Chapter 28: In Class

  As usual, the team lined up, took roll call and started exercising. The difference was that Gong Qian would occasionally steal a glance at Gao Xiang, who was running alongside the team with an instructor, leading the male students' team. Gao Xiang shouted slogans in his characteristic military tone: "ya, er, ya..."

  Don't laugh, everyone, and don't despise it as being rustic - this is also a tradition! An iron-clad army camp with flowing water, no matter where you come from in the north or south, what dialect you speak, when you first arrive at the troops and hear the commands for the first time, they are all in this tone. After days of getting used to it, it gets imprinted on your mind, becoming a part of your memory, until you... take off that military uniform.

  Two columns of troops were running in formation around the base, Ye Dui and Gong Qian were in the same row. Seeing Gong Qian's distracted eyes darting back and forth, he teased her while running:

  "I'm telling you, sister, is this really happening? Last night I had a wet dream on the road, and now this morning I've started acting like a lovesick fool? In a little while, my eyes will be stuck staring at him, and I won't be able to look away..."

  Gong Qian made Ye's face turn red like a shrimp, and he stubbornly refused to admit it with a dead duck's hard mouth.

  "What are you talking about? You're still young and foolish! And who...who had that spring dream!"

  "So you explain, why is your face red? Haha..."

  "Who's blushing? I'm just running a fever..." Gong Qian's forehead was already beaded with sweat, and she didn't know if it was from nervousness or the actual heat.

  "Alright, stop staring, you're like a resentful wife. I have an idea, during class later, I'll make some arrangements and let the two of you sit together, how's that?" Ye smiled mischievously as she quickly ran two steps to catch up with the front row.

  After finishing breakfast, everyone rushed back to the dormitory to change into uniforms, grab their hats and books, and then hurriedly rush to the large classroom. This scene was very similar to the first class of a university's morning. The only difference was that the team was much more organized, and there were no comrades with buns in their mouths or soy milk in their hands.

  This morning's class was a foundational course - People's Police Professional Ethics. It's a big class that talks about the code of conduct as a people's police officer. Unfortunately, like most ideological and political courses, it's dry and tasteless, making it the top choice for dozing off or sleeping in class.

  Gong Qian and Ye Dui walked to the door, seeing Gao Xiang surrounded by Jia Junpeng, Wen Qi, Zhu Weitao and several other self-abased people sitting in the back row of the classroom, leaning against the wall. At this moment, they were all smiling and chatting, and didn't even notice Gong Qian and Ye Dui entering the classroom.

  I don't know who the scoundrel was, but he actually brought a deck of cards. Zhu Weitao took one and showed it to the left and right before putting it in the drawer; then Jia Junpeng also pulled out one, showing it briefly to both sides, while the four were busy comparing "digging holes"! (Digging holes is a Shaanxi game similar to Fight the Landlord, but without kings, 3 being the largest)

  Gong Qian couldn't help but laugh, "Heh heh" escaped her mouth. Ye Dui rolled her eyes with a hint of annoyance and said gruffly:

  "Flower crazy, you wait here, I'll go deal with those three."

  Ye first walked to the front row and put down his book, then whispered with several girls for a while. After finishing, he stood up and walked straight to the back of the classroom, knocked on Gao Xiang's desk in front of him, and then held up the frame and shouted at the three people:

  "Zhu Weitao, Wen Qi and others, go sit in the front, I have something to discuss with Gao Xiang!"

  Jia Junpeng as a magnificent "wait", but did not have this ideological awareness, impatiently retorted:

  "What's the point of sitting in front and doing nothing? Sleeping is more convenient!"

  Zhu Weitao and Wen Qi also looked unwilling, this class is so boring, can't they just yawn under the instructor's eyelids? Are you kidding me?!

  "Are you all sure?" Ye looked at the three of them with a smile that was not quite a smile, pointing forward with his head, licking his lips, and said enticingly:

  "Hey, there were a few beauties in front who also wanted to find some topics to talk about life, discuss ideals and make the dull 120 minutes pass quickly, unfortunately you guys didn't want to..."

  "Huh? "Where is it?" Jiang Junpeng was the first to stretch his neck, and indeed, several girls in the second row in front of them were collectively turning their heads towards them, smiling ambiguously, and Wang Min even hooked her little finger at him.

  Whoosh! The three of them swiftly pulled up their books and vanished into thin air without even saying goodbye. Gao Xiang was left standing alone, holding his number 3 paper, with his mouth agape in shock, unable to chase after them.

  Just as I was about to scold them, those three shameless guys had already mixed in with a group of girls, fawning and flattering, telling jokes and laughing. Zhu Weitao even pulled out a piece of chocolate and generously stuffed it into Tian Miao's mouth, who was shouting "I'm afraid of getting fat" but didn't hesitate at all...

  She gave him a charming smile and walked away. This time, Gao Xiang was completely speechless, didn't she have something to say?

  "Cough! Move a bit inside." With a turn of her head, Gong Qian stood beside him with a book in hand. Gao Xiang was taken aback at first, then chuckled and quickly made room for the class monitor, who said he was stupid?

  "No wonder Ye wanted to get rid of those three useless people. It turns out that the class president had some instructions, please sit down, please sit down..."

  Gong Qian didn't pretend to be shy and sat down beside Gao Xiang in a straightforward manner.

  Before she could even open her mouth, the instructor walked into the classroom with a serious face on time. Gong Qian listened to the instructor's lecture while opening her textbook, taking out her notebook and pretending to take notes, glancing at Gao Xiang's book, which was brand new...

  Gao Xiang pretended to listen in class, but his mind had already flown to Gong Qian's face, body and all the places he shouldn't be thinking about.

  Those who have been to school may all have this feeling, as long as there is a beautiful woman sitting next to them, even if she's not a beauty, it's okay. Originally thought that as soon as the class started, I wanted to sleep, but now I don't want to sleep; originally felt particularly boring and time passed slowly, now disappeared. At this moment, Gao Xiang is having this feeling, and the two of them tacitly listened to the politics lesson together. Gao Xiang was saved, but Gong Qian was depressed, sneaking a peek and finding that Gao Xiang seemed no different from usual, which made her even more uncertain about his thoughts. As she sat there, Gong Qian's mind wandered off.

  Because she was the class monitor, the instructor paid more attention to her. Seeing that she had shrunk to the back row during today's lesson and now openly daydreaming in class, the teacher on stage couldn't take it anymore. After being called up to answer a question and getting scolded, Gong Qian sat back down and thought for a moment, feeling stifled, so she straightforwardly used her elbow to nudge Gao Xiang, opened her notebook to a blank page, wrote a line: "Didn't you sleep last night?", and then pushed it over to Gao Xiang.

  Gao Xiang, still gloating, took a glance at Gong Qian and found that the corner of her mouth had curled up into a beautiful arc. While pondering the meaning of Gong Qian's words, he took the opportunity to stare at her intensely, making Gong Qian feel embarrassed. She turned her head and glared at him fiercely before lowering her head like an ostrich, shrinking behind the table. She scribbled some words on her notebook and pushed it back to Gong Qian, who looked at it and saw that it was written in a messy scrawl: "What does this mean?"

  Looking at the two big question marks, Gong Qian almost laughed out loud. Is this guy really confused or pretending to be confused? But isn't it more fun this way? She scribbled: It means playing with you...

  The notebook was returned, and Gao Xiang took a look, his eyes narrowing. Was it their plan all along? Assign the class monitor to make an appointment with me, and then prepare various tricks and traps for me? No way, if that's the case, wouldn't Gong Qian have told me already and ruined everything? Unwillingly, he wrote on the notebook: So, Class Monitor came to my place last night to tell me about her emptiness, loneliness, and coldness, asking me to accompany her for a walk and look at the moon just to play with me? I wonder if Class Monitor slept well last night?

  Gong Qian took a look and suddenly remembered the dirty talk that Ye Dui had said last night, as well as her own wild thoughts. She couldn't help but blush immediately. In her heart, she was also secretly annoyed - it turned out that this damned "landmine" actually understood everything, but pretended to be clueless! Ye Dui, you've gone blind!

  Gao Xiang glanced at Gong Qian, saw her face red like a pink apple, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. Could this girl really have taken a liking to him? Although he couldn't afford to dream of Nuo Ding Shan, it didn't hurt to indulge in a little fantasy, did it?

  Gong Qian was a bit angry and wrote fiercely in her notebook, which almost fell to the ground. She wrote with great force: "It seems I really underestimated you. Let's see how things go. Landmine, class monitor will definitely accompany you 'well'!!"

  Two exclamation marks that shocked the eyes were followed by two heavy black dots drawn with a black signature pen, looking like two black bombs.

  Gao Xiang's scalp felt numb, oh no, even the most promiscuous girls have a shy side sometimes, this is embarrassing. It seems they really were just playing with me yesterday, you do the first move and I'll do the fifteenth, anyway it's all like that now, I'll add some more fuel to the fire. Gao Xiang took over the notebook and wrote: You, and the girls in your dormitory, didn't underestimate me, but overestimated yourselves hahaha!! Behind it was also drawn a very cheap Jin Guanzhang bear with a playful expression...

  Gong Qian was indeed stimulated, and she gave Gao Xiang a cold glance. Without even saying hello, she raised her foot to kick him. Gao Xiang reacted quickly and lifted his leg just in time to block Gong Qian's incoming kick. The two of them were stunned for a few seconds, both feeling that something was off. Gong Qian's face turned red as she quickly pulled her leg back, and Gao Xiang also hastily put down his leg. For a while, neither of them transmitted any information, leaving only Gao Xiang savoring the soft and elastic sensation on the calf of Gong Qian's slender leg...

  After about 5 or 6 minutes, Gong Qian finally grabbed her laptop and rewrote a new post: Gao Xiang, do you know how wrong you are!! You have completely offended me!!

  Gao Xiang decided to go all out, since he had already offended them, might as well offend them thoroughly. He took over the laptop and wrote without hesitation: This is your own fault, not worth sympathizing with. Who let you try to bully me?

  She rushed over again: I don't care, you've completely offended me, just wait for me to get revenge on you!!

  Gao Xiang was taken aback, she's the class monitor, and her background is said to be quite intimidating. If she really wants me to wear small shoes because of this, what can I do? Forget it, let's make amends quickly! Gao Xiang hastily scribbled on his notebook: How about this, we'll just forget about it. From now on, you guys won't bully me, and I won't offend you either, okay?
