CHAPTER 448: CHAPTER 447 OTHERWORLD SHOPPING!

Seeing Han Mingyue obediently wearing a hat as she came downstairs, a flash of amusement crossed Zhen Yu’s eyes, then she stepped forward to meet her. "Hurry up! It’s almost six!"

Han Mingyue immediately said, "Then let’s just run over there!"

"Okay!"

After running out of the dormitory area, Han Mingyue turned her head to ask Zhen Yu, "The clothes fit very well, did you buy them for me specifically?"

"Mm!" Zhen Yu, not the least bit shy, nodded vigorously in confirmation!

"That was originally a birthday gift!"

"Originally?!"

"Yeah! Now it has been given to you in advance, so I’ll have to prepare another gift for your birthday!"

While explaining, Zhen Yu pondered, it seems she won’t be bored during the military pose sessions in the daytime!

He Baihe’s favorite thing to do is to chat with her while shopping!

Especially when it involves spending her money to satisfy a shopping fix...

However, Han Mingyue hurriedly stopped her, "No need to prepare another one! I really like this gift!"

"You really like it?!" Zhen Yu’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at Han Mingyue!

"How about another set then? This is a couple’s outfit!"

"Couple’s outfit?" Han Mingyue repeated somewhat sheepishly.

Zhen Yu explained bluntly, "It means a man and a woman wearing the same clothes! Oh right! You can’t wear them together at school though!"

Upon hearing this, Han Mingyue thought for a moment, "We can wear it under our school uniforms! Just like I’m doing now!"

"...Mm! Then I know what kind to buy."

Once they reached the playground, the two immediately split up. Each headed to their respective class locations and quickly took their places in the ranks.

——

Even though First High School is a key high school, the military training at the end of the ’90s was almost uniformly conducted across all schools. Long-distance running, standing at attention, and marching! So much turning and moving around! Not to mention the maddening tidying up of dorm affairs!

At six o’clock on the dot, the instructors in charge of the various classes began to call out commands one after another!

Then all the high school freshmen started running against the cool morning breeze of early autumn.

The first lap or two were okay, but by the third lap, people began to fall behind.

By the fourth lap! Almost every class’s lineup was stretched into a thin, long strip.

Zhen Yu didn’t know about other classes, but within Class One, many students had already started to complain to the jogging instructors! "Instructor! Does it have to be so tough? Just the first day and we’re running so much! Give us a chance to adapt first!"

"A lot?" The instructor replied with an even countenance, "The school playground is only 400 meters a lap, four laps make just 1600 meters in total!"

The students cried out in surprise, "1600 meters! And that’s it?!"

The instructor’s expression turned serious. "Your ultimate goal is 3000 meters! Just because today is the first day of morning run, you’re only running half to get used to it!"

"Ah... I can’t go on..."

Amidst the cacophony of groans and keening, Zhen Yu, with her steady breathing and calm demeanor, stood out.

What’s more, she was the one who had just asked for leave right after the first day of military training, so naturally, the instructor had a lasting impression of her!

"Zhen Yu! You tell us, is running 3000 meters every morning a lot?"

As the instructor finished speaking, the whole class turned their heads to look at Zhen Yu!

"Crazy!" Zhen Yu cursed silently in her heart.

How could she answer such a question in front of so many classmates!

Say it’s not a lot? She would become the public enemy of the whole class!

Say it’s a lot? Could she even say that?!

After that, won’t the instructor intentionally give me a hard time?

The darn instructor just wants to use me as a target on purpose!

The hateful part is, even though Zhen Yu has figured out the real situation! But I have no choice but to bow my head under someone else’s roof! In the end, I could only squeeze out two words through gritted teeth!

"Not much!"

——

Zhen Yu, who went against the bro code and lost sisterly affection, was decisively isolated by the entire class.

Luckily, Han Mingyue and Bai Xue were still there to accompany her to breakfast.

Bai Xue, who had nearly lost half her life during training, was dragged to the cafeteria like a dead dog hanging off Zhen Yu’s arm! Along the way from the sports field to the cafeteria, students like her were everywhere.

But Han Mingyue, having been forced by Zhen Yu to practice Martial Arts for a while, was in much better physical shape than before and could still endure the 1600-meter run.

However, in Zhen Yu’s opinion, 3000 meters would be a stretch for him!

"Eat quickly!" Zhen Yu pushed the tray in front of Bai Xue and said: "Finish up and head back to the dorm to drop dead! I predict we’ll probably have to stand at attention this morning!"

Bai Xue, already trembling and weak from getting food, smashed her head on the table!

"Just let me starve to death..."

Zhen Yu gave her a sidelong look and teased: "Think about all those beautiful clothes still waiting for you to wear! Can you bear to die now?"

"I can’t!" Bai Xue pushed herself up from the table with force, and her drooping head immediately perked up!

After pinning her obstructing hair behind her ears in a moment, she grabbed her chopsticks and began to eat!

Such an adorable Bai Xue made Zhen Yu just want to spoil her! Spoil her! And spoil her some more!

Maybe... she should buy a beautiful dress to reward Bai Xue for getting into First High School.

With that thought, another item was added to Zhen Yu’s shopping list for the morning.

——

Zhen Yu guessed right, at eight o’clock in the morning the first thing announced on the sports field was standing at attention!

The students, who had already experienced the ordeal of standing at attention yesterday afternoon, immediately began to fall apart emotionally, each of them on the verge of tears! Zhen Yu, however, stood to attention without blinking and then silently connected to Plane 1, starting to chat online.

In Zhen Yu’s original plan, she would just state her request, and once He Baihe finished the purchase, the exchange would be done!

But the actual situation was that He Baihe would exclaim with surprise every now and then in Zhen Yu’s mind!

He Baihe: "Xiao Yu Xiao Yu! I found a new store, yay! The couple hoodies at this shop are even prettier than the last one we saw!"

"Then pick a set for me, and choose a set for yourself too, I’ll gift it to you!"

He Baihe: "You know I don’t have a boyfriend! Sigh... Why must a single dog like me shop at a couple’s store... You’re blatantly rubbing it in!"

"...Sorry, my bad!"

He Baihe: "Such a good attitude! I guess I’ll reluctantly pick out two more sets for you!"

...Thanks! But actually, I don’t really want that many, what should I do...

——

He Baihe: "Xiao Yu, I’m not lying to you! This dress is really, really gorgeous! Are you sure you don’t want to get matching outfits and wear the same dress as your little best friend?!"

"Really, I don’t want it! I’ve told you before, I don’t like wearing dresses."

He Baihe: "Just one! What if there’s an occasion where you suddenly need to wear one! It’s good to have one on hand just in case! It’s settled then!"

"...You really think I can’t do anything about it, huh?"

He Baihe: "Hehe... Trust me! It’s really very, very gorgeous!"

"Go ahead and buy it!"

Anyway, I won’t wear it even if I buy it.
