ARIWATM Chapter 009

How Come It's You

Because of the fight in the cafeteria, Lin Zimao and others only arrived at the designated place an hour after the training started, and what greeted them was rigorous training.

The fifteen-day military training is roughly divided into two parts, the first seven days are basic military posture training, and all new students in the school must participate, the next seven days are training and experience projects unique to Feige University, each department has its own different arrangements.

The new students is looking forward to the early passing of the first seven days, it is said that the project in the next seven days is really interesting.

But the more they look forward to it, the slower time passes, on the morning of the first day, many new students entered the temporary medical care area for various reasons.

Don’t know if running in the morning can make people feel refreshed, although Lin Zimao legs are a little weak, he still persisted in the morning.

When the bell rang at the end of the morning training, the instructor let them have a rest and eat.

Wang Yi was already starving, Guo Xingwei and others who fought with them also rushed into the cafeteria, they are hungrier than Wang Yi and others, they disliked the bad breakfast in the morning, so they train on an empty stomach all morning.

Lin Zimao followed them and went in.

The choice of lunch is not high, the amount can be increased, but the variety is pitiful.

Two meats, one vegetable, and one soup, for the new students who usually eat fine food, just looking at it, make them have no appetite at all.

Lin Zimao is not a picky eater, but the corner of his mouth is broken skin, and a little swollen, it hurts when he opens his mouth, he doesn’t want to eat anymore after stuffing a few mouthfuls of rice, but he usually finishes his food and will not waste it, so he can only chew it slowly.

He sat with his dormitory mates, they were all starving, and ate quickly, when Wang Yi and others finished eating, Lin Zimao still had a large portion of his plate left.

Lin Zimao said: “You guys go back first, my mouth hurts, I eat slowly.”

They were sweating all over in the morning, all wanted to go back to take a shower and take a nap, several students with higher student numbers went back to the dormitory first, and told him to eat slowly, leaving only Wang Yi to accompany Lin Zimao, the main reason is that he has to line up to take a shower when he goes back now.

Knowing that Lin Zimao didn’t talk much about planet Alpha, Wang Yi chatted with him about things he knew, such as Jiang Xuan from the Student Council.

Military training is only to train the new students’ physical fitness and perseverance, not to cut them off from the rest of the world1與世隔絕 (yǔ shì gé jué): to be cut off from the rest of the world (idiom); be sequestered and far removed from reality; be secluded from the real world; withdraw into one’s shell., they can still use the communicator to play games online.

Wang Yi asked him: “Did you go to our school’s forum?”

“Um?” Lin Zimao had a sore mouth and had to eat, it was very difficult, he could only utter a single syllable.

Wang Yi looked around and said: “It’s Senior Jiang Xuan, he was photographed while talking to his childhood friends last night and posted on the forum.”

Lin Zimao takes a sip of soup: “Then?”

Wang Yi took out his communicator and opened the forum posts he had seen, just as he was about to hand the communicator to Lin Zimao, he heard someone ask them.

“Junior, is there anyone sitting here?”

The person who came was Senior Sister He Ling who was in charge of their class, there are several people standing beside her, they should all belong to the student council, including Jiang Xuan.

A few people at their table left, enough for the senior brothers and sisters of the student council to sit down and eat.

When Wang Yi saw the beautiful senior, he immediately forgot what he was about to say, even pressed the screen of the communicator off.

He smiled enthusiastically: “No one, senior brothers and sisters, feel free to sit down.”

Jiang Xuan, He Ling and others sat down next to each other.

Lin Zimao was seated by the window, Jiang Xuan was sitting opposite him.

He Ling didn’t see Lin Zimao’s face last night, so she didn’t know that he was the new student who caught a cold, after they sat down, He Ling introduced the other two seniors to Wang Yi, and then began to eat.

Lin Zimao ate slowly, the food was already cold, feeling he had nothing left to live for, but when he opened his mouth a little bit, the corners of his mouth hurt badly, so he simply covered his mouth while eating, and finally ate more than half of it.

He Ling and the other two seniors had a lot of conversations, Jiang Xuan, who was sitting opposite Lin Zimao, also ate slowly, didn’t say a word, and ate seriously.

It wasn’t until Lin Zimao bit a sparerib and hissed that he looked up at him.

He Ling and the others naturally heard it too, but everyone chose not to mention the fight intentionally or otherwise2有意無意 (yǒu yì wú yì): intentionally or otherwise; seemingly unintentional but actually purposeful; wittingly or unwittingly; consciously or unconsciously; by accident or design., so they didn’t ask him about the corner of his mouth.

Lin Zimao finally finished his meal, Wang Yi also had a good chat with the seniors, he has a sunny personality, he can chat with anyone, very friendly.

Lin Zimao said to him: “I’m done eating, let’s go.”

The two of them told their seniors that they had to leave first.

After they left, Jiang Xuan put down his chopsticks, but instead of talking to Lin Zimao, he took out his communicator and typed in two words.

Lin Zimao put the tray into the automatic recycling machine, he felt the communicator in his trouser pocket vibrating, took it out and saw that it was sent to him by Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan:

[Apply ointment.]

Lin Zimao replied with one sentence:

[I know, it just pain.]

Jiang Xuan glanced down, then finished the rest of the meal.

The word ‘pain’ can generate many images, he couldn’t help but think of Lin Zimao’s soft voice crying out for pain when he applied the medicine in the morning, Jiang Xuan was close to him, his ears were not deaf, and his soft voice still echoed in his mind several times.

When Jiang Xuan and He Ling were about to leave the restaurant, they met Cheng Chen who was walking with a group of boys and girls.

Posts on the forum have long positioned them as a couple, Cheng Chen has been receiving envious eyes from everyone today.

Also a childhood sweetheart, also a boyfriend, how happy, mainly because the boyfriend is the unparalleled3獨一無二 (dú yī wú èr): it. only one, no second; unique and unmatched (idiom); unrivalled; nothing compares with it; unique; unparalleled; unmatched; singular. school grass!

Of course Cheng Chen didn’t explain to anyone that he wasn’t officially with Jiang Xuan yet, but it’s only a matter of time.

Now that he has met Jiang Xuan, of course he must show off his intimacy with him in front of people.

“Brother Jiang Xuan, have you finished eating?”

Jiang Xuan nodded, and left the cafeteria with He Ling and the others expressionlessly.

Cheng Chen, who thought he would get special treatment: “…”

He also heard some female students whispering about Jiang Xuan.

“Senior Jiang Xuan is so indifferent, under normal circumstances, shouldn’t he ask Cheng Chen why he hasn’t eaten so late?”

“That’s right, it’s not like the attitude a boyfriend in love should have at all.”

Cheng Chen’s face changed slightly, but a student next to him explained: “Don’t you know? I used to be in the same high school as Senior Jiang Xuan, he has always been so indifferent and doesn’t talk much, like a glacier that never melts for thousands of years. However, I don’t know if he treats others well, but I only saw him send umbrellas to Chenchen when in high school.”

There are reasons, evidence, witnesses and physical evidence, Cheng Chen felt much better now, in fact, he wanted to say that he and Jiang Xuan are not lovers at all, and there is no such thing.

The two girls stopped chatting too much, quickly changed the subject, saying that they were starving to death, and everyone should hurry to eat.

Cheng Chen has a calculation, and decided not to deal with these two girls in the future, talk too much.

Also, his confession plan should be advanced.

Jiang Xuan is on duty tomorrow night, he has to find a chance to confess his love to him and change their years of ambiguous relationship.

After returning to the dormitory, Lin Zimao took a shower to wash off the sticky feeling on his body.

Before taking a nap, he took medicine and applied the ointment again, suddenly he felt he was too delicate, it’s funny to think about it, before he was eighteen, he was not as delicate as he is now, also squeamish.

Sure enough, wealth can corrupt people.

Thinking about it, unconsciously he fell asleep.

The training base in the afternoon was very quiet, the new students who had been rambunctious last night were tortured all morning, half of their energy was lost, during training in the afternoon, they looked like a fish thrown ashore and out of the water, only have a faint breath of life left4奄奄一息 (yǎn yǎn yī xī): dying; at one’s last gasp; breathe one’s last breath; have only a faint breath of life left; one’s breath is thin as a thread; be on one’s last leg; be at one’s last gasp; be on the verge of death; be at the gate of death. in the sun.

The ultraviolet rays are too strong, the new students are all wearing long-sleeved training suits and keep their hats firmly, for fear of drying themselves out.

Because the sun is too strong, another two male students fell down in Lin Zimao’s class, and were escorted to the medical center by the counselor and Jiang Xuan.

When they returned, the two male students kept saying that Senior Jiang Xuan was too indifferent, didn’t say a word of comfort on the way.

Lin Zimao also didn’t apply sunscreen, his neck was red from the sun, after the afternoon training, his neck was itchy and sore.

Wang Yi asked him: “What are you scratching?”

Lin Zimao pointed to the back: “Take a look for me, is my neck sunburned?”

Wang Yi lifted Lin Zimao’s collar on the back of his neck: “It’s quite red from the sun, probably sunburned, didn’t you apply sunscreen?”

Lin Zimao said: “I didn’t bring it.” He has no military training experience, planet Alpha doesn’t have such strong ultraviolet rays.

Wang Yi: “You should’ve said earlier, I brought it, tomorrow you wipe mine.”

Lin Zimao looked at him doubtfully: “Yours is only thirty milliliters, is that enough for the two of us?”

Wang Yi hesitated, he is tall, there’s a large area to cover: “Why don’t you ask Senior Sister He Ling, they can go back to rest at night, ask her to bring us a bottle back.”

Lin Zimao thinks this can be done: “Okay, I’ll ask her later.”

On the first day of military training, there were many emergencies, He Ling sent a girl with dysmenorrhea5痛經 (tòng jīng): menstrual pain; dysmenorrhea. to the medical room an hour ago, and she hasn’t come back yet, Lin Zimao added her social account in the group.

The dinner was not very pleasant, the cold didn’t heal, the skin on the corner of the mouth did not heal, and now there is another symptom of sunburn, the consequence of being depressed is that Lin Zimao only ate half of the meal, he was able to finish his meal with Jiang Xuan’s face at noon, at this moment, the chattering Wang Yi was sitting opposite him, Lin Zimao focused on his chin, the acne on his chin not only didn’t get smaller, but the color also got darker, a bit ugly.

Lin Zimao could only swallow the last few mouthfuls of food, didn’t want to chew it slowly anymore, his mouth is tired.

Finishing afternoon training doesn’t mean that the new students are given free time to move around, now it’s time for them to replenish their energy, they have to gather to watch an hour-long war documentary at seven o’clock in the evening, it’s very boring to think about.

After Lin Zimao went back, he added He Ling’s social account, ask her if she could help him buy calming spray and sunscreen.

He Ling took a while to reply to him, saying that it was possible, Lin Zimao said that after buying it, he would send her the money, He Ling said there was no need to be polite, after all, Lin Zimao is also a good-looking junior, quiet and well-behaved, very likable.

After returning to the dormitory and taking a shower, Lin Zimao continued to take medicine and apply ointment, the back of his neck was hot, itchy and painful.

They don’t need to wear training clothes to watch historical documentaries, he washed the training clothes he wear today, and change into a T-shirt and knee-length shorts.

Wang Yi kept urging him to go out quickly, he wanted to see the girls in normal clothes, before he went to college, he swore that he must have a girlfriend after he went to college.

Lin Zimao patted some water on his neck to relieve himself before going out.

The documentary was shown on the extensive school grounds, and the new students were arranged to sit on the expansive training fields, which were packed with people as far as the eye could see.

Fortunately, there is no rule that they must sit in the same formation as they trained during the day, Lin Zimao chose a position at the back and sat cross-legged.

The noisy new students were quieted down by the instructors’ voices.

The halogen lights on the field went out one by one, and the documentary images were soon presented to the new students.

The passionate background music at the beginning aroused the enthusiasm of a group of young people, this is a scene they have never seen before.

It was the early years of space warfare6Space warfare: 星球大戰 (Xīng qiú Dà zhàn): lit. Star Wars..

On the screen, mechas flew out of the giant battleship regularly…

While others are deeply involved in watching, Lin Zimao scratches the back of his neck from time to time.

It’s itchy and uncomfortable.

Sigh for no reason, how to endure tonight.

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Lin Zimao looked sideways, a shadow enveloped him, and the other party handed over a spray.

At this moment, he felt that the person in front of him was like a great hero who descended from the sky7從天而降 (cóng tiān ér jiàng): lit. to drop from the sky (idiom); fig. to appear unexpectedly; to happen all of the sudden; to happen out of the blue; to come out of nowhere; very unexpectedly., Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva8觀世音菩薩 (Guān shì yīn Pú sà): Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion or Goddess of Mercy (Sanskrit Avalokiteśvara). who came to save him from his suffering9救苦救難 (jiù kǔ jiù nàn): help people in distress; relieve sb.’s misery; help the needy and relieve the distressed―relieve people of their sufferings; The words in the Buddhist scriptures; Save people in suffering..

It’s one thing to think so in one’s heart, but it’s another to say it: “How come it’s you?”
Jiang Xuan looked at him coldly: “Are you regretful?”


The author has something to say:

Jiang Xuan: I’m not a Bodhisattva.

HAHAHA!!! 🤣🤣
