At night, in the girlsâ dormitory, Room 306, Gu Muxi lay on her bed in a cute pink nightgown, her white legs swinging back and forth. She was humming a tune, in a very good mood.
Chen Jiajia came out of the bathroom and asked with a smile, âXixi, why are you so happy today? Did you find money outside?â
âDo I? Am I that happy? No, I donât think so!â Gu Muxiâs cheeks reddened as she denied it three times in a row.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chen Jiajia walked to her bed, leaned on the bunk above, and teased, âDeny it all you want, but your tail is almost wagging up to the sky.â
âIs it because you went out with Yi Feng today? Are you happy?â
Gu Muxi suddenly sat up from the bed, about to make an excuse, but knowing that any excuse would be feeble in front of Chen Jiajia, she admitted with flushed cheeks, âYes, of course, Iâm happy!â
âEw, feels like I just ate a big mouthful of dog food,â Chen Jiajia joked.
Ding Ying then curiously asked, âXixi, Jiajia said you and Yi Feng have been childhood sweethearts, growing up together from primary school to university, donât you guys find each other too familiar?â
âI havenât even spent that much time with my brother!â
After pondering for a moment, Gu Muxi replied, âIndeed⦠sometimes it feels too familiar, Iâm even embarrassed to take off his clothes.â
Chen Jiajia: â!!!â(?Ð?ã)ãï¼ï¼ï¼â
Ding Ying: âΣ(?д?lll)ï¼ï¼ï¼â
Su Xiaomei exclaimed in astonishment, âMy God, Xixi, have you guys progressed to that step already? Thatâs fast!â
Hearing the implication in their words, Gu Muxi felt her cheeks burning and glared at the three, âWhat are you thinking? Canât you keep some green thoughts in your minds?â
âI meant last time he got drunk, and his clothes were all vomited on, it was me who took off his clothes.â
âOh, I seeâ¦â the three of them said in unison, their expressions clearly not convinced.
âHey, Xixi, weâre all adults and college students here, we understand. Adults do adult things, hehe!â Su Xiaomei giggled behind her hand.
âWhat adult things? What are you thinking about! Really!â Gu Muxiâs cheeks reddened to the root of her neck.
âOf course, making love!â the three said in unison.
Gu Muxi: âo(////â½////)q! No, thatâs not it!â
âHa ha! Alright, letâs not tease you. But seriously, Xixi, what do you like about your boyfriend? What makes you like him so much?â Ding Ying asked, curious since she hadnât seen what Yi Feng looked like.
Gu Muxi tapped her chin with one hand and said, âThere are so many good points?â
âHuh??!!â The three were bewildered.
âCough cough, I mean, tall, a bit taller than most guys, a bit handsomer, and⦠a bit richer? But whether itâs his strengths or flaws, I like them all!â Gu Muxi clarified.
âThatâs just a tall, rich, and handsome guy, isnât it?â Ding Ying was amazed, imagining a stereotypical wealthy playboy, clad in Armani, wearing OâConnell leather shoes, puffing on a cigar, a gold watch on his wrist, exuding an aura of money.
Is Gu Muxi into this type?
âKind of, but not entirely,â Gu Muxi giggled.
Chen Jiajia covered her mouth and laughed, âWhat tall, rich, and handsome. Yi Feng was quite the trickster in high school, but heâs a really good person.â
âXixi, arenât you worried he might be snatched away by someone else?â
âIâm not worried at all,â Gu Muxi stated confidently.
Chen Jiajia teased, âWith your temperament, only Yi Feng can tolerate you. Anyone else would have run away. I advise you, women should be gentle and soft, thatâs what men like.â
Gu Muxi paused, âGentle? What does that even mean?â
Chen Jiajia: ââ¦â¦â
âCough cough, letâs use the word âladylikeâ instead. Understand? Speaking softly, moving gracefully, being demure around men. Try it, I bet Yi Feng will definitely like you better when youâre gentle.â
Chen Jiajia spoke with conviction.
âReally?â Gu Muxi was skeptical.
âTrust me, Iâm a woman whoâs watched eighteen romance dramas!â Chen Jiajia boasted like an expert.
âShould I try it tomorrow?â Gu Muxi hesitated.
âAbsolutely, you should show a more feminine side to Yi Feng, make him irresistibly attracted to you!â Chen Jiajia nodded seriously, âDonât worry, Iâll guide you through it, no problem!â
âAh? Guide? What kind of guide are you?â Gu Muxi was startled.
Chen Jiajia flicked her hair confidently, âOf course, the guide for the Gentle Lady Plan!â
âThen I want to be the assistant guide!â Ding Ying excitedly raised her hand.
âIf sheâs the assistant guide, Iâll be the second assistant guide, or âSecond Guideâ for short. Donât worry, Iâll guide you strictly!â Su Xiaomei said solemnly.
Gu Muxi facepalmed, wondering how she got roped into another plan. Jiajia really was obsessed with planning!
But what they said made some sense. Didnât the gentle heroines in dramas always end up the most popular?
Chen Jiajia, hands on the railing, declared solemnly, âXixi, the Gentle Lady Plan starts now!â
â¦
The next day, South China University of Science and Technology finally welcomed the first day of military training for new students.
As expected, during military training, the sun was always scorching, and it would pour rain whenever it was time to restâ¦
Facing the morning sun, over two thousand freshmen gathered on the football field, all dressed in military camouflage, forming impressive squares, a magnificent sight.
In Computer Science Class 1, Yi Feng yawned; he had been busy finishing up the server for the 361 software until 1 a.m., and was woken up by the urgent assembly whistle at 6 a.m.
âBrother Feng, look at your dark circles. Take care of yourself!â Ke Pudgy expressed his concern.
âItâs okay, Iâm used to it,â Yi Feng laughed.
âHow can you get used to that? Itâs easy to become kidney deficient! As the saying goes, âa little pleasure is fine, too much hurts the body, and overdoing it leads to disaster!'â Ke Yizhou said seriously.
Yi Feng: ââ¦â¦â
âDamn, Yizhou, youâre the one heading for disaster!â
Yang Jian came over, full of anticipation, âDid you hear? Someone posted on the forum, the new campus belle is from the Architecture department, and sheâs majoring in Architectural Design!â
âMy God, the Architecture School is mostly male, the new campus belle being so pretty is like a sheep among wolves, surrounded by predators!â
Yi Feng pulled a face, thinking to himself, itâs not always clear whoâs the sheep and whoâs the wolfâ¦
âBrother Feng, arenât you thinking of chasing the new campus belle? Looks tough,â Yang Jian sighed.
âHey, hey, quiet, the class advisor is coming!â Ke Yizhou quickly warned.
The advisor for Class 1 was the vice professor of computer science, Song Kangwen.
The advisor was usually stern and serious, his gaze especially intimidating, always with a stern face, earning him the nickname âBlack Demon Kingâ from the students, though they usually just called him âOld Class.â
His presence immediately silenced the class.
Leadership speeches at military training were inevitable, long and tedious, droning on for over an hour. With the training officersâ whistles blowing in unison, military training officially began.
The first training exercise was to run three laps, which is three kilometers, with the entire class running together, not too fast or lagging behind, to foster a sense of team spirit.
Three kilometers wasnât long, but many were sprawled on the ground exhausted afterwards.
Then there was a half-hour rest.
Meanwhile, in Architecture Design Class 1, Gu Muxi and Chen Jiajia had just finished running. The latter was panting heavily, while Gu Muxi seemed relaxed and effortless, not red or out of breath.
âIs it that tiring?â Gu Muxi laughed.
âWho, who thinks theyâre like you?â Chen Jiajia rolled her eyes at her.
Suddenly, about seven or eight boys ran over,
âClassmate Gu, are you thirsty? Have some water!â
âDrink mine, drink mine, mine is salty soda! It can replenish your salt!â
âDrink mine, mine is Jienlibao!â
â¦
For a moment, a group of boys surrounded her, chattering nonstop.
Then, Zhu Shanhai coughed, âWhatâs going on here, break it up.â
Zhu Shanhai, sent by the student union to supervise order, was a senior. The new students, still somewhat in awe of seniors, dispersed.
Zhu Shanhai walked up to Gu Muxi, grinning, âclassmate Gu, why not⦠drink my salty soda instead, itâs a new flavor!â
He pulled out the salty soda from behind, âSurprise!â
The crowd: â???â
Everyone internally called him shameless.
Gu Muxi: ââ¦â¦â
âNo need, thank you, senior.â
âAh, you must be thirsty after running so long, come on, take it.â Zhu Shanhai tried to grab Gu Muxiâs hand.
Chen Jiajia glared, thinking, bad move, donât reach out!
The next moment, Gu Muxi grabbed his arm, followed by a shoulder throw!
âBang!â
Zhu Shanhai was slammed heavily onto the ground, the area suddenly silent!
The crowd was dumbfounded, stunned!
