Chapter 266: Chapter 266
Dong Minghui couldn’t help but confess; her reaction showed her guilty conscience at a glance.
Before she could say more, Liu Nan exclaimed, "Well, I thought it was strange. I mean, I have a good life; nothing goes my way. How come as soon as I enter university, everything goes wrong? Seems someone is intentionally stirring things up behind the scenes."
Ye Ling almost couldn’t hold back a laugh.
Liu Nan was finding fault out of nothing, even bringing up her good fortune, but Ye Ling thought it was vigorous. Watching them arguing together was quite satisfying, especially with Dong Minghui looking like she was about to eat someone; just imagine how angry she was.
Yang Hui also turned her head, holding back laughter, but joined in, "I wonder if my name was swapped. I think we should just look for the instructor. Where we live definitely has records. I’ve heard that’s how military schools work. It’s not like someone can live wherever they want."
"That’s right, let’s find the instructor now." Liu Nan noticed Dong Minghui’s sour face and added fuel to the fire.
Seeing that this matter was about to escalate again, Dong Minghui knew that she wouldn’t be the one in the right once they reached the instructor, so she couldn’t help but burst into tears. Crying at night, especially at her age, is besides guilty conscience or having no reason. Liu Nan was stunned for a moment, shrugged, and looked at Ye Ling to let her make the decision. Crying at such an age is really embarrassing, didn’t know earlier who seemed to have reason and was about to eat someone alive.
Seeing that Dong Minghui was now afraid, Ye Ling spared her, "In the future, keep your eyes open and stop thinking about picking on others all the time. Also, recognize where you are. Even if this were a courtyard, you can’t just do whatever you want."
That was enough not to pursue further.
Yang Hui also felt there was no need to make a big deal out of things, saying no more, but Liu Nan still expressed some regret, "Such a pity, otherwise I could have swapped back to the lower bunk."
Ye Ling couldn’t help but smile, and Liu Nan gave her a reproachful look, "Ye Ling, why didn’t you say something earlier? Forget it, let’s just give her this time."
Though the words carried some complaints, it was clear she wasn’t truly blaming Ye Ling. After all, everyone had just met, and Ye Ling couldn’t casually mention private bed swapping matters, lest she look like she was gossiping behind people’s backs. If Ye Ling had really done that, Liu Nan wouldn’t like her personality.
Ye Ling laughed after hearing Liu Nan, realizing that if Liu Nan truly resented her, she wouldn’t say it so directly. Apparently, she wasn’t really holding a grudge over it. Dong Minghui was crying nearby, Ye Ling and the three made her cry, but remained quiet. However, someone crying in the middle of the night brought back the instructor who had left.
After asking what was going on, Liu Nan responded briskly, "Report, we don’t know."
Guo Min glanced seriously around the room. Besides Ye Ling and Yang Hui standing up, Ma Yue was lying on the bed turned away, wasn’t clear if she was asleep, Dong Minghui wiped away tears after she came in and quieted down, and finally opened her mouth lightly, "It’s late. Everyone sleep early. Tomorrow, change into training uniforms for military training."
"Yes." Liu Nan answered crisply and laughed after they left, directed at Ye Ling and Yang Hui. The most update n0vels are published on novel※fire.net
Dong Minghui, although no longer crying, kept wiping her tears. The first day of school she was bullied by the three in the dormitory, knowing it well that turning things around in four years of university wouldn’t be easy, especially when Ma Yue didn’t help her. This made Dong Minghui’s heart cold and increasingly aggrieved, not to mention, over the years, she always centered around Ma Yue, rushing forward for anything Ma Yue needed, ending up with Ma Yue ignoring her. How could it not make her despondent?
Causing such a ruckus, when they gathered at the training field, indeed only these five girls gathered early. The boys couldn’t help but cast glances over to them after last night’s events, Dong Minghui was very disheartened, appearing spiritless, Yang Hui thought it odd, often whispered with Liu Nan, Ye Ling occasionally inserted a few words, leaving Ma Yue naturally on the side, not looking happy either.
However, upon seeing the instructor coming along with the counselor, Ye Ling rubbed her eyes; their class had over a hundred people. Although strong training hadn’t started, after swearing in, there was some momentum, but surprisingly this instructor was Shen Bin.
"Students, our military training begins today; it’s the first step in our university life. During the month-long training, we need to overcome hardship and exhaustion to transition into university students." After saluting, Shen Bin glanced around at everyone.
Ye Ling hadn’t recovered from the shock before training started. They were divided into groups of five, and the five young girls happened to form a group, training under the blazing sun, on military stance and steps. Initially, everyone was full of energy, but by the end of the morning, even Liu Nan and Yang Hui were too tired to speak.
Without time to rest, Zhao Guodong and others pulled Ye Ling aside, "Hey, how come it’s Instructor Shen?"
Even if he was skilled, coming from Beijing shouldn’t make him come here, right?
"I heard he’s studying for school, could it just conveniently bring him here?" Ye Ling felt unlucky; no matter where she went she couldn’t avoid Shen Bin.
Zhao Guodong nodded, at least Ye Ling’s explanation made sense. It was time for lunch, and there wasn’t much time to talk, so Zhao Guodong headed off with Zhang Linong and others.
After Zhao Guodong left, Liu Nan asked Ye Ling, "You know Instructor Shen?"
"Yeah, he works at the same company as my dad." Though Ye Ling and Shen Bin weren’t close, she didn’t say much.
Yang Hui leaned in as if hanging on for dear life, "Since you know him, can you pull some strings to ease the training?"
Liu Nan also nodded eagerly.
Dong Minghui, walking past, scoffed, "Who does she think she is, trying for favors?"
Then dismissively shifted her gaze over the three, swaggering off with Ma Yue.
Liu Nan glared, "That person really is unlikable."
Ye Ling smiled, "Though she’s not likable, she is right—I can’t pull any strings with Instructor Shen. You’ve seen how fierce he looks; his gaze can eat people alive. I hardly ever talk to him."
"Ah, forget it, let’s tough it out. A month can be endured one way or another." Yang Hui lost the excitement she showed on the first day.
All three laughed and chatted on their way to the cafeteria for lunch.
After a short rest post-lunch, the afternoon training began again. At night they assumed they could sleep well, only to be summoned urgently before dawn. Ye Ling didn’t know why, her usually untimely little aunt Flo suddenly arrived. (To be continued. If you work, you are welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets.
