……
Sure enough, as soon as I returned to the dormitory after dinner, my phone rang. I don't know when, the class group has been established. The instructor has sent a notice in the group about the military training for freshmen next week. What is coming has finally come.
"Help! I don't want to go to military training!" Bu Miaojin lay on the bed with her head buried in the pillow, her legs swinging like she was swimming.
"It's no use shouting your throat out here." Shu Ying complained as she tidied up her desk.
"I'm having my period." Bu Miaojin raised her head and said with a frown.
"Oh, you'll be here for two weeks?" Shu Ying teased.
"Li Xiaomeng, save me!" Bu Miaojin turned and looked at me.
"Ha, there's nothing I can do about it!" I laughed out loud. Bu Miaojin's nonsensical personality is quite funny, and she really livens up the atmosphere in the dormitory.
"But, I heard that the instructors are all very handsome~" I winked at her.
"Really?" She immediately perked up when she heard me say that.
"Really? The soldiers are so handsome, with well-developed muscles." I painted a rosy picture for her.
"Then I must participate in military training! As a front-line soldier."
"Tsk~~" Shu Ying rolled her eyes at her.
"Don't listen to what Li Xiaomeng said. Instructors are strictly prohibited from falling in love with students. Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes and ask the instructor for contact information like a fangirl. If you get criticized, don't say I didn't remind you." Tan Simin reminded.
"Do I want to have a romantic relationship with the instructor? Can't I just look at some handsome guys to satisfy my eyes?" Bu Miaojin replied angrily, "I feel like you are insulting my personality."
"Okay, Miss, isn't it okay for me to apologize to you?" Tan Simin was helpless with her.
Chapter 2 University Military Training ()
A week later, just as we were getting used to the rhythm of university classes, the instructors showed up on our campus in military pickup trucks.
What is supposed to come will eventually come.
The quality of the military training uniforms issued by the university is not necessarily better than that of the high school. The texture is very hard, and the weather is hot, so you can't wear more clothes inside, which causes the skin and fabric to rub against each other.
We lined up on the playground and soon our instructor arrived. He was a soldier about 1.75 meters tall. His uniform looked much better than ours. It was straight on him without many wrinkles.
"Hello, classmates!" Contrary to his tough appearance and young face, his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, which seemed not to be the voice of a person of his age. It was like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child suddenly speaking with a puff of smoke, a contrasting feeling.
"Hello, instructor!" We responded to him collectively.
"From today, we will start a two-week military training. It will be very hard and tiring. Do you have the confidence to persevere?"
"Have!!"
"can not hear."
"have!!!"
"Okay! Let me introduce myself. My last name is Ma, and my name is Ma Wenbin. You can call me Instructor Ma from now on. If there is any situation, please report to me. Do you understand?"
"understand!"
After Instructor Ma introduced himself, he led the students to form a square formation. Since there were only 4 students in our class, the square formation could only be formed into 10 rows of people.
"Student, yes, you. Step out of line." Instructor Ma glanced at the entire class, suddenly stared at me, and called me out of line.
"Here." Why did they ask me to do that? But I had no choice but to step out.
"I think this student is very suitable to be the class leader, and he won't bring shame to our class. What do you think?"
"Okay!" "No problem!" The boys have already started to make a noise.
"What's your name?" he asked me.
"Reporting to the instructor, this is Li Xiaomeng." I answered with gritted teeth. I knew it was not a good thing.
"Okay. Li Xiaomeng, as the team leader, your military training will be stricter and more demanding than others. Do you have the confidence to complete this mission?"
"Report to the instructor, yes." What can I do? Say no? How is that possible? This is being forced into a desperate situation, there is no turning back.
"Very good, women are just as good as men. Our first lesson this morning is about dressing and grooming." The instructor turned to the students and looked at them maliciously, "Let me see, how many boys have long hair?"
Five minutes later, ten boys were pulled out, all of them had long hair.
"These students seem to have the potential to wear braids," Instructor Ma said with a smile, "Cut their hair short before reporting tomorrow morning."
"Return to the ranks!"
"Yes."
"Next, let's talk about your clothes." Instructor Ma once again glanced at the students around him and said, "Before that, do you know why I asked Li Xiaomeng to be your leader?"
No one in the class said a word.
"You, speak boldly and say what's on your mind." He randomly pointed to a boy.
The boy who was called out came out shyly: "Is it because I'm pretty?"
"Do you all think so?" Instructor Ma asked.
Most of the students nodded.
"Okay, I'll tell you why." Instructor Ma walked up to me, pointed at my outfit and said, "She's the only one among you who's dressed the most standard."
"Look, all the buttons on her clothes are neatly fastened, the belt is tied around her waist, and the knot is also a correct bow. The epaulettes are not reversed, they are worn in the correct position, and the military cap is also worn straight. Look at yourselves, which classmate is dressed more standardly than Li Xiaomeng? If there is, please come out and compare."
The students looked down at themselves and fell silent. I dressed well, mainly because I had the advantage of experience. After all, this was my second time. The first time I was a boy, I was criticized for dressing like a gangster, so how could I not be careful the second time?
I just didn't expect that too much is as bad as too little. If you dress too well, you will not only be praised, but also be assigned important tasks.
"Okay, now the correct example is right in front of you. Follow her template. I'll give you five minutes to dress properly. After five minutes, I'll check. If I find any inappropriateness, you will have to do five push-ups on the spot."
Before the instructor finished speaking, the students started to move. Instructor Ma raised his voice: "Hey? Hey? What's the matter? I haven't even said start yet, and you guys are running ahead?"
Seeing that everyone had stopped, Instructor Ma nodded with satisfaction: "Begin!"
Bu Miaojin was right in front of me just now. This girl moved very quickly and had almost finished tidying up in no time. However, she didn't notice that the last button in front of her collar was not fastened yet.
After she checked her clothes and hat, she looked at me and smiled foolishly, as if saying how great I was for having done it so quickly.
I looked at her, shook my head gently, and pointed to my collar, motioning her to check again. She saw my signal and reacted quickly enough to find the problem and buttoned the last button.
Five minutes is neither too short nor too long, but for me standing in front of my classmates in a daze, it seemed a little boring. Apart from checking whether my roommates had tidied up, I didn't care about anything else.
My eyes couldn't stand the loneliness and I started looking for Tang Xin on the playground. But it was not easy to find her in this huge group of freshmen, especially when everyone changed into camouflage uniforms and looked the same. In addition, my eyesight was not very good, so after searching for a while, I returned empty-handed.
Five minutes later, the clothes were sorted. Everyone's execution was pretty good. After all, they were all college students, so the clothes were not badly sorted. Instructor Ma did not find any faults, and he was also a little surprised.
"The students performed well and left me a good initial impression. I will rest here for ten minutes. If you need to go to the bathroom, please go quickly. In ten minutes, we will start the second class of this morning." Instructor Ma nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, signaling everyone to rest here.
Because they were resting on the spot, after the get out of class, the students had to get together and chat with each other.
"You're so awesome, Li Xiaomeng. Who taught you how to wear this dress?" Shu Ying sat next to me and put her hand on my shoulder like a boy.
Tan Simin also came over, "It looks like there is really a treasure in our dormitory~"
"Hello, what are you talking about? Add me in." I knew it was Bu Miaojin from the voice.
-
I have a severe headache recently. I feel a little uncomfortable and not in good condition.
Chapter 3: University Military Training ()
After a short break, Instructor Ma came back.
"gather!"
It took about a minute for the class to line up in an orderly manner.
He shook his head. "You're too slow. Next time I call for assembly, the whole class must be in place and lined up before I count to twenty. If you exceed one number, the whole class will do five push-ups together, and so on. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Although they said this, I could already see beads of sweat running down the cheeks of some of my classmates.
Although it is already mid-to-late September, the sun is still as scorching as in the dog days of summer. The temperature on the artificial turf playground has begun to rise sharply, and the wind that blows from time to time also brings scorching heat waves. The strength of the autumn tiger should not be underestimated.
"In the second class this morning, we will learn how to stand at attention. Li Xiaomeng, you will demonstrate to everyone the essentials of standing at attention."
"Report, understood." After simply answering him, I also walked in front of the whole class.
"Very good. Students, please watch carefully. First, your feet should be slightly separated, at an angle of about 60 degrees. Keep your legs straight and do not bend them. Keep your thumbs close to your index fingers, and your hands close to the sides of your thighs. Lift your chest, raise your head, tighten your abdomen, and look forward." Instructor Ma said as he appeared to instruct me until I got the position he was satisfied with.
"Very good, Li Xiaomeng's military posture is very standard. I shout "Stand at attention", all the students, follow your leader and stand at attention for ten minutes!"
"Everything is ready, take a rest~"
"stand at attention!"
With the sound of footsteps, everyone stood still with their heads held high.
"Good, keep it up. Remember, lean forward slightly, otherwise you'll get dizzy easily." Instructor Ma began to circle around Fang Zheng and examine everyone in the class.
In the hot weather, it was not easy for a freshman to stand at attention. After a few minutes, my face was covered with sweat. The sweat beads flowed down my forehead and cheeks. The most tormenting thing was that I couldn't wipe it off, because if I wiped the sweat with my hands, I would definitely be criticized by the instructor.
"You! Step out." Sure enough, just as I was thinking this, a boy couldn't help but wipe the sweat from the corner of his eyes with his hands.
"Why are you moving?"
"Report, there's sweat in my eyes." The boy was obviously lacking in confidence.
"No one else moved, why did you move?" Instructor Ma said angrily.
"I……"
"Okay, because of this student's behavior, the whole class will add 2 minutes to the time."
Many students were already feeling embarrassed and wanted to complain with gritted teeth, but they didn't dare to. If they made any noise, Instructor Ma would find trouble with them again.
A few minutes passed, and I was still standing like everyone else. In fact, I was exhausted. I stood for a few more minutes than them. My feet, which had not been exercised much, were numb. But I had to keep going for the sake of face. What is torture? This is torture. I swear that I will do more physical exercise in the future to improve my physical fitness, right?
However, what surprised me was that I saw a familiar figure passing by in my sideways vision. The long black hair made me feel very familiar. It was Tang Xin! Tang Xin seemed to have been called out to be the leader. At this moment, she was standing in front of me, about two classes away, acting as the leader.
After finding Tang Xin, he suddenly felt a lot more energetic, and the discomfort in his feet also decreased accordingly.
……
At 5:30 pm, the day's training was over. Everyone dispersed on the playground, and I faced a huge challenge. I didn't bring my phone, and Tang Xin certainly didn't bring her either. It was very difficult to find Tang Xin in the crowd that was dispersing in Brownian motion.
But obviously this kind of problem can't stump me. As soon as the instructor called for dismissal, I walked towards the direction I had determined before. I walked through the crowd of people in groups of three or four, and I saw Tang Xin walking towards me at the same time.
