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

Jiang Xun sighed helplessly and turned his gaze to the other side, where he saw Xu Nian walking towards them and Xu Xi clinging to his back.

"Uncle Xu, sister-in-law, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen, Su Zhe, and Luo Chen all looked up and followed Jiang Xun's gaze, their eyes lighting up immediately.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law, it's been a long time!"

Xu Xi jumped off Xu Nian's back, waved her little hand happily, and greeted everyone: "Hello everyone. My husband and I are going to the cafeteria for lunch. Have you eaten yet? If not, let's go together!"

Xiao Chen was about to agree immediately, but his gaze inadvertently fell on Jiang Xun's resentful eyes beside him. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, scratched his head, and looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Xu Nian noticed the strange atmosphere among them, walked over to Jiang Xun, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xun sighed, "Don't even mention it. Aren't we supposed to be training our physical fitness to prepare for the upcoming sports meet?"

"Now look what's happened. They haven't even run two laps, and they're all complaining about being tired. They've been lying down ever since, and they don't want to move anymore."

Xiao Chen complained bitterly, "Old Jiang, I'm really out of energy. Running these few laps has killed me, and my feet still hurt."

"How about... we call it a day and practice another day?"

Luo Chen nodded slightly, expressing his deep agreement with what Xiao Chen said.

Xu Nian glanced at the lazy boys and couldn't help but chuckle.

Sure enough, no one can escape the temptation of laziness.

Su Zhe noticed the red ribbons on Xu Nian and Xu Xi's foreheads and asked curiously, "Uncle Xu, what are you and your sister-in-law wearing on your heads?"

"Ah, this?" Xu Nian pointed to the word "self-discipline" on her forehead and said with a smile, "Your sister-in-law and I have been addicted to games these days and have been living too sloppily. Now we've decided to quit our internet addiction and be more self-disciplined."

"Sigh, if only we could all be more self-disciplined," Jiang Xun said somewhat resentfully as he lay on the lawn.

He almost shouted himself hoarse trying to get his roommates to exercise.

But no one can resist the pleasure that laziness brings. Even he himself was no exception.

After everyone else gave up, he only trained for another half hour before becoming lazy as well.

After all, the comfort that comes with laziness is just too tempting.

If this trend continues, judging from their overall strength, they will probably only be at the bottom by the time of the sports meet.

Xu Nian's eyes darted around, and she suddenly remembered someone.

A wicked smile crept across his lips as he narrowed his eyes and said, "I have a way to make you all self-disciplined. Want to give it a try?"

Jiang Xun raised an eyebrow: "What method?"

Xu Nian took out her phone and made a call.

A moment later, a burly figure appeared in everyone's sight.

He was seven feet tall, with dark skin, and his arms were covered with dense, well-defined muscles, exuding a powerful aura.

"Holy crap!" Xiao Chen cursed upon seeing the newcomer, standing up in shock, his voice trembling, "Tyrannosaurus Rex?!"

Jiang Xun, Su Zhe, and Luo Chen were also filled with disbelief, and subconsciously got up from the ground and stood up straight.

Walking towards them was Long Teng, the military training instructor who had left them with an indelible shadow a month ago!

"Hey recruits, long time no see! Did you miss your instructor?"

Long Teng walked up to the group, a wicked grin on his face. He stopped next to Xu Nian, raised his arm, and delivered a powerful elbow strike to her.

"Boss, what can I do for you? Let me make it clear first, don't even think about taking my potion. Even the richest family is short of food."

"Boss... Boss?" Jiang Xun and the other three were completely dumbfounded. Their eyes were wide open, and their mouths looked like they could fit an egg in them. They all looked at Xu Nian with puzzled expressions.

"Uncle Xu, do you know Instructor Long?"

"Yes, we've known each other for a long time."

Now that things have come to this, Xu Nian no longer needs to hide his relationship with Long Teng.

He patted Long Teng on the shoulder and glanced at Jiang Xun and the others: "These guys are going to participate in the school sports meet and need to train their physical fitness, but they're too lazy and not disciplined enough. They need someone to strictly supervise them, so I'll leave this to you."

"Understood!" Long Teng instantly switched to the demeanor of a serious instructor, clapping his fists together and shouting loudly to Jiang Xun and the other three, "Right dress!"

Jiang Xun and the other three were startled by the shout. Their bodies reacted instinctively, and they immediately stood in a row, aligning themselves properly with their backs straight.

The moment Long Teng stands there, he instills in them a fear etched into their very bones.

The group exchanged furtive glances, looking at Xu Nian with tears in their eyes, as if pleading for his help and begging him to take this "big Buddha" away.

Xu Nian ignored their pleading looks, smiled and took off the red "Self-Discipline" ribbons from her and Xu Xi's foreheads, and put them on the heads of Jiang Xun, who was in the lead, and Xiao Chen, who was the laziest, respectively. She patted them on the shoulders and said, "Practice hard and keep it up."

After saying that, he took Xu Xi's hand and left without looking back, leaving Jiang Xun and the other three standing there, trembling in the face of Long Teng's oppressive gaze.

Long Teng cleared his throat, a faint wicked smile playing on his lips, and paced back and forth in front of the group, scrutinizing them with sharp eyes.

"Let me make this clear from the start: during military training, there are orders from above not to let you cause any trouble. I can turn a blind eye to your sneaky little tricks."

"But now that you're in my hands, I won't show you any mercy. Trying to slack off? No way!"

Upon hearing this, the group shuddered, their hearts filled with fear.

Xiao Chen, in particular, was starting to break out in a cold sweat.

He watched Xu Nian's departing figure, his face filled with despair.

Long Teng took a whistle out of his pocket, hung it around his neck, and blew it: "Run five laps around the track!"

No one dared to slack off; they quickly lined up and began jogging slowly around the playground.

After less than two laps, Xiao Chen, who had the worst physical fitness, was already drenched in sweat, panting heavily, and his steps began to falter, gradually falling behind the pace of the group.

"I...I can't do it anymore."

He was panting heavily, bent over, and stood on the track, his thighs trembling uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, a whooshing sound came as a thick, long whip lashed out and struck his buttocks.

Xiao Chen cried out in pain, "Ouch!"

"Dare to fall behind? Give me another lap!" Long Teng's angry voice came from behind.

Xiao Chen was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his skin. He quickly covered his backside and hurried to catch up with the rest of the line.

When the others saw Xiao Chen's miserable state, they all gasped in shock. No one dared to have any more thoughts of slacking off. They gritted their teeth and began to be forced to be self-disciplined.
