Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

The instructor didn't know which girl had brought in the hamburgers, so all four girls in Zheng Yanyan's dorm were subject to equal punishment, standing in front of the girls' dormitory building. By now, quite a few people had gathered to watch—not only the girls from the dormitories but also the boys who had escorted their girlfriends back and others who had rushed over to see the commotion.

In the girls' circles, Zheng Yanyan and her dormmates were considered top-notch. However, under the current circumstances, each of them fell silent, unable to utter a word. Usually, they would be able to chat and laugh, but now that discipline was involved, they had to be cautious.

Especially for girls like Shen Yu and Su Qing, who always strived for perfection.

Shen Yu had never made a mistake since she was little, nor had she ever been criticized by a teacher. Honestly, being called out by the instructor like this for public shaming, Shen Yu's mood had turned quite sour, and admitting her mistake was out of the question.

Su Qing's thoughts were much simpler. This whole incident was started by Zheng Yanyan and had nothing to do with her. Of course, she wouldn't reveal Zheng Yanyan's secret, thinking it was no big deal to be punished alongside her.

In school, many issues seemed to be of utmost importance at the time, but once they passed, the girls realized they were much ado about nothing, not worth the fear and anxiety they'd felt.

It was just a bit embarrassing to stand there with others looking on.

Zheng Yanyan was a rather stubborn girl, and at the moment, she felt it was absurd to make such a fuss over eating some KFC. She didn't know which idiot had reported her, but if she found out, she would definitely give them a piece of her mind.

Zheng Yanyan's eyes were scanning the crowd, trying to find the snitch.

"Fine, none of you will speak, huh? If you don't talk, then you'll all receive a major demerit! I'll mark you all as failing the military training!" the instructor bellowed menacingly, his eyes bulging with intimidation.

At this point, Zhou Yuwen and his friends had arrived.

Startled by these words, Chang Hao's face showed concern for Zheng Yanyan as he quietly asked Zhou Yuwen beside him, "Old Zhou, what should we do?"

"She's just trying to scare them. She doesn't have that much authority."

Zhou Yuwen was speechless. Such a threat might intimidate university students of today, but making four girls in a class fail military training? If the counselor found out, they might even think this idiot had a problem with them.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting!?"

Zhou Yuwen had merely made an offhand remark, not expecting Chang Hao to get angry.

"?" Zhou Yuwen looked at Chang Hao, suddenly realizing that Chang Hao might be upset with him for buying hamburgers for Zheng Yanyan.

At that moment, the crowd stirred as several male instructors arrived. The female instructor reported the situation to a male instructor, who led the way and frowned. Approaching the four girls, he surveyed them and asked, "Who brought these hamburgers in?"

"I did. It has nothing to do with them," Zheng Yanyan spoke up bravely.

Such a petty issue to be so fastidious about.

Zheng Yanyan was not the type to fear such things.

"You brought them in?" The instructor looked at Zheng Yanyan, his face showing dissatisfaction.

"Yeah, if you want to punish someone, punish me alone. It has nothing to do with them."

Since punishment was inevitable, it was better for one person to be punished than a whole group. Confronted with the instructor's displeased look, Zheng Yanyan was indifferent and even appeared somewhat bored.

The instructor stared at Zheng Yanyan for a while, observing her nonchalant demeanor.

Originally, he intended to have them punished by standing, but Zheng Yanyan stood with her hands behind her back, not standing at attention, just standing there slackly.

The instructor didn't look at Zheng Yanyan again but walked over to Su Qing and asked, "I'm asking you, where did these hamburgers come from?"

Su Qing also felt this instructor was ridiculous.

But obviously, that was something she couldn't say out loud.

"Hey, I already told you that I..."

"Did I speak to you!?" Before Zheng Yanyan could finish, the instructor suddenly roared, glaring fiercely at her.

This instructor seemed to have a higher rank than the others and knew better how to assert authority. With just a shout, Zheng Yanyan, who had previously been casual, was genuinely frightened.

After all, she was just a young girl and had never been berated like this before.

"All of you stand properly!"

The instructor shouted again, and the four girls instinctively stood up straight with their legs together.

"Do you think I'm just playing around with you? It's clearly stipulated during military training that no food is allowed to be kept in the dorms. What do you call this? Not only keeping it secretly, but also bringing it in from outside! What's this? What is this?"

The instructor kicked at the black plastic bag in front of him with his foot, causing the KFC packaging inside to scatter on the ground.

At least he didn't have to clean it up.

With hands on his hips and a threatening look, he said sternly, "I'm giving you one last chance. How did these things get brought in!?"

The four girls, intimidated by him, hung their heads and remained silent for a moment.

"You, speak."

The instructor's gaze swept over Zheng Yanyan, demanding an answer from her.

Although Zheng Yanyan was scared by the instructor, her face turning a bit pale, she took a moment to steady herself, "I brought them in."

"Can't you understand human language!?"

"Are you deaf or blind?"

"Who brought you in?"

"How were you brought in!"

"What's with that look! What do you want to do?!"

At that moment, Zheng Yanyan's gaze towards the instructor was somewhat displeased; she seemed like she wanted to hit the instructor.

The instructor, however, was not scared at all.

"I'll ask you one more time, how were you brought in."

"Just brought in like this! What do you mean, 'how were you brought in'!?"

"From this side, to the training field, we had already sealed it off. I'm asking you, where were you brought in from, and where did you go out from?" the instructor asked.

Zheng Yanyan couldn't answer. When she looked up, her eyes met Zhou Yuwen's for a moment, but they quickly parted ways naturally. Zheng Yanyan said, "I brought them in, what business is it of yours how I brought them in?"

"Not talking?"

"Well then, if you won't talk, you can all just stand here together, and we'll see how long you can last."

The instructor stood there, furious, yet didn't forget to glare at the bystanders watching: "What are you looking at? Do you want to be punished along with them!?"

After he said this, some other instructors helped to disperse the onlooking students.

At this time, Chang Hao's heart was extremely conflicted.

He was anxious, thinking, Yanyan ah, your temper is so big, why do you argue with the instructor? Couldn't you just soften up and shed a tear to resolve it?

The more you do this, aren't you just aggravating the conflict?!

What to do now?

In fact, Chang Hao knew this instructor.

During a previous visit to the instructor's dorm to smoke, he had met this instructor and knew he was a leader among them. They had even greeted each other, and the instructor had patted Chang Hao's shoulder saying the youngster looked quite robust.

Chang Hao thought this instructor was rather easy to talk to, and had just been contemplating whether to say a few good words to the instructor to ask for a favor.

But, unexpectedly, the instructor suddenly roared, startling Chang Hao.

And now, in this situation, Chang Hao knew it was over and felt helpless about Zheng Yanyan's fiery temper.

But looking at Zheng Yanyan, who was still locking eyes with the instructor in a standoff where neither would yield,

Chang Hao was very conflicted.

He was struggling over whether to say, "Report, instructor! I brought in those hamburgers!"

But if he did that, he would definitely be punished.

He was the squad leader of the second platoon, fourth squad.

And the impression he had made on several instructors was quite good.

What if he made that call?

It was the first time that leadership had shown such esteem for Chang Hao.

If he really stepped forward, wouldn't the instructor be disappointed in him?

Was he truly ready to give up his career for his love?

Chang Hao bit his teeth and wrestled with the decision for quite some time!

In the end, he made a choice!

To hell with the damn career!

"Report!"

The instructors were dispersing the crowd when a dispassionate report came through.

Everyone turned their eyes towards the voice. Experience tales at empire

The tall figure of Zhou Yuwen was very conspicuous in the crowd.

The head instructor standing next to Zheng Yanyan frowned slightly and looked at Zhou Yuwen: "What is it?"

"The hamburgers were from me," Zhou Yuwen said with an indifferent attitude.
