Huo Yao scrutinized him blatantly before she said, “I heard everyone talking about you in the canteen earlier.”
He had an intimidating aura, so no one dared to look him in the eye, but people were not afraid to talk about him privately.
Min Yu raised his brow. He gave her a chicken drumstick before he said unhurriedly, “I am sure they must be talking about how scary I am.”
Huo Yao glanced at him quietly before taking a bite of the chicken drumstick. Not bad. It seemed he knew himself well.
“Were you in the military earlier?” asked Huo Yao casually as she raised her head moments later.
Since he was the chief military instructor, he did not have to guide the students personally. However, judging from his perfect posture, it was clear that he had undergone training before.
“Uh huh. I went to a special training camp before,” answered Min Yu softly as though he was talking about something absolutely mundane.
The special training was worlds apart from normal military training. Normal military training was already incredibly tough for an average citizen, but special training was much more grueling than that.
The training was arduous and was a genuine test of survival skills, so people who went through it were real champions.
Huo Yao contemplated while holding her chopsticks. Even though she did not know about the special training camp, she felt it must be similar to the training from hell which she had undergone in the past.
“What about you? Are you physically able to keep up with the training?” said Min Yu as he changed the subject.
Huo Yao gathered her thoughts and nodded. “It was okay.”
After all, the basic foot drill and learning commands were child’s play to her.
Min Yu did not eat much and quickly put down his chopsticks and wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue. “If you can’t take it, let me know.”
Huo Yao glanced at Min Yu sideways and smiled at him teasingly. “Sir, are you going to openly give me special treatment?”
Min Yu laughed softly before leaning into the couch and said mildly, “If you need it.”
Huo Yao felt moved by his gesture. She cleared her throat and shifted her eyes. She picked up the untouched soup and took a few small sips. “Forget it. No one should get special treatment.”
Min Yu knew that she had a strong personality, so he nodded and acknowledged her words gently. “Okay. As you wish.”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao lowered her eyes slightly and drank her soup.
The atmosphere in the room felt slightly different. Even though it was quiet and neither of them spoke, it did not feel awkward.
Huo Yao felt a little full after drinking the soup. Just as she was about to excuse herself and go take a nap at the dormitory, Min Yu suddenly stood up, pulled out his phone, and walked up to the window to answer it.
Huo Yao could only hold her words.
“… Uh huh. Send it over as soon as possible.” After talking for a few minutes, Min Yu hung up the phone.
He turned around and said to Huo Yao, “Why don’t you take a nap here? I have something for you. It will arrive in about 30 minutes.”
He paused before he added. “If you like, you can go back to the dorm for a break and come back in the afternoon when it gets here.”
Huo Yao went with the first option. “It’s okay. I can wait here.”
The moment Min Yu heard this, he smiled before putting his phone in his pocket. “Good.”
Huo Yao glanced at him and clearly caught the smile on his face.
He must have purposely planned this.
