Chapter 49, A Gentleman's Agreement!

Tang Chong had no idea what had happened to Li Teshu, nor did he know that Hu Ming had already changed Li Teshu's fate for life due to his intentions. After returning to the dormitory, he took a shower and then lay on the bed for a nap.

Liang Tao and Li Yu were also in low spirits. Li Yu didn't ask Tang Chong to borrow his computer to play games but instead climbed to the upper bunk to read a novel. Liang Tao, who usually liked to sing in the dormitory, was silent today.

Even the corridor outside seemed quieter than usual, with no one screaming or laughing loudly. It was as if everyone was immersed in a sad atmosphere.

No one could have imagined that the fiery-tempered man had such a significant impact on these boys.

Hu Ming pushed open the dormitory door and walked in, saying with a sly look, "Brothers, I have some earth-shattering good news for you. Come on, beg me. If you beg me, I'll tell you."

No one paid him any attention.

"What? Don't you believe me? I swear, this news is absolutely explosive. It will definitely make you feel it was worth it," Hu Ming continued to shout.

"Hey, boss, can you be quiet for a moment?" Liang Tao got up and shouted at him. "Even if you're not sad about Instructor Li's departure, can't you understand our feelings?"

"Hehe, what's there to be sad about for a man? Women are our goal. Do you know who I met on my way back? Guess who."

No one bothered to guess.

"Forget it. If I don't tell you, you'll never guess in a lifetime," Hu Ming sang a solo. "Su Shan. Hehe, the goddess Su Shan. I actually met her. Oh, she's so beautiful. Much prettier than the girl on the admission letter. The one on the letter is static, ugh, I'm the one who's dead."

"The static image can't capture her charm. We passed each other in the bustling crowd, and our eyes met with deep emotion. I felt my soul leave my body. I lost my physical form and only had a spiritual world. I was surrounded by a sea of flowers, fields of rapeseed flowers. We held hands and ran through the rapeseed flowers."

Hu Ming looked intoxicated, his face upturned, and said, "At that moment, I felt a sense of inferiority. She is so beautiful, so elegant, so pure. Apart from being good-looking, I couldn't find any other qualities to match her. She is the most beautiful flower in the world. I am just a thick green leaf."

Liang Tao jumped off the bed, his eyes shining, and asked, "Is it true?"

"It's true," Hu Ming nodded seriously.

"Where did you meet her?" Liang Tao looked at him eagerly.

"At the water room door."

Whoosh

A gust of wind, and Liang Tao's figure had already disappeared.

"I haven't finished yet," Hu Ming shouted at the stairwell. "There was a man with her."

Unfortunately, Liang Tao couldn't hear him.

Hu Ming pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "This guy, it's obvious he's a rookie. He has no experience in conquering a goddess-level boss. For a woman like Su Shan, the more you chase her, praise her, and flatter her, the less likely you are to succeed. If you have the courage to slap her, she might really fall in love with you."

"Did you slap her?" Tang Chong asked.

"I did," Hu Ming said with an embarrassed smile.

"How did it go?" Tang Chong squinted and laughed. He thought, that woman is really a troublemaker. Every man who meets her can't forget her. Why is such a woman even studying? She should just become a big star and act in movies.

"It went well. I became clear-headed," Hu Ming gently touched his face and said, "It really hurt."

Tang Chong was speechless. It turned out this guy slapped his own face.

"Did you really see her?" Tang Chong propped a pillow under his neck and asked with interest.

"Of course," Hu Ming said proudly. "At the water room we often go to. She was wearing a white dress, and her hair was tied up with a purple hairband. A bunch of flower chasers were following her. I followed her for a few dozen meters but felt it was too embarrassing, so I came back."

He paused and added, "Liang Tao is a fool. Even if he went, he wouldn't have a chance. Su Shan has a handsome guy with her, not much worse than me."

"Following a handsome guy? Was it the same person you met before?" Tang Chong thought. "I wonder what their relationship is."

"Let him die with his eyes open," Tang Chong said with a smile.

"Exactly. It's good for him to be discouraged. So he won't keep thinking about it," Hu Ming nodded. "In our dormitory, only I have a chance."

"I think so too," Tang Chong said.

Hearing Tang Chong's praise, Hu Ming grinned widely.

He took out a cutting board and a knife from the bookshelf and started cutting vegetables for his rabbit, Xiao Gua.

Tang Chong watched him with a satisfied look and thought, this guy really knows how to enjoy himself.

"Boss, are you sure you saw Su Shan at the water room door?" Liang Tao asked, unwilling to give up.

"Yes," Hu Ming answered impatiently. "How many times do you need to ask to believe it?"

"Then why didn't I see her when I went? I looked everywhere but couldn't find her," Liang Tao said regretfully.

"Meeting a goddess requires fate. Sir, you don't have enough fate. Keep practicing," Hu Ming laughed.

"Bullshit fate. After the military training ends, I'll go to the entrance of the International Finance Department's teaching building and wait. I don't believe I won't see her," Liang Tao said through gritted teeth.

Tang Chong was startled and asked, "Liang Tao, what did you say? Su Shan is in the International Finance Department?"

"Yes," Liang Tao nodded. "Didn't you know?"

"What year is she in now?" Tang Chong asked.

"Fourth year," Liang Tao said. "It's her last year. She will graduate next year. We need to act quickly."

Then he looked at Tang Chong with a strange expression and said, "Why do I feel like you're very excited?"

"He's just excited for nothing," Hu Ming said bluntly. "How can a nobody get a goddess? Only I, the ace nobody, have a chance."

Tang Chong smiled and said, "I was just asking."

"Ah," Liang Tao sighed. "It seems you're also interested in Su Shan. We have two competitors in our dormitory. How many more are there in the entire Nan University? There are so many excellent men. I don't have a chance. Neither do you."

"Hey, Third, you can't boost their morale and undermine our own," Tang Chong said. "Just because you and Second don't have a chance doesn't mean I don't."

"You have the least chance," Liang Tao countered.

"I'll bet you," Hu Ming said, sticking out his neck.

"On what?"

"If I can't get Su Shan—"

"What will happen if you can't?"

"I'll stew and eat my rabbit," Hu Ming said with a grim face.

"Fine. If you get her, I'll eat your rabbit raw with the fur," Liang Tao said, looking ferocious.

Just like children think they can grow as tall as a tree, young people often make unrealistic bets.

At that time, they still enjoyed the pleasure of fantasy.

When the four of them ran to the basketball court, many boys from Class One had already gathered there.

"Is Instructor Li really gone? Who will replace him?"

"Will the new instructor be even stricter than Instructor Li?"

"He shouldn't be stricter than Instructor Li, but I still like Instructor Li."

Everyone was discussing, and when they saw Tang Chong, they all gathered around to ask him about the situation.

Even though Tang Chong himself didn't know the answer, they still liked to talk to him.

Lu Yifei didn't appear; he and the other two boys who had fainted from heatstroke were still resting.

At three o'clock, the boys of Class One spontaneously formed a square in the middle of the court.

Due to Instructor Li Teshu's strict requirements, they had developed the good habit of being punctual.

"Here comes the instructor," someone shouted.

At the entrance to the basketball court, several men in military uniforms walked in.

"Hey, Instructor Li Teshu is among them," someone shouted in surprise.

"Is he coming to say goodbye again?" someone worried.

When Instructor Li Teshu stood in front of the Class One formation, everyone looked puzzled. Only one person in the class knew what was going on.

"Attention," Li Teshu shouted loudly.

Whoosh

Everyone straightened up, their spirits lifted.

"Align to the right," Li Teshu continued to give orders. "Quick, quick."

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh

Everyone moved, aligning to the right.

"At ease," Instructor Li Teshu said. He looked at everyone seriously and said, "Are you disappointed? You finally got rid of that plague, and he's back?"

"Instructor, we didn't think that way."

"Exactly. We've been thinking about you. We even wanted to see you off."

"Instructor, you're back. Are you staying this time?"

Seeing everyone's sincere expressions, Li Teshu smiled.

"I was just joking with you," Li Teshu said in a gentle voice. "I believe in my soldiers, just as I believe in myself. I know you're not the kind of people I thought you were. I also know I'm not that bad a person."

"Right. This time, I'm back to stay. Until the end of the military training, until the performance. I'll take you to the last day of the training, and I'll leave with the other instructors. You asked me to smile more, and I promised. But can you also promise me something?"

"What is it?" everyone asked.

"I want to be the best in the military drill," Li Teshu shouted loudly. "You, bring back the first place for me."

"Deal," the boys shouted, laughing.

This was a gentleman's agreement.

No need for pen and ink, just remember it in your heart.
