"How could I do that? How could a delicate girl like me do such a thing?" Chu Jiaojiao tilted her head and pressed her tongue against her cheek, looking exactly like a female hooligan.
When the three siblings met at the canteen that evening, Chu Jiaojiao shared with Xia Yiyang what Chu Xingyue had told her about what happened that night, and even packed some steamed buns to go after they finished eating.
Back in the dormitory, Xia Yiyang brought steamed buns for his roommates and briefly mentioned it to his three roommates, telling them to be more alert and restful tonight.
The easygoing Lu Tianxin and Lu Zehua didn't pay much attention.
Du Kangli remained silent, keeping a watchful eye on things.
"Jiaojiao, get up, the whistle has sounded. Hurry up and wash up, grab your belongings, and let's go."
Chu Xingyue opened her eyes upon hearing the whistle, got up quickly to tidy herself up, and didn't forget to wake Chu Jiaojiao.
Their dormitory building was a few minutes away from the assembly field. The two of them moved quickly and arrived at the field with their necessary military training bags on their backs. No one else had arrived yet. They were wearing short-sleeved training uniforms, whistles in their mouths, and looking at their watches with their arms raised. The two of them quickly took their positions.
After a few minutes, people started running over one after another. Some had their hats askew, some hadn't put their clothes on properly, some hadn't tied their shoelaces, and some had forgotten their packages. In short, there were all sorts of problems.
Chu Xingyue felt relieved when she saw Xia Yiyang running over in an orderly fashion in the line. She then saw his roommates running over and joining the line one after another.
It was complete chaos. Aside from a few alert freshmen who were a few minutes late, the rest were so far behind that even the instructors at the front couldn't bear to look at them. "I really didn't expect our freshmen to be this bad. The assembly time is 10 minutes, which isn't a short time for you freshmen, but..." The instructor, with his hands behind his back, paused for two seconds. "I noticed some people haven't arrived yet. Now, everyone who's not properly dressed, you have two minutes to tidy yourselves up, including your belongings."
"As for those who haven't arrived yet, if they haven't come within 5 minutes of the whistle sounding, then I don't need such people in my unit."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Weren't those who didn't participate in the timely military training supposed to be expelled? A low voice rose from the crowd.
"What, you're not convinced?"
"If anyone feels dissatisfied, they can stand up and speak up."
Gradually, the sound faded away. Everyone on the playground waited under the moonlight for the five minutes to pass. The moment the whistle blew, some ran over within the five minutes, while others remained silent.
But this is no longer within everyone's consideration.
"Five minutes are up. If you haven't come yet, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Whether you stay at school or not depends on your own abilities. Now everyone, put on your backpacks and hike 5 kilometers. If you reach the designated location in one hour, a car will be waiting for you. If you don't arrive, I'm sorry, there's no room for you in the car, so please go back to where you came from. All the interpretation rights are mine."
"Everyone, turn left and run!"
At the command, everyone, whether prepared or half-asleep, started running with the team.
Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao were a little ahead of the group. They deliberately ran a bit slower to wait for Xia Yiyang to join them. There was some moonlight in the sky, and the sound of frogs croaking in the river by the roadside could be heard.
Such brightness posed no problem for the two who had grown up in the mountains. Gradually, Xia Yiyang caught up with them, followed by his three roommates. The three of them were truly impressed by Chu Xingyue. She had even guessed their current location. Following a smart person would save them from taking unnecessary detours.
