It was the second time Huo Yao had offered Yuan Xi sunblock. Yuan Xi pondered before she said eagerly, “Yes, please!”
After all, the afternoon sun would be even stronger, so there was no harm in applying more sun protection.
The moment Yuan Xi finished her sentence, she took the sunblock from Huo Yao. The sunblock was inside an unlabeled soft tube. She asked as she twisted the bottle open. “What brand is this sunblock?”
“It’s custom made,” said Huo Yao nonchalantly.
Since it was handmade, this meant it did not undergo any proper testing or safety checks, so it was a dangerous product.
The three other girls glanced at each other when they heard this.
They were elite students from other provinces and hailed from well-to-do families, so they were accustomed to only using designer goods. The moment they heard what Huo Yao said about the product, they simply felt she was so poor that she had to use a handmade sunblock.
Otherwise, why would she use an untested product? Also, her clothing did not look designer.
The three of them pursed their lips before veering their eyes.
Yuan Xi had already opened the sunblock. She took a whiff and her eyes promptly lit up. “It smells different. It’s great.”
Huo Yao raised her brow as she looked at her. Of course, it smelled good. After all, it was from her brother’s research laboratory.
Yuan Xi squeezed some sunblock and applied it to her neck and arms. The white cream was easily absorbed by her skin. It had a different texture from ordinary sunblock and was not sticky. It gave off a cool glow after she applied it and felt like a layer of protection had covered her skin.
Yuan Xi raised her arms for a look and felt impressed by how the sunblock felt on her body.
It was almost time to report to the ground. Since Yuan Xi had already applied a few layers of sunblock on her face and was worried about allergic reactions, she did not apply it to her face.
Before long, they heard the sound of whistle coming from the field and ran over to fall in.

Basic military training for the university was no different from the one they took during middle school. It mainly focused on systematic military training, so it was tougher than the one for middle school students and included a few strenuous military activities.
The afternoon sun became even stronger. All the weaker students were unable to withstand it and were sent to the university infirmary.
Min Yu had only shown his face in the morning and continued working in the office for the rest of the afternoon.
The chief military instructor did not have to train the students all the time. Also, his presence would only serve to give the instructors immense pressure.
Zhuo Yun came in from outside dressed in camouflage gear as well. “Yu, several students were sent to the infirmary.”
Min Yu was typing but his hands paused before he raised his head to look at Zhuo Yun.
Zhuo Yun glanced at his boss before clearing his throat. “I wonder if Miss Huo can take it?”
Min Yu went quiet for a few seconds before he said deeply, “This is none of your business.”
“How could you bear to let Miss Huo pass out from heatstroke?” Zhuo Yun did not understand what Min Yu was trying to say.
Miss Huo had been too young to date when she was still in middle school.
Now that she was a university freshman, his boss continued to act so passively that he could not help feeling worried about Min Yu’s love life.
Didn’t Min Yu know about the number of outstanding young men there were in the university? Also, Huo Yao was in the Science and Engineering faculty, so there were a lot of boys to begin with. What if someone stole her from Min Yu?
After all, Min Yu’s only edge was his gorgeous face and social status. How could he compete with the young pretty college boys in terms of age?
