Chapter 64: The Start of Military Training_2


Xie Zhengrong didn't feel jealous about Xu Lin's moment in the spotlight today; instead, he felt proud.

The feelings of young people are mostly pure, with not much impurity.

Of course, not everyone is like that.

Liu Longsheng was green with envy.

Not only was Xu Lin handsome today, but he also stole the show.

For example, the university class group is still discussing it, several hours later.

Liu Longsheng felt that he should be the one in the limelight like this.

Going to university, driving an e300, being in the spotlight, and having a pretty girlfriend in the passenger seat, becoming a figure in the limelight.

Liu Longsheng dreamed of living like this; that's what a complete life should be.

Yet now, before the military training even started, Xu Lin was already standing out.

Moreover, the more important thing is that Xu Lin was getting close to Rong Xiyan.

Liu Longsheng was truly jealous.

So Liu Longsheng sourly said, "He's not some celebrity; it's normal for the trending buzz to die down!"

Xu Lin picked up on the tone and simply chimed in, "I think so too."

Liu Longsheng: "There's nothing good about trending, more chances for flaws to be magnified..."

Liu Longsheng gave an example of a recent celebrity, who, due to offending capital, had all their trivial past incidents brought to light, trying to filter the celebrity out.

Xu Lin: "You're right!"

Xu Lin knew well that the way to deal with a Sha Bi wasn't to contradict them, but to go along with them, making them feel foolish.

Using softness to overcome hardness!

"Ahem ahem!"

Liu Longsheng thought Xu Lin would argue back; he didn't expect Xu Lin to agree with him.

Liu Longsheng expected Xu Lin to argue, then he could use his years of armed knowledge to counter back.

However, Xu Lin did not argue back.

At this time, Hu Donghai spoke, "Brothers, we need to head over for the military training mobilization at four o'clock, pay attention to the time."

For the four o'clock mobilization, in reality, we need to head over around three forty.

Today's a big sunny day.

Xu Lin glanced at the temperature.

Thirty-seven degrees.

Luckily it's not thirty-eight degrees.

Don't underestimate a difference of one degree; the solar heat can make the outside feel like a steamer.

In September, the sun sets after six, and it only gets dark around eight.

Around three or four o'clock, it's unbearably hot.

Everyone saw the preparation for military training mobilization and changed into their military training clothes.

Two sets of clothes, a hat, and a pair of liberation shoes.

A short sleeve and a shirt for the top, and the pants were the same.

According to Gu Yan's class assistant notice, today we're wearing the short-sleeve set.

After changing clothes, everyone sat in the dorm for another ten minutes.

When the time hit the thirties, everyone went out together.

The gathering point for the military training mobilization was the school football field.

Upon arriving at the gathering point, class assistant Gu Yan and the senior assistant from the neighboring economics class two had already arrived first.

The combination of Xu Lin's class and the other class had seventy-seven people in total, thirty-eight from class one and thirty-nine from class two, just enough to form a military training class, and other majors were similar in this enrollment size, with sixty-something, seventy-something students per major.

At this moment, Xu Lin saw Rong Xiyan, so he walked over.

Interestingly, there weren't many people around this girl; the girls formed small dormitory groups, each based on dormitory units during this initial period when school started; they hadn't completely branched out yet.

Rong Xiyan stood alone there, with her hair tied into a low ponytail, wearing a military hat, enduring the blazing sun.

If it were anyone else, they would take out their phone to play, wouldn't it be awkward just standing there?

But not Rong Xiyan; she just stood there looking into the distance, then turned to look when she saw Xu Lin approaching.

"Saw you trending."

Rong Xiyan acknowledged as Xu Lin came near.

Xu Lin: "It's down now, didn't last long; I wanted to bask a bit more."

"Tch!"

Rong Xiyan didn't care much.

Xu Lin asked, "Not getting along with your dormmates?"

"Why would you think that?" Rong Xiyan looked at him.

"Look all these girls, all in twos, threes, fours forming little groups, and you're by yourself; I thought maybe you're being ostracized by the dorm."

"What if I am being ostracized by the dorm?"

"What else can you do? Find a way yourself!"

"Aren't you going to help me out?"

"I can't, we're just regular classmates, not a couple."

"Then can we become a couple?"

"Then I'll begrudgingly accept!"

Xu Lin blandly replied, knowing that Rong Xiyan was joking.

Rong Xiyan laughed brightly, "I'm just kidding!"

Xu Lin said, "I know."

The two casually chatted there.

About ten minutes later, everyone gathered together.

The instructors also arrived; this instructor looked quite fierce, with dark skin like someone working on a construction site, sun and rain-worn, very tanned.

But it is said that the instructors for Finance University's military training are all active military personnel, so these instructors gave Xu Lin the feeling of being very strong and capable fighters.

"Hey, do you think these instructors are all from the north?"

Asked in a low voice by Jinmen old chap standing next to Xu Lin.

Xu Lin was 1.87 meters tall, but among the thirty guys in the team, four were taller than him, all over 1.9 meters, with three from the north and one from the south.

The generation born after '05, both boys and girls, are quite tall.

For example, the Jinmen old chap next to him, Liu Yang, was 1.91 meters tall.

Similarly, Rong Xiyan, standing at 1.74 meters, was the fourth tallest among the girls here; the tallest girl reached a staggering 1.83 meters. Though her looks weren't great, her model-like body stood out, especially from behind.

"Why do you think that?"

Xu Lin was curious.

Liu Yang said, "These instructors, even the female ones, are all above 1.7 meters, and all the males are over 1.8 meters."

"Probably selected by the army, but it could also mean they're all northern folks."

The instructor assigned to Xu Lin had a thick northeastern accent.

Under the instructor's command, everyone lined up, then stood still for military postures while listening to the instructor talking about various military training tips, like the small detail that everyone had to bring water, or they would be penalized otherwise.

At five o'clock, as the instructor announced the dismissal, everyone who had been standing in military stances for a long time felt relieved and dispersed quickly.

Liu Longsheng, who had been planning for a while, quickly walked over to Rong Xiyan.

Liu Longsheng immediately said with a smile, "Rong Xiyan, want to go to the cafeteria together?"

Liu Longsheng was quite handsome, like those internet sensation handsome guys; if it were an average girl, she would likely have agreed, but Rong Xiyan wasn't buying into it.

"Are you trying to pursue me?"

Rong Xiyan suddenly asked.

"Uh... Actually... I... I don't mean anything else, just wanted to treat you to a meal!"

Liu Longsheng scratched his head, quite embarrassed.

Rong Xiyan's question was too straightforward, fearing that admitting it might frighten the fair lady away.

At this moment, Liu Longsheng quickly stood upright, trying to present a gentlemanly demeanor.

Would girls like a bold man?

Then Rong Xiyan continued, "That's why I'm not interested, if it was Xu Lin, he would directly and openly admit it."

Rong Xiyan calmly said, "I've arranged to meet Xu Lin!"

With that, Rong Xiyan left, leaving Liu Longsheng stunned where he stood.
