Chapter 714: Chapter 714

The summer sun was still harsh.

After a half day under the sun, coupled with nonstop military posture training, everyone was dried out...

Indeed, one after another, students who couldn’t endure fainted on the field. It was an inevitable situation...

The instructor had the fainted students move to a shady spot to rest, and those still training under the burning sun looked on with envy.

In the lineup of the Civil Engineering Department’s girls, Minal, who was standing next to Pu Sangzhi, could no longer bear the cruel sun.

Seizing the moment when the instructor was quite far from them, Minal whispered to Pu Sangzhi, "I want to faint... help me..."

"Huh?" Pu Sangzhi doubted she had heard correctly.

Minal repeated softly, "I want to faint, just support me, don’t let me hit my head..."

This ’ah’ wasn’t a question, Pu Sangzhi had clearly understood her intent and felt surprised.

Then, Minal swayed, her head dropped down, and she put on a fainting frail look...

Pu Sangzhi quickly cooperated in catching her, and then shouted loudly to report, "Report! Instructor, someone has fainted!"

At that moment, their instructor was standing at the back row lecturing the boys, hearing that a girl had fainted, he waved back his hand saying, "Take her to rest!"

Then, the instructor continued scolding the boys.

Pu Sangzhi quickly helped Minal out of the lineup. Minal pretended to gasp for air and leaned on her shoulder; Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but smirk...

She had never thought of such a tactic, Pu Sangzhi truly hadn’t expected it...

Finally, Minal was carried to a shady place to sit down, and as soon as she settled, she started breathing heavily, grabbing Pu Sangzhi’s hand and said, "Sangzhi, this method is so good. You should do the same later, come and join me."

Pu Sangzhi just smiled, "You rest, I’m going back."

The rule-abiding Pu Sangzhi usually wouldn’t engage in such opportunistic tricks and furthermore, being someone who enjoyed physical activities, she hadn’t yet reached her limit to need slacking off.

Watching Pu Sangzhi slowly walking away, Minal sighed deeply, took off her hat, and fanned herself.

Resting was genuinely blissful... Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel※fire.net

If only she could rest forever.

As she was lost in thought, suddenly, she caught sight of two boys looking her way from the corner of her eye...

Minal quickly turned her head and caught the eyes of the twins sitting not far away. Her enthusiastic and outgoing nature prompted her to wave at them, "Hi."

On the other side, the typically shy twins were overjoyed at the girl’s greeting, simultaneously waving back at Minal...

Then, mustering courage, the twins pushed each other closer to Minal bit by bit...

Gu Erhao greeted Minal shyly, "Beautiful, are you from the Civil Engineering Department?"

Minal nodded, arching an eyebrow, enthusiastically replied, "How did you know?"

"Hey, I heard that this year’s Civil Engineering Department is all beauties."

Gu Yihao competed to speak, also introducing themselves, "Hello beautiful, we’re from the Computer Science Department. Our department is known for having handsome guys, just like the two of us."

Minal looked at the two, furrowing her brows, "Oh, is that so..."

"Beautiful, can I add you on WeChat?" Gu Erhao seized the opportunity to ask.

"I didn’t bring my phone."

Minal shook her head, "Aren’t we not allowed to bring phones during military training?"

"Right... how silly!"

Gu Yihao tapped Gu Erhao’s head, "Beautiful, can you give us your phone number instead? We can keep in touch in the future."

Minal looked up thoughtfully and then straightforwardly asked, "Are you two trying to court me? Both of you are courting me? You guys won’t fight?"

Her question was quite something...

Gu Yihao and Gu Erhao, the twins, exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

It wasn’t that they found Minal’s words amusing; they just found themselves at a loss for words!

This question had really stumped them!

After laughing for a while, Gu Erhao finally found a reason and explained to Minal, "Well, beautiful, my brother thinks you are pretty and he wants to pursue you. Me... I’d like to pursue the beautiful girl who just helped you here..."

After Gu Erhao finished speaking, Gu Yihao immediately elbowed him, furrowing his brows tightly...

Clearly, Gu Yihao wanted to say: Why is it him pursuing the foreign girl, and you pursuing the department beauty? Can’t it be the other way around? He wants to pursue the department beauty too!

"Oh, you want to pursue Sangzhi~"

Minal seemed to see his intention, "But you don’t stand a chance! Better give up sooner rather than later!"

"Why?" Gu Yihao and Gu Erhao asked in unison.

Just as Minal was about to answer them, their class instructor came over from afar.

"Hey—" He whistled, pointing at the two of them, shouting from a distance, "You two, once you’re rested, come over here!"

Gu Yihao and Gu Erhao responded loudly, hastily got up, and hurried over.

Seeing them both run off, Minal sighed heavily in place, "Ah... don’t call me... let me rest for a while..."

After enduring the grueling training that afternoon, the students finally made it through.

After dispersing, Pu Sangzhi actually wanted to go find Huo Feng, but seeing him walking off with the instructor from a distance, she decided not to catch up.

Seeing that he had finally made a friend at Tsinghua to have meals with, Pu Sangzhi felt happy for him.

On Huo Feng’s part, it was actually him who had initiated the meal with the instructor.

The instructor was even startled by him.

After a whole day of grueling training, most students were scared of the instructor and wished to stay as far away as possible, yet it was only Huo Feng who took the initiative to stay close to the instructor, quite bold!

As a man from the military, the instructor was naturally not faint-hearted, and willingly agreed to dine with him.

Huo Feng got along quite well with the instructor, learning from one meal which unit he belonged to, what his military rank was, how old he was, and whether he had a girlfriend or not.

In the end, he even gave his contact information to the instructor, saying, "Whenever I arrange a mixer, come if you can. I’ll introduce you to some knowledgeable ladies~"

The instructor, only a few years older than him, was somewhat embarrassed by his words.

Over the course of the meal, Huo Feng’s friendship with the instructor did increase significantly.

Huo Feng thought: It definitely isn’t that he, Huo Feng, doesn’t understand human relations; it’s just that his roommates are oddballs!

Look, even normal tough guys could become friends with Huo Feng, the instructor was no exception!

Huo Feng also greatly admired the military integrity the instructor carried, so cool!

After dinner, since there was no training arranged for the evening, the students managed to get some rest at night.

Originally, Huo Feng wanted to invite Pu Sangzhi out for a campus walk in the evening.

But as Pu Sangzhi was too tired from the military training all day, Huo Feng was declined.

Having nothing else to do, Huo Feng washed his hair and bathed early...

In the communal bathroom, he walked out of the shower stall wearing shorts, bare-chested, his hair wet, holding a basin in his hand.

Just then, a taciturn man was washing socks by the basin’s edge, and as Huo Feng passed by him, he glanced at him and casually asked, "Isn’t there a public washing machine? Why do you still wash them yourself?"

The taciturn man instantly tensed up, turned his head, and glanced at the bare-chested Huo Feng...

That well-proportioned muscles, developed chest, biceps, and the water-dripping abs...

His physique made his lips dry, "I just... wash my socks and underwear... do you, do you want me to wash yours?"

Huo Feng was surprised by his sudden offer.

The taciturn man nodded his head, "Just while I’m at it..."

Huo Feng instantly felt this guy was someone he could get along with. He patted the man’s shoulder, "You’re a good man! But, don’t say things carelessly in the future. Especially not to the two adult babies in the dorm; they’d definitely make you work."

The taciturn man nodded then asked, "So, do you want me to help you wash..."

Huo Feng declined, "I have hands and feet, don’t need someone to attend to me. Hey, what’s your name?"

The taciturn man cautiously looked up at Huo Feng’s face, his buzz cut making his face look very sharp, "Yong Mu..."

"What? Didn’t catch that..." said Huo Feng.

"My name is... Yong Mu..."

The taciturn man hurriedly repeated, "You can call me, Xiao Mu..."

"Alright, just call me Brother Feng,"

Huo Feng patted his shoulder, directly saying, "Or calling me Feng Dad is fine too."

The taciturn man replied, "Oh."

"Don’t indulge those two adult babies in the dorm,"

Huo Feng told him, "One of these days I still need to teach them a lesson."

"Mhm." The taciturn man nodded.

After speaking, Huo Feng left.

Left behind, the taciturn man exhaled deeply, feeling less tense...

Although Huo Feng still seemed quite scary, at least he wasn’t rude to him!

Just keep a low profile and behave.
