"The instructor is so handsome, so pleasing to the eye. I’d run not just ten laps, but twenty if I could!"Clearly teasing in tone, hearing it made the lieutenant nearby stir with emotion!
The other new recruits in the line all chuckled quietly as they understood...
Shan Mingxu kept a stern face,
"Anyone who laughs will run too!"
Immediately, everyone fell silent.
Liang Fusong placed her hands on her waist, smiling slightly, her sunburned face revealing a different charm than usual.
Before Shan Mingxu could speak, Liang Fusong was already running out with a chant, "One two one!"
After the afternoon drill, the gossip about the female recruits openly flirting with the drill instructor quickly spread...
People said all kinds of things.
During dinner, Lin Xinhong patted Shan Mingxu on the shoulder,
"Impressive, handsome instructor, let me see, how pleasing to the eye?"
"..."
Lin Xinhong had just sat down, and Shan Mingxu was already leaving the table with his tray.
"Hey?"
A call was made on one side, but there was no response from the other.
In the evening, Lin Xinhong followed the gossip to Shan Mingxu’s office, and upon entering, he didn’t get straight to the point; instead, he circled around with a question,
"How about it? Is this room well arranged? Are the tables and chairs comfortable?"
Shan Mingxu leaned back in his chair, his legs stretched over the table corner, seemingly leisurely.
Whatever Lin Xinhong said, Shan Mingxu seemed not to hear it, yawning twice instead.
"If you’re so tired, just go back to the dorm, wash up, and sleep."
"Waiting for someone."
Shan Mingxu, looking somewhat sympathetic, dropped two words to Lin Xinhong.
Lin Xinhong raised his eyebrows, pondering these two words...
"Waiting for someone... Hmm... You wouldn’t be waiting for..."
"Lin Xinhong."
Shan Mingxu suddenly called out to him, this time without his usual princely force, but rather with a touch of gentleness.
Lin Xinhong raised his eyebrows slightly,
"Oh?"
"Liang Fusong’s physical examination, really no problem?"
"..."
Shan Mingxu looked serious, his gaze fixed tightly on Lin Xinhong,
"You should know that joining the troops as a soldier involves heavy physical demands day and night. If you’re just doing me a favor by indulging her little whims..."
"Ming Xu, Liang Fusong is an adult; she can make decisions for herself."
"...she doesn’t understand a damn thing."
Shan Mingxu muttered, turning his head.
Lin Xinhong sighed, shaking his head,
"And yet you say you don’t like her..."
"..."
"With such a big training ground, you as a commander just had to pick the second company, specifically the first squad... Ming Xu, I’m not blind, you know."
"You didn’t tell my parents about Fusong’s situation, did you?"
"The parents asked about Fusong’s situation in the troops, I said she’s doing well."
"So... do they know that my transfer here involves contact with Fusong?"
"Matters within the military region are not something they can manage so closely. There’s a whole lot of soldiers in the troops..."
Shan Mingxu looked at Lin Xinhong earnestly,
"I won’t talk about before, but as for Fusong’s situation, don’t ever gossip about it back home."
Lin Xinhong raised his eyebrows,
"Tsk tsk, you’re not seriously planning on going for an undercover romance in the troop, are you? Then..."
Before finishing the sentence, he was silenced by a look from Shan Mingxu,
"Just promise me."
"Don’t worry. You’re my brother, and Liang Fusong is ultimately an outsider; I know where to draw the line."
"Lie Shaojiang, did my sister ever tell you that you’re really thick-skinned?"
Lin Xinhong crossed his arms and leaned against the table, laughing lightly,
"Do you think I caught your sister by being shy?"
"I thought maybe my sister pitied you, afraid you’d harm others, so she grudgingly married you. What’s this called... oh, sacrificing the self, achieving the greater good."
"..."
Smiling slightly, Lin Xinhong looked at Shan Mingxu and internally noted heavily on his grudge book against him.
"Well, I won’t be an eyesore here anymore. If you need anything, just let me know."
"Mm."
Shan Mingxu responded, and Lin Xinhong left the office.
The major general hadn’t walked long when there was another knock on the door, and Shan Mingxu opened his eyes.
Liang Fusong stood at the door and called out, "Report!"
"Two thousand-word inspection report, already done?"
Liang Fusong chuckled as she walked in, placing the report in front of him, saying,
"Didn’t want to keep the instructor waiting."
"This is the military; what kind of tone are you using with the instructor?"
"What tone am I using, then?"
Shan Mingxu retracted his legs, hands resting on the chair, head slightly raised as he looked at Liang Fusong,
"How many times are you planning to pull such stunts like today?"
"I don’t understand what the instructor is saying."
"What do you take the military for?"
"The military is just the military."
"Liang Fusong, if I wanted you out of here, I could make it happen easily."
Liang Fusong chuckled softly,
"Instructor, rest assured. I know your skills. You can find many reasons to get me out of the troops; I’m not afraid. Before meeting you, I survived on my own, and can do so after."
"..."
Shan Mingxu’s gaze burned as he looked at Liang Fusong.
Ten laps around the track, a two thousand-word inspection...
Such punishment was indeed severe, yet Shan Mingxu didn’t know how to deal with Liang Fusong... This near-revenge-like provocation!
She was clearly getting back at him!
"Liang Fusong, I’ll remind you once more, this is the military, you’d better mind your behavior."
"Instructor, before you came, I was an excellent standout among the new recruits. Why is it that after you came, I became a recruit with behavioral issues?"
"When did you become so sharp-tongued and aggressive?"
In Shan Mingxu’s memory, Liang Fusong’s eyes had character, but her character wasn’t missing softness and gentleness.
"I’ve always been this way."
"..."
"I used to think you liked the gentle type, those who gave you meticulous care, so I pretended to be that way. Who knew... your taste is worse than I imagined."
"You’re still resentful towards me!"
"No."
"You’re lying."
"Instructor, I think it’s you who’s lying."
"..."
"With such a big training ground, why’d you come to me? Late at night, asking for a report?"
Liang Fusong said, stepping forward two steps,
"Shan Mingxu, don’t think too highly of yourself. If you hadn’t come to me, I’d have completely forgotten about the person named Shan Mingxu."
Her expression was cold, her tone equally cold.
Perhaps he was wrong, it wasn’t resentment, she just wasn’t considering herself important anymore.
"Instructor, I’ve submitted the inspection report. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving."
Without waiting for Shan Mingxu’s response, she stepped out of the office.
Her figure was still slender and tall, but... her long hair... was gone.
In the courtyard, on the bench, in the wind floating freely, the soft long hair, was gone.
