Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Military Training Performance

"Could it be because the air conditioner is set too low?"

As he spoke, Sun Lingming stood up, grabbed the remote from the table, and turned the air conditioner’s temperature up quite a bit.

...

"Alright, let’s not talk about him anymore. Let’s go back."

"Let’s just skip this afternoon’s military training too!"

Gu Yifan said.

"Mm-hm."

Su Qinghe nodded obediently.

Then, Gu Yifan started the car and drove off...

...

「At 6:30 in the afternoon.」

Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe were sitting face-to-face at the dining table in the small courtyard.

Su Qinghe was ladling soup for Gu Yifan like a newlywed wife, while Gu Yifan looked at the dishes on the table with a pleasant surprise.

Because the bitter melon he had been eating for nearly half a month was finally gone!

That’s right!

It was really gone!

"Wh-what’s wrong?"

Seeing Gu Yifan suddenly smile, Su Qinghe asked softly, a little confused.

"It’s nothing!"

Gu Yifan replied casually. After a moment’s thought, he asked with some curiosity, "Um... Su Hanhan, why isn’t there any bitter melon today?"

"Huh?"

Su Qinghe froze for a moment.

Something suddenly occurred to her, and her face turned a faint shade of red as she whispered, "We’ve been eating it for too many days. We’re... taking a break from it for now."

"Oh, okay."

Gu Yifan didn’t suspect anything and simply nodded lightly.

...

「In the blink of an eye, it was the last day of military training.」

Today was the military training review performance. The school leadership and military commanders would be in attendance, so all freshmen were required to participate.

Naturally, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe were also called back to attend.

「8:10 in the morning.」

The entire grand sports field was already a sea of people.

The freshmen from every school had all gathered here, so it was naturally much more crowded than when they were spread out for training.

Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe had been absent from military training, and the designated spot for each class’s formation had also changed.

He first found Bao Baijie and the other girls, asking them to take Su Qinghe to their class’s spot. Only then did he slowly and unhurriedly find his own class’s location.

The moment Gu Yifan arrived at his class’s formation, Peng Shaoqiang, Wang Shouyi, and the others crowded around him, exclaiming with shock, "Whoa, Brother Fan, you’re awesome!"

"Hm?"

Gu Yifan was a bit baffled.

"It’s so early in the morning. What’s wrong with you guys? Did you take the wrong medicine?" he asked, puzzled.

The guys sneakily huddled close and whispered in Gu Yifan’s ear, "Brother Fan, stop pretending. We all know!"

"What? What am I pretending about?"

Gu Yifan said, looking speechless.

"Uh..."

Peng Shaoqiang and the others exchanged a look, then Wang Shouyi whispered, "It’s... it’s about that instructor!

The day before yesterday, someone posted on the forum that the instructor for Financial Management, Class One, was kicked by a freshman so hard he coughed up blood!"

"Yeah!"

"They even included a blurry photo. Even though the picture was fuzzy and you couldn’t see the face clearly, we could still tell it was you, Brother Fan!"

"Besides, I remember that Sister-in-law Qinghe is in Financial Management, Class One, right?"

He Dongdong, who was standing to the side, also chimed in quietly.

Hearing this, Gu Yifan’s brow furrowed slightly.

’Didn’t they say the whole thing was suppressed and not allowed to spread? How is it still on the forum?’

’That Old Sun isn’t very reliable,’

Gu Yifan muttered under his breath.

"Old Fan, that was you, wasn’t it?"

Peng Shaoqiang also asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, it was me!"

Gu Yifan didn’t hide it and admitted it directly.

"Holy shit!"

"It really was you!"

"I knew it had to be Brother Fan!"

the guys said, getting excited.

"Is that forum post still up? Let me see!"

Gu Yifan thought for a moment before asking, "Also, how many people know about this?"

"It’s gone!"

Wang Shouyi shook his head. "The post was up for less than half an hour before it was deleted. The user’s account was even banned!"

"Yeah!"

"At first, a lot of people were talking about it, but then all the messages disappeared!"

"We only dared to be sure because we saw the photo and recognized you, plus our counselor said you’d taken leave from military training for the past two days!"

"Other people probably don’t know it was you, unless they were there and saw it happen!"

He Dongdong said.

"I see."

Gu Yifan nodded, silently taking back his earlier complaint about Old Sun.

"Hey, Old Fan, what happened that day? Did you really kick the instructor so hard he coughed up blood?"

Peng Shaoqiang asked quietly from the side, full of curiosity.

Wang Shouyi and He Dongdong also looked at Gu Yifan with curiosity, waiting for his answer.

"No!"

"He was faking it!"

Gu Yifan said, shaking his head.

"I knew it!"

"How could one kick send someone flying over ten meters and make them cough up blood!"

"If that were real, how much force would that take!"

Peng Shaoqiang said, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Brother Fan, what happened that day?"

Young Master B Wang Shouyi asked again.

"Nothing much. The guy was just asking for it!"

Gu Yifan replied nonchalantly.

"Uh... asking for it?"

"Details, details!"

the guys said, their faces full of curiosity.

"There’s nothing to tell, it’s over! The school doesn’t want anyone talking about it, so let’s just leave it at that!"

Gu Yifan didn’t want to elaborate, so he casually made up an excuse.

"Huh?"

"But..."

Seeing that Gu Yifan was unwilling to say more, and considering the previously deleted forum posts, it did prove that the school really didn’t want the incident to spread.

He Dongdong was Gu Yifan’s die-hard fan, so he naturally sided with him. He said, "Alright, if the school doesn’t want us to talk about it, then let’s just drop it!"

"TWEET—TWEET TWEET TWEET—"

A series of sharp whistle blows rang out.

"All class instructors, organize your class formations immediately and maintain order on the field!"

"The military training review is about to begin!"

At the same time, a powerful and resonant voice echoed across the entire sports field.

"TWEET—"

"Attention, everyone!"

"Stand at attention!"

...

The procedure for the military training review was more or less the same. Having already gone through it once in his previous life, Gu Yifan had no interest in it and just slacked off with the rest of the crowd the whole time.

After all, with so many people, his presence or absence would make no difference!

This continued until 10:30 in the morning.

The military training review finally ended. Next up were speeches from the school leadership, followed by speeches from the military commanders. It was mostly just official jargon, nothing worth listening to.

Gu Yifan was even less interested in this. He scanned the crowd, searching for Su Qinghe.

’Let’s see if I can find her and sneak away with her!’

’The sun is so strong. Instead of staying here listening to this nonsense, we might as well go back to the small courtyard to eat watermelon and enjoy the air conditioning!’

Hm?

Gu Yifan’s gaze suddenly froze.

He saw a face in the crowd, one he couldn’t possibly be more familiar with, appear in his line of sight...
