……

My singing was actually pretty average. Although I didn't sing out of tune, I didn't remember many of the lyrics, so I could only muddle through. But the classmates seemed quite satisfied with what I heard, and the applause was quite enthusiastic.

"Who will be the next person to volunteer?" Teacher Song raised the microphone again.

No one answered, and no one dared to look directly into Teacher Song's eyes. For most students who were not good at expressing themselves, this kind of public execution was really scary.

"Song...Teacher Song, can I...can I try it?" A small voice came from the front row.

"Bai Xilu?" Teacher Song was a little surprised. Bai Xilu was a petite girl with a very introverted personality. Because she was too introverted, she didn't even dare to raise her hand to answer questions in class. But she actually raised her hand at this moment. This must have taken a lot of courage.

"What song do you want to sing?"

"Proud Of You"

Bai Xilu took the microphone, and her whole temperament changed instantly. In an instant, she was like a young eagle learning to fly, spreading its wings for the first time.

-Love in your eyes, Going on holding hands

-Walking through the nights

I knelt down as soon as I started singing. My mother asked me why I knelt down to listen to the song. Compared with my immature singing skills, Bai Xilu's voice was like a fairy descending to the earth, clear and bright, hitting the heart directly, with standard pronunciation, just like a standard European and American singer singing.

-I can fly

-I'm proud that I can fly

When it came to the climax of the song, Bai Xilu's perfect high voice resounded through the car, and almost all the students opened their mouths wide. It turned out that the big guy was right next to them. The singing was so amazing. This was what almost everyone thought.

...

-Spread my wings so wide

After the song ended, the sound was still ringing in my ears. This is what singing is all about! I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. With this level, I shouldn't be the lead singer for Hong Wuyue. If she had gone on stage, maybe talent scouts would have come to me. As expected, everyone has their own specialty. Even if I were reborn 100 times, I would never be able to sing that well.

Amid thunderous applause from the whole class, Xi Bailu ran back with her head down and her face red. In an instant, she turned from a determined goddess into a shy little girl again.

As we were singing, we arrived at the training camp. This is a semi-militarized management organization located in the suburbs of the city. It mainly provides military training, interest activities or skills training for primary and secondary school students in the city. It is equivalent to a third-party school, but it is established by the government, so it is very formal. For example, the training instructors this time are soldiers recruited from the regular army.

"Wait a minute, get off the car. Don't talk or laugh. Just follow me. Also, keep a serious expression." Before getting off the car, I pulled Tang Xin over and warned her.

"Ah? Why?" Tang Xin frowned, a little confused.

"I'm too lazy to explain. You'll know it soon. Just follow me." I picked up my luggage and followed everyone out of the car.

"stand at attention!"

Sure enough, before everyone had lined up, the instructor had already arrived. After handing over the list and other documents to Teacher Song, he walked to the front of our bus and started yelling at us fiercely.

"You, you, you, and a few of you, get out of line!" The instructor pointed at a few boys and girls and shouted at them to get out of the queue.

These people were so frightened that they immediately turned to Teacher Song for help.

"Why are you looking at me? You have to listen to the instructor here." Teacher Song spread his hands, "I won't care about you anymore."

"I'll count to 123. If you don't get out of line, you'll have to bear the consequences!"

These people were so frightened that they turned pale. Carrying their luggage, they carefully walked out of the long queue.

"Were you having a good time just now? Do 10 push-ups on the spot."

These few people looked at each other, then slowly got on the ground and started to do it.

"The movements are too non-standard, twenty!"

This is a warning to others and will help establish the instructor's prestige and improve his ability to execute commands in future training.

How good can the students' physical strength be? Especially the girls, who were exhausted after doing push-ups and looked miserable. Tang Xin turned her head and looked at me gratefully. She wanted to say something, but I glared back at her. If she didn't want to be scolded, she should shut up.

"Very good, the rest of the students are organized and disciplined. Follow your class teacher into the dormitory building and put your luggage away. Gather at the playground in twenty minutes. Anyone who is one minute late will do a push-up!"

After that, the students rushed to the dormitory building. Because it was a random arrangement, I was not assigned to the same dormitory as Tang Xin, but was assigned to the same room with Bai Xilu, who sang very well before. The other two girls were Song Yannan and Huang Yingying. There were four people in the room, and I was not familiar with any of them.

Chapter 2 Military Training ()

Before we had time to pack our things, we hurried to the playground to gather. With the lessons learned from the previous experience, no one in our class was late.

Although it was nine o'clock in the morning, the scorching sun in August was enough to make people feel painful. Under the guidance of the instructor, our class formed six rows of squares on the school playground.

"Okay, now let me introduce myself. My last name is Fang, and you can call me Instructor Fang." Instructor Fang is as his name suggests, about 1.8 meters tall, with a square face, a standard square character, and a bit of heroism between his eyebrows, looking like a soldier. "From today on, I will be responsible for your military training for the next seven days. During this period, you must obey my orders unconditionally. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Louder, haven't you had breakfast yet?"

"I understand!"

"Good! Very spirited! Now, I'll emphasize a few things, a few points of attention, you must keep in mind." Instructor Fang nodded with satisfaction and continued, "First, if there is anything, you must report first. If you don't report and talk, you must do 10 sit-ups! Second, you are not allowed to leave the school without permission. If you are caught, you will be treated as failing the military training! Third, if you encounter an emergency, find me or the dormitory administrator first. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

"Very good. Now follow us and trot forward to get the necessary equipment."

Then we followed the instructor to the gymnasium to collect supplies, which were actually a kettle, two basins and some toiletries. Each person was also given two sets of camouflage uniforms and rubber shoes required for military training. After receiving these miscellaneous items, Instructor Fang gave us another 20 minutes to go back to the dormitory to put away the items and change clothes.

The material of this camouflage uniform is hard to describe, it is rough and hard, I had to wear a thin underwear inside to prevent my skin from being rubbed by the clothes, but my limbs were still in close contact with the clothes, and the pain caused by the clothes made me frown. Not to mention the shoes, these rubber shoes are the roughest kind of cloth shoes, the rubber soles are so thin that they not only do not fit comfortably on the soles of the feet, but also have a strong sense of the road. It is no exaggeration to say that I can tell the material of the road surface with my eyes closed when I step on the ground. After filling the water bottle with water, I returned to the queue with the water bottle.

Instructor Fang saw that we were all present, so he asked us to stand at attention on the playground. As the other classes gathered in place, Instructor Fang began to speak.

"Yes, your speed is the best in the whole school, faster than the other thirteen classes! You deserve praise, and we will be the first to go to the cafeteria to eat. However, before that, I still have some time to teach you about your appearance and attire."

As he said this, he walked around our team several times.

"All of you, including you. You. Step out of line."

Many girls were called out, unfortunately, me, Tang Xin and a few familiar girls were among them, this call almost called out half of the girls in the class. Of course, there were also many boys.

"Grow your hair long." He looked at us, his eyes scanning, "You still grow your hair long for military training?"

"Let's talk about the boys first. Do you think long hair looks good?" Instructor Fang said in a tough tone, pretending to be very angry. "All of you boys, your lunch break is cancelled. Go to the school barber shop and shave your hair short! Return to the team."

Then the boys returned to the queue, and we girls were the only ones left.

"Girls, I understand having long hair. But during military training, if you don't want to have your hair shaved short, you must tie up all your long hair, either in a ponytail or any other style. I don't care, as long as it is breathable and does not affect exercise. Now, you will form groups of two and work in pairs to style your hair!"

The person who tied my hair happened to be Bai Xilu. She was a little short, so I had to half squat to let her help. My long hair became a long ponytail, but this was also my first time to tie this hairstyle. I didn't change it before because I didn't know how to do it and was too lazy to do it. After all, washing and blowing it dry is a big project.

When it was my turn to help her with her hair, I discovered a serious problem: I had no hair tie!

"Report!" I reported immediately.

"We don't have enough hair ties!" I also saw that many girls were in awkward situations, so I was the first to report the problem to Instructor Fang.

He was stunned. As a straight man, he obviously hadn't considered this at all. "That's right. Then you can tie it up after you go back today. Now return to the team first."

"Yes." I saw many girls looking at me with gratitude. Otherwise, with their timid nature, I don't know when they would have reported this problem to the instructor.

"Thank you for the hair tie." I touched the rope on my head and thanked Bai Xilu.

"No...you're welcome." She didn't dare look me in the eye, she said softly and ran back to the queue.

"Okay, get ready to follow me to the cafeteria for lunch."

……

After a quiet and quick lunch, we had two hours of rest. After all, the sun from 12 to 2 o'clock in the dog days of summer is too horrible, and training at this time will definitely fail.

In the dormitory, I was staring at Bai Xilu's hair with my hairband in my hand.

What should I do? I don’t know how.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that I didn't move for a long time, Bai Xilu turned her head and looked at me.

My face turned red, "Well, not very likely."

As soon as I said this, the other two girls gave me strange looks.

"So there are things you don't know." Song Yannan is a slightly plump girl. She climbed on the bed and looked at me curiously.

Huang Yingying was even more direct: "I was saying that I haven't seen you tie your hair in the summer for the past few months. It turns out you don't know how to do it."

"This is too weird. Girls don't know how to tie their hair. This is the first time I've seen it." Song Yannan covered her mouth and laughed.

They said they had no ill intentions, they just thought it was amazing, so I didn't say anything polite and asked, "Hey, do you see it now?"

"Let me teach you~" Bai Xilu said weakly.

"it is good."

"For a ponytail, you first need to have a certain angle. Smooth your hair with your hands and hold it. Then, put the hair tie through it like this. Then tie it a few times like this..."

It's more like she did it for me to watch than to say that she taught me. I watched her quickly thread a few rounds of hair tie through the ponytail, and her hair was tied up tightly.

"Do you understand?"

"Well, no." I shook my head. It turned out that I was not very good at this.

"Pfft~" Bai Xilu laughed. It was the first time I saw this little girl laugh. To be honest, she was quite pretty.

"The instructor is here! Pay attention to your attire."

I heard shouting outside the door. Seeing that everyone was dressed neatly, I walked up and opened the door.

Instructor Fang walked in and said, "I will now teach you how to fold your quilts. I will only teach each dormitory once. Remember this, I will come to check again after dinner!"

……

Let me see how many people are reading the novel!! It seems like no one is reading it!!

Chapter 3 Military Training ()

Folding quilts, tofu quilts. It should be considered a traditional skill of our soldiers.

"The key to folding a quilt is to make sure that the edges that you pre-trimmed by hand are flat and proper after the quilt is flattened. First, we lay the quilt flat." Instructor Fang said, holding the quilt of Song Yannan, who was closest to him, "First, fold one-third of the quilt in parallel and press it firmly."

"Then, fold the other side over and press it firmly. Pay attention to trimming the edges." Instructor Fang said as he did it. "At one end, about 40 centimeters, use your thumb and index and middle fingers to press out the lines of the quilt, which is the width of a fist, like this."

A bump was squeezed out on the quilt, like a speed bump on the road.

"Hold this end up with your hands and fold it over. The overall shape of this side is now complete."
