Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Coquetry Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Coquetry On the other side, Shen Zhaozhao and the three others timed their arrival to the drill field for assembly.
The instructor had already arrived, glanced at the time, and called out to those below, “Communications officer?”
At that moment, Shen Zhaozhao had completely forgotten she was the communications officer. Seeing her dormmates all looking at her, she belatedly realized and promptly shouted, “Here!”
The instructor looked towards her and handed her a roster, “Call the roll and see who’s missing.”
Shen Zhaozhao ran to the front of the formation and began calling names from the roster.
Two minutes later, Shen Zhaozhao held the roster and reported, “Instructor, 31 expected, 31 present.”
“Good, fall back in line!”
Shen Zhaozhao placed the roster aside and returned to the formation.
“Now that everyone is here, let’s begin! Everyone present, look left, look right…”
Other classes had men and women trained separately, but since there were only six girls in their class, the instructor simply had both genders train together.
On the first day of military training, assuming the military stance was inevitable. Only ten minutes had passed when Shen Zhaozhao felt her legs were no longer her own.
She had no idea how she got through the whole afternoon.
Finally, when the instructor said, “Dismissed!”
Shen Zhaozhao felt like her body had fallen apart and she plopped down on the ground.
This was only the first day and she was already this exhausted; thinking about the remaining twenty-three days, she felt utterly disheartened.
The others didn’t fare any better, each looking completely drained.
“Zhaozhao, Zhaozhao…” Suddenly, Shen Zhaozhao felt someone tugging at her sleeve.
Too tired to move, Shen Zhaozhao barely lifted her head and saw a familiar figure walking through the crowd straight towards her.
Sheng Chuyi, dressed in the uniform of military training, stood tall and straight with a belt of the same color cinched around his waist, accentuating his broad shoulders and slender hips, and along the way, he attracted many admiring glances from the girls.
Seeing him, Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but pout and complained, “I’m so tired; I don’t want to move. Why don’t you carry me back?” Her voice was soft and whiny, carrying a hint of grievance, as if she were playfully sulking.
“I always tell you to exercise more, who is the one not listening!” Sheng Chuyi grabbed her hand and pulled her up from the ground.
Meanwhile, Song Ning was so surprised she couldn’t find her jaw, “Zhaozhao, who is this?”
Standing there listlessly, Shen Zhaozhao looked like a boneless creature, “Didn’t you meet him before in the gym? This is my boyfriend, Sheng Chuyi.”
Song Ning’s gaze landed on Sheng Chuyi’s face.
Her boyfriend wasn’t the baby-faced one, but the extremely handsome guy standing beside her?
“Yeah!” Shen Zhaozhao nodded, and then turned to Sheng Chuyi, “Yiyi, these are my roommates, Song Ning, Yu Zhi, Su Yang.”
“Hello.” Sheng Chuyi nodded curtly to them and withdrew his gaze, continuing to address Shen Zhaozhao, “Can you still walk?”
Shen Zhaozhao, “If I say I can’t, would you carry me?”
Sheng Chuyi, “Are you sure?”
Shen Zhaozhao looked around at the crowd sneaking peeks at them, “Never mind, I’ve rested enough, let’s go!” She didn’t want to become the center of attention on the first day of military training.
“What do you want to eat?” Sheng Chuyi asked.
Shen Zhaozhao replied listlessly, “I have no appetite! I don’t want to eat, I want to go back to the dorm and rest.”
Sheng Chuyi frowned slightly.
She was so uninterested that she wouldn’t even consider eating…
