The veins on Zhou Shuyi's forehead bulged. These girls were so bold that they took turns to fight with him!

"Step out—!"

He wanted to see where this lone hero came from!

Qingshan stepped out of the group and stood beside Xuan Xuan. Xuan Xuan gave her a grateful look: See, in times of crisis, it’s still the same people who come to help. What a great show!

Zhou Shuyi noticed the person in the formation was Chen Qingshan, and his face darkened to the point of dripping water. He disliked Wu Jiaying first, and Chen Qingshan second. Her delicate skin showed she'd been spoiled since childhood. Everyone else had gotten a tan these past few days, but she was perfectly fine, glowing white. The entire formation looked like a bad pixel on a monitor, glaringly obvious.

"Why, you want to stand out too?"

Qingshan looked at the bloodshot eyes, chapped lips and swollen forehead of Zhou Shuyi, and thought to himself, no wonder he has such a bad temper, it's because of his excessive heart fire!

"Instructor, everyone has different physiques and tolerances to training. I think it's better to teach students in accordance with their aptitude!

Zhou Shuyi curled his lips and said, "Teach students in accordance with their aptitude? Then what kind of aptitude are you? Young lady or young master? I see you're just spoiled, not much better than her! You two are useless!"

Ruyi Tuanzi shouted in the space: "Shanshan--, stab him with a flying needle! Too arrogant!" The red light was buzzing with anger: "Master, let me out, I will sting him to death!" Qingshan sighed and comforted the two children. This Zhou Shuyi was too extreme in his behavior and would suffer a big loss sooner or later.

"Instructor, how did you decide that I was a spoiled child?"

"Humph, you've been standing at attention for so long, everyone else is sweating profusely, but your clothes aren't wet at all. What does that mean? It means you're lazy, you're not training hard, and you haven't achieved the purpose of strengthening your physique at all!"

Qingshan was speechless. What a weird reason. Not sweating means not training well?

"Instructor, I have met the standards for every move. I haven't been lazy at all. I also think I am in great shape."

Zhou Shuyi sneered: "Look at the whole team, you're the only one with fair skin. You can't be more ugly than you think, and you still call yourself a good physique?"

Aoyama: ...sick in the brain.

Students: Instructor, please stop kidding! Do you know how much we envy her for not getting a tan? If that's considered ugly, we're willing to be ugly forever!

"Instructor, how about we make a bet?"

Zhou Shuyi suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. Was it because it was too hot and he was hallucinating?

"What? A bet?"

Qingshan smiled, revealing two dimples:

"You said we were useless, sickly young masters and spoiled young ladies, so I'll challenge you to a physical contest. If I win, you must apologize for what you said and did just now, and send the students with special physical conditions to the office and the kitchen."

Zhou Shuyi was amused. He was truly a young and inexperienced person who was not afraid of tigers. Was he asking for trouble by competing in physical fitness with the leader of the Tiger Group?

"You lost?"

"If I lose, then as you said, I'll take on Wu Jiaying's training, double the training!"

Xuan Xuan quickly said: "I'll split it with her!" Li Lulu supported Wu Jiaying and was not left behind: "And me!" Wu Jiaying was feeling better at this time, and she knew that she had implicated her roommate, so she cried even harder.

Zhou Shuyi nodded. No matter what, the spirit of these girls of "never abandoning, never giving up" was still commendable, and had some military demeanor! His expression was not as bad as before, and his tone softened:

"I'm telling you, I'm the best in the Tiger Corps. I'm giving you one chance to take back what you just said. Return to the team now, and I'll pretend nothing happened."

"Instructor, are you scared?"

Zhou Shuyi: ...Oh my god? (⊙_⊙)

Classmates: Holy crap, I didn’t expect Chen Qingshan to be so bold!

Zhou Shuyi has a hot temper and cannot stand provocation:

"Alright! I accept your challenge. If I lose, I apologize and let you go. If you lose, I'll give you a double scolding!"

"Captain Zhou, what's the challenge?"

A pleasant male voice sounded, and Leng Xing walked over from the direction of the office building with a warm smile.

Seeing him coming, Zhou Shuyi bumped his heels and saluted: "Chief of Staff!"

Leng Xing nodded, looking at the four girls outside the line. Leng Xing had just come out of Luo Wenyuan's place and walked downstairs to see Zhou Shuyi lashing out at the students again. He was about to show up and say something to Zhou Shuyi, but Xuan Xuan was quicker than him and openly challenged Zhou Shuyi. Leng Xing found this interesting and stood at a distance, listening and watching. Unexpectedly, this observation opened his eyes: these students at Shouda University were so interesting, the women were even better than the men.

"Captain Zhou, what's going on?"

Leng Xing asked even though he knew the answer. Zhou Shuyi had been criticized by the Chief of Staff for many things related to military training, but he just couldn't change. Seeing that Leng Xing was determined to get to the bottom of it, he had no choice but to briefly explain the bet. Leng Xing's eyes lit up like stars:

"Classmate, what's your name?"

Seeing the arrival of a leader, Qingshan felt more confident. With someone testifying, he was not afraid that Zhou Shuyi would lose and deny his confession.

"My name is Chen Qingshan."

After saying that, he gave Leng Xing a shy and well-behaved smile.

Leng Xing almost covered his heart with anger: How could Zhou Shuyi not just talk to such a delicate and lovely girl? He forced her to compete with him in physical fitness. Is he still a human being? The more Leng Xing thought about it, the angrier he became, glaring at Zhou Shuyi.

"Ahem—, classmate Chen, let's put it this way. I'll arrange for students with special physical abilities to help out in the kitchens at the headquarters and in the various regimental cafeterias. Forget about your bet with Captain Zhou. He's the commander of the Tiger Regiment, and his soldiers are the best in the entire unit. Captain Zhou has high standards and was a bit harsh on you. I apologize on his behalf!"

Leng Xing spoke very sincerely, but Qingshan didn't buy his words at all. Zhou Shuyi had just scolded her, and she couldn't let it go.

"Commander, the one who made the bet with me is Instructor Zhou."

That means Leng Xing has no say on whether the bet is valid or not. Zhou Shuyi nodded:

"Okay! What do you want to compete in? 3000 meters or 5000 meters?"

Leng Xing stared at Zhou Shuyi, wishing he could grab his neck and shake him a few times: I've already built the steps for you, you can just get off the donkey by following the slope, why do you have to get excited with a girl, are you trying to show off your ability?

Qingshan raised his hand and pointed to the training ground below the headquarters building:

"Just better than that!"
