"Yes," everyone said in unison.

Chapter 46: Military Training Ends

The captain shouted, "Disband!"

Everyone scattered instantly, heading towards their respective dormitories.

"That student," the team leader suddenly called out to Zhou Shengchen.

"Is something the matter?" Zhou Shengchen stopped and walked to the captain's side, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

The captain smiled and said, "I remember, the taxi fare from that community you mentioned to here is 150 yuan, not 185 yuan."

"Really?" Zhou Shengchen feigned surprise. "It seems I've been fooled by him. People's hearts have changed so much. My deliveryman brother and I are of one mind, but he's outsmarting me. Is this a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality?"

"Stop acting strangely." The captain's lips twitched, then his expression turned serious as he asked, "Are you an Extraordinary Person?"

Zhou Shengchen raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

The captain continued, "While ordinary people might have a slight chance of reaching your level with special training, they certainly wouldn't be as relaxed and carefree as you are."

Zhou Shengchen smiled and asked with some curiosity, "Shouldn't a captain at this level be aware of the existence of superhumans?"

The captain nodded and explained, "I have a brother I've known since childhood who works for the company. I've heard him talk about some things in the world of supernatural beings."

"I see!" Zhou Shengchen's lips curled up slightly as he suddenly realized.

"Which sect or faction do you belong to?" the captain asked curiously.

“I am an innate extraordinary person who is not registered with the company, and I do not belong to any sect!” Zhou Shengchen said.

Upon hearing this, the captain suddenly became excited and said, "You must have heard of the company my friend works for, NaDuTong. Are you interested? I can introduce you to them."

"No need," Zhou Shengchen refused directly. "Although Na Du Tong is not bad, dragons don't associate with snakes. They are not worth my service."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Shengchen's figure disappeared from the captain's sight.

At the same time, a threatening voice came from the captain's ear, "I don't want anyone to know my identity. You'd better watch yourself."

The captain's pupils contracted sharply, then he sighed, "Is this the ability of an Outcast? I'm so envious! But this guy seems a bit too strong. Xiao Qiang couldn't do this."

"Also, I'm just an ordinary person. These matters concerning extraordinary people are none of my concern. I should just stay out of it."

dorm room.

Seeing Zhou Shengchen return late, Xiao Haiyang asked curiously, "Was the story you made up something you had planned beforehand?"

“No!” Zhou Shengchen shook his head and replied, “It was made up on the spot.”

"So, do you like Gu Yixin?" Xiao Haiyang teased.

"Oh~"

Yu Hao and Lu Qiaochuan exclaimed in surprise and looked at Zhou Shengchen with gossipy eyes.

"You're overthinking it." Zhou Shengchen smiled calmly and said, "I only like beautiful women, and although Gu Yixin is reasonably good-looking, she still doesn't fit my aesthetic. Besides, I can't stand her greedy nature, so I won't like her."

"Are you so sure?" Xiao Haiyang didn't believe it.

Zhou Shengchen glanced at him and said indifferently, "I have girlfriends, and more than one. Why would I be interested in Gu Yixin or like her?"

"You have a girlfriend!" Everyone was shocked.

They had spent more than ten days together, and Zhou Shengchen had never mentioned it before.

Actually, it's because they didn't ask, otherwise Zhou Shengchen wouldn't have needed to hide it.

"If you don't like her, why take the risk of taking the blame for her?" Xiao Haiyang expressed his incomprehension of Zhou Shengchen's behavior.

Zhou Shengchen pondered for a moment and said, "In life, you don't need a reason to do everything. Sometimes you just do what you want to do."

"Zhou Shengchen!"

Just as Zhou Shengchen and Xiao Haiyang were chatting, Gu Yixin suddenly walked in.

Zhou Shengchen raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"

"Thank you for today." Gu Yixin said her thanks as she handed a black plastic bag to Zhou Shengchen.

"Here are two hamburgers, they're yours." With that, Gu Yixin turned and left.

On the seventeenth day of military training, the daytime training continued as usual, but the evening began with the military training performance.

Zhou Shengchen's class practiced singing "Night at the Military Port," and because he was too gentle, he was ridiculed by other girls, including Zhong Bai.

Lu Qiaochuan was indignant and wanted to do something more manly, so he encouraged everyone to change the song, saying that if they sang this song, they would be ashamed and laughed at.

Zhou Shengchen found Lu Qiaochuan's words amusing.

It was just a patriotic song sung by a girl. At most, people would just laugh it off at the time. Who would have time to laugh at you afterwards?

Moreover, several nearby schools are conducting military training here, with tens of thousands of people participating. You're not some big shot, so how much free time would others have to remember you?

However, a large majority of people were actually persuaded by Lu Qiaochuan to change the song.

Yu Hao even suggested changing to an English song, which immediately prompted Zhou Shengchen to point at Yu Hao and angrily accuse him of "worshipping foreign things and fawning on foreigners".

When a classmate from the same company saw Zhou Shengchen's attitude, he quickly advised him not to switch and to just go straight to the night at the military port!

Moreover, after carefully considering Zhou Shengchen's words, they realized that singing English songs did indeed have a bit of a Western-worshipping connotation.

Singing foreign songs during military training in our country is indeed inappropriate. Besides, even if you want to change it, what can you do? The name has already been registered, and you can't just change it as you please.

Besides, everyone has already been given a demerit and is on the instructor's blacklist. Who can guarantee that they won't run into trouble if they do something else messy?

So, the matter of changing the song was dropped.

The eighteenth day of military training, September 20th, the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, is Zhou Shengchen's birthday.

Zhou Shengchen received blessings from a few close friends and his girlfriend. Overjoyed, he gave each student in the second company, fourth class, two braised duck legs.

Well, except for Pan Zhen.

On the same day, a 1000-meter race was held at the base.

Zhang Chi asked Xiao Haiyang to attend.

Thanks to his regular training, Xiao Haiyang achieved excellent results.

On the nineteenth day of military training, the training and rehearsals continued as usual.

The twentieth day of military training, which is September 22nd, is also the last day of military training.

On the same day, there was a grand military parade.

The second company, fourth platoon achieved a ranking that was neither high nor low, neither a source of pride nor a disgrace, but Zhang Chi was quite satisfied.

At the gala, everyone went on stage and sang "Night at the Military Port" earnestly, but no one actually laughed at them; everyone just thought it was quite interesting.

Early morning on December 9th.

Before leaving, everyone bid each other farewell. Both the girls' class and Yifan class were reluctant to part with their instructors. However, Zhang Chi, the instructor of Zhou Shengchen's class, stood silently in front of the car, suppressing his emotions and giving a brief farewell to everyone.

Everyone was a little sad, after all, this farewell meant they would basically never see their instructors again.

Chapter 47: Off to freeload a meal!

Of course, Zhou Shengchen didn't feel much about the separation.

They'd only known each other for a few days; how could there be so much affection? Zhou Shengchen thought those people were just being pretentious.

On the bus back to school, Lu Qiaochuan and the others enthusiastically discussed what to eat at the school cafeteria for lunch.

Lu Qiaochuan even took out a notebook to write down the dishes everyone wanted to eat. After the group ordered a lot of dishes, Bi Shisan suddenly said he wanted to eat pork and cabbage dumplings.

Zhou Shengchen and the others were not surprised at all by his choice.

During the more than twenty days they spent together, Bi Shisan kept talking about his cabbage and pork dumplings. Everyone already knew that it was Bi Shisan's favorite, the kind he never got tired of eating.

Yu Hao went even further, saying he didn't want any staple food, just meat, and he also wanted an extra serving of his favorite sweet and sour pork.

However, upon hearing Yu Hao's words, Xiao Haiyang immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "Our school cafeteria doesn't have sweet and sour pork because that stuff is too much of a local specialty."

Yu Hao pouted: "How did you know?"

“I’ve been eating it for two years, of course I know,” Xiao Haiyang said, rolling his eyes.

"I want sweet and sour pork."

Yu Hao held Xiao Haiyang's hand and said coquettishly.

This made Zhou Shengchen shift his body, wanting to get further away from him, while at the same time he felt goosebumps all over his body.

Xiao Haiyang pried Yu Hao's hands open and then said that as long as Yu Hao could write down the name of the dish "Sweet and Sour Pork," he would do everything he could to make sure that Yu Hao ate Sweet and Sour Pork for lunch today.

Xiao Haiyang's move truly stumped Yu Hao, because he simply didn't know how to write it.

The two then began arguing incessantly about the sweet and sour pork.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Back at school, the boys went crazy as soon as they got off the bus, carrying their luggage and rushing to the cafeteria, heading straight for the meat dishes.

The girls were quite restrained, knowing to go back to their dorms to shower, change clothes, and tidy themselves up before going over.

Zhou Shengchen and the others walked slowly together.

"Ouch!" Yu Hao suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking uncomfortable, and rubbed his temples with both hands.

"what happened?"

Xiao Haiyang asked weakly.

Yu Hao said in a sweet voice, "Perhaps her headache has flared up again."

Bi Shisan reached out and grasped Yu Hao's wrist, as if to take his pulse.

Upon seeing this, Yu Hao immediately screamed and fell to the ground with a light jump. Bi Shisan quickly squatted down and continued to take his pulse.
