On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

The training was still tough all day long. The training uniform was soaked with sweat again and again, and the soreness in the muscles was layered on and on.

But with the groundwork laid the previous day and the anticipation of the evening's bonfire party, the hardship seemed bearable.

Moreover, military training is not all dull and painful. Sometimes, there will be brief bursts of laughter in the ranks due to a classmate's funny mistake.

Although they quickly suppressed their anger at the instructors' reprimands, the overall atmosphere was no longer as purely deathly and oppressive as it had been the day before.

When the dismissal whistle blew in the evening, announcing "Meet at 6:30 pm for the bonfire party on the east side of the playground," everyone's eyes lit up, and their fatigue seemed to be swept away instantly.

After quickly finishing dinner, washing away the sweat and dust, and changing into clean casual clothes, youthful energy returned to everyone.

6:30 p.m., on the east side of the playground.

As dusk settled, a bonfire was lit, its orange flames leaping and dispelling the chill of the autumn night, illuminating the expectant young faces.

Upbeat music played from the speakers as students from each class sat around the campfire, creating a relaxed yet enthusiastic atmosphere.

Instructor Lei and two other instructors also changed out of their regular uniforms and sat down in casual clothes. Although their posture was still upright, the lines on their faces were noticeably softer.

Tonight's bonfire party is a joint event organized by three classes: an eight-year clinical medicine program, a five-year clinical medicine program, and a basic medical science program. Zhang Ye is the class advisor for all of them, which is why they are all being coordinated together.

This also helps to broaden everyone's social circle.

Class teacher Zhang Ye, acting as the host, walked to the center of the makeshift "stage" by the campfire, clapped his hands, and attracted everyone's attention.

The orange-red flames danced on his face, making his usually gentle features even more approachable.

"Students!" His voice, tinged with laughter, came through the makeshift microphone, "See this bonfire? I hope it, like the warm care of our three instructors, will illuminate tonight and dispel the fatigue you've accumulated over the past two days!"

"The instructors' care is so heartwarming, we can't take it!" The student who shouted this was obviously joking that the instructors during military training had such sharp eyes that they would catch even the slightest mistake or lapse in concentration and give them a good "care"!
This little joke immediately drew knowing chuckles and applause, and even the three instructors sitting to the side had their lips twitch almost imperceptibly.

Teacher Zhang smiled, but then his expression suddenly turned serious as he continued, "Students, for us medical students, clinical practice in hospitals in the future will be like going to war, especially clinical surgery, which is a tough battle. You can't do it without excellent physical fitness and strong mental fortitude."

Military training is our first lesson! Don't underestimate its importance. Even after these two weeks, we must continue to develop good sleep and exercise habits to maintain our fighting spirit!

Upon hearing Zhang Ye's words, the students, who had just been smiling, deeply understood the importance of their future careers.

Those were precious lives controlled by them.

If a patient who could have been saved cannot be saved due to insufficient physical strength, it will leave a serious psychological shadow.

However, tonight is a party, meant to bring joy to everyone.

Zhang Ye wasn't trying to lecture anyone; he was just briefly mentioning it to encourage everyone to take military training more seriously in the future. Seeing that the atmosphere had suddenly become a bit cold, he immediately smiled and said, "But work and rest should be balanced! So tonight, there are no instructors, no reprimands, only friends! Audience! Performers!"
This is your stage! Sing, dance, tell jokes, even a military-style boxing demonstration is fine! The goal is simple—to relax, have fun, and showcase yourself! Anyone want to be the first to come up and add some more 'enthusiasm' to our bonfire?

As soon as Teacher Zhang finished speaking, after a brief moment of shyness and hesitation, the enthusiasm of youth finally overcame fatigue and timidity. A boy from the next class, his face flushed, rushed forward, grabbed the microphone, and belted out a popular rock song. Although he clearly struggled with the high notes and even cracked a bit, his wholehearted, eye-closed, and passionate performance earned him a round of good-natured laughter and encouraging applause.

Once someone started, the atmosphere naturally became lively, and this boldness continued.

The two girls quickly exchanged a glance, whispered something to each other, and then held hands and went on stage to sing a sweet campus song called "Wish". It was a song written by several female college students themselves.

"The lake is your gaze~"

"Dreams fill the sky like stars~"

"Mood is a legend~"

"Waiting eternally~"

"Growing up is like a door made of leaves."

"I had a group of dear people in my childhood..."

The two girls' voices were clear and melodious, their harmony bringing back memories of the beautiful days on campus.

After the song ended, everyone applauded in appreciation.

However, the song was a bit quiet. Immediately after the song, a tall girl walked confidently into the center of the room, said a few words to Liu Ye, and then took out her phone and played a very upbeat piece of music.

She herself immediately started dancing to a popular girl group dance to this upbeat music.

Her movements were incredibly stylish and powerful, with a strong sense of rhythm, instantly igniting the entire venue. Whistles and cheers nearly lifted the night sky.

This reignited the atmosphere that had just quieted down.

Liu Ye was very pleased with the timing of the girl's entrance and praised her a few more times before she left.

This inspired and encouraged even those who were initially hesitant to be brave.

After all, everyone was very tolerant, and the teachers and instructors welcomed everyone to perform their talents. As a result, many people eagerly stepped forward to perform.

Although not every performance was particularly outstanding, they at least kept the lively atmosphere from becoming dull.

The most outrageous thing was that a brave student went up and told a lame joke adapted from an embarrassing incident during military training. Although the "laugh effect" was not great, his courage to tell this under the noses of the three instructors was truly commendable.

Lin Xiaoxiao was itching to sing and shook Su Yuqing's arm vigorously: "Yuqing! You sing so well, go up and sing one! You'll definitely blow them away!"

Zhou Yue chimed in, adding fuel to the fire: "That's right, that's right! It makes our class monitor proud!" (End of Chapter)
