Su Xiaotian blinked her eyes repeatedly, quite worried she might be mistaken.
However, as the person grew closer, Su Xiaotian finally confirmed that the person before her was indeed her brother.
Her own brother—Su Wuliang.
Su Wuliang was attending a military academy in the south. Although it was a university, he had less freedom compared to his other brothers.
It was a good year if he could come home once.
Su Xiaotian truly hadn't expected to see him here!
"Brother?" Su Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise.
"Brother? Xiaotian, no matter how excited you are, you can't just call out 'brother' like that?"
Zhao Hongmei happened to be beside Su Xiaotian. Upon hearing this, she instinctively pulled Su Xiaotian, fearing they would be laughed at by others.
But Su Xiaotian, excited, gripped Zhao Hongmei's arm and said, "Hongmei, I really saw my brother, he's right there, right there!"
Su Xiaotian's fair fingers pointed in Su Wuliang's direction.
However, Su Xiaotian's senses were a bit stronger than others. What Su Xiaotian could see clearly, Zhao Hongmei couldn't quite make out.
Moreover, Zhao Hongmei genuinely couldn't discern which person among the group Su Xiaotian was referring to.
To Zhao Hongmei, the entire group looked similar.
But even if she couldn't clearly identify Su Xiaotian's brother, Su Xiaotian's brother was supposed to be there.
"Is your brother a soldier?" Zhao Hongmei asked.
"Yes, yes, Hongmei, my brother is really here!"
Su Xiaotian was so happy she could have jumped.
This time, when they returned to the northwest for their eldest brother's wedding, her brother had said he had a mission and couldn't come home.
She never expected to see him here.
That rascal brother, why didn't he call in advance?
To let the family be happy.
At this moment, Su Wuliang had also spotted the figure excitedly jumping around on the field.
That's his own little sister!
Heaven knew how happy Su Wuliang was when he received the order to come to Beijing University as an instructor.
He had already received a letter from home saying his sister was attending university, at Beijing University.
He had only been off the plane for a short while and was wondering when he would see his sister.
Unexpectedly, he saw her as soon as he entered the field.
Su Wuliang was also excited, but he wasn't Su Xiaotian; he couldn't lose composure at a time like this.
Therefore, his sun-tanned, tender face tried its best to suppress his excitement, and his feet strove to maintain a steady pace.
The surrounding people couldn't help but smile watching Su Xiaotian's excited, unrestrained jumping.
She's still just a child!
People are like that; they are always more tolerant of those younger than themselves.
Soon, a line of upright figures walked to their respective positions.
They were the instructors, each responsible for leading a class of students in military training.
Su Xiaotian's classmates behind her began to whisper, wondering what kind of person their instructor would be.
Whether they would be strict or lenient, and so on.
Su Xiaotian clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on Su Wuliang.
Another person beside Su Wuliang also noticed the little girl in the distance staring at them.
That young man, with a desire to show off, straightened his posture even more.
"Xiaotian, who do you think our instructor will be among these people?" Chu Yue asked.
"I don't know..." Su Xiaotian replied absentmindedly.
As they exchanged questions and answers, the neat formation moved towards them, and the number of people seemed to be decreasing.
"Su Wuliang, step forward!"
Just then, Su Xiaotian heard the familiar name.
Su Xiaotian became even more excited. The instructor for the previous class had already stepped forward; the person stepping forward this time would be their instructor for the Chinese Language and Literature class.
Would her brother be their instructor?
If so, that would be truly wonderful.
Then their siblings could spend more time together.
Su Xiaotian was so excited she could barely stand. If her fair little hands weren't gripping Zhao Hongmei, she would have surely fallen.
Su Wuliang also hadn't expected that he would coincidentally be the instructor for his sister's class.
It was truly unexpected, a pleasant surprise.
"Yes!" Su Wuliang responded loudly and immediately.
His voice was so resonant it was almost deafening.
The young man next to Su Wuliang's eyes flickered as he glanced at Su Wuliang, completely perplexed as to why this fellow was so excited.
He hadn't seen any peerless beauties in this class!
It wasn't that the girls in the Chinese Language and Literature class weren't pretty; in fact, the颜值 in this class was quite high.
But there were quite a few beauties among the new students this year, and at this time, even without paying close attention, he had seen quite a few.
While the others continued forward, Su Wuliang turned and stood rigidly in front of Su Xiaotian and her classmates.
"I am your instructor, Su Wuliang. Starting today, for the next fifteen days, I will be training you. I hope you can all pass the final assessment!"
After saluting the students, Su Wuliang said in a deep voice.
When the students heard that there would be an assessment, they immediately felt unwell.
Military training was one thing, but why an assessment?
They weren't here to attend university, nor were they here to become soldiers.
Su Xiaotian could even hear the sounds of lament from the classmates behind her.
Su Xiaotian heard it, and Su Wuliang, not far from Su Xiaotian, naturally heard it too.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
They were already starting to wail?
He would let them wail to their heart's content during the training later!
"Is the class monitor for Chinese Language and Literature present?"
Su Wuliang frowned, scanned the crowd, and asked.
His voice now held a hint of sternness.
How could these students be so undisciplined?
That's right, at this moment, none of these students had reacted to the instructor standing in front of them. They should have formed ranks and stood at attention.
Even if they didn't know before, the classes ahead of them had already made their moves, so they should have known by observing.
In fact, not only the other classmates, but Su Xiaotian herself, engrossed in her excitement, hadn't reacted.
It wasn't until she heard her brother's booming voice that Su Xiaotian finally realized, belatedly, that this was military training time, not home.
This was not the time for siblings to reunite, but rather the beginning of their formal interaction.
Their current identities were instructor and student, and this was her mistake.
"Class monitor, step forward!" Su Wuliang scanned the students, his brow furrowing even more.
Although they hadn't reported their numbers in formation, Su Wuliang could see clearly.
This class should have fifty students, but in reality, only a little over half were present.
There should be about twenty more people missing.
Didn't these people know that the assembly for military training was at 2:30 PM?
Thinking of this, Su Wuliang felt that it must be the class monitor's poor organization, failing to make things clear.
At this moment, Su Xiaotian finally reacted.
Su Xiaotian immediately stood at attention and saluted Su Wuliang with a less-than-perfect military posture.
"Reporting, Instructor, Class Monitor Su Xiaotian of Chinese Language and Literature reports!"
