If the military training on the previous day just made them exhausted, then the military training on the second day made the students lose the energy to even speak.
Who wouldn't be scared when seeing a playground full of nets, ropes and mud?
The instructor put his hands behind his back, as if they had taken advantage. "When we were training before, those were all thorns with barbs. If you weren't careful, you'd get scratched. Okay, team one, go first."
Qin Baixue looked at the dirty puddle and complained bitterly: "It's over. I got up this morning to wash my hair and even sprayed some perfume, but it's all for nothing."
I had been thinking that if I didn’t sweat much today, I could just take a shower and go to sleep.
Other students also complained secretly.
"Oh no! I wore a pair of white socks today, and the short-sleeved shirt underneath was also white. How many times do I have to wash it to get it clean?"
"We're just here for military training, not actual combat on the battlefield. Is that so serious? If I had known, I would have gone to Furi. After all, their school only has a week of military training, and we can just sing songs and chat every day."
"Who says it's not true? This instructor is too strict. After all, I came to Peking University to earn some extra money. What's wrong with letting him off a little?"
“…”
Their voices were not small, and they even seemed to be deliberately being directed into the instructor's ears.
The next second, the instructor blew the whistle hanging around his neck, his expression extremely serious: "If you have the guts, shout it out loud. I can't hear you clearly from the chatter below."
The students below quickly stood still and dared not make any more noise.
"What do you think of military training? Just taking a walk with nothing to do, like kids going on a picnic? Running a few laps every day and thinking of resting? I tell you, the training will only get harder and harder from now on."
These students think that they have been admitted to the best university and can rest easy from now on.
In the future, there will be many setbacks and hardships in life. I can't even get through a simple military training, let alone anything else.
After crawling through the mud, I ran ten laps around the playground, facing the scorching sun, the mud and water completely dried and adhered to my skin.
Li Xiujun took a bath at night. Fortunately, her uncle had the foresight to bring her a few bath towels, so she managed to clean herself up.
After coming out, I distributed the rest to my roommates.
Sun Hongyan and the others, who were originally worried about how to rub it off, almost wanted to rush over and give her a big bear hug. Fortunately, they remembered the dirt on their bodies and stopped a step away.
Maybe it was because of yesterday’s preparation, but today I tossed and turned in bed for a long time and couldn’t fall asleep.
Sun Hongyan half-turned sideways and finally couldn't help but sigh.
"Yanzi, why haven't you slept yet?" Qin Baixue sat up with a swift movement, her eyebrows almost drooping to the ground. "This is not at all what I imagined college life to be like. Every day I feel like I've lost half my life."
Zhang Sufen was also very worried. She turned over and said, "I really want to go home. I don't know how my mother and sister are doing now. I have to plow the fields in a few days. Where can they find help?"
"Hey, what about Sufen's dad? Why did he let two women do farm work?"
"My father worked away from home to earn money for my sister and me's tuition, so the land at home was just sitting there. My mother thought it was a waste, so she did some farm work when she had nothing to do to supplement the family income."
Now the three of them were completely silent, and Qin Baixue stammered and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask about your family's private affairs. I didn't know this was happening."
Zhang Sufen said in a relaxed tone, not taking it to heart: "It's nothing, my family is not well off to begin with, but now I'm in college, I can do part-time jobs to reduce the burden on my family."
Others also agreed and talked about the specialties of their hometown.
While we were chatting happily, there was a sudden knock on the dormitory door: "Is Li Xiujun there? Is your number?"
It's almost half past nine. Who would call me so late?
Li Xiujun responded, quickly put on a coat and went out: "It might be my grandfather, you guys chat first, I'll be back soon."
Then she went downstairs. The dorm manager, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, saw her coming and wrote on the notebook: "Hurry up and play. The first three minutes are free. After that, it's five cents a minute."
"Okay, okay." Li Xiujun picked up the phone: "Hello, how are you?"
"Xiujun, it's me. I see you haven't contacted your family. You must have been in military training these days. How are you doing at Kyoto University? Is there anything you're missing? If so, I'll send it to you tomorrow."
"How are you getting along with your roommates? I asked around, and if there are special reasons, you can apply to live off campus on weekends. You might have to go to Uncle Li's place from time to time."
"I've seen the weather getting colder in the next few days. Remember to wear more clothes and be careful not to catch a cold."
Gu Qingming leaned against the windowsill, and a bunch of questions popped out of his mouth one after another unconsciously.
If it were anyone else, she might have hung up the phone impatiently without saying anything. But as she listened to the man's voice, the curve of her lips refused to drop.
After the other party had asked almost all the questions, he answered them one by one: "Nothing is missing. Uncle San helped to prepare everything. My roommates are all very nice. Uncle San, remember to wear more clothes."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them quietly listened to each other's breathing.
It was like whispering in her ear, causing her cheeks to slowly heat up and turn red.
The dorm aunt calculated the time and knocked on the table unceremoniously: "Two and a half minutes have passed. If you don't want to say anything, hang up immediately. There are several students who need to answer the phone later."
Li Xiujun hurriedly said to the other end of the phone: "Uncle San, let's talk again when we have time. I'm going back to rest first. You should go to bed early too. Good night——"
Hearing the beeping sound of the phone being hung up, Gu Qingming put down the receiver helplessly and shook his head.
I finally got a chance to contact the girl, but we were in a hurry and didn't chat for much.
He had planned to continue signing documents and attending meetings after the call. Thinking of her final instructions, Gu Qingming closed the pen cap, picked up the coat hanging on the leather chair, and prepared to go home.
As soon as she returned to bed, her roommates grabbed Li Xiujun and asked, "What's going on? Who called? We thought about it and realized that the hospital probably doesn't allow patients to call at this time. Could it be your boyfriend?"
The day before yesterday, during a long conversation among us all night, we got a general understanding of each other's family situation and learned that she had a grandfather who was hospitalized in a hospital.
"Don't talk nonsense. How can I have a boyfriend? It was my third uncle who called to ask about the school situation."
"Tsk." Sun Hongyan's hand, which had been tugging at the iron bar, instantly loosened its grip. "I even made a bet with them, saying the person who called must be someone special, but it turns out it was just that handsome Third Uncle."
"Okay, okay, I'll take care of breakfast for this week. Just tell me what you want to eat tomorrow."
