Bai Qingyi was in the common area folding her clothes when Zhao Lifei slammed the door open and in came her younger sister, Bai Jinshuang.
Bai Qingyi glanced at Bai Jinshuang who shook her head. Zhao Lifei waited approximately five minutes in silence before she walked out of the complex and towards the fields again. It was as if she had an argument with herself.
"What happened?" Bai Qingyi asked when Zhao Lifei was out of sight.
"It's General Jiang Zihui again."
"Ugh, him again? How many times has it been already? Five times this week? And it's only Tuesday!" Bai Qingyi sighed, placing her neatly folded clothes into the basket behind her to be taken to her quarters.
"He's smitten by our Xiao Li and she barely acknowledges him anymore!" She added on, standing up and ready to search for Dai Lang.
"He has gotten way too arrogant ever since he became the General. I heard he abandoned everything Xiao Li taught him back then. How ungrateful." Bai Jinshuang said, collapsing onto a couch and watching as Bai Qingyi adjusted her hair before opening the door.
"And it's not like we can do anything about it. He's ranked far above us." Bai Qingyi bid her younger sister goodbye and left the room.
Bai Jinshuang did not like being alone in the Officer Quarters complex and decided to finally attend her afternoon classes.
Zhao Lifei glanced behind her shoulders and after ensuring Jiang Zihui was off the premises, she tied up her hair and began to practice. She released her anger by shooting targets again and again until she ran through the allotted blank bullets and the sun was beginning to set. With her tinted goggles on, she did not realize how much time had passed until there was no more ammo for her to use. She took off her goggles, cleaned her weapon, put the gun back into the locked arms room, and then jogged back to the Officer's complex, taking off her jacket in the process.
She saw a lot of the lights were off in the other rooms in the hallway and checked the time. Hm, that's strange. There haven't been a lights out since Officer training school. She shrugged it off.
A Physical Fitness Assessment was coming up and they could be exhausted from training so she went to her room. Seeing as the light was also off in the common area, she figured the Bai sisters were not back yet.
She went and opened the door to her bedroom and stepped inside, her nose wrinkling when she smelled something odd. She tried to switch on the lights but found that it was not working. She rapidly blinked and saw a large figure sitting on her bed.
"Are you crazy? I'm going to report you for this!" She hissed, turning on her heels to open the door, but she saw that it was locked. She heard the sound of disappearing footsteps and her heart dropped.
"What is going on? Unlock the door now." She snarled, swiveling around, her back slammed against the metal door when she realized the man was way too close for her liking. When did he get up from the bed?
"Why...do you not like me…?" He slurred his words, his breath reeked of alcohol.
Zhao Lifei's nose wrinkled in disgust, as she waved her hand in front of her. At first, she did not know who it was until she heard his voice. Was this … Jiang Zihui? Because it was so dark, she was not sure, but she had an inkling suspicion that it was him.
"Gross. You stink. Get away from me Zihui."
The man was quiet for a second, almost as if he was processing her words.
"I-its because of my bad breath…? I'll brush my teeth three times a day...then." He hiccuped his face beet red from the usual Asian glow [1]. When she tried to side-step him, he slammed his arms on either side of her head.
"W-where are you going?" He sheepishly asked.
Zhao Lifei knew she was doomed. Even if he was drunk, he could easily overpower her. Not many people here could do that. "Go back to your quarters and sleep it off. Drink some water too or else you'll get a hangover." She coaxed him, hoping he would just scram already. He was stinking up her room!
"N-no…" He lowered his head and whispered into her ear, "I want to spend the night with you today."
Zhao Lifei's body shriveled in disgust, "Over my dead body!"
"That can be a-arranged." He let out a laugh before he forcibly grabbed her chin.
Zhao Lifei's eyes widened when he suddenly sealed his lips over hers, moving against her stiff ones. She pressed her lips together and tried to fight against his grip, but it was not working. "Mmph!" She tried to kick him in his most sensitive part, but he crossed his leg over hers and pinned her against the wall.
When he pulled back to breathe, she pushed her head back and slammed it against his forehead.
His grip loosened and she seized that chance to raise her hand.
PAK!
Zhao Lifei had smacked him, his face whiplashing to the side. "Go back! You're drunk!" She screamed, attempting to escape when he abruptly picked her up, hoisted her over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes and then walked to her bed, tossing her onto it.
"You screwed up." He snarled at her. "The slap just woke me up." He hissed, pinning her onto the bed and taking off his belt to tie her wrists. She bit and kicked at him, refusing to allow him to hold her wrists together.
"Are you crazy?! What are you doing? Is this how you repay me for all the months I've spent training you?" She screamed, her body fighting against his, but he was so strong, she could barely move an inch. It did not take long for her wrists to be bounded.
In two easy tugs, her shirt was ripped off of her, revealing her creamy skin and the sports bra she was wearing. Her body stiffened, her eyes going wide. Memories were flooding back to her. He flipped her to her stomach, pressing her deep into the bed.
"Don't do it." She meekly whispered when he bent his head and pressed a soft kiss upon her cheek.
"It's okay, I'm going to be gentle. I'll marry you after this. I'll take responsibility okay?" He did not mean to be rough with her. It just came out that way. She was too feisty.
"Relax."
"Why does it have to be like this?" She cried out when one hand went to her waist and the other inched close to her body.
"Women like you will only behave once your innocence has been robbed." He muttered, his eyes fixating upon her hair. "Didn't I tell you not to tie it up? This is what happens when you reveal your neck." He snarled, pressing his mouth against her neck and harshly suckling upon the area, then biting deep into it. She let out a pained cry, struggling against his arms, tears filling her eyes.
"I'm going to kill you."
He began to tug down her pants.
"You're going too far with this, stop it!" She shrieked, kicking at his arms but he easily dodged it. When the lines of her laced undergarments were revealed, her eyes widened more and tears began to flow.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Xiao Li?! What's going on? Why is your door locked?!" Bai Qingyi pounded on the door with Bai Jinshuang right beside her.
Bai Jinshuang bent to the floor and tried to peer through the crack beneath the door. She could distinctly see the tiny green cloth. "I can see your jacket on the floor, I know you're in there! Open up. Are you okay? Why are you yelling?"
