Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 41 The Evil Night
A man who isn't a bit of a playboy in his youth has wasted his life!
The soldiers in the barracks are also outstanding young men. Now that so many college girls have come to the barracks, these soldiers naturally want to make a good impression.

Playing musical instruments, singing, wielding swords!

Do everything in our power!
Such a tough guy with a tender heart naturally has a unique charm that is different from that of ordinary boys for young girls who are still innocent and naive.

Of course, if Zhao Rui hadn't intervened, this would probably have been the outcome.

But now, with Zhao Rui as a shining example, the so-called tough guy with a tender heart has lost much of its value.

The bonfire party was only halfway through when the girls from the School of Accounting started urging Zhao Rui to come up and perform.

Zhao Rui naturally objected, but even his counselor Liu Jie joined in the commotion with great interest, and the outcome was predictable.

Zhao Rui had no choice but to stand up and walk to the campfire under the watchful eyes of the students and soldiers.

He said loudly, "I'll sing a song a cappella! Please forgive me if I don't sing well."

After saying that, he took the microphone handed to him by a soldier, cleared his throat slightly, recalled the melody from his previous life, and slowly began to sing!
"Smoke rises, the land stretches northward, and horses neigh..."

With the support of his profound inner energy, the powerful melody roared and howled throughout the camp like a thousand troops!
The song evokes the image of a group of warriors galloping on horseback, charging bravely towards the enemy. Even amidst the raging gunfire and the carnage behind them, nothing can stop their valiant fight.

Originally, everyone thought he would definitely sing some sentimental love songs to make these female college students happy and show off his good looks.

To everyone's surprise, this kid played a song I'd never heard before, yet it was so powerful and exhilarating.

"This kid is getting more and more interesting!"

The battalion commander, who was having tea with Vice Principal Peng not far away, had a glint in his eyes, as if he were staring straight at Zhao Rui through the crowd of people.

"Principal Peng, does your school have any spots for students to transfer to the military...?"

Upon hearing this, Vice Principal Peng quickly chuckled and said, "The child has just started university; his life journey has only just begun! Battalion Commander Sun..."

"I just said it offhand!"

Battalion Commander Sun smiled calmly, as if what he had just said was just a casual remark.

"I am willing to defend our land and expand our territory, so that the glorious China may have people from all directions come to congratulate us!"

The single character "贺" (congratulations) soared into the sky like a dragon, or shone brightly in the heavens, illuminating the world and instantly igniting the passion of everyone present.

The soldiers in these military camps, in particular, felt their blood boiling, and they longed to roar to the heavens, letting this peaceful world know that they were the ones who had fought and bled to protect this beautiful land.

"One more, one more!"

When the song ended, this time, not only did the female students in the academy strongly demand it, but even the soldiers around them joined in the commotion.

Zhao Rui quickly waved his hand and returned to the group amidst the girls' screams.

One moment of being in the limelight is enough; too much of it can lead to aesthetic fatigue!
"Second brother, you're my real brother! You're so handsome!"

As soon as he sat down, Le Bin came over, wrapped his arms around Zhao Rui's neck, and shouted excitedly.

He already had feminine features, and in the dim light of the campfire, he appeared even more charming and effeminate.

This display of force startled Zhao Rui so much that he stumbled and almost pushed him away by force.

I will definitely stay far away from him from now on, and I absolutely cannot spend a lot of time together.

It has nothing to do with gender discrimination or anything like that; it's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and will be attracted to both men and women!

I'll have to suggest he grow a beard another day!

Zhao Rui awkwardly reached out and removed Le Bin's arm, then patted his shoulder and said, "You're also my sister, no, my brother!"

I'll introduce you to my sister another day!

Le Bin chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Don't tell me you have a sister who looks exactly like you?"

Zhao Rui's pupils widened slightly, and he said in astonishment.

"Holy crap, how did you know?!"

This time it was Lebin's turn to be surprised.

"Ugh, this is so boring. How come you're so smart!"

Zhao Rui's cheek muscles twitched slightly. It wasn't because he was smart, but because he had seen this kind of thing in TV dramas in his previous life, and he never expected to actually encounter it now.

He looked at Le Bin's face, and a "bad" image immediately flashed into his mind.

Sin, sin!
It's all the fault of those Japanese for making such a sleazy film.

The lively program continued around the bonfire party until after 8 p.m., when the entire military camp experience activity finally came to an end.

Led by their instructors and teachers, Zhao Rui and the other students walked back to school along the original route, taking advantage of the moonlight.

The journey wasn't exactly "peaceful"; one girl twisted her ankle, another got a leg cramp.

Not only the girls, but several boys also suffered muscle injuries due to the long hike.

Zhao Rui was busy like a military medic, running around doing everything he could. He didn't know if his injuries had improved, but the girl's WeChat account had increased by more than ten times!
At this moment, he had become the soul of the entire team.

The journey was long, and to alleviate fatigue, the team leader suggested that Zhao Rui teach everyone to sing the song "Serve the Country with Utmost Loyalty" as they walked.

Zhao Rui did not refuse. He had loved this song in his previous life, and it would be a joy to teach more people to sing it.

Soon, the long line of students marched towards the brightly lit city amidst loud singing.

Under the cover of night, a gentle breeze blew, and a song was being sung. The summer days, carrying the flavor of youth, blossomed in the melodious tune, merging into an unforgettable chapter of life.

……

The next day, on the huge playground, groups of neatly arranged teams marched past the basketball court.

Although the instructors required the trainees to keep their eyes straight ahead and not look around, it didn't stop them from secretly observing the "world" with their peripheral vision.

In another corner of the "world," five companies were leisurely hiding in the cool shade of trees, drinking mineral water, singing songs, and enjoying themselves.

This contrasted sharply with the sight of them marching in formation under the scorching sun, drenched in sweat.

Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality!

On what grounds?
"Instructor, why don't they ever train?"

During the break, some curious students slipped up to the instructors and asked the question that had been on everyone's mind.

"They won it themselves, supposedly with special approval from the battalion commander and your school leaders!"

"Damn, is this for real?"

"Don't worry, it'll be your turn to leave this afternoon. Maybe you can even get some rest!"

The instructors smiled mischievously. It was said that because of Zhao Rui's "troublemaking," the battalion commander had given an order that if any instructor lost to an ordinary student, all instructors would have to run 20 kilometers with weights on their backs.

"I'm kind of looking forward to it. I heard we'll be running five kilometers this afternoon? Instructor, are you tired?"

"Not tired at all!"

The instructor said casually.

On the playground, the five college teams, led by the School of Accounting, were leisurely enjoying the two hours of rest that Zhao Rui had won for them yesterday.

However, although they can rest, they still need to stay within the playground area, maintain formation, and are not allowed to move around at will.

"Zhao Rui, come here for a second!"

Just after finishing the tea egg handed to him by a girl in his class, Zhao Rui was called over by his counselor, Liu Jie.

“I just asked, and Principal Hao knows you too. With your qualifications, you are perfectly capable of joining the martial arts team.”

Liu Jie spoke softly, her small face glistening with tiny beads of sweat, and a few strands of her hair sticking to her fair cheeks.

"Thank you, teacher!"

"Don't mention it. But since you've chosen our School of Accounting, you can't neglect your major courses."

"I asked for you. You can't change your major in your first year; you can only do it in your second year. But there's no precedent for switching to martial arts. I'll talk to the school about this again." Liu Jie pursed her slightly dry lips and continued.

Seeing this, Zhao Rui quickly bent down, picked up a bottle of mineral water from the side, and handed it over.

Liu Jie didn't stand on ceremony and took the mineral water, drinking it in small sips.

Sunlight streamed through the bright bottle, casting dappled shadows on her face. The soft, downy fuzz resembled the delicate texture of a dandelion seed in spring.

"Go back now. After military training, you'll have to be my squad leader!"

After finishing her water, Liu Jie waved for Zhao Rui to go back.

Hearing her words, Zhao Rui's face fell. He wanted to retort, but Liu Jie glared at him, silencing his words.

Zhao Rui had no choice but to return to the team first.

As for whether or not he should be the class monitor, he'd think about it later; he didn't want to waste his energy on such trivial matters.

However, since the counselor was so enthusiastic, he couldn't refuse too much.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and soon the instructors blew their whistles, summoning all the students who were resting to line up again and begin their "brand new" daily military training routine.

……

In Class 2, Grade 11 at Lincheng No. 1 Middle School, Zhao Ke looked at the bright-eyed, radiant female classmate in front of her and was momentarily speechless.

"What are you looking at? Take it if I give it to you!"

The girl slightly raised her swan-like neck, long and fair, her words domineering yet filled with concern.

He was completely baffled and couldn't recall when he and she had become so close.

"Thank you!"

Zhao Ke took the drink the girl offered and quickly thanked her.

"Don't be so polite with me, your brother and I... we're classmates! But don't get the wrong idea."

Hearing the girl's words, Zhao Ke frowned even more deeply. What do you mean by "thinking dirty thoughts"? I didn't even think about it.

We're not from the same circle!
"We'll be in the same class from now on, so let's encourage each other and study hard. My goal is to get into Dongqi University! Good luck to you too!"

After the girl finished speaking, she passed by him. Her graceful figure was hazy and beautiful in the sunlight shining through the window. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the scent of hyacinths that lingered around her nose.

Wait, Dongqi University, your brother?

Zhao Ke's eyes widened instantly, staring in disbelief at the girl's departing figure.

You want to be my sister-in-law?

His face immediately fell, and he quickly caught up with her, putting the drink back into her slender hand amidst the girl's astonished expression.

"you……"

Watching Zhao Ke run away, the girl frowned slightly, looking puzzled: He's such a strange boy, completely different from Zhao Rui.

hum!

……

On the last day of the first week of military training, the students had already adapted to the high-intensity training.

Some leisure activities have begun to "resume" in an orderly manner.

For example, drinking alcohol, eating barbecue, singing, and playing video games.

On a moonlit night, I met up with a girl and offered her some warmth downstairs!
Zhao Rui has also dated girls, but not from school.

After finishing military training, Zhao Rui took a cold shower in his dormitory, changed his clothes, and then left the school alone.

Not far from the school gate, at the entrance of a snack street, a graceful figure was gently pinching a grilled gluten with her delicate hands, eating it with relish.

"You people of the demonic path also eat roasted gluten?"

Zhao Rui walked over, and the tempting aroma of barbecue made him swallow hard.

After a long day, I was really hungry.

"If we don't eat grilled gluten, are we supposed to eat grilled human flesh?"

The woman glanced at Zhao Rui with her beautiful eyes and said crisply, "We practice the martial arts of the Holy Sect, not the Demonic Path. If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll castrate you!"

"This is a school, can't you be a little more civilized!"

"Why do I see hotels all around the school gate? Are you college students only allowed to do things but not to talk about them?"

"Cough cough!"

Zhao Rui quickly changed the subject, saying, "So, what do you want?"

"I need a boyfriend to accompany me to meet someone."

The woman casually tossed the bamboo skewer she had finished eating onto the ground, and the skewer traced a graceful arc before landing precisely in a trash can five meters away.

"This is a dating app, this is the contact information for a well-known entertainment club in the city, and this is my classmate's contact information."

Zhao Rui fiddled with his phone and placed the screen in front of the woman.

"Don't use this kind of outdated trick. I don't want to be your boyfriend and get myself into trouble!"

"Alright then! Never mind. Come on, show me around. I've never been to university!"

The woman smiled nonchalantly, took out a tissue from her delicate leather pouch, and gently touched her bright red lips, wiping away the crumbs of gluten left at the corners of her mouth.

"That's just how university is. I'm curious, what do you usually do? Do you have a job?"

Seeing the woman walk forward, Zhao Rui paused for a moment and followed her.

"Spend time with men!"

"..."

"Besides spending time with men, what else?"

"Absorb Yang to replenish Yin!"

"..."

Zhao Rui looked at the brightly lit street, pointed to the intersection ahead and said, "Go straight ahead, that's the east gate of our school. Sister Youyou, do you want to go in and have a look around?"

"Huh? How did you know my name is Youyou?"

"Your WeChat name..."

"Oh, what's your name?"

"Zhao Rui!"

Aren't you curious why I stopped you that day?

She gently brushed her hair behind her ear, a gesture that was both soft and free-spirited, quite unlike the indifference she displayed when she spoke.

"Because you were also arresting that person, right?"

Zhao Rui said calmly.

"Okay, school brains really do work! He's a thug, he's already bullied several girls..."

Zhao Rui listened quietly to her cool, minty voice as she recounted the events of the past in the night.

Unhurried and serene.

"The restaurant is just ahead. Would you like to come in and have a seat? I'll treat you to some of our school's food!"

The two strolled leisurely through the campus, like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time, and surprisingly, there was no awkwardness between them.
