CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 143 MILITARY DEPARTMENT INSTRUCTOR_2
The instructor’s voice was loud, almost a shout. Although Du Xixi and the others couldn’t see the instructor’s expression, seeing the students facing him all hanging their heads and shrinking their necks in fear, they could imagine he wasn’t smiling.
"...Alright, now disperse and gather again when I blow the whistle!" The instructor coldly tossed out these words at the end of the briefing, yet not a single student moved — they were all still a bit scared, not yet reacting.
But the instructor didn’t say anything more, instead scanning over these students once and then coldly turning around, intending to play the role of a cool and intimidating instructor, but... he saw Du Xixi, and Du Xixi saw him.
"..." The steps of the instructor halted as he turned, he looked at Du Xixi, hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Good morning, sis!"
Du Xixi raised an eyebrow, showing a faint smile, "Morning, Instructor Mo Feng."
That’s right, the Military Department instructor for the Food Department this time, was Mo Ying’s brother, Ke Lian’s good buddy, Mo Feng.
"Sis, that... I’m usually just like that with the recruits! I wasn’t..." Mo Feng had been quite formidable just now, but seeing Du Xixi, knowing that Du Xixi had seen his briefing, made him a little embarrassed, "I wasn’t bullying them."
Mo Feng mainly works in the Military Department under Ke Lian. When Ke Lian goes to the battlefield, Mo Feng goes along; when Ke Lian returns, Mo Feng follows back, and when Ke Lian trains new soldiers, Mo Feng joins in too.
But compared to Ke Lian’s training style, Mo Feng always feels he’s not authoritative enough. Those recruits often become buddies with him, rather than becoming elite soldiers like those under Ke Lian’s hand.
So coming to Blue Star University for student military training this time, Mo Feng planned to change his style to become more "like Ke Lian"... Maybe this way, the soldiers he trains would be more presentable?
But Mo Feng never expected, his first attempt at putting this into practice would be caught by Ke Lian’s wife so directly, although Du Xixi certainly wouldn’t overthink it, Mo Feng just felt awkward.
Du Xixi indeed didn’t overthink it. She just found the instructor’s back very familiar earlier, and as she got closer, she realized it was Mo Feng. However, she didn’t interrupt, but waited for a chance to greet him after his briefing concluded.
But unexpectedly, Du Xixi hadn’t found a chance yet when Mo Feng turned around and greeted her first. Naturally, Du Xixi had to respond. As for the content of Mo Feng’s briefing earlier, Du Xixi didn’t find anything wrong.
Back when she was at Blue Star University, she also underwent military training, and the words of that instructor were harsher than Mo Feng’s. But he was cold outside and warm inside, voluntarily letting several female students rest when they really couldn’t hold on but were too embarrassed to ask for leave.
So Mo Feng’s embarrassed words just now left Du Xixi quite puzzled, but those students and He Yuan beside her were watching too. Du Xixi didn’t ask directly but smiled and softly said, "Just follow your own habits, why explain to me? I actually wanted to ask you, how have you been lately?"
Because Du Xixi and the others arrived and Du Xixi started chatting with the instructor, those students who hadn’t moved now were even less willing to move, listening intently to Du Xixi and Mo Feng’s conversation.
Seeing the students behind, Mo Feng gestured for Du Xixi to walk a few steps to the side with him, away from the range where they could eavesdrop, then said, "Don’t worry, sis, I’m doing well at the Military Department, just that elder sister has been experiencing pregnancy symptoms recently and is getting thinner."
Due to being busy at the Military Department, Mo Feng could only rush to Mo Ying’s house every day after work to check on Mo Ying. He truly felt unable to help much in caring for Mo Ying.
Since they no longer had the opportunity to eavesdrop, the students relaxed, scattered around, chatting leisurely with their new friends, while Wenren Yu and the others also didn’t join Du Xixi and Mo Feng, choosing instead to chat with some students they met during the assessment about their studies for a while.
Hearing Mo Feng mention Mo Ying, Du Xixi’s expression also showed some worry. When Mo Ying was first checked and confirmed pregnant, she was doing well, eating and drinking with an excellent appetite, but in just a few days, her appetite declined, and she could only bear to eat some sour and sweet preserved fruits she liked while fighting off nausea.
