1430 They’re Actually Together
The military training ended very quickly.
With the ruckus that Lu Beichen made, the instructor had swapped in another team to come in. Everything was well after. On the last day of the training, everyone had to carry their equipment to head up the mountain. They had to bypa.s.s the mountain behind and spend a night of outdoor camping by the lake before returning to school the next day.
Their military uniform was of high quality and upscale just because it was a famous school.
All the preparations for the military training made were very comprehensive.
The school had made it especially stringent to prevent any incidents as parents were all very worried and there were many wealthy families’ young masters among the students.
Gu Jingyan, Lu Beichen, and Fu Chenxi were in a group. Lu Beichen was carrying the heaviest bag. Gu Jingyan carried hers while Fu Chenxi’s bag was the smallest.
Fu Chenxi said abashedly, “Let me carry some. I feel bad.”
Gu Jingyan said, “It’s alright. Your small frame is already carrying things. You better look where you’re going.”
Fu Chenxi said, “You’re so skinny and you’re carrying so much.”
Gu Jingyan said, “When I was training at home in my early years, I had also walked with heavy weights. At that time, I carried about 20 odd kilograms, much heavier than this.”
“Ah… you guys are young masters and mistresses. How can you suffer?” Fu Chenxi said.
Gu Jingyan replied, “It doesn’t mean that we don’t need to do anything. Sometimes, the caretaker is stricter. I’m still alright because I’m a girl. n.o.body hopes that I’ll take on the role of being the head of the house. My two older brothers entered the company since they were young. They attended school while working, extremely exhaustive. They learned various skills too with no time to idle.”
Fu Chenxi sighed. “I didn’t expect wealthy people to be so busy.”
Lu Beichen said, “You say as though it’s super special.”
Fu Chenxi smiled as she looked at Lu Beichen. “How would I know? My family is so ordinary. You’ve seen it for yourself the other time, so small and tattered.”
Lu Beichen replied, “So what does your family do?”
“My… My dad sells vegetables. He buys from the wholesaler in the morning.”
Fu Chenxi felt embarra.s.sed as she mentioned this. She felt she was really poor, really stupid, and did not know anything. Her family was so ordinary as well.
Lu Beichen said, “Speaking of which, I’ve never been to a vegetable market.”
Fu Chenxi smiled. “Why would you young masters and mistresses go to that sort of place? It’s very dirty there, with rubbish everywhere.”
“I’m sure it’s not that bad. Take me to have a look next time.”
Fu Chenxi looked at Lu Beichen and he looked back at her. They both laughed heartily.
The group started their journey. As they walked, Fu Chenxi could not take it after a while.
“So tired. Aren’t you guys tired?” Fu Chenxi looked at the two of them in surprise.
Gu Jingyan said, “This is called lack of training. Come, practise breathing and you won’t be that tired anymore.”
Actually, Fu Chenxi had trouble keeping up as Gu Jingyan and Lu Beichen walked in front. The two of them had very good stamina and physical strength, much better than most of their cla.s.smates.
Quite a number of people behind started to say they were tired but the two of them were still fine.
Fu Chenxi tried very hard to keep up with the two of them. Looking at Gu Jingyan, she felt that she was very perfect. Gu Jingyan excelled in everything while she was too ordinary.
She did not want to pull them back so she continued walking. Who knew that she would end up spraining her leg from not paying attention. “Ouch, it hurts…”
Fu Chenxi squatted on the ground.
Gu Jingyan hurried over to take a look. “Are you alright?”
“I don’t know what happened. It hurts a lot.”
She pulled Fu Chenxi’s leg over to have a look and saw that it was very swollen.
“It’s so swollen. I think it’s a sprain.”
“Ah, what should we do…”
Gu Jingyan smiled at Lu Beichen. “You’ll carry her.”
Lu Beichen replied, “What?”
“Why, you can’t carry her? I thought you said you’re good at heavy weight walking. Don’t tell me you want me to do the carrying.”
Gu Jingyan had deliberately provoked Lu Beichen in this way. Lu Beichen let out a laugh. “Who says so? Alright, alright. I’ll do it. It’s no difference.”
Fu Chenxi blushed. “Can you… But I…”
“Enough. Just get on. Are you worried his body can’t take it? See, Lu Beichen. Fu Chenxi is like me. She thinks you can’t carry and move.”
“Hey, I’ll show you guys.”
Lu Beichen patted his shoulders and let Fu Chenxi on.
Fu Chenxi climbed on as she blushed, not daring to look at anyone.
It was the first time she had contact with a male’s body. Fu Chenxi was shy and excited, especially when she thought that this person was none other than Lu Beichen.
Gu Jingyan laughed merrily as she watched. Lu Beichen was able to take it. Seeing how pleased Gu Jingyan was, he only felt he could hate her with gritted teeth.
He carried her until the destination. Everyone started making their tents.
Lu Beichen went over to help Fu Chenxi upon seeing that she did not know how to.
“Oh you, why are you so silly?”
Fu Chenxi said softly, “I’m that silly. I’m not as smart as Jingyan or good in studies like she is. I’m not as knowledgeable as she is.”
Lu Beichen said, “What about that? That leaves people speechless. Being well versed in everything, seriously…” Lu Beichen shook his head and pouted.
Fu Chenxi said, “Not at all. I really envy her.”
Lu Beichen looked at Fu Chenxi while she looked back at him. She blushed immediately.
Gu Jingyan did not know that just after a night, on the next day, Fu Chenxi had become Lu Beichen’s girlfriend.
It was only because Lu Beichen had looked at Fu Chenxi and asked right away, “Why don’t you be my girlfriend?”
Fu Chenxi was stunned for a while. “What did you say?”
Lu Beichen said, “I’m only going to say it once. I know you’ve already heard it. Yes or no, just say it.”
“…”
Fu Chenxi’s face turned red like blood. She lowered her head to give consent.
“Great, so I’ll take it as you’ve agreed.”
Just like that, Fu Chenxi had become Lu Beichen’s girlfriend.
The next day.
Everyone returned to school.
Everyone took a few days to rest after the training ended.
When they returned.
Gu Jingyan had entered the school early in the morning and she saw Lu Beichen and Fu Chenxi getting out of the car together.
And it was that coquettish Ferrari.
Gu Jingyan hurried over as she called out, “Hey, how did you guys come together?”
Fu Chenxi turned around. When she saw it was Gu Jingyan, her face turned red and she lowered her head as though she dared not look at her.
Gu Jingyan said, “Ah, what a coincidence that you guys arrived together.”
Lu Beichen smiled and in a move, he hugged Fu Chenxi’s shoulder.
Gu Jingyan was shocked.
She did not have any reaction for some time.
Fu Chenxi… and Lu Beichen.
They were together?
Gu Jingyan finally came to her senses after some time. She looked at Fu Chenxi and asked, “Oh my, when was this? Why didn’t you guys tell me?”
