The senior sisters arrived in front of the military training group, smiling as they handed out drinks and watermelon.
Due to their shyness, the freshmen were eager to accept but hesitated to take anything, only daring to admire the offerings from a distance.
The instructor, however, didn't stop them and seemed quite entertained.
This wasn't unique to Jinling University of Finance and Economics, it was the same in every school.
Every year, when it's time for freshman military training, senior students come with drinks and watermelon to tempt the new recruits.
After teasing the freshmen for a while, the senior sisters turned their attention to Lin Xian.
Five senior sisters surrounded him, sizing him up while teasing him.
"Hehe, junior, are you hot?"
"Junior, you're sweating a lot. Do you want me to wipe it for you?"
"I specially bought this watermelon for you, junior. Come on, have a bite!"
…
Looking at the juicy, red watermelon in front of him, Lin Xian wasn't bothered by their teasing. He took a big bite.
For a moment, everyone froze.
Wang Zejing raised an eyebrow and exclaimed, "Damn, impressive!"
The senior sisters were also stunned. They just wanted to tease Lin Xian and see him get embarrassed.
They never expected him to actually take a bite.
Lin Xian quickly finished the watermelon in a few bites, smacking his lips.
To be honest, the watermelon was really sweet, and it seemed like it had just been taken out of the fridge—cold, sweet, and refreshing.
At that moment, the instructor quickly walked over and smiled, "Is the watermelon good?"
Lin Xian answered, "Delicious!"
"But, eating watermelon comes with a price!"
The instructor's tone changed, turning serious. "Now, get down and do one hundred push-ups. You can get up only when you're done!"
"Yes, sir!"
Normally, under this kind of weather, doing a hundred push-ups would be difficult for Lin Xian.
But now? It was easy!
To be honest, at this moment, Lin Xian was kind of grateful to Yan Jianhua.
If it weren't for his urging, he would have made a fool of himself today.
Without saying anything, Lin Xian immediately lay down and started doing push-ups.
The instructor scanned the crowd, loudly asking, "Who else wants some watermelon?"
Everyone went dead silent.
A bite of watermelon and a hundred push-ups as the price? They couldn't bear it, and all of them cast sympathetic looks at Lin Xian.
Wang Zejing had initially been worried about Lin Xian, but soon he realized he was wrong.
20…
40…
60…
In just a short time, Lin Xian had already done 60 push-ups. And from the looks of it, he seemed to be doing just fine.
Of course, it wasn't exactly easy. Lin Xian just appeared calm and composed.
Soon, all eyes were on him, and many people silently counted along in their heads.
After finishing the hundred push-ups, Lin Xian stood up, panting. "Instructor, I've finished the hundred push-ups!"
The instructor nodded, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and shouted, "Good! Return to your positions!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Xian said this and quickly returned to his spot in the crowd.
Seeing this, Wang Zejing was stunned.
Damn!
What do I do now that you're done?
When Lin Xian was around, things were easier; at least he had someone to share the pressure with.
But now that Lin Xian was gone, Wang Zejing felt the pressure mount. With everyone's gaze on him, he felt uncomfortable all over.
The senior sisters, seeing there was no more fun to be had, soon left.
The only benefit from this watermelon incident was that all the freshmen in the finance department remembered Lin Xian.
After standing at attention for another ten minutes, the instructor finally spoke. "Dismissed, take a 15-minute break!"
At those words, everyone immediately sighed in relief and rushed to find some shade.
More freshmen headed to the campus supermarket.
Wang Zejing plopped down on the ground, panting like a salted fish.
Lin Xian, seeing this, teased, "I did the push-ups, so why do you look like a dead dog?"
"I really can't do it anymore!"
Wang Zejing said weakly, sitting there motionless like a withdrawn child.
At that moment, Lei Hongguang walked over, carrying a bag of drinks. "Take your pick, and help yourselves!"
Lin Xian grabbed a bottle of sour plum juice, twisted the cap, and took small sips.
The taste wasn't particularly great, but it was incredibly refreshing and thirst-quenching. After being chilled, it felt great to drink.
The other drinks were tasty, but they made him thirstier the more he drank.
While sipping the sour plum juice, Lin Xian suddenly noticed a girl standing in front of him.
She wasn't very tall, maybe around 1.5 meters, with a petite frame. Her military training uniform looked especially large on her, making her appear a bit clumsy.
Her features were very delicate, like a doll, especially her large eyes, clear and bright, like pure gems.
Even Lin Xian couldn't help but be stunned.
To be honest, in terms of looks, this girl was the most beautiful one he had seen so far, even surpassing Yan Xiaoman and An Ran.
Her cheeks had a slight baby fat, which not only didn't ruin her beauty but added a touch of innocence and cuteness to her appearance.
She was holding a cup of watermelon juice, and it was unclear whether it was because she was nervous or due to the heat, but her face was flushed.
The surrounding students also noticed the scene and started whispering, casting teasing glances.
The girl, noticing their gazes, became even more embarrassed, her face turning redder.
"You…"
Seeing her awkwardness, Lin Xian smiled slightly and said softly, "Is this for me to drink?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Hearing this, the girl let out a relieved sigh, then shoved the watermelon juice into Lin Xian's arms before turning and running away.
"Hey, am I that terrifying?"
Lin Xian looked at the watermelon juice in his arms, then glanced at the girl's retreating figure, somewhat speechless.
Once the girl was gone, Wang Zejing and the others immediately surrounded Lin Xian.
Wang Zejing, envious, said, "Lin Xian, you're awesome. It's only the first day, and already a girl gave you water."
"Lin Xian, teach me. How do I get girls to notice me?" Lei Hongguang asked, his face full of longing and admiration.
Lin Xian patted his shoulder and said seriously, "Hongguang, it's not that Lin Xian doesn't want to teach you, it's just that this thing is something you're born with."
"The girl just now was pretty, but she was too short. She looked like a child," Wang Zejing commented, stroking his chin.
Zhang Kai, however, said earnestly, "No way. I think she's great. She kind of resembles the King in FATE."
"What's FATE?" Wang Zejing asked, confused.
"The Holy Grail War. You don't know about this?" Zhang Kai gave him a look as if he were an idiot.
"I really don't get you guys in the second dimension."
