My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 105: The Pursuit

However, the scholarship hadn’t been granted yet, so the only money she had available was five thousand yuan.

When the scholarship was granted, there would be other uses for it.

But if she wanted to engage in short-term investments, military training would definitely be inconvenient to manage.

So Lu Youxi planned to wait until after the military training was over.

For the time being, she would learn more about various aspects of information.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the military training arrived.

Lu Youxi was the first to get ready, dressed in the uniform of the training.

Lu Xiaohui, Xia Jinqiao, and Mo Yuchun were still applying sunscreen.

As she applied it, Lu Xiaohui asked Lu Youxi, "Is that all you’re doing?"

Lu Youxi looked down, puzzled by her own appearance, which seemed fine, "Yes, what else should I do?"

"Aren’t you going to apply sunscreen?" Lu Xiaohui asked.

Lu Youxi smiled, saying, "I’ve never used it; when I helped my parents with farm work at home, we didn’t care about that. At most, we wore a sun hat and had a towel around our necks to wipe sweat."

After finishing, Lu Xiaohui packed a bottle of sunscreen spray in her bag and went up to Lu Youxi, curiously lifting her arm, "You are so fair, and you say you work in the fields every day without sunscreen?"

"I’m not showing off, but you know my family’s situation, where would I get the extra money for that?" Lu Youxi laughed. "Even if I had it, my grandparents would never let me use it, they’d think having food to eat should be enough, anything more would be a waste."

"You’re so fair, it’s really infuriating." Lu Xiaohui took out a sunscreen spray from her bag, "Although you don’t tan, it doesn’t mean UV rays aren’t harmful. Here, let me spray some on you."

Lu Youxi did not fuss and refused the kind gesture; she stretched out her arm and obediently let Lu Xiaohui spray her.

The four then went to the training field together.

The instructor was a lean, dark young soldier who looked only a few years older than the freshmen.

But perhaps because of his solemnity, coupled with the military uniform, he was quite intimidating, and since it was their first day and they were unfamiliar with each other, no students dared to joke with the instructor lightly.

The instructor didn’t show mercy just because it was their first day of training, giving them no time to adapt.

Several girls were so tired and sunburned while standing at attention that they could barely hold on.

When the instructor finally called for a break, including the boys, most leaned on their waists, limping to the side of the field to rest under the shade of trees.

But Lu Youxi, used to hard work at home, looked as if nothing was bothering her.

Only her skin had turned somewhat red from the sun, and her face and neck were sweaty, sticking to a few strands of hair.

Lu Youxi and her three roommates found the tree under which they had left their bags earlier.

No one complained about the dirt, only wanting to sit down and rest quickly.

Lu Youxi took out a fan that was handed out at a brand event on the street a few days ago and began to use it.

"Oh, isn’t that Lin Jingshen?" Xia Jinqiao, while drinking water, spotted Lin Jingshen and hastily swallowed her water to say.

"I heard he’s the senior in charge of the freshmen for this military training," Lu Xiaohui, holding a handheld electric fan, was resting her elbow on her knees, blowing air at her neck.

Unfortunately, the weather was so hot that even the wind from the little fan felt warm.

"I think so, isn’t he the deputy head of the student council’s publicity department? Every year, the student council assigns some seniors to take care of freshmen." Another girl resting under a nearby tree chimed in.

Right now, Lu Youxi, other than roommates, wasn’t familiar with others, and couldn’t even recall most of their names.

But she had seen the schedule; there would be a campfire party tonight, allowing everyone to introduce themselves and get to know each other.

Lu Youxi heard many girls around her looking at Lin Jingshen and chirping about him.

Lu Youxi didn’t mind; she unscrewed her water bottle to drink.

She remembered that in her past life, Lin Jingshen had not been in charge of freshman training.

He had come to the school after the official start of the semester.

However, at that time, Lu Youxi had already drawn some attention among the freshmen due to her beauty.

But the two hadn’t truly gotten to know each other until a later school event, where Lu Youxi registered to handle some logistics tasks and met Lin Jingshen.

Lin Jingshen had already heard of Lu Youxi’s small fame among the freshmen and, upon meeting her, was struck by her attractiveness and began pursuing her.

At that time, Lu Youxi, having never felt warmth at home, suddenly experienced the unprecedented warmth from a gentle and handsome boy’s thorough care, and naturally fell for Lin Jingshen.

Later, when she learned of Lin Jingshen’s true nature, Lu Youxi realized that she had never actually liked Lin Jingshen; it was just the gentle facade he had created initially.

Considering Lu Youxi’s situation at that time, she would have mistaken anyone who provided her warmth for someone she liked.

But why had Lin Jingshen suddenly come early this life to lead the freshman team?

Lu Youxi furrowed her brows slightly, drank another gulp of water, and screwed the cap back on, returning it to her bag.

This cup was an insulated one given to her by Aunt Lin; very useful.

Inside was the cool water she had put, well-preserved in the insulated cup, offering a refreshing drink in the sweltering weather.

"Lin Jingshen is coming over!" someone whispered.

"Don’t just stare at him; there are several other seniors with him," another person joked.

Upon looking again, Lin Jingshen and a few others were pushing a small cart.

There were several boxes on the cart.

Judging by the packaging, it seemed to be bottled water.

Lin Jingshen first gave each of the three instructors in charge of their college’s freshman training a bottle of water, thanking them for their hard work.

Then he, along with other student council members, began distributing water to the students resting under the shade of the trees.

Lu Youxi accepted the water and simply said, "Thank you."

The water was chilled, and when she took it, her palm felt cool, a welcome comfort in the hot weather.

Lu Youxi held the water bottle against her cheeks and neck to cool down.

After all the water was distributed, Lin Jingshen brought over a portable folding stool for Lu Youxi, "Junior, sit on this."

Seeing Lu Youxi looking up, Lin Jingshen, normally very confident with the opposite gender, suddenly seemed nervous, "The ground is hot."

Lu Youxi chuckled. After chatting with Zhou Shuyan last night, she had lain awake in bed and thought it over.

Lin Jingshen didn’t know what had happened in their past life; he was repeating the same old pattern of being superficially attracted as he had in the past.

But under normal circumstances, even with other unfamiliar classmates, one shouldn’t be too cold, and even if not particularly liking someone, at least maintaining surface level courtesy should suffice.
