Absolutely Spoiled - Chapter 41.3

Chapter 41.3

Military training at the beginning of the university was a must for freshmen. 

The freshmen of University C were scheduled for military training according to different majors because they had to go to the military training base in the mountains.

Students from Yu Zhiyi’s Chinese Department and the Department of Medicine had the same schedule, so students from both departments went together. Of course, students had to hand over their mobile phones to the university before heading to the base.

“Wow, I heard that during training here, you can only take a shower once in ten days!”

“What? Won’t we be smelly then?” someone asked.

In fact, there was no restriction saying you couldn’t take a shower, but the training base was located in a mountainous area, so the water was very cold. Therefore, the majority of students endure it for ten days because the training would take place for ten days.

“The only thing I’m worried about is that I can’t touch my mobile phone for ten days,” another student said.

Yu Zhiyi’s Class 3 had a very strict instructor, and if someone made a mistake, they had to start over in front of everyone.

On the first day, two girls burst into tears because they were scolded badly. 

Seeing that, Yu Zhiyi was worried during training because she knew her motor skills were not good enough and she was afraid of making mistakes.

Every morning their temporary dormitories were checked; therefore, students woke up at five o’clock in the morning every day to fold their quilts into tofu blocks. After they finished folding their own quilt, they didn’t hesitate to help their friends because all the students had to be ready when the whistle blew. 

[Tl: “fold their quilts to tofu blocks”—the way Chinese soldiers fold their quilts resembles a “tofu tube.”

Every night when Yu Zhiyi went back to her room, she was really tired and lay on her bed, but it was difficult to fall asleep as she kept thinking about that person, whom she hadn’t seen for several days. Moreover, they didn’t have their phones, so Yu Zhiyi had no way to contact Shi Yi.

“Hey, I heard that some sophomores and juniors will come to see us tomorrow.”

During the training, the student unions of each department and the Youth League Branch assigned several cadres to visit the new students.

“They cannot cut short our training period, even if they show up. I pray that God will now treat us kindly. Oh, I hope it rains a lot.” Someone shouted out loud what nearly every student was thinking right now: “I don’t want to exercise anymore.”

They had been here for five days, and they were really exhausted. 

The sixth day came as usual, with the sun shining in the sky.

Seniors and juniors arrived at the camp on time. And they bought a lot of stuff for freshmen students. 

It was rare not to train in the hot sun, so Yu Zhiyi was sitting with her roommate in the hall and didn’t want to go anywhere.

During the break, a girl with an outstanding temperament walked into the crowd as if she were looking for something.

When Yu Zhiyi heard her roommates talking about a beautiful senior, she accidentally looked up and saw a familiar person passing by.

Students in military training all wore the same camouflage uniforms, and no one was allowed to walk around the base. 

‘That person is probably a senior sister who came to visit the new students today.’

That beautiful girl with a thin waist wore a purple short-sleeve shirt and jeans. Her chestnut hair was not too long or too short, and it was braided into two ponytails. 

She looked clear, beautiful, and not tacky. The unique beauty mark on the side of the nose was especially unforgettable. It precisely further proved Yu Zhiyi’s inner guess that this person looked like the beauty blogger Ximiao she followed before!

Seeing the pretty sister coming towards them, Yu Zhiyi got confused.

“Are you Yu Zhiyi? the senior student asked.

“Yes”

“Awesome, I finally found you.”

“You searched for me?”

The senior sister took some sunscreen out of her bag and gave it to her. “Someone asked me to give this to you. You can use this bottle for yourself and share the rest with friends if you like.”

Yu Zhiyi asked, “Is it Shi Yi? Did he ask you?”

The senior sister smiled and nodded. “He knows your phone is not with you, and he doesn’t know if the things he prepared before are enough. So he came to our student group for help.”

At first, the senior student didn’t care about Shi Yi’s request, but when she learned the boy’s name was “Shi Yi” and he was looking for a girl named “Yu Zhiyi,” she knew who “Yu Zhiyi might be.

If those two names appeared in different places, she wouldn’t mind it, but when she heard the two names of one of her favourite novels together, she decided to take action.

Yu Zhiyi took the items and thanked the senior sister. Seeing the senior sister still watching her with curious eyes, she pressed her lips together and asked quietly, “Excuse me, senior, are you the Xi on Weibo?”

Have a nice day!
