Chapter 529: Activities That Must Be Passed Down
Over at the Business Administration reception desk, Lu Yaoyao watched the two kissing in full view of everyone, her expression complex and her eyes dim.
Xia Nuannuan pushed Qin Tian away with a flushed face, glaring at him with a shy, reproachful look.
The surrounding girls had also recovered from their astonishment; their eyes, fixed on the pair, were sparkling, and they began to whisper to each other with excitement.
"The Class Monitor... is so bold..."
"I'm shipping this, I'm shipping this! Who could handle this!"
"That freshman just got hit with a critical strike; it's too tragic."
"A simple yet effective way to handle it, I really never saw that coming!"
"I told you to rest for a while; why are you running back and forth in such hot weather? Look at the sweat on your forehead and nose."
Qin Tian said with a calm expression and a doting tone.
"I'm not like you, so good at slacking off."
Xia Nuannuan muttered in a low voice with her head bowed.
Qin Tian pretended not to hear, picked up the phone from his lap, stuffed it back into his pocket, patted his leg, and said, "Come on, sit on my lap and rest for a while."
Xia Nuannuan looked up blankly for a moment, then shook her head like a rattle-drum.
"No, no!"
"Hurry up!"
Qin Tian grabbed her wrist directly and urged her in an unquestionable tone.
"Don't be like this... there are so many people..."
Xia Nuannuan took half a step back with a blushing face, still shaking her head in refusal.
"Hurry up, that freshman is still watching this way. Sit here and rest for a bit, and by the way, let him give up his delusions, otherwise I'll get jealous!"
Qin Tian feigned a serious and earnest expression.
Xia Nuannuan looked up and gave him a resentful roll of her eyes, then turned to look; she saw that the freshman was indeed still standing there, staring fixedly at them.
Now she was a bit conflicted.
Thinking of Lu Yaoyao, who was surely watching from over there as well, Xia Nuannuan bit her lip with her pearly teeth, then slowly sat sideways on his lap as told, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her flushed little face in his shoulder.
"Oh my god, I really can't bear to look!"
A girl in the class covered her face with both hands, peeking through her fingers.
Several other girls wore the same "auntie smile," turning their heads away to pretend they didn't see anything.
Not far ahead, that freshman's face was incredibly ugly, his jealousy and unwillingness plain to see; after glaring fiercely at Qin Tian, he turned and left.
He was not from this department; his reception point was elsewhere.
At this very moment, he felt his entire heart shatter into glass shards; the excited and joyful mood he had felt upon seeing Xia Nuannuan had vanished completely, and the bitterness and frustration in his heart had nowhere to be vented.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
Having just graduated from high school and looking forward to a sweet romance descending upon him, this freshman tasted the bitterness of love deeply for the first time.
Watching the boy disappear from sight, Qin Tian didn't remind Xia Nuannuan; he truly felt sorry for this girl and wanted her to sit and rest for a while longer.
As for the gazes of attention all around, he had long been accustomed to taking them in stride.
Is there a problem with holding and doting on one's own wife?
After finishing her procedures, Lu Yaoyao left quietly with a desolate expression.
The successive heavy blows had left her unable to find a direction to keep striving.
Between those two, it seemed there was simply no gap for an outsider to step into.
Freshman registration lasted for two days in total; during this time, as long as one wasn't too emotionally dense and was a bit bold, they basically managed to get the contact information of several freshmen.
For those who were a bit more handsome and proactive, it went without saying; for two days, their phones never left their hands, switching between several chat windows to talk, and if they weren't careful, they might even send a message to the wrong person.
Of course, this only increased the possibility of getting into a relationship; whether it would actually work out depended on what followed.
In this day and age, freshmen aren't all innocent and easy to fool; among them are many high-level players, and if they aren't careful, the seniors might be the ones jumping into someone else's fishpond.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, however, didn't add a single contact.
It wasn't that no one asked; on the contrary, there were many freshmen who approached them to ask for contact information, and they were all quite confident in themselves, at least the kind that looked high-quality.
But the two of them didn't give a single chance.
Precisely because of this, some things about the two of them quickly spread among many freshmen of this year, causing quite a stir.
Fortunately, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan were already used to this and were not affected at all.
The day after freshman registration ended happened to be Monday; senior students began their formal classes, and the freshmen of this year also began their military training.
When the news spread that the freshman military training this year had been extended from half a month last year to nearly a month, many sophomores were delighted, wishing they could beat drums and gongs.
The freshmen naturally complained endlessly, and quite a few posted on the school forum and bulletin boards to protest.
Of course, the protests were definitely ineffective.
The school stated that this was the general trend, and in order to improve the physical fitness of the vast number of college students, the duration of military training in schools across the country had been extended accordingly.
Class break.
Students in the classroom looked out through the windows and could see square formations of freshmen on the school's playground and track, sweating under the sun.
"We only have one class this afternoon; do you guys think we should buy some milk tea or watermelon or something and go see the freshmen?"
A certain boy suggested with a smile.
"Why? You're so generous, wanting to treat them to melon and milk tea?"
"You're overthinking it; have you forgotten what the seniors did when we had military training last year? I mean to follow their example; this kind of activity is something we must pass down!"
"Holy crap, you're so cheap, but I agree, let's do it together."
"I want to find a formation with more pretty junior girls, hehehe..."
"Count me in."
Meanwhile, Qin Tian and the others were also discussing this matter.
Chen Zhuang suggested that everyone buy some ice cream and milk tea later, and go sit together in rows at the place where they once had military training.
"Chen Dazhuang, can you do something decent for once!"
Shen Siqi rolled her eyes in disgust.
"No, Siqi, this is a school tradition. Have you forgotten that if it weren't for Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan treating us last year, we would have been pissed off to death by those seniors who were just watching the show?"
Chen Zhuang said with a serious expression.
Hearing this, Shen Siqi was stunned, and a look of hesitation appeared on her face.
"I agree, I'm definitely going anyway."
Cao Mingliang cast his vote with a cheeky grin, while simultaneously using his phone to send messages rapidly.
This scoundrel had added quite a few more contact details for junior girls on his phone, and he had been very busy these past two days, especially chatting most enthusiastically with those junior girls who had crushes on boys back in high school, or even had boyfriends.
"I also want to go join in the fun. At worst, we'll just buy a bit more, and if the instructor lets them take a break, we can just share it with them!"
Cheng Meng said with a smile.
"That makes three votes. Qin Tian, Xia Nuannuan, what do you say?"
Chen Zhuang cast an inquiring gaze toward the two sitting together.
