Chapter 9 - 7: Sister-Protecting Maniac
Xie Ying'an's photo was sneakily taken and posted on the school forum during his freshman military training, instantly sparking a wave of excitement on the forum.
From the age of nine, Xie Ying'an was raised by his maternal grandfather, Mr. Zhao, who was an officer renowned for his illustrious military achievements. Even soldiers trained under him who had reached their sixties or seventies still held him in highest respect, which speaks volumes about his authority.
Under Mr. Zhao's tutelage, Xie Ying'an transformed from a somewhat hot-tempered boy into an indifferent and aloof young man, a transition that was undoubtedly challenging.
Xie Ying'an developed many good habits under Mr. Zhao's influence; typically, he went to bed promptly at 10 p.m., woke up at 5 a.m. for a morning run and training regardless of the weather, and he always maintained a straight posture whether walking or sitting.
During the two years in high school, he had never done something as losing face as falling asleep on the desk.
For all freshmen, military training was hellish torture, but for Xie Ying'an, it was child's play. His relaxed posture and striking looks in the photo earned him the title "so handsome it's criminal" on the school forum.
Thus, during the private voting for the school's heartthrob, Xie Ying'an overwhelmingly outscored the previous fresh-faced senior, securing the top spot easily.
The post titled "Is the school heartthrob in a puppy love?" had climbed to over 130 comments when it was suddenly deleted by the moderator without any warning.
Instantly, the original poster and everyone involved in the discussion were outraged, prompting them to start a new thread: "Who is the school forum administrator?"
This post accrued over 600 comments by the end of the school day, with only comment 542 suggesting that the admin might be the senior, God Ji.
Comment 546 scoffed, "Are you joking? That's God Ji; a deity high above the cloud, a world apart from us mortals. He would never bother with such trivial matters!"
