This "he" refers to Hao Youyou. Mu Yu disliked Hao Youyou from the start, not only because she changed boyfriends more often than clothes, but also because Mu Yu saw through Hao Youyou's selfish and self-serving nature.
He heard everything Hao Youyou said clearly. Given that Ding Junji hadn't provoked him, that the strongest team's victory was 90% dependent on him and Ruan Mingchu, and that Hao Youyou was a useless piece of trash who only dragged the team down, what right did he have to make sarcastic remarks?
The same thing happened with the team last time. If Mu Yu hadn't overheard other classmates chatting and asked Ruan Mingchu, he wouldn't have known that Ruan Mingchu had been forced to form a team, and that it was all caused by Hao Youyou, who claimed to be his good friend.
Instead of immediately notifying the parties involved after discovering something online, they indulge in verbal sparring for their own pleasure, and they lack the ability to resolve the problem.
According to Mu Yu, Hao Youyou and Ye Lele are the same kind of people, except that one "likes" Ruan Mingchu and the other hates him.
Seeing Mu Yu's ashen face, Ruan Mingchu gave a helpless smile: "It hasn't come to that."
Ruan Minh Thu was much older and, as the crown prince, he was very tolerant of children and his people. As long as it wasn't illegal or criminal, he accepted it quite easily.
If arrogance and disdain for others are common traits of noble Alphas, then refined selfishness and willful behavior are the daily routine of noble Omegas and Betas.
This is a deep-seated problem created by the prevailing circumstances; it's pointless to offer a few superficial comments.
Like Hao Youyou and Ye Lele, their families taught them from a young age to find a good husband in the future. They had no ambition or dreams, and could get whatever they wanted effortlessly.
Military academy is the most expansive world they experience in their lives. Once they get married, they are confined to that small space and can only accept spoiled affection that has become corrupted.
Growing up in such an environment, how can one develop a sense of awe, or be cautious in speech and action?
Changing them won't happen overnight; it will take time. As for what might happen along the way, Ruan Mingchu didn't know.
He doesn't have the habit of pruning a single tree; his focus is always on the entire forest.
Mu Yu had no idea what Ruan Mingchu was thinking. He only felt that if Ruan Mingchu continued to indulge Hao Youyou now, Hao Youyou would definitely cause him trouble in the future.
He rolled his eyes dramatically. "Whatever. Anyway, it's not like I'll be the one getting screwed over."
"I'm leaving now, I'll wait for your meeting."
As soon as the door closed, Hao Youyou grabbed a pillow from Ruan Mingchu's bed and threw it at him.
The pillow hit the door without making a sound, lying innocently on the floor.
In the quiet room, Hao Youyou's rapid breathing filled the air. His eyes were filled with tears as he accused Ruan Mingchu, "He just looks down on me. Everything I do is wrong."
He even tried so hard to matchmake Mu Yu and Brother Ruan, what a waste of his good intentions.
Hao Youyou thought that her brother Ruan would comfort her like before, but she only saw him looking at her expressionlessly.
A hint of coldness seemed to flash across that delicate face. Hao Youyou frantically grabbed the bed sheet, as if drawing strength from it.
Looking up again, I saw Brother Ruan with a gentle smile: "He has the right to hate you, and you can hate him too. There's no need to be sad or upset."
Hao Youyou nodded blankly and sniffed.
"Alright, stop crying," Ruan Mingchu poured Hao Youyou a glass of warm water. "I'm going next door for a bit. You can go back to your room, or you can stay here for a while. How about we have lunch together?"
"Okay, okay," Hao Youyou nodded.
He looked at Ruan Mingchu's back and felt a moment of confusion. How did things develop to this point?
He was just making a joke off the cuff.
Is Brother Ruan angry with him?
When Ruan Mingchu went in, all eleven people had already arrived.
The individual rooms in the spaceship weren't spacious; besides the bathroom, there was only a bed and a sofa. Everyone was either sitting or standing, making it a bit crowded.
Although they had trained together for many days, they still didn't get along and didn't speak to each other before Ruan Mingchu arrived.
When he arrived, it was as if magic had broken down the barrier, and the atmosphere eased.
Ding Junji was still impatient: "What do you want with us?"
Ruan Mingchu turned on the LCD screen hanging on the wall opposite the bed and selected projection on the terminal: "Principal Li, who set off first, helped us collect some information on the participating teams. Let's all take a look."
"Just for this?" Ding Junji snorted. "You can forward it to us on your terminal, and we can each watch it in our own rooms. Isn't that better than crammed here?"
Ruan Mingchu smiled slightly: "Principal Li specifically instructed me to gather everyone together to watch, because he was afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it."
Everyone: ? ? ?
What the heck?
Is that even human language?
They're not fragile!
When the students of the Empire's First Military Academy and the countless star beasts appeared on the LCD screen, everyone held their breath.
This scene is breathtaking!
Ruan Mingchu introduced in a particularly leisurely manner: "He is the captain of the First Military Academy's team, Ruan Lifeng, and his location is the 12th District on the northern border of the Empire."
Based on the size, strength, and offensive status of the border star beasts, the Empire divided the border into fifty districts.
The further you go, the more dangerous it becomes.
Of the twelve people present, apart from Nguyen Minh Thu and Mu Yu, none of them had actually been to the border battlefield.
They led their teams on missions, which, although called the border, were still some distance from the actual battlefield.
As Ruan Mingchu finished speaking, Ruan Lifeng on the screen took out his mecha and entered it in less than a second, then killed the ferocious star beasts as easily as slicing melons and chopping vegetables.
Everyone couldn't help but imagine what would happen if they were Ruan Lifeng's enemy.
The video is only three minutes long, so you can watch it quickly.
Ruan Mingchu looked left and right, and seeing everyone staring blankly, he couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, stop spacing out, who wants to share their thoughts after watching it?"
Silence is the dominant theme today.
Before Ruan Mingchu could answer, the entire spaceship suddenly began to shake.
It happened in an instant, yet it caused everyone's expression to change drastically.
They all sprang into action and rushed toward the spaceship's main control room.
The spaceship had many viewing windows through which one could see the scenery outside the universe. At this moment, the area around the windows was crowded with people, who were determined to see it clearly even though it was pitch black outside.
When Ruan Mingchu and his party arrived at the control room and identified themselves as military academy students, the driver's assistant received them.
The assistant said, "We checked the surrounding environment and the spaceship itself, but we didn't find anything unusual. It's like the vibration just now was everyone's hallucination."
His face was full of doubt; in his five or six years in the industry, he had never encountered such a situation.

————————————
Thank you for the comment "原枫落下走" (Yuanfeng Luoxia Zou), love you~
I plan to thank everyone for the nutrient solution and other thanks all at once after the story is finished. Love you all! Since these are all drafts, and I'd have to go to the backend to edit the author's notes, and there aren't many of them, it'll be more lively to see them all together at the end. _(:_」∠)_
29. Lia is a clueless country bumpkin who can't keep up with the trends on Earth!
Ding Junji asked to take a look inside the main control room, but his assistant looked troubled: "According to regulations, non-spacecraft personnel are not allowed to enter the main control room."
"Heh," Ding Junji said with a half-smile, looking at Mu Yu, "Isn't this your family's property?"
Mu Yu ignored Ding Junji and said to his assistant, "You can contact me if you need us."
He left his terminal number with his assistant, who nodded blankly, clearly still reeling from Ding Junji's words.
Did he get the Crown Prince's contact information? Could he be the legendary protagonist who will be appreciated by a powerful figure, promoted, given a raise, and married to a beautiful and wealthy woman?
After getting away from the main control room, Ding Junji asked Mu Yu, "Why don't we go in and take a look? The spaceship can't be shaking for no reason."
Shen Huanli still resented him for being the first to embarrass her, and immediately retorted, "How come you can see the problem just by looking at it?"
Ding Junji said irritably, "So, you think just waiting will produce results?"
Shen Huanli wanted to speak again, but Ruan Mingchu stopped her.
“Taking a step back first is to avoid alerting the enemy,” he said mysteriously. “This spaceship does indeed have problems. Whether we can find out is up to you all. Let’s postpone the plan to analyze the enemy for now. You can focus on fighting the spaceship first.”
Ding Junji frowned: "You mean you've already discovered the problem?"
"Are you kidding me? Even A-level is way too overpowered." Ding Junji thought back to the high-level mental strength that Ruan Mingchu displayed during the Liberation Day event and the team mission.
Double S is only one level higher than S, how can the difference be so big? Ding Junji didn't want to believe it.
Ruan Mingchu snapped his fingers playfully: "Yes, if everyone doesn't notice in time, there might be danger."
I was worried about how to increase everyone's unity and cohesion, but this spaceship has such a big surprise inside!
When one person can't handle something, they'll inevitably need to ask their teammates for help. After fighting side by side and sharing life and death, that bond develops.
Everyone seemed to sense the coldness in Ruan Mingchu's words. Ding Junji gritted his teeth and asked, "Since you discovered it, why didn't you just solve it? There are still so many ordinary people on the spaceship."
"Don't worry," Ruan Mingchu said. How could he possibly risk the lives of his people? "I've already contacted Marshal Mu. He will send someone to cover for you."
Although Ruan Mingchu felt he was enough, these little ones didn't trust him, so to put their minds at ease, he still found someone they trusted to back them up.
Lei Qianjun counted on his fingers: "In that case, let's see who can find the problem first. Goodbye everyone, I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he waved his hand and left in one direction.
Seeing him leave, the others looked at each other and also left.
If they didn't lack so many independent directions, Ruan Mingchu probably would have loved to stay far away from everyone else.
After everyone else left, only Ruan Mingchu, Mu Yu, and Gong Zhushen remained. Little Gong looked left and right, feeling out of place, and hugged her weak self tightly: "Then, then I'll go too?"
Ruan Mingchu nodded: "Otherwise, are you confident?"
That hurts! Little Gong ran away.
At this point, only Mu Yu and Ruan Mingchu remained.
Before Ruan Mingchu could speak, Mu Yu volunteered, "I'll go too."
“No, no, no,” Ruan Mingchu shook his head, “You are different from them.”
"Come with me."
