Chapter 1136 - The Day of the Military Training

To the dismay of the freshmen of Capital University, it was finally the day of the military training.

This time, the freshmen were separated into two training grounds and they were each given a full set of military training attire, including a military uniform, rubber boots, hat, as well as some daily necessities.

Due to the fact that the prerequisites for the Design course of Capital University were challenging, there was only a small intake of students each year, especially in the Jewelry Design course which was niche. Hence, it would be inconvenient to arrange for transport for the minority. After some discussion made by the head of the school of design, they decided to arrange for the students in Wen Xinya’s cohort to board the same vehicle as the students who majored in History.

The leader tallied the number of passengers and verified the identities of the students with a name list before calling out their respective names and allowing them to board the vehicle.

“Xinya, hurry and come over here. There’s an empty seat.”

As soon as Wen Xinya boarded the vehicle, she heard Ye Feiyu’s voice. She hurriedly looked over to see that Ye Feiyu was waving at her while being seated in the fourth row on the extreme right.

Surprised and glad to see an acquaintance on the vehicle, Wen Xinya frantically walked towards her and asked, “Feiyu, why are you here?”

Ye Feiyu let Wen Xinya take the window seat, after which she explained, “I overslept this morning, so I had to rush here. In the end, I found out that they had already arranged the transport for the History students. Hence, I was allocated to this bus.”

Wen Xinya said, “It’s the day of the military training and yet, you still overslept. You must be very relaxed.”

She thought that she was already very calm. To her surprise, there was someone else who was calmer than her. It seems she had to work on her composure.

Ye Feiyu giggled and said, “Well, I stayed up late playing games!”

Wen Xinya had no idea what to say. Ye Feiyu had a penchant for playing video games online, which she was exceptionally good that. She was one of the top ten gamers and was known as a goddess.

On the topic of games, Ye Feiyu lamented. “This damned military training is going to be tiring and tough. On top of that, I can’t even play games. We’ve just released a new level and I bet I’ll be lagging way behind after the military training is over. It’s going to take me such a long time to catch up. The world is really cruel.”

The thought of being unable to play games for a month made her feel extremely disappointed.

Wen Xinya snorted with laughter and said, “I think you’d better think about how you’re going to survive the entire month of military training.”

She glanced at Ye Feiyu’s petite limbs and wondered if she could even take the grueling and arduous training.

Extremely annoyed, Ye Feiyu grimaced and said, “I wasn’t planning to join the training at first, but my brother insisted that I go for it. He thinks I’m too much of a homebody who lacks exercise. This is a great opportunity for me to train.”

After a moment of silence, Wen Xinya patted her on the shoulder and exclaimed, “My condolences!”

Ye Feiyu sunk into a somber mood.

“All students, the buses are going to move off very soon. Please return to your seats,” said one of the monitors.

About five minutes later, the vehicles began to move off.

They arrived at a valley twenty minutes later.

Along the way, the vehicle jerked unsteadily because of the uneven terrain. The students aired their woes and some of the weaker students even began getting dizzy spells.

The journey was short yet arduous. One could only imagine how terrible how they would feel for the rest of the training.

Wen Xinya was one of the many who got giddy from the bumpy ride. However, she fortunately did not have too severe a reaction and felt alright after a while.

There was a stark contrast between Wen Xinya and Ye Yufei, who finally stopped complaining about being unable to play video games.

Ye Feiyu looked out of the window at the mountains and said excitedly, “We’ve already been traveling for an hour. When will we reach?”

Noticing that they were reaching a secluded area, Wen Xinya exclaimed, “We should be reaching soon!”

Ye Feiyu held onto Wen Xinya’s hand and said excitedly, “Xinya, I heard some insider info about the military training. I heard that there will be two training grounds and one of the military Majors will be joining us this time. They’re taking it very seriously.”

“Capital University takes military training very seriously every year. Besides, there are plenty of Majors in China. There’s nothing too strange about one of them joining us,” said Wen Xinya, who was only slightly surprised, for she knew that most of the trainers for the camp were military personnel.

On her first day at school, she heard a lot about the military training. According to the seniors, Capital University took military training very seriously every year. However, they were only freshmen and wouldn’t have too hard of a time.

Elite universities placed emphasis on holistic education and hence, took the annual military training very seriously. It was even more so for Capital University, which would make its students undergo military training twice, once in Year One and another time in Year Three!

Ye Feiyu said, “Although it’s not strange for a military Major to be our commander, I heard that this one is very young. I think he’s just turned twenty. I doubt there are many majors who are this young!”

Wen Xinya pouted and thought to herself, There may not be many, but it’s not like I haven’t seen one before. Xu-er became a Major before he turned twenty, much more impressive than our commander.

Still extremely excited, Ye Feiyu said, “Most, most, most importantly, he’s very dashing! I heard that he’s almost godly. I really wonder how handsome he is.”

The boy-crazy Ye Feiyu looked dreamy and fascinated.

Wen Xinya snorted with laughter and teased. “You’re almost drooling.”

Out of all the soldiers she knew, Xu Zhenyu was the most handsome one. His perfect face was the reason why he was popular with girls and he exuded a commanding and domineering aura after joining the army.

She refused to believe that their commander would be better looking than Xu Zhenyu.

Ye Feiyu hurriedly wiped her mouth and said, “Huh? Saliva? What saliva?”

Wen Xinya burst into laughter, though she dared not be too loud since they were in a confined space.

Finally realizing that she had been pranked by Wen Xinya, Ye Feiyu groused. “You lied to me!”

Wen Xinya chuckled and said, “Since when did I lie to you? I’ve never seen anyone as boy-crazy as you. You’re almost drooling.”

Ye Feiyu pounced onto Wen Xinya and began tickling her. “You lied to me and yet, you’re still making excuses for yourself…”

“Hahahaha…” Wen Xinya tried her best to dodge while lamenting in her head, Why do all my friends know that being ticklish is my weakness? Why do they always exploit it?

Extremely elated, she tried to suppress her laughter and even caught the attention of everyone around her.
