Chapter 53: Eating cake, it tastes good
After showing off for a while, Xu Yan rolled his eyes and walked back to the dormitory. Standing at the door, he shouted, "Okay, everyone, don't rest. Hurry up and go to the playground. Before the afternoon training starts, help Da Nian with tutoring. We must help Da Nian establish a sense of direction!"
Everyone was very excited and of course they would not object. A group of people rushed out of the dormitory and surrounded Jiang Danian to the playground, apparently preparing for a big fight.
Sun Xin looked at Xu Yan in surprise. He had previously suspected that Xu Yan was just talking big and said those words just to avoid punishment. But now seeing how positive he was, he couldn't help but dismiss the idea.
But he didn't know that all this was planned by Xu Yan. He was just worried that when Sun Xin calmed down, he would remember to punish himself, so he took the initiative to drag everyone to the playground to do queue exercises with Jiang Danian, and compared the punishment of running twenty laps around the playground, he knew clearly which was more serious.
Everyone in Class 3 spontaneously came to the playground and formed a column. Class monitor Sun Xin gave orders, first arranging the queue, asking everyone to stand at attention and face to the right, and then began practicing turning left and right.
"To the left!"
Swish! Everyone turned to the left in unison.
"turn right!"
Swish! Everyone turned to the right again!
Jiang Danian made no mistakes in several turns, which made Sun Xin couldn't help but smile. He observed Jiang Danian's movements carefully and unexpectedly found that Jiang Danian's movements were very standard, even comparable to Xu Yan's.
"When did Jiang Danian's movements become so standard?" Sun Xin frowned in confusion, and soon understood. Before, Jiang Danian couldn't tell left from right, and his attention was focused on this. He was only worried and sulking, so he had no time to observe whether his movements were standard or not. Now, when he watched with a normal mind, he found that he had made great progress unknowingly. Although he still often turned in the wrong direction, judging from his movements alone, they were standard and impeccable.
With this discovery, Sun Xin was immediately encouraged, his eyes were determined, and he decided to do everything he could to help Jiang Danian establish a sense of direction.
"Turn left!" Sun Xin then shouted.
Swish!
The queue became messy because Jiang Danian made the wrong turn. He and Luo Yifei came face to face, staring at each other!
"I... I'm sorry, I... I made a mistake again!" Jiang Danian said timidly.
Sun Xin let out a long breath, the surprise and expectation on his face froze in an instant, and a surge of anger rose up, but this time he tried to restrain himself, shook his head and encouraged: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you make mistakes, let's take it slowly!"
"Come again, turn right!"
Sun Xin issued an order, and the queue became chaotic again. Jiang Danian made another wrong turn. Sun Xin took a deep breath, trying to look unconcerned, and said, "It's okay. Let's do it again. Turn left!"
Then Sun Xin was dumbfounded. Jiang Danian made a wrong turn again, and he made it three times in a row. Sun Xin's face was stiff and veins on his forehead were bulging, as if he had been slapped in the face several times in a row.
"I'm sorry, I'm so stupid." Jiang Danian said with his head hung.
"Come again!" Sun Xin shook his head. This time his tone was no longer as relaxed as before, but rather had a hint of gnashing of teeth.
Five minutes later, Sun Xin's face turned ashen, his lips trembled weakly, and he could not utter a word. He just stared at Jiang Danian with a gloomy face, and his eyes were filled with dead despair.
Some people are born to pour cold water on others, and Jiang Danian is undoubtedly one of them. Just with the simplest left or right turn, he can make thirty-eight wrong turns in just five minutes, going further and further on the wrong beat, and even eight horses cannot pull him back.
Sun Xin's mechanical order was issued, and his initial expectation quickly turned into despair, and finally he was simply numb. Now he no longer had any hope and just wanted the afternoon training to come as soon as possible so that he could end this damn training.
Time was like a snail, slowly crawling forward. When the training time finally arrived, Sun Xin felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly ended the queue training that had tortured him so much that he felt heartbroken, and started training in other subjects.
After the afternoon training, a group of people had dinner and had just returned to the dormitory to rest for a few minutes when Xu Yan jumped out and urged, "Brothers, it's time to set off. Let's help Da Nian train for a while before it gets dark."
Everyone looked at each other, wanting to refuse to go, but what was said at noon was still ringing in their ears. It seemed inappropriate if they couldn't even hold out for a day. So, they went to the playground dejectedly, like defeated roosters. There was no trace of the heroic spirit they had at noon.
The short twenty minutes at noon felt to them as long as twenty years. All their ambitions were worn out by Jiang Danian's stupidity. They didn't know if Jiang Danian could establish a sense of direction if he continued. But one thing was certain, they would be tortured to death before Jiang Danian succeeded!
Xu Yan was walking at the back. Seeing that everyone was depressed, he was just about to think of a way to boost their morale when he suddenly sneezed twice for no apparent reason.
That’s right, someone scolded him again, and there was more than one person, not only the beautiful reporter Zhang Lan, but also the beautiful military officer Zhong Ming.
Donghai Morning Post, at the office entrance.
Zhang Lan nodded to the colleague who greeted him, and left humming a song. As he walked along the road, he murmured excitedly: "Afternoon training is over, the meal should be finished, so he should start eating the cake!"
Thinking of the wonderful expression on Xu Yan's face when he ate the cake made with her foot washing water and saw the card she left, Zhang Lan couldn't help but secretly laugh, "After you offended me, you thought I couldn't deal with you by hiding in the army, but in the end you still have to drink my foot washing water!"
What she didn't know was that the cake did not fall into Xu Yan's hands, but was taken away by Zhong Ming.
Hundreds of miles away from Donghai City, in the Information Operations Section of the Longya Special Operations Brigade, Zhong Ming returned here and excitedly put the cake on the table. His assistant Xiao Tang came up to greet him and stared at the cake on the table curiously: "This is a cake. Whose birthday is it? I remember no one has a birthday today!"
"It was given to you as a midnight snack by someone else!" Zhong Ming said with a smile. The cake that he had secretly withheld had now become a gift from someone else.
"Really? Then we won't be polite." Xiao Tang asked, and when he saw that it was really prepared for him and others, he hurriedly called his comrades over, and they hurriedly opened the package and shared the cake.
Zhong Ming had just returned and had no appetite, so she did not eat with the others. Instead, she went to take a shower first. When she came back, she saw that only the last corner of the cake was left, and asked with a smile, "How does this cake taste?"
"It's delicious. We left a piece for you. Come and try it!" Xiao Tang said.
"Really? Let me try it!" Zhong Ming nodded, picked up a plastic knife, cut a small piece, put it in her mouth and tasted it. She didn't know if the cake was really delicious, or because it was given to Xu Yan, she felt that this cake was more delicious than ever before.
"It tastes good!" Zhong Ming praised and cut another small piece. When she was about to put it on the plate, she unexpectedly found a card sticking out of the cake. She took it out curiously and looked at it carefully. She saw a line of words written on the card page: Don't stare, you read it right, there is a card, I put it there on purpose because I have something to say to you!
