Instructor Wen finally walked over to Su Xian. Perhaps he had experienced déjà vu before, but seeing Su Xian's dilemma, he whispered, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's not me." Su Xian pointed at Lu Xiran: "She suddenly had her period."
After all, Instructor Wen was not much older than them. After taking a look at Lu Xiran, he immediately looked away and coughed to pretend to be calm.
"You two, step out!"
Su Xian and Lu Xiran stood out from the team. The team was still moving forward slowly. When passing by them, he was so tired that he didn't even look at them.
Most of them are small flowers and saplings grown in greenhouses, and they seem to have been really troubled.
"The car from the infirmary just left. You stay here with her and rest for a while. I'll notify the car to pick you up."
After leaving the crowd, Instructor Wen spoke at a much lower volume. Although it cannot be said to be gentle, it was a world of difference from during military training.
Su Xian took a rare serious look at their instructor Wen.
He has thick eyebrows, long and slightly curled eyelashes, and regular facial features, but his skin is tanned into a bronze color. It is precisely this bronze skin that makes it easy for people to overlook his good looks.
It's just that he is still so childish and speaks in an adult tone, which is really hard to accept.
"Coach Wen, how old are you?"
At this critical moment, Lu Xiran could still ask this kind of question so freely, Su Xian really admired him.
"nineteen"
"Oh, you're only one year older than us. I thought you were that old."
"Instructor Wen, you are so young and you are our instructor. You must be very good in the army, right?"
"so so."
"Coach Wen is so modest. Do you have a girlfriend?"
Su Xian glanced at Lu Xiran, thinking that it was too much, but his ears still stood up consciously.
"No."
The answer was very precise and without any hesitation.
"Instructor Wen, are romantic relationships allowed in the military?"
"You are not allowed to find a partner within the military or at the base, and you cannot get married during your compulsory military service."
Seeing how he had memorized the rules by heart, Su Xian suddenly felt that Wen He was quite cute.
"Is that so? Then we can talk about it even if we are not in the army."
"Coach Wen, what kind of girls do you like?"
Su Xian then realized that their instructor Wen's usual seriousness was all pretended. Otherwise, why would he look at Lu Xiran, the curious baby, for help
Su Xian smiled secretly in his heart and covered Lu Xiran's chattering mouth: "Let Instructor Wen take a rest."
"Okay." Su Xian liked this about Lu Xiran. Although he was very curious, he let go quickly and didn't drive people crazy or disgusted.
Besides, who can feel disgusted with such a simple little girl
The car arrived quickly. Su Xian sent Lu Xiran into the car, told her to go back and have a good rest, and then closed the car door.
After the car left, Wen He was a little surprised: "Why don't you go back with her."
Su Xian also thought that Instructor Wen's question was strange: "It's not me who came here, why should I go back too?"
Instructor Wen smiled and said, "I originally thought that if I asked you to go back with her, I would make you secretly happy, but you didn't go back."
"Instructor Wen." Su Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You think I look like the kind of person who is sneaky and cunning. Besides, please don't hurt me. Military training is related to academic credits. I want to get these points."
"As an instructor, I only want you to grow. How could I have thoughts that would harm you?"
This kind of straightforward explanation made Su Xian stunned for a moment, and then he smiled helplessly: "Coach Wen, I was joking with you, why did you take it seriously?"
Su Xian eventually returned to the team. Chen Biyu was very surprised by her return: "I thought she took this opportunity to escape, why are you back again?"
Su Xian could only explain again: "Didn't the instructor say that if you can escape today, there's still tomorrow. Where can you escape to?"
"Even if there is tomorrow, I'd better escape today first. If I can escape but don't, I'm stupid. Just tell me to go earlier."
Okay, just treat her as a fool.
Ten kilometers, four hours, a full hour longer than expected. There were really too many incidents on the road. Either one person couldn't walk anymore, or that person had heatstroke, or someone's soles were rubbed raw.
There were various reasons, but in the end they all gave in to the instructor's words, "You have to finish crawling even if you have to."
It’s better to just walk honestly. You can’t really crawl.
Su Xian's legs and feet had actually been protesting collectively for a long time. She gritted her teeth and persisted. During this time, Instructor Wen asked, "Are you okay?"
Su Xian wasn't sure whether the question was addressed to her or to everyone, so she nodded affirmatively. To show that she was okay, she even quickened her pace, which made Chen Biyu so tired that she followed behind and scolded her for not being a woman.
When they returned to school, it was already past dinner time. The aunties in the cafeteria must have received the notice in advance, but they still stayed at their posts, looking at the poor little kids who were almost the same age as their own children. Even their hands, which usually trembled when serving food, didn't shake that day.
Su Xian's stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time, and the fragrant white rice made her eyes go straight. Fortunately, she had free time for meals, so she just started eating seriously.
Chen Biyu looked at her wolfing down her food, feeling both envious and disgusted: "You must be a starving ghost reincarnated. You eat so deliciously. Is the food in the cafeteria so delicious?"
Su Xian thought to himself: You have never eaten the food in our house. If you have, you will think that the food in the cafeteria is a delicacy from the land and sea.
"Don't forget what we agreed on. I'll come back to the dormitory after dinner to find you. Don't run around."
With just one sentence, she blocked the way, but Su Xian was still thinking about running around.
As a result, she had just returned to the dormitory after dinner and before she had time to talk to Lu Xiran, Chen Biyu's head popped in through the crack in the door.
The speed is amazingly fast.
She stuffed a paper bag into Su Xian's hand: "Don't peek!"
Su Xian was too lazy to look and just glanced at the things in the paper bag. There was a light blue envelope with a red heart on it, and a square box with a bow tied on it. It looked so rustic and vulgar, yet also girly.
Chen Biyu threw this hot potato into Su Xian's hands and ran away.
"Xianxian, you really went to send it to her." Lu Xiran came back from washing up and almost bumped into Chen Biyu.
"Or, why don't you go give it to your senior brother?" Su Xian looked at Lu Xiran pleadingly.
"Me?" Lu Xiran waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I won't go. Although Senior Brother Zuo is a nice person, what if he is disgusted by this kind of thing? Then I will be in trouble. What if he gets angry?"
"You've thought it through." Su Xian smiled bitterly: "What should we do then?"
"How about," Lu Xiran thought carefully for a moment: "Give it to Senior Brother Ren, and let Senior Brother Ren give it to Senior Brother Zuo?"
Su Xian threw the paper bag on the bed dejectedly: "What's the point of going through all this trouble?"
“It doesn’t seem to make any sense.”
"Forget it. I just happen to have something to ask my senior brother."
There was nothing to do in the evening, so Su Xian simply took a shower, changed into a light blue short-sleeved shirt and a pair of black jeans, casually smoothed his short hair, and sent a message to Zuo Yueyao.
"Brother Zuo, do you have anything to do later?"
About ten minutes later, the text message came back.
"Nothing, what's wrong?"
"I have something to ask you."
This time, the reply was immediate: "Okay, come find me at Area C on the third floor of the library."
"good."
Su Xian hurriedly went out with the paper bag.
The library is on the west side of the girls' dormitory building, about ten minutes' walk away. If Su Xian had not come to Nanjing University, he would never have known that a school could be so big.
During the afternoon hike, Su Xian developed a blister on the sole of her foot, probably because her shoes didn't fit her well. This affected her normal walking, so she had no choice but to walk slower.
Area C on the third floor is full of books about medicine. Su Xian immediately spotted the person standing upright in front of the bookshelf, flipping through the books intently.
"Senior brother." Su Xian walked forward, and in order not to disturb others, his voice was as low as a mosquito.
Zuo Yueyao chuckled: "No need to speak so quietly, there aren't many people here now." He found the book he wanted and pointed to the desk not far away: "Let's go, sit over there and talk."
There was a rectangular table. As soon as Su Xian sat down, he thought of the broken square table in the village committee office. He wondered if it was still in use.
"What's the matter?" Zuo Yueyao actually found Su Xian in a daze and knocked on the table: "You came to me just to be in a daze?"
"Oh, no." Su Xian put the bag in front of him: "Well, someone asked me to give it to you."
"What is it?" Zuo Yueyao took a quick glance and then returned his gaze to Su Xian.
Su Xian encouraged himself to stay calm and not panic: "I don't know."
"have no idea?"
Su Xian's heart was trembling: "Maybe it's a love letter or something like that."
"Are you starting to be a matchmaker?"
"no."
"who?"
"Chen Biyu."
"who?"
Su Xian gritted his teeth and said, "In the same class."
"Why did you give it to me?"
"She likes you and questioned our relationship. In order to protect me, Lu Xiran said that I was your cousin." Su Xian confessed very readily. Anyway, he didn't intend to lie in front of him. Two years ago, his family's assets were turned upside down, so there was no need to lie now.
"cousin?"
"hold head high."
The paper bag was pushed back to her: "Take it back and give it back to her."
Su Xian was confused. It was difficult for her to send him off, and what was going on with this? While she was hesitating, she heard Zuo Yueyao's cold tone: "Fill the hole you dug yourself. By the way, tell her that I have no intention of falling in love."
Su Xian suddenly thought of the mysterious person named He Xinwan who had not yet appeared.
