55: Chapter 55 Wow! He's so handsome!

Just as they were noisily arguing.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

As Li Yan walked toward the rest area, she saw many people gathered there, and the girls from her class were also running toward the boys' rest area.

What happened?

A hint of doubt flashed in Li Yan's eyes.

"What happened?"

Li Yan stopped a girl from her class and asked curiously.

"Just now, Zhao Yang stood up to the instructor! So handsome! Truly very handsome, Counselor!"

The girl was clearly infatuated.

Seeing the girl like this, Li Yan frowned.

She quickly walked to the rest area.

She saw that Class Monitor Zhou Xing and the others were all there.

"Class Monitor, I bought two cases of water for you all at the school supermarket. Take a few people to get them; just give my name. Zhao Yang, come over here for a moment! Everyone else, rest where you are!"

Li Yan said to the surrounding crowd.

Zhao Yang smiled slightly and followed Li Yan away from the crowd.

They arrived at a slightly more secluded corner of the playground.

"What's going on? I heard you had a conflict with the instructor?"

Li Yan asked Zhao Yang, her eyes filled with a trace of anxiety.

"Don't worry, it's nothing!"

Zhao Yang gave the Counselor a brief account of what had just happened.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Wow! Qingqing! Did you see that just now? That Zhao Yang is really so handsome! So handsome, so handsome!"

Mei Lin looked completely infatuated, as if she were about to faint.

The way Zhao Yang had just stood his ground and talked back to the instructor really made Mei Lin feel he was too handsome!

"A male god! That's a male god right there!"

"He is indeed handsome!"

Zhou Xuan, who usually didn't speak much, rarely spoke up.

"Mhm, Uncle's way of handling things is indeed very experienced!"

Gu Qing smiled slightly, her eyes narrowing as she spoke.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

At this moment, Wang Ting looked at her three roommates with a face full of vigilance.

"I was the one who said I liked Zhao Yang first! None of you spoke up back then! Now, you're not allowed to compete with me!"

"Hehe!"

Mei Lin laughed, her eyes gleaming with a sly light as she looked at Wang Ting.

"Tingting, we didn't speak up then, but as far as I know, Zhao Yang hasn't really responded to the messages you sent him!

Which means you're not even with Zhao Yang right now, so why call it 'competing'?"

"You, you, you!"

Hearing Mei Lin's words, Wang Ting suddenly became anxious.

"Mei Lin has a point."

Zhou Xuan, as usual, was brief and to the point.

"Alright, alright."

Gu Qing smiled.

"Let's leave this to our own abilities. Wang Ting, wait until Zhao Yang actually becomes your boyfriend before saying that!

Otherwise, even if we in the dorm don't compete with you, would Zhao Yang necessarily choose you?"

As Gu Qing said this, she felt a slight strange sensation in her heart.

The way Zhao Yang had just stood toe-to-toe with the instructor made him look like a hero.

So calm, so brave.

He truly lived up to being the boy she had gotten along with since the start of school...

Thinking of this, Gu Qing felt a bit confused.

She had never liked a boy before and didn't know what that feeling was like.

Because over the years, although many boys liked to surround her, of all sorts of looks—even very handsome ones.

But Gu Qing didn't fancy any of them, because she felt the boys around her were somewhat mentally immature, while those elegant and mature men, though they seemed fine to her.

Such men were often nearly forty years old; her reason and emotions both told her it was impossible to fall for such a man.

But Zhao Yang was truly different, different from all the men Gu Qing had seen before.

His level of maturity wasn't even inferior to the forty-year-old men she had seen, yet he indeed possessed the high spirits of a young man.

It was as if his young body contained the soul of a middle-aged man.

This contrast made Zhao Yang's allure to Gu Qing skyrocket.

That's why Gu Qing had given Zhao Yang the slightly ambiguous nickname, Uncle.

However, Gu Qing, who had no romantic experience, hadn't figured this out yet; she couldn't see her own heart clearly.

She just instinctively felt uncomfortable with Wang Ting's liking for Zhao Yang, but couldn't pinpoint the source of this discomfort.

The scene of Zhao Yang talking back to the instructor was seen by many onlookers, and many were discussing it; some girls even started acting infatuated on the spot.

Of course, more people were discussing information like Zhao Yang's name and class.

On the other side.

Zhao Yang gave Li Yan a brief account of what had just happened.

Li Yan looked at Zhao Yang with a complex expression.

"You were right, but for this kind of thing, with your methods, you should have been a bit softer; there was no need to be so confrontational with the instructor.

It's still very easy for him to mess with you right now."

"Don't worry!"

The corners of Zhao Yang's mouth curled up slightly as he looked at Li Yan and said with a smile.

"I know what I'm doing."

"Mhm, as long as you know what you're doing."

Li Yan nodded.

"Then I'll head out first. Remember not to have any more conflicts with the instructor."

Li Yan was still somewhat worried and continued to urge Zhao Yang.

"Mhm."

After saying that, Li Yan left.

When Zhao Yang returned to the rest area, Class Monitor Zhou Xing was the first to greet him.

He handed a bottle of water and an ice cream to Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang took them casually.

"Brother Yang! Thanks a lot this time!"

Zhou Xing looked at Zhao Yang and spoke sincerely.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been in big trouble this time!"

"It's nothing, we're classmates. But pay more attention to this kind of thing in the future; university is different from high school.

Leading a group fight is really not easy to handle if they decide to make an issue of it!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

While speaking, Zhao Yang opened the ice cream and took a couple of bites.

And just then, Instructor Wang Xi arrived at the playground.

He saw Zhao Yang eating the ice cream.

"Fall in!"

He barked sharply.

"Everyone, drop what's in your hands and assemble before me immediately!"

After saying that, Instructor Wang Xi deliberately swept his gaze toward Zhao Yang.

Zhou Xing and the others also turned their eyes toward Zhao Yang.

They knew very well that the instructor was targeting Zhao Yang right now.

So petty!

Zhao Yang smiled slightly. He didn't do anything else, just casually wrapped up the ice cream and threw it into the nearby trash can.

During the afternoon training, due to the influence of the incident with Zhou Xing, Instructor Wang Xi kept a cold face and became even stricter with all the students.

His gaze would also fixate on Zhao Yang from time to time; it could be said that eighty to ninety percent of his attention was on Zhao Yang.

But to the instructor's great disappointment, he didn't catch a single problem with Zhao Yang!

The movements Zhao Yang performed made even this veteran soldier sometimes marvel—they were too standard!

So standard that it was hard for him to even find a flaw!
