The hellish morning finally passed.
Lu Youran immediately dragged Wen Tingxue and Jiao Yutong to the north cafeteria.
"No, no, I have to eat three big bowls to replenish my energy!"
Wen Tingxue: "..."
Let's see if you can even get any.
In the cafeteria, people were everywhere you looked.
Lu Youran wanted to eat lion's head meatballs, and Wen Tingxue and Jiao Yutong accompanied her.
As they waited in line, Lu Youran looked back and said, "Xuebao, look at the person in front of me, doesn't he look like that scoundrel Fu?"
Wen Tingxue looked up, and Fu Ran happened to turn his head.
Their eyes met, and Fu Ran raised his eyebrows with interest.
Wen Tingxue: "..."
It really is a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
With so many cafeterias, so many windows, how could they possibly run into each other?
And in positions one behind the other, no less.
"Oh, isn't this the little junior who confessed to our Young Master Fu? You've followed him all the way here."
"Her persistence is certainly admirable."
"Hahaha, given how hard she's trying, Young Master Fu should at least give her a chance."
Fu Ran neither responded nor intervened.
He adopted a completely permissive attitude.
The number of onlookers instantly increased.
Lu Youran gritted her teeth, "Talk your nonsense! When did this old lady ever confess to him! I clearly..."
"What? You did it, but you're afraid to admit it?" Fu Ran suddenly looked up, his voice laced with a smile.
Lu Youran paused for a second before understanding what he meant.
"Fu Ran!!!"
The young girl put her hands on her hips and glared at him, looking like an angry pufferfish.
"Are you shameless or not?! Was I looking for you to confess that day?!"
"Yes," Fu Ran deliberately admitted in front of everyone, "You were even crying then."
Lu Youran's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Wooooo——"
Cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd.
"I knew that post was real."
"Fu Ran has no reason to lie, right?"
"Confessing and not admitting it, you were quite confrontational on the forum back then, so it's confirmed."
Fu Ran looked at the trembling Lu Youran with amusement.
Since she dared to call him petty, he would show her just how petty he could be.
"Fine!"
Lu Youran pointed her trembling index finger at him, glaring fiercely.
"Fine, you just wait!"
She would make him pay sooner or later!
Fu Ran raised his eyebrows nonchalantly.
Then he turned and took the last two lion's head meatballs.
Lu Youran: "..."
Ahhhhhh!
She was going to kill Fu Ran!
He stole her food, an unforgivable offense!!!
"I really want to smash that bowl of rice in his face. Stealing my lion's head meatballs, what a heinous crime!"
Lu Youran glared at Fu Ran, who was not far away, through gritted teeth.
Wen Tingxue looked at the mashed rice in her bowl.
"You should eat your rice first, lest you don't have the strength to flip his bowl later."
"Hmph!"
The young girl raised her chin proudly, "Wasting food is shameful, I won't commit a crime because of him. I have plenty of ways to deal with him! Just you wait and see!"
Wen Tingxue and Jiao Yutong: "?"
-
Evening.
The utterly grueling military training finally ended, and Lu Youran and the others dragged their "injured legs" back to the dormitory.
Meng Xiyao, who was on the phone with Jing Xiao, immediately hung up.
"You guys... did your legs split?"
She looked at their peculiar gaits and couldn't help but ask.
"I wish my legs had split! This military training is too torturous! No, it's the instructor who's too torturous!!"
Lu Youran slumped onto a chair and roared at the sky.
"The chief instructor's show of force directly crippled my legs, and the instructor keeps picking on me!!"
During the afternoon training, she was lost in thought about Fu Ran and was a few seconds slower in her movements.
It was truly only a few seconds!
And then—she was targeted by the instructor.
Good heavens, not only did he single her out, but he deliberately told jokes!
He would always choose the moments when they were about to give up or when time was running out!
Knowing that she would easily crack up, he insisted that she stand facing everyone.
The feeling of holding back laughter until it hurt, and her face twitching until it was numb, was something she never wanted to experience again.
Lu Youran looked up and asked enviously, "How did you get an exemption? You didn't even have to go. That's too awesome!"
Meng Xiyao smiled, "I just had surgery and can't do strenuous exercise or be exposed to wind."
Her skin was delicate and couldn't be sunburnt.
So, she called Lan Shuo, and Young Master Lan indeed handled it for her.
Jiao Yutong glanced at her faintly. Can't be exposed to wind? But can drink alcohol?
Meng Xiyao dodged guiltily, "Oh right, my admirer sent me a lot of things again.
"Take a look, if there's anything you want to eat, it's on my desk."
As soon as she finished speaking, a message popped up from Bian Wei: [Why hasn't she added me as a friend yet?]
Meng Xiyao frowned and typed: [In a moment.]
"Is this the blackout curtain you bought? It's so pretty, can you share the link with me?"
Meng Xiyao took her phone to Wen Tingxue's desk.
She touched the still partially unsealed package with admiration.
Wen Tingxue looked at the bubble wrap in her hand and said, "I'll send it to you after I finish washing my clothes."
"No need to bother, can I just send it to myself directly from your phone?"
She looked at her with hopeful eyes, "It'll be very quick, I won't pry into your privacy at all, I promise!"
She raised her hand as if to swear.
Wen Tingxue didn't have many secrets, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Then she gave him the password.
Meng Xiyao immediately sent a message to Bian Wei: [Add her now! Hurry!]
...
After showering, Wen Tingxue forced herself to install the blackout curtain.
"I know!" Lu Youran suddenly came back to life.
Wen Tingxue was startled and asked, clutching her chest, "You know what?"
Lu Youran took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth:
"The reason I'm so unlucky today must be that scumbag Fu Ran!
"Before I met him, I could get three bottles in a row from 'open the cap for a prize'!
"After meeting him, nothing goes right for me! Even during military training, I'm targeted by the instructor!
"I'm so unlucky! I'm the unluckiest person ever!"
"Have you thought of a way to deal with him?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Wenli's video call popped up, and Wen Tingxue casually answered.
On the screen, the young man in camouflage uniform had sharp features and resolute eyes, every frame like a poster.
His profile, wearing a military training cap, was breathtakingly handsome in the flickering light.
Wen Tingxue was instantly captivated.
Lu Youran lay back down, "I've thought about it, but it will take time.
"However, my biggest worry right now isn't that unlucky god Fu Ran, but the instructor!"
"Hmm?"
Blinded by beauty, she hadn't heard what Lu Youran said clearly.
Lu Youran repeated helplessly, "I mean the instructor! He's too good at tormenting people! Although he's very handsome, but..."
Yu Wenli didn't hear the rest of her words, but he caught one phrase, "The instructor is handsome?"
He didn't know where he was, and the light flickered, creating a natural filter on his face.
Wen Tingxue didn't want to admit she was stunned by his handsomeness, so she deliberately said, "He's quite handsome, I'll send you a screenshot."
Someone in the group had taken a photo of the instructor. Although it was blurry, his superior features could be seen.
Wen Tingxue forwarded the photo to him.
She also took screenshots of some chat records where girls were discussing how handsome the instructor was, and sent them after blurring out personal information.
However, the moment she sent them, Wen Tingxue noticed that one of the screenshots seemed to have... someone confessing to her?!
And it was a private message!!
She quickly retracted it.
The next second, Yu Wenli raised his eyes faintly, stopped walking, and leaned against a nearby pillar, looking like he was about to settle a score.
"Excuse me, I saw it."
Wen Tingxue: "..."
Fu Ran must really be an unlucky god, otherwise why would he bring misfortune to her too!!!
