Chapter 105 - Just give up.
Time flew by quickly and the next few days went by in flash as You Liangxing, alongside several teachers and the student union were busy with their various tasks to finish the handover.
The media live broadcasting project that he and You Ming had been discussing was slated to start and the Imperial Capital was currently lacking in people to precede over the entire situation. After giving several detailed explanations to the teachers in his faculty, they finally made an exception for him, allowing him to conduct his own internship alone and outside of school. In two to three days, You Liangxing had to prepare himself to leave for the Imperial Capital.
With his schedule fixed, You Liangxing was honestly looking forward to the project because it was something he had been researching for quite some time. It was inevitable that he was eager to have a try, but in the midst of his expectation, there was the surprising silhouette of a silly tall man bulldozing his way into his mind.
He did not know what kind of reaction Kang Shengzhe would have when he had to tell him that he was going out for an internship…
Despite knowing that trying to predict it was useless, You Liangxing could not stop himself from thinking about it frequently. On the day he had received the internship consent form, You Liangxing’s sleeping schedule experienced a slight tilt from its usual axis, but such a small thing could not hinder the pa.s.sage of time. In a blink of an eye, the freshmen military training was coming to an end.
But the day before that, You Liangxing received a series of bombardments on WeChat, courtesy to Kang Shengzhe.
— Do you remember what day it is tomorrow.〖Smoking〗
— Liang Liang~ Liang Liang~ Liang Liang~
The military training ceremony was something that the entire school had to attend and You Liangxing had promised Kang Shengzhe that he would definitely go, so how could he possibly forget? Furthermore, Liao Su had been constantly muttering about it during daytime, of how Xiao Linzi became darker again, or that the sunscreen spray was basically a useless plaything and thank the heavens and earth that the military training was finally coming to an end…. You Liangxing could not forget the words ‘military training ceremony’ even if he emptied out his mind.
[Ah Sheng]: — Don’t forget the promise you made to me by Daming Lake.〖Loving Gaze〗
You Liangxing: ……
With a headache, You Liangxing replied: — I know.
[Ah Sheng]: — Heart gesture.
You Liangxing: k2026;k2026;
Super annoying.
In response to Kang Shengzhe, You Liangxing woke up an hour earlier than the freshmen in the military training on the day of the ceremony itself. Making good of his time, he rushed to the school from his apartment, and as he was greeting his student union, he chanced upon Liao Su. His comrade-in-arms, Liao Su had skipped his morning run and he had no work to do that morning as well, for he was heading to the same destination as You Liangxing because both of them intended to go to the sports field to spectate.
“It’s a little overcast today, but it should be fine.”
You Liangxing looked up at the skies, similarly worried. It was rare that he managed to catch the last big exercise for their military training but the sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to storm.
“If it rains, the ceremony will probably be cancelled.”
Liao Su jeered: “That better not be the case. You don’t know how hard G.o.d K has been working recently; even when the national flag team’s training ended, he was still marching on the field alone, and his waist was extremely straight, it looked super good! If the ceremony were to be cancelled, then all the practice he put in for the past few days would be for nothing.”
You Liangxing went quiet and his silence stretched out for a few seconds before he spoke again: “As a third-year school senior, what did you go for west sports field for? Have you finished the things you need to do for the student union?”
Liao Su: “… I, I… did it.”
As expected, Liao Su was affected by You Liangxing’s interruption, and he immediately changed the subject and he stopped bringing up what he had heard and saw the west sports field. Side by side, the pair strolled towards the sports and soon, they saw a whole stretch of green uniforms from afar. It was not time yet but they had already started falling in line. Perhaps because it was the last day of their h.e.l.lish military training journey, the previously disgruntled freshmen students appeared to be more spirited. Their statures were perfectly straight and their lines of sights were facing forward.
“Brother Liang, look over there, Xiao Linzi is there.”
You Liangxing looked over and sure enough, he saw Liang Chulin among the crowd. Speaking of which, Liang Chulin’s position was not easy to find but Liao Su had a sharp eye and he spotted the person in a glance.
There was still a period of time before the ceremony began and they were still allowed time to move about freely. Liang Chulin had already started lining up in one of the ordinary square arrays, whereas the national flag team at the other end of the field appeared to have some trouble.
You Liangxing glanced over and he immediately noticed the extraordinarily tall Kang Shengzhe. However, what surprised him was not the fact that he was standing right at the front, but rather, how he was being surrounded by girls.
Although he could not hear what they were talking about, he could roughly distinguish and observe the excitement and ecstasy from their postures and general att.i.tude.
Liao Su whistled, expression teasing as he smiled, “G.o.d K is really well-received.”
You Liangxing’s eyebrows jumped all of a sudden and he unconsciously frowned.
In actuality, the scene was not supposed to be startling at all. Kang Shengzhe’s face value was right there for viewing, and no matter where he was, he would always become the focus on the crowd. Just by revealing his face online alone, he already garnered many face fans, to say nothing of it when he could be seen close up because they were schoolmates in the same university……
You Liangxing was very clear about this point but he inexplicably felt his mood going through its ups and downs. When Kang Shengzhe turned to look over, You Liangxing jerked his head away without delay.
… Humph.
Seeing that You Liangxing turned his head away from the distance, Kang Shengzhe’s enthusiasm did not dissipate at all in the face of his indifference. On the contrary, his heart was more comforted by the fact that he could see Liang Liang.
As long as he could see Liang Liang, Kang Shengzhe felt that no matter how difficult life could become, he could tide through it. As his thoughts were making a turn, the girl with delicate and pretty features standing by his side called out to him again. “Schoolmate, can you please tell us what You-xuezhang likes to eat, and would he accept a present if he were to receive one?”
As soon as those words fell, the other girls next to her continued to supplement with their own words. “You and You-xuezhang look very familiar with each other! Could you help us convey to him, like say, all of us think he’s extremely handsome!”
Kang Shengzhe: “…..”
Impossible, you’re thinking too far, just give up.
With me around, all of you don’t stand a chance, thank you.
Time was running out and the girls’ siege on him vanished without a trace the moment the instructor issued the first whistle. Kang Shengzhe took a deep breath and lifted up the black military boots he had swapped into today. Seeing his serious expression, the instructor teased him with a smile, “Nervous?”
Kang Shengzhe flashed him a grin and a small white tooth sparkled. “I’m not nervous, in fact, I’m very excited.” As he said that, he beckoned the national flag team behind him, “Come come come, everyone, let’s get high~”
Instructor: “……”
In the distance, Liao Su exclaimed, “Hey! Why is G.o.d K getting thrashed!”
You Liangxing: “Ignore him.”
Liao Su was about to say a few more words when a deafening whistle sounded throughout the entire sports field. Soon after, the originally scattered teams got into formation at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
— The ceremony was about to begin.
