Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 378 - 151: Boss, a Female Freshman Specifically Requested You to Receive Her!
Back at the dormitory, Su Zelin rounded up a few guys from neighboring dorms and proposed his idea of exchanging watermelons between the boys and girls, and everyone raised their hands in agreement.
Who wouldn’t want the instructor to be a bit more lenient? Plus, the thought of receiving a watermelon from a girl was exciting for everyone, so they all quickly agreed.
Luo Xi soon called with the news that the girls’ dorm also unanimously agreed, so the plan was set in motion and they immediately began discussing the details.
That very night, they reserved watermelons at a convenience store near the stadium, arranged for the owner to pre-cut them, and planned to have some of the stronger guys pick them up during breaks.
As the class’s life committee member, the hardworking Feng Zhongliang immediately volunteered, and the sports committee member Hou Chunhua quickly followed suit. Even the usual slackers took the opportunity to personally step up, since they were among the strongest in the class, if not the strongest.
The second day of military training, during the second break of the morning session.
The training ground for the boys.
Just as they were dismissed, a group of girls briskly entered, each carrying a red plastic bag.
"Huh, why are there girls coming to the boys’ field?"
"That girl leading the way is so beautiful, why doesn’t our class have anyone of that caliber!"
"That tall girl is great! She looks amazing even in a military uniform; imagine how hot she’d look in other clothes!"
"..."
The appearance of these girls piqued the curiosity of the boys on the training field.
Needless to say, they were the girls from Class 1 of Finance and Accounting.
They soon arrived at the scene.
"Boys from Class 1 of Finance and Accounting, you’ve worked hard! We’ve brought some watermelon to comfort everyone!"
The girls assigned this task found it very amusing, giggling all the while.
"Attention, gather up!"
At the command of the sports committee member Hou Chunhua.
All the resting boys immediately rushed back into position, forming neat lines.
Each girl held out a watermelon, standing face-to-face with a boy.
"Boys, keep it up! Our boys from Class 1 of Finance and Accounting are the best!"
Luo Xi shouted the slogan.
"Go, guys, go!"
The girls echoed loudly, then handed the watermelons to the boys.
The sense of ceremony was overwhelming.
The boys were thrilled.
There was this feeling of being recharged on the spot, as if their weary bodies had suddenly regained vitality.
"Salute the girls!"
Hou Chunhua shouted the command again.
All the boys simultaneously raised their right hands in salute, and only then accepted the watermelons.
"Dismissed, enjoy your watermelon!"
The boys took the watermelons back to their spots to eat.
The whole watermelon-giving process was filled with details, like the boys assembling, lining up, and saluting, showcasing discipline and camaraderie with the girls.
All of this was meant for the instructor to see.
Boys from several nearby classes looked on with envy and resentment.
"Damn, which class are these girls from? They’re just amazing!"
"They’re not just girls, they’re practically angels!"
"Why doesn’t our class have girls bringing us watermelon? I really want some, especially one given by a girl, boohoo..."
"Oh, our class’s tigresses, don’t hold your breaths!"
"..."
Luo Xi and Ding Linna each held a piece of watermelon and approached the male instructor.
"Instructor, you’ve worked hard, please have some watermelon!"
With a smile as bright as a flower, Ding Linna offered the watermelon to him.
"Thank you, but I don’t need it!"
The male instructor politely declined, still maintaining a bit of aloofness.
"Instructor, come on, that’s not right. You’ve been diligently training our boys, instilling discipline and a spirit of hard work—not just as an instructor, but as a devoted teacher. As the saying goes, ’once a teacher, always a teacher.’ These two pieces of watermelon are our little gesture of appreciation. Please, you must accept them!"
Without leaving him a choice, the two girls pressed the watermelons into the instructor’s hands and ran off laughing.
The male instructor looked at the two pieces of bright red watermelon, and his tense face finally relaxed, revealing a faint, almost invisible smile at the corners of his mouth.
This class undoubtedly has a sense of unity.
Since the watermelon was offered, it would be a waste to throw it away, especially since it was a token of goodwill.
The instructor hesitated for a moment but then started eating the watermelon.
From a distance, Su Zelin observed the whole scene.
Hehe, since the instructor is willing to eat the watermelon, there’s hope.
Indeed, for the rest of the morning, the previously stern instructor seemed a bit more humane. It was clear from the milder treatment of those being punished; where yesterday they’d run two laps, today it was just one, and the daily training was slightly eased.
In the morning, the girls gave watermelons to the boys, and in the afternoon, it was the other way around.
Of course, whether giving or receiving, everyone was happy: it was a chance to help and encourage classmates, and you got to enjoy a piece of watermelon yourself, which was quite satisfying.
...
Perhaps the instructor wasn’t as strict, or maybe the warm spirit of mutual assistance provided a kind of mental strength, but Hou Yongjin miraculously survived the hellish first few days of military training, and no one in the class, male or female, dropped out for any reason.
The watermelon exchange between the boys and girls of Class 1 of Finance and Accounting quickly became the talk of the town during military training, sparking a trend that many classes followed, making watermelons a hot commodity at the convenience store. The refrigerators couldn’t keep up, and later, only the pre-orders for the rest of the military training for Class 1 of Finance and Accounting and those quick to follow could enjoy the special treat.
