The afternoon's activities consisted of marching drills and posture training. During breaks, there was even a mini running competition.
To put it mildly, this was quite the exhausting endeavor.
When Qiuxi and the others finally got a moment to rest, they sat on the ground and started complaining.
"I'm dead tired," Song Daiyao slumped against Qiuxi's back, her voice weak.
Qiuxi pushed the "big head" off her back. "I didn't expect it to be so different from what I imagined…"
Beside them, Liang Yunfei and Shen Yan were too tired to speak. Holding their water cups and taking sips of water felt much better; they could even rest more in the restroom.
"Where did the instructor get such a weird taste? Others get to rest and watch beautiful sisters perform talents, while our rest time is us performing as running experts..."
"...And it's all under the guise of 'stretching your muscles will make you feel better'."
As they grumbled, Song Daiyao's eyes drifted to the adjacent company. "...I don't even want to say I'm envious anymore."
"You should say less, you'll save more energy," Shen Yan couldn't help but blurt out as she watched.
The real issue was the highly suggestive nature of their words, which could demoralize the troops.
Liang Yunfei, understanding this perfectly, even turned Song Daiyao's head, believing that out of sight meant peace of mind.
A whistle shrieked.
Upon hearing the sound, the previously lethargic crowd immediately stood up and quickly returned to their positions.
Perhaps this was the result of training for most of the day.
The sun began to set, and the afternoon military training finally concluded.
"Gather at seven-thirty tonight, don't forget."
"Dismissed."
With a few slaps of hands, a group of people immediately rushed out of the track and field.
During military training, every minute of mealtime was precious.
After a day of training, everyone went out early in the evening, wandering towards the assembly area.
They had expected another tough session, but then the instructor said something that made everyone instantly happy.
"Tonight, we'll train for only half an hour. The remaining time will be used for recreational activities." The instructor's voice, which could carry across the entire field without a microphone, suddenly sounded delightful.
"Nice! Finally, some rest," Song Daiyao exclaimed, almost losing control of her voice.
Half an hour later, the instructor produced a sound system from somewhere, and the evening's entertainment began with singing.
Sitting in a circle, Qiuxi, who was captivated by a young man's singing, suddenly heard—
"How could I have fallen for him..."
Then Song Daiyao chimed in beside her, "It's just because I was blind, gave up a whole forest, and got tripped by a weed..."
"Hahaha~ What did you change it to!" Although it was funny and rhymed, it didn't stop Shen Yan from teasing.
"Seriously, Song Daiyao, you're such a clever ghost!" Qiuxi admitted she had to admire her, a more advanced version of Song's commentary—a soul singer.
Indeed, it was slightly off-key, yet it sounded remarkably fitting.
Perhaps it was because she hadn't heard the original, so she thought it sounded good. For those who had heard the original, they might be surprised to find that it was hardly the same song.
Beside them, Liang Yunfei raised her hand to her forehead, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Hehe~" Song Daiyao finally noticed the gazes cast her way and gave an awkward smile.
"Continue, continue. After you finish singing, my beautiful roommates will perform a dance for everyone." Song Daiyao, the number one deflector, spoke without any trace of awkwardness.
"..." Qiuxi and Liang Yunfei's scalps suddenly tingled.
When they reacted, they realized that only the two of them would be dancing!
Qiuxi grabbed her. "Song Daiyao, you're getting more and more mischievous."
Then Liang Yunfei pulled her other side, and together they tackled Song Daiyao, who could only beg for mercy, "Mistake, mistake, there won't be a next time."
"Hmph, you're still talking..." Qiuxi was about to continue when she heard the system's announcement.
