“Is that so?” Yudie looked at everyone.
“Yes!” The classmates all nodded.
Yudie glanced at Xiao Han and said, “No matter the situation, you mustn’t take action recklessly. However, you did well this time. I support you!”
“What?!” Xiao Han thought he was going to be criticized, but to his surprise, Yudie actually praised him.
“I will talk to the school and ask them to assign a new instructor,” Yudie said.
With Yudie’s intervention, the military police soon sent a civilian female officer to take over the instructor’s position. Being a woman, and inherently maternal, everyone got along with her very well, and the day passed quickly.
On the first day of the military training, most people were exhausted to the point of collapse.
Back in the dormitory. Liu Bin excitedly said, “Xiao Han, I heard you knocked the instructor down today?”
“Exactly!” Zhang Feng grinned and said, “That instructor had a face that was just begging to be punched.”
“Damn, this news has even made it to the school forum, pushing Yudie’s post down,” Liu Bin browsed the school’s forum.
“Damn, really?” Zhang Feng hurried over to look.
Zhang Dagou chuckled and said, “Xiao Han, never realized it before, but you’re pretty impressive, aren’t you?”
“I just couldn’t help myself,” Xiao Han said lightly with a smile.
Chatting and laughing, they headed to the cafeteria with their bowls in hand.
Today, being the first day of military training, many people rushed to the cafeteria like starving ghosts. The queue to get food was very long.
Suddenly, a familiar figure stood in front of him: “Xiao Han, we meet again.”
“Is it you?” Xiao Han looked at the other party with a surprised face.
Dressed in camouflage, looking very handsome, with a cap worn at a rakish angle, he appeared very unconstrained. He seemed to have a cocky personality and was followed by two tall and imposing men. Xiao Han remembered this guy—he was the wealthy heir who had pursued Li Ruobing at the school gate on the very first day of registration.
“Heh heh…” Qin Xiaotian sneered and said, “Remember my name, I’m Qin Xiaotian!”
After speaking, Qin Xiaotian left with his entourage.
“Damn, he’s so arrogant?” Zhang Dagou retorted irritably.
“Because he has the capital to be arrogant!” Zhang Feng’s expression darkened.
“Who exactly is he?” Liu Bin asked, puzzled.
“He’s the Second Young Master Qin from the Qin Family in the provincial city,” Zhang Feng said with a slightly somber expression, “The Qin family is very powerful in the provincial city, reportedly among the top three wealthiest in the province and also ranked on Forbes. This young master Qin has just started college, and he has one trait, he is lascivious. Any beautiful girl, he will try his best to have her. So, we better not offend him or the consequences are unimaginable.”
“Damn, this is how the wealthy live!” Liu Bin cursed.
“This is indeed a distorted society,” Zhang Dagou complained, “Damn, wealthy people can be above the law, buy everything with money, and exploit legal loopholes. Poor people can only accept their misfortune.”
“Ah…” Liu Bin sighed.
“I’ve never been afraid of anyone,” Xiao Han sneered, “If no one offends me, I won’t offend anyone; but if someone offends me, I eradicate them completely.”
The others looked at Xiao Han incredulously and shook their heads helplessly.
After dinner, Xiao Han felt that he should urgently improve his own strength. Qin Xiaotian seemed to have his eye on him, and with such a powerful background against him, a commoner like himself, it would be difficult to contend with him without enhancing his own strength swiftly.
After dinner, Xiao Han went out for a walk alone.
As he was passing the Comprehensive Building, he suddenly heard elegant piano music coming from inside. It was Mozart’s Minuet. It was a challenging piece to play, and unexpectedly, someone was playing this Minuet so movingly, so profoundly.
Xiao Han couldn’t help but walk toward the classroom.
The school had a piano room with only one piano. When Xiao Han walked towards the doorway, he saw a white silhouette, whose casually cascading black hair fell to her waist. Accompanied by gentle music, those water-like notes leapt through the air as if they were adorable sprites, tickling Xiao Han’s nerves.
That silhouette was beautiful, stunningly beautiful. Her facial contours were captivating, and the lines on her face were very gentle and moist. She was slightly bent over, with her eyes closed and her long eyelashes flickering.
A strand of beautiful black hair fluttered with the breeze, crescent eyebrows like willow leaves, a pair of bright eyes as stars and moons, a delicate nose, blushing cheeks, and small cherry lips. Her face was shy and affectionate like a blossoming flower, her skin as clear as snow and tender as honey, and her figure slender and graceful, like a cluster of quiet orchids. Xiao Han had not expected to encounter such a beautiful, enchanting, and utterly mesmerizing girl here.
Xiao Han stood motionless at the door, the girl like a lovely sprite playing a wonderful piece of music in the classroom. Xiao Han didn’t dare move, fearing he might disturb this lovely sprite, this celestial beauty.
As the music ended, she curiously turned her head to look at Xiao Han, and their eyes met. Her gaze was clear, soft, as pure as a patch of snow atop Holy Peak. Xiao Han was astounded beyond belief; when he first saw the girl, he felt somewhat suffocated — indeed, there were such beautiful and inviolable girls in the world. Perhaps the term “fairy descending to earth” was tailor-made for her.
The girl smiled gently, her smile pure with a touch of shyness. Her complexion was dewy, her white peony soft gauze clothing trailing on the floor, embodying a tender and melting allure.
If one had to describe her with something, perhaps it truly would only be a lotus, like her, only to be admired from a distance but not desecrated.
The girl stood up from her seat, holding the sheet music in her arms, gave Xiao Han a slight bow, then got up and left.
Xiao Han remained motionless, or rather, he was completely captivated by the girl’s beauty. His eyes never left her figure. His gaze moved as she moved. At that moment, Xiao Han finally believed that love at first sight indeed existed in this world.
The girl slowly walked past Xiao Han, then disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Xiao Han watched the long corridor, as the girl in the white dress left his sight, her faint fragrance still lingering in his nose, unsure if it was perfume or her natural body scent. Xiao Han didn’t dare move, afraid that the faint scent would vanish. He closed his eyes, gently breathing in the mild scent in the air.
It was unclear how much time had passed before Xiao Han slowly opened his eyes.
Xiao Han walked slowly towards the piano; the bench still retained the girl’s warmth. He touched it gently, without any intention of desecration. His heart felt only a reverence akin to worship. He sat down on the bench, his hands gently caressing the black and white piano keys.
Boom…
Xiao Han couldn’t resist pressing a piano key, with his strong memory and basic piano skills. He had remembered the minuet the girl had just played. He gently played the minuet; the piano sound echoed in the classroom.
The feeling of Xiao Han playing was clearly different from that of the girl. Her soft playing carried a touch of joy, gentleness, and liveliness, like a lovely pine tree leaping and dancing between the woods. Xiao Han’s piano sound was somewhat deeper and melancholic, filled with a trace of longing, yearning, and dreams.
It was as if a grizzly bear searching for a mate in the jungle, he roared with his rough voice, bellowing…
After finishing the song, Xiao Han felt as though he had been in a very long dream.
He forgot; he had always forgotten to ask the girl her name, her department, her class.
He returned to his dorm in a daze. Liu Bin was playing Great Heroes Alliance, Zhang Dagou had gone out on a date again, and Zhang Feng had collected a lot of newspapers, looking for jobs in the recruitment section, hoping to find a part-time job that could at least support himself. After all, he came from a poor family, and his mother at home was sick, requiring thousands of yuan in medicine every month. All these were money, how could he shamelessly ask for money from home?
“Xiao Han, why are you so distracted?” Liu Bin asked curiously.
“I…” Xiao Han paused and said, “It’s nothing, I was just thinking about what I should perform at the welcoming party.”
“Why not go on stage and do a set of martial arts moves!” Liu Bin chuckled.
“Get lost.” Xiao Han suddenly laughed, then said, “At the welcoming party, you perform martial arts moves, what’s that supposed to mean?”
“Isn’t it the same?” Liu Bin smiled and continued to turn his head to play his computer game.
Xiao Han lay on his bed, his eyes staring straight at the ceiling. After a long while, Xiao Han called out, “Liu Bin, what should you do if you meet a girl? How do you start a conversation with her? How do you ask for her name and phone number?”
Liu Bin was startled, then hurried over and said, “You rascal, could it be that you’ve taken a fancy to some girl?”
“Ah?” Xiao Han was surprised and said, “No, it’s nothing like that, I just wanted to ask. If you liked a girl, how would you take the initiative to ask for her name and phone number?”
“This…” Liu Bin paused slightly, then burst into laughter, and said, “That’s easy, just go up and ask. If a man is too shy, he definitely won’t get the girl. With you being handsome and impressive, as long as you are willing to be bold, what kind of girl can’t you pursue?”
“But she’s different!” Xiao Han said with a wry smile.
“What’s different about her?” Liu Bin asked.
“She’s like a brightly colored butterfly, also like a charming fairy.” Xiao Han looked dreamily, gazing up at the snowy white ceiling, and said, “She’s also like a white lotus flower atop Holy Peak. She looks pure and ice-cold, extremely aloof. She feels very difficult to approach.”
