Chapter 302 It would be best if we never had to go back...
Shen Xuewei and Huang Xin are about the same height and are in the same row.
At this time, I was able to relax and rest briefly, sitting in the shade. My face and neck were tanned two shades darker in just a few days.
She picked up her water glass and gulped down two big mouthfuls. Holding the glass, she sat down next to Shen Xuewei and noticed that Shen Xuewei's skin had only gotten a little tanned, which made her somewhat envious.
"Weiwei, we're all out in the sun, but you don't seem to have gotten much of a tan."
Shen Xuewei patted her aching thighs and casually said:
"Apply sunscreen, apply a thick layer."
Huang Xin touched her face, which was burning hot from the sun, and said in a mournful tone.
"Applying sunscreen doesn't seem to help much."
Shen Xuewei raised her head, looked at her face, and lightly brushed her face with the tip of her index finger, instantly scraping off a layer of putty.
"You didn't apply your sunscreen properly, or it's not very effective. It's almost all come off."
"ah?"
Huang Xin exclaimed in surprise and quickly took out a small mirror from her pocket to look at herself.
"Oh dear, it's true. I just randomly bought this sunscreen at the mall, I didn't expect it to be so bad..."
She grumbled and complained as she wiped the grime off her face with her sleeve.
"By the way, did you bring sunscreen? Can I use some?"
During her days off, she occasionally saw Shen Xuewei reapplying sunscreen, so she should be carrying some with her now.
Shen Xuewei reached into her pocket and took out a bottle of sunscreen for Huang Xin.
"Give."
This sunscreen was originally bought for her by Chen Fanglan. She liked it and has been using it ever since, for several years now.
Children's sunscreen may not be as effective as adult sunscreen, but it has a light and non-greasy texture, forms a film quickly, and does not leave a white cast, making it great for daily use.
During military training, you should carry a bottle with you and reapply it whenever you have a spare moment.
Huang Xin took it and also noticed the words on it.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Dairong... how come this is children's sunscreen?"
Shen Xuewei, who always told her roommates she was seventeen but hadn't actually turned sixteen yet, paused for a moment and said somewhat angrily:
"Whatever kind of sunscreen it is, whether you use it or not, if you don't, give it back to me."
"Yes, yes, I didn't say I wouldn't, I was just saying it."
What I'm saying is still the truth.
Huang Xin poured some into her palm and then applied it to her face in front of the mirror.
"You know what, it does feel quite refreshing..."
Just as Shen Xuewei brought the sunscreen back, a hand reached out from the side.
Shen Xuewei looked at the owner of the hand, and Lu Jiayi smiled at her shyly.
"Weiwei, can I borrow yours too? My sunscreen has all worn off."
Lu Jiayi was reluctant to spend money on sunscreen, so she used Huang Xin's sunscreen every day.
Seeing that Huang Xin's sunscreen wasn't working well, and noticing that Huang Xin was asking Shen Xuewei for sunscreen, they decided to ask Shen Xuewei for one too.
Shen Xuewei handed the sunscreen to her directly, saying, "Keep this bottle; you and Huang Xin can use it together later."
This children's sunscreen is a product made by a small brand called Dairong.
This brand has been around for over twenty years, but it's not very well-known and is only available in Italy.
Chen Fanglan had previously bought the other party's ancient formula duck egg powder and thought it had a good setting effect. Later, when she made a repurchase, she found that the other party also sold children's sunscreen, so she bought a bottle for Shen Xuewei.
Shen Xuewei found it useful and has been using this sunscreen ever since.
Dai Rong's products are basically unavailable outside of Yizhou City, so Shen Xuewei bought several bottles locally before setting off, enough for her to use for a long time.
Lu Jiayi thanked Shen Xuewei and returned to her seat to apply sunscreen.
After resting for a while, everyone sprang to attention at the instructor's command to "assemble," and they quickly gathered as if startled birds.
After another series of marching, running, and squatting exercises, everyone stood under the blazing sun. Huang Xin, who was already struggling to keep up, suddenly collapsed on the spot, her legs trembled, her eyes closed, and she fainted.
Lu Jiayi, who had been secretly observing for a long time, immediately shouted:
"Instructor, Huang Xin has fainted!"
"He fainted?" The dark-skinned instructor walked closer and found that he had indeed fainted.
He scanned the group, looking for someone to take Huang Xin to the infirmary.
Seeing this, Lu Jiayi quickly raised her hand and shouted:
“Reporting to the instructor, she is my roommate and we get along well. I can take her to the infirmary.”
Being too proactive made the instructors not want her to take Huang Xin there.
"You? You better do your movements properly. Out of all the students in the class, you're the only one who moves with the same hand and foot. Correct yourself right now."
There are 39 students in Class 2 of Chinese Language and Literature. Lu Jiayi is considered to have good physical strength among the girls in the class.
However, she was not very coordinated. When she was marching, she could never correct her habit of moving her hands and feet together. She was often used as a negative example by the instructors, who would also give her extra tutoring from time to time.
The instructor's gaze shifted and landed on Shen Xuewei, who stood ramrod straight beside Huang Xin, like a pole.
"Shen Xuewei, take Huang Xin to the infirmary."
Shen Xuewei kept her eyes straight ahead and replied, "Yes, instructor."
However, faced with this unexpected windfall, I was instantly overjoyed.
She squatted down, put Huang Xin's arm on her shoulder, and helped her up.
...The portion is a bit heavy.
"Shen Xuewei, is this okay?"
Shen Xuewei mustered all her strength and shouted out a single word in a firm and powerful voice, "Okay!"
In situations like this, you have to make it work, even if it seems impossible.
She simply used all her strength to carry Huang Xin on her back and headed towards the infirmary.
Seeing that she was alright, the instructor turned his attention back to her.
"Rest where you are."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they could finally rest.
Only Lu Jiayi felt something was amiss.
"Lu Jiayi, come here!"
Lu Jiayi was on the verge of tears; she really didn't like this kind of special treatment.
On the other side, Shen Xuewei couldn't go any further after walking halfway, so she stopped two senior students who were walking together.
"Seniors, my classmate has fainted. Could you please help me take her to the infirmary?"
Without the slightest hesitation, the two senior students accepted the large red banknote handed to them by Shen Xuewei.
"We'll help! We'll definitely help you with this!"
With the help of the two, Shen Xuewei felt much more at ease and quickly took Huang Xin to the infirmary.
When Huang Xin woke up, she found herself lying in the infirmary, where the air conditioning made her sigh with comfort.
Shen Xuewei sat to the side and handed her a glass of lightly salted water when she woke up.
"You're awake? You collapsed from exhaustion and heatstroke earlier. We're in the infirmary now. How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"
Huang Xin pouted, "I don't think it's good, I don't want to do military training..."
Shen Xuewei knew that she was very vulnerable at the moment, so her tone was very gentle.
"Honey, don't think too much. Drink this lightly salted water first; it's good for your health."
After drinking it, Huang Xin thought about the hardships of the past few days of military training, and tears streamed down her face.
"I miss my parents, I want to talk to them..."
She accidentally fell during training the day before yesterday and broke her phone. She hasn't been able to call her parents for two whole days.
Shen Xuewei was enjoying the air conditioning in the infirmary, feeling great and not wanting to go back to military training at all; she just wanted to procrastinate as long as possible.
She took her phone out of her pocket and handed it to Huang Xin, "Here, lend me your phone. Call your parents, we'll go back later..."
It would be best if I never had to go back...
