Chapter 372: The Gynophobe Crown Prince 22

Little Cutie hurriedly said after hearing this, “There’s no rule saying you can’t. Anyway, as long as you don’t get involved in the relationship between the male and female leads, it’s fine.”

“Then there you have it!”

After saying that, however, she sighed softly inwardly.

She also wanted to simply live an uncomplicated life with Tongtong.

But reality did not allow it.

For one thing, the Tang family and the imperial family had long since become inseparably connected. If Yan Hancheng wanted to deal with the imperial family, he would inevitably have to eliminate the Tang family first.

Of course, she couldn’t just stand by and watch the Tang family repeat the same fate and be wiped out by the male lead.

Secondly, Tongtong was the Crown Prince. With her status, position, and strength, it was only natural that a group of followers would gather around her. Take Lin Cong and Zhou Shuai, for example. They regarded her as a friend, but when it came to Tongtong, their eyes were filled with admiration and respect.

If she withdrew, the fate awaiting those who had chosen to follow her could be imagined.

Therefore, if Yan Hancheng was determined to fight for the throne, the battle between Tongtong and him would come sooner or later.

What she could do now was have Tongtong gain the support of as many people as possible at the academy, increasing her chances of victory.

After all, quite a few of the students who could enter the Imperial Military Academy came from prominent aristocratic families. The more people they could win over, the more capital they would have to resist Yan Hancheng.

……

Zhou Zitong still had no idea how much thought Tang Wan had put into things for her sake.

Seeing how Tang Wan's eyes lit up when she mentioned the prize money, her expression immediately softened. She then said, “Fine. Enter whichever competitions you want. It’s fine even if you enter all of them.”

“Really?” Tang Wan's eyes brightened.

Was Tongtong really this confident in her?

“Mm.” Looking at her bright, clear, almost glowing eyes, Zhou Zitong's ears grew warm. She turned her gaze away slightly, not daring to meet her eyes.

But soon, she couldn't bear to look away and shifted her gaze back, staring at her smiling cheeks.

She secretly thought: It’s just a competition, isn’t it? Since you want the scholarship, then I’ll get all of them for you!

“Yay! I knew Tongtong was the best!” Tang Wan immediately cheered when she heard this.

Seeing how excited she was, a faint smile also appeared on Zhou Zitong's face, and her eyes unconsciously filled with indulgence.

……

Half a month later, military training ended.

At the same time, the highly anticipated exhibition matches began.

As students in the Combat Command Department, the competition they valued most was naturally the simulated battle.

Simulated battle consisted of three students forming a small team and conducting actual combat exercises in a virtual world.

And aside from all the students from the Combat Command Department of the Imperial Military Academy participating, students from other military universities would also take part.

Therefore, among all the exhibition matches, the academy placed the greatest importance on the simulated battle competition.

After all, as the Empire's number-one institution and the cradle of genius battlefield commanders, if they lost, they would lose a huge amount of face!

Thus, before the simulated battle began, the instructors of the Combat Command Department issued a stern warning to the students in every year: “If you don't take first place, every single one of you is failing this semester!”

The students: …

That was a blatant threat!

However, because the simulated battle took a relatively long time, the competition was scheduled for last.

……

The first competition to begin was the mecha competition, which was the best at getting the atmosphere of the venue fired up.

Operating a cool mecha was practically every boy's dream. So when a towering silver-white mecha leaped into the arena from a diving platform more than ten meters high, deafening cheers instantly erupted from the audience.

The next moment, Tang Wan heard someone beside her scream, “Ahhh! It’s White Tiger! It’s General Yan’s White Tiger!”
