"Hey, you're Lin Feng, right? What a coincidence..."

The cheerful Su Zi immediately started a conversation with Lin Feng as soon as she sat down.

Before Lin Feng could even react, his pal Wang Zikai, sitting next to him, quickly nudged him twice, whispering, "The beauty is talking to you! You... ugh!"

He was utterly green with envy! Wang Zikai had no idea what to say. A great beauty was actually taking the initiative to talk to Lin Feng... Could Lin Feng actually know both of them? Good heavens, was he really surrounded by beauties back in high school?

Like Wang Zikai, the surrounding male students also cast envious and jealous glances at Lin Feng. They had all originally thought Lin Feng was just joking, but now it seemed he really did know Ning Aoxue.

"You are...?"

At this moment, faced with a beauty initiating conversation, Lin Feng remained quite reserved, making many of the nearby male students grit their teeth in frustration.

"GIGGLE, we're both from Jiangzhou No.1 High School. I'm Su Zi, and this is... you should know her, right?" Su Zi wasn't bothered by Lin Feng not recognizing her. She just smiled gleefully and gestured towards Ning Aoxue, who was sitting beside her.

Ning Aoxue subconsciously looked over, just as Lin Feng's gaze met hers. Their eyes locked, and for a moment, it was a bit awkward. Ning Aoxue, her face still expressionless, quickly averted her gaze. Lin Feng, however, simply gave a faint smile and said to Su Zi, "Uh, I forgot. She looks familiar, but I can't quite recall..."

Seeing Ning Aoxue's expression, Lin Feng, who had originally wanted to say hi, directly denied knowing her. This icy girl wasn't giving him any face, so he wouldn't be polite either. Does she think everyone knows her? Well, I, for one, *don't* know her! Who's afraid of whom!

"You don't even recognize our great beauty Ning?" Hearing Lin Feng's words, Su Zi bit her lower lip in surprise. She looked extremely cute as she asked, "You... you didn't you once send her... a love letter?"

Wang Zikai, who was already straining his ears beside Lin Feng, was so astonished by Su Zi's words that his mouth fell agape. He then stared at Lin Feng, his expression a mixture of suspicion, curiosity, and utter disbelief.

That Lin Feng! He claimed not to know Ning Aoxue, yet it turned out this guy had actually sent her a love letter before! Didn't he already have a campus beauty-level girlfriend? Damn, was he trying to have his cake and eat it too? That's too greedy! If either of these girls could be my girlfriend, I'd have no regrets in this life!

When Su Zi said this, Ning Aoxue, who was next to her, quickly pinched her arm, looking quite angry. Su Zi, however, paid it no mind. She glanced at Ning Aoxue with an innocent expression, as if to say, I was just telling the truth, you know.

At this point, both Su Zi and Wang Zikai fixed their gazes on Lin Feng, waiting to see what he would say.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng nonchalantly said, "It seems like something like that happened. I remember now. But I think I was just helping someone deliver something. I explained it to that classmate already..."

Ning Aoxue, sitting beside him, appeared to be listening to the counselor's speech, but she was actually paying close attention to Lin Feng and Su Zi's conversation. Hearing this, she sneered internally. Hmph! Pretending to be a gentleman here. Sure, sending the love letter might have been a misunderstanding, but him peeking at me changing clothes in the men's restroom—was *that* a misunderstanding too?

Thinking of this, Ning Aoxue blushed again. The scene of her changing clothes had actually been seen by a boy! How utterly shameful!

"Alright, you win. You're actually going to ignore our great beauty Ning." Seeing Lin Feng resolutely determined to draw a line between himself and Ning Aoxue, Su Zi didn't know what else to say. She pursed her lips and said, "Hey, hey, hey, let's exchange phone numbers. GIGGLE, we were in the same high school, and now in the same department; we should look after each other in the future."

Lin Feng asked, "What are your majors?"

"We? GIGGLE..." Su Zi found a flaw in Lin Feng's question, her eyes crinkling with amusement. "Are you asking me or Ning Aoxue? You used 'you guys,' which means you're also asking about Ning Aoxue, right? GIGGLE... And you say you're not concerned about our great beauty Ning..."

Black lines appeared on Lin Feng's forehead. "Um... You win. I can't argue with you."

Su Zi smiled, "Ning Aoxue and I are both in Finance. What about you? What's your major?"

Lin Feng replied, "Business Administration."

"Oh, oh, please look after us... Hey, I asked you to exchange phone numbers!"

Su Zi jotted down Lin Feng's phone number and then started whispering something to Ning Aoxue.

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Miss Su Zi, didn't you say we'd exchange phone numbers? I gave you mine; what's yours?"

"HEHE..." Su Zi revealed an innocent smile, which put Lin Feng on guard. Sure enough, Su Zi said, "Sorry, due to 'someone's' advice, I can't give you my number right now. I'll contact you later..."

Su Zi heavily emphasized the word "someone." Lin Feng knew she was referring to Ning Aoxue sitting next to her. Glancing sideways, he saw Ning Aoxue looking completely indifferent. He pursed his lips and said, "Alright."

Like hell I'd ever contact *her* proactively! he fumed internally. Does she think everyone owes her something?

On the podium, the counselor, Xu Jing, was reading out student names one by one, assigning everyone to military training platoons. Lin Feng and Wang Zikai were both assigned to the Fourth Platoon, while Su Zi and Ning Aoxue were in the Fifth Platoon.

After the counselor's orientation meeting ended, everyone collected two sets of military training uniforms at the classroom door. Early the next morning, all the students in the school began their grueling military training.

The military assigned a training platoon leader to each student platoon. To facilitate management, the counselor also appointed a deputy platoon leader from among the students in each platoon. This deputy was responsible for helping the training platoon leader gather and dismiss students, as well as liaising with the counselor.

The deputy leader of the Fourth Platoon was a tall, stout young man named Li Zhi. On the first day of military training, he gathered everyone very early and led them to the training ground—the sports ground.

Then, after the freshmen from several departments had assembled at the school's Number Four Sports Ground, a bus pulled up and parked beside it. Shortly after, more than twenty men and women in military uniforms alighted from the bus. These were the new students' training instructors.

A commanding voice boomed, "Company One, all present! Platoons, find your designated positions and fall in!"

After the instructors had disembarked from the bus and formed up, this order rang out. More than twenty instructors then jogged to the front of the new student platoons. They located the platoons they were assigned to train according to regulations and stood ready.

The owner of that deep voice then jogged to the front of everyone and stood in a standard military posture. His bearing suggested he was the company commander of these training instructors.

However, upon seeing that person, Lin Feng immediately froze.

Damn it! This company commander was actually his apprentice, Lu Pengju!
