Chapter 564: The Big Boss Wants to Keep a Low Profile on Her First Day of School
When she saw Qin Yaozhi’s message, she tilted her body toward Lu Chengzhou and asked, “My university’s military training will be held at Red Scorpion?”
Lu Chengzhou, who was sitting next to her, hummed an acknowledgment in response as his slender fingers ran through her jet-black hair.
“Is this your doing?” With an eyebrow raised, she dangled her phone in front of him but received no response from him. Seconds later, she received another message from the Qin Yaozhi, which read, [Brother Cheng is the chief instructor.]
Qin Yaozhi had also just found out about it. She had been plotting how to get her grandfather’s consent for a waiver in order to skip military training, but when she finally came up with a brilliant plan, she was informed that Red Scorpion was responsible for the military training this time and that the chief instructor was Lu Chengzhou. Her family then told her that her attendance was compulsory, so she had to make her way to the training base no matter what.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, she heaved a heavy sigh and typed rather hopelessly, [The Special Operations Battalion Reserve used to be responsible for our school’s military training. It suddenly became Red Scorpion’s responsibility, however. Everyone is speculating that Red Scorpion is intending to recruit our students for training, but let’s be honest here, Brother Cheng’s doing this because of you, right?]
Gu Mang narrowed her eyes slightly at the stone-faced man who was currently blow-drying her hair, and clicked her tongue. “Tsk.”
His lips lifted into a faint but arrogant smile as he brushed his fingers against her cheek.
…
First day of school.
Lu Chengzhou drove Gu Mang to school in a rather inconspicuous SUV. They arrived at the school pretty early, seeing that there were not many cars parked on the roadside.
After putting on a black mask and a duckbill cap, she pushed open the door and got out of the car. Lu Chengzhou also put on a mask and stepped out to retrieve her luggage from the trunk before pulling it over to her side.
The sun was shining bright, which somewhat irritated her. She pulled her cap down a little to block the sunlight. When she put her hand back down, though, her boyfriend took the chance to hold her hand.
Past the grandiose school gates was the square with an inflatable arch over the entrance with the words “Welcome Avenue” on it. Further inside was lined with various faculties’ freshmen reception booths on both sides. Their banners all had the faculty’s iconic yet eye-catching emblem.
With one hand in her pocket and her eyes narrowed, Gu Mang soon found the medical school’s reception area, which had a brilliant red emblem. She turned back to her fiancé, then told him, “Wait here.”
The man nodded and handed her the black backpack, which she slung over a shoulder before pivoting on her feet and heading straight to the reception booth.
Lu Chengzhou, in a black shirt with its long sleeves rolled up a couple of times to reveal his forearms, remained standing at the curb of Welcome Avenue. He had an arm rested on the luggage handle as he watched Gu Mang walk away.
There were not many freshmen registering at the reception area at this time, but she captured almost everyone’s attention when she walked past them. Despite the mask over her face, her tall and lissom figure was enough to attract attention.
Only a handful of people could be found at the medical school’s reception booth. When she entered the tent, the seniors stood up and welcomed her enthusiastically, “Hi there, are you a freshman medical student?”
She uttered a cool but soft assent in reply.
“Come, let’s do your registration first.” A male senior eagerly handed her a pen, which she took from him.
“Thank you,” she said.
The female seniors, on the other hand, were staring at her curiously as they wondered how this tall girl looked without her mask on. She was dressed in a white shirt, and its long sleeves were rolled up messily to reveal her fair and thin arms. Although they could not see her face, they could tell that she was good-looking.
