Chapter 712: Chapter 712
The second day arrived, and military training officially began.
At seven in the morning, all the freshman students were spread out across the West University, East University, and Cercis Drill Ground on campus.
The entire freshman class consisted of roughly 3,300 individuals, divided into 4 battalions with about 800 people each, and each battalion had 8 companies. The specific allocation was still based on the department and class to which one belonged.
Pu Sangzhi, who was in the Civil Engineering Department with four classes, conducted military training in Purple Field with the freshmen from the computer science major.
Therefore, Pu Sangzhi saw Huo Feng early in the morning.
He was dressed in camouflage, lined up with the computer science classes, towering at over 1.8 meters in height and with outstanding looks, he dominated over other male students in the computer science major.
When Pu Sangzhi lined up and saw him in the morning, she was really startled by his figure in the military green camouflage!
In her heart, she thought that taking him to get his hair cut the day before was the right decision!
With that buzz cut and wearing a military green camouflage cap, how handsome he looked...
Huo Feng had also noticed Pu Sangzhi’s class entering, and after she walked by him, he tiptoed, trying to glimpse her from afar, silently paying attention to where she stood.
After all, they were not in the same class, and even though they were on the same drill ground, their positions were still too far apart.
Although he noticed where she was standing, Huo Feng could only vaguely see her silhouette, and it wasn’t a very clear one at that...
"Sigh... too far away..."
Huo Feng muttered to himself, sighing involuntarily.
The brooding man next to him sneakily glanced his way, which Huo Feng precisely caught out of the corner of his eye...
Huo Feng gave a sideways look, considering a glance at the brooding man next to him.
The brooding man immediately shifted his gaze forward, pretending he hadn’t been looking at Huo Feng.
Huo Feng didn’t say anything, just sighed again and continued to grumble, "Why are there only men around..."
From yesterday’s arrival at the university until now, Huo Feng had discovered an ironclad fact!
That was, around Pu Sangzhi... there were only men!
Although he already knew that the Civil Engineering Department was a major with a highly unbalanced gender ratio...
But when he actually saw it, his heart still felt unsettled!
"No wonder she was so keen on Tsinghua... This is practically a disguised boys’ school! Really... I’m glad I followed her..."
Huo Feng continued to grumble, completely immersed in his own world.
At this moment, the brooding man beside him silently listened to him, feeling a bit uneasy inside, sensing something was off...
But the brooding man couldn’t pin down what exactly was strange.
After a while, various instructors arrived.
So many instructors, each taking charge of a class, led the various classes to reassemble and reorganize their order on the Zijing Drill Ground.
And they divided the drill ground into several sections, considered their own territory, to facilitate the training of students over the next two weeks.
Each instructor was a real soldier sent from the troops, so what they brought was a set of strict training programs from the military.
Without exception... starting with jogging and warming up activities!
Military training, under the command to run 5 laps, fully unfolded...
During the morning, under the scorching sun, the students went through jogging, warming up exercises, and lineup drills.
The instructors were all strict, strict to the point of being devilish...
Basically, one had to freeze in a position for several tens of seconds, and anyone who wobbled a bit would be singled out for punishment.
This part was what Huo Feng felt was the most satisfying experience since he started at Tsinghua!
Because, the twin brothers were continuously called out for punishment several times this morning...
Later, when an instructor called out the older twin again, he couldn’t help but ask him, "Why are you such bad luck? I’ve caught you 5, 6 times this morning; are you intentionally challenging me?"
The twin brother shouted loudly, "I’ve only been called out 3 times. My brother has been called out 4 times! Please distinguish, Instructor!"
At this statement, the leading instructor raised an eyebrow and glanced into the ranks, "Where is your brother?"
Because today, the twins were not lined up in the same column but in different rows of different columns. So the instructor, being called out several times, had not realized... he was calling out two different people!
In the column over, the twin brother kept mum, not daring to make himself known.
"Where is his brother!"
The instructor shouted again into the ranks, with an intimidating force in his bellow.
Subsequently, the twin brother had no choice but to shout back, "Report! I’m here!"
"Come out!" ordered the instructor.
Quickly, the twin brother jogged out from the formation.
The class watched the two of them, and the instructor also watched them with raised eyebrows...
After a moment, the instructor asked, "Who’s the older and who’s the younger?"
"Report, I am the older brother."
"Report, I am the younger brother."
The two brothers answered in unison, and after their response, the instructor still couldn’t distinguish them very well...
"Do you have any distinguishing features?" the instructor asked, scratching his nose with a finger.
"Report, my name is Gu Yihao, and my brother’s name is Gu Erhao. I am 2 centimeters taller than my brother!" said the older twin brother loudly.
After he finished speaking, the instructor slapped his head, "Do you think I can tell a two-centimeter difference? Are you dumb!"
The twin brother, seeing this, said, "Report to the instructor, I’m fairer than my brother. Just look at who is more handsome, and you’ll know who the younger one is!"
After he finished, he too got his head slapped by the instructor, "Get tanned for a couple of days, then we’ll see who is fairer!"
So, the twin brothers stopped talking.
Because they realized that the more they said, the more wrong they were; it was better not to say anything at all!
At that time, the classmates in the lineup couldn’t hold back their laughter...
At the end of the formation, Huo Feng looked on with schadenfreude at the adult baby twins...
He really wanted to stand out and mock them!
"You two, don’t let me catch you again this morning! If I catch you again, there will be serious punishment!"
In the end, the instructor sternly threatened them both...
The pair of twins were so intimidated, their eyes widened instantly!
"Twenty push-ups! Do it!" the instructor ordered with a stern voice.
So, the twins were punished...
Within ten minutes after the twins returned to their spot, the instructor pulled out Gu Yihao again, "Can’t you just follow orders? Were you the one who was punished just now? The elder or the younger?"
Gu Yihao knew he was the one who made the mistake, but he didn’t dare to admit it...
"Report, I’m the younger brother! It wasn’t me just now, but it’s me now!" Gu Yihao reported loudly.
"Report! That was my brother! It was him who made the mistake just now!"
However, Gu Erhao in the lineup didn’t cooperate with him; instead, he betrayed him. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
"The younger one, come out too!"
The instructor didn’t bother to distinguish and simply punished both, "Twenty push-ups! Run three laps on the field!"
Gu Erhao, furious, ran out of the lineup, reluctantly doing twenty push-ups alongside his brother.
"You’re brothers, what’s there to push around? Pushing it onto someone else, you think I won’t punish you? I have no idea what you’re thinking!"
Seeing the twins being punished time and again, the class watched with interest, hardly being able to contain their laughter.
Then, the one who laughed the loudest in the lineup was also called out by the instructor, "The one at the back! What are you laughing at! What’s so funny! You, come here too!"
That person... was Huo Feng.
Huo Feng jogged to the front of the lineup, stood up straight, and by that time, he could no longer laugh.
"Is it that funny when a classmate makes a mistake? Do you have a grudge against them?"
The instructor frowned and scolded Huo Feng, "Thirty push-ups!"
Huo Feng responded loudly.
Immediately, he dropped to the ground and did thirty standard push-ups at an incredibly fast pace, even finishing before the twins!
By then, the instructor’s look towards Huo Feng softened slightly, "Well done and quite standard. What’s your name?"
The instructor scratched his nose with his finger, recalling how during the warm-up run, Huo Feng had been at the front of the pack and had finished without even panting, clearly leadership material...
But the instructor didn’t say anything, just said, "Alright, go back."
Huo Feng jogged back to the lineup and continued to stand at attention, letting out a long sigh of relief.
At that moment, the twins painfully finished their twenty push-ups, then went on to run laps as punishment...
Already spoiled and lacking in athletic talent, the twins really suffered from the punishment that day, truly in pain...
Huo Feng watched as the two adult baby twins were disciplined all morning, and his heart couldn’t be happier!
Thus, the hellish morning passed just like that.
At 11:30 P.M., all the classes and camps finished training, with everyone dragging their exhausted bodies toward the canteen...
Pu Sangzhi knew that Huo Feng didn’t get along with his new roommate, so she abandoned her two roommates and specifically waited for Huo Feng’s class to disband.
She didn’t wait long for Huo Feng; at most, it was just two minutes...
But almost at the same time, the boys from the computer class turned their attention to her!
In the computer department, the ratio of men to women was also vastly different, so when the boys saw the pure and short-haired Pu Sangzhi, their eyes lit up with fascination...
The moment the instructor said disband, there were boys in the lineup saying, "That girl is pretty..."
"Heard she’s the belle of the Civil Engineering Department..." someone echoed.
"No wonder she’s so beautiful. Do we have a belle in the computer department?" someone asked.
"Forget about it. Those few, do you think they’re pretty?"
In the lineup, various voices ebbed and flowed...
At that time, the twins also both noticed Pu Sangzhi, their gazes simultaneously brightening...
Huo Feng was supposed to run over to Pu Sangzhi immediately, but then he was suddenly stopped by the instructor!
