Song Lili kept running around the drill ground, to say she was willing would be a lie.
All she could think about was tearing Lin Xinglan to pieces!
This whole week, no matter how much trouble Lin Xinglan caused, she hadn’t taken it to heart.
Military training was both boring and dull, but truly torturous nonetheless.
From dawn to dusk, training followed the strict regimen for new recruits in the army, with a fixed and tight schedule for daily activities.
After two months of military training, intense military courses would follow immediately. If she wanted a smooth start to the school year, she needed to begin previewing the course material now.
Because of this, Song Lili had absolutely no time to mess around with Lin Xinglan.
But that girl, seemingly with no sense of restraint, became even more brazen, calling everyone out of the dormitory before assembly and then locking her inside!
She heard the commotion, but it was too late to stop it; she could only watch Lin Xinglan’s figure sneaking away with a smug smile of successful mischief.
If it weren’t for the dorm manager passing by, she really wouldn’t have known how late she would be.
Eight laps, nine laps, ten laps... finish running and rejoin the ranks.
Not far away, Lu Ziqing and Duan Chen stood together, watching this figure.
"This week alone, the number of laps she’s been punished to run must be at least double the training amount, right?"
Lu Ziqing raised an eyebrow in surprise, looking toward Duan Chen, "Since when did you start caring about the training of female soldiers?"
"Am I not doing it for you? You, Colonel Sir, have much to attend to in the military. If not for the inspection, when would you find the time to come to the school?"
Lu Ziqing laughed lightly, returning to the main topic, "What’s up with her? Why is she always being punished?"
"At the entrance ceremony, she offended Shen Lingxi. In class, she doesn’t get along with Lin Xinglan either. With bad relations with these two, it’s no wonder she’s suffering."
"The daughter of Mayor Lin?"
"The same silly admirer who acts like she’s seeing a god whenever she sees you?"
"..." Duan Chen was at a loss for words.
"Haha! This is rather peculiar. How come this little girl is at odds with Tang Xiaohua? They seem so similar..."
Lu Ziqing pondered, stroking his chin.
Duan Chen must not have heard that wrong, right?
"Running a few extra laps is fine, just don’t overdo it,"
Lu Ziqing said indifferently.
The drill inspection began swiftly. Despite only a week of training, it seemed to pose no challenge for these students, who had undergone rigorous selection to enter the military school.
The military school leaders reviewing the event were very pleased, but...
Lu Ziqing walked over to the second squad of the new recruits’ platoon, watching the instructor with a stern face making them stand at attention.
"Your team doesn’t seem as disciplined as the others; have you found out why?"
The instructor pursed her lips, somewhat distressed...
The instructor turned slightly, lowering her voice to say a few words to Lu Ziqing, who then lightly laughed and said,
"What’s so difficult about that? Lin Xinglan, step forward!"
Lin Xinglan stepped forward, her cap brim pulled low, obscuring her line of sight.
"Tang Xiaohua, step forward!"
"From now on, Tang Xiaohua, you’ll be responsible for one-on-one guiding of Lin Xinglan in drill formation training. If she lags behind again by the next inspection, you’ll be punished!"
Song Lili furrowed her brows, looking puzzled at Lu Ziqing.
Lu Ziqing ignored her questioning expression, patted the instructor on the shoulder, and walked away.
Song Lili glanced at Lin Xinglan, and her mentality just collapsed at that moment.
What the hell was Brother Lu doing? Was he fooled by the "daughter of the mayor" label like everyone else?
However, others might not know that she, Song Lili, was also the daughter of the mayor, but didn’t Brother Lu know?
"Hmph, don’t think you can walk all over me!"
Lin Xinglan, that little girl, even cast a disdainful glance at her.
