Chapter 718: Chapter 718

At this time, on the other side, at the female dormitory of Zijing Building No. 5.

Pu Sangzhi heard screams coming from the dormitory, hurriedly ended her call with Huo Feng, and turned to run inside...

There, she saw Mu Mu, the introverted girl who did not socialize with them, sitting on the ground surrounded by scattered bath supplies, having apparently taken a fall.

Conveniently, there were only Pu Sangzhi and Mu Mu in the dormitory at the moment, as Minal and Wei Zixuan had gone together to do their laundry.

Pu Sangzhi naturally took it upon herself to go help...

"It’s okay, it’s okay... I’m fine..."

However, before she could even get there, the introverted girl Mu Mu anticipated her intentions, hastily gesturing with her hands, trying to refuse her help.

It was this kind of standoffish attitude that made Pu Sangzhi, Minal, and Wei Zixuan reluctant to get close to her.

Normally, Pu Sangzhi was not the type to offer assistance to those who greeted her with a cold shoulder.

But now, seeing her fall, Pu Sangzhi didn’t heed her polite refusal and rushed over, eagerly reaching out to help her up by the arm...

As she got up, the girl almost lost her balance again and nearly fell.

Fortunately, Pu Sangzhi was there to support her, enabling her to barely maintain her footing.

"It’s fine, I’m okay, you don’t need to help me..."

Even as Mu Mu said these words of resistance, with a demeanor that screamed "I don’t need your help," her heart was actually thinking, "I want to get closer to you."

You could say she was quite Moody Mu...

When she put her foot on the ground, Mu Mu gasped in pain, seemingly having twisted it a bit.

"Take it slow, be careful..."

Pu Sangzhi quickly helped her sit down on a nearby chair, then went back to pick up the scattered bath supplies and basin.

"You don’t have to help me... just put it down; I can handle it myself..."

Mu Mu’s eyes widened, nervously watching Pu Sangzhi’s enthusiastic actions.

In her heart, she was quite pleased...

But her pride wouldn’t let her show it!

"I didn’t ask for your help..."

After Pu Sangzhi had placed her basin on the cabinet, Mu Mu awkwardly pursed her lips and begrudgingly said thanks, "Well, thank you then..."

Pu Sangzhi felt that the thanks seemed somewhat reluctant and perfunctory.

Turning her head, Pu Sangzhi looked at her intently, "Your foot is okay? Do you want me to mention it to the counselor?"

"It’s nothing, not a big deal at all."

Mu Mu quickly shook her head, insisting, "Just, just leave me be."

As she spoke these words, the girl’s heart was collapsing...

Because, what she truly thought was: I need to seize this chance to build a relationship! I have to take this opportunity!

Instead, her mouth betrayed her inner thoughts.

Nodding her head, Pu Sangzhi said, "If nothing’s wrong, that’s good. I have Yunnan Baiyao Medicine, wait a minute..."

"Hey, you don’t need to help me, I’m fine, I didn’t ask for your help... I mean..."

As she spoke, Mu Mu hastily bit her tongue to remind herself: Shut up! Don’t talk anymore!

Then, she closed her mouth, so she wouldn’t push Pu Sangzhi further away with her words...

Meanwhile, Pu Sangzhi quickly found the Yunnan Baiyao Medicine in the cabinet, squatted down in front of her, took hold of her foot, and squeezed around the ankle...

Following that, Mu Mu cried out in pain.

After the cry, she quickly covered her mouth with both hands, furiously furrowed her brows in anger!

She was furious with herself... Why cry out so loudly? It was so embarrassing!

"It’s a bit swollen."

Pu Sangzhi’s brow furrowed slightly as she opened the Yunnan Baiyao Medicine, shook it a bit, and sprayed it on the slightly swollen area.

It wasn’t painful at first.

But after the Yunnan Baiyao Medicine was applied, it felt both hot and painful!

Mu Mu clenched her mouth shut, bearing the pain as her brows arched high, her eyes glaring wide!

The discomfort was intense!

Looking up, Pu Sangzhi glanced at her and suddenly, amused by her exaggerated expression, chuckled, "If it hurts, just let it out. Girls don’t need to endure it."

Clenching her teeth and covering her mouth, Mu Mu shook her head firmly.

Grinning, Pu Sangzhi asked, "Really doesn’t hurt?"

"Really... doesn’t hurt!"

Mu Mu continued to shake her head, her brows uneven, her eyes conveying a pained smile.

Pu Sangzhi laughed, "We’ve got training next week, and if it really hurts, tell the instructor early. Girls can afford to be a little fragile; no need to endure."

Mu Mu shook her head repeatedly.

Seeing her stubbornness, Pu Sangzhi didn’t push further and stood up with a light laugh, "Just sit and rest, I’ll help you dry your hair."

"No need, you don’t have to help, I didn’t ask for any help..."

Mu Mu hurriedly shook her head, refusing for the umpteenth time.

This behavior gave Pu Sangzhi the impression that "she didn’t want to owe anyone favors."

Nonetheless, without waiting for a response, Pu Sangzhi took the hairdryer, found a plug on the wall, and as she plugged it in said, "We’re all dormmates; it’s right to help each other out. I’m not asking for anything in return, so you don’t need to be nervous."

Mu Mu quickly waved her hand, "No need, really no need... you really don’t have to worry about me..."

But when Pu Sangzhi turned on the hairdryer and her five fingers touched Sangzhi’s wet hair, Sangzhi couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile, turning away from Pu Sangzhi.

It felt, really nice...

"I’ve never dried someone’s hair before, not even my boyfriend’s," Pu Sangzhi said as she dried.

"Although, it wasn’t me who asked you, but still... thank you."

Mu Mu pursed her lips, seemingly reluctantly offering thanks.

"You don’t need to be so polite with me."

Pu Sangzhi said with a smile, "We’re in the same dorm, if you’re willing, shall we become friends?"

Facing away from Pu Sangzhi, the girl Mu Mu’s lips rose high in delight, she almost laughed out loud!

Then, she nodded her head, which was as good as agreeing to Pu Sangzhi.

After going to bed, Mu Mu and Yong Mu started sending each other private WeChat messages again...

Today, it was Mu Mu who messaged him first.

She wrote: "Did you know? I suddenly realized that I might be breaking into their circle. Just because I slipped and fell after taking a shower today!"

On the other side, Moody Mu replied: "How did you fall? Are you okay?"

Introverted Mu wrote: "Completely fine, just a little swollen. You don’t know, I just had a minor fall and the prettiest girl in our dorm, she was so anxious! She helped me up, sprayed medicine on me, and even dried my hair! No matter how I tried to refuse, she wouldn’t have it!"

Moody Mu let his worries go as he read the screen, replying: "That’s good then. Based on what you’re saying, isn’t that beauty actually quite nice?"

Introverted Mu: "Yeah, she’s pretty nice. I think she will probably invite me to have a meal together tomorrow?"

Moody Mu: "That’s good. I was worried that you would be alone for tomorrow’s meal."

Introverted Mu: "Why do you say that? Does someone accompany you for meals now?"

Moody Mu: "Yeah. It’s the fiercest guy in our dorm... I’ve discovered that he seems to really like me. He purposely looked for me to chat today, and I couldn’t refuse."

Introverted Mu: "Congratulations then. Not only did he not dislike you, but he likes you!"

Moody Mu: "Yeah, and congrats to you too. Finally, you can be friends with the beauty."

Introverted Mu: "I can’t refuse either. I’ve declined many times, but she insisted on helping me. There was nothing I could do..."

Moody Mu: "Yeah. They both seem pretty nice. Let’s just see how things go."

Introverted Mu: "Mm-hm."

Behind the screens, after chatting for several days, they both finally breathed a sigh of relief...

Can’t refuse, can’t refuse at all...

Military training continued as usual.

The daily exercise routine remained quite a challenge.

Last night, Mu Mu twisted her ankle, and although the swelling wasn’t severe, after a few rounds of morning runs, the minor swelling quickly became significant...

By Mu Mu’s nature, she would usually endure such things.

However, when Pu Sangzhi saw her foot at noon, she immediately informed the instructor.

The instructor took her to the infirmary, and during the subsequent training, a lot of slack was cut for her...

Mu Mu felt even more grateful to Pu Sangzhi!

And so, a week of military training passed.

Soon, the students made it to the second week.

Compared to the strictness of the first week, entering into the second week meant getting familiar with the instructors, and the quality of the military training became a bit diluted.

Because the instructors were lenient...

But even so, the forced marches that were an essential part of military training couldn’t be avoided.

That afternoon, the military theory class ended early, and the students returned to the dormitory around three o’clock to prepare to wash up and sleep early.

Because, at midnight, they had to march for 20 kilometers carrying their quilts!

That afternoon, Instructor Chen entered the girls’ dormitory for the first time, specifically to explain the precautions for the march to the female students of his class.

Like how to fold quilts, how to carry them, and some little tricks.

"There aren’t many girls in your class, but you have to pay special attention to safety and health," said Instructor Chen with concern.

"Let me ask a rather embarrassing question, is anyone on their period?"

Minal promptly raised her hand, "Reporting, I’m on my period! Can I be excused from participating?"

"You cannot," said Instructor Chen.

Minal, deflated, lowered her hand...

Thinking to herself: Then why bother asking! Fınd the newest release on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

Instructor Chen continued, "Girls on their period must speak up if they feel uncomfortable on the road, and must not endure in silence. If necessary..."

Minal’s eyes brightened, "Will there be a car to transport us?"

"Wishful thinking!" said Instructor Chen.

Minal deflated once more...

Thinking: Is it really necessary to give hope and then crush it with one punch? Too much!

Instructor Chen added, "If necessary, you can ask the boys to carry you for a part of the way, but you can’t fall behind. Or, I can carry you for a part. But this is only for the girls on their period!"

Minal nodded, "Instructor, I’ll rely on you today!"

Instructor Chen was speechless with her, "Can’t you stop mucking about every day? I recognize you now, Minal. Elisil!"

He really did recognize her.

He even got her full name right!
