling Mu even more, and be his shield.
Ling Mu was still uneasy. “To be honest, how are you at mecha combat?”
Although Qiu Zhenyang taught him in class, Ling Mu knew nothing about his skills.
Qiu Zhenyang thought for a while, and then a sentence came out: “I don’t know either.”
Rolling his eyes, Ling Mu was too lazy to care for him any longer, and walked away. Seeing this, Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly followed, shouting, “Xiao Mumu, you can come to cheer me on after picking up Ling Dang this afternoon! With your love and blessing, I will definitely go all out to defeat that idiot!”
“F*ck off!”
Actually, Qiu Zhenyang saying he didn’t know wasn’t to deceive Ling Mu. Although he inherited the original body’s memory, the act of operating a mecha is different. He doesn’t know enough about Lin Yuhan’s strength either, so it is very likely that he will lose later this afternoon.
But isn’t there still an afternoon left? He can temporarily hold the Buddha’s feet1Guessing this is a pray to god type of thing and practice!
So some Gary Stu magic happening with QZY and those mecha skills, but this is fiction

LM: Are you sure you can win? How are your skills?
QZY: Bed skills?

QZY [internally]: Must go practice. Have to protect my wifey!
