Novel Full Chapter 1138: Commander Xu Zhenyu
Finally, the freshmen got ready and arrived at the canteen before ten. Everyone was dressed in impeccable camouflage uniforms and hats, appearing suave and youthful.
The canteen was situated on the first floor of the building, and had already been converted into an auditorium. There were mottled marks on the white walls which had been heavily discolored. The canteen was spacious and contained rows of wooden tables and chairs. The oil stains could not be removed, regardless of how hard the soldiers tried to wash them. Hence, the freshmen felt extremely disgusted, though they dared not express their resentment.
It seems they had already accepted the terrible living conditions. After all… they would have to spend the upcoming month there.
The freshmen got into position.
Wen Xinya and Ye Feiyu were assigned to the seats in the front row.
Despite being dressed in the baggy camouflage uniform, Wen Xinya still remained seated with poise and elegance, thus earning the approval of several counselors.
At ten sharp, the side door of the auditorium opened with a creak and a military commander entered, dressed in a green uniform. He appeared extremely suave and the freshmen almost broke into an uproar.
Standing in front of them was a Senior Colonel who appeared to be in his thirties and had a look of determination on his cool face. The girls began gushing over him.
Wen Xinya noticed that the 1.83m-tall commander who was walking beside the senior colonel seemed to stand out the most even though he was not the tallest. His eyes which were shaped like peach flowers were full of determination and yet, still extremely alluring.
Xu Zhenyu!
Turns out it’s really him.
Wen Xinya was filled with joy, for she did not expect that Xu Zhenyu had already returned. Neither did she think that he would show up here. She was then reminded of the 20-year-old dashing commander that Ye Feiyu was talking about. She was probably referring to Xu Zhenyu!
Will he become my commander this time?
As happy as a lark, Wen Xinya stared at Xu Zhenyu whom she could not take her eyes off because it had been too long since she saw him.
Laden with excitement, Ye Feiyu did not bother restraining herself at all. She stared at Xu Zhenyu dreamily while grabbing Wen Xinya’s arm. “Xinya, hurry and look at the second guy. That major is the one I told you about previously. Oh my god… he’s incredibly dashing. I can’t take it anymore… my heart is racing and my blood is pumping so quickly.”
Wen Xinya agreed with a nod. “Yes, he’s very handsome.”
Xu Zhenyu had the face of a ladykiller and Wen Xinya could tell ever since they were young, that he had the potential to be a hunk. Not to mention, he had now grown into a stable and mature soldier who was irresistibly charming.
Wen Xinya shifted her gaze onto the freshmen in the auditorium, all of whom were gushing and turning red with excitement. They would get to enjoy staring and swooning over hunks for the next four weeks.
Ye Feiyu placed her hands on her face and said, “Xinya, he’s the most handsome man I’ve ever seen, hands down.”
She was particularly enticed by how suave he looked in the military uniform. Ah… so handsome.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “He probably looks more stunning because of the military uniform.”
Most Chinese girls had romantic fantasies about solders and would often do a double-take at military personnel dressed in camouflage uniforms. Hence, Wen Xinya could understand how Ye Feiyu felt.
Reason being, she was equally agitated.
Ye Feiyu nodded fervently in agreement and asked, “I wonder if this commander will be in charge of our group.”
Wen Xinya expressed assent mindlessly and kept her eyes fixed on Xu Zhenyu.
At this moment, Xu Zhenyu stared at her and winked at her casually as a form of greeting.
Since Wen Xinya was surrounded by all sorts of hunks like Si Yiyan, Zhong Rufeng, Gu Junling and Ling Qingxuan, she had gotten used to seeing good looking men. However, she suddenly felt a little distracted after making sudden eye contact with Xu Zhenyu.
She was purely admiring Xu Zhenyu’s charm.
Ye Feiyu tugged Wen Xinya’s arm and exclaimed. “Xinya, Xinya… did you hear what I said!?! Are you too engrossed in ogling at hunks!?!”
To Ye Feiyu, Wen Xinya was a calm, coolheaded and rational girl who would not be easily affected by men. Hence, she was rather surprised to see that Wen Xinya had gotten distracted by a hunk.
Wen Xinya snapped out of her trance and asked, “What did you say just now?”
Ye Feiyu said in surprise, “Xinya, he looked at me just now, he really looked at me. Ah…”
Wen Xinya was speechless. She was certain that she was the one Xu Zhenyu was looking at. However, it was only normal for Ye Feiyu to be mistaken because the two of them were seated beside each other.
The commanders sat down and remained silent and stern.
The meeting began.
After welcoming the freshmen, the commander in charge got straight to the chase. “The purpose of military training is to improve students’ political awareness through rigorous military training, stimulate patriotism, develop grit, tenacity, perseverance, collectivism and pass on the spirit of revolutionary heroism. We also want to help the students become disciplined and develop good learning habits and lifestyles, as well as master basic military knowledge. Next, hall of you will be undergoing the four-week military training here at the training ground. I hope you can all take the program seriously.”
The university authorities also made their speech, which was much lengthier compared to the military. The freshmen were briefed on the attitudes they ought to have as well as the safety precautions and procedures that they had to follow.
The meeting only came to an end after an entire hour. The ten young military officials present then descended the stage and exchanged handshakes with the teachers before the meeting officially ended.
Wen Xinya could sense that Xu Zhenyu had been staring at her intensely throughout the entire briefing, making her feel rather stressed. Whenever she held his gaze, he would smirk at her subtly.
She was extremely frustrated.
