"Hmm, let me analyze this for you. If this were ancient times, you’d have to repay a life-saving favor with your own body. I think our dear Instructor Mu really wants to offer himself, don’t you?" Xiao Xiao said with a serious smile.
"Don’t talk nonsense, how could that be possible?" An Ran quickly denied, although Mu Xingfeng had indeed said something like that, she just took it as a joke.
How could anyone order two people to date? And besides, when she thought about facing a cold-faced, expressionless man every day, An Ran felt a chill run down her spine.
"Why not? If he didn’t have any feelings for you, why would he bring you porridge? He knew you drank too much yesterday." Xiao Xiao continued to analyze.
"Maybe he just doesn’t like porridge and gave it to me on a whim."
"On a whim? As far as I know, there wasn’t any porridge in the cafeteria today. The instructors had cucumber and egg soup." After saying that, Xiao Xiao patted An Ran’s shoulder, giving her a "You understand now?" look, and left with her empty tray.
"How could that be? We made everything clear that day." An Ran muttered under her breath and started to clean up her dishes.
Not far away, Guo Xinyi watched the scene between Mu Xingfeng and An Ran, her crimson eyes filled with hatred.
"I heard An Ran saved a team member; maybe Instructor Mu is taking care of her because of that," Sun Beibei said, trying to comfort Guo Xinyi as she kept glaring into the distance.
"Shut up." Guo Xinyi glared viciously at Sun Beibei and stormed out of the cafeteria.
Just a wild girl from the countryside, daring to steal her spotlight.
The afternoon training was relatively simple, just some basic formation exercises and drills.
Mu Xingfeng stood at the front of the team, demonstrating and explaining. Honestly, Mu Xingfeng’s voice was particularly nice, with that uniquely deep and magnetic tone of a man, more pleasing than a broadcaster’s.
An Ran thought that if she could just watch him from a distance as a handsome man out of reach, it wouldn’t be so bad.
If she made another mistake and he scolded her first and foremost, it was hard to imagine that such words would come from a man like him...
"An Ran, what’s the command for military posture?"
Suddenly being called out, An Ran realized she had zoned out. Meeting Mu Xingfeng’s cold gaze, her first instinct was to shrink back, but then she thought, he couldn’t have noticed she was spacing out, maybe it was just a normal question.
Thinking this, An Ran straightened up. Even if she didn’t know the answer, she couldn’t lose in confidence.
Seeing the little girl being called out, her eyes clearly filled with uncertainty, yet putting on a righteous face and sticking out her small chest, as if this posture would make him let her off, Mu Xingfeng found it amusing deep down but still looked at her coldly, waiting for her answer.
An Ran cleared her throat, gathered her courage, and started reciting, "The command for military posture is: heels together, toes apart about... about..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Xiao Xiao beside her. Sure enough, Xiao Xiao flashed a six with her hand.
"About sixty degrees, legs straight, knees slightly pushed back, torso held straight, shoulders slightly back, arms naturally hanging down, hands slightly bent, thumbs touching the index fingers..."
An Ran lifted her hand to check and then continued, "Thumbs touching the second joint of the index fingers, middle fingers touching the seam of the pants, head straight, neck straight, eyes looking forward, chin slightly tucked."
