She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

The last day of military training was a pleasant day with cloudy skies and a comfortable temperature.

Holding the flag, Jiang Lai marched step by step at the very front of the entire honor guard.

As the "March of the People's Navy" played, the entire honor guard marched at the very front of all the formations, followed by the entrance of each company and platoon.

Jiang Lai led the team to the flagpole. The flag bearers stepped forward, raised their hands, and the bright red national flag fluttered in the wind, slowly rising to the top of the flagpole to the strains of the national anthem.

The flag bearers returned to their posts, and Jiang Lai and the honor guard also left the scene.

This honor guard consisted entirely of tall, long-legged young men and women, all dressed in military training uniforms, which made them look very upright and attracted the attention of many people.

"Wow! Aren't these junior students a little too outstanding?"

"Youth is wonderful! Ah, youth!"

"That girl who leads the group is so pretty!"

"She's so beautiful!"

"The honor guard is amazing! They look so impressive!"

"Waaaaah, I want to join the honor guard too."

Some students expressed envy and jealousy. The girls fantasized that they were as outstanding and beautiful as Jiang Lai, attracting everyone's attention when they stood at the front, while the boys regretted that they did not join the honor guard, so they could not stand out in front of freshmen, teachers and leaders, and walk in formation with beautiful girls.

Even the teachers and instructors were satisfied. "Not bad."

For such a major event as the closing ceremony, people from all media outlets naturally need to follow the entire process in order to obtain enough material to write good articles later.

Lan Liting said to the person next to her, "So? That girl is Jiang Lai, whom I told you about. What do you think?"

The girl next to her touched the camera in her hand, the girl's face flashing through her mind, and said calmly, "Not bad."

Her face truly has the most perfect golden ratio; her features are just right, and she looks beautiful no matter how you photograph her.

Lan Liting was delighted. "Then I'll ask her later! By the way, did you take a picture of her just now?"

"made a bid."

"It's good that you took the photos; we'll need them later."

Aside from the marching formations, the closing ceremony also included student performances, such as military boxing, as well as speeches from leaders. While not boring, it wasn't particularly interesting either. Jiang Lai endured until all the events were over and finally returned to her class's formation, ready to go have lunch.

Her roommates were already waiting for her.

"Ah Jiang! Over here!"

"Ah Jiang! Not bad, you did a great job! You really brought honor to our business school and our class!" Tang Li said.

"Yes! You have no idea how amazed everyone was when you went up there!" Zhao Ying exclaimed excitedly, "I guarantee that after military training you will definitely be a campus goddess."

Li Xiangyue said, "It already is, okay? You have no idea how many people have asked A-Jiang which class he's in."

Jiang Lai: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm starving! Even the campus goddess needs to eat, okay?"

"Hahahaha! Let's go, let's go!"

-

The afternoon was still military training time, but the instructors would be leaving soon.

Although Zhao Ying kept complaining that Instructor Deng was not the type of instructor she had hoped for, she was still a little sad when it came time to say goodbye.

Instructor Deng stood at the front of the group and, seeing that everyone seemed rather down, asked with amusement, "What's wrong?"

"Reporting, Instructor! I'm a little reluctant to part with you!" the platoon leader said.

"Isn't it good that I'm leaving? Then you won't have to do military training anymore!" Instructor Deng said, "Although I only spent two short weeks with you, some of you left a deep impression on me, and you brought me a lot of joy..."

Instructor Deng gave a farewell speech, which made the students below even more upset.

Although we know that parting is inevitable, and that perhaps in less than a week, this separation will no longer stir any ripples in our hearts, the feeling of reluctance at this moment is real.

Instructor Deng is truly a great instructor. Although he can be strict at times, he tries his best not to punish anyone. He also chooses shady training grounds, and when the girls say they are tired, he tries his best to give them time to rest.

Compared to some instructors, he was practically an angel.

"Alright! Don't be so sad! Let's all be happy in the last little bit of time. How about we sing a song together with the team next door?" Instructor Deng and Instructor Li from next door are good friends, and the two platoons sometimes train together.

"Why bother with singing! Everyone, just show off your talents! Singing alone is so boring!" a bold boy shouted.

"Okay!" Instructor Deng readily agreed and had the instructor next door bring the people together.

Everyone sat together in a circle.

"Shouldn't the instructors perform first?" someone else egged on.

"Instructor! One more! Instructor! One more!" everyone shouted in unison.

The two instructors waved their hands repeatedly, indicating that they could not come.

"If I tell you to go, then go! This fussing and hesitating is unbecoming! What kind of behavior is this?" "A young lady~~~"

"A real man, a true gentleman, would never bully a girl! Rice, millet, if the instructor doesn't sing, he's a coward! Red flag waving, green flag waving, if the instructor doesn't sing, he's an idiot!"

The group modified the lyrics of their chant and used them directly on the instructors.

The two instructors couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to sing "When That Day Comes".

"It was a bright morning, the cooing of pigeons mingling with the reveille. But the world was not at peace..."

The soldiers' resounding songs echoed across the parade ground. It wasn't just Jiang Lai's side; other companies and platoons were also enjoying these last moments.

After the instructor finished singing, he asked, "How was it?"

"Awesome!" everyone answered in unison.

"Now it's your turn!" Instructor Li said, "Who started this commotion? Stand up right now, or I'll grab you!"

"Hahaha, Wang Zhe! Charge! Don't back down!"

The boy named Wang Zhe didn't hold back and went up to do a freestyle routine.

"Great!!!" Everyone applauded in unison.

Wang Zhe was from the next platoon. Instructor Deng glanced around at his own group and asked, "Our class can't lose! Who wants to come up and perform?"

Everyone looked at each other; nobody wanted to go up.

Instructor Li laughed, "Old Deng, you've lost! Look at our class of kids, aren't they great!"

Instructor Deng gritted his teeth and sneered, "Hmph, our class is good too."

He scanned the crowd again, then called out, "Jiang Lai!"

"Here!" Jiang Lai and Tang Li were commenting on the boys in the next class when their names were suddenly called, and they stood up reflexively.

"Want to come up and perform a show?" Instructor Deng looked at her with a smile.

Jiang Lai didn't hesitate and walked gracefully to the middle, "Then I'll sing a song for everyone!"

"Great!" "Class beauty!!!" "Ah Jiang!!"

Jiang Lai looked around and saw a boy with a guitar not far away.

Jiang Lai went to ask him for a guitar and borrowed it, then returned to her own group.

"Let me sing you a sweet song called 'I Really Like You'!"

As the sun sets, a young girl sits on the grass, holding a guitar.

Her slender fingers nimbly strummed the guitar strings, and she began to sing: "My dear~ please don't doubt my heart~"

"Darling, why won't you listen to my testimony?"

"Darling, please believe me, I truly love you."

Everyone swayed their hands and heads slowly to her singing.

This was the first time Jiang Lai had sung such a sweet love song, and it lifted her spirits. Her tone carried a hint of laughter, and her voice was bright and sweet, perfectly expressing the girl's excitement, coquettishness, and eagerness in this little love song.

The surrounding classmates began to applaud wildly, shouting, "Class beauty!" "Jiang Lai!"

The noise was so loud that it alerted students from other classes.

-

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Shen Yi's roommate followed his gaze to the playground. "Hey freshmen! Military training is over today, you're all free now."

Shen Yi happened to be passing by the playground today on his way to the computer lab in Zhizhi Building. He didn't expect to see that girl, nor did he expect to see her singing.

The training ground where Jiang Lai's class is located is on the edge of the playground, in a place with trees, close to the road.

Soon, the song ended, Jiang Lai stood up, bowed, and then ran back to return the guitar.

Shen Yi stood there and watched her entire performance, watching her sing happily while holding her guitar, watching her laugh amidst the applause of her classmates, and watching her run towards another boy in the sunset, her hair fluttering in the wind.

Unlike his monotonous and uneventful life, she was vibrant and full of life. When he saw her, his world was filled with color.

That's what fascinates him about her.

"Hey? Isn't that my goddess?" My roommate put her hand to her forehead, blocking the sunlight. "I think so? Is she—"

Shen Yi turned and left: "I'm leaving."

"Hey! Wait for me! Master! Can I copy today's homework?"

……

"Class beauty! Encore!" "Encore!" "Encore, encore!"

Jiang Lai waved her hand: "It's the others' turn! We can't let me be the only one taking the spoils, can we?"

Everyone laughed happily upon hearing this.

With Jiang Lai warming up the atmosphere, everyone relaxed a lot, and other students gradually went on stage to perform.

Apart from Jiang Lai's class, which was performing, the other classes were doing the same, which can be considered a tradition of military training.

Finally, it was time for everyone to go have dinner, and the instructors were about to leave.

"Let's sing one last song!" said the class's arts and culture representative. "Let's sing 'Farewell' for our instructors!"

"it is good!"

Everyone sang in unison again: "Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient road, the fragrant grass stretches to the horizon..."

"A pot of wine exhausts the remaining joy, tonight's dreams are cold..."

I don't know who it was, but someone started crying while singing and said, "Thank you, instructor!"

The others also said, "Thank you, instructor!"

When will you return, my friend? Do not hesitate when you come back.

-

When everyone returned to the dormitory that night, they all quickly took a shower and went to bed to play on their phones.

001: "Host, your favorability rating is skyrocketing!"

Jiang Lai: "Huh?"

001: "The video of the host singing has been posted online!"

Jiang Lai lay flat: "Oh."

She thought of this while singing today; in fact, such situations are quite common during military training.

"It's an official account!"

"?" Jiang Lai took out her phone and searched for the video on Douyin. She found that it was posted by a student and tagged with Beijing University, which attracted official reposts.

Jiang Lai sent a message to Lan Liting.

"Senior? Did you help share this video?"

Lan Liting quickly replied: I saw the video. It was forwarded by the person in charge of commas in our department. Does the junior mind? I can ask him to delete it.

Jiang Lai: I don't mind at all, I'm actually quite honored, hahaha

Lan Liting: Hahahaha, that person is a fan of your looks, I'll introduce you to them another day.

Jiang Lai: Okay!

Jiang Lai clicked on the video and saw the comments below.

The comments section had already exploded.

—So you've found the code to traffic, haven't you? This girl has appeared on the official account several times in a row!

—Wow, she's so beautiful, and her singing is so sweet!

—My wife! My wife!

—To be honest, official, if you had released her earlier, your previous videos wouldn't have had such dismal view counts.

—Upstairs, this is a video of freshmen military training. Is it possible that this girl was still in high school before?

—I'm a 17 graduate, currently working and owning an apartment in Beijing, earning 4 RMB per month. I'd like to know this female graduate's contact information.

—Where is the conscience, the moral bottom line, the virtue, and even the contact information of a girl like this who flaunts her charms outside?

—She seemed to know she was beautiful.

—Even I, a woman, am tempted, who understands?

So sweet! So sweet! So sweet! So sweet!

—If you weren't the official account of Beijing University, I would have advised this young lady to debut as a celebrity.

—She has dimples, so sweet!

People tend to have a biased view of academic achievers, especially those from prestigious universities like Beijing University. Their intelligence is already beyond the reach of most, and when they also possess beauty, it's simply irresistible. Netizens are almost universally showering them with compliments, significantly boosting Jiang Lai's popularity.

"By the way, Shenyi's favorability rating also increased by three points today," 001 said.

"Shen Yi?" Jiang Lai stopped scrolling through videos. "He saw me today?"

"Yeah."

"Should I take the initiative to go find him? After all, his favorability rating is quite high. If I try hard, maybe I can max it out?"

"You can give it a try," 001 encouraged her.

“Those you’ve identified as potential romance targets are no ordinary people…” Jiang Lai also dug out the school forum, trying to find clues about Shen Yi.

Unfortunately, the forum seems to have crashed recently. The current posts are all new and have little content. Moreover, Jiang Lai has seen quite a few posts about herself.

"Maybe I can ask some senior students?" Jiang Lai thought to herself. The one she was most familiar with was Senior Lan Liting, who was in the media industry and must have some sources of information, right?

Jiang Lai took a picture of her senior's profile picture.

You patted the clever head of the girl in the clouds.

Lan Liting: ?

Jiang Lai: Senior, do you know Shenyi?

Lan Liting: Of course I know! Is there anything I can help you with, junior?

Jiang Lai: I learned about this name by chance and was a little curious.

Lan Liting: (Grinning mischievously) You found out from the girls, right? Quite a few girls like him.

Lan Liting: He's a genius in the computer science department! But he seems a bit unapproachable, rather quiet and reserved. Aside from classes, he's always working part-time. But he's quite good-looking.

Lan Liting: The computer science teachers value him highly, and he himself is very talented.

Lan Liting: He previously participated in the National Undergraduate Coding Contest and won a gold medal; the school even praised him.

Lan Liting: He's from Computer Science Class 3. If you're a junior (raises eyebrows and smiles mischievously), you can contact me! I can help you get his contact information.

Jiang Lai: No, no, I was just a little curious.

Lan Liting: Hahahaha, okay. But he goes to the library to work part-time every Sunday, so you can keep an eye on him.

Jiang Lai: (Cat scratching its head emoji)

Jiang Lai: Go to sleep.

Lan Liting: Goodnight~
