41 -41: Harvest?

Does It Count If the Instructor Becomes My Girlfriend _1

September 28th.

Early morning.

The high temperature that had been persisting for nearly a month finally ended with a rain shower during the early hours today.

After the rain, Mist City Arts and Science University was refreshing and cool.

Upon waking up, Ding Yue stood on the balcony of the apartment building, overlooking a hill in the distance of Mist City Arts and Science University.

It was misty and picturesque, quite a sight to behold.

Below the apartment building.

Students decked in military camouflage uniforms gathered in pairs or groups to go to the canteen for breakfast, only after a hearty meal could they have the energy to participate in the military training closing ceremony that was to take place this morning.

After the military training for freshmen, performing a parade is the most important part of the closing ceremony.

This is also the time to evaluate the results of their military training.

Thud, thud, thud!

There was a knock on the door of Ding Yue’s apartment.

“Yue, are you up?

Let’s go grab some breakfast.” came the call from Huang Youjie outside the door.

Ding Yue turned from the balcony to the door, opened it, and there stood Huang and Bin.

“Let’s go.”

The trio left the apartment building.

As they walked along the adjacent Book Fragrance Street, they saw the Dean of the Academic Affairs Office, Qi Chunsheng, driving to school.

“Good morning, Principal Ding.”

“Good morning, Principal Ding.”

“Principal Ding, you are so handsome~”

On the way to Canteen Two, many students who saw Ding Yue greeted him politely of their own accord.

Some girls couldn’t help but admire his handsome looks.

Ding Yue responded to each greeting.

“Principal Ding, Good morning.”

Just as they were almost at Canteen Two, a student nearby greeted Ding Yue in English.

Upon hearing the greeting, Ding Yue turned around and saw a familiar student.

If Ding Yue remembered correctly, this student should be Liu Yuhao, right?

“Morning, you’re Liu Yuhao, right?” Ding Yue smiled, nodded his head, and asked.

“Principal Ding actually remembers me, I’m a little excited.” Liu Yuhao exclaimed in excitement.

“You speak English well?” Ding Yue asked, noting Liu Yuhao’s penchant for English phrases.

“Principal Ding, Yuhao’s English is indeed good.” Zhang Ziming, a friend standing next to Liu Yuhao, came forward and said.

“That’s right, Yuhao did pass the IELTS.

If not for Xiao Yu, he probably would have studied abroad.” Zhou Xingjiang added.

Ding Yue recalled that Liu Yuhao, Zhang Ziming, Zhou Xingjiang, and Chen Yang were all Liu Yuhao’s friends.

It was Liu Yuhao who “coaxed” them into studying at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Each of them came from well-to-do families, so it wasn’t a problem for them to study abroad.

But the reason they didn’t go was that Liu Yuhao’s crush was studying at Mist City Fine Arts College, just across Mist City Arts and Science University.

Ding Yue nodded in satisfaction, “Well done, Liu Yuhao.

How about considering signing up for the National College Student English Speech Contest?

To bring glory to our school?”

Among the list of achievements for the school’s progression.

Ding Yue decided to pass on those related to Science and Engineering—for now.

After all, the school had just started, the teaching work had not officially begun, and it would take a few years to nurture excellent talents in Science and Engineering.

However, the National College Student English Speech Contest was a different matter.

Ding Yue figured he could request students with good English skills to participate in the contest.

It’s worth a go at least, perhaps they might strike it lucky.

What if they accidentally score a first prize?

Out of the more than 9,600 students, although the majority failed the College Entrance Examination, there were many factors, such as partial-scoring, tardiness, wrong shading of the answer sheet, and more.

Surely, there’d be a few with good English skills?

Liu Yuhao could potentially be one of them.

“Yuhao, Principal Ding has singled you out to bring glory to the school.

What a great opportunity, haha.” Liu Yuhao’s friends started to egg him on.

“Principal Ding, I…

I’m just afraid that I might cause embarrassment by getting eliminated in the first round of the National College Student English Speech Contest.” Liu Yuhao voiced his concern.

“It doesn’t matter, participation is the key and the school doesn’t require you to achieve a particular result.” Ding Yue didn’t want to put undue pressure on the student.

“Alright then!”

Hearing those words coming from the Principal himself, Liu Yuhao agreed without further hesitation: “Principal Ding, I’ll sign up for the National College Student English Speech Contest!”

Liu Yuhao harbored a good impression towards the school and its leaders.

He still remembered clearly that when the military trainers first arrived, he and his friends happened to run into the Principal and expressed their wish to share a dormitory with their close friends.

Unexpectedly, Principal Ding agreed readily.

“Very good.” Seeing Liu Yuhao taking the bait, Ding Yue flashed him a thumbs-up: “Good luck.”

“Bin, it seems that the students we’ve recruited have a high level of consciousness.” Huang whispered to Xu Bin, who was next to him.

“Honestly, since the school started, we’ve seen many students making significant changes.

Logically speaking, most of our students are academically-challenged, but during the military training period, the school library was packed almost every day.”

Xu Bin was confused.

Perhaps it was due to the environmental conditions at Mist City Arts and Science University.

After all, the school treats its students well.

However, only Ding Yue knew the real reason.

The [Junior Focus Scroll] used on the day of the opening ceremony had played a significant role.

From current appearances, it seemed to show some effect.

“We’ve undergone military training for over twenty days, and it’s ending today.

What have you guys gained so far?”

As Ding Yue walked to Canteen Two with Liu Yuhao and several other students, he asked about their military training experience.

“My body has become stronger!” Zhou Xingjiang flexed his muscles proudly.

“I have become more disciplined.” Zhang Ziming replied.

“As for me, I’ve found that I actually like reading.” Liu Yuhao said with a smile: “I wonder if that counts as gain from military training?”

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue nodded in satisfaction.

It seemed that after more than twenty days of military training, the students had gained a lot from the experience.

Just then…

Liu Yuhao’s friend, Chen Yang, walked over with a beautiful female instructor in a camouflage uniform.

“Principal Ding, speaking of gains…

I got a girlfriend, who happens to be a military training instructor.

Does that count?”

Upon finishing his sentence, Chen Yang and the beautiful instructor, Su Jing, interlocked their fingers.

Ding Yue, Huang Youjie, and Xu Bin were stunned on the spot.

Well!

Getting a dose of a sweet relationship first thing in the morning?

Does that mean we should stop having breakfast?

“Good, any gain is good.

I hope that after the end of military training, everyone can continue to maintain a good state.

Get ready to face your four-year wonderful university life.” Ding Yue said and quickened his pace to Canteen Two.

If he did not walk fast now, he would have to bear the sight of Chen Yang and Su Jing displaying their affection.

Huang and Bin also sensed the sickly-sweet scent of love and hurriedly followed Ding Yue’s pace.
