Chapter 114: Breakfast Storm

  Several people who had heard Wu Wei's words were about to turn around and leave when they suddenly saw Ji Xin'an and the others, chatting and laughing while eating breakfast.

  "Class monitor, look at those people from Class 2. There's still so much leftover food on their tables that they can't finish, yet they ordered so much." A girl beside Yu Hui suddenly saw the food that Ji Xin'an had left for Zou Ze and the others.

  "What's wrong with them, won't they deliberately make all the food disappear so we can't eat?" Yu Hui looked at Lu Ziyan happily eating the small dishes on the table, and her heart became unhappy.

  The relationship between people is very subtle. If you have a good impression of someone at first sight, then the two people may become lifelong friends. On the other hand, no matter how good the other person is, they just can't stand each other. Yu Hui and Lu Ziyan are such two people. Although it was just a matter of a few push-ups, others didn't think much of it, but for the two of them, it was enough reason to hate each other.

  "Can't be, we're all on the same team. You guys think they won't notice anything, so they deliberately left it for us?" The girl who just spoke shook her head, seeing that no one touched those few dishes of food, looking like they were specially left behind.

  "Gu Xiao Han, I think you're still not awake yet, just now you were still gloating at us being punished, how could you be so kind as to help us with lunch? Hurry up and go buy instant noodles instead, or else soon there won't even be time for that. Yu Hui glared at them, thinking to herself that today's extra punishment and not having enough food were all because of those few people from Class 2, but she didn't think about how it was actually her who had dragged others into being punished in the first place."

  "Monitor, why don't we go ask? Anyway, they can't eat that much, even if we have to spend money to buy it." Gu Xiao Han ignored her words and looked at Wu Wei instead, thinking that eating a good breakfast was better than instant noodles.

  "Yeah, I don't want to eat instant noodles early in the morning, it's already tiring enough. Who knows how that female Yan Wang will torture us later, if we can't even eat, I definitely won't be able to hold on." After hearing Gu Xiao Han's words, others also echoed in agreement. They were all classmates, this wasn't something shameful anyway.

  "You go ask them, anyway I'm not going." Yu Hui saw that no one was listening to her, and her face sank.

  Wu Wei looked at the new dishes placed in the middle of the table, but didn't seem to want to eat. Thinking about it for a moment, they still had training later, and were already tired; if they didn't get to eat, wouldn't that be even more unbearable? They didn't have any deep grudges against each other, maybe the other person really was leaving food for them, "Let's go ask."

  While several people were studying here to see if it was in the past, Lu Ziyuan also saw them. "Why don't they go eat? What are they doing watching us eat? Can they be full just by looking?"

  "It can't be that there's nothing left, right?" Yan Tingting glanced over at the cafeteria, where the chef had already cleaned up and most of the old students had left, except for a few slow eaters. No one else was coming in, and those who did come in were mostly new students who would leave again after a short while.

  "That's also quite unfortunate." Lu Ziyuan's words didn't contain a hint of sympathy, but instead had a somewhat gloating tone.

  "It's good that we left some food for Zou Ze and the others, otherwise they would have had to eat our leftovers." Ji Xin'an smiled as she thought about how funny Zou Ze's expression would be if he came in and saw nothing.

  At this time, several people from the class walked over. Wu Wei spoke up, "I'd like to ask, you've ordered so much food. Can you give us some of what you haven't eaten? We can pay for it too." Just now she didn't think much of it, but now that they were so close, looking at them eating made her stomach growl.

  Lu Ziyan was about to smile and mock them a few words. She was pulled back by Ji Xin'an, and she still felt that it wasn't chaotic enough.

  "Is there nothing left in the cafeteria?" Ji Xin'an stood up. Looking at their appearance, she felt quite sympathetic too. If it were her and these people who came later, they might not be able to eat anything now either.

  "It's all sold out." Wu Wei shook his head and said.

  "If we still have to ask you, it's not like we don't know. " Yu Hui didn't agree, but since they all came over, she had no choice but to follow suit. Seeing Ji Xin'an ask this question, she rolled her eyes directly.

  "It's really not good, it's not that we don't want to give you any, these are left for our classmates. If we let you have them, they'll go hungry." Ji Xin'an ignored Yu Hui's words, just treating her like a spoiled child, but also felt somewhat embarrassed. Sympathetic as he was, when it came down to choosing between letting them go hungry or Zhou Ze going hungry, he'd rather they went hungry.

  "If you don't give it, then just don't give it. What's the point of making excuses? Everyone else has eaten already, who are you saving it for?" Yu Hui also followed over and after hearing Ji Xinan's words, she felt that he was just making excuses, and even thought they were doing it on purpose, now her heart is probably rejoicing."

  "This is our own meal, we can do whatever we want, mind your own business. Are you begging for food with this attitude?" Lu Ziyuan saw her sarcastic tone and didn't care if anyone stopped her, she stood up immediately, Ji Xin'an could tolerate it but she couldn't.

  "If you don't want to, then forget it. We're all classmates in the same department, so what's the point of making things difficult for yourselves and getting punished together?" Wu Wei was rejected by Ji Xin'an and felt a bit awkward, but also somewhat believed Yu Hui's words.

  At this time, Zou Ze and the boys in his class finally returned. Lu Ziyan's sharp eyes spotted them immediately, and she ignored the people in front of her who were not pleasing to her eyes. Smiling, she called out to Zou Ze and the others, "Zou Ze, look, there's nothing left to eat in the cafeteria. This is a special meal that An An saved just for you."

  "It's great that there's so much left, I'm starving after doing all those push-ups." Zou Ze didn't notice the awkward atmosphere and picked up a bun to eat, without even lifting his head.

  "Not just your friends, right? Can't let you eat while they watch." Ji Xin'an glanced at Wu Wei, indicating that she wasn't cheating them, they couldn't just sit idle and have all the food delivered without eating.

  A few people from Class A saw that the girl from Class B was indeed reserved for someone else. Their faces looked a bit ugly, knowing they had just misunderstood her, but seeing those boys eating with gusto made them still angry, yet there was nothing else to do, so they could only turn around and leave.

  Yu Hui glared at Lu Ziyan before leaving, but Lu Ziyan didn't back down either. With a smug expression, she looked at Yu Hui as if to say "What can you do to me?" which made Yu Hui's teeth itch with anger.

  "I told you we shouldn't go, but you all insisted. You're asking for trouble." Yu Hui muttered to herself as she walked away.

  "How dare you say that, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been punished and wouldn't be starving now." Everyone at home was spoiled and had never suffered before, but now they couldn't even eat a meal, and the culprit not only didn't reflect on their actions, but instead blamed them. At first, they thought that as classmates and dorm-mates, it would be bad to fall out with each other. But seeing her being so unreasonable now, they didn't care about anything anymore.

  "What did I say? Can you blame me for that? That gentle one was intentionally picking on me. If it wasn't me, it would be someone else." Yu Hui glared at the girl again.

  "Alright, stop it. I see you're not tired and still have the energy to bicker with each other. This behavior of yours is just laughable to others. Since we are a team, we need to be united; otherwise, like this, you'll get punished every day." Wu Wei's words made both of them calm down.

  "Let's go, we still have training later." Gu Xiao Han said softly, seeing that they were all silent and stuck here.

  Several people finally lowered their heads and walked out of the cafeteria.

  On the other hand, Ji Xin'an saw that a group of girls from Class 1 had left. She thought to herself, "Now I've offended all the girls in Class 1. It seems like future training sessions will be troublesome," but she wasn't afraid.

  Now everyone left is quite familiar with each other. They also became more casual in their speech, and the other boys, seeing there was enough for them, happily joined in to eat together.

  "We also have our share. Thank you so much, you are really good people who saved us from the midst of water and fire. Originally we were punished and now we are both tired and hungry. If we can't even eat breakfast, I would be heartbroken." Li Ming was quite familiar with them, hearing that there was also theirs, he didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand and started eating.

  "It wasn't even left for you, and the host hasn't thanked him yet. What's the point of your thanks?" Yan Tingting saw that Zou Ze didn't even say thank you, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Ji Xin'an, who had kindly left food for him, but he took it as if it was his due.

  "What's there to thank for? It's not like it's a rare thing, let alone the meal An'an left for me. I've even eaten leftover meals before." Zou Ze said with a smug face, then looked at everyone else scrambling and didn't show any weakness. "Hey, you guys stop fighting, leave some for me."

  Ji Xin'an listened and rolled her eyes at him, his words were ambiguous, how could they not be misunderstood by others.

  As expected, Lu Ziyan and the others were thrilled as if they had discovered a new continent.

  "Alright, tell me honestly, what's going on?" Yan Tingting didn't care about Zhou Ze's apology anymore and pressed Ji Xin'an for an answer.

  "Come on, say it quickly." Lu Ziyuan also came over and leaned on Ji Xin'an's shoulder.

  "What's the big deal, it was just when we were in school, his family didn't have anyone cooking at home, so he always ate at the cafeteria. He thought it tasted bad and would run to my house every day at noon to freeload a meal." Ji Xin'an replied with a smile, but still gave Zou Ze a glare, thinking of settling the score when she got back.

  "How is it you who cooked?" Xinting was somewhat puzzled. Even if she went to her house, it wouldn't be Ji Xinan's turn to cook, would it?

  "My parents' work is a bit special, they don't come home for lunch, I usually take care of it myself." Ji Xin'an turned his head to look at Yan Tingting.

  "That's to say you two have been living in your own little world all these years?" Yan Tingting said in surprise.

  "It's not always him, sometimes there are other classmates or friends, but over the years, it's just that he has persisted for a long time." When Ji Xin'an said this, she suddenly thought of the happy times with Yao Wenhuang and four people that year. Her heart felt a sudden pang, they had been so happy before, but now it's all in the past. However, she soon let go, the feelings and happiness of the past are already gone, and what can be done or thought about now is just to have that happiness left in her heart.

  "I always thought that childhood sweethearts were just a myth, but I didn't expect it to happen right next to me. It seems that I'm about to witness the birth of a beautiful love story." Lu Ziyuan said with emotion.

  "Shut up, we're just classmates and friends, nothing more." Ji Xin'an interrupted them, seeing that if they continued, they might as well get engaged on the spot.

  "Now we are classmates and friends, who knows if there will be more relationships in the future, what do you guys think?" Lu Ziyuan said as she turned her head to ask everyone.

  "Right." This time even the boys joined in the teasing.

  But the two parties involved, one was helpless, and the other had a sly smile in his heart.

  At eight o'clock when the training started, there were only new students from each class on the playground doing formation exercises, either standing at attention or marching in formation. Although they didn't look very neat, they had a certain semblance of order.

  The girls from the computer department have been standing for almost an hour, and at this time it's not like early morning when there was no sun and the temperature wasn't high. Now the temperature has risen, and there is no cool breeze, the sun has scorched the ground so much that people's bodies are sweating, and the camouflage uniforms on these people have almost all shown signs of sweat.

  Ji Xin'an was physically strong, but he had never been exposed to the scorching sun for so long. Sweat flowed down his face, making his lips feel salty, yet he didn't dare wipe it away with his hands and could only let it continue flowing down.

  "An hour exactly, it seems your abilities are not bad after all. I thought at least two or three of you would have fainted by now, but none of you did. To commend you, let's get some exercise." Gentle looked down at the watch on her wrist and nodded, it seemed that being a military school student really made a difference in physical fitness compared to university students from other places, though this didn't show on their faces.

  Several people heard it and their tense bodies suddenly relaxed, and they actually started moving.

  "Have you all moved or taken a short rest?" A gentle sentence made several people instantly return to their standing position, it seems that the morning's wake-up call was still effective.

  "Everyone has it, turn right and run." Gentle also followed everyone to run forward.

  Everyone who heard her words suddenly felt a strong urge to faint, but after experiencing her tactics in the morning, no one dared to speak out and followed behind Wen Rou.

  Ji Xin'an also understood that the activity she mentioned was running. She had no choice but to adjust her breathing and follow at a steady pace. Because previously standing in attention for a short while had already consumed most of their physical strength, they ran at a gentle speed for a while before some people couldn't keep up. The number of people in front of Ji Xin'an also gradually decreased until only Wen Rou was left.

  Looking back, only Luo Jia-yi and Wu Wei from class one were following behind, but they had also fallen far behind. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
