The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

Slogans, formations, physical conditioning – the morning training session flew by.

Under the watchful eye of Long Teng, the students were all on high alert, not daring to slack off in the slightest. They focused on training, standing ramrod straight, afraid of being caught as an example and punished by running ten laps around the track.

However, Long Teng didn't actually dare to treat these delicate college students the same way Xu Nian did. Occasionally, some would fall behind or slack off, but he would turn a blind eye.

After all, today's college students are as physically strong as glass dolls, easily broken with the slightest touch.

If they were trained like Xu Nian, the majority of the class would collapse within half a day, leaving him as the only instructor.

The midday sun was particularly scorching, and the students were all drenched in sweat. Their camouflage uniforms were soaked through, but no one dared to slack off or wipe their sweat. They all stood ramrod straight.

The clock tower's hands had already pointed to exactly twelve o'clock, meaning their morning training was about to end and they would soon have a rare break.

Xu Nian stared intently at the grinning Long Teng, her fists clenched tightly, waiting for the dismissal whistle to sound so she could go up and challenge this bastard to a duel.

Long Teng remained completely unperturbed, acting as if it didn't matter. He even intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Xu Nian, making faces and winking at him when the other students weren't looking.

Amidst the anticipation of countless people, the bishop stepped onto the platform, blew his whistle, and announced the end of the morning's training session.

The moment he finished speaking, Long Teng took off running, sprinting towards the exit of the playground at an extremely fast speed, as if he were fleeing from some raging flood or ferocious beast.

"Stop! Long Teng, you stand there!" Xu Nian, who had been waiting for this moment, chased after him almost at the same time, his murderous intent barely concealed.

As Long Teng sprinted forward, he felt a chill run down his spine and his scalp tingled. He desperately tried to accelerate while turning back to beg for mercy: "Boss! I was wrong! Please don't chase me!"

Xu Nian grabbed a thin twig from the roadside bushes, waving it around with a loud crack, her footsteps never faltering as she relentlessly pursued him: "Long Teng, you paratrooper! You stay right there! Stay right there!"

......

After days of grueling training, Xu Nian's running speed is now on par with Long Teng's. The distance between them is neither shortening nor widening, and each possesses exceptional endurance.

As a result, the students of Yuncheng University witnessed an extremely comical scene: a burly man in an officer's uniform was frantically running ahead, begging for mercy; while a tall, thin man in camouflage was chasing after him, uttering threats.

The two chased each other around the main road of the campus again and again, the distance between them remaining unchanged. One was trying his best to escape but couldn't get away, and the other was trying his best to catch up but couldn't.

This scene was comparable to Liu Haizhu chasing Huang Yaoshi.

Finally, after running two and a half laps around the school, Long Teng, who had no energy left, could no longer withstand the psychological pressure and decisively surrendered. In exchange for a lunch, he successfully appeased Xu Nian, who was chasing him, and ended the chase.

The two then went to Time Villa outside the school. Xu Nian didn't hold back and picked up the menu to order the most expensive dishes, including seafood, main dishes, and signature specialties, filling the whole table with food.

Looking at the ever-increasing menu, Long Teng's lips twitched wildly. He gritted his teeth inwardly, his heart aching so much that his liver was trembling. He silently lamented: "They're treating me like Prince Zoro!"

Xu Nian put down the menu and let out a long sigh of relief.

After calming down, he asked curiously, "Long Teng, why are you here at my school as a military training instructor? What's going on?"

Long Teng scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, "Well, since the eldest brother and his wife are both here at school, we brothers are just killing time anyway. Yunda University contacted my old unit to request some soldiers to be military training instructors, so I brought the rest of us to join in the fun, and that's how we ended up running into the eldest brother's class!"

Xu Nian raised an eyebrow. This was just too "perfect." He absolutely did not believe there was no inside story.

Long Teng chuckled and apologized profusely: "Boss, I'm sorry, I apologize to you. I really didn't mean to mess with you this morning, I just wanted to make an example of you and set an example."

"Many students think that military training is just a formality and they just go through the motions. We have also received orders from our superiors that we cannot be too harsh on them. We cannot do what we do in the army, where we can kick any soldier who is clumsy to teach them a lesson."

"Boss, I know your physical abilities. You can easily run twenty laps, or even fifty. So I used a tactic of making an example of you... oh no, I mean, to intimidate these pampered college students and teach them to behave."

Xu Nian's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "If you're going to settle a personal score, just do it. Why make it sound so high-sounding?"

"Hehe, how could that be? Absolutely not!" Long Teng quickly put on a smile and raised his hand to swear, "I promise, if I'm lying even a little bit, or even thinking of playing a trick on the boss, may all my brothers be unable to find wives for ten years!"

"Oh, it must be terrible to be one of your men."

Xu Nian shook her head helplessly.

Actually, if you think about it calmly, what Long Teng said makes some sense. It is said that a new broom sweeps clean when he takes office, otherwise he will not be able to control his arrogant and unruly subordinates.

During military training, he also observed the situation of other formations. Many freshmen were extremely lazy, talked back to the instructors, and marched in a mess, which made their instructors grit their teeth in anger, but they were helpless.

In contrast, in his own class, ever since he was punished by running twenty laps to set an example, everyone instantly curbed their laziness, remained tense throughout, had a proper training attitude, and formed neat and uniform ranks, with their spirit far surpassing all other formations.

In comparison, it seems that it's not a big deal for him to achieve such results after running twenty laps that are neither painful nor challenging.

After finishing their meal, Long Teng reluctantly paid the bill and returned to school with Xu Nian.

As they reached the school gate, Long Teng suddenly stopped, a fawning smile on his face: "Boss, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Go ahead and say it," Xu Nian said, hands on her hips, feeling that this guy wasn't up to any good.

Long Teng said with a grin, "Hehe, it's nothing. It's just that the boss is among the students, so let's not reveal our relationship yet, otherwise I won't be able to keep these students in check."

He leaned close to Xu Nian's ear and whispered, "On the day of the performance, the class with the highest score will receive a medal and a bonus from the instructors. When we get the bonus, we'll treat our boss and his wife to dinner."

Upon hearing this reason, Xu Nian was both amused and exasperated, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, whatever you say, I'll go along with it."
