Chapter 195 Military Training 14
Starting tomorrow, there will be a three-week military training. The counselor reminded everyone of safety and precautions, gave each person two sets of military training uniforms, and then dismissed them.
After Ziyue and Gu Xuanjin returned home, Xingmeng took their military training uniforms to wash and dry, so they didn't need to pack anything.
Knowing in advance that their school had a three-week military training program, Gu Xuanjin had already prepared essential items such as sunscreen and mosquito repellent.
The next day, the school playground was packed with people, all chattering away.
Students from each major lined up together, with one student at the front holding a sign that read the name of their major, so that no one could get lost.
Gu Xuanjin and Ziyue, each carrying a backpack, arrived at the school playground and quickly found their respective major's assembly team.
After the school leaders gave their speeches, students from one major lined up to board the train and enter the carriage.
Ziyue and Gu Xuanjin put their backpacks under their bottoms and sat together.
The journey was incredibly bumpy, as it was a mountain road.
Many students couldn't stand it and started complaining. Some of the weaker students even vomited. So, the air inside the car was really not good.
Fortunately, Ziyue was prepared and pulled Gu Xuanjin to sit near the back of the car, so that at least they could breathe some fresh air.
More than three hours later, they finally arrived at their destination, and the students rushed to get off the bus.
After getting off the bus, the boys and girls from different majors separated. Ziyue and Gu Xuanjin also separated. It seemed that they were not going to have military training together. However, there was nothing that could be done about it. Here, one could only follow orders and commands.
Ziyue and other girls from her major, along with another girl from the economics major, shared a military tent.
The first day was simply about settling into our accommodations and getting familiar with the environment. Then we gathered on the parade ground, introduced ourselves to our military training instructors, and after the instructors announced the rules and some precautions, we were dismissed.
All the grueling training began on the second day.
A whistle blew, breaking the tranquility of the military camp. Ziyue quickly sat up, waking up the other students as well. They got dressed, made their beds, washed up, and ran quickly to the playground.
The instructors were surprised to see such a beautiful girl as the first person to arrive at the playground. They didn't expect that someone would be able to assemble quickly within the allotted time on the first day.
After Ziyue stood in line, more students arrived one after another and quickly lined up in the queue that had been set up the day before.
"Those who are late, run five laps around the track. Quickly line up, hurry up, get in line, listen to my command, get ready, run—go!"
At the command, the late students had no choice but to run wildly across the playground with long faces.
The other students looked at Ziyue gratefully. If it weren't for Ziyue reminding them and waking them up in the morning, they would have overslept and been late for the assembly, and they would be the ones being punished by running now.
Ziyue didn't care whether others were grateful to her; she had only done the job of waking them up incidentally.
Standing at attention, marching, running, target practice, military boxing, sparring, weighted running, red-blue team exercises...
It must be said that this is truly a top-tier university in China; the variety and seriousness of its military training are unmatched by many other schools.
At first, some people kept complaining, but later, the complaints stopped because they were too tired and didn't have the energy to say an extra word each day.
Ziyue, on the other hand, handled it with ease; this level of military training was really nothing to her.
Three weeks of military training passed in the blink of an eye.
The students bid a reluctant farewell to their instructors. The students who had been the most critical of the instructors were also the ones who cried the most at this moment.
Watching the scene of everyone reluctant to part, Ziyue couldn't help but sigh that the military camp was truly a magical and charming place.
It wasn't until they returned to campus and gathered with students from various majors that Ziyue saw Gu Xuanjin again, more than half a month later. His skin seemed a bit darker, and he even seemed to have grown a little taller.
Gu Xuanjin pursed his lips, his dark eyes fixed on Ziyue. He didn't know that they would be separated by gender during military training, and as a result, he hadn't seen Ziyue for more than half a month. This was the first time they had been separated since they met, and for such a long time.
During military training, Gu Xuanjin was gloomy every day. But now, when he was with Ziyue, Gu Xuanjin was still expressionless, but you could clearly feel his good mood. He was as obedient as a big dog that had found its owner.
When the male students in the same major saw this, they couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, there's always someone who can subdue another!"
After the military training ended, the counselor gave a brief speech and then dismissed the students for the holiday.
This year's military training ended just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, resulting in a nine-day holiday plus a weekend, for a total of eleven days.
It's a short holiday, and even students who usually live on campus will take advantage of this holiday to buy tickets to go home.
It's even more convenient for Ziyue and Gu Xuanjin. Qing's parents occasionally go on business trips to other cities, but they spend most of their time in Beijing. Although the two of them don't live on campus, they live in a place not far from the school.
The two left the school and returned to their residence near the school. Ziyue decided to rest for two days before going back to see Qing's parents.
When the two returned home, they went to wash up first, since they felt their clothes and bodies were covered in dust after a long day.
Ziyue took a nice bath, dried her hair, changed into a comfortable, loose-fitting long dress, and went downstairs in slippers.
Xingmeng had already prepared the meal, and the aroma of the food wafted to our noses, making our mouths water.
