Chapter 1139 - Did You Plan This Beforehand? (2/2)

This vicious Xu Zhenyu is obviously out to make me embarrass myself.

I shall remember this!

At this moment, Xu Zhenyu still did not understand why he should never offend women. He insisted. “I just want you to try.”

At last, she stepped forth and messed up the neatly folded blankets before trying her best to recall how Xu Zhenyu had folded them previously. She decided to follow the creases made on the blanket and folded them.

However, she did not do a good job. The edges were not aligned and the blanket was not flattened enough.

Xu Zhenyu said sternly, “You’ve failed.”

Wen Xinya immediately turned red and glared at Xu Zhenyu menacingly when no one was noticing.

After taking a glance at her, Xu Zhenyu said, “Let’s practice household chores this afternoon. I’ll be conducting a check tomorrow morning. Those who fail will be punished and made to stand for two hours.”

Miss Mu brought them back to the hostel after the tour was almost completed.

Wen Xinya, who had intentionally lagged behind, ran into Xu Zhenyu at the stairwell.

Upon sight of Wen Xinya, Xu Zhenyu smiled and instantly looked less aloof than before. “Hahahaha, it’s been so many years but you’re still so terrible at household chores. You can’t even fold a blanket nicely.”

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye and she seemed to have become much prettier. During the briefing, he dared not gawk at her openly, for fear that he would be caught staring at her. Hence, he hurriedly looked away, but soon stole another glance at her because he couldn’t stop himself…

Wen Xinya kicked him and retorted. “Heck, you knew I was bad at household chores and you still insisted that I demonstrate. You just wanted to make me embarrass myself, didn’t you? Xu-er, how did I ever offend you?”

Wen Xinya sounded extremely begrudged as she glowered at Xu Zhenyu.

Xu Zhenyu chuckled and said, “How can that be? I just thought that there was no harm in making you give it a try. Surely you can’t be angry!”

Actually, he had done that because that was the only way he could openly keep his eyes fixed on her without having to worry about getting caught.

Although Wen Xinya was angry, she was not petty and just took it as a harmless joke. “Sure, you can appease me by telling me when you came back. How dare you keep me in the dark? You even mysteriously became our commander. Did you plan this beforehand?”

He would often give her vague replies whenever she asked him questions. Seeing how familiar he was with the camp and training ground, she reckoned that he must have been back for more than ten days.

Xu Zhenyu chuckled and said, “I was back since two weeks ago. No one else knows about my return other than my grandfather. I came to the base camp as soon as I returned, so as to get familiar with the environment. I just returned from Northwest Military Camp, so the higher-ups haven’t assigned me to any mission. Hence, I decided to take on the task of training you guys.”

However, Xu Zhenyu obviously wouldn’t tell Wen Xinya that he had begged his grandfather to change the training ground venue for Capital University’s military training program to let him take over the training.

It was a rare opportunity for him to interact with her for a month since she had to be confined to the camp!

Wen Xinya nodded and exclaimed, “Oh, I see!”
