Chapter 3 The Bride's Decision

  The bride was dressed in a traditional red cheongsam, with her hair styled in a bun and adorned with a red flower. Her entire outfit screamed "I'm the bride!" Wu Fang and Zheng Jingjing were both eye-catching girls at Dongda, always drawing attention from boys wherever they went. With these three standing outside Cao Sen's dormitory door, it was impossible not to draw attention. Soon, the corridor was filled with boys watching, some of whom even deliberately showed off their muscles by taking off their shirts and pushing their way to the front.

  Teng Fei and others heard the noise and came out to take a look, also stunned. How did Sima De and his wife come here? Don't they need to go into their bridal chamber on their wedding night? What's going on with Wu Fang and Zheng Jingjing?

  Cao Sen cursed in his heart that Sima De was not a good thing, making such a big noise. From now on, the campus will definitely be lively for a while. It is said that the first new bride of the boys' dormitory building since the school was founded has arrived. This new bride did not go anywhere else and directly found a certain dormitory to talk to a certain person about something. Damn it! Just as graduation is approaching, another big deal is happening!

  Cao Sen didn't dare let the three beauties stand at the door again, and quickly invited them into the house. Teng Fei and Guo Jing called out a few tall and strong brothers to drive away the boys who were watching the excitement, and finally let the dormitory building quiet down.

  What surprised Cao Sen and his brothers even more was that Sima De's wife came into the house, without asking any questions, and clearly explained the origin and plan of tonight's actions. Finally, she smiled and tried to please her husband: "I know my wife is very understanding. Think about it, tonight my brother goes to catch ghosts, how dangerous? Can I abandon my brothers and go to the bridal chamber alone? I think you wouldn't want me to do that either. It's just that you didn't know beforehand, if you knew, you would definitely scold me, right?"

  Caosen is furious, Commander, you go ahead! You've messed up everything for your brothers. Where's the mighty momentum from before the wedding ceremony?

  The bride ignored Sima De and looked at Cao Sen among the crowd, asking: "Is what he said true?"

  Cao Sen was even angrier in his heart, usually looking down on women, but now he couldn't be slow to the new bride. After all, Sima De was his own brother. He hurriedly put on a smile: "Sister-in-law, please sit down." Turning around, he instructed, "Find the cleanest cup and pour water for sister-in-law."

  Simu De hurriedly grabbed a clean water cup and filled it with water, then handed it to his wife.

  The bride ignored her husband and pulled Wu Fang and Zheng Jingjing to sit on the bed, smiling and asked Cao Sen: "May I ask your surname?"

  Cao Sen

  "Ah, Cao Sen, I'm sorry to trouble you all." The bride said softly, casting a glance at the dormitory, and immediately, all the brothers felt the apology in her beautiful eyes.

  Cao Sen secretly praised: Awesome, Sima De's wife is no ordinary person.

  "So, what he said earlier was all true?"

  "Hehe, we're just having fun, what's with all this ghost stuff..."

  Cao Sen's words were cut off by Wu Fang, who was unwilling to continue, "You still say you haven't, four years ago when I first entered the gates of Dongda, I heard my senior sister say this."

  The bride gently patted Wu Fang's hand, indicating that she had something to say. "Since it's true, I certainly can't hide and watch my husband take risks, so I'll go tonight too!"

  As soon as this was said, Cao Sen and Sima De were completely stunned, while Wu Fang's and Zheng Jingjing's eyes lit up.

  The bride ignored her embarrassed husband and said to the two female companions, "Many hands make light work. Take a look and see if there are any good sisters, invite them all."

  Girls are just weird, you ask them to catch thieves in the middle of the night with the lights off, they'll definitely shake their heads like a wave drum, but say go catch ghosts, although they're scared to death, they all rush forward enthusiastically. Wu Fang and Jingjing took out their mobile phones with flying colors and sent text messages frantically, I don't know how many "good sisters" they contacted.

  Looking at his wife's imperious manner, Sima De's guilt towards her turned into anger. I'm already wronged you, can't you give me some face? How am I supposed to mix with my brothers in the future if you do this?

  Cao Sen stopped Sima De, who was about to lose his temper. He thought to himself, "Big brother, can't you see? She's taking revenge on you. On your wedding night, you abandoned your bride and went out to play with the special forces. Which bride could swallow this insult? Now she's openly stirring up trouble, causing discord among brothers. If they start infighting, she'll be delighted. But can you stop them from going? Not stopping them would only lead to more tricks. It's too late now, even if you wanted to go back and make amends with her."

  It's said that beautiful women lack talent, but this beauty in front of me is really clever and resourceful. This trick is even more brilliant than the "trump card" I played during my own defense. Cao Sen sighed, seeing the two girls still texting, and hurriedly said: "There are too many people, we can't all go, let's just call one or two."

  This remark was effective, and the two girls put down their phones to curiously examine the arsenal in the dorm. Jingjing picked up an M4 rifle to play with it, while Wu Fang scolded her brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, you're too much! My sister saw you sneaking out and followed you, calling me after you entered Dongda, and then following you here. This is my sister's magnanimity; if it were me, humph!"

  The bride smiled and waved her hand to interrupt Wu Fang, saying: "My name is Yang Xiang, you guys don't call me sister-in-law, it sounds like I'm old. By the way, I am Fang's cousin."

  Cao Sen was about to speak, but saw Jing Jing suddenly pull out an M4 from the clip on her desk, flick off the safety with her finger and hold the gun in a sweeping motion, scanning around like in the movies. Cao Sen and his brothers were frightened, hastily crouching down on the ground to avoid the roaming muzzle.

  Jing Jing disdainfully curled her lip and whispered: "Coward, it's just a toy gun."

  Cao Sen grabbed the gun from Jingjing's hand, switched it to single-shot mode, aimed at a row of beer bottles in the corner and pulled the trigger. With a loud bang, one of the beer bottles was shattered. The 6mm steel ball bounced back off the ceiling before falling to the ground.

  "Wow, such great power, it's been modified."

  All brothers listen up, this girl must have played around before.

  Since they couldn't get rid of them, Cao Sen had no choice but to ask Wu Fang to take the new daughter-in-law back to her dormitory to change into more convenient clothes and set a meeting time and place. Then he called over several leading brothers, discussed it, and decided to turn "ghost catching" into "protecting important people", escorting the girls around the teaching building for a lap before calling it a day. As long as they weren't discovered by the school authorities, tonight would be okay.

  At midnight, Cao Sen and others in special combat gear escorted several girls to approach the target - the legendary haunted teaching building.

  Although Yang Xiang came to stir up trouble, and Wu Fang and Jingjing called three more girls over, Cao Sen and the others still strictly followed the rules of special forces, just like they were really escorting a politician's transfer. Their equipment also made several girls exclaim "cool": black combat boots and battle uniforms, black tactical vests and masks, steel helmets, holding black M4 assault rifles with matte finish, and on their thighs, black soft leather gun holsters revealing the handles of black handguns, looking even more like special forces than real ones.

  After the action unfolded, in front of search team A to explore the way, in the middle is the wanted person team B, behind is the guarantee team C, every move is standardized and standardized. Under the dark night, under the gaze of beauties, the tactical movements are performed with ease, and the five girls are tongue-tied.

  Only the bride, Yang Xiang, secretly harbored resentment in her heart. It was you guys who lured my husband away, not even letting him enter our bridal chamber. This performance that's still going strong is really infuriating! I'm going to cause some trouble! She also thought about how at this time, she should be lying in her husband's arms, under the warm lights, either sleeping or chatting sweet nothings, how romantic and warm it should be. But now, she was wandering around campus, which made her even angrier. Catching a glimpse of her husband standing guard beside her, his eyes scanning the surroundings without looking at her once, she couldn't help but lift her leg and kick him.

  Yang Xiang, in order to cause trouble, didn't even change her clothes, wearing a cheongsam and high heels as she joined the action. As a result, this kick had quite some force behind it, with the sharp tip of her shoe landing squarely on Sima De's buttocks.

  Simmering with anger, he spun around intending to lash out, but heard Cao Sen's voice in his earpiece: "B1, B1, maintain your alert position."

  Simu Te gritted his teeth and endured.

  Several girls were laughing out loud.

  In the quiet Dongda campus, there was not a single breeze, and Yang Xiang's high-heeled shoes made an exceptionally crisp sound as they stepped on the ground, echoing far away. Cao Sen secretly kept track of time, wanting to enter the teaching building before the security guard came to check. In the basement of the teaching building lived an elderly janitor who was extremely hard of hearing, and apart from him, there were no other staff members on duty, so Cao Sen and his friends didn't have to worry about being discovered after entering. As long as they entered the teaching building, it would be equivalent to completing half of their task, and the remaining half would be the journey back to the dormitory building. As for the activities inside the teaching building, it was simply accompanying the girls in climbing the stairs, so simple that it could be ignored.

  The gate was locked with a steel wire, which didn't stop these special forces enthusiasts. Unlocking the door was a compulsory course for them. One team member went up and fiddled with it for a few moments, and the door opened. As soon as the door opened, like a silent command, Team A suddenly launched a surprise attack, rushing into the teaching building. Their swift speed and standard tactical movements startled several girls, who also admired them with all their might - these boys are so fierce!

  "A team reporting in, all secure." Cao Sen's earpiece crackled with Team A leader Teng Fei's voice.

  Tsao Sen waved his hand, and Group B escorted the girls into the teaching building, followed by Group C. The last team member closed the door and stuck out his hand from the gap to hang the steel wire lock on the outside handle.

  This teaching building is a large building with eight floors, from the first to seventh floor are the main body of the teaching building, and the eighth floor is a spacious conference room, like a hat on top of the seventh floor. There are three staircases in the building from east to west, only the middle one leads to the eighth floor. Because there are rooms around the staircase, there is no wall that can be illuminated by natural light, so it is very dark even during the day and relies on wall lamps for lighting. However, this structure also facilitated tonight's action, as long as they reached the second floor, Cao Sen could order to turn on the tactical flashlight hung on the gun without worrying about being seen by people outside the building.

  Teng Fei saw everyone enter, leading Team A to slowly climb the stairs and scout ahead. Their footsteps were light, without a sound. The other team members quietly dispersed around the girls. They chose the central main staircase, according to their prior plan to go up to the seventh floor, and then come down from the east staircase to finish work. Cao Sen was encountered in the west staircase room by a gust of wind, which they deliberately avoided tonight.

  Only a few seconds had passed in the darkness, and Wu Fang was already getting anxious, fumbling to grab Jingjing's hand beside her, which was full of sweat. Outside the building, she hadn't felt scared, but once inside, all sorts of ghost stories from the past four years resurfaced in her mind, and not seeing Cao Sen and others anywhere made cold sweat break out. She could feel that Jingjing's hand was also sweaty.

  "Huh, why haven't you left yet? Are you waiting for someone?" Yang Xincheng deliberately made a ruckus, not lowering his voice, which sounded especially loud in the quiet teaching building.

  Wu Fang was startled and whispered a complaint: "Sister, keep your voice down, you scared me to death!"

  Cao Sen's head is bigger than the two of them, this lady is really hard to provoke, tonight must not have an accident. He feared that Sima De and Yang Xiang would make trouble, so without waiting for Team A to report back on the situation at the front lines, he directly ordered: "Team B, take action."

  In the darkness, Sima De's heart was filled with hatred. How did I end up marrying such a woman? Damn it, I won't even consummate the marriage, and tomorrow I'll divorce her!

  The members of Group B supported the six ladies, slowly climbing up to the second floor. With Cao Sen's command, the A group members turned on their tactical flashlights, and the snow-blue light illuminated the corridor brightly.

  Yang Xiang walked a few steps in her high heels, "Where's the ghost? I don't see anything."

  Cao Sen also had a fire in his heart, and he walked to Yang Xiang's side with a low voice, saying: "Sister-in-law, you really shouldn't wear red clothes to come in, what if..."

  "Haha, I'm not afraid."

  In fact, none of these young people believed in the existence of ghosts. The so-called "Ghost Catching Operation" devised by Cao Sen and others was just to make the war game more exciting. Although the girls were scared, they were mostly scaring themselves, so when the tactical flashlight turned on, the girls who saw the light again became bolder. Besides, with a dozen super special forces soldiers who looked even more like special forces soldiers than actual special forces soldiers protecting them, what was there to be afraid of?

  Wu Fang was about to say to her cousin with a smile, "The female ghost in the red dress is the most terrifying," but before she could finish speaking, the sharp soldier suddenly flew up to the corner of the second and third floors, crouched down, and made a "stop" gesture.

  A group of brothers who have played special forces for many years, many movements have become conditioned reflexes. As soon as Tengfei's hand came up, several team members pressed the girls against the wall corner and shielded them with their bodies. Cao Sen suddenly exerted force to press Yang Xiang against his back, using rough movements to warn this restless woman.

  Yang Xiang, who had never been treated this way by a man before, felt shocked, disappointed and angry, her emotions surging to the surface, and she fell silent for a moment. Meanwhile, Ma De from her old company ran to the outermost part of the B team's defense circle, half-kneeling, with his gun on his shoulder, his eyes following the movement of the gun barrel as he pretended to search carefully, completely ignoring his wife.

  A faint sound came from somewhere on the third floor, unusually clear in the silent building.

  Several girls' faces immediately turned white, and they all thought of one word - ghost!

  The team members were waiting for Cao Sen's command. The current situation was not what they had expected, originally just to stroll around the teaching building, mainly on guard against the school's patrolling security guards, never expecting that something would really happen in the teaching building, no matter what was on the third floor, nothing moved without making a sound. What to do? Leave or investigate further? If they withdrew from the building like this, how could they hold their heads up in front of the girls afterwards? Sima De wouldn't even be able to stand up straight in front of his wife. Cao Sen made a decision.

  Teng Fei and two team members alternated covering each other as they quickly climbed to the third floor. The rest of Team A swiftly followed, their bright lights shining steadily and rapidly in all directions, with a beam of light monitoring every possible corner where danger might lurk. After several exchanges of positions, Teng Fei crouched outside the room from which the sound had come.

  This is a small classroom for one class to attend classes, Tengfei has taken classes here and knows the layout of the tables and chairs inside, which is very beneficial for his actions. Looking around at the brothers who are all in position, he carefully examines the door of the house, which is not locked, with a gap hidden behind it.

  Special forces emphasize swift and decisive action, after preparation, it's a lightning strike. Teng Fei and his brother burst into the room, pushing open the door, followed by their teammates pouring in one after another. In an instant, six beams of light illuminated every corner of the classroom.

  "Don't... don't shoot, I'm a student of Dongda!"

  The scene in front of them made the team members' hearts race, and it turned out that a pair of young lovers were hiding in the classroom to make out. Five or six desks were put together to form a bed, with cotton fabric spread on top. The male lover was lying on top of his partner's body, his white buttocks trembling under the light.

  Teng Fei first reported to Cao Sen with a microphone: "Group A report, safe." Then he gestured for the team members to turn off their tactical flashlights, although Yuanyang had pulled up the curtains, he was still worried about being seen by people outside the building.

  Ding Haitao is a member of Team A, walked to the "bedside" and said in a low but majestic tone: "Special police drill, we didn't see you, you didn't see us, remember?"

  The male Mandarin duck nodded desperately, his eyes avoiding these special forces who seemed to have descended from the heavens.

  "You can't leave this classroom tonight, keep doing what you want to do, what you love to do, until dawn, got it?"

  The male Mandarin duck nodded desperately.

  Several teammates finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, Ding Haitao is too ruthless.

  Teng Fei smiled and also leaned in to whisper: "Next time before getting into bed, remember to push the door shut."

  The male mandarin duck's head nodded wildly again.

  Teng Fei suppressed his smile and made a withdrawing gesture.

  Ding Haitao took advantage of his brothers' inattention, reached out and grabbed the female swan's chest fiercely, then followed his teammates to withdraw.

  At the door, Teng Fei patted Ding Haitao's shoulder and asked, "Cool?"

  "Great, other people's wives are just better!"

  At this time, Group B and Group C also arrived at the third floor. At the entrance of the stairs, the people in Group A quietly told everyone what they saw, and the girls also heard it, their faces blushing bright red, covering their mouths and laughing uncontrollably.

  Yang Xian gave Sima De a resentful stare, but Sima De turned his head away, pretending he hadn't seen it.

  Actually, the situation that Teng Fei and his friends encountered is not rare in colleges, although it's not unique. Student couples need passion, but they have nowhere to go, so they can only use classrooms, which don't cost money and are familiar places, and there's also a different kind of thrill. It's really the best place for student couples, of course, this requires some courage.

  After this unexpected event, everyone became more relaxed. Even a young couple dared to spend the night in the classroom, what are we afraid of with so many people?

  Wu Fang looked up with an excited little face, "Let's search all the classrooms and see how many couples we can find?"

  "Yes, I and Fangfang will lead the team, you follow behind!" Jingjing was also in high spirits.

  This remark left Cao Sen and others stunned. They had thought that the girls would be shy and suggest stopping the action, but they didn't expect this suggestion.

  Cao Sen looked at the two girls who really had the makings of vanguard, he shook his head and stopped them saying: "No way, we have to follow the plan. Team A, up!"

  Wu Fang and Jing Jing pouted at the same time, looking unhappily as Teng Fei led his teammates up to the fourth floor.
