Chapter 223: The Beautiful Teacher
Before it ended, there was a drill performance.
The drill performance mainly involved formation marching, with all students from each class forming units and passing by the reviewing stand in succession.
As they passed the reviewing stand, they had to march smartly.
It was pretty much like a military parade, accepting the review of school leaders and several military officers.
Although Luo Ziling often took leave and did not participate in military training, he performed quite well during the drill performance. As the leader of the column, his marching was even better than the instructor leading them.
After the drill performance concluded, military training also officially ended.
Tomorrow is September 30th.
Tomorrow morning, there will be a military training summary meeting, and in the afternoon, each class will gather in their respective classrooms to announce the new semester’s arrangements before the National Day holiday begins.
After nearly a month of grueling military training, all the students had lost weight and become tanner, all except Luo Ziling.
Because Luo Ziling often took leave and did not attend military training, he received quite a lot of opinions from Cao Jianhui and others, especially when they saw that Luo Ziling still looked fair and delicate. What was more infuriating was that Luo Ziling was set as an example, as he executed every movement perfectly and was often used as a positive teaching material by the instructors.
Because he was often praised by the instructors, at the end of military training, he was awarded “Outstanding Military Trainee.”
“Boss, this is too much. How could a student like you be named an outstanding military trainee?” After the drill performance, when they returned to the dorm, Cao Jianhui complained bitterly to Luo Ziling, “Is there no justice left? We’ve been out in the wind and sun every day, almost turning into Africans; while you, hardly ever seen on the training field, how can you be rated as outstanding?”
“Exactly, exactly,” the other two guys expressed their shared resentment.
“Even if I never participate in training, I perform better than you guys. This is the difference, an innate one, you know?” Luo Ziling said with an air of arrogance. “And even if I never attended a day of class, my academic performance would still be better than yours.”
His self-praise met with collective disdain from the three roommates.
Everyone was tired, so after washing their faces, they lay down on their beds.
The four of them lay in bed, shooting the breeze about everything under the sun, when there was a knock at the door.
As the door was softly knocked, no one heard it; all four were lying there talking loudly, drowning out the sound of the knocking.
Soon, the knocking grew louder.
“Someone’s knocking?” Luo Ziling was the first to react.
“Boss, you go open the door. I’m dead tired,” Cao Jianhui instructed Luo Ziling. “You look not the least bit weary, so hurry up and open it.”
“It’s definitely not for me,” Luo Ziling did not get up. “It must be for you guys; you open it yourselves.”
At this moment, a quite pleasant female voice came through: “Is anyone in there?”
The woman’s voice was accompanied by a more forceful knocking.
As soon as they heard it was a woman knocking, Cao Jianhui, who had just been complaining of being tired, sprang up from his bed and rushed to open the door at lightning speed.
The two guys in the top bunk also quickly scrambled down from the bed and dashed to the door.
Seeing their reaction, Luo Ziling sat up, surprised.
“What’s the matter with you guys?” he couldn’t help but want to laugh.
At the sound of a woman’s voice, the three guys were scrambling to open the door. How amusing.
Cao Jianhui opened the door.
As soon as he did, he was stunned on the spot.
The other two guys also froze when they saw who was standing outside.
Seeing the three roommates standing there motionless and silent, Luo Ziling curiously got up and peeked his head out the door.
At first glance, he was stunned as well.
Standing at the door was a very beautiful woman.
All four hormone-driven guys were instantly mesmerized.
Cao Jianhui was the worst, his mouth gaping open, drool even flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Out of the four, Luo Ziling was the first to recover his senses. He went over, took Cao Jianhui—who had drool reaching his chin and didn’t think to wipe it—to one side, and asked politely, “Excuse me, who are you looking for?”
He felt embarrassed for his roommate.
The beautiful woman had already glanced over the four of them several times when the door opened, and finally her gaze landed on Luo Ziling, with an incredulous look of surprise on her face. She looked at Luo Ziling and asked, opening her rosy lips, “Excuse me, which one of you is Luo Ziling?”
She was very beautiful, with a voice that was quite pleasant to hear.
“I am,” Luo Ziling’s face turned a little red, but he still politely asked another question, “May I ask who you are?”
“I’m Chen Wanqing, I teach you English,” the pretty woman smiled at Luo Ziling, revealing teeth as lovely as scallops, “I need to talk to you, can you come out for a moment?”
Seeing how all the boys had lost their composure upon seeing her gave her a bit of a thrill.
Chen Wanqing’s smile was enticing, almost soul-snatching, even triggering Luo Ziling, who had seen plenty of beautiful women, to feel his heartbeat quicken.
Looking at the three classmates still not fully recovered by his side, Luo Ziling asked Chen Wanqing shyly, “Miss Chen, are you only looking for me?”
Chen Wanqing nodded and replied with her unusually soothing voice, “Yes, just come with me for a moment.”
“Alright then!” Luo Ziling agreed and immediately followed Chen Wanqing out.
“Damn it,” watching Luo Ziling walk away with Chen Wanqing for a while, Cao Jianhui finally came to his senses and couldn’t help exclaiming, “Damn it, it’s outrageous. Why do the beauties always look for him?”
Wu Longjiang looked sorrowful, touching his face marked with a few pimples, and uttered dejectedly, “I’m good-looking too, and my English grades are great. With such good grades and looks, why can’t the pretty teacher see me?”
“Please,” Cao Jianhui seriously examined Wu Longjiang’s face, which could hardly be considered handsome, and said with scorn, “With your looks, you dare to compare to the Boss? Better check yourself in the mirror!”
Wu Longjiang suffered another blow.
