Chapter 475 Wen Ni is Sick
"Uh-huh?"
The teasing tone on the other end made Wen Ni realize that every time she talked to him on the phone, it was either about work or business!
There's no way around it, she's just too career-oriented.
"Lu Jinye, I'm not very romantic."
“I’ve always known.”
"Won't it get boring after a while?" She tightened her grip on her phone.
"Won't."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Jinye chuckled softly, "In my dull life, your uninteresting nature seems much more interesting."
"..." Wen Ni was speechless. "Should I thank you? For appreciating my dullness?"
"I should thank you for entering my life without hesitation, giving me new hope in a life that I could see the end from the beginning." Lu Jinye opened the window and looked at the stars under the same sky.
"Hey, I'm getting goosebumps!"
Wen Ni felt a warmth in her heart, but it didn't stop her from being stubborn.
Lu Jinye smiled deeply, and after a long while asked, "Are you feeling any better?"
Wen Ni was taken aback. "Why do you ask that?"
“I can tell you’re very tired today,” he said.
"Hmm... One of the students fainted during military training, and I took her to the infirmary. I just got back to the dorm." Wen Ni rubbed her aching temples. "I guess I've been a bit stressed lately because I've been quite busy."
"Have you been busy until this late? Have you eaten?" Lu Jinye asked.
Wen Ni could imagine that his eyebrows must have been furrowed in worry on the other end of the phone!
"Instructor Chen bought us food, but I don't have much of an appetite. I'll wash up and go to bed later. I have to get up early tomorrow to continue training."
"Instructor Chen?" Lu Jinye paused, his voice tinged with doubt, before finally uttering, "A man?"
“Yes, Instructor Chen is the instructor in charge of the freshman military training for the finance class. I’m his assistant instructor.” Wen Ni’s fingers rested on the windowsill. “He’s from Hu Huai Ren’s unit, not a veteran. I’m guessing he’s a second lieutenant or first lieutenant.”
“I’m not interested in his rank.” Lu Jinye’s voice was indifferent. “I only care about your health. Don’t always think of yourself as an iron man.”
"Don't worry, my physical fitness is better than yours~" Wen Ni teased him, then turned around and sneezed.
"Stop bragging, go to sleep if you're tired." Lu Jinye's voice was deep.
"And what about you? What are you going to do next?"
"There will be a video conference with the European company later to discuss the next cooperation project."
"Lu Jinye, you're not made of iron either." Wen Ni's voice also became a little serious. "Without me by your side to supervise, you've started recklessly staying up all night to work overtime again?"
"It'll be over soon once this busy period is over." Lu Jinye breathed a sigh of relief, speaking in a tone as if coaxing a child. "I promise it will be over quickly, not too late. You can put your phone on silent. I'll send you a message before I go to sleep after the meeting, so you can see it when you wake up."
"Alright then," Wen Ni reluctantly agreed.
"good evening."
There were already rustling sounds coming from Lu Jinye's side.
Wen Ni even heard Bei Tuo and Xi Yun's movements.
There were many people, and the background was very noisy.
But that didn't stop her from hearing him whisper, "I love you."
“…I…” Wen Ni opened her mouth, but before a blush crept onto her cheeks, she blurted out as if her mouth was burning, “I miss you! Goodnight!”
After saying that, she deftly pressed the hang-up button and then silenced her phone.
"My face is burning hot, and my heart is beating so fast." She was puzzled herself. All that person said was enough to make her so excited. She took several deep breaths to calm herself down.
Lights out time! She returned to her dorm, and the entire building slowly drifted off to sleep.
Sunrise
It wasn't fully light yet when the alarm clock repeated itself for the third time before finally waking Wen Ni from her sleep!
She propped herself up and sat up, feeling as if she had been beaten up, both sore and exhausted!
A bad feeling made her raise her hand to touch her forehead; it was burning hot, like a hard-boiled egg…
"Tsk..."
Is this for real? Wen Ni roamed through the rainforest, sleeping in the wild in wet clothes and barely got sick, and now, after only a few days of military training, she's got a fever?
"Hey? Wen Ni? Why aren't you up yet?" Ma Weiwei had just finished washing up and came back from outside. Seeing Wen Ni still in the dormitory, she widened her eyes. "It's almost 8 o'clock. Don't you need to go to the assembly?"
"Yeah, I overslept."
Wen Ni threw off the covers, climbed out of bed, changed her clothes in a daze, stuffed two pieces of candy into her pocket, and headed straight for the dormitory door.
Ma Weiwei turned to watch Wen Ni slam the door and leave, shook her head speechlessly, and muttered, "She has absolutely no sense of time. I really don't know how she managed to serve in the army all these years..."
"Ma Weiwei!"
Mu Yang suddenly pushed open the dormitory door.
"Let's go! We don't have classes this morning. After lunch, let's take a walk in the stadium and watch the freshmen's military training!"
"...Wait for me to change my clothes."
Ma Weiwei agreed.
She closed the textbook on the table that she had prepared for reviewing.
Wen Ni will definitely be late today. How will the instructor punish her? Ma Weiwei is very curious about this.
The sky was bright.
All the freshmen undergoing military training have arrived at the stadium.
Instructors from each major stood at the front to count the number of students.
"Report!"
"Wen Ni?"
Instructor Chen turned around and saw the person approaching. She then checked the time and realized that the person was five minutes late for the scheduled assembly time.
"Why is your face so red?" He noticed something was off about her. "Are you sick?"
Otherwise, she would never have been late.
"I'm fine." Wen Ni stood straight, her cheeks flushed as if she had applied blush.
"..." Instructor Chen stared at her for three seconds, then sighed, "You stand behind me first."
"Instructor, Wen Fuxun is late!" a new recruit shouted. "Didn't you say you were going to train us to military standards? Then you should be fair in your rewards and punishments! You can't give anyone special treatment!"
"Yeah, I was late and I was punished with ten frog jumps. It was so embarrassing in front of so many people!" a girl whispered.
"She's a training assistant, she..."
Instructor Chen wanted to speak up for Wen Ni, but Wen Ni took a step forward instead.
“I am a training instructor, and I should set an example. Being late this morning was my own fault. You were punished with ten frog jumps, so I will double it to twenty.”
After she finished speaking, she had already assumed a pose, with her hands crossed behind her head.
"Wen Ni!" Instructor Chen exclaimed anxiously.
"Please help me count, Instructor Chen."
Without further ado, let's get started.
Unlike others who take shortcuts, her posture is very standard, which puts more pressure on her heart and consumes more of her physical energy!
Twenty frog jumps left Wen Ni, who was running a high fever, drenched in sweat in the cool breeze.
"nineteen!"
"twenty!"
After checking the last number, Instructor Chen clenched his fists.
The students in the line applauded loudly!
"As expected of Wen Fuxun!"
"Even when I'm not feeling well, I can still do frog jumps so steadily!"
"Too strong, too strong."
Their exclamations only fueled Instructor Chen's anger.
