Chapter 1465: Chapter 1465
"Instructor, where should I stand?"
Seeing Wu Xiong had arranged everyone properly, except for himself who was still standing outside, Tang Ming couldn’t help but ask.
"You stand alone on the right side of the entire team. Change into military uniform in the afternoon, and when we practice marching, you’ll carry the flag."
Wu Xiong glanced at Tang Ming and commanded with a smile.
Tang Ming nodded, though somewhat confused, he could only follow orders.
Hearing this, many boys in the team were dissatisfied, especially Shao Wuyou, who almost choked with frustration.
Tang Ming was late and not in uniform, yet he got promoted.
Every team has only one flag bearer, which is a privilege for the best-performing male in the team. It’s a glory in freshmen military training, and it just fell into Tang Ming’s hands.
Running twenty laps, not to mention two hundred, would be worth it.
"Dismiss now, rest for two hours, meet in front of the Medical College entrance at 1:30 PM sharp."
Wu Xiong shouted and then turned and walked towards the distance.
"Oh my god, finally dismissed."
A group of people sat down sluggishly on the ground, starting to complain.
"We have to meet at 1:30, the hottest time."
"I feel like I’m getting heatstroke, help."
"Clothes soaked in sweat, stink to death."
"Alright, alright, everyone stop complaining. Military training is an important phase in university. You should cherish it, for it’s a unique valuable experience in life, just seven days. You should enjoy it."
Seeing the students complaining continuously, Zhang Mingli quickly stepped forward to comfort them.
The instructors’ duty is to toughen the students, while the counselors’ job is to soothe everyone’s bad mood.
As soon as the training ended, Tang Ming’s phone rang.
"Ugh ugh ugh, Tang Ming brother, help me, I want to go home."
After the call connected, Li Xiaoli’s crying voice came through.
Tang Ming hurriedly asked, "Is someone bullying you?"
"My legs hurt, and I’ve gotten a tan."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Tang Ming slightly frowned, turning to look at the girls sitting on the ground, indeed there were a few hugging and wiping tears.
These students were all pampered, yet now they were sunbaked all morning, and standing in military posture required keeping standard form without moving, which is a test of will power. How could these kids endure this hardship!
"Alright, alright, it’s just seven days, hold on and it will be over."
Tang Ming helplessly comforted, imagining how it would be for young ladies like Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli to undergo such training: "How’s Liu Mengting doing?"
"Meng Meng sister is also in bad shape, but she hasn’t cried, she’s holding on."
Li Xiaoli quickly explained.
"I’m dismissed too, let’s eat together, call your dormmates, and I’ll bring mine too."
Tang Ming thought for a moment, at times , he had to step up to smooth the two girls’ bad mood.
"Okay, we’ll meet at the first canteen’s hall."
Li Xiaoli quickly said.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Ming went with a grim face towards Shao Wuyou.
Sitting on the ground massaging his legs, Shao Wuyou saw Tang Ming approaching and instantly jumped up: "Hey, what’s up? I’m telling you, I didn’t trick you; you woke up too early this morning, I couldn’t notify you."
Hua Yingjie and Meng Xianjun quickly stood up to stop Tang Ming, worried that a fight might start.
"I didn’t say anything, why are you so nervous?"
Tang Ming disdainfully glanced at Shao Wuyou: "My classmates are waiting for me at the first canteen, are you coming or not."
"Go! I must see beauties!"
Meng Xianjun’s eyes lit up but then he regrettably shook his head: "Too bad my glasses broke, otherwise military training would be enjoyable. A bunch of sweaty beauties, just thinking is exciting."
"You don’t need to come then."
Tang Ming glared at Meng Xianjun, not understanding why he was so lewd.
Shao Wuyou uncertainly looked at Tang Ming.
"Suit yourself, just don’t mess around, I can’t be bothered with you."
Tang Ming faintly smiled, then suspiciously looked at Hua Yingjie: "Old Hua, why does your face look so bad? Are you injured?"
"Just a minor issue."
Hua Yingjie nonchalantly smiled.
Soon, Tang Ming met up with his dormmates and Liu Mengting’s group. Upon meeting, Meng Xianjun and Shao Wuyou were greatly disappointed.
"Old Meng, didn’t you say to see beauties? They all look quite ordinary."
Shao Wuyou looked discontentedly at Meng Xianjun: "But the figures are all good."
"I didn’t expect the beauties to be ravaged by military training so badly."
Meng Xianjun swallowed, helplessly looking at Liu Mengting’s group: "Faces are ruined, but the figures are still eye-catching."
At this moment, Liu Mengting’s group was all wearing military training uniforms, their faces full of sweat, except Wu Xiaoxia and Liu Junmei showed some signs of beauty, others were all a lost cause.
Liu Mengting, Li Xiaoli, Ma Jiaran, and Mu Zixin were all girls who loved beauty, they had all put on makeup in the morning hoping to maintain their beauty during training, but after standing all morning in the scorching sun, their faces were full of sweat. The makeup was smudged, and their hair was wet from wearing caps and sticking together, looking quite...
Only Wu Xiaoxia and Liu Junmei didn’t wear makeup, but their hair still looked miserable.
"Ahem, just my personal suggestion, during military training, don’t bother with beauty routines, everyone is dressed the same, you really can’t tell who looks good or bad, makeup just makes you look worse."
After everyone sat down, Tang Ming kindly reminded.
"Ugh, I’m already so ugly."
Li Xiaoli wiped her tears, "I don’t want to attend military training."
"This isn’t about wanting or not, all freshmen have to partake in military training, that’s the school rule."
Shao Wuyou earnestly explained, his eyes constantly scanning Liu Junmei and Wu Xiaoxia, only these two girls still resembled beauties.
Li Xiaoli looked puzzled at Shao Wuyou.
"He’s Shao Wuyou, also my roommate, just not quite on good terms with me."
Tang Ming truthfully introduced.
"No need to mention bad terms, no fighting no knowing, we’ll get along slowly later."
Shao Wuyou quickly corrected, although indeed not on good terms with Tang Ming, he wanted to maintain his image in front of the belles.
"Tang Ming, during this military training, let’s not meet."
Liu Mengting rubbed her face, gloomily said: "I don’t want you to see me looking this ugly."
"Yeah, yeah, I don’t want my ugly appearance to be seen by Tang Ming brother either."
Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly.
The others also lowered their heads to eat, all dissatisfied with their current looks, not even confident to speak.
"Don’t say that! Everyone looks during military training, you’re still better off. Tang Ming was late today, offended the instructor, and got punished to run twenty laps, he’s the most miserable."
Shao Wuyou immediately shouted.
