Chapter 9 "Put Her Down"
The two of them got closer, so close that they could count each other's eyelashes.
Meng Shiyi was almost pressed tightly against him, and could feel the man's strong forearm across her lower back. His presence was so strong that it was hard to ignore him.
Meng Shiyi's thighs felt weak. She shook her head good-naturedly and said in a muffled voice:
"I don't dislike you..."
A low, muffled laugh escaped from He Xilou's throat, making people's ears numb.
It wasn't until the two girls left that He Xilou picked her up and straightened her up.
He didn't expect Meng Shiyi's waist to be so thin, so thin that even when she was wearing a loose military training uniform, it could be held in one hand.
He Xilou picked up his hat from the ground, dusted it off, and put it on Meng Shiyi's head, teasing slowly:
"It's cute."
"..." Meng Shiyi said with a serious face, "I take back what I said before. You are a really bad person."
He is a bad boy who always bullies and teases her.
He Xilou took advantage of his height advantage and rubbed her head casually, coaxing her in a hoarse voice:
"Don't be angry, can I buy you a cup of milk tea?"
As soon as he said this, he was stunned. He couldn't believe that the three words "Don't be angry" actually came out of his mouth.
He had never coaxed anyone before, so he naturally thought that buying food was coaxing.
Meng Shiyi looks so obedient and soft that people inexplicably want to feed her and let her eat more.
He Xilou went to the nearby milk tea shop and bought a cup of Four Seasons Milk Tea with 50% sugar.
The sun sets in the west, and the golden-red afterglow covers the sky. The orange-red light sprinkles on the man's profile, like a cluster of burning flames, making him look even more charming.
He is as handsome as a painting.
Even the magnificent sunset was eclipsed.
Meng Shiyi was a little dazed and wondered if this was a dream.
Seeing that she was hesitant to answer, He Xilou raised his eyebrows, and a playful look welled up in his narrow eyes:
"Why, do you want me to feed you?"
He Xilou is a casual and dissolute person, always with a lazy attitude, as if he doesn't pay attention to or care about anything.
But this look is even more seductive and alluring.
Meng Shiyi's heart was pounding, and she didn't know where she got the courage from, but she nodded at him.
Why was He Xilou the only one who could tease her? She wanted to play with him too.
But He Xilou was not so easily fooled by others. He directly inserted the straw and fed her to her mouth, staring at her calmly:
"Drink it."
The distance between the two suddenly shortened.
Meng Shiyi's ears felt hot from being stared at, and she quickly took the milk tea with both hands.
He Xilou glanced at her and asked, "Don't you want me to feed you anymore?"
"...I don't want it anymore." Meng Shiyi couldn't help but shrink back, pretending to be calm, lowering her head to take a sip of milk tea.
The delicate and sweet taste flows into your mouth and spreads to your heart.
"Okay," He Xilou scoffed and patted her hat, "Let's go."
Meng Shiyi said "goodbye" obediently.
It wasn't until the man left in the dusk, his figure reduced to a tiny dot, that Meng Shiyi covered her beating heart and reluctantly walked towards the dormitory.
Hexi Tower.
I don't know when I'll see him again...
"Poetic baby! You're famous, you're famous!"
As soon as I arrived at the dormitory, Xu Qingqing rushed over and yelled excitedly.
She is from Northeast China and is very generous. She gave Meng Shiyi a chokehold hug and almost lifted her up high.
Meng Shiyi had a huge question mark on her head.
While applying the facial mask, Sheng Wan took out her phone and showed her the video:
"I took a photo during military training, and your face was posted on the school's official TikTok account. They probably thought you were pretty, so they posted a short solo video of you to attract traffic. I didn't expect the video to go viral, with tons of people praising your beauty!"
The girl on the screen was wearing a green camouflage uniform, her hair tied into a fishbone braid. Facing the sunlight, her black eyes were clear and clean, like a fresh and unworldly spring breeze.
Pure, elegant, and spotless.
The number of likes exceeded 1 million, and the comment section was full of drooling:
[Hiss, hiss, pretty girl, give me a bite~]
[Does this girl have a TikTok account? I fell in love with her at first sight!]
[Okay, okay, everyone else's military training looks like the heroine in an idol drama, but am I the only one who looks like an NPC in an anti-Japanese war film, so ugly that it looks like it's been bombarded?]
[Stop scolding me, stop scolding me. My military training photos back then were super ugly. My bangs were greased up like barcodes, and my best friend's bangs looked like cockroach whiskers...]
[Meibao is so beautiful! Even without makeup, she's a school beauty. Whose white moonlight is this? Whose secret admirer? Whose sweet first love? If I don't talk about it within a minute, I'll blow up the school.]
Xu Qingqing was inexplicably proud. Although the people in the video were not praising her, she was just happy for Shi Yi:
"A lot of people in the forum want to add your contact information now."
Sheng Wan pinched Meng Shiyi's cheek and said, "No wonder. Two men in the cafeteria added Shiyi's WeChat at noon today, saying they wanted to get to know her. They're quite handsome."
Unfortunately, Meng Shiyi politely rejected them all.
Xu Qingqing was curious: "Shiyi, have you ever been in love?"
Meng Shiyi shook her head: "No."
She couldn't talk about the person she liked.
What's more, when she was in school, she studied like crazy, like an obsession, trying her best to get into the Imperial University. She rarely even went online, let alone had a relationship.
"Ah, what a waste?" Xu Qingqing's face was full of regret.
"Oh, if I had a face like yours, I'd date as many handsome guys as a football team! I'd have a lot of sweet romances in college."
Sweet love...
Meng Shiyi couldn't imagine herself in love, and even less could she imagine He Xilou in love.
He seemed listless and had no interest in the world. Although there was a smile in his eyes from time to time, there was no warmth in his eyes.
Thinking of hugging his waist just now, Meng Shiyi covered her face again...
Military training life goes by quickly, and there are only a few days left before the end of the training.
The weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently. Just standing in the sun makes me gasp for breath, let alone marching in heavy military training uniforms.
The dogs shook their heads when they saw it.
The freshmen were so crazy that they prayed for rain, but not a drop of rain fell, and the sun became even more scorching.
Meng Shiyi went to the library to volunteer at noon. She was so tired from carrying a lot of books that she didn't even have time to eat lunch.
She was not in a good condition during the afternoon military training. She felt dizzy and shaky.
The female classmate next to her was a little worried and tugged at her clothes:
"Shiyi, your lips are turning pale. Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you ask the instructor for leave?"
Suddenly, a rough and loud male voice sounded behind him: "Ask for leave?"
When they looked back, they saw the chief instructor standing behind them, looking unhappy.
Meng Shiyi's formation was personally supervised by the chief instructor. He was incredibly strict, requiring all freshmen to run a thousand meters every day and then stand at attention afterward, which was much more tiring than the other formations.
The chief instructor had a stern face, raised his voice, and said sarcastically:
"Recently, there have been girls asking me for leave, either because of headaches or stomachaches. How come they can't even handle this little hardship? Women are just so pretentious!"
The female classmate rolled her eyes silently and wanted to curse.
He's really crazy! There are also many boys who ask for leave, why doesn't he say anything? He only picks on girls and generalizes.
Meng Shiyi wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue and comforted her gently:
"It's okay, it's almost over, I can still hold on for a while."
The girl nodded: "Okay, don't be so stubborn."
The sun is scorching, and we continue training after gathering.
Not long after, the girl heard a "bang" sound in her ear.
She turned around and saw Meng Shiyi lying on the ground, and immediately burst into screams.
The people around heard the sound and looked over, their faces instantly filled with worry.
"Instructor, let me take her to the infirmary!" A red-haired boy raised his hand actively.
The chief instructor nodded immediately and said succinctly, "Help her quickly. Everyone, rest here for a minute!"
When they heard about the break, the boys at the back collapsed as if their souls were drained out, and sat down directly on the ground:
"Fuck, Cheng Yu's reaction is really quick!"
"I'm so envious. He can get close to Meng Shiyi directly. I think he must have planned this for a long time. He always glances at her normally. Tsk tsk."
"Wow, if I had known earlier, I would have gone to help. The infirmary must have air conditioning, right? I don't want to train..."
Meng Shiyi did not completely lose consciousness. Her chest felt stuffy and one of her ears seemed to be blocked, so she could not hear clearly.
Cheng Yu helped her walk towards the path, where there were not many people.
"Shiyi, are you okay?"
Meng Shiyi did not respond.
Cheng Yu stared down at the girl beside him and rolled his Adam's apple.
The girl has porcelain-white and delicate skin, thick and curly eyelashes, and a few strands of hair hanging down. She is so beautiful and gentle that people can't take their eyes off her.
Ever since Meng Shiyi's video went viral, many boys in the class discussed her privately, saying that such a pure, well-behaved and gentle girl must be very comfortable to have sex with in bed.
Cheng Yu became increasingly agitated, with a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.
On campus, he naturally wouldn't dare do anything illegal, but holding hands or touching was still acceptable.
He slowed down and was about to hold hands with Meng Shiyi, interlocking their fingers.
A shadow suddenly descended from above.
When Cheng Yu looked up, he was caught off guard by a pair of cold and sharp eyes.
He Xilou stood in front of him, half of his face hidden in the shadows, exuding a strong aggression, like a dormant wolf, which made people shudder.
Cheng Yu froze in place for a moment, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet.
He Xilou leaned over him, with the oppressive aura of a top predator, speaking with each word in a sharp and forceful manner:
"Put her down."
