Chapter 23: Tiezhu Ge, you're really a rascal!

  Zhao Tiezhu didn't know about Li Ling'er's past, and he didn't have the heart to ask. He simply carried her in his arms, hailed a taxi, and returned to the villa. After arriving at the villa, Li Ling'er didn't say much to Zhao Tiezhu either. She walked into the room, grabbed some clothes, and went into the bathroom. Zhao Tiezhu took off his clothes, shook his hair, picked up a towel to dry it, and Cao Ziyu was not home again - he had no idea where she went every day. Su Yanni had already gone to work. Zhao Tiezhu walked into the kitchen, cooked several dishes, and Li Ling'er finished her bath. Zhao Tiezhu called out to Li Ling'er to come eat, and by this time, she had returned to normal. After taking a bite of Zhao Tiezhu's cola chicken wings, Li Ling'er smiled: "Brother Tiezhu's cooking skills are not bad."

  "It's all right, it's all right." Zhao Tiezhu said modestly.

  Like a whirlwind sweeping away the remaining clouds, Li Ling'er finished all the dishes on the table and went back to her room. Zhao Tiezhu washed his bowl and chopsticks clean, took a bath, and then returned to his room to go online.

  A day without words

  The next morning, the sky was clear and sunny. Cao Zi-yi made breakfast as usual for Zhao Tie-zhu, Su Yan-ni and others. After finishing their meal, Cao Zi-yi took her painting board out to paint from life again, while Su Yan-ni put on her police uniform and went to work. Zhao Tie-zhu and Li Ling-er still fought over who would take the school bus.

  Today is the day of military training, and the classroom was filled with people early on. However, Guo Jing, who was here yesterday, didn't show up today. The classroom was filled with camouflage uniforms, and Linda said: "Distribute the camouflage uniforms for military training this morning, Fan Jian, come and help."

  Fan Jianhuan happily took the lead, distributing clothes to everyone according to their height data on the registration form. After finishing the distribution of clothes, Linda said: "Now everyone go back to the dormitory to change clothes, those who live in school can change in the bathroom."

  Zhao Tiezhu and Li Ling'er each received a set of clothes and walked into the bathroom separately.

  After changing into his military uniform, Zhao Tiezhu waited for Li Ling'er in the corridor. Before long, Li Ling'er also changed into her military uniform and walked up to Zhao Tiezhu. Zhao Tiezhu's eyes couldn't help but widen as he gazed at Li Ling'er, whose beauty now exuded a heroic spirit and an air of elegance that was uniquely captivating.

  "What's wrong?" Li Ling'er asked with a red face.

  "No, I didn't expect Ling to look even more beautiful in military uniform." Zhao Tiezhu said with a smile.

  Li Ling'er ignored Zhao Tiezhu and walked into the classroom.

  Before long, all the students had changed into military uniforms. Linda led a man wearing a military uniform into the classroom. The man had three stars on his shoulder, and he was a captain.

  "Hello everyone, my name is Niu Meng. For the next week, I will be your instructor. My training philosophy is simple: unconditional obedience to my commands." Captain said with a serious expression, "Assemble at the playground in 10 minutes. No tardiness allowed, otherwise you'll bear the consequences yourself." After finishing speaking, Captain turned around and walked out of the classroom.

  Linda said: "Alright, everyone go to the playground for assembly. Today is your first day of military training. I hope you can leave a good impression on the instructor." After that, Linda also walked out of the classroom.

  Zhao Tiezhu and Li Ling'er followed the crowd to the playground, where some teams had already started training. Niu Meng stood on the playground with a cold expression, while new students from the Foreign Language Department gathered in front of him.

  "Next, let's start with the simplest standing posture training. Everyone has it, stand at attention." The voice was like thunder, and the originally noisy crowd instantly quieted down, and everyone stood up straight.

  "Maintain this posture for half an hour." Niu Meng said, then sat down cross-legged on the ground.

  Standing at attention for half an hour was nothing for Zhao Tiezhu, his posture was more standard than anyone else's, which made Niu Meng look at him a few more times. Li Ling'er was much worse off, it was clear she had never stood like this before, in less than five minutes her face was sweating profusely and her body was slightly unstable.

  "Stay still, don't move. If you need to move, submit a report and I'll approve it first," Niu Meng said in a cold tone.

  Many people's faces have slowly turned pale, the sun is extremely scorching at this time, due to the rain yesterday, the air feels very sultry.

  Twenty minutes later, there was a loud thud, and a girl fell to the ground, fainting. The medical staff by the playground immediately rushed over, carried the fainted person onto a stretcher, and sent her to a shaded area.

  Li Ling'er's face turned even paler, she stumbled, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and she steadied herself. Niu Meng glanced at Li Ling'er without saying a word.

  Another five minutes passed, Li Ling'er's face was almost devoid of color, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and suddenly she fainted.

  At the last moment, Zhao Tiezhu suddenly appeared in front of Li Ling'er and supported her.

  "Who told you to move." Niu Meng suddenly stood up from the ground, and one leg swept towards Zhao Tiezhu. Zhao Tiezhu didn't dodge, and he took that kick, but his eyes flashed with a cold light. Niu Meng was shocked by that gaze, it was a gaze full of murderous intent, this kind of gaze, Niu Meng had only seen on the elite soldiers in the army, Niu Meng's back suddenly felt chilly, and a cold sweat appeared on his face.

  Zhao Tiezhu ignored the fierce cow, and helped Li Ling'er to a shaded area. Several doctors came over and gave Li Ling'er some medicine. Seeing that Li Ling'er was not seriously injured, Zhao Tiezhu turned around and returned to his troops.

  Niu Meng looked at Zhao Tiezhu with an uncertain expression, this seemingly ordinary freshman, why did he have such eyes? This person must have stained his hands with blood, and not just a little! Niu Meng made up his mind, not to provoke Zhao Tiezhu.

  The so-called military training was a piece of cake for Zhao Tiezhu, without any challenge. The military training lasted until dusk, and more than ten people from the Foreign Language Department fell down. That fat guy Fan Jian actually held on, which made Zhao Tiezhu look at him in a new light. After a day of military training, Zhao Tiezhu came to Li Ling'er's rest place and smiled: "I didn't expect your physical fitness to be so poor." Li Ling'er hummed and didn't speak, standing up and walking away.

  As she walked out of the playground, she heard a loud roar of an Audi Q5 stopping beside her. A young man with a handsome face rolled down the window and said to Li Ling'er with a smile: "Classmate, do you want me to give you a ride?" This young man was actually the same one who drove away with Guo Jing yesterday.

  Li Ling'er took a look at the person and didn't respond. The young man wasn't annoyed either, continuing to say: "Since my classmate is unwilling, then forget it, I am Chen Zhe from the third year of International Trade Department, if you have anything, come find me." As he spoke, the young man glanced at Zhao Tiezhu beside Li Ling'er and nodded slightly, as a greeting. Then he quickly left. However, there was a hint of disdain on the young man's face.

  Zhao Tiezhu sighed: "Ling'er, your charm is really great, how many times has this happened?"

  "Hmph, that's it." Li Ling'er proudly puffed out her chest and said with pride.

  "Not just charming, everything is big." Zhao Tiezhu stared at that plump chest and said.

  "Brother Iron Pole..."

  "Huh?"

  "You're such a rascal."
