After being reborn, I gained a childhood sweetheart who appeared out of nowhere.

Lin Chuan and the others stood in line at the front of the queue. Liu Hao was standing ramrod straight, looking exceptionally energetic. He didn't want to miss this opportunity to lead the team and gain recognition.

Instructor Liu looked back and forth between the three men. When his gaze fell on Liu Hao, he felt a little excited. But before he could feel happy, his gaze shifted and finally landed on Lin Chuan. "Squad leader, you're the one."

"Oh." Lin Chuan nodded, his expression unchanged.

"One of you is too tall, and the other is a bit too thin. We need to choose someone to represent the class, so the class monitor is more suitable," Instructor Liu said briefly to Wang Guohua and Liu Hao.

The leader of the formation does not need to be the tallest in the team, as long as the height is suitable. There are also requirements for physical appearance. Lin Chuan is just right. He is tall and slender for a boy, and not too thin.

With the training I've been doing, my back is now very straight. I could easily join the national flag team or the honor guard.

"Hey, I also think the class monitor position is suitable," Wang Guohua said with a smile.

Liu Hao didn't know what to say, so he could only sullenly follow Wang Guohua back to the team, leaving Lin Chuan standing there. Instructor Liu glanced at the girls casually and called out two more names, "Chen Xiyu and Cheng Xue, you two step forward."

When the two girls walked ahead, the boys, who had been chattering a bit, quieted down.

Instructor Liu glanced at the two, and their height and appearance were a good match. He then directed them to stand together, since choosing a male and a female team leader meant seeing how they would look standing together.

"You two stand next to the class monitor and observe."

Before Lin Chuan could react, two girls were already standing on either side of him.

"Wow, is Old Lin now surrounded by women on both sides?" Wang Xu exclaimed.

Zhao Jiajia said with a smile, "I think I can already hear the sound of someone's heart breaking."

"The class monitor is treating this like a selection of concubines," another boy said.

Everyone exchanged glances, their faces filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment. How happy they would be if they were standing in the middle! Liu Hao's eyes were so gloomy they could practically drip water.

Instructor Liu looked them over for a while longer before finally deciding, "Cheng Xue, stay. Chen Xiyu, you can go now."

Chen Xiyu simply said "oh" and returned to the queue.

"Starting today, you two will be the team leaders of Class 5, and I will give you some extra training," Instructor Liu said.

"Report," Cheng Xue suddenly said.

"Any other questions?" Instructor Liu asked.

"Can I not be the team leader?" Cheng Xue asked indifferently.

"Reason?" Instructor Liu asked.

Cheng Xue continued to answer, her voice still calm, "There's no reason, I just simply don't want to be one."

Instructor Liu frowned slightly. "Do you think selecting people is child's play? It's decided then and there. Return to the team!"

"Yes." Cheng Xue didn't argue any further and simply returned to her team.

"Squad leader, you're back in the squad too," Instructor Liu said.

Lin Chuan glanced at Cheng Xue and thought to himself that this girl was a bit strange.

During the lunch break, Lin Chuan went to the restroom alone. On his way back, he happened to see Chen Xiyu, who was also coming out of the cafeteria alone.

"Miss Chen, what's wrong? You don't seem very happy?" Lin Chuan asked.

"I'm wondering, why didn't Instructor Liu choose me? Am I that bad?" Chen Xiyu pursed her lips, like a little girl, even though she really was a little girl.

"It shouldn't be," Lin Chuan said.

To be honest, he could actually guess why Instructor Liu chose Cheng Xue instead of Chen Xiyu.

Both of them are definitely fine in terms of appearance and height. If we have to point out a difference, it's that although Chen Xiyu is not very old, she is a girl and is more developed.

With such a great figure, if she were to lead the group in a fitted military training uniform, she would be too conspicuous, which would be counterproductive.

"Then why?" Chen Xiyu asked.

"It's something that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words." Lin Chuan said seriously, "What's up, you want to team up with me?"

Chen Xiyu grinned after hearing this, "You're overthinking it. I'm just unhappy because I felt inferior to someone else."

"I see." Lin Chuan smiled.

"What? Your smile is so lewd," Chen Xiyu said.

"Huh? That's a bit of a personal attack," Lin Chuan said. "I reserve the right to hold you accountable."

When they returned to training, Instructor Liu called out Lin Chuan and Cheng Xue, "Squad leader, Cheng Xue, you two step forward."

The two people stepped out of the line and stood side by side.

"Do you know what a team leader does?" Instructor Liu asked, looking at the two of them.

"Lead the formation forward and ensure the movement of the entire team," Lin Chuan replied. After all, this wasn't his first time participating in military training, but he had never been a team leader before.

"Very good." Instructor Liu nodded. "Besides standard movements, team leaders also need to cultivate observation skills and a sense of responsibility. For example, they need to pay attention to the condition of team members, whether they have fallen behind, are injured or feeling unwell, and adjust the formation or report problems in a timely manner to ensure overall safety."

"You need to learn a few more moves than others, such as changing from marching in step to goose step and saluting, etc... Also, because you are the face of the formation, your movements must be standard, and the two of you must coordinate perfectly."

"Understood," the two replied.

"Now you two march in step for a bit to see how you coordinate," Instructor Liu paused, "and why are you two standing so far apart?"

Lin Chuan was taken aback, only then noticing that Cheng Xue was keeping a certain distance from him. She had done the same when choosing people. After a moment of silence, Cheng Xue could only move a little closer to Lin Chuan.

"Let's begin," Instructor Liu commanded. "Forward... march!"

When the order was given, the two of them walked forward together. They were selected not only because they were among the best in terms of appearance, but also because they had been "model students" in the previous few days of military training, with the most standard movements.

So the simplest marching movements were very standard, but after practicing for a while, Instructor Liu called a stop. He looked at the two of them and said, "Your movements are very standard, but your coordination is not good."

He looked at Cheng Xue, "Is it so hard to chant with me? Why are you always a little slower or faster?"

"I'm sorry, Instructor Liu," Cheng Xue said.

"I don't need to apologize. If you two don't coordinate well, you don't need to participate in the afternoon class training. Just stay here and practice," Instructor Liu said. "Once you've mastered the simplest coordination, then you can lead the team."

"Understood," Cheng Xue replied.

Throughout the afternoon of military training, Lin Chuan and Cheng Xue did not return to the group. They did not practice any extra movements, but focused on practicing marching in step, changing to goose step, and coordinating their movements. They even practiced during other people's rest time.

"Wow, this team leader must be working so hard." Wang Xu sat on the ground, watching the two still practicing, and couldn't help but sigh.

"After all, it's the storefront." Zhao Jiajia stroked her chin. "I must say, these two actually look quite good together when they stand up."

"Yes," Wang Xu paused, "but if they're a good match, what about Chen Xiyu?"

"Oh right, there's only one class monitor, and two girls aren't enough to go around with him," Zhao Jiajia said.

"Sigh, it seems being too popular has its troubles," Wang Xu said.

After an afternoon of extra practice, Instructor Liu looked at the two students' fairly coordinated movements and nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, you two can take a break now." He then turned to look at the other students from Class 5 who were still training.

Hearing this, even Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. This afternoon had been quite intense for him. He immediately sat down on the ground.

Even Cheng Xue, who is usually quite particular, sat down on the ground, wiping the sweat from her forehead, her fair face flushed.

"Cheng Xue," Lin Chuan said.

Cheng Xue turned her head slightly from a distance, looking at him without saying a word, but her eyes seemed to be asking, "What do you want?"

"Do you have a problem with me?" Lin Chuan asked.

Cheng Xue paused noticeably for a moment, but still replied calmly, "No."

"No? Then why did you practice all afternoon with movements that were either too slow or too fast, making it seem like you really didn't want to cooperate with me?" Lin Chuan said, his hands on the ground. "Besides, the reason you gave for not wanting to lead the team was ridiculous. If you didn't want to refuse in the first place, why did you have to refuse again at the beginning? Did you think you might not be chosen?"

In reality, he didn't know why Cheng Xue had a problem with him, but he could easily understand a young girl's thoughts.

Cheng Xue remained silent for a long while before finally speaking slowly, "Yes, I do have a problem with you."

"Why?" Lin Chuan asked.

Although he couldn't be described as universally loved, he and Cheng Xue hadn't exchanged a single word before today. What kind of interaction could they possibly have? Emotions, in general, don't arise out of nowhere.

Even with someone like Liu Hao, who seemed unfriendly, Lin Chuan could see through his ulterior motives and understand why he had a problem with him.

But he couldn't figure out the answer to the person in front of him.

"Don't you remember?" Cheng Xue turned to look at Lin Chuan, her gaze fixed on him.

Lin Chuan was taken aback. Why were there lines like this again? He didn't remember having so many childhood sweethearts.

Moreover, he really had no memory of the icy girl in front of him, neither her appearance nor her name.

Besides, look at her eyes, they're as cold as ice. She doesn't seem like a childhood sweetheart at all. She looks more like a grudge.

"I don't remember, can you remind me?" he asked.

"You don't need to remember, and you don't need to worry about me. I will train hard from now on and won't add any more unnecessary training." After saying that, Cheng Xue turned her head back and stopped talking.

Lin Chuan felt somewhat helpless. He wasn't worried or wanting to condemn, but since he had become the class monitor, he subconsciously asked the question.

But since the other party clearly didn't want to talk about it, he didn't bother to ask.
