There are too many grievances and angers in He Zhilan’s heart. But it’s no use, even if she were to die from anger, Gu En would still exist. Thus, He Zhilan couldn’t muster any energy to feel these emotions anymore.
Jiang Biyun agreed, "You don’t know how amazingly fit Lin Deng is. Today we went mountain climbing, I was exhausted halfway through, but he could actually carry me on his back all the way up to the top and back down the mountain!"
"How much do you weigh?" Zhilan patted the petite figure of Jiang Biyun, who was similar in size to her own, "Lin Deng is about to graduate from military school. If he can’t even carry you, how is he going to perform his duties after graduation?"
"Anyway, I need to work on my own fitness. I can’t embarrass him when we go out. Zhilan, your brother is also a soldier, so you can’t embarrass him either. Starting from tomorrow, both you and Chen Xiting, don’t pretend to be asleep, I know you’re not asleep! At half past six in the morning, you two are going to go running with me for an hour!"
"Oh my god, mercy please, I haven’t even said anything!" Chen Xiting cried out from the side. If you know her, she loves to eat and sleep, and she’s lazy to the bone.
When they woke up the next day to go exercise, Gu En, who had been missing for several days, finally came back to the dormitory. However, her current appearance was a bit disastrous.
She stunk of cigarettes, alcohol and overlaid with the scent of her perfume. Her makeup a complete mess on her face and her hair, a crazy bird’s nest on top of her head. As she walked through the door, her steps were still a little shaky. Clearly, she had drunk a lot last night, so much so, it’s possible she had continued drinking until now before staggering back to the dormitory.
"That’s it! He Zhilan, Wang Bingbing and I are going to work out with you. You three should wait for the two of us!"
Gu En’s sudden return, in this state, was enough to throw Huang Cai and Wang Bingbing into a panic. The two brushed their teeth, washed their faces, and followed He Zhilan out of the dormitory as if running for their lives.
"It scared me to death!" Huang Cai kept patting her chest, saying, "Looking at her like that, if we did or said anything against her when we stayed in the dormitory, we would probably be cursed to death."
"Enough already, we probably would get cursed to death by her just for breathing too loud or stomping a bit. I’d rather exercise and run until I’m out of breath than staying alone in the dorm with her!" Wang Bingbing said.
Jiang Biyun laughed, "She is indeed terrifying right now! Look at you two, she couldn’t possibly eat you, right? If she’s not comfortable, she should move to another dormitory! Anyway, early exercise is always a good thing."
With five people as company, they chatted while running, taking breaks in between, and surprisingly, they didn’t feel tired. After the run, the five of them went together to the dining hall for breakfast before returning to the dormitory.
Gu En was already fast asleep when the five of them returned to the dormitory. She lay in bed, her clothes unchanged, and her face unwashed, causing great surprise among the five of them. Where did she look anything like a girl from a prestigious family? She was more like a street urchin.
She treated school like it didn’t matter, using her dormitory like it was a hotel. Once she returned to college, all she did was sleep and didn’t bother going to class.
Tan Heqian looked a little excited when he saw He Zhilan early in the morning. He dropped his bag and ran towards her, "My mom said if you’re free, come to the capital in a few days to meet us and my future sister-in-law. My mom and dad also said if it’s possible, they would like you to come to our house for the New Year’s celebration!"
