Chapter 20
That afternoon, the students had official military training. Since it was the first session, there were bound to be accidents and mishaps – heatstroke, anemia, and the like. Public Administration Class 2 also had issues with the session.
There was a boy named Zhu Chenglong whose hair was longer than a typical boy’s. An experienced instructor would not care about such a small matter, but the instructor who led the team training this year was a young man.
The young instructor criticized Zhu Chenglong for his hair, but Zhu Chenglong was not bothered. The latter thought to himself, ‘The older instructor didn’t even say anything. What right do you have to care about my hair?’
This only made the young instructor feel challenged. He angrily found a pair of scissors and said that he would personally cut off Zhu Chenglong’s hair.
Chen Hansheng was not at the scene when the incident happened. He and Yang Shichao had gone to the convenience store to buy cigarettes. When they came back, the dispute had already happened.
The classmates had never witnessed such an incident. They either watched foolishly or stood with Zhu Chenglong to support him. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Hu Linyu was ready to report to their professor and the young instructor’s superior. But she bumped into Chen Hansheng who was on his way back.
“Why are you panicking?” asked Chen Hansheng.
Hu Linyu briefly explained the matter. Just as she was about to leave, Chen Hansheng reached out to stop her. The idiot Yang Shichao thought that Chen Hansheng was flirting with a woman, so he also blocked Hu Linyu’s way.
“Chen Hansheng, now is not the time to joke around. Hurry up and get out of my way,” said Hu Linyu anxiously.
“What are you planning on doing? Report to Professor Guo and the young instructor’s superior? Maybe get Zhu Chenglong and that young instructor punished? This matter should be resolved in a subtler manner, behind closed doors.”
Chen Hansheng left her and went into the crowds. “What on earth is happening?”
The young instructor turned to look at the student who spoke. He was dressed in military training uniform, tall, and had a cigarette in his mouth. He looked like a ruffian.
“Who are you?” asked the instructor with a frown.
Chen Hansheng threw the cigarette butt away. It was obvious that the young instructor disliked smoking. Since he had come to solve the problem, it’d be best that he wasn’t part of the problem.
“Hello, Instructor. My name is Chen Hansheng, a student of Public Administration Class 2.”
Chen Hansheng first revealed his identity and then said, “I have a suggestion. How about we put the scissors down before we speak so that we don’t accidentally stab ourselves or others?”
Although the young instructor did not mean to hurt anyone, it was easy for people to lose control of their emotions when they were angry. The teeth marks on Chen’s arm were still there. Who would have thought that it would be from Xiao Rongyu?
The young instructor had a strong sense of self-esteem. He glanced coldly at Chen Hansheng and said, “Boys are not allowed to grow long hair during military training. I just wanted to help him cut some length off!”
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!”
