A passing traveler through the heavens

During military training, everyone sees each other all the time, so it's not unreasonable to give the instructors some face.

As for Zhang Chi, he naturally understood the respect that Ji Lin was giving him.

Sure enough, after everyone had been running on the track for about half an hour, Zhang Chi waved his hand and told everyone to end their morning running training.

There was still a full half hour of free time before the afternoon training officially began.

Without a doubt, Ji Lin had managed to get this short break to save face for his instructor.

As night fell, evening training continued as usual.

Just then, the instructor suddenly announced something important: "On the last day of this military training, there will be a party! In addition, each class will need to carefully organize a large chorus activity."

"In addition, everyone has the opportunity to go on stage individually to showcase their talents."

As the squad leader of this military training team, Ji Lin stepped forward without hesitation and reported to the instructor as soon as Zhang Chi finished speaking.

The reason Ji Lin was so proactive was that he didn't want Xiao Haiyang, that hothead, to make the same suggestion about a "night at the military port" as in the original story.

Following that, Ji Lin also shared his opinion. After a moment's thought, he suggested, "How about we all sing 'Unity is Strength' together?"

After a brief pause, he seemed to feel that he hadn't said enough, and then added, "Or 'Ode to the Motherland' would be fine too."

After listening to Ji Lin's suggestion, Zhang Chi nodded slightly in agreement.

Then, he turned to the other students and asked, "What are your thoughts on the suggestion Ji Lin just made?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the students in the previously quiet military training group began to whisper and murmur among themselves.

Regardless of the discussion, almost everyone expressed high approval of those two songs.

Seeing that everyone's attitude was so uniform, Zhang Chi nodded in satisfaction. Then, he slowly said, "Alright, I'll report on the songs we'll be singing later."

After speaking, he paused slightly, as if remembering something important, and then asked, "So, besides the group performance, is there anyone who wants to perform solo?"

Just then, Pan Zhen, who had been sitting silently in the corner, suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Me! I'm going to play the guitar and sing!"

Almost at the same time, Ji Lin shouted, not to be outdone, "I want to play the guitar and sing too!"

Their voices rang out simultaneously, colliding and intertwining in the air, creating a subtle and tense atmosphere.

Upon hearing Ji Lin say the same thing, Pan Zhen was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glared at Ji Lin fiercely, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and provocation.

Soon, the day's training came to an end.

Ji Lin had arrived early at the quiet grove behind the base and waited quietly. After some time, just as Ji Lin was looking around impatiently, he suddenly felt a pair of soft hands gently cover his eyes.

At the same time, a clear and melodious voice rang in his ears: "Guess who I am~" The familiar voice entered his ears, and Ji Lin's heart stirred. Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed those hands, then pulled hard, tightly embracing the owner of the hands.

Feeling the warmth of the person in his arms and their familiar scent, Ji Lin lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I guess it must be my beloved Xue'er."

"I heard you got into a fight at noon today? Are you hurt?" Lin Luoxue, who was being held, looked at Ji Lin with a worried expression, her eyes filled with concern and heartache.

Seeing her so anxious, Ji Lin felt a warmth in his heart and quickly comforted her with a smile, "Of course I'm fine! Look, I'm perfectly alright, aren't I? I don't even have a scratch!"

As he spoke, he even showed Lin Luoxue his perfectly intact body.

Seeing that he was indeed unharmed, Lin Luoxue breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still worriedly warned, "Don't let it happen again, understand? You're not allowed to do such dangerous things again!"

Ji Lin nodded repeatedly in agreement, and then, taking advantage of Lin Luoxue's unpreparedness, quickly kissed her on the cheek. Lin Luoxue blushed immediately and glared at him coquettishly.

After a while, Lin Luoxue came to her senses and asked in confusion, "What exactly do you want me to do here? You don't just want to spend some time with me, do you?"

Ji Lin smiled mysteriously and said softly, "Close your eyes, there's a surprise coming!" Although Lin Luoxue was a little curious, she obediently closed her eyes.

Ji Lin reached into the system space and gently grabbed a large bag.

The bag was filled with all sorts of snacks: potato chips, chocolate, jelly... you name it.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now!" Ji Lin said gently.

Lin Luoxue slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw the dazzling array of snacks in front of her, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth: "My God! So much food! How did you manage to get all of this here?"

Ji Lin winked mischievously: "Hehe, well, that's a secret! You should take these snacks back and eat them, and remember to let Zhong Bai and the others try some too."

Lin Luoxue nodded happily and was about to leave with the snacks when Ji Lin quickly stopped her: "By the way, remember to clean up the trash after you finish eating."

After parting ways with Lin Luoxue, Ji Lin returned to his dormitory carrying a full load of various snacks in both hands.

However, the moment he stepped into the dormitory room, the previously noisy dormitory suddenly fell silent. The pile of snacks that Ji Lin brought back to the dormitory successfully attracted the attention of his roommates.

Their eyes lit up as they looked expectantly at the bag in Ji Lin's hand.

Ji Lin said, somewhat amused and exasperated, "Call me Dad and I'll give you some to eat."

Ji Lin underestimated the allure of snacks to this group, and then a chorus of unified shouts rang out: "Dad!"

To Ji Lin's surprise, Ren Yifan also appeared in their dormitory, and Ren Yifan, without hesitation, joined the others in shouting, "Dad!"

As soon as Ji Lin put the snacks on the table, they were immediately snatched up by everyone.

Ji Lin shook his head helplessly, and soon the people in the dormitory had finished most of the snacks.

Looking at the mess of wrappers and fruit peels all over the floor, Ji Lin sighed, stood up, picked up a broom and dustpan, and began to clean up carefully.

Since Ji Lin has so many wonderful sons, it's only right for a father to clean up after them.

Because of Ji Lin's mediation and the fierce fight that took place at the bathroom entrance, Pan Zhen became unusually well-behaved throughout the subsequent military training.

They didn't even dare to entertain the slightest thought of showing off.

And thanks to the constant supply of snacks provided by Ji Lin, both the girls with Lin Luoxue and Ji Lin's own companions consciously controlled their food intake when eating in the cafeteria.

Try to eat as little food as possible, and save room for snacks when you get back to the dorm.

As a result, people's favorability towards him rose sharply.

During this period, the song for Ji Lin's team to sing was finally decided - "Unity is Strength" became their final choice.
