Chapter 20 (2/2)
In his fantasies, once he and Shen Youchu had become lovers, they would embrace and she would shyly say with a chuckle, “You’re ruining my hair.” Ah, what a beautiful moment.
He quickly came back to reality and said to the young instructor with a straight face, “You said that long hair is not allowed, but according to which law? Which law says that university students must have a crew cut during military training?
“If it had been stated in black and white, then I, Chen Hansheng, guarantee that I will be the first to implement it!”
Chen Hansheng took off his hat, revealing his neatly combed hair.
The young instructor choked for a moment. It was true, there was no explicit rule regarding hair length. He had only said those words earlier to establish his authority with his students.
Seeing that the young instructor did not respond, Chen Hansheng softened his attitude and said, “Instructor, how about this? We keep our hair hidden in our hats during military training to ensure that our beauty and unity can still be maintained. What do you think?”
The young instructor started to relax. Chen Hansheng struck while the iron was hot and stepped in front of Zhu Chenglong to whisper in the latter’s ear. “Chenglong, quickly apologize to the instructor and let the matter go.”
“Why should I? I wasn’t the one who caused trouble.” Zhu Chenglong was not happy.
Chen Hansheng’s attitude towards Zhu Chenglong was much more casual. “Why do you have so many f*cking problems? What if the instructor gives us a hard time during military training? Are you going to take responsibility for it? Besides, you don’t have to be too sincere. Just be respectful and we can all move on with our lives.”
Zhu Chenglong hesitated for a moment and in the end, he walked over and perfunctorily said, “Instructor, I’m sorry.”
Chen Hansheng turned to the young instructor. The former had already done so much to ensure the matter was resolved without jeopardizing the dignity and safety of all parties. So a smart person should know what to do with such an apology.
As expected, after the young instructor was silent for a moment, he suddenly shouted, “Students of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences’ Public Administration Class 2, line up! We’re starting your military training now!”
The young instructor’s behavior indirectly suggested that the matter was over and everyone’s long hair was saved.
“Chen Hansheng!”
However, just as Chen Hansheng was about to return to the team, the young instructor suddenly called out to him.
“You smoked during military training and violated school regulations. Give me ten laps around the field, now!”
“F*ck.”
What a petty instructor. Was he punishing Hansheng just because he couldn’t punish Chenglong?
However, if Chen Hansheng argued back, the young instructor would lose it and who knew what he would do then?
‘Running ten laps can calm the instructor’s anger, and I can still maintain his dignity and the stability of the military training at the same time. It’s not a loss!’
Chen Hansheng weighed things in his head and decided to oblige. However, he did not want to run alone.
“Instructor, I would like to report that Yang Shichao also smoked just now. How about five laps for him?”
Yang Shichao had initially been smiling cheekily while standing in line, thinking that he had gotten away with it. But when he heard Hansheng report to the young instructor, he was dismayed.
“No!” The young instructor immediately rejected Hansheng’s proposal. “If Yang Shichao steps out of line, he will also be punished to run ten laps.”
On the stuffy and windless sports field, two boys in military training uniforms were sweating profusely as they ran.
“F*ck you, Chen Hansheng, why did you drag me into this?”
“It’s too boring to do this alone. I’ll treat you to a bottle of soda for dinner.”
“I don’t want to drink soda, I want to drink Red Bull!”
