Chapter 1160 - The Military Training Program Comes to an End (1/2)

The military training program was drawing to a close and they would be practicing a war drill for the next three days.

It was also a test of the skills that the freshmen had picked up in the past month.

They would be tested on their abilities to survive in the wild as well as their physical fitness.

At the end of the test, the commanders would grade everyone based on their performance. Hence, the test was very important to everyone and they took it rather seriously as well.

The freshmen were split into two groups for the battlefield operation which would last for three days. Wen Xinya’s team managed to achieve an indisputable victory. After all, Xu Zhenyu was not nicknamed as the Commander From h.e.l.l for nothing. It would be a disgrace to him if they had lost.

After a night’s rest, it was time for the drill, followed by the end of the military training program.

There was a small gathering in the afternoon that was meant for the freshmen to thank the commanders and soldiers for the help and training that they had given them throughout the program.

Wen Xinya’s long tresses were tied back into a simple yet cla.s.sic bun that was secured on the back of her head with a yellow rosewood hairpin. She put on some light makeup that accentuated her beautiful features, before changing into a white dress that had a faint green hue. It was beautiful as the moon and had some light yellow chrysanthemum prints. The dress accentuated her beauty and gave her a cla.s.sic vibe.

While the contest proceeded excitingly, Wen Xinya waited patiently for her segment.

Xu Zhenyu sneaked to the backstage and whistled at Wen Xinya. “Hi, chick!”

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “What are you doing here instead of watching the performance?”

Xu Zhenyu jested nonchalantly. “I’m here to admire the ravis.h.i.+ng beauty!”

He then winked at her.

Although he was dressed impeccably in a neat and pristine military uniform which made him look das.h.i.+ng, he still looked a little comical. Wen Xinya gibed. “Right, all you do is stay in camp all day and you rarely get to see beautiful girls. Now that you have the chance to, ogle all you can.”

Xu Zhenyu snorted with laughter while supporting himself against the door frame. “Chick, you’re becoming more and more narcissistic. I really take my hat’s off to you.”

However, he could not take his eyes off her at all because she was really stunningly gorgeous that night.

Wen Xinya gritted her teeth in an adorable manner, looking like a feisty kitten. “I’m nothing compared to someone over here.”

Xu Zhenyu deliberately quipped. “Oh gos.h.!.+ There’s actually a greater narcissist than you in this world.”

Wen Xinya turned pale in exasperation, shocked to see how eloquent he had become. “It’s good to have self-awareness. I’m talking about you.”

Xu Zhenyu guffawed uncontrollably.

Although they were teasing each other, Xu Zhenyu’s smile was a little lopsided.

Yeah! Lopsided.

The endless and grueling training helped him build his willpower and the dangerous missions made him develop grit. However… he had never felt as melancholic as he did right now. Love was the best thing that could shape and polish a man.

Back then, he chose to leave Capital city with the intention of becoming better before confessing his love to Wen Xinya. It was all because of his pride.

Yes, his pride!

Wen Xinya’s outstanding achievements made him understand that they were worlds apart. It was not his inferiority complex, but rather, it was his pride that made him feel the need to prove himself to be better and stronger than Wen Xinya. He strove to prove to Wen Xinya how outstanding he was and even wanted to surpa.s.s her.
