Chapter 38: A Guangxi Native's Song Drives the Whole Crowd Crazy

The morning drill began at seven o'clock, lasting for half an hour, followed by breakfast. Today's temperature was noticeably higher than yesterday's, and with the increased training intensity, people gradually began to fail to hold on, with cases of heatstroke appearing frequently.

The delicate girls were better off; they could clutch their stomachs and lie about having their period, then happily sit under a big tree, revealing shallow smiles as they watched others train miserably under the scorching sun.

A few of the sharper girls who couldn't stand the harsh training began to sway their bodies, acting coquettishly toward Li Bufan in a delicate voice: "Instructor, I'm so tired, can we take a break?"

Li Bufan, a young man in his early twenties, couldn't handle such sugar-coated bullets. Although nothing could be seen on his dark face, his slightly reddened earlobes said it all.

When one person gains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

And then, the entire squad was led under the big tree.

"While we take a break, I will teach everyone to sing the military song 'Unity is Strength'."

Unity is Strength~

Unity is Strength~

This strength is iron~

This strength is steel~

They were university students, after all; they mastered the simple lyrics and melody in no time and began to sing along with Li Bufan, line by line.

"Pfft!"

Yet just at this moment, several abrupt snickers were inappropriately mixed in.

"Who is laughing?" Li Bufan barked with a dark face, his sharp eyes scanning the crowd below rapidly.

And he quickly locked onto Shen Yan, Lin Yang, and Wu Yue'er.

"Why is it you three again?"

The whole class's gaze focused over in an instant.

Even facing Li Bufan's murderous glare, Lin Yang was still laughing until he was out of breath, saying intermittently: "Re... report instructor, it... it's not that I want to laugh, someone is acting up over there and making me laugh."

Li Bufan came before the group and asked the more composed Shen Yan to explain what was going on.

Shen Yan glanced at the Guangxi native Pang Weijie beside him, suppressed his laughter, and said: "Report instructor, my verbal expression might not be accurate. I suggest you let this classmate sing the song again, and the answer will reveal itself."

Li Bufan looked puzzled, but still ordered Pang Weijie to perform a segment.

Pang Weijie complied with the order, looking calm and relaxed.

Unity is your mother~

Unity is your mother~

This mother is iron~

This mother is steel~

As soon as Pang Weijie sang the first line of lyrics, Li Bufan was stunned, then opened his mouth wide, his expression gradually turning to stone.

"Pfft!"

"Honk honk honk!"

All the classmates burst into laughter, looking at Pang Weijie as if he were a god.

Where on earth did this talent come from! His Mandarin is so damn standard!

They had almost been led into the ditch, forgetting the correct way to sing.

Li Bufan, with a dark face, told Pang Weijie to stop immediately, then emphasized: "Follow me and sing, Unity is Strength."

Pang Weijie: "Unity is your mother~"

"Strength."

"Your mother!"

"Unity is Strength~"

"Unity is your mother~"

The students went crazy with laughter again. Before long, the name Pang Weijie resounded throughout the entire class. Perhaps everyone would never forget that during military training, a Guangxi native presented everyone with a unique military song.

Li Bufan covered his face and asked the heavens in silence; for a moment, he even wanted to die.

Heavens! It wasn't enough to have someone in the class who couldn't tell left from right, now there's an accent freak who stands out from the crowd.

Can this class even be led?

He had originally planned to take first place in the military training performance, but now... he just wanted to be quiet, don't ask who "Quiet" is.

Hopefully, such a talent won't be discovered by the chief instructor.

After the instructor left, many students, including Yu Youwei and other girls, immediately gathered around, staring at Pang Weijie as if looking at a gorilla in a zoo. Various questions followed one after another, the purpose of which was nothing more than to interact more with Pang Weijie and listen to that unique accent.

"Can't understand, can't learn."

"So hot, hot to death!"

Watching Yu Youwei's smiling face, Pang Weijie scratched the back of his head and grinned, not caring at all about being treated as a joke, but instead secretly pleased.

At the very least, the goddess had completely remembered him, rather than treating him as an insignificant passerby.

Shen Yan had long since grown accustomed to Pang Weijie's tone of voice over the past two days, so he didn't pay much attention. After wiping on some sunscreen, he just wanted to drink some water, but his water bottle was already empty.

Helpless, he could only get up and go to the supermarket to buy some.

Hey! Luo Qiqi seemed to have brought two bottles of water today; Shen Yan had seen it clearly when they arrived at the playground just now.

"Luo Qiqi, Lin Yang finished his water and wants to buy a bottle from you." Knowing this girl didn't like him, when he got to her, Shen Yan could only tell a trivial lie.

Luo Qiqi scanned him, a flash of shrewdness in her eyes, and said bluntly: "You can buy water, ten yuan a bottle."

"How much?"

Shen Yan couldn't believe his ears, his eyes wide.

"Ten yuan, you're young, don't tell me you're hard of hearing," Luo Qiqi said, not without smugness.

"Good grief! Two-yuan water, you're selling it for ten yuan; the qualities of a profiteer are displayed to the fullest in you."

Although he had long known that Luo Qiqi was "starving" for money, they were classmates after all. Even though they didn't get along, there was no need to be that ruthless.

Luo Qiqi did not feel ashamed in the slightest; instead, she reached out her hand and said with a chuckle, "Thanks for the compliment! A merchant isn't a merchant without being unscrupulous; that'll be ten yuan, please!"

Seeing this, Wu Yue'er covered her mouth to stifle a laugh, looking like someone who loved to watch the chaos unfold, while Chen Shanni remained silent; Yuan Mingqing, however, felt this wasn't quite right and advised, "Qiqi, why don't you lower the price a bit? We're all classmates."

"Stay out of this; whether to buy or not is entirely voluntary." Luo Qiqi looked as if she had Shen Yan right where she wanted him.

A flash of inspiration struck Shen Yan, and he snatched the water away, saying, "I don't have any money on me; go ask Youwei for it later."

Then he twisted off the cap and gulped it down.

"You..." Luo Qiqi was so angry her eyes turned green.

Ask Yu Youwei for it? How could she bring herself to say that? She couldn't very well say she sold a bottle of water to Shen Yan for ten yuan; they were all in the same dormitory, and while she was indeed greedy for money, she couldn't just take everyone's cash.

Damn it! Why was this bastard so infuriating?

"Honk honk honk!" Wu Yue'er couldn't help but laugh with a sound like a goose; it was such a devious trick for Shen Yan to come up with. Luo Qiqi had already spent plenty of time in the dormitory complaining about Shen Yan, and now, they had truly crossed each other.

Life was really starting to look forward to something.
