Chapter 1202: Chapter 1221: Picking Someone Up

He appeared at the school gate and immediately captured the attention of numerous people.

In the military school, people in uniform were a common sight, and even many of the school leaders served dual roles as divisional commanders or staff officers in the military districts.

However, someone who wore the uniform so strikingly well was a rare find.

The first snow of winter started to fall lightly, so fine that, unlike in the south, it didn’t melt as soon as it touched you due to the dry and cold climate. In no time, Huo Beijiang’s body, hair, and even his eyelashes were dusted with delicate snowflakes.

It softened the harsh, stern aura of a killer that emanated from him, but the commanding presence formed from long periods in power, issuing orders, and making decisions remained very strong.

He just stood there at the school entrance, utterly unconcerned with the fact that people around him were stealthily watching, even pointing and whispering.

"Look, the guy in the military uniform is so handsome."

"He’s so dashing, I really didn’t waste my time choosing military school."

"I just love this kind of manly vibe."

"It’s true... they say men in the military have more presence, are stronger, and it really is true..."

Schoolgirls passing by Huo Beijiang after classes were so thrilled they nearly fainted. Some of the more senior students couldn’t bear to watch any longer and, fearing the freshmen might offend the officer, had to sternly remind them,

"Keep up appearances, don’t disgrace our military school."

"Open your eyes wide and look, look at the man’s rank, that’s an officer."

Getting into military school meant they were already well-versed in recognizing ranks. It was just that Huo Beijiang was so young – a man in his twenties was at best a second lieutenant. Who would bother to check the rank additionally when their first glance naturally went to the face, and then the physique?

Now reminded like this, the schoolgirls who had been so excited they were about to faint turned pale with fear, actually on the verge of fainting.

But not from excitement, from fright.

"Hey! This officer looks really familiar, right? Did anyone notice where we’ve seen him before?"

A few upperclassmen passing by took a closer look and mustered the courage to get a glimpse of Huo Beijiang’s face, which is when they realized who was standing at the school gate.

"It’s our senior, it’s our senior," a male student excitedly rambled, "It’s Huo Beijiang, the commander of the 36th Division; I’ve seen him on the school’s wall of honor."

With that, the crowd completely erupted, and just as everyone was about to boldly greet him, Huo Beijiang, who had stood still, seemed to see something. His indifferent eyes suddenly brightened, and he walked toward a girl.

At the gate, all the students’ gazes shifted with Huo Beijiang’s, even some teachers and a few parents of the students couldn’t help but stare.

Nan Fei, who had just walked out of the school gate, also saw him; she was with He Shasha, Chen Yuanyuan, and Zhuo Xiaoxiao chatting about how to spend the two-day break. The ones far from home were staying in the dorms, not going back.

Local residents from the Imperial City would definitely return home, and with He Rongxi arriving, He Shasha had to see him and had no time to spare.

Zhuo Xiaoxiao had keen eyes, especially for good-looking men, her senses sharper than a radar. She was the first to notice Huo Beijiang approaching them and trembled with excitement, "Look, look, a top-quality man is walking this way."

"Where? Where?" As Chen Yuanyuan turned around, she clutched Nan Fei’s hand, awestruck, "Damn! Not only is he handsome, but his figure is also amazing, at least between 188 to 190 centimeters tall."
