Chapter 301: Chapter 294 She is not wearing clothes

A student in haste picked up a basin, regardless of whom it belonged to, and headed to the restroom to fetch water. By that time, a crowd of students had already gathered outside, eager to watch the spectacle but held back by the barriers, no one dared to enter.

Meanwhile, Gu Ning turned around and walked out, paying no attention to the girl who was bowing her head, who then lifted her face to reveal an expression layered with complexity, tinged with an inexplicable sense of melancholy.

Soon after, a female student came in holding a half basin of cold water. Without needing further instruction, she carried the basin inside.

“Drill Instructor…” Lin Yile gently reminded, “Maybe you should step outside for a bit?”

“Step outside?” The instructor lowered his head, looking at the girl with her obedient demeanour, “Why should I step outside?”

“Because….” Lin Yile counted with her fingers, her cuteness rendering her akin to a little bunny. She discreetly pointed to Sun Xiaomeng, who was lying in bed and murmured, “She isn’t dressed.”

“Ahem …” The drill instructor swiftly stepped out, making sure all the boys in the room did the same, lest they cause embarrassment by seeing her undressed. How would she get married afterward?

With a “Splash!”, a basin of water was dumped directly onto the comforter, abruptly shock Sun Yumeng awake.

“Who dares to splash water on me? You all are trash, penniless, disgusting losers…” She yelled.

While she continued to spew insults, she ripped off her covers without a care. Beneath her covers, she still had on her revealing erotic lingerie. The sight, however, alarmed everyone in its vicinity soon after, a pig-like scream resounded from outside the room.

Thankfully, the drill instructor outside heaved a sigh of relief; if it weren’t for the young girl’s remark, he might have ended up peeking at her, thus gaining undue advantage with his eyes, and probably facing punishment later.

Sun Yumeng sat clutching her wet comforter, Shivering occasionally. Whether it was a result of her coldness, fear, or anger, nobody could tell.

It would undoubtedly be unbearable for anyone to experience the humiliation of being seen completely naked, even if it was by females.

The dorm leader decided that a bad review was due for the dorm.

As for Sun Yumeng, having faced such a huge humiliation whilst also being punished with a day-long military posture drill and her dorm mates being held responsible too, proved to them that a mistake committed by one person was essentially a mistake committed by all. It had been enough to sway their tolerance.

The four others were all innocent victims, but what could they do? Their dorm housed such a bizarre roommate, which was a rarity. They had seen foolish people before, but never someone as foolish as her.

They had seen foolish people before, but never someone as her.

She was both foolish and insane. Since the establishment of Qing University, she might be the biggest joke ever.

Under the midday sun, a blistering sphere hung just above their heads, pushing the temperature so high in September until sweat began to drip. Yet, they remained out there, standing under the scorching sun, on the verge of passing out.

A set of shuffling footsteps echoed by their ears, which attracted Tang Yuxin’s attention. She stole a glance and saw a few instructors walking by. Tang Yuxin immediately lowered her head because Gu Ning was among them.

It seemed like they were having a conversation, but she was standing too far away to make out what they were saying.

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Hu Fan asked, walking alongside Gu Ning. “Didn’t we agree to wait till the end of this military training?”

“Yes, something has come up at the company, I need to go back and take care of it.” Gu Ning replied nonchalantly, while indicating his business affairs had suddenly become pressing again.

“How long will you be busy this time? You claimed you were not only busy with the company’s affairs but sometimes also involved in case investigations. Do you consider yourself a superman?” Hu Fan felt pained by the timing of the command, having hoped he could rest for a while, but ended up having to set off again. And so it went, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Gu Ning, having managed a company, was often involved in case investigations due to his superior reasoning ability, thus leaving him with no breaks.

He wondered how long it would be before they could meet again?

“Perhaps two years,” Gu Ning responded in a brisk stride, his gaze stern and pointed, oblivious to the students who were undergoing punishment at the road’s edge.

It was only when they had walked far away that Tang Yuxin raised her head; she didn’t hear everything, but she managed to catch words like ‘something came up’, ‘a business trip’, ‘two years’.

She bowed her head again, focusing on her toes. By then, she was already sweating profusely. The intense sunshine was scorching their skin.

They had been standing all morning, their bodies almost sun-dried, and their legs ached as if they had been beaten. Nevertheless, they were supposed to continue military training in the afternoon, continuing until the evening.

The following day, Sun Yumeng learned her lesson. Although she still had a late night, she reluctantly woke up in the morning. She weighed her teapot finding it devoid of water, so she picked up another student’s teapot and started pouring water into it.

“Why are you pouring my water?” Ting Yuan walked in to find Sun Yumeng pouring her hot water and immediately felt uncomfortable. Sun Yumeng made her lose face as soon as she arrived at school, and she was punished for two days, including teaching posture. She was already quite uncomfortable, and now this bad apple wanted to pour her own water, she hadn’t used it yet.

“What’s the big deal about using a little bit of it, stingy.”

Sun Yumeng strolled off with the water basin. Ting Yuan checked her thermal flask to find it empty, not a single drop of water left. This was only using a bit, only pouring a little?

Apparently, she had completely emptied it.

“What happened?” When Tang Yuxin and Lin Yile returned with their meals, they found Ting Yuan holding a teapot and wiping her tears.

“Why are you crying?” Lin Yile was scared; did she get scalded by the hot water? It’s okay, Yuxin has medicine, apply it, and it would not hurt. She put down her steamed buns quickly and came to comfort Ting Yuan.

Ting Yuan looked up with teary eyes, feeling more aggrieved the more she thought about it.

“Sun Yumeng poured out all my hot water and scolded me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she burst into tears, clutching Lin Yile.

“She’s really too much,” said Lin Yile, who was also upset and looked like she was about to cry as well, “How could she bully people like that? Isn’t it enough to make us suffer twice?”

“It’s okay,” she pursed her lips and comforted Ting Yuan, “You can use my water. I have a lot, and I can’t finish it. We have to get more water at noon. We have to pour out these anyway.”

Tang Yuxin brought over the steamed buns and put them on the table, “Let’s eat first, we still have military training later.”

“Thank you…” Ting Yuan wiped her tears and began taking small bites of the steamed bun. By the time Sun Yumeng returned, humming a tune, she found herself alone in the room.
