The other trainees had finished their 400-meter obstacle training, and by then, the sky had darkened.
Pu Jie's anticipated confrontation didn't occur.
After the group assembled, Zhou Zhenglong barked, "You all really disappointed me, but no matter, we'll take it slow.
I'd like to remind everyone present that someone reported private fights in the dormitory.
Such discipline-breaking behavior is absolutely not allowed in our team.
Whoever I catch will be expelled immediately."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, with Long Fei and Chu Feng looking at each other in confusion.
Zhou Zhenglong quickly added, "Private fights are not allowed here, but fair and open competition is permitted. If you have grudges, hold them in, I will give you a chance!"
He deliberately looked at Pu Jie, then at Long Fei and Chu Feng.
The three of them swallowed hard, having wanted to fight today, but now it seemed there was no chance.
After being dismissed, Long Fei and Chu Feng were held back again.
They didn't care—leaving early meant not getting enough to eat, and they'd rather be late and finish the leftovers.
As Pu Jie passed by them, he snorted coldly, "You're lucky, I'll let you be arrogant for a few more days!"
Long Fei covered his ears, saying somewhat speechlessly, "Pu showing off, do you know, the moment you speak, I feel like beating you to death!"
Chu Feng laughed out loud, shouting at Pu Jie, "Get lost, I'm afraid I can't help but kill you!"
"Just you wait!"
Pu Jie's face turned green with anger, clenching his fists and pointing at them before leaving with a group of people.
Pang San and others stood with them, none of them leaving.
Zhou Zhenglong shouted, "You six, go eat!"
Pang San blurted out, "Instructor, we share our fortunes and misfortunes together, we want to stay!"
"That's right, we'll share the hardship!"
"Instructor, please grant us our wish!"
Zhou Zhenglong's mouth twitched, as he agreed, "Alright, if you want to eat leftovers, then stay!"
He turned and walked away, leaving behind eight people, all bursting with laughter.
Half an hour later, the group of eight, including Long Fei, entered the dining hall.
The cooks, for some reason, had suddenly become normal, putting hot dishes in one basin and cold dishes in another, not mixing them with the rice.
When Long Fei and company went over, the cook knocked on the basin and instructed them, "Scoop out the food to eat, don't just dig in from the basin, alright?"
Long Fei and Chu Feng smiled and nodded, carrying their plates to the table.
Each took a large bowl, filled it with rice, and immediately started eating with their chopsticks.
Fat San and the others knew that Long Fei and Chu Feng had big appetites.
When they actually sat down to eat together, the six were shocked.
The two of them were nothing short of eating champions; they were on their third bowls of rice before the others had even finished one.
With chicken stewed with potatoes, the two stuffed the meat into their mouths, not even spitting out the bones, and just chewed and swallowed.
The two cooks bet against each other, one saying they couldn't finish all the rice in the basin.
In less than ten minutes, the basin of rice was empty.
Long Fei went over and specifically asked, "Uncle, is there any more rice?"
"No more!"
The cook spat blood, yelling, "Bring over my basin!"
Long Fei brought the basin over, mumbling, "If there's none, there's none, why yell!"
He went back, and with Chu Feng, cleared out the dishes as well.
In the end, the dormitory mates wiped their mouths and left.
The two cooks stood in the back, each muttered under their breath, "Beasts!"
Ever since those two arrived, it was clear that the pigs in the back were not getting enough to eat.
Management was more relaxed at night; everyone was free to move around outside, but couldn't leave the training center's main gate.
Long Fei and Chu Feng didn't go back to the dorm, instead sitting down in the small garden outside to smoke a cigarette.
Chu Feng looked around and said, "Is this training center run by monks? Why isn't there a single woman in sight?"
Long Fei laughed, "We probably just came at an unlucky time; I've seen a girls' dormitory over there, but unfortunately, there's no one living in it!"
Chu Feng asked him, "Long Fei, do you still have your first time?"
"Why do you ask?"
Long Fei's face turned red, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Chu Feng said, "I have a set of Virgin Boys' Kung Fu that can only be practiced by someone who has not yet lost his primordial yang. I'm no longer a virgin, so I thought of passing it on to you!"
Long Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sorry, I'm not a virgin either!"
Chu Feng burst out laughing, "You sly boy, I never suspected! Confess, which girl was it? Is she pretty?"
Long Fei looked up into the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, the image of that lovely woman floating before his eyes.
He described her to Chu Feng, "The girl has a great temperament, a slender figure, and her looks aren't bad either. Unfortunately, I don't know her name or what she does. Sometimes, it feels like that night was just a dream!"
"A one-night stand, eh!"
Chu Feng yelled, startling Long Fei so much that he quickly covered his mouth with his hand, fearing someone might hear.
Chu Feng glared with wide eyes, calling out to him, "I wouldn't have guessed, Mr. Honest, that you'd have a one-night stand!"
Long Fei shook his head, hurrying to say, "It's not what you think; that night was special, and I didn't want it to happen!"
"Do you like her?"
Chu Feng asked him.
"I like her!"
Long Fei nodded earnestly and said seriously, "She was the first woman I slept with; I have to take responsibility for her, I must marry her!"
Chu Feng reminded him, "What if she already has a husband?"
"Impossible!"
Long Fei shook his head, affirming, "She was also her first time; how could she have a husband?"
"Really?"
Chu Feng's eyes bulged as he thumped his chest and lamented loudly, "Dude, I've been with so many women, and I've never encountered a virgin! Your luck is just too good, isn't it?"
Long Fei tossed away the cigarette butt, not wanting to discuss the matter further.
Just thinking about that woman gave him a massive headache.
He got up and returned to the dormitory, with Chu Feng shouting behind him, "Let's talk some more, what position did you use that night? Was she satisfied? Do you need me to teach you a few tricks?"
In a villa district in the city, Lin Yingying was holding her laptop, flipping through the financial report when she suddenly sneezed hard.
Lin Shanshan sat beside her, munching on an apple, staring at her closely.
She lifted her foot, kicked her sister, and with a mischievous laugh asked, "Sis, you've been a bit odd these past two days, haven't you?"
"What's up?"
Lin Yingying stared at her computer, ignoring her.
Lin Shanshan said, "You're not cold, yet you just sneezed out of nowhere. This means someone is thinking about you!"
Lin Yingying took a breath, closed her laptop, and chastised Lin Shanshan, "If you don't speak, nobody will think you're mute!"
She picked up her milk and took a sip, getting ready to go to her bedroom to sleep.
Lin Shanshan clung to her, followed her into the bedroom, jumped onto her bed, and asked, "Sis, didn't Grandpa once say that he had arranged a marriage for you?
He said that when that man finds you, you'd marry him.
I'm saying, if, just if he really appears, would you marry him?"
"I won't marry him; I'll marry you off to him!"
Lin Yingying tapped her on the head and slipped into the cool summer quilt, turning her back to her.
"You said it! If the guy turns out to be handsome, you can't compete with me for him!"
Lin Shanshan giggled, hugging her from behind.
Her hand slipped and touched her breast, and she exclaimed, "Wow, so big!"
Lin Yingying pushed her hand away, ignored her, and touched the jade pendant below her neck.
Grandpa said, these jade pendants come in a pair, male and female.
The male one is called Dragon Blood Stone, and the female one is called Phoenix Blood Stone.
Wearing this pendant brings good luck and wards off all evil.
He also said that she should marry the man who owns the Dragon Blood Stone.
That day, in a fit of pique, she had thrown the pendant at home only to be slept with by a stranger.
Thinking back on it, she truly regretted not listening to Grandpa's words.
