Chapter 103: Military Training? Tree Shade Cream Puffs and Iced Juice!

***

As time passed day by day, the new students had basically all registered, and military training officially began.

Xia Ruoming had no interest in participating in military training again. These past few days had already nearly driven her to mental exhaustion. Although experiencing life from a different perspective again might be interesting, that was for other reincarnator. Xia Ruoming, just wanted to properly enjoy the present rather than torture herself.

Returning to the university campus again, Xia Ruoming showed a nostalgic expression. In her previous life, she hadn’t properly experienced youth, and by the time she had the chance to experience it, she had already lost interest.

The only thing of interest was that Zhejiang University truly had many beauties, with many pretty girls who were no less stunning than Ye Han, that second young lady of the Ye family.

Of course, she just glanced at them, her gaze not lingering on those people for more than 2 seconds. She didn’t have any extra thoughts, and it’s impossible for any lesbian to walk down the street without looking at other women at all.

After military training began, all new students were learning their first lesson, standing at attention, standing under the blazing sun until sunset.

Xia Ruoming, who should have been sweating profusely under the scorching sun with other new students, was lying under a tree shade with Chu Suhe, wearing sunglasses and drinking two bottles of mulberry blueberry juice made by Xiao Qinghan. The ice cubes hadn’t completely melted yet, in this weather, one sip was truly divine.

Before military training started, Chu Suhe was still worrying about what to do with her obviously oversized military uniform, but then she unexpectedly received a call from Yan Ming, telling her she didn’t need to participate in military training.

When Chu Suhe asked Yan Ming why, she learned that one of Xia Ruoming’s important conditions for coming to Zhejiang University was that she herself would be exempt from military training, and if in the future someone named Chu Suhe enrolled at Zhejiang University, she would also be exempt from military training. Otherwise, no matter how good the conditions were, everything would be off the table.

“Ruo-Ruoming, why did you include me in your military training exemption? If you couldn’t come to Zhejiang University because of this, wouldn’t that be too much of a waste?” Chu Suhe, leaning against Xia Ruoming, asked timidly. Even though it was very hot being so close together, Chu Suhe showed no intention of moving away.

“Susu, if you faint again during military training, I might go bankrupt,” Xia Ruoming took a sip of the iced drink through the straw before saying jokingly, “Besides, coming to Zhejiang University wasn’t my most important concern. You being able to study well at Zhejiang University was what I considered most important at that time.”

As she spoke, Xia Ruoming handed another bag of cream puffs to Chu Suhe.

“Here, these are cream puffs from a newly opened bakery near Snack Street. I tried a few, they taste quite good, Susu, you should try some too.”

Although she said to let Chu Suhe try some, Xia Ruoming directly handed the entire bag to Chu Suhe.

Not having seen Chu Suhe for some time, Xia Ruoming felt she had become even thinner, probably not eating properly again during the time she wasn’t around.

Tsk, isn’t she roommates with Xu Fengwu? Fengwu should keep a better eye on her, what if she faints in the dorm one day?

Cream might not be considered healthy food for her, but it was just right for Chu Suhe’s current condition.

Firstly, cream has simple nutritional content that can provide energy to the body quickly. Secondly, consuming cream leads to increased blood sugar, which helps alleviate Chu Suhe’s hypoglycemia syndrome. Thirdly, although cream is high in calories and excessive intake that can’t be metabolized by the body turns into fat, does Chu Suhe, thin as a bamboo pole, look like someone who’s afraid of gaining weight? If she doesn’t put on some weight, Xia Ruoming would worry herself to death.

Looking at Chu Suhe drinking iced juice and taking small bites of cream puffs under the tree shade, many female students’ eyes turned red. Xia Ruoming, you’re the top scorer so you have your reasons, not participating in military training is understandable, but why does this girl also get to be exempt from military training and even lean against Xia Ruoming while enjoying life?

Not participating in such good military training, wasting the prime of youth, parasites corrupted by hedonism, ah.

Finally enduring until the sun was about to set, when it was time to dismiss, Xia Ruoming finally… woke up under the tree shade. Perhaps due to the hot weather making her drowsy, Xia Ruoming had fallen asleep at some point, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Chu Suhe beside her, afraid she was too hot, continuously fanning her with a small fan.

“Ruoming, you’re awake?” Chu Suhe blinked twice and asked softly.

“Mm…” Opening her eyes groggily, Xia Ruoming saw the fan and immediately understood what had happened, instantly switching to a dissatisfied expression, “Susu, don’t do this next time, you should rest more too.”

“Oh…” Chu Suhe responded in a low voice. She didn’t want Xia Ruoming to be unhappy, so if Xia Ruoming said not to do it, she wouldn’t do it anymore.

After all, this kind of thing doesn’t cost money, not listening about eating is what costs money…

Just then, Chu Suhe’s stomach made a growling sound.

“Then, then Ruoming, I’m going to the cafeteria to eat, you should eat early too.” Perhaps embarrassed by the sounds her little stomach made, Chu Suhe’s voice was even softer than usual.

She thought Xia Ruoming usually ate outside every day, so she probably wouldn’t eat at the cafeteria today either, so she didn’t invite Xia Ruoming to join her. Plus, if Xia Ruoming didn’t go together, she could save another meal.

Looking at Chu Suhe’s retreating figure, Xia Ruoming felt somewhat relieved. After all, in her previous life at Sichuan University, Chu Suhe’s malnourished and hypoglycemic body couldn’t handle this intensity of military training at all. Back then, during the military training period, she always had a pale face, walking unsteadily as if she might be blown away by the wind at any moment. If it wasn’t for Xia Ruoming often treating her to meals in the previous life, she might have repeated the high school scenario at Sichuan University.

In this life, Chu Suhe had been “force-fed” by Xia Ruoming for 2 months, and her health had obviously improved a lot. Although the physical problems accumulated over many years hadn’t completely recovered, her complexion was much better than in the previous life, no longer always pale and bloodless, and she wouldn’t feel dizzy after some exercise.

But looking at Chu Suhe who had become thinner again since they parted, Xia Ruoming’s face immediately darkened. This girl, promising to eat properly in front of her, but behind her back, she’s eating pickled vegetables with white rice every day. It’s her own body, yet she makes others worry about her all the time.

Originally wanting to scold Chu Suhe a little, but the words reached her mouth and were swallowed back. Because this matter was also her fault, she had always forgotten a very important issue: no money. Even if Chu Suhe wanted to live better, she couldn’t. Earlier, Xia Ruoming had seen Chu Suhe looking everywhere for part-time jobs, and she had thought about letting Chu Suhe help at her place, but recently there were too many things going on, and when she fell asleep, Xia Ruoming had forgotten about this matter.

“Looks like rebuilding Starry Sky needs to be put on the agenda,” Xia Ruoming thought to herself. Chu Suhe definitely wouldn’t be happy just eating for free, and she couldn’t help much at Qinghan Culture. After a while, if she feels she has nothing to do, she probably won’t be happy taking money for nothing either, so why not rebuild Luo Qingxuan’s coffee shop and let her be the manager.

“Wait, Susu.” Xia Ruoming suddenly called out to Chu Suhe, “I’ll go to the cafeteria with you.”

“No-no need, Ruoming, don’t you usually not eat at the cafeteria? I-I can go by myself.” Chu Suhe responded quietly. It wasn’t because she would be shy going with Xia Ruoming, but because going to the cafeteria with Xia Ruoming would cost money, whether it was her spending money or Ruoming spending money, she couldn’t bear it.

Eating pickled vegetables can fill the stomach too, why spend so much money?
