Chapter 8

This won't do! This won't do!

The above is Wu Xiang's inner cry after five days of military training, but this cry has little to do with the training itself; it mainly has to do with classmate Huang Yi.

Why say that? The reason is simple: Wu Xiang saw his ideal of a graceful and light-footed girl, Huang Yi, who can eat, and not just a little, but a lot!

Not only can she eat three steamed buns in one meal, but she also shovels the food on the table with great enthusiasm. What's more, Huang Yi even secretly hides steamed buns in her pockets. Just now, Wu Xiang saw it clearly!

Wu Xiang didn't want to stare at a female classmate all the time, but he couldn't help it. A beautiful girl who can eat so much has long become a beautiful sight in the military canteen.

Wu Xiang knew very well that the food in the military canteen wasn't very tasty, which almost everyone agreed on. However, being not tasty doesn't mean it's not nutritious. The food might not be well-cooked, but it is nutritionally comprehensive and has enough calories to meet the high-intensity training needs of the military. However, if a girl eats like this, it would be disastrous.

Wu Xiang finally understood why Hai Qing's image had such a big difference before and after. He wanted to stop this. After a night of thinking, Wu Xiang came up with a plan.

First, Wu Xiang finished his meal as quickly as possible, then he waited for Huang Yi...

Right at this moment! Huang Yi went to wash her bowl, and Wu Xiang immediately followed.

"Big sister, can you wait a moment? I just want to say a few words."

Huang Yi, seeing the tall, thin guy coming over, instinctively tried to avoid him, but Wu Xiang stubbornly stuck to her.

There were quite a few people around, and Huang Yi wasn't someone to be easily bullied. She glared at him, "What do you want?"

Wu Xiang noticed that Huang Yi's accent was quite heavy, which was very different from the female voices he often heard in Northeast China. It was quite fresh. However, Wu Xiang had a serious matter to discuss. He smiled and said, "Big sister, I saw you hiding steamed buns just now."

"You?" Huang Yi was about to get angry, but Wu Xiang's next words immediately calmed her down.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to report you. I understand your situation. I'm also hungry at night, but we can't keep eating like this. If you keep eating like this, your body will start to expand horizontally." Wu Xiang spoke with deep concern.

"None of your business!" Huang Yi wasn't grateful, but her face turned slightly red.

To be honest, Huang Yi felt extremely embarrassed right now. She wasn't too concerned about her figure, but the fact that she was caught hiding steamed buns by this tall, thin guy was really shameful. This tall, thin guy wasn't a good person, Huang Yi had already judged that early on.

Wu Xiang didn't know that he had a nickname in her mind, which was quite fitting. However, this wasn't the place to talk much, as there were too many people. So, Wu Xiang quickly whispered, "Huang Yi, after dinner today, I'll be waiting for you in the small forest behind the mountain. I brought some things. Just call me when you get there. By the way, my name is Wu Xiang."

After saying that, Wu Xiang left, leaving Huang Yi with a puzzled look.

"What kind of things are so mysterious? And the small forest behind the mountain? This..." Huang Yi's mind was working, but for some reason, the more she thought about it, the redder her face became.

What were those things?

Actually, there was nothing special. It wasn't a rose or a love letter, just some food: fresh milk, whole wheat bread, and a few cucumbers. These things were hard to get in the military camp, except for the cucumbers, which were a bit easier.

Of course, Wu Xiang had no evil intentions at all. He just wanted Huang Yi to maintain her figure. So, the cucumbers were really for eating.

Wu Xiang's intentions were purely good. He just wanted his future leading actress to be more beautiful. Besides, his movie project was still in the early stages, and finding a classmate would save money. Besides, how could he bear to see such a beautiful girl turn into a carnivorous dinosaur?

These things weren't easy to get. Wu Xiang haggled with the convenience store owner for a long time. The owner was really bad, raising the price. A cucumber cost Wu Xiang one yuan. This was 1997, and he knew the price of vegetables!

After dinner, Wu Xiang sneaked out. These things were hard to hide, especially the fresh milk, which was pasteurized and bottled. Wu Xiang, who was interested in nutrition, knew that this kind of milk was good. The convenience store had specially stocked it and kept it in the fridge, so the high price was justified.

"Xiangzi, where are you going?"

He ran into an acquaintance, Lin Jidong.

"I'm just taking a walk, breathing some fresh air. Why aren't you playing basketball with them?" Wu Xiang couldn't tell the truth.

"I'm on my way there. Why aren't you playing? With your height, it would be too..."

Wu Xiang couldn't play basketball. He boasted, "My skills are too good, I'd be too much for them, hehehe..."

"You're just bragging!"

Wu Xiang managed to get away. Lin Jidong really couldn't stand such a boastful guy. Fortunately, Wu Xiang's thin and tall figure and loose clothes made it hard for others to notice what he was hiding.

Finally, Wu Xiang brought his things to the small forest. He found a relatively secluded spot and sat down, waiting for the girl to arrive.

"I never thought that Teacher Hai was so beautiful when she was young. Okay, even after ten years, she wasn't ugly, just not as slim. If this works out, and Huang Yi maintains her figure, she'll be so grateful to me, hehe. When we shoot 'The First Time,' it will be amazing... hehe. It's a low-budget film, and with an online marketing base, we won't have to spend much on the lead actress. This is really... hehe..." Wu Xiang was very happy, imagining a bright future ahead of him...

But would Huang Yi come?

"Huang Yi, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, nothing..."

"Don't sneak eat steamed buns at night. I thought it was a little mouse, hehehe..."

"Oh, if a mouse comes, I'll help you get rid of it!" She was embarrassed.

"Hehehe..."

Huang Yi laughed and joked with her classmates, but she was still hesitant. The conversation in the canteen was the first time a boy had ever asked her out!

"I won't go!" Huang Yi had made up her mind. Not for any other reason, just because that tall, thin guy had a lecherous look and always stared at her. She would be foolish to go to a small forest. However, his words didn't seem to have any evil intentions, and Huang Yi could sense that.

"I won't go!" Huang Yi was determined.

... "Who will be the male lead? I can't do it myself, my image is too different, hehe..." In the small forest, Wu Xiang was still imagining. A bright future seemed to be just around the corner. Thinking about it, he was so tired that he fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time...

"Wu Xiang?!"

"Huh? Who?"

When Wu Xiang opened his eyes again, he saw the bright light of a flashlight and the angry face of the instructor...
