Zhao Hongmei was so excited she let out a yelp.
"Little Sweetheart, you're truly a treasure. Tell me, is there anything you *can't* do?"
Zhao Hongmei was astonished. Were all the top students in this era so versatile? Not only could they study and learn, but they also possessed strong practical skills?
Su Xiaotian thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know of anything I can't do yet, but I'm sure there are things I can't!"
Her words were rather infuriating, her confidence was simply unassailable.
"I'm not worried about not being able to tie the leg wraps. After all, with a bit of serious practice, anyone can learn. What I'm worried about is whether military training will be as rigorous as that of the soldiers?"
Chu Yue said with a sigh, almost scratching her hair. She had family members in the military and knew how tough it was. If the military training was as strict as actual military service, her frail body probably wouldn't be able to endure it.
Su Xiaotian said calmly, "There is indeed a possibility, but the intensity shouldn't be that high!"
It was a joke. If these students were trained like actual soldiers, they probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed the next morning.
"Will it be very tiring?" Qian Xiaobei asked.
She didn't know if being a soldier was more tiring than working in the fields, but working in the fields was indeed exhausting.
Moreover, she had no idea what they would be doing. What if the movements were too difficult and she couldn't do them?
Would she be laughed at?
Especially if she became a burden, would she be looked down upon even more by other classmates?
Qian Xiaobei came from a rural background, carrying a certain amount of inferiority complex.
In fact, she wasn't the only one with such feelings.
Qi Xiaofang and Li Jianhong also came from rural areas and were worried about this issue, though slightly less so than Qian Xiaobei.
Unlike the three girls from the countryside, Chu Yue and the others had many concerns as well.
First and foremost was their physical stamina. If they couldn't keep up, it would be embarrassing!
Secondly, they were also worried about getting tanned and peeling skin during military training.
They intended to be beautiful university students. Would military training make them ugly and unattractive?
Qi Xiaofang, however, had more concerns. She also worried that with increased exercise, they might not get enough to eat.
She always felt hungry when she worked in the fields before.
In short, everyone's worries were diverse, their thoughts varied, and their concerns differed.
However, before they could voice all these concerns, they heard a knock on the dormitory door.
The person knocking was clearly being rough, banging on the door with a "bang, bang, bang."
If one didn't know better, they would think an enemy had arrived.
Su Xiaotian went to open the door and was immediately hit on the head by an article of clothing.
Su Xiaotian, not understanding, pulled the garment off her head and saw Tang Minmin glaring at her with fury.
"Su Xiaotian, what do you mean by this? Is it because I didn't give you face this morning, so you're taking revenge and trying to embarrass me?"
Tang Minmin's entire face was flushed with anger.
Su Xiaotian was bewildered.
What happened?
She didn't know anything, and Tang Minmin had already come to confront her?
"Tang Minmin, speak properly. How did Xiaotian offend you?" Yin Ruyun, now fully energized, asked, eager to stir up trouble.
She hadn't expected that a small action she took would have such a significant effect.
Tang Minmin's temper, combined with the existing grievances with Su Xiaotian from that morning, meant this matter was unlikely to be easily resolved.
When Su Xiaotian heard Yin Ruyun's voice, she instinctively felt that things might not be that simple.
She could see now that Yin Ruyun, despite her seemingly innocent and harmless appearance, was actually rotten to the core.
If this matter had nothing to do with her, it would be truly strange.
But now, Tang Minmin was so enraged, and Su Xiaotian still didn't understand the full story. She could only suppress her anger and ask patiently.
"You still have the nerve to ask me? Su Xiaotian, how have I offended you for you to bully me like this!"
Tang Minmin, a person who was usually so strong-willed, began to cry after saying this.
Su Xiaotian became even more confused. Fortunately, at this moment, the girl who followed Tang Minmin came over.
She took the clothing from Su Xiaotian and said, "Class monitor, there's a problem with this piece of clothing."
The other person said this with evident embarrassment.
Su Xiaotian picked up the clothing and realized it was a pair of pants.
However, the crotch of the pants Su Xiaotian was holding had now split open.
This...
Su Xiaotian couldn't believe her eyes.
Why were perfectly good pants torn?
"Look for yourself. The stitching is clearly deliberately cut. Su Xiaotian, you're too disgusting!"
It turned out that after Tang Minmin put on the pants, she stumbled accidentally. With a slight exertion, the crotch of the pants tore open.
Although Tang Minmin regained her balance, half of her backside was exposed.
Tang Minmin came from a good family, studied well, and was doted on at home. She had never suffered such humiliation.
But at the time, she didn't think much of it, assuming it was a quality issue with the pants.
However, when she took the pants off, she was surprised to find that the stitching had been deliberately cut.
Tang Minmin couldn't help but think more deeply.
She considered that if she hadn't happened to exert force and the pants had torn prematurely, they might have ripped during military training.
That would have been truly mortifying, to the extreme.
Since everyone had just arrived at school, Tang Minmin felt that if anyone were targeting her, it would definitely be Su Xiaotian.
She looked down on Su Xiaotian, and this thought only strengthened her conviction that Su Xiaotian had done it deliberately.
"You deliberately wanted me to make a fool of myself, to embarrass me, to ruin my reputation, didn't you, Su Xiaotian?"
Thinking that her backside was almost exposed to so many people on the training ground, Tang Minmin's tears fell even faster with anger.
Yin Ruyun secretly rejoiced. She had originally thought that if this matter caused a scene today, Su Xiaotian would surely be blamed.
After all, no one could let such public humiliation go unchecked.
It was certain that Su Xiaotian, as the class monitor, had failed in her duties.
However, she hadn't expected that the pants she had tampered with would end up with Tang Minmin.
Given Tang Minmin's personality, she would definitely not let Su Xiaotian off easily.
"Tang Minmin, this has nothing to do with me!"
Instinctively, Su Xiaotian felt that Yin Ruyun must have tampered with it, but without evidence, she couldn't say it casually.
But she still had to explain clearly. This matter truly had nothing to do with her.
"If it wasn't you, who else in the class would want to embarrass me? Besides, didn't you retrieve the clothes, and didn't you distribute them?"
"I did indeed collect the clothes and distribute them, but before distributing them, how could I have known that you would happen to get this particular pair? There are eight classmates from our class living in your dormitory!"
Although she really didn't want to reflect on such a matter, Su Xiaotian patiently explained.
At this moment, Su Xiaotian was inwardly grumbling.
