ATPN Chapter 22
by VolareRealizing what he meant, Chu Hao was startled. He subconsciously glanced at Yu Zhanrong’s slender, fair arms. The belt left out could even be tied around his back.
Damn, so skinny?!
Chu Hao’s expression was complicated, and he had no doubts about him: “Then run slower, just take your time. You’re already an eye-catcher, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a little late.”
“Thank you.”
Chu Hao felt embarrassed by his solemn thanks. He stared at Yu Zhanrong’s thin back and sighed. Sure enough, God is fair.
Being so good-looking but having a weak body, isn’t this the typical frail beauty of ancient times? I should take care of him more in the future, after all, we’re classmates in the same class.
The instructors of other classes were also very interested, ordering everyone to stand at attention to admire the collective appearance of Class 11 of Broadcasting and Hosting.
The students in Class 11 were incredibly stubborn, and not a single one couldn’t hold on and chose to sprint. The entire class slowly maintained their formation and ran forward, their steps surprisingly consistent.
What they didn’t know was that in less than one lap, Chu Hao single-handedly promoted Yu Zhanrong’s title as a sickly beauty.
Class 11 of Broadcasting and Hosting collectively protected the newly promoted “Poppy,” and the class spirit of unity began to solidify from the military training.
Yu Zhanrong, running at the front, didn’t know that with this one penalty run, he gained an extra nickname.
Even though he ran very slowly, three laps were exhausting. Yu Zhanrong hadn’t exercised for too long. As soon as he ran back to his class’s area and the instructor said, “Rest in place,” he collapsed directly onto the ground.
Yang You didn’t even have time to pull him and was dragged down to sit on the ground with him: “How are you? Are you okay?”
Yu Zhanrong waved his hand, pressing his chest and gasping for breath, unable to speak at all.
“Your physical fitness is too poor. You’re running so slowly, yet you’re panting like this?” Yang You scanned around. Except for a few girls, no one was breathing as heavily as him.
To be precise, those few girls weren’t as exaggerated as him, and they could still straighten their backs and look at them with concern.
Classmate Chu Hao enthusiastically handed him a bottle of water and thoughtfully unscrewed the cap for him.
“…” He was just bad at sports, not disabled.
But since the other person was being kind, Yu Zhanrong accepted the good intentions from the sports representative and thanked him.
The sports representative touched the back of his head guiltily and said, “No need, the assistant instructor gave it.”
Yu Zhanrong’s hand gripping the bottle tightened, and water suddenly gushed out of the bottle. He quickly stretched out his legs to avoid wetting his pants.
“Drink slowly, don’t rush,” Yang You reminded him, thinking he was extremely thirsty.
“Oh.”
Taking advantage of the moment of tilting his head back to drink water, he looked towards the sidelines. Song Baiyan was talking to their class’s instructor. Tall and often exercising, with broad shoulders and long legs, he stood there so tall and straight that his presence overshadowed the instructor.
It wasn’t until his leg was patted that Yu Zhanrong came back to his senses.
“What are you staring at? Do you want this?” Yang You shook the sunscreen in his hand.
Yu Zhanrong originally disliked this stuff that felt a little oily and slippery when applied, but after two hours of exposure to the scorching sun, he understood its benefits.
As soon as Yang You reached out, he very consciously took it, pulled up his pants legs, and applied it to his ankles as well. The skin he hadn’t applied it to in the morning was already a little red.
Yang You clicked his tongue in disapproval. Yu Zhanrong’s skin was already fair, and he always wore long pants when he went out. There wasn’t much leg hair on his legs, so even a little redness was particularly noticeable.
“That’s why I said there can’t be any omissions, you have to apply it everywhere, or you’ll be in pain if you get sunburned.”
Yu Zhanrong nodded honestly.
No wonder Song Baiyan had prepared so many bottles and jars for him the day he came to school, and specifically told him to apply them well. It turned out it was all based on experience.
It was hard to wait until the dismissal. Everyone howled and rushed to the cafeteria, where there was food, drinks, and it was cool, simply heaven on earth.
Other grades hadn’t started school yet, and the entire school was full of this year’s freshmen. Looking around, it was a vibrant scene of green.
Because of the hot weather, the fastest-selling item in the cafeteria was iced mung bean soup. Tang Wei squeezed out of the crowd with four servings of mung bean soup but couldn’t find his roommates anymore.
Tang Wei’s eyes turned green from searching: “Damn, so many people look almost the same, where am I supposed to find them?”
Just as he was about to give up, a head of golden hair came into his view.
Only one of the four cafeterias at Hua University was open, and there were many people in line. Yu Zhanrong put his hands on his hips, took off his hat, and wiped his sweat. Suddenly, his face was cooled. He hissed softly and looked back. Four cups of cold drinks were right in front of his face.
Yu Zhanrong: “…”
He took it, inserted a straw, and took a big sip. The cold, dense texture dispelled most of the heat brought by the military training.
“You managed to grab these with so many people, amazing!” Yu Zhanrong drank happily and didn’t forget to give the great hero some praise.
Tang Wei looked around: “Where are those two?”
“Over there…” Yu Zhanrong pointed a finger and then was dumbfounded, unable to recognize who was who. He pointed in a general direction and said, “They wanted some other dishes, so they went to another window.”
“How did you recognize me in this crowd?”
Tang Wei glanced at the hat in his hand, his gaze stopping on his hair. Only then did Yu Zhanrong realize.
During military training at Hua University, there were more than three hours to rest at noon, and training would continue in the afternoon. The real highlight of military training was in the evening.
To bring the students closer together, they would form circles on the playground in the evening to play games and sing songs, which was very fun.
Some bold girls took the opportunity to ask the handsome assistant instructor what kind of person he liked.
After hearing this, Yu Zhanrong pursed his lips and said softly, “He likes obedient ones.”
“What did you say?” Yang You didn’t hear clearly and subconsciously asked. Yu Zhanrong just shook his head and followed the others to look at Song Baiyan.
Sure enough, Song Baiyan only thought for a few seconds and said, “Obedient ones, I guess, but it’s not certain. You still have to meet them to know.”
The crowd cheered. It turned out that their real purpose was to ask if Song Baiyan had a girlfriend. With these words, there was no need to ask. Everyone present had a chance. This year’s freshmen were full of tricks.
The next day, Song Baiyan wasn’t seen during training, and Yu Zhanrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn’t have to worry about embarrassing himself in front of his senior brother.
The girls sighed, saying that the new assistant instructor was also quite handsome, but he couldn’t compare to Song Baiyan. Yu Zhanrong perked up his ears and listened to them chat for a while before learning that Song Baiyan had only come yesterday as a substitute.
After a week of continuous military training, Yu Zhanrong felt that he had been completely abused. He lay on the bed, motionless, and wanted to just fall asleep like this.
But he had only asked for a week off in total. There were no weekends during military training, which meant that he had trained all day and still had to stream tonight.
Fortunately, he got along well with his roommates, and they all agreed to let him stream in the dormitory.
He opened the streaming platform and looked at the fans dropping like crazy, feeling a pang of heartache.
Although he knew that he might lose some fans if he didn’t stream for a week, he still couldn’t help but feel the pain when he saw the real drop in followers.
He had lost quite a few, but it didn’t matter, they would all come back in the future. He cheered himself up and started the stream.
“Hello everyone, good evening, welcome to Salty Fish Don’t Turn Over’s streaming room, I’m Little Yu.”
Looking at the screen full of [I missed you] comments, Yu Zhanrong finally smiled.
“I missed you too, um, it’s been a week, I missed you all very much.”
[Yu Bao, is military training tiring?]
When Yu Zhanrong saw this comment, he immediately wanted to stand at attention, the feeling of being dominated by the instructor was terrifying.
“Wow, this military training is inhumane. Being exposed to the sun every day, it’s a miracle that I’m still alive.”
“Did I get tanned? Of course, I did. I applied three pounds of sunscreen, but it couldn’t completely protect me. My roommates remind me to apply it every day, but I still got tanned.”
[Yu Bao’s roommates are so nice. You must apply sunscreen during military training, otherwise it’s easy to get sunburned.]
[It’s too hard, drink more water.]
Speaking of roommates, Yu Zhanrong really felt that he was especially lucky, and the roommates he met were all very good.
“They are indeed all super nice and take good care of me.”
Starry Eyes Don’t Blink was a good moderator. Seeing that he had started chatting and forgotten, he quickly sent him a private message to remind him to tell the fans in the stream about the upcoming arrangements.
“Oh, right, let me tell everyone that because I’m still living in the dormitory during military training, streaming will disturb the others’ rest, so I’ll only stream for an hour and a half tonight. I hope everyone understands.”
“Tonight, I’ll just chat with everyone and read the message board. I’ll make up for the songs I owe you after the military training ends. Because I still have military training for the next week, I still can’t stream, so I’ll have to wait until next week.”
“Thank you all for your understanding and consideration. Let’s take a look at today’s message board first.”
[Salty Fish Baby, your voice is so milky, I want to rub it just by listening to it, my hands are itchy.]
Yu Zhanrong was silent for a moment.
“This friend, my voice isn’t really a milky voice, is it? A shounen voice is okay, but what the heck is a milky voice?”
He took a deep breath and continued: “If your hands are itchy, rub your own head. Don’t even think about my head.”
[Hahahaha, Yu Bao is a little triggered.]
[I just like the way he grits his teeth but can’t do anything to me.]
Yu Zhanrong laughed in anger.
