When Jiang Sui woke up, it was already dark. The window was open and the night wind blew the curtains fluttering.
She sighed softly under the soft quilt, she was so tired that she didn’t want to get up. However, falling asleep in the car was not good, not to mention that it was probably Chi Yan who carried her back, which was really embarrassing.
Jiang Sui perked up and got up from the bed. A light was on in the living room. Chi Yan was signing a document. When he saw her coming out, he put down his pen first and said, “Let’s eat.”
Chi Yan was not used to having a nanny at home, but for convenience, he still hired a temporary worker.
The temporary worker stayed a little longer today. When she brought dinner, Jiang Sui found that she had had an extra bowl of egg custard than Chi Yan.
She bit the spoon and ate more than ever because she was hungry.
Chi Yan: “Is military training tiring?”
Jiang Sui said: “Not bad.”
Chi Yan saw that her cheeks which had been fair when she went out in the morning had turned sunburned when she came back. He couldn’t help but say, “If you are too tired, you don’t have to go.” In fact, there was no practical significance in training for a few days.
Jiang Sui quickly shook her head: “No, everyone has to go, and a few days will pass in a flash.” She was very optimistic, “It’s not too hard.”
However, the girls still needed to hide under umbrellas when they were resting. The instructors were ruthless and cruel. In order to prepare for the school’s military training ceremony, they naturally trained the students to death.
Seeing that she insisted, Chi Yan stopped talking.
The next day, Jiang Sui regained her energy when she participated in military training. Although she walked unsteadily when she was a child, she had good physical fitness after growing up.
As soon as Chen Shujun saw her, she whispered, “I heard that many people asked for leave since yesterday, and several people got heat stroke. But most of the leave requests were rejected.”
Every year there was a large group of freshmen complaining, so it was common for them to ask for leave for various reasons.
Although the military training time at R University was not long, the training content was famous for being extremely devilish. The most unfortunate thing was that the seventh platoon encountered a devilish instructor.
Jiang Sui stood straight with her hands on her trouser seams, sweat dripping down her cheeks. The scorching sun shone on the students, and Jiang Sui felt that a large area of their camouflage uniforms must have been wet.
One girl couldn’t stand the instructor’s repeated corrections on her posture and started crying on the spot.
The instructor not only did not sympathize with her, but became even more severe, saying that students nowadays could not bear the slightest hardship, and asked her to stand up and shout slogans. It was said that the boys were also unable to bear it.
In fact, the military training this year was not very reasonable. They only had ten minutes of rest time in the whole morning. The temperature in R city in early September reached 39 degrees in the afternoon. 2005 was also the hottest year. If it were other schools, most of them would choose to have a holiday.
R University was not a prestigious school, so the instructors they hired were also not particularly professional. Jiang Sui found that the places where the instructors walked back and forth were all shaded areas, and they could drink water at any time, but the students could not.
Chen Shujun’s legs were shaking, but this style of military training had continued for nearly ten years, and the students at R University were all ordinary students, so no one dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
Everyone started running again in the afternoon. Jiang Sui put on shoes that fit her feet. Although it was no longer so uncomfortable, she still felt a burning pain in her throat after running three laps around the 400-meter playground in the scorching heat.
Today was hotter than yesterday. It was said that the next week would be extremely hot. Everyone was in a state of mourning, and even the excitement of entering university had completely disappeared.
Jiang Sui looked rather disheveled as she dragged her tired body to the school gate. Her curled eyelashes were almost covered with sweat.
Chi Yan was solving the problem of the lost “queen” pearl, so he asked Shui Yang to pick her up. Shui Yang saw a disheveled little girl, her hair was wet with sweat, her eyes were tired and lifeless, and her fair and tender skin was sunburned red when he arrived.
Jiang Sui knew that the weather was not that hot yesterday, but she felt at least several times more miserable today than she did yesterday.
Shui Yang said: “The boss has something to do, I will take you home.”
She had been thinking, seeing me looking so pitiful like a delicate flower hit by frost, I’m sure Chi Yan would be heartbroken if he couldn’t see it.
Chi Yan was not at peace. He felt uncomfortable when he thought that Jiang Sui might fall asleep in Shui Yang’s car today. Although Shui Yang was sensible, Chi Yan still found time to send a text message: “Did you pick up the person? How is it?”
Shui Yang said: “I got it. She looks very tired.”
“If she is so sleepy that she falls asleep, turn on the air conditioner and lock the car, let her sleep, and get out and drive my car back to the company.”
Shui Yang didn’t understand this long string of instructions at first and was trying to figure out what they meant.
Later he suddenly understood that what it actually meant was – don’t touch her.
Shui Yang: “…”
Fortunately, although Jiang Sui was very sleepy, she insisted on not falling asleep. She gradually developed a sense of trust in Chi Yan, but she was not so carefree as to fall asleep anywhere.
She thanked him politely: “Thank you, Shui Yang.”
Shui Yang asked: “Is there still military training in school when it’s so hot?”
The hot summer continued in early autumn this year. Shui Yang was also surprised that the school not only did not have a holiday, but also held military training like this.
Jiang Sui said, “Yes.”
Chi Yan quickly finished his work and ran into Shui Yang. So, Chi Yan asked, “She went home?”
Shui Yang: “Yes, I’m not saying that. Don’t feel bad when you see her like that. This school is too strict. The weather this year is weird. I don’t know why they can’t postpone it for a while. The little girl looks miserable. She is sweating all over. Her neck is almost sunburned. Her voice is hoarse. It’s just that they don’t feel bad since it’s not their own child. Rules are not as important as people.”
Chi Yan’s face darkened.
He drove home and saw the girl curled up on the sofa and having fallen asleep waiting for him to eat after taking a shower. She looked so obedient and quiet.
Chi Yan frowned tightly. He found that he frowned more these days than in the past few days. He gently lifted the long hair on her neck, and sure enough, there was a small red spot, which had not faded yet.
Her hair was not quite dry yet, and she fell asleep with her hands half-holding the hairdryer.
A surge of anger surged in Chi Yan’s heart.
He thought his emotions had become stagnant, but he didn’t expect them to be so fierce. As Shui Yang said, the girl at the school was not their own so they didn’t feel bad.
In the past, when he was raising Chi Yiming, Chi Yan thought that the two brothers just needed to keep each other company. But now he had a weak and powerless girl like this, and he even wanted to get angry when she got sunburned.
He calmed down quickly, and by the time she woke up rubbing her eyes, his frown had disappeared without a trace.
Chi Yan asked calmly, “Why didn’t you tell me you were so tired and hot?”
Jiang Sui whispered, “I’m afraid you’ll worry.”
Chi Yan’s eyes were filled with anger, but it was not directed at her. He said, “Go to bed early today, and you’ll be fine tomorrow.”
Jiang Sui thought that everything would be fine tomorrow and it was a comforting remark, so she nodded in agreement.
Until the third day when military training began.
