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

Lin Chuan stood in front of the door of the house across the street and knocked. As expected, there was no response. He then tried calling on his phone, but no one answered. It was switched off? Had he accidentally turned off his phone while playing on it?

That seems a bit exaggerated.

Lin Chuan had no choice but to take out his key and open the door. He hadn't been inside Chen Xiyu's house for the past few days. The living room was still quite empty, but there was a pleasant scent of sandalwood wafting from somewhere.

A blanket had been added to the large leather sofa, with half of it lying directly on the floor.

Lin Chuan picked up the blanket casually, walked to Chen Xiyu's room, knocked on the door, and called out, "Get up."

After a while, there was a sound in the room, and then the door opened, revealing a girl standing behind it wearing a loose-fitting slip dress, looking somewhat drowsy.

"Are you still half asleep?" Lin Chuan asked.

"I'm awake," Chen Xiyu said, but her sleepy appearance made it hard to believe.

Lin Chuan said "Oh," and subconsciously glanced into the room, but because the curtains were drawn and it was dark, he couldn't see anything.

Chen Xiyu blocked his way, saying, "Don't look into women's rooms."

"Hehe, that's not what you said when you asked me to make your bed," Lin Chuan said.

"This is different," Chen Xiyu said.

"Then why aren't you going to wash up? What? Are you going to stand here and chat some more?" Lin Chuan said.

Chen Xiyu closed the door behind her and ran into the bathroom. After a while, the sound of running water came from inside.

"What time is it?" Chen Xiyu's voice came from the restroom.

"Five o'clock." Lin Chuan sat on the sofa and glanced at his phone.

He had already guessed that she might oversleep, so he came early. Otherwise, if he came right on time, he would have to wait for her to wash up and take the bus, which would make him late for the training exercise.

A dozen minutes later, Chen Xiyu came out of the restroom. For a girl, this time had passed quickly. She had already changed into her military training uniform, and her face was still wet with water droplets.

After quickly checking the contents of his backpack, Chen Xiyu didn't forget to ask, "What do you need to bring for the training trip?"

"Didn't you see the class group notification at all?" Lin Chuan said. "Bringing a bottle of water is fine. The homeroom teacher has already prepared some Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and the like. I'll bring it with me."

Chen Xiyu stuffed a water bottle into her backpack. "Let's go."

Lin Chuan got up and followed him out the door. As they went downstairs, he still asked, "Why was your phone off when I called?"

"Because I forgot to charge my phone yesterday while I was using it."

What time do you go to bed?

"a little."

"Your schedule is nothing like that of a first-year high school student," Lin Chuan said, somewhat speechless.

Chen Xiyu chuckled.

The two arrived at the school gate by car at just over six o'clock. There was still almost half an hour before the assembly. Although they arrived early, they could already see Uncle Wang's breakfast stall. After buying breakfast from Uncle Wang, the two headed straight for the playground.

By the time we got to the playground, we had just finished breakfast.

Seeing that Instructor Liu hadn't arrived yet, Lin Chuan walked to his class's location and called out, "Class, gather together." The students who were still chatting began to assemble.

"Line up according to the military training formation," Lin Chuan said again.

During military training, he often covered for Instructor Liu and was also the squad leader, so no one had any objections to his commands.

Looking at the neatly arranged queue, they said, "Count off."

"1, 2, 3..."

Lin Chuan listened to the count and confirmed that everyone had arrived. At this moment, the instructor and class teacher Xue Rencai walked over together.

"Teacher Xue, Instructor Liu, everyone in Class 5 is here," Lin Chuan said.

"Hmm." Instructor Liu nodded.

"Lin Chuan, come here for a second." Xue Ren beckoned to him.

After Lin Chuan walked over, Xue Ren handed over some backpacks. "These contain some basic emergency medicines. Of course, the instructors will also prepare some, but our class should also prepare some, since there are many of us."

"Okay." Lin Chuan nodded, took the bag (it was quite heavy), and put it into his backpack.

"If it's a field training exercise, you're the squad leader, so pay extra attention." Xue Ren gave a few more instructions as usual, although Instructor Liu had said similar things last night.

Lin Chuan only returned to the formation after Instructor Liu called out. It was exactly six o'clock, and the sky was already beginning to lighten.

The head instructor blew the whistle to signal the start, and the students from the first class walked out of the playground first, followed by the other classes in order, like a long dragon, as they walked out of the school and headed in the designated direction.

This time, Lin Chuan was still the class leader, walking at the front of the class line, but Cheng Xue was no longer by his side. This was because the field training was not a regular training exercise, so there were basically no requirements for the formation.

As long as everyone stays in their own classroom, it's fine. Some people might walk up to their friends and chat as they go. As long as you don't wander around to different classrooms or shout, the instructors won't interfere.

Wang Xu and his friends gathered together and chatted. Of course, this was only at the beginning, when everyone still had the energy to chat.

After walking for several tens of minutes, everyone began to feel tired, and sweat began to appear on their foreheads. Wang Xu had already started wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. By the time it had been almost an hour, sweat was dripping down everyone's faces, as if it were raining.

Wang Xu couldn't help but walk up to his deskmate and ask, "Old Lin, how far have we gone?"

Lin Chuan turned his head and looked around to confirm their location. "About six kilometers away."

"Huh? We've only gone that far?" Wang Xu looked utterly hopeless. "I can't take it anymore, I'm going to die. Can I quit now?"

Lin Chuan stopped arguing with him, slowed down, glanced back, and confirmed that no one in the class had fallen behind, nor were there any students who seemed to have problems.

He had just shouted, "Instructor Liu told me to tell everyone that if you feel unwell or can't hold on, just say so."

"Eh."

"Okay, class monitor." The student's reply was fragmented, lacking the enthusiasm of someone fresh out of school.

"Can I rest then?" Wang Xu asked quickly.

"No way, you can still complain to me like this, you must still have a lot of energy," Lin Chuan said.

"Old Lin, you've become Instructor Lin now," Wang Xu said, his face contorted with tears.

"I don't mind you calling me that now," Lin Chuan said.

If he remembered correctly, their training plan was to walk half a circle around the school, then walk a circle around the municipal park, and finally circle back to the school.

After walking for about ten kilometers, some students in the group started to get tired and couldn't walk anymore. At this point, the instructors would ask them to drop out and wait for the shuttle bus, or simply to rest for a while before continuing.

Although many people complained of being tired, very few actually fell behind. Everyone was walking diligently, and when they occasionally encountered elementary school students passing by, they would go over and greet them warmly.
