"You three, stand to the side."

Instructor Zhang glared menacingly at the three of them.

Chen Yu and the other two lowered their heads, looking somewhat embarrassed, as Instructor Zhang stood in front of them pacing back and forth.

"What were you three doing down there while the school's top leaders were giving speeches? That's incredibly disrespectful."

Li Yang was overjoyed to see them being reprimanded, and he suddenly moved his chair next to Shen Yan.

"Interested in messing with them with me? They were the ones who bullied you before."

"Not interested."

Shen Yan's cold reply displeased Li Yang, but he still wanted to try to win Shen Yan over.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with me? I have a great way to embarrass those three."

Shen Yan looked at Li Yang's smug face and said, "Tell me about it."

"I plan to have someone impersonate Jiang Yang and let him date two girls at once. Chen Yu and Wang Yue will both be his. If word gets out that they're in a love triangle, their reputations will be ruined."

"You're very smart..."

Shen Yan was speechless. The words were sarcastic, and he didn't know if Li Yang understood them.

"It's alright, I think you're pretty smart too. How about it, want to come with me?"

Li Yang's words impressed Shen Yan somewhat. "I'm not very interested. I wish you success."

"Alright."

Having failed to win someone over, Li Yang moved a chair and prepared to find the next person.

Chen Yu and the other two were forced to stand until they finished speaking.

Wang was even more agitated. She was already tired, and now she had to stand as punishment.

"Ugh, this is so annoying, I don't want to stand anymore, I want to go home!"

As Wang Yue spoke, she burst into tears. Her cries attracted the attention of the instructor, who asked, "Why are you crying just because you're being punished by standing?"

Hearing the instructor say that, Wang Yue cried even louder. She was already feeling wronged, and being forced to stand as punishment made her feel even more aggrieved.

"Alright, alright, you can go back to your dorm. You take her back, then you go back to your unit."

The instructor asked Chen Yu to accompany Wang Yue back to the dormitory to rest, but Jiang Yang had to return to the team to continue listening.

Wang Yue was sobbing on her way back to the dormitory.

"Okay, stop crying. If we get through tonight, there's only one day left. We'll be able to go home soon."

"Waaaaah, I want to go home right now! I don't want to stay here anymore, the soles of my feet are all blistered!"

Wang Yue sat on the bed and took off her shoes. Chen Yu glanced at them and saw that they were indeed rubbed raw and bleeding.

She took out a carefully packed medicine packet from her bag.

"Lift your foot up, I'll apply the medicine for you."

Wang Yue sniffled and obediently lifted her foot to apply the medicine to Chen Yu.

"Go and rest, I'll go collect your clothes."

Chen Yu let Wang Yue sleep on her bed. She went to the bathroom to tidy up her clothes, and when she came out, Wang Yue was already asleep.

The door was pushed open, and the other girls returned. Chen Yu wasn't familiar with them, so she didn't greet them.

late at night.

Li Yang secretly got out of bed, took Jiang Yang's game console, and hid it in the bathroom window. He then adjusted the angle so that no one could see it.

With his scheme succeeding, Li Yang slept soundly all night. He had long wanted to teach Jiang Yang a lesson.

At 6:30 a.m. sharp, the whistle outside rang out.

Everyone reluctantly got out of bed.

Wang Yue went to bed early last night, and when she woke up she felt refreshed, but her legs and feet were very sore.

The two moved quickly without disturbing the other girls getting up and washing up.

The instructor was waiting at the door early, and when he saw Wang Yue, he called her over.

Are you feeling better?

Wang Yue nodded awkwardly. She had just lost control of her emotions last night, and the instructor didn't say anything more, telling the two of them to wait for everyone else to arrive.

Jiang Yang walked over, yawning. "You guys got up so early?"

"Yes, I went to bed early last night."

Wang Yue gave a very calm answer. Chen Yu didn't say anything. She was still looking into the boys' dormitory, wondering why Shen Yan was taking so long to come out today.

"Jiang Yang, where's Shen Yan? Go check on him."

"I don't know, he left when I got up."

"They went out?"

Chen Yu looked at Jiang Yang in shock. He had already come out, so how could he not be in the team? Her heart sank.

She stood up, intending to find Shen Yan. She ran to the path next to the dormitory and saw Ma Qi blocking Shen Yan's way.

She frowned and listened carefully to their conversation.

It seemed that Ma Qi was expressing her affection for Shen Yan again, but Shen Yan looked at her silently without giving any response.

Ma Qi was getting anxious. Looking at Shen Yan's indifferent face, she stood on tiptoe and tried to hook her arm around Shen Yan's neck.

But Shen Yan dodged it, saying, "Ma Qi, please have some self-respect!"

"Can't you accept me at all?!"

Ma Qi became increasingly agitated, gripping Chen Yan's sleeve tightly and refusing to let go.

Chen Yu stepped forward and shielded Shen Yan behind her, saying, "Don't push your luck, or I'll tell the teacher."

"What's it to you? Now you're playing the good guy, but everyone knows how you bullied your brother before."

Ma Qi was already angry, and when she saw Chen Yu suddenly barge in, she suddenly felt ashamed, as if she had been seen doing something bad.

"That's between him and me, it's none of your business."

Chen Yu tried to pull Shen Yan away, but Ma Qi stopped her, saying, "You and I still have things to say to him. You go on your own."

"I have nothing to say to you."

Shen Yan stopped Ma Qi and pulled Chen Yu away.

She was left alone in the path, crying.

Chen Yu felt a little excited as she looked at Shen Yan holding her wrist; such intimate contact!

Seeing that Chen Yu hadn't returned for so long, Wang Yue and Jiang Yang were both thinking of going to look for her.

"Students, assemble!"

The instructor shouted at the students sitting on the ground.

These two were also unable to find them.

"What should we do, Jiang Yang? If we catch them, they'll both get punished again."

"Wait a minute, I'll go distract the instructor!"

Jiang Yang planned to sacrifice himself to save his good friend, but the two of them returned to the team at the last moment.

While the group was moving, Wang Yue tugged at Chen Yu's sleeve and asked, "Where did you guys go?"

"I'll tell you when I get back, it's really explosive."

Wang Yue was displeased upon hearing this; wasn't this just pure seduction?

"Oh, I'll tell you later, I can't wait!"

Wang Yue's voice was a bit loud, and the instructor overheard it. He leaned closer to the two of them and asked, "What did you say? Let me hear it too?"

"Oh, don't be so gossipy."

When Wang Yue turned around, she saw that it was the instructor next to her, and she was so scared that her soul almost flew out of her body.

"Hmph, it's you two again. If I find you again, you'll have to do squats."

Now Wang Yue was completely obedient and stopped bothering Chen Yu to talk.

But actually, she was feeling really pent up inside; gossip has a huge appeal to people.

The morning training was intense, and the girls were so exhausted that they collapsed on the ground.
