Chapter 709: Chapter 709
In the afternoon, the counselors from various departments organized lessons for their students, explaining the two-week military training set to start tomorrow.
The military training at Tsinghua wasn’t too strict, but describing it with just the word ’devilish’ was sufficient!
After the counselor had meticulously explained the military training procedures from previous years, the students were thoroughly forewarned and began to brace themselves for the hellish tomorrow!
In general, their edition of the military training was relatively normal.
There wasn’t any major national event occurring.
Because previously, in 2008, the Olympics were held in Beijing. Get full chapters from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩
The counselor told them that the students that year went to a military district for their training!
The conditions during that training were comparable to enlisting, so brutal that they couldn’t even shower!
Moreover, because it was the Olympics, firearms were banned. Therefore, the students that year had never even touched a gun...
The counselor used the cruel experiences of that year to contrast with this year’s relatively normal training.
After the counselor’s comparison, the students felt somewhat more at ease...
After all, they weren’t the worst off; everything was still manageable.
After the training session in the afternoon, Pu Sangzhi and her two new roommates went to have dinner together, while the less familiar roommate didn’t join them.
It wasn’t that they didn’t invite her, but that the roommate just disappeared after training...
The enigmatic behaviour of her made Pu Sangzhi and the other three girls quite speechless.
The dining hall was still bustling.
When Pu Sangzhi and her two roommates arrived at the dining hall, many of their male classmates were already queuing up.
The male students in the Civil Engineering Department all knew that Pu Sangzhi was the beauty of the Civil Engineering Department!
Even males not from the Civil Engineering Department knew that Pu Sangzhi was a beauty!
Beautiful girls have their advantages when they go out...
For example, when Pu Sangzhi and her two companions reached the dining hall, their classmate Sun Yifeng enthusiastically waved at them, "Pu student! Xinjiang girl!"
Minal didn’t know that boy, but knowing he had called her, she immediately waved back.
"This way, this way, come here!"
Sun Yifeng waved vigorously, even pulling the other boys beside him to start waving and extend an offer to cut in line.
The line was long, and seeing such enthusiasm from the others, Minal didn’t think twice before pulling Pu Sangzhi and Wei Zixuan over...
Minal greeted a few boys while nonchalantly positioning Pu Sangzhi and Wei Zixuan into the line.
The students in line behind didn’t say anything and just silently let them cut in.
This blatant line-cutting made Pu Sangzhi somewhat embarrassed...
"Xinjiang girl, Pu student, let’s eat together."
Sun Yifeng flashed them a brilliant smile, nervously touching his chest, "I haven’t introduced myself yet, I’m Sun Yifeng, also from the Civil Engineering Department. We’re in the same class. Oh, Pu student was the one who gave me directions this morning. Thank you, Pu student."
"Well, it’s rare that we get to eat with a beauty from our department. I’ll treat you," Sun Yifeng seized the opportunity, eager to show his attentiveness.
As he spoke, his eyes occasionally darted to Pu Sangzhi’s face, his intentions as clear as day!
"No need! No need to be so formal!"
Minal gestured dismissively.
"By the way, Xinjiang girl, what’s your name?" Sun Yifeng asked her.
"I’m Minal. Elisil. Just call me Minal!" Minal said, introducing herself with a big smile.
Afterwards, Sun Yifeng introduced a few of his roommates, giving Pu Sangzhi and her party a brief introduction.
Pu Sangzhi and Minal both were quite good-looking, and had obviously caught the attention of many in the department since the beginning of school, fueling the fantasies of a bunch of male students towards them.
Their roommate Wei Zixuan, although not unattractive, wasn’t particularly beautiful.
Possibly because both of her roommates were too good-looking, she was easily overlooked when standing beside them.
At this dinner, Pu Sangzhi ended up sitting at the same table with the boys, somehow forcefully having someone else’s meal...
Because Sun Yifeng forcibly swiped their meal cards, leaving no room for objection.
This situation made Pu Sangzhi feel uncomfortable.
She wasn’t someone who liked taking advantage of little things...
During the meal, Sun Yifeng boasted incessantly to them.
He told Pu Sangzhi and others that he lived in Beijing, and his parents were leaders in big companies with property in Beijing.
In other words, he indicated that he was a wealthy young master.
Moreover, he added Minal and Wei Zixuan on WeChat, and eventually, somewhat reluctantly, Pu Sangzhi added him too, feeling it would be impolite not to...
Halfway through the meal, Sun Yifeng browsed through Pu Sangzhi’s social circle.
He suddenly discovered that Pu Sangzhi’s social media was filled with posts about her boyfriend!
In that instant, Sun Yifeng’s pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints!
Encouraged, Sun Yifeng also mustered up the courage to ask, "Excuse me, do you... have a boyfriend?"
With that question, all the students at the table turned their eyes toward her all at once.
Both boys and girls stared at Pu Sangzhi in surprise and uncertainty!
Pu Sangzhi naturally did not deny it. "Hmm."
Sun Yifeng’s eyebrows crinkled instantly. In disbelief, he clasped his head and ran his hand through his hair...
Minal, equally shocked, exclaimed, "Sangzhi, you actually have a boyfriend! How old are you?"
With an unflustered smile, Pu Sangzhi briefly mentioned, "He was my high school classmate. We officially started dating over the summer vacation. I’ll introduce him to you guys when I get the chance."
Sun Yifeng’s face looked as distressed as if he were constipated. "Who is this guy, acting so quickly..."
Realizing that he was already behind in the race, Sun Yifeng no longer hid his feelings and bluntly exposed his impure heart with a single sentence.
Pu Sangzhi shook her head. "My boyfriend is great. None of you stand a chance."
She was also someone who spoke her mind...
With that statement, she completely shut the door on those pursuing her!
The fact that Pu Sangzhi already had a boyfriend was met with strong, inquisitive pressure from the two roommates!
After dinner, all the way back to the dorm, the two roommates kept asking about her boyfriend...
Everyone had just started their first year of college. How could she be so accomplished?
They hadn’t even met everyone yet, and she already had a boyfriend!
Thereafter, Pu Sangzhi frankly recounted her relationship with Huo Feng to them.
Wei Zixuan suddenly recalled a Tsinghua couple that had trended on social media during the summer holidays!
"Oh! I remember now! Shortly after the college entrance exam scores were released, a couple who vowed to get into Tsinghua together appeared on social media!"
Pointing at Pu Sangzhi with one finger, Wei Zixuan’s glasses nearly slid off her nose, "They said the boy was originally one of the worst students but studied hard for the girl to get into Tsinghua, and he managed it too! Oh! From Zhejiang Province! So, it was you and your boyfriend!"
This story did indeed trend on social media for a couple of days in June.
But that was only for two days...
Because, during that June, a celebrity drug scandal broke out in the entertainment industry, overshadowing this news.
Thus, the pair, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng, didn’t become famous for their fairy-tale love story.
Minal, unaware of this news, envied Pu Sangzhi for having such a great boyfriend...
"So your boyfriend is also at school, eh~ Will you bring him to meet us?" Minal asked Pu Sangzhi.
Of course, Pu Sangzhi would not refuse. "Sure. Let’s wait until after the military training."
Minal then asked, "Is your boyfriend handsome?"
Pu Sangzhi smiled and nodded, answering truly, "Handsome."
Wei Zixuan also asked, "Do you have any photos of him? I saw a picture in the news before, but it was a student ID photo, and it was blurry!"
Pu Sangzhi took out her phone and generously shared a photo of her and Huo Feng, "Look."
The two girls let out a moonstruck yell!
"He is really handsome..."
Excitedly pointing at the photo, Minal said, "He looks like that actor... Deng Lun! Very similar monolid!"
Wei Zixuan added, "Hey, this guy is so handsome, he could become a star..."
Hearing the girls praising Huo Feng’s looks, Pu Sangzhi felt proud but a bit protective.
She put away the phone, saying flatly, "That’s enough, no more looking. Wait until you have boyfriends, then I’ll introduce him to you. Lest you fall for him..."
"Hey... That’s too stingy!"
Just then, as the three of them chatted and walked, they reached the end of their path, approaching the dormitory...
Suddenly, outside the dormitory, the three of them noticed a standoffish girl standing shoulder to shoulder with a boy!
The three passed quietly by them...
Then, the standoffish girl noticed them too!
In that moment, the standoffish girl was shocked and her eyes widened!
