It's the students' fault if they are too popular.

She heard the instructor behind her speaking coldly to someone unknown.

"Everyone, add five minutes."

Everyone is very tired, and adding five minutes is simply exhausting.

But no one dared to protest.

——Except Li Minghe.

A voice was heard from the crowd, not loud but clear:

"Hold."

The air was quieter.

Instructor Wang put his hands behind his back, walked to the source of the sound, and asked calmly:

"Who scolded me?"

He was like a dark cloud ready to burst into fury at any moment.

Li Minghe raised his head and said:

"I cursed."

"Who told you to talk?" Instructor Wang turned hostile almost instantly, walked up to Li Minghe, and said with glaring eyes, "Have you reported it?!"

During military training, you have to report in advance before speaking.

Li Minghe fell silent, but his loose standing posture showed his silent protest.

"Can't stand well?" The instructor sneered, "Get out!"

Then, to everyone's shock, Instructor Wang grabbed Li Minghe's arm and dragged the 1.8-meter-tall boy to the front like a chicken. Even though he struggled hard on the way, he couldn't resist the instructor's strength:

"Then let everyone see how you stand and see if you stand well!"

Li Ming's clothes were disheveled and he was being stared at by the girls in the first row. He felt extremely humiliated.

"Because of him," the instructor stood in front of the first row, pointed at Li Minghe, and then at the whole class, "All of you, stand here for another ten minutes. I'm warning you, don't act in front of me. You're fierce, but I'm fiercer than you."

No one in the class dared to speak.

So hot and thirsty.

Xia Zhi licked his dry lips and felt smoke coming out of his throat.

Some classes had already started to rest, and the group of people sat in the shade, pointing and talking to the classes that were still standing, with pity, ridicule, and comments. Some instructors were fierce, and some were kind. Why did they get such fierce instructors?

Xia Zhi glanced at Teacher Tong who was standing under the shade of a tree reading a book, and immediately understood that this was probably a kind of conservation law?

The military training was fully under the charge of the instructors. Many other class teachers had returned to their offices or dormitories, but Teacher Tong stayed here to accompany them.

"Report."

A girl suddenly spoke. It was Song Zhifei.

The instructor walked over and said, "Speak."

"I'm not feeling well and want to take a rest."

"..." The instructor was silent for a moment, then turned his head to the side, "Okay."

Song Zhifei gave a triumphant smile, sat in the shade, and drank water in big gulps, which made the boys feel extremely unbalanced.

Isn’t it just because you girls have your periods?

Xia Zhi pursed her lips. She felt a slight discomfort in her lower abdomen. Her period was during these few days. She was also very tired and her heels were sore, but not to the point where she couldn't stand it anymore. Moreover, even if she was asked to take a leave to rest, she didn't dare.

The instructor is so fierce, would he be impatient with the second girl who asked for leave and think it was an excuse?

She just stood there and never dared to shout out the word "report".

Suddenly, a hand patted her shoulder.

"Add three more minutes." The instructor said slowly.

Just now, she couldn't hold on, her legs went weak, and her body tilted forward noticeably.

The whole class's attention seemed to be focused on her, because she was the sinner who harmed the whole class.

Xia Zhi's face turned pale and he bit his lip in self-blame.

When the instructor was staring at them, Li Minghe, who was standing in the front, raised his middle finger viciously towards the instructor's back.

Tong Yao saw it, but at this moment, she didn’t know what to do.

Under the scorching sun, the flow of time becomes extremely slow.

Xia Zhi thought absentmindedly, why do they want to roast them into humans?

Instructor Wang glanced at his phone and said without warning:

"Take a break."

The students subconsciously took a step forward with their left foot.

"Rest where you are."

There was no cheering, only a lot of gasping and exhaling. Boys and girls alike ignored the dusty ground and sat down on it. They didn't even have the strength to move to the shade.

After a short break, we went to drink water. Many people had put their cups in the shade, but as the sun rose, the shade was no longer there and all the water was heated to hot water.

Having hot water to drink is better than having no water at all.

And Xia Zhi, among all the Aquarius, was stunned and couldn't find his own Aquarius.

Her water bottle was an empty bottle of Pocari Sweat, which she bought to use as a water bottle because it was not easily deformed. Now it is missing, and it must have been thrown away as garbage.

"What are you looking for?"

A voice, like the clear stream, flowed into the heart.

She suddenly became nervous:

"Teacher Tong, I...my water bottle is missing."

"how is it like?"

"Well...it's just a drink bottle."

"The cleaning lady came over just now and might have taken it away." A gust of wind blew by, and Tong Yao used her hands to block her flowing hair, like a swaying wind chime, and her voice was the voice of the wind chime. She took out her own water cup from her bag and said, "If you are thirsty, you can drink mine first."

Xia Zhi was in a trance for a moment.

Before I knew it, I had taken it.

Teacher Tong’s water cup… is very delicate and small, maybe only 200 milliliters. If you shake it, you can hear the water splashing inside.

The sound of "thump" was like her heartbeat.

"Thank you...thank you Teacher Tong."

For some reason, she didn't dare to drink it in front of Teacher Tong. Instead, she turned around, unscrewed the lid, tilted her head back, and carefully poured it into her mouth.

The water is cold.

On a hot day like this, it's like nectar.

As she was drinking, she suddenly trembled and her lips accidentally touched the rim of the cup. She quickly took the cup away, looked back shyly, and found that Teacher Tong was not looking at her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Teacher Tong..." She covered the cup and said softly, "I've finished drinking it, thank you."

"Yeah." Tong Yao took the cup, put it back in her bag, and continued reading.

Xia Zhi suddenly didn't know what to do.

She squatted quietly, then slowly sat down, glancing to the side, she could see Teacher Tong's serious and elegant face with her head down, her bright black eyes moving as she turned the pages. She lowered her head a little, trying to see the title of the book, but was distressed to find that it was all in English.

CAROL.

She made note of the word middle.

In the hot playground, it seemed that because of Teacher Tong, there was a beautiful place of tranquility and peace.

A few minutes later, the assembly whistle was heard from where the instructor was standing.

"Ah, coming again?"

"I haven't rested enough..."

"Fuck." This was said by Li Minghe.

As a result, this assembly was not about standing at attention.

The instructor brought a quilt from somewhere, spread it on the ground, and said:

"Next, I will teach you how to fold tofu cubes. After lunch break, I will come to check the dormitories. If anyone hasn't folded it well... just wait."

The words were full of threats.

No one dares not to watch it carefully.

While folding the quilt, the instructor told stories about folding quilts in their unit.

A first-year high school student, who has just graduated from junior high school, is actually no different from a third-year junior high school student. He is in awe and curiosity about the instructor.

It takes skill to stack tofu blocks. The instructor’s stacked ones look like neat raw tofu, while the students’ stacked ones look like fried stinky tofu.

After the lesson, the instructor dismissed the group and told them to go to the cafeteria to eat. Tong Yao was also tired, and seeing the time, there was no chance to buy food and cook, so she simply went to the cafeteria to bring lunch for herself and Dong Yang.

Fortunately, Dongyang is not a picky eater.

She went to the staff lunch window and filled two bowls. There was a sign in the cafeteria saying that there was free soup. She turned around and saw a large vat. A student in military uniform was responsible for serving soup to the guests.

——It’s Xia Zhi again.

Is this child a working warrior?

Chapter 150: Distance

At first glance, Tong Yao did not recognize him because the student making the soup was wearing a mask that covered half of his face. She thought he looked familiar and then she realized it was Xia Zhi after taking a few more glances.

"Another part-time job?" She handed the bowl over. "You found two jobs?"

The girl was a little stunned. She noticed that Teacher Tong still had the book between his arms. Then she lowered her head and carefully scooped up a spoonful of kelp soup with pork ribs:

"Ah."

"Oh, thank you." Tong Yao noticed that there was more pork ribs than meat in the dish and thanked her with a smile. It wasn't that she wanted to eat it, but the children at home needed to grow.

"You're welcome..." Xia Zhi said in a low voice.

Before he finished speaking, Tong Yao had already left.

"Hey, Xia Zhi, you're also in charge of making soup?" A classmate had already come over with his food. "Do you make money?"

"……Have."

She didn't hide it and told me a number.

“So little…” The classmate shook his head and gave up the idea.

Xia Zhi lowered his eyes and scooped a piece of pork ribs for his classmate out of favoritism.

"Hey, thank you."

"You're welcome."

She looked at her classmates as they left, then slowly shifted her gaze back.

She was envious.

"Dongyang, I don't know if you like today's food." Tong Yao returned home and said apologetically, "Be sure to finish the soup, it will help you grow taller."

Dong Yang glanced at the dish and smiled:

“I like to eat them all.”
