The morning training let the new students feel the school’s deep love for them. Many people almost fainted from the morning run; most of them were carried to temporary medical care because of hypoglycemia.
Breakfast will be arranged only after the morning training.
The military training base is nothing like the gathering of the Alliance’s gourmet food in the campus canteen. Forget about items like egg pancakes1雞蛋煎餅 (jīdàn jiānbing): Egg pancakes. 
, rice balls2飯團 (fàn tuán): Rice balls. 
, baked bread3香濃的烤麵包 (xiāng nóng de kǎo miànbāo): Baked bread. 
, and pollution-free farm milk produced exclusively on a certain planet; none of those exist here. All they can eat now is plain rice congee4白粥 (báizhōu): Plain rice congee. 
, boiled eggs, mantou5饅頭 (mántou): Mantou. 
, steamed buns6包子 (bāozi): Steamed buns. 
, fried noodles7炒面 (chǎomiàn): Fried noodles. 
, and side dishes8小菜 (xiǎocài): Side dishes. 
. The portion for each person may vary, but these are the only options available. If they choose not to eat, then they won’t have anything to eat.
Compared to the other new students who were cursing at the steamed buns, Lin Zimao slept well last night and had a good appetite. One serving of plain rice congee, two steamed buns, one egg, and a small plate of side dishes are enough.
Neither Wang Yi nor Lin Zimao was picky, but Guo Xingwei and others sitting at the table next to them were very dissatisfied with the breakfast. Guo Xingwei even threw the chopsticks away, saying not eating it, it’s really fucking unpalatable.
Wang Yi whispered to Lin Zimao: “They are so wasteful.”
Although the third-class planet he was born in is quite rich in resources, his parents taught him from an early age not to waste food.
Lin Zimao picked up the egg and tapped it on the table, peeling off the shell little by little, eating the egg white first, then the egg yolk, and finally finished the rest of the congee to wash away the sticky feeling of the egg yolk in his mouth.
At the same table with them are several people in the same dormitory, the atmosphere is good, they are all from second-, third-, and fourth-class planets. The topics are similar, and there is not much prejudice.
After finishing the meal, Lin Zimao and the others prepared to leave.
Guo Xingwei and others who also didn’t eat got up to leave as well.
They all went to put away the dinner plates, when one of Lin Zimao’s roommates turned around. He accidentally bumped into Jiang Zhe, who was very angry. Jiang Zhe immediately grabbed him by the collar: “Four-eyed boy, don’t you have eyes?”
The classmate who was called four-eyed boy apologized again and again, saying that he didn’t do it on purpose. His attitude was very sincere.
But Jiang Zhe threw him hard. The four-eyed boy bumped into Lin Zimao, and the tableware in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter. The plate slammed and turned twice on the tiled floor.
Lin Zimao helped the four-eyed boy whose glasses were all crooked. The four-eyed boy was furious and angry, his eyes were red.
Lin Zimao put the tableware that fell on the ground into the automatic recycling machine, just when everyone thought that he would make concessions to avoid further trouble9息事寧人 (xī shì níng rén): to keep the peace; to patch up a quarrel (idiom); to end a dispute or conflict and calm the people down; patch up a quarrel and reconcile the parties concerned; mediate an end to a dispute; conciliate (between the two sides involved in a conflict); make concessions to avoid further trouble; Originally it meant that no accidents would occur and the people would not be harassed. Later, it meant mediating disputes, calming things down, and enabling people to get along., Lin Zimao suddenly grabbed Jiang Zhe by the collar: “Apologize.”
Jiang Zhe said contemptuously: “Who do you think you are? Let go.”
Lin Zimao confronted him face to face, his eyes slightly cold: “You bumped into me, apologize.”
Jiang Zhe glared at him: “What if I don’t?”
Lin Zimao placed his fist against his abdomen: “Then I’ll give you a punch.”
Jiang Zhe sneered: “Just you?” He disdained and wanted to wave Lin Zimao’s hand away, however, the other side remained firm and didn’t falter10巋然不動 (kuī rán bù dòng): steadfastly stand on one’s ground; remain firm; remain unmoved; standing erect and unshakable; to remain firm and not falter; Stand upright like a mountain, motionless.. Jiang Zhe tried to raise his knees to push him away, but Lin Zimao was more agile than him. He kicked him hard on the shin, and Jiang Zhe screamed in pain, “Fuck your uncle!”
Lin Zimao punched him in the stomach: “I advise you to keep your mouth clean.”
Jiang Zhe was in pain and wanted to fight back, but Lin Zimao threw Jiang Zhe, who was taller than him, away.
Seeing his brother being beaten, Guo Xingwei naturally couldn’t stand it anymore, there’s no reason why he shouldn’t help. It’s just the right opportunity to teach Lin Zimao a lesson. He wanted to kick Lin Zimao from behind, but Wang Yi had suffered from Guo Xingwei yesterday. Seeing that Guo Xingwei was shameless and wanted to attack from behind, he immediately knocked him away.
Wang Yi said: “Trash!”
Guo Xingwei was knocked, and was a little confused. When he found out it was Wang Yi, he immediately rushed up and shook his fist at him. Wang Yi was never afraid to fight!
Then somehow, all the students in Lin Zimao’s dormitory joined the melee, one after another, there were twelve people in the two dormitories, so the cafeteria suddenly became chaotic.
They are all new students, so it’s unknown which class they are in. Someone called Director Liang who was having breakfast upstairs.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone was invited into the office and faced with a dark-faced Dean of Academic Affairs.
The mecha maintenance class two of 2020 set a new record in history. The first day of military training has not officially started, but a group fight began first.
The twelve people who were still domineering11盛氣凌人 (shèng qì líng rén): to be arrogant and overbearing and bully others; Overwhelm people with arrogance; Describes arrogant and arrogant, powerful momentum. just now are very frustrated. They were carried into the office by the seniors of the student council, and they were watched the whole time. It was very embarrassing.
Director Liang is angry, but he is not a quick-tempered person. He lectured them all very seriously and quoted the classics12引經據典 (yǐn jīng jù diǎn): lit. to quote the classics; to quote chapter and verse (idiom); to quote the classical texts; give quotations from the classics., making Lin Zimao drowsy.

Half an hour later…
Director Liang: “This time you are first-time offenders All of you need to run laps. Ten laps, and no one can fall behind. In the evening, everyone will write a thousand word letter of self-criticism for me and hand it in! Also, points will be deducted from your class!”
Everyone’s faces were slightly stiff when they heard they had to run: “…” If they had known, they wouldn’t have fought.
The runway of the training base is not calculated according to four hundred meters, it’s calculated according to eight hundred meters!
They had finished three laps in the morning and were about to die. They still have to run now. Ten laps is eight thousand meters!
Now it is the verification of the saying that fighting is a moment of pleasure, and a funeral afterwards.
Twelve people were walking sparsely towards the school yards.
All of them were covered with colors. Although Lin Zimao avoided Guo Xingwei’s kick, in the scuffle, he still got punched by someone at the corner of his mouth. The most miserable ones are Jiang Zhe and Guo Xingwei. These two people were taken care of by Lin Zimao and Wang Yi; they were in great pain, and their running postures were not right, staggering from side to side.
Teacher Yu had been ordered by Director Liang to wait for them in the school yards, but he was still very kind: “Students, go run.”
According to the rules of military training, fighting and brawling will certainly deduct class points.
During the military training period, each class will have corresponding plus and minus points. Bonus points can be obtained through training, internal affairs and other military training items, while deduction points are the daily performance of new students in each class. All behaviors that do not abide by military training discipline will deduct class points.
This is only the first morning of military training, and their class made a mistake. Teacher Yu still has a headache while smiling.
A man must bear the consequences of his own acts13一人做事一人當 (yī rén zuò shì yī rén dāng): one should answer for what he does himself; a man must bear the consequences of his own acts.. Lin Zimao ran onto the runway first, without complaining or procrastinating. At this moment, the corner of his mouth was aching, and he tasted the smell of blood, the skin should be broken.
Wang Yi followed closely behind Lin Zimao, followed by eleven people. One-third of a class is here.
After Jiang Xuan received a call from the counselor, he brought He Ling to the edge of the school yard and stood there.
After asking, they found out that these twelve new students were fighting in the cafeteria. The incident was quite big, and they were being punished by Director Liang.
Teacher Yu told them: “You watch here, if anyone falls down, let them rest. Don’t make trouble, they are all squeamish children. The director said ten laps, but they probably won’t be able to complete the run. It’s very hot today, so don’t run and get heatstroke.”
Jiang Xuan vaguely saw Lin Zimao’s figure. He didn’t expect to see that Lin Zimao, who is obedient and clever, would actually fight.
The sun’s temperature began to rise, and the twelve people who were punished were sweating all over and out of breath.
Soon after, one by one, they collapsed on the runway, unable to run anymore. Only a few fighters remained, and Lin Zimao still led the race.
Teacher Yu waited for the director’s anger to subside and applied for them to run only for five laps.
Wang Yi, who had been following him, had already fallen down somewhere.
Lin Zimao fell on the lawn, he raised his hand to block the increasingly fierce sun, closed his eyes, smelled the faint scent of green grass, and didn’t want to get up.
It wasn’t until he was covered by a shadow that he moved his arm over his eyes, and opened his closed eyes.
He has seen Jiang Xuan while standing, and also seen Jiang Xuan while sitting, but he has never seen Jiang Xuan while lying down. Looking at him obliquely from below, he doesn’t seem to think he is ugly. Sure enough, he is a school grass, with no dead angle at 360 degrees. Maybe he looks just as good looking upside down.
Jiang Xuan extended his hand towards him: “Get up.”
“Oh.” Lin Zimao raised his hand in vain. He had no strength left after running.
Jiang Xuan held his cool right hand and pulled him up without much effort. Lin Zimao is quite thin and very light.
Lin Zimao was busy running just now, and he didn’t notice that some classes around him were queuing up for training. There were more and more people in the school yard. Of course, the story of their fight has already been spread.
Jiang Xuan walked in front. Lin Zimao followed behind him with weak legs. He walked slowly, so Jiang Xuan quickly moved away from him. However when he realized that the other party hadn’t followed, he slowed down and didn’t rush Lin Zimao.
Lin Zimao was sure that Jiang Xuan didn’t lead him to go back to training. He didn’t even ask him where he took him.

Temporary Health Care Sites.
Wang Yi was lying crookedly on a hospital bed. The female doctor applied medicine to him, and then turned on the bruising massage machine. The pressure made him scream out with gritted teeth for a long time. While Guo Xingwei, Jiang Zhe and the others were in the cubicle, there were also strange screams.
The female doctor was first surprised by Jiang Xuan’s countenance of flowers, appearance of the moon14花容月貌 (huā róng yuè mào): lit. countenance of a flower, face like the moon (idiom); fig. (of a woman) beautiful, attractive, gorgeous., and then saw Lin Zimao following behind him: “There’s still another one. Where are you hurt?”
Lin Zimao wanted to talk about the corner of his mouth, but it hurt when he opened his mouth, he pointed to the corner of his mouth.
The female doctor pinched his chin and took a look: “It’s not very serious, the skin on the corner of the mouth is broken. Just put some ointment on it for disinfection.”
She turned to Jiang Xuan and said, “This student, can you help to give him a wipe? I’m a bit busy. There are two people in the next room shouting that they are in pain all over. I’ll go over and adjust the treatment equipment for them, you just sterilize him and give him medicine.”
While talking, the female doctor found medicine, ointment, and cotton swabs and handed them to Jiang Xuan, and then she went to the next door.
Wang Yi was crying out in pain and had no extra mouth to ask about Lin Zimao’s situation.
Lin Zimao sat down on a chair as soon as he entered, he was so tired that he didn’t even want to move a finger.
Holding the medicine and ointment given by the doctor in his hand, Jiang Xuan sat down opposite Lin Zimao.
He unscrewed the medicine bottle, carefully took out the medical cotton swab, and dipped some anti-inflammatory liquid on the corner of Lin Zimao’s broken mouth. The anti-inflammatory liquid is a bit irritating. Lin Zimao tilted his head back slightly, and called softly: “Painful.”
Originally, the cold didn’t heal completely. As soon as Lin Zimao opened his mouth, he was soft, acting like a spoiled child. Jiang Xuan’s hand holding the cotton swab paused for a moment, then he dabbed some salve and touched his wound lightly. Seeing Lin Zimao frowning his delicate eyebrows in pain, he threw it away.
Jiang Xuan looked at him after throwing it away and said: “Why didn’t you think about pain when fighting?”
He’s only known him for two days, and he is taking medicine and applying medicine. Lin Zimao really made people worry.
He changed a cotton swab, avoided the corners of Lin Zimao’s damaged mouth, and gently applied the ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
The ointment is ice cold, very comfortable and not painful.
Lin Zimao stared at Jiang Xuan’s slender fingers, his nails are not long, they are cut flat, and his fingers are really long, he heard that people with long fingers are suitable for playing the piano, and then he thought of the dirty words he heard in the tavern, people with long fingers seem to be very long in that area.
While he indulged in flights of fancy15胡思亂想 (hú sī luàn xiǎng): to indulge in flights of fancy (idiom); to let one’s imagination run wild; to daydream; to give way to foolish fancies; to go off into flights of fancy., Jiang Xuan finished giving medicine to Lin Zimao.
It’s the first time he’s been this close, Jiang Xuan found that Lin Zimao’s eyelashes were quite long, blinking like a fan, his eyes were not small, and he was staring straight at himself.
Lin Zimao thought that Jiang Xuan wanted to draw a clear line with himself, so he snorted softly and said: “I’m not familiar with the Senior, so leave me alone.”
Jiang Xuan glanced at him, threw away the cotton swab with ointment in his hand, put the lid on the disinfectant and ointment, and said nothing.
It was unknown when Wang Yi stopped grunting, when he turn his head, he saw Jiang Xuan leaving without saying a word.
Just as he was about to talk to Lin Zimao, he saw Jiang Xuan turn back, coldly and say to Lin Zimao: “Remember to apply medicine, three times a day.”
Lin Zimao pressed the slightly raised corner of his mouth.
Hiss, it hurts.
The author has something to say:
Lin Zimao: Just pain.
