Chapter 102


    Sophia was hungry from all the running, so she found some snacks to munch on. She then brushed her


    teeth and took a bath before heading off to bed. Just before sleeping, she put Nathan and her clothes


    into the washing machine for a wash and dry.


    The room she was in was not like a confinement room at all, but more like a clean bed and breakfast.


    Everything would just be perfect if there was WiFi.


    Sophia tossed and turned on the bed. The sheets were brand new, and they seemed to have been newly


    washed, with a hint of lemon mixed with sunshine.


    She turned over and looked at Nathan who was fast asleep beside her. He had been with her all day and


    was worn out; it was time to rest.


    Today’s good treatment was all because of this little angel here!


    Sophia was tired after the day she had, and she fell asleep as soon as she turned over.


    Little did she know that she would be famous overnight, sessfully bing one of the most


    famous freshmen from Bayside University. During the night, her heroic deeds spread like wildfire in the


    barracks, and there was not a soul who did not know of her.


    For Sophia, she finished her run and was greeted by hot water, air conditioning, and a cute little boy with


    snacks who waited for her. Meanwhile, the other couple did not have it as easy.


    X cried while running, and fell down from time to time. She kneeled on the ground, not wanting to get


    up. The others spent half an hour to run three kilometers, but she ran for more than two hours, all the


    while being dragged by Richard.


    After running, X felt exhausted. The minute she reached the finishing line, she copsed on the spot.


    This time, she was not putting on a farce, but was really weak with exhaustion!


    Richard was also starting to get impatient.


    The military training had nothing to do with him, and he only came to the barracks just for Ka and


    X.


    These two were really daft, always depending on him and not able to do anything properly by


    themselves.


    They couldn’t grab their meals in time and were constantly dragging him down. It was all because of


    these two that he had to go hungry.


    Ka was his own sister, so no matter how stupid she was, he had to endure. But X was not his


    sister, and he vented his anger on her, especially after running three kilometers.


    Not only was he beaten up badly by Sophia, he also had to drag X along now. He had used up all his


    energy after the run, and X just had to copse and cry on the ground, refusing to get up. As such, he


    was forced to pull her up.


    He really wanted to leave X there, but she was Young Mistress Huff after all.


    He eventually limped to the confinement center with X in tow, an impatient expression on his face the


    whole time. At that moment, he suddenly remembered Sophia’s goodness.


    Sophia never seemed to bother him so much.


    She did everything by herself, and was always self-reliant. No matter where they were, she always took


    care of him, and he had almost nothing to do as the boyfriend.


    Although he did not admit it out loud, deep down he always felt that Sophia was not feminine. X, in


    comparison, was very feminine. She would ask him to buy drinks for them, thereafter pouting her lips as


    sheined she couldn’t open the bottle cap. No matter where they were, he always took care of her,


    and he finally got to experience a boyfriend’s sense of responsibility.


    But now, he found the responsibility so overwhelming that he couldn’t breathe!


    Company 23’smander trailed behind them leisurely and urged from time to time, “Move it, move it!


    Even if you don’t want to rest, I still want to sleep!”


    Richard stayed quiet as he dragged X along, much like one would a dead dog. He recalled seeing


    Sophia finishing her three kilometers, wiping off her sweat and leaving quickly.


    She is always so strong, so determined; never letting me worry. When he was a senior, she used to


    apany him, staying up all night to study together.


    X, on the other hand, was just like his daughter—na?ve to the point of stupidity, and was always


    laughed at by others. She was so weak that he had to always break her disposable chopsticks apart for


    her!


    X cried herself hoarse as Richard helped her to the confinement room. Her face was swollen like a


    pig, with snot, tears and saliva rolling down her face; her body stunk of sweat and medicine.


    Their confinement room was not as good as Sophia’s. It was a small room, barely three meters wide.


    There was a musty smell in the air, and a single bed inside which looked to be covered in dust. It was


    obvious that the nkets hadn’t been washed in a long time.


    Arge light bulb shed overhead, seeming like the electricity could trip any time. Besides the single


    bed, there was nothing else in the room.


    Richard and X’s confinement room was separate. He ced her on the bed, and was about to turn


    around and leave.


    It was bad enough for one person to be in the confinement room, let alone two. They would surely go


    crazy.


    “Richard, don’t go!” Just as he put X down, she started to whine like a child.


    “Okay, okay. I won’t leave,” Richard said helplessly.


    He had no choice but to stay with her in this confinement room. Thepanymander took a look at


    them and mmed the door hard, and the world went quiet at once.


    There was really no sound in the confinement room; there were no vents or windows, and the only thing


    that connected them to the outside world was a small window on the door.


    It was like a sealed box, and the both of them were trapped inside, feeling like their souls had been tied


    down too.


    This small space started to drive Richard crazy, and his nose was filled with strange smells. From the


    musty air he breathed to X’s sweat, the smell was everywhere, and he couldn’t escape from it.


    Such a cramped space was enough to make people crazy, and the longer he stayed in it, the more he


    felt that he was suffocating. He was like a fish out of water, and X’s cries were starting to grate on his


    nerves.


    “Richard, I’m so sad. I was so good to her; why did she hit me, and why did she hit you too? Did we


    really do something wrong?”


    X fell into Richard’s arms crying, feeling wronged and angry, yet happy at the same time.


    Sophia made Richard lose his face. There is definitely nothing that can happen between them now.


    Richard can finally be mine, and mine alone!


    Sophia Edwards would never beat me!


    However, she did not expect Richard to answer in a cold voice, “Miss X Huff, are you really stupid or


    are you pretending? You know very well that she hates you, so why would you mess with her? I’ve


    warned you many times, yet why did you still insist on serving yourself up to be hit by her? Where’s your


    brain?”


    Richard, who had been holding back all night, finally exploded. X’s face was swollen like a pig, and


    she still continued to cry all over his clothes. Coupled with the confined space and smell around him, he


    was about to go crazy! He finally couldn’t help but say what he wanted to say!


    X looked at him in disbelief.


    Is this the Richard who has always been a gentleman to me?
