"Another childhood sweetheart." Jiang Biyun glanced at He Zhilan and pursed her lips, her tone couldn’t be more sour.
Chen Xiting didn’t bother to question it, he just looked at Jiang Biyun and Gu En curiously, then quickly climbed into bed to rest while he still had time.
"By the way, where are you guys gathering for tonight’s activity?" Gu En looked up from her food and asked the others.
"The small auditorium." He Zhilan responded.
"I’m at the basketball court!" Chen Xiting felt a little regretful, "I won’t be with you guys!"
"I’m also in the small auditorium!" Gu En was even more satisfied, thinking that this must have been arranged by Lin Deng intentionally.
"What about you two, Wang Bingbing and Huang Cai?" Chen Xiting turned to ask the two others who seemed as invisible as air.
The two reclining there responded that Huang Cai was also in the small auditorium, while Wang Bingbing was neither in the small auditorium nor the basketball court but elsewhere.
Since the small auditorium was a bit far from the dormitory, seeing that it was almost time, those heading to the small auditorium set off together.
The four of them, He Zhilan, Gu En, Jiang Biyun, and Huang Cai, although they left together, once they were out of the dormitory building, it turned into Gu En pulling He Zhilan and walking ahead, their voices booming in good spirits. Huang Cai and Jiang Biyun were two steps behind but not speaking, creating an awkward atmosphere.
When they arrived at the small auditorium, many people were already there. Tan Heqian was waiting at the entrance for He Zhilan and Jiang Biyun. As for Gu En, she saw Lin Deng and immediately left He Zhilan aside, running towards Lin Deng before pouncing on him from behind.
"Hey!" Gu En hung from Lin Deng’s back like a monkey, her hands firmly gripping him. Seeing Lin Deng instinctively try to steady her for fear that she would fall, she cackled with glee, "Lin Deng, why didn’t you throw me to the ground? I remember once a kid hugged you from behind at home, and you threw him right off."
Gu En knew that this was an instinct of being a soldier, to be alert and vigilant.
It was only after Gu En was securely on the ground that Lin Deng helplessly said, "In this world, only you, Miss Gu, would dare to jump on me from behind."
At the entrance, Jiang Biyun watched Gu En and Lin Deng’s interactions with envy, "Childhood sweethearts, so spoiled~I’m so envious! Why didn’t my father know to foster a childhood sweetheart for me?"
"Exactly!" On this point, Tan Heqian completely agreed, "Look at our instructor, during the day he waves his whip around and it’s terrifying, but when he meets his childhood sweetheart, he’s all radiant smiles."
"Just like an older boy next door!" Chen Xiting chimed in.
At these words, Jiang Biyun fell silent for two seconds before frantically shaking He Zhilan’s arm, clearly showcasing her envy, jealousy, and bitterness.
Before anyone could go on, Lin Deng had already blown the whistle to gather everyone.
All the tables and chairs in the auditorium had been cleared away, neatly stacked in a corner. He Zhilan only glanced once; seeing the orderliness, she guessed that it must have been done by the instructors like Lin Deng.
"It’s just a day of training. All of you, don’t look at me with those puppy eyes. It makes me feel like I’m a dog trainer. Come on, everyone give me a smile! The one who looks the best, and who has the loudest laugh, I’ll consider giving a friendly discount for tomorrow’s training!"
