Chapter 140 Military Training
Chapter 140 Military Training
Xu Mingyuan stuffed five hundred yuan into Tao Shuxin's bag, but she confiscated it and stuffed it back.
She said that if it was gone, she would ask him for it, which gave her an excuse to meet him.
After eating in the cafeteria for two days, Tao Shuxin herself discovered that she could eat very well with only ten yuan a day.
Nowadays, you can live very well with one thousand yuan, and you can be a wealthy woman with two thousand yuan.
This was definitely Xu Mingyuan's fault. Tao Shuxin's parents were afraid that he would cheat Tao Shuxin out of just a few hundred yuan, otherwise the girl would definitely have taken another 800 yuan for living expenses.
The welcome ceremony for freshmen was very boring. Everyone changed into camouflage uniforms and listened to speeches from leaders under the scorching sun for a whole morning. Then they were taken to training in the afternoon.
In the College of Arts, nearly 70% of the students are young girls who lacked exercise in high school. After standing in the sun for an hour, some of them turned pale, swayed, and were about to faint.
This gives the world history major some advantages, as the training intensity can be slightly lighter, and on average we can rest for five more minutes every hour.
This is already very good. Looking at the poor students studying engineering not far away, they have to take turns to fight for a shady spot. Even if the students from the College of Arts have complaints, they still persist.
There wasn't much going on during the military training, except that there were two boys in the class who, perhaps to show off their masculinity, refused to obey the instructor's instructions. But after being taught a lesson, they became more obedient.
There are only a few small episodes. The instructors would occasionally play small games with the students, or let them form a circle and perform a show, so as to bring the students closer together.
Xu Mingyuan didn't like to join in the fun, so when he was pulled up, he just told a bland joke and got away with it.
Tao Shuxin would occasionally come over during breaks to take a look around and chat with him.
The few girls in the class, even if they had a good impression of Xu Mingyuan, lost interest in getting closer to him when they saw the two of them flirting with each other all day long.
Tao Shuxin's appearance cannot be called the school belle, but she is definitely a strong contender for the department belle, and she has a great killing power on ordinary girls.
Because of his girlfriend, talking to Xu Mingyuan would not cause misunderstandings from others, and some girls in the class put aside their shyness as strangers and would come to chat with him.
Afterwards, the boys would join in the chat, making Xu Mingyuan the middleman who brought the classmates closer together.
There are many students majoring in Chinese Language and Literature, so Tao Shuxin was assigned to Class 2. Seeing that Xu Mingyuan was also taking a break, she jumped and waved at him from a distance.
Tao Shuxin originally thought that Xu Mingyuan would pretend not to see it, but when she saw him stand up and walk towards her, she panicked and secretly ran to the corner not far from the classroom and sat cross-legged. She took off her hat and fanned herself with the wind, waiting for him to come over with a blushing face.
Xu Mingyuan had been marching for the entire afternoon and was very tired. He came over to Tao Shuxin and sat down.
"Hey, don't you mind that the ground is dirty now?" Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.
"I don't have the conditions. The quality of the camouflage uniforms is not good. I just throw them away after wearing them. Look, my sleeves are all unraveling."
Tao Shuxin pulled down her rolled-up sleeves and showed him the small hole in them.
"Did you pull the thread again? Can't you just use a lighter to burn it?"
"How could I have a lighter? Who knew the clothes were of such poor quality..."
Tao Shuxin mumbled, picked up the bottle of mineral water beside her, twisted it open, and drank it in small sips. Seeing Xu Mingyuan open his clothes to fan himself, hesitantly asked, "You didn't bring any water, do you want some?"
Seeing the bottle of water handed over by Tao Shuxin, Xu Mingyuan did not reach out to take it.
Tao Shuxin, who was looking into the distance, felt more and more uncomfortable. She pushed him again and said angrily, "Oh, forget it, I won't drink it."
Only then did Xu Mingyuan snatch it away with a smile, and gulp down a big gulp.
"Leave some for me, this is all I have!"
Seeing that more than half of the bottle of water was gone in two seconds, Tao Shuxin, who was thirsty, wanted to reach out to grab it, but was afraid that he would choke, so her raised hand had to stop in mid-air.
"It's okay. I still have another bottle. I'll just take a sip and give it all to you." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Who wants to drink your water..."
Tao Shuxin took the bottle of water and drank the rest with a red face.
Xu Mingyuan found it funny. During the military training, the school would distribute mineral water, which she could not finish even if she died. The girl who was too concerned about her reputation was just making excuses again.
After complaining about how tiring it was to march, Tao Shuxin took out some sunscreen from her pocket and squeezed it onto the back of her hand.
"Give me your hand. I've squeezed too much and I'll give you some." When Xu Mingyuan stretched out his hand, he rubbed it with the smooth back of his hand, and then applied it to his slightly red forearm.
"Won't you help me apply it?"
"I'm so lazy! Just apply it yourself." Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes and muttered indignantly, "Why can't you get tanned?"
"It's dark, but not as obvious as you."
"Hmph, thick skin and flesh."
"You are delicate and tender?"
"Yes, of course."
"Really? Let me take a look."
As Xu Mingyuan spoke, he pulled her over and started kneading her little hands.
"Get up, get up, go to the side, there are so many people watching you!"
Tao Shuxin blushed and escaped from Xu Mingyuan's chest and moved to the side. Seeing her classmates pointing at the two of them with a smile, she pinched him angrily.
Tao Shuxin continued to apply sunscreen, carefully smearing it evenly on her face and neck, and then rubbed it randomly on Xu Mingyuan's face.
"Let's go, it's time to gather!"
He tilted his body, pushed Xu Mingyuan aside, and quickly stood up.
"Pull me, my waist hurts."
"Why are you pretending? Can't you get up on your own?"
Tao Shuxin complained, but still stretched out her hand.
After being pulled by Xu Mingyuan and staggering, Tao Shuxin knew that he was doing something bad again. She kicked him on the calf angrily and ran back to sit among the crowd in the classroom.
There was nothing wrong with Tao Shuxin. They were all little girls and wouldn't tease her too much.
But Xu Mingyuan was in a miserable situation. Before he could even walk back to the classroom, a burst of booing started.
"Fuck, isn't this Brother Yuan? Why are you back? Go and join the Chinese Language School as a transfer student. The girls there are so pretty."
Zeng Ruilin, who was in the same dormitory, made a sarcastic remark.
"You mean we girls are not good-looking, right?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"That's not what I meant."
Seeing that some girls in the class were looking at him, Zeng Ruilin hurriedly explained.
He was a little panicked, but when he saw that he had attracted attention, he shook his legs to act cool.
"Okay, then tell me which girl in our class is the prettiest."
"This one……"
Zeng Ruilin looked around and didn't dare to answer this difficult question in public.
"Xiao Linzi, didn't you say in the dormitory last night that Zhou Rui in our class was the most beautiful? Why are you silent now?"
Wu Chao didn't give him any face. It was this brat who instigated him to call out to the instructor last time. He took the lead, but Zeng Ruilin pretended not to see anything and forced him to run ten laps around the playground.
It was quite embarrassing to make private words public, and Zeng Ruilin's face turned red on the spot.
The instructor saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he said to Xu Mingyuan, "Come here. Did I say dismiss? Come here and do 50 push-ups. Count them, no one less, or he can go pick up girls again!"
Amidst the laughter and cheering, Xu Mingyuan smiled helplessly, propped his hands on the ground, and demonstrated to these soft liberal arts students what waist and abdomen strength is...
