Today is another sunless day; the mist on the ground has evaporated.
In the open space behind the courtyard, the mud pit had long been filled in. Gu Wancheng and the others were standing at attention, but they slumped over after only a few minutes.
"So tiring, it feels like I'm back in my student days during military training."
"This is so hard to get through!"
"Thank goodness there's no sun, otherwise it would be even more unbearable if my feet felt like they were on fire."
"Ahem, ahem, no whispering, no moving around!" Chen Liqing walked back and forth beside them with a megaphone, his sharp eyes fixed on them.
" Director Chen, are you crazy?" Cheng Yan chuckled.
Chen Liqing's lips twitched. He walked up to him with the megaphone and said in his face, "Please don't speak."
Cheng Yan: "..."
It's hardened, its fists are hardened!
The children, forced to stand at attention at such a young age, slumped on the ground, leaning against their parents' legs, half asleep.
"Ahem, I have something to say next."
"First of all, I'm sure you've all been away from school for a long time and must miss your youth very much, so we're here to help you rediscover your youth!"
Gaa gaa--
It looked like a flock of crows flew overhead, and everyone stared at him with lifeless eyes.
I have a bad feeling.
What's youth all about? Homework?
Chen Liqing continued, "Secondly, the next activity is military training. Yes, you heard right! Military training." He finished speaking with a look of utter surprise and delight.
[My goodness, Director Chen, are you serious?!]
You're really something!
Gu Wancheng suddenly felt dizzy and wanted to faint right then and there. One hand was tightly gripping Bo Yizhou's hand, trembling. Military training? How long ago was that!
"Third, we will practice standing at attention, turning left and right, waving hands and marching, frog jumps, and running—a few very simple exercises."
[Simple, is that right?]
[Haha, it reminds me of standing at attention under the blazing sun; the ground was so hot you could eat an egg cracked on it.]
As soon as he finished speaking, cries of agony filled the air ahead. Chen Liqing smiled with satisfaction; this was exactly the effect he wanted. "You little punk, you dare to mess with me?"
The crowd glared fiercely at the figure in front of them, wishing they could punch him away.
Military training is nothing special for youth! If you like someone so much, why don't you go for it! But this military training program is a bit lacking in content.
Chen Liqing took a step back and cleared his throat. "Stand at attention. Don't move."
Ha, you pretentious jerk, why don't you cough yourself to death?
What kept them going? Oh, it was the penalty for breach of contract.
That damned Chen Liqing.
After standing for five minutes, Gu Wancheng couldn't help but twitch here and there, feeling like ants were crawling all over her body, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Finally, the agonizing ten minutes passed, Gu Wancheng instinctively collapsed, falling onto Bo Yizhou.
He reached out to support him, allowing him to lean steadily against him.
"Wow, I've never been this tired in eight lifetimes. Standing at attention is something most people can't handle." Xu Xiashi lay on Wen Qifeng, wishing a bed would suddenly appear right now.
The kids are completely exhausted; they're practically asleep, clinging to their parents' legs.
Chen Liqing ignored this, grinning like a fool, and said, "Next is left turn, right turn, please stand still."
The group, who had barely managed to relax for a while, stood up straight again with miserable faces.
The children stood up unsteadily, their innocent eyes wide open, waiting for him to speak.
"To the left!"
Gu Wancheng suddenly turned around, only to meet Jian Yue's eyes. She subconsciously thought he had turned to the wrong place, so the two of them quickly turned around again. Gu Wancheng then met Bo Yizhou's eyes again, and turned around again, looking at the back of Jian Yue's head in front of her and letting out a sigh of relief.
The cubs, unable to distinguish left from right, were in complete chaos, bumping into each other until finally, several clumps of cubs appeared on the ground.
Everyone burst into laughter. The children, lying on the ground, were dizzy and hadn't come to their senses yet. They looked up blankly, feeling lost and helpless.
[Ahhh! So cute!]
[Another day where I want to steal a cub!]
[My baby is truly an angel, wiping away tears. jpg]
[So cute, babies, you're like soft, sweet little cakes! screaming (image of a groundhog)]
The group quickly helped them up, and after laughing, they pointed at the culprit.
"Daddy, I think I see stars." Chaochao nestled on Gu Wancheng's lap.
Bo Yizhou couldn't help but smirk, covering his lips with one hand to hide his gloating smile.
Gu Wancheng laughed without any attempt to hide her smile, her eyes curving into a beautiful arc. "It's alright, it'll be fine in a bit."
Chaochao responded listlessly.
" Mi Tu, are you dizzy?" Wen Qifeng asked, holding her in his arms.
Mi Tu blinked, still in a daze and unable to react.
"Brother, let's go put the sack on him." Zuozuo glanced cautiously at Chen Liqing and whispered in Jian Yue's ear.
Jian Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and patted her younger brother's head. "Good idea."
"Count me in." Cheng Yan walked over, trying to join in.
Chen Liqing's face darkened. "Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? Can you please stop plotting so loudly? I can hear you."
[Haha, I hope Zuozuo succeeds, Amen.]
[Go for it! You have to succeed! You can do it!]
Gu Wancheng silently gave a thumbs up after hearing this.
"Ahem, stand up, all of you!" Without giving them time to continue slandering him, Chen Liqing stood before them expressionlessly.
The group immediately stood in position.
"Turn right!"
After several attempts, I was finally able to complete it smoothly, although my reaction time was a bit slow.
Chen Liqing nodded reluctantly. "Next is the hand-waving and stepping exercise. Someone, demonstrate it for them."
A staff member stepped forward. His face was obscured by a mask, but judging from his well-built physique, which was barely concealed by his thin jacket, he didn't seem like an ordinary staff member. Could Chen Liqing have really borrowed a soldier?
[Hmm! This guy looks so manly!]
[Isn't my brother, with his upright character, and me, a girl with an imperial aura, a match made in heaven?]
[Imperial aura? Like little yellow flowers, huh?]
Gu Wancheng glanced suspiciously at Chen Liqing face was all wrinkled from smiling.
After demonstrating it to them several times, he had them do it once.
After several corrections, it's barely passable.
Then, his deep, resonant voice rang out, clearly and distinctly pronouncing, "Turn left!"
The group immediately turned to the left, and the kids almost fell over from the force, but thankfully they managed to stay upright.
The next second, "Forward march!"
[Damn it, this President Bo, what are you doing?!]
Has my aloof and elegant boss been possessed?
[He puts down his glasses, wipes them, puts them back on, and makes a sharp, popping sound.]
This is a speech from an audience member from Qiming Group who just came in.
"Raise your hands." The mysterious staff member was watching closely, correcting anyone who made an incorrect movement.
However, they were much more lenient with the younger children, ignoring all their incorrect actions.
Seeing them brought back memories of military training. Thank goodness I don't have to go through it anymore, that's great! (^▽^)/!
[So this is really a makeover? The lady looks a little darker.]
[Don't let my sister see this, or she'll break down.]
