Ning Yuan stared at the man in front of her, frozen in place, biting on a four-happiness meatball, at a loss for what to do.
All eyes turned to them—
After all, the chief instructor's speech at noon today was truly "impressive," not to mention that he was conspicuous from head to toe.
Rong Zhaonan, however, seemed oblivious to her strange and embarrassed expression, and said calmly, "Eat more."
As he spoke, he casually placed the perilla-flavored meat pie from his lunchbox into her bowl in full view of everyone.
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd, and the way people looked at Ning Yuan became strange and full of speculation.
Chu Hongyu's peach blossom eyes curved into a smile, her gaze shifting between Rong Zhaonan and Ning Yuan, and she chuckled softly, "Oh, Ningning, aren't you going to introduce your relationship with the head instructor?"
Why would someone you don't know share their homemade food with you? And even serve you food?
Fu Jen University's student cafeteria doesn't make perilla meat patties!
Ning Yuan could only barely swallow the four-happiness meatballs in her mouth, her gaze drifting: "That... me and him... are..."
She glared at Rong Zhaonan, "Damn it, what's our relationship? Why are you pulling this stunt?!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to answer, she gritted her teeth and blurted out, "He's my uncle..."
"I am her cousin," a clear and pleasant male voice followed.
Ning Yuan almost choked: "..."
Rong Gou, you scumbag, did you do this on purpose? I knew it, the testimonies wouldn't match, there would be a slip-up!
Yan Yangyang asked in bewilderment, "What exactly is your relationship? My cousin and uncle are not the same person."
Ning Yuan gritted her teeth. Yes, he's not a human being, he's a dog!
She knew he was about to start acting like a dog, and sure enough!
With a forced smile, Ning Yuan picked up a piece of perilla-flavored meat pie, just like she would pick up Rong Zhaonan's meat: "I haven't finished speaking yet. He's my uncle's son, so of course he's my cousin!!"
What exactly is Rong Gou trying to do?
The crowd was momentarily stunned. It turned out that the head instructor's cousin was also a freshman this year!
Rong Zhaonan watched Ning Yuan munching on the meat pie as if she were eating his flesh. Her round face was puffed up with anger. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Is it delicious? I made it myself."
Ning Yuan: "Hehe...Delicious!"
Shameless! Stop pretending! Do you think she can't taste the difference in Grandma Xia's cooking?
Rong Zhaonan could tell from Ning Yuan's expression that she was cursing him in her heart.
And the insults were... well, pretty vulgar.
He smiled cheerfully: "After the performance tonight, go home early so that Grandpa and the others don't worry."
Ning Yuan suppressed her anger and said irritably, "I know!"
Seeing the strange atmosphere between the two, Chu Hongyu's peach blossom eyes flickered, and she smiled sweetly: "If that's the case, why did Ningning say she didn't know the head instructor?"
Rong Zhaonan looked at Ning Yuan and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Don't we know each other?"
Ning Yuan didn't bother to look at him and kept eating her rice: "That's because he's going to be our head instructor. I don't want people to say that I'm taking advantage of his connections and not taking military training seriously!"
Rong Zhaonan said casually, "Don't worry, I won't show favoritism. The closer the family member is, the more they should be trained."
Ning Yuan paused with her chopsticks, her face expressionless: "..."
Damn it! Why did she feel there was something hidden in his words? She sensed two kinds of ill intent... one was settling personal scores, and the other was... utterly shameless.
It's probably just her imagination. A clean break is best; a future big shot wouldn't hold a grudge against a woman like her.
"The head instructor is truly impartial and incorruptible!" Yan Yangyang, who had already admired Rong Zhaonan's temperament and personality at noon, immediately looked at him with admiration.
Ning Yuan's lips twitched. An illusion, it was all just a bubble, an illusion!
Rong Zhaonan looked at Yan Yangyang and Chu Hongyu: "You two are Ning Yuan's roommates, thank you for your hard work."
Yan Yangyang immediately put his arm around Ning Yuan's shoulder and said, "That's right, don't worry, Chief Instructor, we will take care of Ning Ning."
Chu Hongyu's peach blossom eyes were still darting back and forth between Rong Zhaonan and Ning Yuan.
Tsk, the atmosphere between these cousins is really special, like a pair of young lovers having a tiff.
She smiled and said, "Ningning is the youngest in our dorm, so it's only right. Tonight there's a get-together with the second-year law students, and we'll make sure Ningning isn't bullied. Don't worry, cousin."
Ning Yuan almost choked: "Cough cough cough... A social event for law students?!"
How could she not know?
"I was going to tell you after rehearsal at noon, but you just ran off like a shot!" Yan Yangyang complained while shoveling food into her mouth.
Ning Yuan: "Okay."
While eating, Rong Zhaonan said casually, "The most important thing for students is to focus on their studies and build the Four Modernizations, and not to fall in love too early."
Ning Yuan blushed: "Cough cough cough..."
Rong Gou, how could you say such a thing?!
Have you forgotten what you did before, or am I remembering it wrong?!
Forget it! She often felt out of place with him because she wasn't shameless enough!
Chu Hongyu looked at Ning Yuan with a smile and teased, "Cousin, you're meddling too much, even more so than Ira's mother."
Rong Zhaonan served Ning Yuan some food and said slowly, "I've watched Ning Yuan grow up since she was little. Her mother doesn't have time to take care of her, does she?"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ning Yuan bit her chopsticks and squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth: "Yes!"
She kicked his shin under the table, unable to bear it any longer!
Enough is enough!
Rong Zhaonan paused, glanced at Ning Yuan, and nodded slightly to them: "Enjoy your meal, I have a meeting to attend to."
After saying that, he got up and left.
As Rong Zhaonan walked away, many female college students looked on with reluctance.
The crisp, masculine green of his military uniform and the hat made his features less gentle and more cold, which, combined with his upright posture, made him appear even more handsome and aloof.
As soon as he left, several girls around him came over and chatted enthusiastically with Ning Yuan under various pretexts.
Ning Yuan isn't stupid; she knows this is probably aimed at Rong Zhaonan.
She lowered her eyes and continued eating, feeling somewhat annoyed.
Forget it, what's it to her?
The performance celebrating National Day in the evening was very lively, with red flags waving and a strong sense of nostalgia.
Ning Yuan stood to the side, watching the large group of energetic classmates, and couldn't help but smile.
This was her first time participating in a university activity, and the feeling of being in university... it's so great!
"...Let's row our oars, the little boat pushes through the waves, the beautiful white pagoda is reflected on the sea, surrounded by green trees and red walls...a cool breeze blows in our face."
The youthful voices flew out of the auditorium and drifted into the star-studded night sky of 1979.
The National Day celebration for new students has come to a successful conclusion.
The second-year law students were waiting at the entrance of the auditorium early in the morning.
Seeing the junior female students enter, the boys all smiled brightly and waved to them—
"Hey economics junior, we've prepared lots of delicious food on the playground!"
Fudan University is a comprehensive university specializing in science and technology. Generally speaking, there are fewer female students and more male students in science and technology programs, so there are more wolves than sheep!
Among the freshmen of all departments this year, the Economics Department Class 1 has the most beautiful girls. When they were welcoming the freshmen, they had already made their sights set on them and decided to make their move first!
The girls in Class 1 of the Economics Department exchanged glances, their faces filled with shy yet expectant smiles, and followed their seniors to the school's sports field.
There was a spot on the playground where many candles had been lit early in the morning, along with plenty of fresh fruit and even... coffee, bread, and cream cakes.
Seeing Chu Hongyu, one of the prettiest girls, the second-year law students surrounded her even more enthusiastically, offering her cakes and fruit.
Chu Hongyu glanced at her, raised an eyebrow, and whispered in Ning Yuan's ear—
"The senior brothers really went all out, buying a lot of things from Gongtai Fruit Store on Huaihai Road and Harbin Food Factory. Ningning, don't be fooled by these little favors from the boys."
Ning Yuan nodded absentmindedly, thinking that even with Rong Da Lao's stunning beauty and figure, and his willingness to offer his virginity, he couldn't hook her.
Besides, these greenhorns!
As she munched on a cream cake, her big eyes darted around: "Hmm... Sis, do you know where our instructors live?"
However, she needs to find an opportunity to ask Rong Zhaonan what that bastard is up to!
