When Xia Zhiyi returned to his team, the instructors had just given the students a fifteen-minute break. As soon as he approached, before he could even speak, he heard several girls talking about him under the shade of a nearby tree.
" Xia Zhiyi is so handsome! He's like a male lead in a movie, so amazing!"
"Yeah, yeah, I was stunned when he sparred with the instructor just now!"
" Xia Zhiyi just left with the head instructor, right? Where did he go?"
"I don't know."
"He's so good, there shouldn't be too much to worry about. Besides, it was the instructor who initiated the competition, so even if he loses, it won't be because Xia Zhiyi too good."
Whispering, whispering.
Some people are genuinely worried that Xia Zhiyi will be bullied. After all, everyone is different, and if one of the instructors is a sore loser and deliberately makes things difficult for Xia Zhiyi, it will be really hard for her as a student.
Then someone called out, " Teacher Xia! You're back!"
Xia Zhiyi paused slightly in her steps.
He looked at his roommate, who was waving at him, with a hint of helplessness, " Lin Li, don't shout."
While many people do call him " Teacher Xia" like netizens do, in real life, peers mostly address him by his name, and the " Teacher Xia " title is more of a joke.
Lin Li used to call him by his name, but now he suddenly calls him Teacher Xia, which is obviously just teasing him.
Lin Li was Xia Zhiyi's roommate and the only one in dormitory 302 who was in the same class as Xia Zhiyi, so the two were assigned to the same place for military training.
His shout drew everyone's attention to Xia Zhiyi. Several boys stood up, smiling, and came over to greet Xia Zhiyi: "Wow, Xia Zhiyi, the instructor called you over for something, right?"
Their words naturally included Xia Zhiyi in their camp.
Judging from this, if Xia Zhiyi is bullied or mistreated by the instructors, they will stand up to them.
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "No, we just chatted for a bit, and he asked about my teacher."
Upon hearing this, the tall, burly boys exchanged glances, none of them doubting it.
Lin Li leaned closer and asked, "Did you say so?"
Xia Zhiyi: "I said so."
He was talking about his experiences at a Daoist temple when he was young, but as for his real master...
If they can really help him find it, Xia Zhiyi will have to thank them in return.
Xia Zhiyi's natural and easygoing attitude easily won everyone's favor, so several boys surrounded Xia Zhiyi and asked her a lot of questions.
Xia Zhiyi answered them one by one. Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, the fact that he answered made the person who asked feel valued, and they liked Xia Zhiyi even more for a moment.
Several girls tentatively joined the conversation, but Xia Zhiyi remained unmoved. So when the instructors returned from their conversation with the instructors from the next camp and were about to continue training, they saw their students gathered in a circle, listening to Xia Zhiyi recount the interesting stories of martial arts training.
Instructor: "Yo ho."
The students seemed a bit awkward at first, but in just a short while, they looked like they had become one big group and were getting along very well!
Xia Zhiyi was the first to see the instructor. Just as she was about to stand up, she saw the instructor's smile vanish, and he picked up his whistle and blew it. "Assemble!"
Everyone:!
oops!
I was really enjoying it!
But when the instructor said to assemble, everyone had no choice but to obediently stand up and stand in the pre-arranged queue.
In the following days, Xia Zhiyi's life was peaceful and regular.
Training during the day, handling some trivial matters in the evenings, and occasionally being called up by the instructors for emergency assembly in the middle of the night—it's quite fulfilling in a way.
Xu Chen came over with a professional photographer halfway through the trip, greeted the school and the instructors, took a few photos of Xia Zhiyi, and then left in a hurry.
The students didn't notice, assuming it was a photographer arranged by the school. The head instructor, who only knew a few things, later took the opportunity to ask Xia Zhiyi a couple of questions.
Xia Zhiyi: "I've signed a contract with Tianhuan."
The head instructor didn't know what kind of company Tianhuan was. After asking around and learning that it was an entertainment agency, he exclaimed in surprise, "You want to become a star?"
Xia Zhiyi blinked and nodded. "Yes, my dream is to be an actress."
The head instructor hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
The head instructor found it somewhat tricky.
The head instructor pondered for a long time.
Head Instructor: "Then why don't you apply to a film academy? Your grades are excellent, aren't they?"
Xia Zhiyi looked completely innocent. "I only had this idea after I received my acceptance letter."
So it's too late.
Head Instructor: "..."
The head instructor was exasperated. "With your skills, why do you need to be a celebrity! Even if you don't want to do this information security stuff anymore, you can still enlist. We really welcome talent like you!"
Xia Zhiyi: "I also really like my current major."
Head Instructor: "Huh?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "For now, I'll focus on my studies. That job is just a part-time job for now. If I don't have the talent for acting, I can always find a job based on my major later."
As he spoke, he flashed a bright, dazzling smile, "Anyway, I'm still young."
Head Instructor: "..."
The head instructor waved his hand, signaling him to go back first.
He was heartbroken.
He didn't want to talk to Xia Zhiyi for the time being.
Such a promising talent, and he seemed to excel academically, which would have been beneficial to the country if he had mastered his major. That's why he never considered poaching him.
As a result, he studied a major he couldn't understand, but what he really wanted to do was become an actor.
Head Instructor: I don't understand.
But young people always have a lot of ideas. Although he doesn't understand, he doesn't necessarily want to drag people to places he thinks are good.
It's a heart attack.
Isn't this a waste of talent?
*
A month of military training can feel both fast and slow.
Xia Zhiyi followed the whole process and didn't fall behind the class just because of her good skills. She was not only very popular in her class, but also a very popular figure throughout University A.
The reason is simple.
He's a good person.
When I see someone on the street who needs help, I don't hesitate at all. My attitude is very kind, and I'm good-looking too. Just seeing him smile at me makes my whole day better. Who wouldn't like that?
Even if there are a few individuals who dislike him for personal reasons, they won't say anything in front of Xia Zhiyi.
The main reason is that Xia Zhiyi's fighting skills have already been proven by the instructors. Most people don't have that level of skill, so bullies who pick on the weak and fear the strong will naturally avoid Xia Zhiyi, who seems like a well-behaved boy.
Hmm, she looks very well-behaved.
But I could take on ten of them with one punch.
The day after the performance, Xia Zhiyi and her classmates saw the instructors off, but the head instructor secretly pulled her away again.
The head instructor said, " Xiao Xia, I'll send someone to pick you up in a few days, so don't go home yet."
Xia Zhiyi:...
