On the second day of military training, it seemed as if the heavens were determined to give the freshmen a harsh lesson.

A scorching sun hung overhead without any obstruction, forcing the ground temperature to a staggering thirty-seven degrees Celsius, and even the air radiated a sweltering heat.

Although the instructors tried their best to arrange training in the shade of trees and buildings, with hundreds of freshmen undergoing military training at the same time, there were simply not enough shady spots to go around.

Thus, the main theme of the day became a constant stream of complaints.

It was at this time that the "foresight" of preparing sunscreen in advance became highly sought after.

As soon as the rest whistle blew, Ouyang Yue couldn't wait to take out sunscreen and carefully apply it to her arms.

This thing not only brings a cool sensation, but it's also a "lifesaver" for keeping your skin fair during military training.

Soon, several unprepared roommates surrounded him, their faces full of envy: "Ouyang, you actually brought sunscreen! Quick, let me borrow some to keep me going!"

"Me too! Me too! I feel like I'm about to be cooked..."

Faced with her classmates' pleading, Ouyang Yue naturally couldn't refuse and generously shared the sunscreen.

"But why did you think of bringing this?" Several girls asked curiously as they applied the product.

"It wasn't her idea; it was given to her by that... guy named Wu Kun!" A roommate blurted out, revealing the truth.

"Is he the guy who knocked Ouyang flying that night at the social gathering?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Good heavens, I thought he was some clueless, clueless straight man. I never expected him to be so thoughtful, even remembering sunscreen!"

The girls chattered excitedly, their eyes filled with gossip and envy.

Ouyang Yue blushed slightly at what was said and lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

Suddenly, someone jokingly teased, "Ouyang, could it be that Wu Kun has a crush on you? Otherwise, why would he be so attentive to you?"

"Huh?" Ouyang Yue was stunned for a moment, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt flustered.

"I think it's very likely! Ouyang, I feel like you're going to find someone in college!"

"Oh dear, don't talk nonsense! He just felt he had hit someone and was using this to apologize. Please don't overthink it!" Ouyang Yue quickly waved her hand to explain, trying to quell the gossip.

Although she vehemently denied it, her heart was pounding like a deer's.

During the subsequent military training, her eyes would involuntarily search for Wu Kun's figure in the crowd.

However, Wu Kun spent most of his time with Lu Yuan and the others, and seemed not to notice her.

……

Everyone thought they would be fine after one day, but on the third day, the temperature was still unbearably hot.

So, a ridiculous scene unfolded under the shade of the tree: several boys gathered together, talking nonsense, with three lit cigarettes, two packs of braised eggs, a pack of salt-baked chicken legs, two oranges, and even a bottle of Want Want milk in front of them.

The group put their hands together and solemnly performed a ritual, devoutly praying for a timely rain from the heavens.

However, superstition is ultimately undesirable.

Despite their best efforts, God didn't reward them with a single drop of rain.

Everyone could only sigh and continue to endure the scorching sun.

The core training program consists of only two parts: stationary turning and military boxing.

The stationary turning method may seem like just a simple left or right turn, but it actually requires a very high level of sense of direction and coordination.

On the training field, several students with poor sense of direction made frequent mistakes, and when it came to marching, they even had a bizarre posture where their hands and feet moved in unison.

The instructor tried everything to persuade him, sweating profusely, but he just couldn't change the way the boy did. He was so angry that he almost needed oxygen on the spot.

Fortunately, the students in Class 1 of the Clothing Engineering program have excellent overall qualities. They helped each other and quickly brought the students who had fallen behind back on track.

During this process, Lu Yuan demonstrated a strong sense of class cohesion.

He always managed to soothe everyone's emotions and calm anxious students with just the right amount of humor and patience, which made even the usually stern instructor take a second look at him, quite satisfied.

On the third day of military training, it was still scorching hot during the day, but thankfully the weather cooperated and a heavy rain fell in the evening, saving us from the evening assembly training.

This can be considered a mercy from God for those students who "set up altars and performed rituals".

On the fourth day of military training, the three classes of clothing engineering gathered together for battlefield first aid training.

Lu Yuan had long forgotten the movements of military boxing, as those were memories from more than ten years ago.

But his knowledge of battlefield first aid was ingrained in his very being.

In his past life, he used this knowledge to successfully save a child who had fallen into the water.

More than a hundred people were sitting on the grass.

The three instructors took out the first aid kit and explained in detail the purpose of each item inside. Then they personally demonstrated the standard procedures for CPR and artificial respiration.

These are things that people usually only see on TV, and they rarely have the opportunity to actually practice them. Now that they have professional guidance, the freshmen have shown great interest.

After the instructor finished demonstrating, he asked everyone to practice together in their dormitories.

Lu Yuan was already very familiar with these procedures, so he took advantage of the instructor's inattention to let his three roommates, Wu Kun and the others, practice first, while he took a break from his busy schedule.

Even if the instructor looks over, he can calmly explain that he is observing his roommate's movements.

The instructors didn't pay much attention to this, but Gu Xingzhou took in the whole scene.

These past few days, Lu Yuan has been stealing the spotlight.

During breaks or meals, everyone liked to swarm around him, which made Gu Xingzhou very unhappy.

He had been lying in wait, looking for an opportunity to embarrass Lu Yuan and deflate his arrogance.

Now, the opportunity has arrived.

Lu Yuan didn't listen attentively at all just now, and now he's slacking off and not practicing. He definitely doesn't know anything about the details and procedures of first aid.

If the instructor does a spot check later, he will definitely embarrass himself in front of everyone and get a severe scolding.

With a plan forming in his mind, Gu Xingzhou's lips curled into a barely perceptible smug smile.

Soon, the free practice time came to an end.

The instructor of Class One walked to the front of the formation and announced loudly, "Now, each class will send two teams up to demonstrate the first aid knowledge we just learned. The class that performs best and most accurately will receive chilled watermelon from the three instructors before afternoon training! As for the class that performs worst... hehe, before afternoon training begins, the whole class will run 400 meters to warm up!"

"Wow, chilled watermelon! This is heavenly treatment on such a hot day!"

"I want to watch the drama unfold, not run! Who's the best at this? Hurry up and show us the gossip!"

"Yes, yes, who's coming?"

The crowd erupted instantly, everyone craving chilled watermelon and avoiding the 400-meter race like the plague.

Even if you don't get first place, getting second place without any reward or punishment is still excellent.

"You have two minutes to decide who to send out." The three instructors looked at the group of spirited freshmen and smiled with satisfaction.

Sure enough, a generous reward will surely attract brave men.

"Brother Yuan, how's your learning going?" The boys all looked at Lu Yuan.

Unbeknownst to them, everyone had developed a blind trust in this class monitor.

Lu Yuan scratched his head and smiled modestly, "It's alright. Didn't any of you learn it?"

"Oops, I got distracted just now and forgot all the steps."

"Hehe, me too, my mind went completely blank."

The boys smiled sheepishly, clearly lacking confidence.

Just then, Gu Xingzhou stepped forward and said with feigned admiration, "Lu Yuan, why don't you go? As the class monitor, if you can't do it, then we have even less of a chance."

Gu Xingzhou had his own agenda: he wanted to see Lu Yuan fail miserably, resulting in the whole class being punished by running 400 meters.

When that happens, everyone will definitely vent their anger on Lu Yuan.

Running 400 meters is nothing to Gu Xingzhou. As long as he can defeat Lu Yuan, what is this price to pay?

"Alright, alright, since everyone says so, I'll give it a try."

Lu Yuan did not shirk his responsibility.

He knew that on such a hot day, if he could win an iced watermelon for the whole class, it would not only cool them down but also completely win them over.

Only then will he truly deserve the title of university class monitor.
