Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan’s discussion crept into Qiao Nan’s ears. Tang Jiayun also heard them.
Tang Jiayun glanced toward the instructor that they were referring to and said mockingly, “Don’t imagine things anymore. We are all freshmen and don’t know one another. The instructor is just casually turning his head. He is not looking at anyone in particular. Don’t talk nonsense, lest our class becomes the laughingstock of others.”
That instructor was looking at Qiao Nan? How could Qiao Nan possibly warrant that?
If she had not made a mistake, that instructor’s badge stated that he was an officer in a leadership position and not just any ordinary soldier in the army.
Qiao Nan was just a lady from the countryside. How could she get to know such a character?
What a joke!
Tang Jiayun herself did not even have a chance to get to know such individuals.
Fortunately, Qiao Nan did not give any reaction. Otherwise, it would be obvious that these words of Tang Jiayun were directed at Qiao Nan.
Tang Jiayun looked at the long-sleeved camouflage shirt and trousers that she was wearing. They had already plastered to her body as she was drenched in her own sweat. She looked disheveled, as if she had just fallen into the waters and come out of it.
Facing such a situation, Tang Jiayun dared not apply any makeup regardless of how vain she was.
To Tang Jiayun, who had recently become a fan of makeup, she felt very depressed that she had to face these instructors, who were brimming with male hormones, with a bare face directly.
If she could wear a figure-hugging and low-cut dress as well as apply light makeup, it was definitely possible that those few instructors would look in the direction of their class continuously. Most importantly, she was certain that their eyes would be on her.
At the thought of this, Tang Jiayun felt that it was a sheer pity.
“Right, Qiao Nan, when the military training ends, should we organize a farewell event for the instructors?” At that time, the instructors and school could not possibly force them to wear these ugly camouflage clothes. She would then be able to change into her dress, wear high-heel shoes, and doll herself up beautifully with makeup so that she could have a good bonding session with these instructors.
“I’m not sure. We have to see if anyone in the class could organize this.” Qiao Nan was wiping her sweat. She felt much more comfortable after drinking sufficient water.
As for Tang Jiayun’s suggestion, Qiao Nan did not have any comment.
Tang Jiayun sized up Qiao Nan and even went to sit beside her deliberately. This made Qiao Nan pull a long face. The weather was so hot Did they have to sit so close together to make themselves suffer?
“Qiao Nan, there are so many instructors. What are your thoughts when you see them?” In the past, she had also participated in military training. However, the ‘quality’ of the instructors that she had previously met was not as good as the batch of instructors today. At that time, she thought that the so-called soldiers were all short and dwarf-like. However, this year, although the instructors were a little too tanned, they were all tall, big, and charismatic.
Qiao Nan raised her eyebrows. “What do you mean?”
“…” Facing the dis-enlightened Qiao Nan, Tang Jiayun elaborated. “The one in your family-how is he in comparison to these instructors?”
“Of course mine is better!” It was needless to compare.
“Crap.” Tang Jiayun expressed disbelief. She felt that either Qiao Nan was boasting or it was purely because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
These instructors, especially the one that Lü Yan and Yu Xiaoxiao mentioned, had bright and promising futures ahead. They were all holding leadership positions. Could ordinary folks be compared to them?
“Gather!” At this moment, the instructors commanded the students, who were scattered around and resting, to gather immediately and continue the merciless physical training.
The first day of the military training simply caused the students to feel as exhausted as dogs. To Qiao Nan, who suffered from some ailments during summer, it was even more terrible.
After forcing herself to fill her tummy with quite a fair bit of food from the canteen, Qiao Nan then dragged her exhausted body and hurried to the dormitory to wash up and go to bed. She wanted to have more time to sleep and replenish her energy so that she could cope with the military training session tomorrow.
Unfortunately, in less than five minutes after she hit the bed, Qiao Nan was pulled awake by someone.
Qiao Nan’s heart was on fire. She nearly scolded the person who pulled her up.
It was only when Qiao Nan opened her eyes and saw that Shi Qing, and not the three dormitory mates, was the one who came to look for her that she suppressed her anger. “It is best that you give me a good explanation for this. Otherwise, look at how I will deal with you!”
Shi Qing was taken aback. This was the first time that she saw Qiao Nan angry when the latter woke up. “Do you know who the instructor that trained my class today was?”
“Nonsense!” There were so many soldiers in China. The number of soldiers that she knew by names could be counted with one hand, let alone two. How would she possibly know who the instructor who trained Shi Qing’s class was?”
“Zhou Jun!”
“Brother Zhou?” At this juncture, Qiao Nan’s mind sobered up a little. At the sight that they were the only ones in the dormitory, the three dormitory mates had not returned for whatever reasons-Qiao Nan then felt more at ease. “Brother Zhai told me that he’s not coming.”
“He didn’t come. Zhou Jun was the one who came.” Brother Zhai was not wrong.
“This is not Ping Cheng but the capital. The instructors who provide military training to the college students are from Ping Cheng and not the capital. Are you trying to give me a fright?” Qiao Nan did not believe Shi Qing. “Did you make a mistake?”
“It’s not as if I’ve known Zhou Jun for only one or two days. How would I make a mistake? The strange thing is why did he teach my class instead of yours? Besides, I’m very certain that my class instructor was Zhou Jun. I also observed that he had been looking in the direction of your class during the break time today.”
Shi Qing did not study at Ping Cheng High School during her first year of high school studies. Nevertheless, she had long heard from Tang Mengran about the glorious history of Qiao Nan knowing two military training instructors of class one who consecutively came to teach them.
They were already college students now. Shi Qing had also had a secret crush on someone before. How would she not understand how Zhou Jun felt toward Qiao Nan?
Hence, she came to tell Qiao Nan and share with her this big gossip.
“Tell me, did Zhou Jun come for you?” Since that was the case, why did Zhou Jun train her class instead of Qiao Nan’s?
Qiao Nan pursed her lips. “Let me tell you. Don’t spread this around. I’m already engaged to Brother Zhou and many people in the army know about this. I don’t believe Brother Zhou doesn’t know. Furthermore, this is a college. Interpersonal relationships are more complex than those in junior and senior high schools. That Tang Jiayun from my dormitory is one of those who are not easy to deal with. Don’t create troubles for me.”
It was obvious at first sight that Tang Jiayun was one that had matured early. In particular, toward the area of romance psychology, she was not less knowledgeable than the Xu Tingting in the past. “Today, Tang Jiayun was already thinking of organizing a farewell party for the instructors. You have also seen for yourself. Tang Jiayun’s means are more sophisticated than that of Xu Tingting. Because of Tang Jiayun, the other two of my dormitory mates had been criticized by the counselor just two nights ago. The military training made us as lethargic as a dog, yet they can still have fun outside instead of coming back. I don’t know what they are doing.”
In terms of winning over people’s hearts, Xu Tingting should acknowledge Tang Jiayun as her master.
