“What if he just keeps running?” Pan Zhen asked with a puzzled look.
Zhang Chi put on a stern face: “Then let him run, you got that?!”
“That’s against the rules.” Pan Zhen, this little scumbag, was unusually stubborn for once.
“Rules?” Zhang Chi sneered, walked up to Pan Zhen and coldly asked: “Then tell me, what are the rules for military training?”
“I can run, it’s only me, it has nothing to do with my buddies.” Pan Zhen was back to his old tricks, trying to win people over.
Zhou Sheng Chen and Lu Qiao Chuan, along with the others, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Good heavens, it was this serious now, and he was still thinking about winning people over, they couldn’t help but admire Pan Zhen, this “Jian Ren”.
Zhang Chi was furious, he directly kicked Pan Zhen on the shin and roared: “Don’t talk back, run, now, right this minute.”
Seeing that the instructor was really angry, Pan Zhen suddenly deflated.
“Let’s run that film crew into the ground.”
It was unclear who shouted it first, but the other Directing students echoed the sentiment.
Zhou Sheng Chen cast a disdainful glance at those people, then winked at Lu Qiao Chuan and started running.
The Directing students quickly followed.
In their eyes, if they couldn't beat Zhou Sheng Chen, who was frighteningly strong, they could still beat Xiao Hai Yang and Lu Qiao Chuan, right?
They were fearless.
But reality would tell them that they would lose to all of them.
————
Half an hour later, Zhou Sheng Chen, Lu Qiao Chuan, and Xiao Hai Yang were far ahead of the bunch of weaklings from the Directing class, having already lapped them a circle and a half.
Only Xiao Hai Yang and Lu Qiao Chuan were nearing their limits, unable to run anymore.
“Zhou Sheng Chen, it’s been half an hour, and you haven’t even broken a sweat, are you even human?” A casual glance, but it shocked Xiao Hai Yang almost to the point of falling.
“You, what are you saying?” Lu Qiao Chuan hadn’t heard what Xiao Hai Yang had just said, so he asked.
“I said, Zhou Sheng Chen, he’s been running for half an hour without a drop of sweat.” Xiao Hai Yang said each word slowly.
“You’re joking again, this... this…”
Lu Qiao Chuan was about to say it was impossible, but he subconsciously looked at Zhou Sheng Chen and discovered that, as Xiao Hai Yang said, there wasn’t a single drop of sweat on his body.
“My physique is different from ordinary people, even when I’m tired I won’t sweat.” Zhou Sheng Chen took two breaths and explained.
The two nodded thoughtfully and continued running.
At the same time, over in the Second Platoon, Fourth Class, Yu Hao helped Bi Shi San back into formation.
Zhang Chi was watching the remaining students stand at attention when the Chief Instructor suddenly walked over.
With so many people running laps on the field, and for so long, the Chief Instructor had already noticed.
Seeing that they weren’t stopping, and had been running for over half an hour, the Chief Instructor worried that something might happen if they kept running, so he wanted to see which class those people were from.
Although he wasn’t directly responsible for training the students, the instructors were all his subordinates, and if something happened to any of the students during training, he wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility.
So he began to inspect each class, and finally arrived at Second Platoon, Fourth Class.
Seeing that this class had so few people, the Chief Instructor asked Zhang Chi: “Are those running laps on the field your students?”
“Yes.”
Zhang Chi's answer wasn’t very confident, because making most of the students run laps as punishment for the training time was indeed against the rules.
Confirming that those people were indeed from Zhang Chi’s class, the Chief Instructor couldn’t help but yell: “How long have they been running? Huh? Get them back here right now. Do you really think they’re soldiers under your command you can train everyday?”
“Yes!” Zhang Chi, for once, showed a look of embarrassment, and quickly told Yu Hao, who had just rejoined the formation, to go and call Zhou Sheng Chen and the others back.
Five minutes later, the Chief Instructor saw Zhou Sheng Chen and the others return safely and was finally satisfied. He left.
Perhaps because of the running, Pan Zhen had no energy to cause trouble, and things continued like this until dinner time.
At dinner, everyone except Zhou Sheng Chen was tearing at their steamed buns with a look of utter despair, stuffing them into their mouths one bite at a time.
“They’re so strange, these chatterboxes are so quiet during dinner?” Zhong Bai pointed at Zhou Sheng Chen’s table, holding a steamed bun in one hand and chopsticks in the other.
Lin Luo Xue replied: “I heard from other students in our class that they were scolded really badly by the instructor this afternoon, and barely got any rest.”
Zhong Bai nodded understandingly, then pointed at Zhou Sheng Chen and the others: “Look at their faces, they look like they just crawled out of a grave.”
“But people who crawled out of graves should be beaming with happiness, right?” Gu Yi Xin frowned in rebuttal.
Hearing the conversation, Zhou Sheng Chen walked over and said with a sullen look: “It’s one thing to say the other four are weaklings, but to say that about me is a bit too much, I’m not tired at all.”
He raised an eyebrow at Li Shu Ci: “Right, Shu Ci, little beauty?”
“I, I don’t know.” Li Shu Ci shyly lowered her head, flustered.
“So cute!”
Zhou Sheng Chen looked at Li Shu Ci’s shy appearance and couldn’t help but pinch her collagen-filled cheek.
“What are you doing?!” Zhong Bai slapped Zhou Sheng Chen’s hand away with her chopsticks and declared: “I’m telling you, don’t you dare bully Shu Ci just because she seems easy to take advantage of, I won’t allow it.”
Zhou Sheng Chen rolled his eyes: “Shu Ci is so cute, how could I possibly bear to bully her? Don’t think of me as some kind of ruffian, I’m not like that.”
“He he!” Gu Yi Xin sneered, “You know yourself what kind of person you are, do you want me to tell everyone about what you did on your first day here so we can all judge?”
Hearing this, Lin Luo Xue, Zhong Bai, Li Shu Ci, and the other girls at their table immediately looked at him with gossip-filled eyes.
“Go ahead then!” Zhou Sheng Chen challenged her with a glance, not afraid at all.
He didn’t believe that Gu Yi Xin would really dare to say it in front of so many people.
Besides, even if she did say it, what could she do? Would it hurt Zhou Sheng Chen, who had thick skin, even a little bit?
Moreover, even if some people believed her, what difference would it make?
“Ruffian!” Gu Yi Xin glared at Zhou Sheng Chen, but she was still too embarrassed to mention him forcefully kissing her that day.
Zhou Sheng Chen didn’t hold back, returning her glare.
You can glare all you want, I’m not scared of you.

After dinner, everyone rested for a while and then went back to the training ground, and those who had been involved in the fight were made to squat again.
