Min Yu did not know what Zhuo Yun was thinking and simply rubbed his forehead as he said, “Does she look like a weak girl to you?”
“Why not?” Zhuo Yun looked at his boss. Although Miss Huo was more like a tomboy, she was physically a woman.
He should be nicer to her since she was a girl.
Zhuo Yun cleared his throat before he explained patiently. “I went to do some research about Miss Huo’s faculty. Although it doesn’t have a lot of students, a lot of boys are taking the subject. Considering how pretty she is, it is just a matter of time when people want to court her. In time, it is only natural that she develops feelings for her suitors. Just think about it.”
Even though Zhuo Yun was still single, he felt he was capable of writing self-help books to teach people how to win the girls of their dreams.
“You are so shallow.” Min Yu glanced at Zhuo Yun sideways condescendingly.
Zhuo Yun choked when he heard what Min Yu said. He was speaking the truth. How could his boss call him shallow?
If everyone did what Min Yu did, there was no chance they would get the girl.
Zhuo Yun sighed before he continued. “Miss Huo is an extraordinary girl. If you do not buck up, you might lose her.”
Min Yu didn’t say a word before turning to look at the computer screen once more.
Zhuo Yun touched his nose. A thought crossed his mind, so he asked. “Yu, are you really planning on staying until the military training is over?”
“We’ll see.” Min Yu simply answered calmly without raising his head.
Zhuo Yun went quiet for a couple of seconds before he said solemnly, “Things are different in the capital. Even if you don’t care, you should spare a thought for Miss Huo. If anyone finds out you are close to a freshman, it might attract unnecessary trouble for her.”
Min Yu thought about the Huo family and shook his head with hardly any change in his expression. After some time, he responded. “I certainly hope that someone notices it.”
“Huh?” Zhuo Yun did not know what Min Yu meant by this.
Min Yu said nothing and continued working.

After the military training was over in the afternoon, everyone was so exhausted that they went back to the dormitory without even eating dinner.
All women cared about their looks. After taking a short break, Yuan Xi hurriedly took out a mirror and checked her red face. It was clearly suffering from a slight sunburn. She nearly wanted to cry when she saw her face.
She was not alone. All her roommates were doing the same.
“This is only the first day of the military training, but we are already suffering from such terrible sunburn. We still have two more weeks to go. From the looks of it, we might end up disfigured.” Jiang Hua looked into the mirror in her hands and whimpered.
Tang Ruyu touched her face gently and felt a little relieved as she said, “Since I applied a lot of sunblock, I think my skin isn’t as bad as yours.”
“Really? Let me take a look.” Jiang Hua hurriedly went up to Tang Ruyu. “It’s true. Your arms didn’t really get dark. What brand is your sunblock? I am going to get myself a new bottle.”
The moment Yuan Xi heard what Tang Ruyu and Jiang Hua said, she turned to look at them. Sure enough, Tang Ruyu’s face seemed to be in great shape.
Tang Ruyu told Jiang Hua she was using a luxury sunblock that cost a few thousand dollars a bottle. She even raised her chin and spoke loudly when Yuan Xi looked over.
Jiang Hua stuck her tongue out. “Okay. I will order a few bottles from the official website. I don’t want to end up looking like an African after the camp.”
Meanwhile, Huo Yao had just come out of the bathroom from cleansing her face. Water droplets were trickling down her cheek. Her face looked translucent, flawless, and seemed to be unscathed by the scorching sun.
