Hu Wenwu lowered his head, unable to face those gazes.

“Old Hu, our lives are in your hands, don’t mess up!”

Fang Mingyuan teased.

Hu Wenwu parked the tricycle on the track of the playground.

“You two, unload the cart!”

Lin Baici picked up a box of mineral water, returned to the formation, tore open the packaging, took out a few bottles and threw them to the students of Class 01, then took one bottle and handed it to Instructor Li.

“You’re generous, kid.”

Instructor Li smiled and had a better impression of Lin Baici.

He had been in charge of military training for college students for seven or eight years, but he had only seen three people buying water for their classmates.

“Do we not count?”

A mischievous male student teased.

“Go get it yourself, or are you waiting for me to feed you?”

Lin Baici finished distributing the mineral water from the box and returned to the electric tricycle. “Let’s go, one person carries one box, let’s go to the girls’ side!”

“What?” Hu Wenwu was stunned and shook his head. “You…you guys go, three boxes of water, can you two carry them?”

“Fool, Lao Bai is giving us a chance to impress them!”

Fang Mingyuan instantly understood Lin Baici’s good intentions. Otherwise, with his build, carrying five boxes by himself would be no problem.

Hu Wenwu was shy and dared not go.

“Do you still want to stay single?”

Fang Mingyuan picked up a box of water and handed it to Hu Wenwu.

“Tiger, you’re in college now, change a bit!”

Lin Baici not only advised Hu Wenwu, but he also planned to change himself and strive to become a better person.

Hu Wenwu gritted his teeth and nodded.

The three of them carried three boxes of water and walked towards the formation where the girls of Software Engineering Class 01 were.

The girls had already noticed the three of them.

Fang Mingyuan, who was involved in sports, had a more outgoing personality. “Girls of Class 01, come out and drink water!”

“Wow!”

“Thank you!”

“I won’t be polite then!”

The girls of Class 01 felt a sense of happiness when they realized that the mineral water was for them. They felt like they were being treated gently by the world.

Following that, a sense of superiority arose in their hearts.

There was no way around it. They went through military training together, endured the scorching sun, and now suddenly they were drinking mineral water.

With this treatment, it was impossible not to feel superior.

The boys in their own class were generous, considerate, and gentle. It seemed that they would have a pleasant four years together.

Some girls were too embarrassed to take the water, so Ji Xinyan came out and distributed it to everyone.

“Don’t waste the goodwill of your classmates!”

Ji Xinyan said, glancing at Lin Baici, who was handing water to the instructor. She didn’t expect that the guy she saw at the cafe yesterday was actually in the same class as her!

Fate!

“If you can’t drink it, give it to someone else!”

Lin Baici instructed Ji Xinyan.

There were a total of 72 bottles in three boxes of water, and Lin Baici estimated that the girls of Class 01 couldn’t finish them all.

“Who bought this water?”

Ji Xinyan casually asked.

“The boys pooled their money!”

Lin Baici had already prepared the answer.

Hu Wenwu was taken aback when he heard this. Why did Lao Bai say that?

Fang Mingyuan didn’t owe him any favors, so he immediately retorted, “Don’t listen to him, he paid for it himself. We two were just running errands.”

The girls originally thought highly of all the boys in the class when they heard Lin Baici’s answer. But now, they were suddenly surprised by Fang Mingyuan’s explanation. They looked at Lin Baici with puzzled expressions.

Clearly, it was you who paid for it, so why did you say it was the boys?

Won’t that make them less grateful to you?

“I just thought of it first. If I didn’t buy water for you, someone else would have!”

Lin Baici laughed heartily.

At this time, humility was needed, and when the girls asked, he couldn’t just say that he paid for it himself. That would be too showy.

“That’s not true!”

Ji Xinyan chimed in.

“Alright, we won’t disturb you anymore. Take care and don’t get heatstroke!”

Lin Baici bid farewell.

“What’s your name?”

Ji Xinyan asked, and the other girls, even those who were not from Class 01, were also interested in Lin Baici’s name.

“He’s called Hu Wenwu, talented in both literature and martial arts, he has the highest college entrance exam score in our dormitory. This one is Fang Mingyuan, he’s excellent at basketball and is a member of the school team. I’m Lin Baici, just an ordinary person!”

Lin Baici introduced.

“Just an ordinary Lin Baici, huh?”

Ji Xinyan thought to herself, with your face, how dare you say you’re ordinary? Do you believe that rich women will fight to have your babies?

Lin Baici and the other two left, and the girls immediately started whispering and evaluating.

“That Lin Baici is quite handsome!”

“What? Just quite? Your standards for handsome are really high.”

“He’s a warm-hearted guy!”

“Don’t say that too soon. He might be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Look at how you all are now, just because he gave you a bottle of water, you have a good impression of him!”

“A wolf? That’s even better. I like wolves!”

The girls chattered and all had a good impression of Lin Baici.

After the incident with the water delivery, military training continued as usual, but there was a change. The boys from other classes didn’t want to be outdone.

On the third day, during break time, everyone went to buy water for the girls in their own class.

Lin Baici trained every day, chatted with Hua Yueyu and Jin Yingzhen for a while after washing up in the evening, and then browsed the Origin Forum.

Now that he didn’t have his mother to take care of him, life was comfortable.

On the fourth day, Lin Baici participated in the selection of flag bearers, which involved standing in military posture and marching.

On the fifth day, Lin Baici saw a tall and handsome boy holding a red flag and practicing marching on the edge of the playground.

At night, after dinner, at eight o’clock, there was an emergency assembly.Everyone brought their stools to the playground. Under Instructor Li’s command, they formed a circle.

“Tonight is a social gathering. Come on, boys and girls, mix and sit together.”

Instructor Zhang, who was in charge of the girls’ formation, was a serious person who didn’t talk much.

“Whoever has a special talent, show it off. Maybe a girl will secretly fall for you!”

Instructor Li encouraged.

After about ten minutes of silence, a short-haired boy took the stage.

“Let’s give him a round of applause!”

Instructor Li led the applause.

The short-haired boy sang a Cantonese song, which was quite good, clearly his ace in the hole.

“Girls, it’s your turn. Don’t let the boys outshine you!”

Instructor Li provoked.

Once someone took the lead, everyone became more active, taking turns to perform.

It had to be said, the new students were truly talented.

Fang Mingyuan also took the stage, showing off his fancy basketball skills, while Qian Jiahui played a piece on the guitar.

“Who’s next?”

Just as Instructor Li asked, Xu Daguan called out to Lin Baici.

“Old Bai, your turn!”

Xu Daguan was a bit vindictive, hoping that Lin Baici had no talent and would embarrass himself in front of everyone.

Lin Baici shook his head.

He had sung a couple of songs before and uploaded them to Bilibili, but the response was lukewarm, which had hit his confidence, so he wasn’t interested.

“Old Bai, stop hiding your talents. Everyone is waiting for you to show off. Come on, do something!”

Xu Daguan clapped rhythmically.

Everyone started to join in, clapping along.

Because of the water delivery incident and his good looks, Lin Baici had gained some popularity among the new software engineering students.

“Do something!”

“Do something!”

“Do something!”

Everyone chanted in unison.

Left with no choice, Lin Baici stood up and walked to the center of the circle.

“Then I’ll sing ‘The Brightest Star in the Night Sky’.”

Lin Baici didn’t use his divine grace, he just sang casually.

When the song ended, everyone applauded.

“He sings just okay!”

“It’s not bad, at least he didn’t go off-key!”

“So what if he sings badly? Am I here to listen to the song? I’m here to see him!”

The girls chattered.

The social gathering was lively. When it was time to disperse, Instructor Li called out to Lin Baici: “Baici, come over here!”

Lin Baici guessed that it was probably about the flag bearer issue.

Instructor Li hesitated, unsure of how to start.

Lin Baici looked at the dormitory windows glowing with light, patiently waiting.

“Ah, the flag bearer thing, it’s off!”

Instructor Li sighed.

“Thank you for your efforts, Instructor.”

Lin Baici thanked him.

“A student named Zheng Haixuan has been appointed as the flag bearer, designated by your vice dean!”

Instructor Li revealed.

Despite all the instructors recommending flag bearer candidates and holding selection trials yesterday, these people were just for show, destined to be eliminated.

Instructor Li felt guilty. He had encouraged Lin Baici, but the result was disappointing.

“I understand!”

Lin Baici nodded, he really didn’t care about being the flag bearer or not.

“It’s good that you can take it easy!”

Instructor Li patted Lin Baici’s shoulder, appreciating his calm and composed attitude.

……

Time, like sand in a young girl’s hand, passed quickly!

The nine-day military training period was over, and the performance report was due tomorrow.

“We’re almost through!”

Xu Daguan was already fed up with this formality.

Lin Baici lay on his bed, chatting with Xia Hongyao.

Detective Xia: The deputy minister has already signed it, it’s going through the process, you should get the bonus in a week at most.

Lin under the moon: Thanks for your trouble.

Detective Xia: It’s my job.

Detective Xia: How many days off do you have after your military training?

Lin under the moon: Three days, just in time for classes to start next Monday.

Detective Xia: Are you free the day after tomorrow? I’ll take you to a fun place.

Lin under the moon: How fun?

Detective Xia: You’ll be so happy you’ll forget to go home!

“Lin Baici, Instructor Li is looking for you!”

Suddenly, someone shouted from the corridor.

“I know, I’m on my way!”

Lin Baici got off the bed.

Lin under the moon: The instructor is calling me!

Detective Xia: You go ahead. By the way, keep an eye out for any suspicious people around your school.

Lin under the moon: What’s going on?

Detective Xia: There have been five death cases recently in the two streets near Haijing University of Technology. We suspect they were caused by a Divine Taboo.

Lin under the moon: Understood.

Lin Baici put away his phone, went to see the instructor, and pondered whether he could go out and look around. Maybe he could use the hunger of the God Eater to find the Divine Taboo.

But doing so would definitely be dangerous.

Instructor Li was at the staircase, smoking anxiously. Seeing Lin Baici, he hesitated for a moment before speaking: “Baici, can you do me a favor?”
