By the time Bai Yu and his three companions returned to the Ocean University Food Street, it was already dark.
Bai Yu first soaked the snails and razor clams in salt water with vinegar, using his washbasin. Given the temperature in Hainan Province, what man would use a basin to wash his face?
So Bai Yu felt no pressure at all about soaking seafood in a basin. He figured he could just wash the basin next time he needed to use it.
They ate dinner at a food street outside the school. They weren't very familiar with the area, so they just randomly picked a roadside stall and had dinner there.
However, Bai Yu and his friends were quite lucky. The food stall they randomly chose had a chef whose skills were surprisingly good; at the very least, the chef must have been a certified chef.
After dinner, Bai Yu and Wang Hai parted ways with Li Xue and Xia Jing.
Unlike Bai Yu and her companion, Li Xue and her companion had to go to their class tonight for assembly, since military training was starting tomorrow. As students in the same class, they should at least know who their advisor was and who else was in the class.
However, none of this concerns Bai Yu and Wang Hai. Their school year hasn't started yet. Although they have already registered at school, no one is going to bother them.
After dinner, they went back to their dormitory to rest.
The two brothers hadn't forgotten that Coach Li had asked them to meet at the playground tomorrow.
As soon as Bai Yu returned to his dormitory, he saw the empty desk under his bed. It was spotless, with not a single book on it and not even a speck of dust. He had just wiped it clean that afternoon.
"Ah Hai, what do you think about us buying two computers and installing them in our dorm? We can play games together whenever we have free time. What do you think?"
Bai Yu arrived at the dormitory, lay down on her bed, and began to imagine her four years of university life.
"Build a computer? Brother Yu, that's something only top students do. With our grades, isn't it a bit much for us to build a computer for gaming?"
Listening to what Bai Yu said, Wang Hai was somewhat tempted, but then he thought of the TV shows he had watched where college students installed computers in their dorm rooms, all for the purpose of studying.
Now Bai Yu says he wants to build a computer, but it's just for playing games? This makes him feel uneasy.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai had a heated discussion about this issue, but neither of them could convince the other.
Around 9 p.m., the two, tired from chatting, washed up, pulled the covers over their heads, and went to sleep!
The next morning.
Bai Yu opened her eyes as the reveille sounded.
"Damn it, I forgot that there was a reveille during military training. It's only six o'clock, how am I supposed to keep sleeping?"
Hearing the reveille outside the window, Bai Yu felt both a sense of familiarity and a feeling of helplessness.
He recognized the sound; his school had military training when he was in high school, which lasted for half a month. The morning reveille usually lasted for half an hour.
From the moment he woke up until after breakfast, it was only six o'clock in the morning, and although the sun was already quite strong outside, Bai Yu said he hadn't slept enough and wanted to continue sleeping.
In contrast to Bai Yu's waking up, Wang Hai, who was sleeping on the bed opposite him, made no sound at all. No matter how loud the reveille was outside the window, he couldn't be woken up.
Looking at Wang Hai, Bai Yu couldn't help but feel envious; Wang Hai's sleep quality was truly excellent.
Thinking this, Bai Yu pulled the blanket over her head, preparing to sleep a little longer.
Half-asleep, the reveille outside stopped, and after an unknown amount of time, Bai Yu's phone alarm went off.
Upon hearing this sound, Bai Yu immediately sat up in bed and looked to the side.
"Ah Hai, get up, it's already eight o'clock. Hurry up and wash up and have breakfast, we need to meet at the playground at nine o'clock."
To Bai Yu's surprise, Wang Hai was not on the opposite bed, nor was he seen anywhere else in the dormitory, which left Bai Yu somewhat confused.
Just then, his phone rang. Bai Yu picked it up and saw that it was Wang Hai calling.
"Hey, Ah Hai, where are you?"
"I'm buying food at the cafeteria, Brother Yu. I saw they sell dry noodles there. You really like dry noodles, right? Want me to buy you a serving? Do you want it spicy?"
"You went to the cafeteria? Why didn't you call me? Buy me a bowl of noodles, and remember to add a fried egg. Also, see if they sell pancakes, and bring me two. How long will it take you to be back?"
"It'll take about ten minutes. I'll ride my electric bike over here, and I'll be back in no time."
After telling Bai Yu what she wanted to eat, she hung up the phone.
To his surprise, Wang Hai got up really early today and went to the cafeteria before him. Most importantly, Bai Yu didn't notice at all.
After Bai Yu finished washing up and taking care of her personal hygiene, Wang Hai returned with the packed breakfast.
They devoured breakfast in a flash, then threw away their trash and headed towards the playground.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai took their meeting with the other members of the track and field team this morning quite seriously. They were dressed in sportswear and running shoes, and jogged all the way to the track.
The sports field at Ocean University was bustling with activity at this time. Every area of the field was filled with freshmen wearing camouflage uniforms, except for the running track, which was unoccupied.
For these freshmen, the first day of military training was undoubtedly tough, but it was also one of the few days during the training period with a relatively low training load.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai walked between the various formations, their sportswear making them stand out awkwardly among the freshmen.
Then, another group of people in sportswear came into their view, and Bai Yu and her companion immediately ran towards them.
"Hello, hello, I'd like to ask if any of you are on the track and field team?"
Looking at the people in front of him who were dressed similarly to them and were obviously athletes, Bai Yu asked the question he wanted to ask.
"Oh, Liu Ming from the track and field team, you're on the track and field team too? Are you new here?"
"Yes, Coach Li asked us to come here today. My name is Bai Yu, and his name is Wang Hai, a freshman at the Ocean College."
After introducing themselves, Bai Yu learned about the situation of the dozen or so sports students in front of him.
There were thirteen people in their group, but apart from Liu Ming, the other twelve were all freshmen. These were all students specially recruited by Ocean University this year. Bai Yu recognized a few of them, but did not know their names.
However, most of these people looked at Bai Yu and Wang Hai with hostility. Bai Yu and Wang Hai didn't remember them, but these people would never forget them.
As special admissions students, these people were basically recruited by Hainan University from Hainan Province. And among their peers, there was no one who didn't know Bai Yu and Wang Hai.
After all, as students with special talents, they had all represented their previous high schools in relevant provincial competitions, including provincial youth competitions, and so on.
It's normal for Bai Yu and Wang Hai to have no memory of the weak or defeated opponents, but for these people, Bai Yu and Wang Hai are unforgettable.
After all, Bai Yu and Wang Hai were stronger than them, and those two were their targets, the targets they were preparing to surpass.
Bai Yu had no interest in paying attention to these hostile looks; he was more curious about when Coach Li would arrive.
Just before nine o'clock, Coach Li finally arrived with a dozen or so people.
Coach Li and his dozen or so men were dressed similarly to Bai Yu and the others, making it clear that they were also athletes. It seemed like they were going to have a competition today.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai were already mentally prepared for this. After meeting Coach Li yesterday and hearing what he said, it was obvious that he wanted to see if Bai Yu and Wang Hai had neglected their training during the summer vacation.
"Wow, everyone's here! I like kids who are punctual. Good job!"
Coach Li approached and looked at Bai Yu and his group of new sports students. He was very satisfied that none of them were late.
"Let me introduce you newcomers. My surname is Li, and I am the coach of the track and field team at Ocean University. The man next to me is Hu Tao, and he is the captain of the track and field team."
The reason I called you here today is to see if you've slacked off in your training during the summer vacation. You need to understand that just because you were specially recruited by Ocean University doesn't mean you'll definitely be able to represent Ocean University in the competition.
In my opinion, I have always adhered to one principle: if you can do it, then you do it; if you can't, then go cool off somewhere else. Our track and field team doesn't want mediocre people.
The group of people behind me are also from the track and field team, which means that you are all competitors for next year's Universiade. Whoever is stronger will be the one I send to represent Ocean University of China in the competition.
So, to let you all get to know each other's strengths, let's have a little practice today. We have to put our skills to the test.
I think everyone agrees with my suggestion.
Coach Li looked at the fourteen new recruits in front of him, seemingly asking them a question, but actually giving them a notification.
And that was indeed the case; none of Bai Yu and the others dared to voice any objections. Bai Yu even raised an eyebrow at Hu Tao, the captain of the track and field team.
However, the latter completely ignored Bai Yu's facial expression, showing no intention of paying any attention to her.
When Coach Li called out the people who were running the 200 meters, Bai Yu immediately approached Hu Tao.
