Chapter 5 Military Training in Progress (2)

The sun outside was at its peak, and even the hat couldn't block the light hitting her face. As they lined up and walked towards the sports field, Wang Muman placed her hand on her face, trying to shield herself from the sun. "Manman, your legs are so long. I didn't even have time to compliment you earlier when we were rushing." He Lele saw Wang Muman's jacket open, her inner shirt tucked into her pants, highlighting her long legs. "Xiao Le, it's just an illusion. My legs aren't that long." Wang Muman blushed slightly. "You're tall, so of course you have long legs." Wang Muman was already somewhat immune to He Lele's frequent compliments.

They soon arrived at the sports field. The sun was intense, and the only shelter available was a facility belonging to another class. "Now, the two front students from left to right, begin the roll call!" The instructor quickly started his plan. "Students numbered two and four, step back, then align to the left!" Everyone quickly formed their ranks. "Alright, align forward!" Wang Muman clearly felt the boy behind her leaning closer. "That boy, maintain a distance of 75 centimeters, don't get too close." Wang Muman felt the pressure from behind disappear and stopped paying attention.

"Earlier, when you were aligning, although you were quick, your movements were casual. When aligning, you should use small steps and look towards that direction. Come, look left to align!" A bit of noise arose from the group. "Alright, attention. Listen to me for a moment. Firstly, if there's anything, you must report to the instructor and state the reason, especially when standing at attention. If you feel unwell, you must also report. Also, if you train well, you get more rest; if you train poorly, you train more. Do you understand!" Some boys shouted loudly, as if afraid the instructor wouldn't hear them.

Following the instructor, they practiced standing at attention. Under the scorching sun, they couldn't even open their eyes. "If you can endure five minutes, you can rest. Place your hands carefully!" Normally, five minutes would pass in a flash, but under the sun, every second felt slow. Sweat dripped from her forehead to her chin. Wang Muman lowered her head slightly, blocking some of the sunlight. "Reporting, instructor, someone has fainted." It was the girl next to Shen Jiaxin. "Help her to the rest area and let the medical staff see her." There was some commotion behind them. "Others continue." The instructor frowned. Only three minutes had passed, and one had already fainted. The physical fitness of this batch of students, alas. "Halt, turn around. Sit. Those who want water, go ahead. After drinking, return to your positions and rest." Just as five minutes were up, Instructor Chen called for a break.

"Manman, we can finally rest. I'm exhausted. It all smells like sunscreen." He Lele nudged Wang Muman and sat down beside her. "I kept wanting to talk to you, but I was afraid the instructor would scold me. It was so uncomfortable." He Lele took off her glasses and wiped the sweat from her nose. "I saw you trembling when you were standing at attention." Wang Muman said with a smile. "It's because I was trying too hard!" He Lele put her glasses back on. "Fortunately, I've been doing morning runs, otherwise I would have fainted like that girl. Hey, hey, don't stick so close, it's so hot." "No, I just want to be close to you! I thought you were going to faint. Look how pale you are, with your thin arms and legs." He Lele pulled on Wang Muman's sleeve, wanting to get closer.

The boy behind Wang Muman was Yan Cheng. He was also worried that she might faint in front of him and he wouldn't know what to do. "Xiao Cheng, why don't we recognize a big brother or second brother or something, to get information from the girls?" Zhou Mingyu ran from the back to the middle and sat in front of him. Wang Muman then realized that Yan Cheng was standing behind her. "It's not hard to recognize a brother, I'm willing to be your big brother!" He Lele directly gave herself a thumbs-up.
