At lunchtime, Lin Ran intercepted the five girls at the cafeteria entrance, and they were indeed together.

The leader was a girl named Wang Ya, who was Sun Xiaoyu's roommate.

"Lin Ran, we..." Wang Ya tried to explain.

"Two o'clock in the afternoon, on the east side of the playground," Lin Ran interrupted her, his tone calm.

"The instructor said we'll have extra practice this afternoon, and I'll stay with you."

The girls looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Does Sun Xiaoyu know about this?" Lin Ran suddenly asked.

Wang Ya's eyes darted away: "It has nothing to do with Xiaoyu..."

Lin Ran nodded and didn't ask any further questions: "Two o'clock, don't be late."

He turned to leave, and Wang Ya whispered behind him, "Thank you, class monitor."

Lynn waved his hand, didn't look back, and left.

At 2 p.m., five girls appeared on time, each holding an A4 sheet of paper covered with writing.

Lin Ran watched as the group approached and led them to the east side of the playground.

"Stand at attention for half an hour, and repeat the steps of marching in step 100 times."

"A hundred times?!" a girl exclaimed.

Lin Ran looked at them and said, "What? Training or absenteeism? The choice is yours."

The girls fell silent and quietly began practicing more.

Halfway through the training, Sun Xiaoyu arrived with several bottles of water, which she distributed to everyone.

"I'll help supervise," he said to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran glanced at her: "No need."

"I told them not to come today," Sun Xiaoyu stated directly. "It was my fault, I should take responsibility."

Lin Ran glanced at him with some surprise, but seeing her frank gaze, she found this matter rather interesting.

"Then you count for them," he said. "One hundred times for each person. If you're one short, you run laps for them."

Sun Xiaoyu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."

As the sun set, the supplementary training ended, and the instructors came to check on us.

Although the five girls were clumsy in their movements, they were serious in their attitude and wrote sincere apology letters.

"Regular training tomorrow."

Hearing this, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way back, Sun Xiaoyu and Lin Ran walked at the very back.

"I'm sorry about what happened today," Sun Xiaoyu said.

Lin Ran waved his hand: "Try a different approach next time, so as not to implicate the whole class."

There won't be a next time.

Lin Ran smiled and didn't say anything more.

I thought to myself, if you weren't a woman, I would have slapped you across the face long ago.

-----------------

Shen Weiyang lived in an apartment she rented off-campus.

The room was decorated in a uniform gray and white color scheme, with gray walls, a white table, and an iron-framed bed. The only thing that made people feel warm was the off-white sofa.

Shen Weiyang changed out of the suit skirt she usually wore at school and put on a beige knitted cardigan. Her short hair was loose and slightly wavy, which added a lot of femininity.

Those who know her well would never recognize her as the student council president who always dressed in a gender-neutral style at school.

The doorbell rang three times, two long and one short.

Shen Weiyang's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile as she got up and opened the door.

Huang Lingyue slipped in, carrying a box of chestnut cake, Shen Weiyang's favorite.

Today she gave up her high ponytail, letting her long hair fall casually over her shoulders. She looked less aggressive than usual, and instead showed a youthful vibrancy that was appropriate for her age.

"What? Are you trying to bribe me?" Shen Weiyang took the cake and smiled at Huang Lingyue.

"It's to show my respect to my dearest cousin."

Huang Lingyue skillfully changed into slippers, casually tossed her bag aside, crossed her legs, and sank into the soft sofa, letting out a comfortable sigh.

Only with Shen Weiyang would she show a hint of relaxation.

Perhaps because of their similar personalities, the two cousins ​​have always had a good relationship since childhood.

"Go ahead and say it, why are you being so attentive?" Shen Weiyang took a bite of the cake and placed it on the coffee table.

Huang Lingyue took out a contract from her bag, which was Ye Li's copy, and handed it to Shen Weiyang.

"Here it is." She reached for a cushion and hugged it to her chest.

"A zombie contract has tied up a talent I value."

Shen Weiyang quickly glanced through the contract, her brows furrowing slightly.

"I know about the Dawn Project. It was a public welfare project of the student union two years ago, but it has long been shelved."

"The terms are crude and the intention to bind is obvious. These kinds of zombie projects are the most troublesome. The person in charge has long since graduated, and now no one is in charge, and no one dares to sign off on getting out of trouble."

Shen Weiyang looked up at Huang Lingyue.

"Is it worth going to such lengths for Ye Li? You have very discerning taste."

Huang Lingyue nodded.

"I've seen her designs; they're very inspired."

Huang Lingyue winked at Shen Weiyang, then snuggled closer, speaking to her in a slightly coquettish tone:

"Sis~ You're the best! Please help me, Lin Ran's team is just missing this person."

"I know you're the best at this, subtle and insidious, killing without a trace... oh no, I mean solving problems without a trace."

Shen Weiyang glared at her, annoyed: "Don't give me that."

"Every time you call me 'sister' like that, it's never a good thing."

Shen Weiyang suddenly asked, "Yueyue, if Lin Ran doesn't agree to go to the movies with you, will you still come to me for help?"

Huang Lingyue answered without hesitation: "Yes."

"I will do anything he needs me to do."

Shen Weiyang sighed, and the image of the little girl who secretly cried under the table because she lost the competition involuntarily came to mind.

"Yueyue, is it worth all this trouble and effort for that Lin Ran?"

Huang Lingyue remained silent for a moment before speaking, her voice clear and firm.

"Sis, I know what I'm doing. Lin Ran is special, and his rules are different from those of the people around him..."

"Getting close to him was my own choice, and no matter the outcome, I don't regret it."

Shen Weiyang turned her head to look at her: "But from what I see, he treats you..."

"I know he doesn't have those feelings for me," Huang Lingyue interrupted Shen Weiyang.

She raised her head, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"But that's okay, what I want has never been given to me by others."

"I will walk to his side myself, to a place where he must see me."

Shen Weiyang looked at the familiar stubbornness in her eyes, until all attempts to persuade her were futile. This cousin of hers had always been so headstrong that not even nine oxen could pull her back.

"Whatever you want."

Shen Weiyang gently ruffled her hair, her voice filled with affection: "Just don't hurt yourself... Leave the contract to me, take care of yourself."

Huang Lingyue flashed a bright smile: "I knew my cousin was the best! Do you need me to cooperate?"

Shen Weiyang pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "We can't force this, but we can package Ye Li as an extremely outstanding student whose career development is limited due to historical issues..."

At this moment, Lin Ran was discussing the details of the app with Ye Li and Tang Chen's teams in an empty classroom.

The two acted quickly, each assembling a small team.

Ye Li brought two female classmates, while Tang Chen found five or six people here and there.

Lin Ran didn't want to wait for Ye Li's contract issues to be resolved before slowly starting to build the app; he planned to start the first wave of activities after the military training ended.

"Make the breasts a little bigger...yes, just like that..."

"Make the font bigger...and cooler, preferably the kind that glows..."

Tang Chen listened to Lin Ran's lewd words, looked up at the man and three women sitting in front of the laptop opposite him, and was speechless.

When Lin Ran returned to his dormitory that night, he found that dormitory 509 across the street was in a mess.

"What happened?"

Ding Facai waved his hand: "Fourth brother, you didn't see it. A freshman who looks like a lizard demon went to 509 to cause trouble."

Lin Ran was stunned: "Holy crap, they really came?"

"What, you know Lao Si?" Ding Fa looked at him with some confusion.

"I didn't know you. What happened next?"

"Hey, don't even mention it. This guy is like a lunatic. He kicked open the door to 509 and started yelling that his 'cow's itchy.' You can find all sorts of birds in a big forest."

Lin Ran grinned, able to picture the scene.

"And then what?"

"Just then, Niu Liang had a seizure. He replied that he was the only one in the dormitory with the surname Niu, and then he started convulsing."

"And then? That lizard demon knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging Niu Liangyou not to die..."
