Chapter 7 Yao Xin's younger brother
"We're still too late." The cafeteria, packed with people, didn't have a single empty seat.
Gu Zhaodi and Guan Xiang carried their trays around the cafeteria, but couldn't find a single empty seat.
Suddenly, Guan Xiang's eyes lit up, and she pointed in a direction, saying, "Zhao Zhao, let's go find Dan Si and the others."
Following the direction Guan Xiang pointed, they saw Dan Si and Yao Xin sitting in the corner. Perhaps because of Dan Si's reputation as a school bully, no one was sharing a table with them.
As she was thinking, she had already walked up to them. Without saying hello, Guan Xiang pulled Gu Zhaodi down to sit.
"Hello, Sister Guan. Hello, Sister Zhaodi." Yao Xin raised her head from her food and mumbled.
Dan Si, who was picking up food with his chopsticks, paused. What the heck is this? Zhao Di's younger sister?
"Why are you calling me 'little sister'? You're not even as old as Zhao Zhao." Guan Xiang glanced at Yao Xin across from her, her face full of mockery.
Yao Xin was bewildered. Wasn't that true? Gu Zhaodi wasn't even as tall as other girls her age.
Gu Zhaodi suppressed a laugh and said, "Little brother Yao Xin, I'm sixteen years old this year."
She found that after spending some time with Guan Xiang, she was now more talkative and cheerful, no longer as lifeless as before.
Guan Xiang couldn't hold back her laughter and burst out laughing. Even the usually carefree and lazy Dan Si raised the corners of his mouth.
......
After this little incident, the atmosphere at the meal became much better, and a consensus was reached that everyone should call Gu Zhaodi "Zhao Zhao," and no one should try to take advantage of her.
While eating, Guan Xiang asked someone, "Where did Fang Yuan go?"
The girl next to him was taken aback. Fang Yuan? Was he the other person who stood behind Dan Si that day?
Yao Xin curled her lip and said with a hint of envy, "He's just a womanizer who forgets all principles and fawns over others."
"Oh, oh, oh."
"Are you a reincarnated starving ghost?" Dan Si said to Guan Xiang with disdain.
Guan Xiang was hardly a girl; she ate more than the average boy. After finishing her plate of rice, she even had her eye on the leftover rice that Gu Zhaodi couldn't finish.
"You're the one who's starving! I'm just hungry from training," Guan Xiang retorted, shoveling rice from Gu Zhaodi's bowl.
Seeing that she still wasn't full, Gu Zhaodi said softly, "Xiangxiang, let me go buy you another one."
The food stall over there hadn't been cleaned up yet, and she was worried that Guan Xiang wouldn't have enough to eat.
"No need, I'll be full after eating this," Guan Xiang said casually, taking a couple of sips of her drink.
Finally, Guan Xiang finished eating and even let out a satisfied burp. Almost everyone in the cafeteria had left.
Dan Si and Yao Xin bought two bottles of drinks and gave them to the two girls. Before leaving, they couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, "Don't ever say you know me again."
"Hey! If we don't know each other, we don't know each other." Guan Xiang drank the beverage he gave her, pursing her lips indifferently.
Gu Zhaodi was laughing so hard her stomach was about to hurt; Guan Xiang was just too cute.
"Xiangxiang, you're bound to be obliged when you eat someone's food, and you're bound to be obliged when you take someone's money. Haven't you heard the saying?" the girl asked with utmost sincerity.
"Okay, you've turned bad, you're laughing at me too."
In fact, Gu Zhaodi envied Guan Xiang for having so many good friends with whom she could laugh and joke.
Isn't this exactly what she wanted to have?
......
Gu Zhaodi didn't have it as good as in the morning during the afternoon military training. Not only was she sore all over, but the main problem was that she was walking with the wrong foot!
This was something she herself didn't know. Elementary and middle schools in Lin'an City didn't have military training, so naturally she didn't know that she was walking with her feet turned out the same way.
The instructor, with a dark expression, looked at the girl practicing diligently in front of him. He felt that her attitude and spirit were commendable, but he wondered if she could please stop walking with her feet turned out the wrong way.
While the others rested, the instructor decided to personally lead the girl through the walk.
"Grab these two sticks and follow me," the instructor said, looking down at the girl in front of him.
"Okay." The girl nodded obediently.
At first, Gu Zhaodi thought this method was really good, but as she walked, she felt that something was wrong.
Why is everything going more and more smoothly?
The students watching them train suddenly burst out laughing. The laughter was so loud it was almost unbearable, and they couldn't even catch their breath. Clearly, it wasn't laughing at Gu Zhaodi.
Because after Gu Zhaodi started walking with the wrong foot, she was laughed at by everyone until she became immune to it.
That's... the instructor?
He seems to have lost his footing too.
"I'm sorry, Instructor, I made you walk with the wrong step." Gu Zhaodi blinked her big eyes at him and sincerely apologized.
Looking at the girl's obedient appearance, the instructor sighed inwardly. He never thought that he would be led astray by his students. If his brothers found out, they would laugh at him to death.
"It's alright, you go and rest first." If it weren't for the fact that she's a girl, he would have definitely scolded her today and corrected her habit of walking with the same foot on the same side.
"Okay." Gu Zhaodi also wanted to get away from the instructor as soon as possible; he was too scary.
As soon as she approached, Guan Xiang leaned closer to her and whispered, "Is the instructor handsome?"
The sunlight was so bright that they couldn't open their eyes, and they couldn't really see what the instructor looked like, but he looked like a very handsome guy.
The girl squinted, took a sip of water, and slowly replied, "I couldn't see clearly."
This really piqued Guan Xiang's interest, only to be dismissed with a single sentence.
“Zhao Zhao…” Guan Xiang looked at the girl with a resentful expression.
"Okay, he is pretty handsome."
While Gu Zhaodi and the others were discussing quietly, Dan Si and the boys on the other side were laughing unrestrainedly, clearly indicating that the incident of the instructor walking with the wrong steps had not yet been forgotten.
Yao Xin burst into laughter, laughing so hard he was convulsing on the ground. "I'm dying of laughter! The instructor's footwork is off, hahaha!"
"This is a once-in-eight-hundred-years event!" Fang Yuan chimed in from the side.
"It's true, I've never seen him so disheveled. It seems he's still very skilled." Dan Si couldn't help but give the girl a thumbs up.
Just then, a shadow fell in front of Dan Si, and he looked up.
"Instructor, is there something you need?" Dan Si raised a fake smile.
"Dan Si, it seems I'll have to give you a good talking-to for your uncle." Xiao Han looked at Dan Si with a half-smile, and kicked his butt as he spoke. "You three get up and stand at attention for half an hour."
Dan Si, his face darkening, reluctantly got up, leaving Fang Yuan and Yao Xin standing under the blazing sun, watching their classmates sitting in the shade drinking water.
Xiao Han looked at the three people under the sun, a slight smile playing on his lips. "If I can't handle girls, can't I at least punish you?"
"Brother Dan, do you know this instructor?" Yao Xin asked the person next to him in a low voice.
"He is my uncle's good friend."
Dan Si felt utterly hopeless. How could this great devil have become his instructor? Shouldn't he be in the military camp?
The thought of the nightmares he had experienced during his training gave him a headache.
The military training time passed quickly, but Gu Zhaodi's habit of walking with her feet turned out one way was still not corrected. Even the instructor said that she was a tough nut to crack.
......
Night Bar
Nightshade Bar is a famous bar in Nan'an City. It is located in the best area of Nan'an City and has more than ten floors. The ground floor is a restaurant, the middle floor is a bar, and the upper floors are a hotel.
In a private room upstairs
"Third brother, why isn't the second brother here yet?" Shen Jiyang glanced at Dan Anwen, who was leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting.
The man slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "He's probably giving a report."
"Why would he become a high school military training instructor?" Hang Yan, the leader on the other side, asked in confusion.
"I don't know, it might be a mission." Shen Jiyang shook his head.
As they were talking, the door to the private room was pushed open, and looking up, they saw a long, straight, and powerful leg. Upon seeing the face, they could tell it was Gu Zhaodi and her instructor.
"Second brother, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you for a long time." Shen Jiyang walked over and grabbed his arm.
Xiao Han pulled his hand away in disgust and sat down next to Dan Anwen. "Today is the last day of military training. We need to do a summary, so I'm late."
"Come on, you should punish yourself with three cups first." Shen Jiyang moved the wine to Xiao Han's front.
Xiao Han raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "No drinking during the mission."
"I was right after all." Shen Jiyang said with a smug look on his face.
After exchanging a few casual words, Xiao Han glanced at Dan Anwen, who was sipping wine, and said, "I'm teaching your nephew's class now."
"Hmm." Dan Anwen responded calmly without any expression, her eyes still fixed on the red wine in her glass.
Looking at Dan Anwen, that old fox, Xiao Han really couldn't do anything about him. Among these brothers, Dan Anwen was the most suitable to be a soldier. He seemed gentle, but his moves were deadly.
“I punished your nephew.”
Dan Anwen raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. "Oh, what's wrong?"
When this topic came up, Xiao Han couldn't bring himself to say it. He couldn't very well say that he was led astray by a female student, and then his nephew mocked him, which is why he punished him.
You can't say that; it's a matter of saving face.
"I just don't like him," Xiao Han told a little lie.
Dan Anwen's lips curled into a smile. He saw through it but didn't say anything. As long as it wasn't something of principle, he didn't care.
"Fine, fine. It saves me the trouble of lifting a finger," the man said casually, taking a sip of red wine.
"My God, what kind of devilish uncle is this? Luckily, I'm not your nephew." Shen Jiyang exclaimed with lingering fear, patting his chest.
