Chapter 215

No matter how the people around looked at her and gossiped, Qin Wei remained indifferent, standing in line with a sullen face.

"My sister doesn't smile when she's really an ice beauty..."

"Wearing a training uniform without makeup can't cover up her rich and noble temperament..."

"She didn't even take off her makeup, the instructor can't control her..."

"The instructor didn't say that, otherwise she would have been punished to run laps long ago... And how could my makeup not smudge after sweating all afternoon? Where's your brain?"

"Wow, why are there still fans here..."

A fierce voice belonging to Instructor Zheng rang out from the crowd. At that moment, he was holding a loudspeaker, amplifying his loud voice:

"Whenever you're done gossiping, we can go in and eat. I'm not in a hurry, please continue."

After traveling in the morning and going through some twists and turns, training tirelessly in the afternoon, everyone was hungry now. As soon as they heard Instructor Zheng's words, they obediently shut up.

Qin Wei breathed a sigh of relief as peace and quiet finally arrived.

The peace and quiet lasted only a minute.

Instructor Zheng lifted the loudspeaker again:

"Come on, let's shout slogans and sing songs before we eat, then line up to serve food."

After shouting slogans and singing songs, Qin Wei swallowed, not understanding why eating had to be so complicated.

But fortunately Instructor Zheng did not make it difficult for them. Everyone lined up and entered the canteen one by one.

After taking a tray at the door, the line moved slowly. When it was finally Qin Wei's turn, the sight of the food made her eyes shine brightly - chicken strips, braised pork, vegetable dumpling soup, oyster leaf lettuce, pine nut corn, and fried taro slices!

What was this? This was two meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, and one soup!

Qin Wei carried her tray to her seat.

When she picked up her chopsticks, Qin Wei was excited. There were six pieces of braised pork in her tray, each with appetizing color and nicely interspersed fat and lean parts.

Usually, she wouldn't even qualify to eat a single piece, but today she could have six pieces all to herself!!

Without Li Yao restricting her or Qiao Sixiao scolding her, she could finally eat braised pork!

This must be heaven!

The girl sitting next to her whispered:

"Is it just me...or does the celebrity seem to be smiling at her tray..."

Qin Wei picked up her chopsticks and grabbed the biggest of the six pieces.

"Put your chopsticks down! Why are you so special?"

Instructor Zheng Qiancheng yelled, startling Qin Wei. She fumbled and the braised pork rolled off her tray, running away as if it had grown legs.

Qin Wei watched the braised pork tumbling away until it disappeared from sight.

"Wow...the big star is formidable...Instructor Zheng scolded her a bit and she immediately turned black-faced..."

"She's treating this place like the entertainment industry...Everyone has to flatter her?" There were more whispers around her, but Qin Wei was in no mood for that right now. She was so hungry that she was about to lose control.

The instructors had them all stand up and took turns giving long speeches that never seemed to end.

Some of the students in the canteen looked at the food in their trays, while others consciously or unconsciously glanced at Qin Wei.

It had to be said, seeing her in person without the lens was still quite attractive. She had always been called an iceberg beauty, and it seemed true now.

Her whole body radiated an aura of arrogance, aloofness, and keep out.

"Start eating!"

At the order, everyone finally picked up their chopsticks and sat down to gobble up their food.

What a pity to lose that piece of meat!

Qin Wei ate the remaining five pieces with tears in her eyes.

The meat was fatty but not greasy, melting in the mouth, with a perfect combination of salty and sweet.

Military life was still pretty good!

Except there were Song Huan and Zheng Qiancheng.

...

After the meal, she thought she could go back to the dormitory for a bath and rest, for leisure time. But her hopes were in vain. Reality was still continuing training.

Everyone lined up and returned to the training ground. Instructor Zheng said that intense exercise should be avoided after meals, so let's practice stopping and turning first!

The so-called stopping and turning meant listening to commands like left turn and right turn, which was not difficult in itself. But one had to pay careful attention to orders, or it would be easy to make mistakes while walking.

After Instructor Zheng demonstrated once, he said:

"I'll call out commands next, and you do them yourselves. Instructor Song will watch over you. Ten push-ups for each mistake."

It sounded easy but was hard to do. With frequent commands, mistakes were inevitable. Song Huan's eyes were fixed on them, hooking her finger whenever someone made a mistake for them to leave the line and do push-ups.

Going back and forth, they practiced like this for an hour, with everyone making several mistakes.

Everyone except Qin Wei.

This surprised Song Huan somewhat.

She didn't seem to have poor obedience. Not only that, she seemed even more focused than others.

This point required reevaluation. Next was marching in step. Usually this was not difficult at all, barely different from normal walking, one just had to pay attention to many details.

Such as the interval, the swinging amplitude of the arms, etc.

But once this kind of walking became deliberate, some people would start staggering.

Fortunately there weren't many staggerers, and most got better after a little practice.

Half an hour later...

"Training ends here, dismissed!"

Instructor Zheng's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Finally there could be rest.

"Zhou Fang, Qin Wei, step out. The rest are dismissed."

Song Huan added.

The two stepped out of line, looking at Instructor Song in confusion.

Song Huan was in no hurry to explain, but instead said:

"Zhou Fang, listen to my command, stand at attention! Forward march!"

One, two, one... This girl was staggering.

"Stand at attention!" Song Huan looked at Qin Wei:

"Out of everyone, you were the only one who didn't make any mistakes. Stay and lead her until she gets it right."

What an unreasonable demand!

Of course Qin Wei refused.

"It's time to get off work now. I need to rest!"

She then turned around to leave.

"Obey orders and listen to instructions."

Song Huan did not stop her, but said:

"Strictly speaking, you belong to the fourth platoon. And I am the instructor for the fourth platoon. I will be the one filling out your training qualification form."

Qin Wei stopped.

If that damned form was marked as "unqualified", she would have to redo military training next year.

Although that had never happened before, who knows with this woman...

Song Huan sneered coldly behind her back and pointed at the cameraman next to her:

"He's filming. Putting on airs in front of the camera, as expected of a big star."

Song Huan's mocking tone annoyed Qin Wei. Calling her "big star" over and over was clearly meant to taunt her.

Although she didn't know the reason, it was obvious she was being targeted.

"Instructor."

Qin Wei gritted her teeth.

"It's only a week anyway, I'll just do it."

A week, really just a week?

Song Huan looked at her and shook her head helplessly. Better not say for now. It would be inappropriate to deprive others of the joy in surprises, right?

"Don't feel like I'm punishing you. If you do well, there will naturally be rewards."

Song Huan said with folded arms:

"Helping comrades is a benevolent act, an extra credit item."

Qin Wei ignored her and walked straight to the girl called Zhou Fang. Like Qin Wei, she also had a sullen face right now.

Qin Wei patiently comforted her:

"I'll teach you, you learn from me, don't worry."

Zhou Fang glanced at her, asking unhappily:

"Should I be very touched and say thank you?"

Qin Wei looked puzzled. "Huh?"

Zhou Fang: "I don't like you at all."

Qin Wei: "???"

Zhou Fang: "Stay away from our little Qiao! You're hindering her development!"

Qin Wei: "......"

Oh, she ran into a die-hard Qiao Sixiao fan.

Note: Staggering is a Northern Chinese term meaning to extend the hand and foot on the same side simultaneously while walking.
