On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Zhao Ya quietly followed beside everyone, listening to her friends' excited discussion, but her gaze involuntarily drifted again to Shen Xinghe, who was walking slightly ahead.

Alone, his slender figure appeared somewhat lonely in the moonlight and the glow of the still-burning campfire in the distance, yet he was a sight to behold in himself.

She recalled the breathtaking beauty of the chorus just now, and the longing in her heart quietly stirred again.

Seemingly sensing her gaze, Shen Xinghe paused slightly and slowed his pace.

Only when Zhao Ya approached did he turn his head to look at her and, in his uniquely cool voice, unusually took the initiative to ask, "Why are you so concerned about this?

"Shen Xinghe shook the leaf in his hand.

Being caught peeping at someone and then getting caught made Zhao Ya's heart skip a beat, and her cheeks instantly flushed red.

Fortunately, the darkness of night provided her with the best cover.

She was too embarrassed to admit she was looking at someone, so she could only lower her head in a flustered manner and whisper, "Mmm.

""If you want to learn, I can teach you.

It's quite simple.

" Shen Xinghe smiled slightly, raised the leaf, put it to his lips, and gently blew, producing a simple and clear tone.

"I...

I'm not very good at these things," Zhao Ya replied shyly.

"Many things are not innate talents; learning is key.

As long as you are willing, you can do it," Shen Xinghe said calmly.

"Then I'll ask you for leave again next time you're free," Zhao Ya replied with a sweet smile.

"Okay.

" After saying that, Shen Xinghe stopped talking and stopped looking at Zhao Ya, turning around and continuing to walk forward.

But judging from the way he quickly turned his head, it seemed that the bright and sweet smile just now had inadvertently made his heart flutter.

The conversation was simple; after just a few sentences, the two fell silent again.

But this brief conversation stirred up huge waves in Zhao Ya's heart.

If she continued on this pretext, it seemed that she could find an opportunity to be alone with him next time.

Thinking of this, a secret sweetness instantly melted in her heart.

On the other side, Instructor Lei and the other two instructors were also preparing to leave.

One of the instructors chuckled and nudged Instructor Lei with his elbow: "Old Lei, your class is impressive, full of hidden talents.

This Chen Mo is a promising prospect.

Look at his stride and physique; he doesn't look like an ordinary college student.

"As Instructor Lei watched Chen Mo and Su Yuqing walk away side by side, the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly, and he snorted, "They're promising talents, but their backbone is too hard; they need more time to toughen up.

"Even so, the admiration in his eyes was undeniable.

On the way back to the dormitory, the moonlight was bright and the autumn breeze was refreshing.

Everyone was still excitedly discussing every detail of the party, especially Chen Mo and Su Yuqing's amazing performance of "Rolling Eyelashes".

"Now you two are completely famous!

" Wang Lan exclaimed.

"I bet the whole school will know tomorrow that we have a golden couple in our eight-year program.

"Chen Mo smiled helplessly and squeezed Su Yuqing's hand.

Su Yuqing nestled beside him, recalling the wonderful night, her heart sweeter than honey.

The noise gradually faded behind us, and the lights of the dormitory building drew closer.

Although their bodies still felt the fatigue of training, everyone's spirits were thoroughly cleansed by tonight's bonfire and various wonderful performances, filled with energy and injected with new strength.

The second day of military training began with sweat and ended with satisfaction and joy.

This unique experience is deeply etched into everyone's youthful memories.

As night deepens and the autumn air grows slightly cool, the friends, back in their respective dormitories, still feel a warm glow in their hearts, as if the lingering warmth of the campfire has not yet dissipated.

In the girls' dormitory, Lin Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yue were still in a state of excitement, chattering away as they reviewed every detail of the party.

Su Yuqing was constantly teased by her sisters, which made her cheeks blush, but she couldn't suppress the happy smile on her lips.

After she finished washing up, she lay in bed, and the sound of Chen Mo's heartfelt singing and the enthusiastic applause from the audience seemed to still echo in her ears.

She took out her phone, looked at the photo of her and Chen Mo on the lock screen, and gently traced his smiling face with her fingertips, her heart filled with a great sense of peace and sweetness.

Tonight, she bravely took a step forward, and his response was even better than she had imagined.

Zhao Ya was much quieter; her washing and brushing movements were slower than usual, as if she was still lost in thought.

The words "If you want to learn, I can teach you" from Shen Xinghe echoed repeatedly in my ears, along with the slightly trembling eyelashes and focused expression on his face as he played that simple note.

Before going to sleep, she lay in bed, carefully took out the diary placed on the bedside table, and picked out the leaf that had also come from Yunxijian and been used as a bookmark.

She stared at it blankly for a long time.

A shy yet expectant smile bloomed on her lips.

This night was incredibly different for her because of a promise.

The boys' dormitories, however, present a completely different scene.

As soon as Wang Lan entered, she imitated Instructor Lei's hilarious version of a military song, yelling, "Mi so la mi so~ The squad leader said he wants extra food!

Hahahaha, Old Lei is so funny!

"Li Zhe smiled and said, "The instructors' performance was indeed unexpected.

Suddenly, it felt like we were much closer to them.

""Old Lei wasn't that distant to begin with, it's just that you're afraid of him.

" Wang Lan chuckled and then looked at Chen Mo, who was changing clothes.

"But Old Mo, you and your wife are really something tonight!

"He gave a thumbs up, "The two of you standing there look just like two celebrities.

"Chen Mo smiled, didn't say much, and simply hung up the clothes he had changed out of.

For him, external praise was not important; what mattered was that Su Yuqing was happy and that their feelings for each other had grown closer.

He walked to the window and looked at the gradually thinning crowd below, but what came to mind was Su Yuqing's bright eyes in the firelight.

Shen Xinghe was still the last to wash up.

He cleaned himself meticulously, as if trying to wash away the noise of the night.

No one noticed that when he wiped his cheeks with a towel, he paused slightly, as if a bright yet slightly shy smile, which had suddenly blossomed on Zhao Ya's face after she received his promise, seemed to flash before his eyes.

He shook his head slightly, hung up the towel, and returned to his usual aloof demeanor, but that moment of emotional turmoil had truly occurred.

As night deepened, the dormitory lights were turned off one by one.

Moonlight filtered through the window screens, gently spilling into every dormitory room.

Physical fatigue surges like a tide, but mental satisfaction and excitement make it difficult for many to fall asleep.

Some savored the song, some were secretly delighted to have obtained contact information, some looked forward to the next party, and some planned how to naturally say a few words to that special someone tomorrow… (End of Chapter)
