Military Training

"Stand at ease."

"Attention!"

"Thirty minutes of Military Stance. If I see anyone move, add five minutes."

Everyone was miserable.

Luo Ye and his three roommates were practically falling asleep.

They had stayed up gaming together last night and, before they knew it, it was four in the morning. Then they had gotten up at six thirty to assemble.

At that moment, they were all completely dazed.

The coach walked through the formation, his sharp eyes scanning every direction.

Suddenly, he frowned.

One boy had his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep.

He could fall asleep while standing?

The coach walked up to the boy.

The people beside him struggled to hold back their laughter.

"This student."

The boy instantly jolted awake and locked eyes with the coach.

"Here!"

Wang Dachui shouted instinctively. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the coach's square face.

What the hell? Wasn't I in bed? Why am I standing in Military Stance?

"Hahahahaha!"

The people around them finally burst out laughing.

But the coach did not laugh.

That meant the consequences would be severe.

The coach remained silent. Slowly, the laughter faded away.

Then the coach smiled.

"It was so funny. Why did everyone stop laughing?"

"Laugh. Hm? Nobody's laughing anymore, right?"

"Add another half hour of Military Stance."

After saying that, the coach turned to Wang Dachui. "This student doesn't seem very awake."

"Go run ten laps around the track. I'll help you wake up."

"Coach, I..."

"Fifteen laps."

"Yes!"

Wang Dachui held his arms up miserably and ran toward the track.

Poor Brother Hammer.

Luo Ye and the other two silently prayed for him.

"Everyone, rest where you are for ten minutes."

Luo Ye immediately collapsed onto the ground.

Pulling an all-nighter and then standing in Military Stance for an hour was too much. He could not take it.

Wang Dachui sat on the ground, questioning his life.

After fifteen laps, he felt like his entire body was floating.

"Brother Hammer, are you okay?"

Luo Ye asked.

Wang Dachui lifted his head blankly and stared at Luo Ye expressionlessly, looking completely wrecked.

Seeing that, Luo Ye panicked and shook Wang Dachui's body.

"Brother Hammer, hang in there."

Wang Dachui did not react at all. He lowered his head, his lips moving.

"Brother Hammer, what did you say? Are you thirsty or hungry?"

Luo Ye pressed his ear close to Wang Dachui's mouth and listened carefully to what he was saying.

"I... want... girls..."

Luo Ye: ???

Suddenly, Wang Dachui saw something that made his eyes go wide.

Luo Ye followed his gaze.

Not far away, a girl was handing Li Haoyang a bottle of Mizone.

"Holy shit!"

Wang Dachui's jaw practically hit the ground, and he instantly perked up.

"That dog son actually picked up girls behind my back."

Wang Dachui made to get up and charge over.

"Brother Hammer, calm down. Don't ruin Brother Haoyang's lifelong happiness."

Luo Ye held Wang Dachui back, only to discover something even more outrageous in another direction.

A group of girls had surrounded Shen Qiao so tightly that not even water could get through.

"Heartthrob, drink mine! I bought peach-flavored Mizone!"

"Heartthrob, I love you!"

"Heartthrob, I want to have your babies!"

The Military Training formation looked like a fan meet, leaving the chief commander of Military Training in the stands utterly stunned.

At the crucial moment, the coach shouted:

"Everyone, get up!"

The formation lined up, and everyone returned to their places.

Luo Ye was in the front row of the formation. He noticed that the girl who had given Li Haoyang Mizone was in the formation opposite them, also in the front row.

She wore a Military Training uniform and had a loli face. She radiated youthful energy and looked very sweet, standing around 170 centimeters tall with a good figure as well.

Long-legged Loli.

That was probably the best way to describe her.

Every now and then, she glanced toward their formation, most likely looking at Li Haoyang.

So girls really did like muscular guys? As expected of Brother Haoyang—on the first day of Military Training, he already had a girl caring about him.

That evening, they moved on to the talent performance segment.

After singing Unity Is Strength a few times, the coach began asking whether anyone had any fresh talents to perform.

"We want to see a duel!"

Wang Dachui pointed at Li Haoyang and said, "Which is stronger, the coach's Military Boxing or our fitness coach's skills?"

Hearing that, everyone became curious and started egging them on.

"Duel!"

"Duel!"

The coach looked at Li Haoyang and shook his head helplessly.

"Since everyone wants to see a duel, this student, stand up."

Again?

Li Haoyang stood up in great distress.

From the classroom to the Military Training formation, he was either being called on or on his way to being called on.

He felt like his college life was doomed. Would teachers keep calling on him in class from now on too?

The two contestants took their positions.

Li Haoyang might have been called muscular, but he was only a little more built than the coach. On top of that, the coach's Military Boxing was already masterful.

In just a few moves, Li Haoyang was sadly taken down by the coach, then returned to his seat with a miserable expression.

"Are you okay?"

The girl who had given Li Haoyang Mizone that morning sat beside him and asked with concern.

"I'm fine."

Li Haoyang waved his hand.

The girl was named Liu Bingxin and came from the multimedia program. The girls' formation trained close to the boys' formation Luo Ye was in, so they rested together in the evening as well.

With girls around, everyone performed with even more enthusiasm.

The two coaches could not help smiling as they watched the newly minted college students display their youthful spirit.

Luo Ye and Wang Dachui sat down beside Li Haoyang too.

As for Shen Qiao, girls filled the space around him. He wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to go.

"Coach."

Wang Dachui said with a grin, "Tell us, how did you meet this beauty?"

Li Haoyang looked at Wang Dachui innocently, not knowing what to say. Liu Bingxin, however, answered openly, "I went to buy water for my roommates this morning, but one of them didn't like Mizone. Li Haoyang looked like he was thirsty, so I sold it to him."

"Oh, so you were selling water. I thought my son was about to get a girlfriend."

Wang Dachui's mood immediately improved.

"What major are you in, miss? I'm Wang Dachui. Nice to meet you."

"My name is Liu Bingxin, Multimedia Class Two. I'm from Lecheng."

"Lecheng? I've heard of your Lecheng Giant Buddha."

Wang Dachui and Liu Bingxin chatted and laughed, with the honest-looking Li Haoyang sitting between them.

Li Haoyang had probably put all his emotional intelligence into his muscles. He looked left and right stupidly, unable to join the conversation, and could only watch them chat longingly.

Luo Ye rested his chin on one hand, watching the boy singing with rapt attention.

Honestly, the singing was average. Luo Ye could sing better than that.

He loved singing. Back in high school, he had at least been a karaoke king.

The image of sheltering from the rain in a tent with Fairy Senior Sister that day flashed through his mind.

Luo Ye unconsciously stood up.

After that boy finished singing, Luo Ye took the microphone.

Wang Dachui, who had been chatting animatedly, was dumbfounded.

"You know how to sing too?"

"One song, Rainy Day. There's no accompaniment for now, so I'll sing it a cappella. Please bear with me."

He took a deep breath.

Luo Ye began softly.

"Suddenly, a rain falls as I wait for you"

"Suddenly, you cry—how many grievances have you endured?"

"I wait, I wait, I think, I think, but I still cannot wait for you"

"If the sky clears, yet the light does not shine upon you"

"I'll take you through the bustling crowd"

Listening to Luo Ye's gentle voice, everyone present became absorbed, even though he was singing a cappella.
