Chapter 040: Ouyang Huihui Comes Knocking
Another day of military training had ended.
When the instructor announced dismissal, all the neatly lined up students jumped up in excitement.
The hardship was far from over, but each day brought them a little closer to the end; at least today's suffering was in the past now.
Mechanical formation drills, scorching sun beating down—every day felt like an eternity.
Thinking about having a big meal soon, arranging their own time freely, and lying in bed without moving to stretch out their sore backs and bodies, those exhausted students were all beaming and cheering.
Today the instructor was relatively merciful, ending the training around 3:30 pm—how could they not be happy?
"Bros, let's go out for a big meal later, my treat," Cao Jianhui called out to Luo Ziling, Wu Longjiang, and Li Fuming. "I'm dead tired. I've lost a circle of weight these past few days. I need a good replenishment no matter what today. Later, just say what you want to eat."
Luo Ziling immediately agreed, as he was already starving to the point of feeling his stomach stick to his back and was eager to devour a heap of food.
Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang certainly would not object; getting a free meal and drinks with Cao Jianhui was something they wouldn't miss for the world.
A group of students who had become closer through the hardships of military training and were now clamoring to go out for a feast, when a girl dressed in military training uniform, looking dashing and striking, ran over to the training field of the Clinical Medicine Class One freshmen.
Upon sight of the girl's handsome features, the boys from Clinical Medicine Class One instantly went wild.
This girl was too beautiful.
That face, those model-like long legs—they sent their hormones surging in an instant.
Some daring individuals immediately went up to make acquaintance, asking for her phone number.
But the beautiful girl didn't pay any attention to the boys' attentiveness, and walked straight towards where Luo Ziling was standing.
After getting a clear look at the woman, Luo Ziling got scared and turned to run, eliciting a gasp from the rest of the students.
It was Ouyang Huihui.
Who would have thought that Luo Ziling would run upon seeing her? Furious, Ouyang Huihui disregarded the sideways glances from other students and chased in the direction Luo Ziling had fled, shouting as she went, "Luo Ziling, you bastard, stop right there! I have something important to talk to you about."
However, Luo Ziling wasn't swayed at all and continued to run at lightning speed, soon vanishing from sight.
Unable to catch up to Luo Ziling and not knowing where he would go, Ouyang Huihui was so angry she was jumping up and down, cursing Luo Ziling's ancestors for eight generations.
The sight of Luo Ziling running away in panic and Ouyang Huihui chasing after him while shouting stopped everyone in their tracks.
Damn, what's going on here?
Could it be that this tall, great-looking and beautiful girl was chasing after Luo Ziling?
Or did Luo Ziling cross the line with her and now he didn't want to take responsibility, and she came looking for him?
Or could it be...
In just an instant, several theories circulated among the students.
Cao Jianhui chased after them, his face all eager to please, and asked Ouyang Huihui, "Beauty, what do you want with our Boss?"
He recognized Ouyang Feifei. The day's events hadn't affected his fondness for Ouyang Huihui; for Cao Jianhui, the allure of a beautiful woman far outweighed other concerns.
Last time he had approached her trying to get to know Ouyang Huihui, nearly causing a huge incident. Now that Ouyang Huihui had come to them, he wouldn't miss this opportunity. With Luo Ziling running away, he could rightfully make his move.
Ouyang Huihui, already irked, turned around furiously and snapped at Cao Jianhui: "Mind your own business!"
"Classmate, we've met before, three days ago, I came over to ask for your number, and one of your admirers wanted to hit me." After Cao Jianhui introduced himself, he giggled and said, "I'm Luo Ziling's roommate. Are you looking for him for something?"
Ouyang Huihui recognized Cao Jianhui and softened her tone a bit, "I have something important to discuss with him. Can you help me find him?"
"He should have gone back to the dorm to shower. How about I take you to the dorm to find him?" Facing a beauty, Cao Jianhui shamelessly betrayed Luo Ziling.
"Okay!" Ouyang Huihui didn't hesitate and let Cao Jianhui take her back to the dorm to find Luo Ziling.
Rushing back to the dorm and taking advantage of the others not being back yet, Luo Ziling sneaked into the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, he was stunned to see Ouyang Feifei following Cao Jianhui into the dorm.
After glaring murderously at Cao Jianhui, who had betrayed him for a girl, Luo Ziling, regardless of only wearing slippers, grabbed Ouyang Huihui and pulled her outside the dorm.
"What do you want with me?" he asked roughly.
"You hurt me," Ouyang Huihui forcefully shook off Luo Ziling's hand and angrily said, "Hurry up and get dressed, come with me."
"To do what?" Luo Ziling became wary.
"You'll know when we get there. Hurry up and change, I'll wait for you at the entrance!"
"Not going!" Luo Ziling flatly refused, not doubting for a moment that Ouyang Huihui's intent was to seek revenge on him.
What other reason could this woman have for seeking him out other than revenge?
Definitely not to invite him out for dinner.
"Are you going or not?" Ouyang Huihui grew angry, unable to believe that Luo Ziling was not giving her face.
"Not going," Luo Ziling said, and then ignoring Ouyang Huihui, he walked back into the dorm and closed the door.
Seeing that Luo Ziling was not interested in Ouyang Huihui, Cao Jianhui became very anxious.
He could tell that there was definitely a scandalous relationship between Luo Ziling and this beauty named Ouyang Huihui, enemies with a complicated past maybe.
He had intended to pursue Ouyang Huihui, but after realizing there was a "secret affair" between her and Luo Ziling, he changed his mind.
He was about to open the door to let Ouyang Huihui in and create an opportunity for them to be alone together.
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Huihui kicked the door that Luo Ziling had just closed with a "bang" and barged in directly, giving both Cao Jianhui and Luo Ziling quite a shock. Cao Jianhui, who was about to open the door, nearly got hit by it, ending up in quite the embarrassing situation.
"Are you going or not?" She stormed up to Luo Ziling and demanded fiercely, "If you don't come with me, I'll... beat you up."
"Boss, how can you make a beauty angry?" Cao Jianhui desperately signaled to Luo Ziling with his eyes, "A beauty is asking you out, you should hurry up and go! I won't treat you to dinner tonight, you guys go have fun. Quick, go!"
He was really worried about Luo Ziling's intelligence and emotional quotient. Such a pretty girl, and she's a wealthy second generation, coming to the dorm to ask him out, yet Luo Ziling was not giving her face. He felt like strangling him on the spot.
He had thought that this pretty lady was some tycoon's mistress or a secret affair, but to his surprise, she was a freshman.
A girl who can afford a limited edition Ferrari, how could her family background be simple?
This is a golden phoenix, one must catch it. Cao Jianhui felt deeply pained by Luo Ziling's lack of tact.
He really wanted to say, if you won't do it, I will. If you miss this chance, do you think a better one will come along?
Looking at Cao Jianhui, who kept signaling with his eyes, and then at Ouyang Huihui, who looked like an angry little hen, Luo Ziling finally gave in to her menacing power.
"Fine, just wait outside for a moment, I'll change clothes!"
