Chapter 663 -94: Sweeping Mines Thoroughly
I have to admit, Yan Jing’s ability to read people was quite accurate.
Ningning’s flaw was her haughtiness, Yun Jin’s was her dominance, and Ruoxi clearly struggled with social anxiety and lack of confidence. Following Yan Yu’s training orders was one thing, but for Ruoxi to take the initiative to pursue Yan Yu was an even greater challenge – akin to asking her to sit the college entrance exam.
After all, one could retake the entrance exam if they failed, but if chasing after the captain failed, it might feel like the end of life.
In fact, the reason Xie Ruoxi still harbored an unrealistic hope, instead of completely giving up, was because she remembered the time she’d summoned her courage and rushed into the captain’s bedroom (before the formal joint cultivation began) and spoke a stream of incoherent, affectionate words; yet the captain had not immediately kicked her out.
However, after discovering that other sisters also had feelings for the captain, she no longer had the courage to take the next step.
Little Ruoxi was like a tiny rabbit that could only hide in its dark burrow, shivering nervously as it watched all sorts of cats and dogs outside lively chasing and frolicking with the captain.
Yan Yu was aware of this beautiful loser’s shrinking and avoidance, but he didn’t take it too much to heart.
After all, he was here to lead the team, not to date its members! Besides, Ruoxi’s training was already quite poor; if she became even more useless because of a crush, who would be responsible?
Yan Yu’s expectations for Xie Ruoxi were very simple: just follow my commands and train uncompromisingly. As for what you do during your free time—whether you watch anime, play mobile games, get lost online, or fantasize about having a crush on the captain in your dreams… I really don’t mind. Do whatever makes you happy!
He pulled up a chair in the study and leisurely observed the furnishings all around.
The therapy villa of the Zhenhai Team, located in the Wuyi Mountain Secret Realm, had a structure copied exactly from the training base in Jinling Prefecture, which showed that the Zhendong Army had put a lot of thought into this. The study was about two-thirds the size of the bedroom, and without a balcony, it had poor natural light—a downgrade in living conditions for most ladies, but for an otaku girl, it was perfect—the brightness outside often made it difficult for her to see her computer screen; back when she lived in a rental, her curtains were always drawn.
On the left side against the wall there was a computer desk, a monitor, speakers, and an ergonomic chair, giving the feeling of a “gaming room” many guys dream of. On the right was a bed and two cabinets; the right cabinet was for clothes, filled with various outfits of Xie Ruoxi; the left was a display cabinet, housing an assortment of figurines and Gundam models—how she managed to move all these bits and pieces from Jinling Villa was beyond anyone’s guess.
Xie Ruoxi slid open the wardrobe door, blocking Yan Yu’s view, then began rustling around as she started changing clothes.
At that moment, if Yan Yu had simply stood up and stepped to the left, his view would have cleared the obstacle of the cabinet door, and he could feast his eyes—clearly, the girl either completely let her guard down around him, convinced he would not peek, or she was too nervous to remember this detail.
Xie Ruoxi soon emerged in new clothes, shyly walked up, and asked Yan Yu,
“Captain, do you think this outfit looks good?”
He scrutinized her carefully. Xie Ruoxi’s top consisted of a white shirt covered by a black academic-style jacket with a red ribbon tie forming a bow at the collar. Below, she wore a plaid skirt that reached about mid-thigh, and below that, black long stockings, leaving a small gap that revealed her fair-skinned thighs.
“It looks quite nice. It has a delicate beauty aura,” assessed Yan Yu, “When you opened the wardrobe, I thought you might change into some ‘Magic Girl’ type of bizarre outfit. Those kinds I don’t really appreciate—no offense.”
“Captain, that’s not called bizarre outfit, it’s called Cosplay clothing,” Xie Ruoxi timidly corrected, “Actually, this outfit is technically a cosplay, too. It’s Zongwu High’s female autumn and winter school uniform, it just looks more like regular clothing.”
“It’s fine. It’s within my range of appreciation,” Yan Yu replied.
“I… I have a lot of similar cosplay clothes in my wardrobe,” Xie Ruoxi hesitated, then continued, “They are all quite close to regular clothes. If the captain… has no objections, I’d like to wear them more often.”
If Yun Jin were here, she’d bluntly say, “If the captain likes to see me in them, I’ll wear them out,” but clearly, this direct approach was still too difficult for little Ruoxi.
“Yes, our team doesn’t have strict dress codes,” Yan Yu responded warmly, “As long as it’s nothing too over-the-top.”
“Yes, yes…” Xie Ruoxi didn’t know what else to say, nervously recalling what Yan Jing had taught her:

“Jingjing, what should I do if I have something to say but can’t say it?”
“I’ve told you before, be tender on the outside, tough on the inside. Being tender means taking a roundabout approach, avoiding a confrontation that leaves no room for maneuver; being tough means you must be resolute, even if it means using less straightforward methods, you must let your big brother know what you’re really thinking!”
In fact, Yan Jing said the same to everyone. According to her criteria, Yun Jin was the firm and forthright type in both words and resolve, while Ningning spoke strongly but internally wavered—a tough exterior with a tender heart.
