After Faking a Disability, I Married the New Chief Sentinel 32

Chapter 32: Sneaking Around

Under normal circumstances, Xu Xunyue couldn’t be bothered to actively distort the perception of people in public places.
High-level Sentinels had very sensitive hearing. The few sentences Zhu Hui had said were fine, but his own sentence was practically flirting. Putting aside the act of showing off their affection, Xu Xunyue had no fetish for public displays of affection, which was why he had chosen to use the mental link to transmit the information in his mind.
However, because of the privacy of the mental link, Zhu Hui’s reaction was a little shyer than he had imagined. His ears instantly turned red.
He pinched his cheek again, and it was indeed hot.
So easily flustered.
Xu Xunyue thought with some amusement, his gaze pausing on Zhu Hui’s wrist.
The blue and gold hair tie was a little tighter than the black one, and it was fixed right at his left wrist, faintly glowing. It was clearly made of a smooth, high-grade material that wouldn’t scratch, and it really did look like an exquisite bracelet.
No one would have thought that it was actually a tracking device.
The day he got the hair tie, Zhu Hui had first held it up to his wrist in front of Xu Xunyue, very seriously chose the right angle to wear it—though it was unknown what different angles a hair tie could have—anyway, after putting it on, he had been showing off his wrist every day.
In addition, after half a month of testing, Xu Xunyue had also confirmed that he wore it at all times, perfectly fulfilling his promise of “wearing it every day.”
The kind that he didn’t even take off when he showered.
This brought up the two special functions of the locator: listening and special calibration.
Listening was self-explanatory. Special calibration meant that the closer the two people were, the more accurate the positioning function would be.
At school, the locator could accurately show which teaching building Zhu Hui was in, and there were even prompts for a few instances of an accelerated heart rate due to training. At Xu Xunyue’s home, the distance between the two was even closer. After Xu Xunyue imported the manor map into the locator, he could even see which specific room Zhu Hui was in.
Kitchen, balcony, bedroom… as long as he was moving, the icon representing Zhu Hui would move.
Although it didn’t seem very useful, since at such a close distance, Xu Xunyue could sense it himself.
In addition, the high-tech products from the pre-Cataclysm era were also very concealable. A few days ago, when Zhu Hui had a wilderness survival simulation class where he couldn’t carry electronic devices and even had to temporarily take off his personal terminal and put it in a locker for safekeeping, the pre-class detection system couldn’t find anything strange about the hair tie.

“Brother, do you still want to stay here?” Zhu Hui suddenly asked in a low voice.
“I don’t have to. There are plenty of teachers on site,” Xu Xunyue understood his subtext. “You want to leave?”
Considering the danger of this major course, the academy stipulated that there must be enough school doctors and teachers on the side to provide timely rescue during the course.
But because it was the first day of the course, all the practical course teachers from both academies had come, and even some of the theory course teachers had come. The number of people was completely sufficient, so it was fine for him and Zhu Hui to leave together.
“I mainly want to be with brother. It would be even better if we could be alone,” Zhu Hui said skillfully.
Xu Xunyue felt that he was being cute again.
Just as they were about to leave the public training grounds, a hesitant, probing voice came from the side.
“Um… I’m so sorry, can I take up a moment of your time?”
It was Yu Yuan.
Zhu Hui’s footsteps paused. He was a little dissatisfied with the “being alone” being interrupted. Considering that this was a public place and a course was in progress, and the person opposite him was a polite classmate, he didn’t say anything and just waited on the side.
The one speaking was his brother’s student, so she was probably looking for his brother.
But he didn’t expect Yu Yuan to smile apologetically at Xu Xunyue and say, “Teacher, we wanted to ask Student Zhu about the outdoor practical activity.”
Xu Xunyue nodded.
“You guys talk.”
Zhu Hui frowned slightly.
Looking for him?
What could she want with him? And she’s interrupting his conversation with his brother. So troublesome.
Yu Yuan had long expected him to have this expressionless, cold look. She just recited the opening of the speech she had already prepared in a serious tone.
“Student Zhu, for the outdoor practical activity in seven days, would you be willing to team up with us?”
As soon as she said this, the high-level students who had been eavesdropping with their faces turned away all turned their heads and glared at Yu Yuan and her companion.
Although the date of the outdoor practical activity was fixed every year, the activity announcement hadn’t even been released yet. How could she snatch the big shot in advance?!
The rules of the outdoor practical activity stipulated that students must form five-person teams, and the number of Guides in the team must be between one and two. The activity content was usually to transport the graduating students to a relatively stable Undeveloped Zone where the boundary line had not changed for five years. The duration was five days.
The activity used a point system. Points were calculated based on factors such as the type of cataclysmic creatures cleaned up and the value of suspicious traces found. Both individual and team scores had requirements, and attacking each other between teams was prohibited.
The academy would provide well-equipped gear and five days of food and water. If they were accidentally lost, they would have to find extra weapons and food themselves. Once a distress signal was sent, it meant that the individual had given up on the activity, and the accompanying teacher and the local outpost would immediately provide rescue.
Zhu Hui’s combat power was evident today. Although he had only been back for less than a month and everyone was not very familiar with him, since it concerned the practical activity results and the graduation rating, everyone wanted to pull him into their team.
It was just that no one had expected Yu Yuan to strike so early.
And…
According to the students of Class 1, Xu Xunyue, as the teacher of the graduating Class 1 at the Guide Academy, would also be an accompanying teacher.
Not to mention helping out or anything, but he would definitely pay more attention to the team Zhu Hui was in.
Even in a carefully selected, relatively stable Undeveloped Zone, accidents and casualties could still occur. At a time like this, more attention meant more safety.
Zhu Hui subconsciously glanced at Xu Xunyue.
Xu Xunyue smiled slightly and tilted his chin, clearly indicating that he should talk to Yu Yuan himself.
Alright, brother let him choose himself, so it makes no difference.
It would be great if I could team up with brother.
I want to get first place with brother.
Sigh, we can’t team up together, so I can only settle for the next best thing and ask for a kiss from brother.
But this is the public training grounds. Would kissing here have a bad influence on brother…
It was unknown how he thought of it, but Zhu Hui’s thoughts had inexplicably strayed in another direction.
Yu Yuan saw him looking at Xu Xunyue and then thinking, and thought he was undecided, doubting their abilities, since she and her teammate had just been defeated.
So she also reported the other two people who had already been decided on for the team, preparing to introduce their abilities and academy rankings one by one, striving to prove that “we are the best choice.”
Zhu Hui actually didn’t really want to listen to so much, but since his brother had just told him to talk to Yu Yuan himself, he wanted to appear more composed in front of his brother.
Then I’ll just listen.
He listened for three more seconds, and just as he heard the names of the other two people and felt that he had some impression of them, he said:
“Okay.”
Yu Yuan, who had been prepared for a long speech, was stunned.
She spoke with some slowness.
“Oh, oh…”
“I’m leaving.”
“Oh, oh…”
Then she watched as Zhu Hui turned his head and whined to Xu Xunyue.
“Brother, are we leaving?”
His voice was quite low, but at such a close distance, their hearing was not to be trifled with. Zhu Hui clearly had no intention of hiding it.
Yu Yuan: “…”
Yu Yuan: “???”
What did she just hear?
The Sentinel who had kicked her teammate off the stage a moment ago, the Sentinel in a black combat uniform with a tall and straight figure, the Sentinel who had just been so cold to them he could have frozen them to death…
And this Sentinel who was calling the Guide “brother” with red ears, were they the same person?
Yu Yuan expressed that she really wanted to log into the forum right now and announce this discovery to the world. She had already thought of the post title. It would be called [Big Reveal! That Married Teacher-Student Couple in Our Academy Actually…], and then the post would go viral overnight, her account would be upgraded overnight, and she would become the moderator of the gossip section, reaching the peak of her campus gossip career!
“…”
Forget it. Okay, to be honest, she didn’t dare.
What if Zhu Hui himself saw it?
Yu Yuan looked at her burly teammate with a sad expression. Seeing that he was still in that petrified state, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and understood what he had heard before.
And at this moment, Xu Xunyue had already greeted the host, Xu Mengwei, and had left the public training grounds with Zhu Hui under a crowd of gazes, some hidden and some not.
The second corridor was not as lively as the first and third corridors to begin with, and it was still class time. The public training grounds were also built next to the academy’s specially planted cold-resistant landscape forest, so there was no one around.
Zhu Hui glanced at the landscape forest, his hand uncontrollably reaching for the back of the wheelchair.
Xu Xunyue naturally noticed his small movement.
This is… he wants to push the wheelchair over?
Zhu Hui should remember, remember what he had said at the very beginning, that he didn’t need his help. So now, although he really wanted to push the wheelchair over, he still held back.
He watched as Zhu Hui leaned closer and whispered, “Brother, how about we go over there?”
Xu Xunyue: “…”
Although from their eye contact, Xu Xunyue felt that Zhu Hui probably wanted to kiss him, but this action, this tone…
It made it seem like they were sneaking around doing something bad.
Xu Xunyue found it a little funny in his heart and deliberately asked, “Why do you want to go over there?”
“Because I want to kiss brother.”
Zhu Hui answered directly, without any embarrassment.
Xu Xunyue continued to ask, “Then why didn’t you just kiss me at the beginning?”
Zhu Hui was stunned. His pupils even dilated a little, like two round amber gems.
He said, “Is it okay to do it there?”
“Why not?”
Xu Xunyue extended his hand, and the Sentinel naturally let go of the wheelchair’s backrest and leaned over.
He cupped Zhu Hui’s face and kissed him, saying in the calmest tone, words that were a complete waste of his talent.
“It’s a good thing that Student Zhu knows not to disturb public order, but I can disturb their perception.”
Even if he made his Sentinel cry there, no one would find out.
