Chapter 196: Like Jade’s Oath

Obviously she didn’t agree.

Li Shuyun looked left and right and sat down on a chair at the side with a smile. She tilted her head and looked Wang Yan up and down.

Then, she started to make conversation.

“Are you practicing your military posture?”

Wang Yan didn’t respond.

“It’s rare to see a guy like you pay so much attention to a flag-raising position…”

Wang Yan didn’t reply.

“So you’re really special… I feel that you are not doing it for academic credits. Can you tell me why?”

Wang Yan remained silent.

“Tsk! How cold!”

Li Shuyun sighed deeply and changed the topic.

“After three years of university, I realized that most of the male students in the academy are lacking in vigor. It’s hard to describe it. Let me think…”

Wang Yan did not respond, but she continued to talk. She did not feel embarrassed at all.

She was very determined.

“There are quite a lot of guys who claim that they’d die for girls they like and make all kinds of vows.

“But when the time comes for them to do something serious… I can only laugh.

“Many of the guys who chase me are like that. Playing games and dating are everything in their life.

“They are young and naive in the freshman year, passionate and adorable.

“Then they become shallow in the sophomore year.

“Finally they feel a sense of urgency in the junior year, but they don’t have the determination to achieve something in their life.

“I never see such determination in them…”

“It’s truly annoying.”

Clapping her hands, she suddenly smiled brightly.

“Hey! Little Junior Wang Yan, has anyone ever told you that when you purse your lips and gaze at something intensely, your side profile is super handsome?”

“Eh? Am I the first who noticed that?!

“Wow! What a pleasant surprise. This actually is your first time… hehehe!

“I’m serious. The look when you were reading when I fist met you, and now, when you standing upright, pursing your lips and looking straight ahead while ignoring me, you look super handsome!”

In the dim woods, there was no one nearby. Facing Wang Yan, this seemingly harmless youth, Li Shuyun spoke really frankly.

So frank that she looked almost unbridled.

Wang Yan was speechless but felt amused. He did not interrupt her and listened to her chatter.

“Hey, Wang Wang, so why are you so insistent on practicing the goose steps?!

“I’m a very curious person. If you keep it a secret, I’ll keep guessing thinking about it and can’t even sleep until I get the answer. It would be very annoying, you know?!

“Also, can you face another direction?

“Don’t point the damn stick at me. Turn around and let me see your side profile!”

Wang Yan was about to change his leg, so he turned sideway to Li Shuyun with the flagpole.

The bold girl was pleased. With a “Mua”, she blew a kiss to him.

“Good boy, this is your reward!”

In the end, she still couldn’t get a response from Wang Yan, which finally made her feel a little defeated. She pouted unhappily.

She looked pretty this way, but who could she show it to?

Resting her chin in her palm for a while, she began to mumble again.

“Very few people would put their whole heart and soul into such a trivial thing… So why are you so different from others?”

A trivial thing?

Wang Yan didn’t like it, so he finally opened his mouth to respond.

The first sentence he said made Li Shuyun, who thought highly of herself, change her expression.

“So you’re just an ordinary woman.

“When you judge the meaning of things and the value of others’ efforts, there’s always only one criteria — whether or not it’s useful in the future.

“If you can use it, then it has meaning. If you can’t use it, then it’s useless.

“That kind of thinking is like a line drawn on a piece of paper. No matter how you toss and turn it, even if you draw a flower that resembles a real flower, it still looks lifeless and untouchable.

Wang Yan’s tone did not contain any ridicule. It was as if he was merely narrating a fact or discussing a serious problem.

He sounded very calm.

Therefore, Li Shuyun was not particularly angry, but she was unconvinced.

She raised her head and asked, “What about you?”

Wang Yan did not say anything again.

He did not want to talk about himself with a woman he was not familiar with. It was too stupid.

The only time he did was because the situation and the person were suitable, and his mood was just right, so he opened himself naturally.

Now that none of the conditions were met, it was best to stop here.

However, Li Shuyun didn’t what to stop.

She gritted her teeth and strode up with her long legs. In a few steps, she was in front of Wang Yan and pushed the dumbfounded Gouzi against the tree next to her.

She raised her head provocatively and asked, “What about now? Is it still missing? Is it lacking?”

Wang Yan was really shocked by her bold behavior. For a moment, he couldn’t react at all.

When he came to his senses, her lips were less than 10 centimeters away from his.

Perfume, scent of her shampoo, shower gel, makeup, all kinds of scents, mixed with her fresh breath, assaulted his face.

And she was fiercely staring at Wang Yan, looking fearless.

The young master only needed to slightly lower his head to knock her face into a bloody mess with a fierce headbutt.

However, Brother Fugui only felt amused.

He pushed her away gently and shook his head. “You don’t understand.”

“You!”

Li Shuyun was so angry that she was about to explode. Her chest rose and fell violently.

“You are not willing to say anything. How am I supposed to understand?”

Wang Yan turned around and returned to his original position. He picked up the flagpole that had fallen to the ground and waved at her.

“Before the performance, my time is very precious. No matter what you want to do, let’s talk about it later, okay?”

It was a question with a certain tone.

To be honest, Li Shuyun was really a little stunned by this guy who didn’t play by the rules and was always calm and composed.

She couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. She felt like a child. How was she supposed to go on?

After thinking for a while, she turned and left.

“Alright, I’ll wait until your military training ends! Wang Yan, remember, we’re not done yet!”

Wang Yan ignored her and practiced according to the original plan until 9:45 am. He returned to his dormitory to read and sleep.

The next morning, he woke up. It was Monday and another Lucky Roulette appeared in the shopping mall.

Director Wang was overjoyed and immediately took it.

Cash: 13.16 million.

Experience: 1,604/2,500.

The day passed uneventfully.

At night, when he went out to practice, Wang Yan thought that Li Shuyun would not come and pester him anymore, but he was wrong…

Not only did the girl come, she even carried a drawing board on her back!

“You go on with your practice and I’ll do some painting. We won’t disturb each other!”

Without waiting for Wang Yan to say anything, Li Shuyun explained.

Then, under the dim street light, she sat on the bench and started to paint.

On the first day, she strictly kept her promise and didn’t say a word.

On the second day, she forgot her promise and started to mumble again.

On the third day, she returned to her old ways and kept teasing Wang Yan.

“Wow, your eyebrows are so handsome!”

“Eh?! I suddenly realized that your legs are really beautiful. They’re perfect!”

“Hey, I’m almost done. Do you have a name for this painting?”

“Do you know Adeline by the water? Let’s call it Gouzi Wang in the Woods, okay?”

Big Wang was both frustrated and happy.

After all, she was a beautiful girl and kept coming on to you with all kinds of praises. She did not hide her desire for you…

Pretty cool, right?

Wang Yan really hadn’t experienced this kind of situation before. He felt that a crack was gradually opening up in his heart.

Although she didn’t have the perseverance and enthusiasm of Liu Li, she was interesting in her own way.

And beautiful.

But right now Wang Yan really didn’t have the physical strength, mood, and time to deal with her.

Therefore, on the fourth day, Wang Yan didn’t go to the small forest to practice, but switched to the big playground.

With people coming and going, he’d see if she dared to come!

As expected, Li Shuyun didn’t come. The world was finally quiet.

Also, from the 10th, Wang Yan combined the disassembled movements and began practicing marching with the flagpole.

The sports field was not suitable for couples. Instead, there were many students from the physical education department training every day, so Wang Yan was not very conspicuous among them.

On the morning of the 12th, it was finally time to select the flag-bearer of the management department.

The department chief had come to watch. The eight flag-bearer trainees walked on the track one after another. They would walk for 60 meters, and the distance for the goose steps was 20 meters.

Gao Hu was no longer as arrogant as before. They trained together every day. It was becoming increasingly clear who was stronger.

He tried his best to walk the entire distance. Then, he held onto the flagpole and stood on the lawn, waiting for the results.

When Wang Yan appeared, Gao Hu’s dark face suddenly turned white and he began to pant.

When he did the quick march, the audience could actually see the difference.

Although Wang Yan was not tall, he had a pair of long legs that could be considered perfect. So when he walked steadily and accurately, his movements looked smooth and pleasing to the eye.

Purely from a visual point of view, people with good physical proportion would look better even if they did the same movements as the others.

When he did the quick march, he stood out with his excellent figure and when he did the goose steps, he outdid the others because of his perseverance.

His movements were strong, vigorous, and standard.

Although there was no one standing next to him as a comparison, everyone could see that Wang Yan’s movements were solid and standardized.

Compared to the other seven people, he was on a completely different level.

The straight leg posture, the tight instep, the shoulders that did not sway at all, the exact and neat flag-raising movement..

He looked dashing!

The dean of Economics and Management College, Wen Bin, suddenly asked the head of the economics department, Lu Jianguo, “Jianguo, this student is not bad. He is in your department, right?”

Lu Jianguo had a deep impression of Wang Yan as well, but he didn’t know this student.

The counselor of economics class one, Wu Chengjian, immediately nodded to his immediate boss.

Lu Jianguo smiled and said, “It looks like I have to keep an eye on this child. He can achieve this in just ten days, which shows he has the ability to do anything well so long as he sets his mind on it. He has great potential!”

Wu Chengjian timely continued, “Wang Yan is the class monitor elected by all the students of our class one. He has a lot of prestige among his peers.”

The Economic and Management College was a small in all aspects. It was rare for it to stand out in an event.

Today, Wang Yan appeared in front of the school leaders in an outstanding manner. Everyone was in a good mood.

Wen Bin was in high spirits. He added, “Oh? He could even get the girls to vote him, nice!”

Lu Jianguo asked the instructor, “Are there any ones who does better?”

The instructor, Yan Chuan, shook his head.

“Then it’s Little Wang then?”

“Alright.”

They only gave the remaining three a brief glance and made the decision.

After they left, the instructor Yan Chuan went down to announce the decision.

“All of you, attention! I now announce that the flag bearer of the elite formation of the Economic and Management College is… Wang Yan!”

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at Wang Yan at the same time.

Surprised?

Of course. On the first day, Wang Yan’s performance was the worst.

Was it fair?

It was very fair. Every day after that, they cold see Wang Yan’s improvement and he had soon left everyone behind.

He had indeed won fairly. There was no doubt about it.

Soon, Song Chen and Wang Yihang began to applaud and the others followed suit.

“Wang, well done!”

“Congratulations!”

“Bro, you’re the best!”

“Thank you, thank you!”

Wang Yan still looked calm, but his heart was already filled with joy.

He was reaping the rewards after putting in great efforts.

After putting in enough effort, the joy of winning was great.

It meant that his efforts didn’t go to waste!

In the midst of excitement, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly popped out and added the icing on the cake.

[ Congratulations to the host for gaining something from the boring training. You have activated a reward related to sports. ]

[ Your good posture has been officially upgraded to a permanent skill.]

[ Beautiful posture ]

[ Passive skill ]

[ At any moment, on any occasion, in any sport, your movements will always be so pleasing to the eye ]

[ Rhythm, precision, and explosiveness are among the many factors that affect the expression of the body, but you don’t need to worry about any of them because you’ll move naturally with elegance.]

[ Note: just like Kobe’s backswing, Bolt’s sprint, and YuzuruHanyu’s figure skating, the ball may not go into the basket, the sprint may fail, and the skater may lose the championship, but the beauty of the body is unquestionable.]

Wang Yan carefully savored the description and the final [ Note ] , and quickly came back to his senses.

It seemed that this skill was only responsible for looking good, and he had to practice hard if he wanted to achieve anything?

If he didn’t learn and practice, he wouldn’t be able to do the movements.

If he couldn’t practice them well, then it would just be a good-looking display.

But Wang Yan was still very happy.

He didn’t care as long as he’d look good!

He was now a genius who was born to be dashing. Girls and women would cheer for him and that was what he wanted anyway!

…

In the midst of the celebrations, Gao Hu looked gloomy. He was stubborn and refused to say anything in congratulation.

But in the end, he did not dare to question anything. It was obvious that he had already admitted defeat in his heart.

Wang Yan was in a great mood and could not be bothered with him.

However, song Chen still remembered the conflict from back then. He glanced at Gao Hu and spat forcefully.

“There are some people whose family background is better than yours, whose looks are better than yours, and who work harder than you. You’re not happy with that? Who do you think you are?!”

The exact words were returned to the original speaker, and it felt good!

Gao Hu could not say a word. He threw down his flagpole in resentment and left.

Wang Yan looked at the elated Song Chen and could not help but laugh.

Brother-in-law, you’re quite vindictive, huh?

I pity the guy who wants to date your sister…

…

In the next two days, Wang Yan had to train with the formation, so he got even busier.

He allocated less time to meals and sleep, but the only things that didn’t change was reading and chatting with Liu Li every day.

Tuesday, the 15th of September.

The half-month of military training was finally coming to an end, and the freshmen would have the final performance today.

Wang Yan changed into a new military uniform and a pair of thick, stuffy military boots.

He instructed Like Jade and Dutch Potato, who were eliminated from the parade formation in the end.

“Potato, you two must shoot a good video of today’s performance. I’ll need it for some good use!”

The two guys patted their chests hard.

“Boss, don’t worry. One of us will do the follow shot and the other will do the static shot. We’ll definitely take a good shot for you!”

“If I bungle it, ten… then…”

Like Jade racked his brain to find a good punishment for himself, and soon found one.

“When we go out to have fun, you guys will be accompanied by young ladies. Boss, you can get two old women for me. I will let them ravage me, even if I might die from it!”

The others shivered and silently gave him a thumbs up.

Alright, bro, we believe you can do it!

…

The military music sounded and the performance finally began.

Every year, a large number of seniors students would come and watch the show, trying to find some handsome guys and beautiful girls.

The viewing area was densely packed with people.

After a long and anxious wait, it was finally the turn of the elite square formation of the Economics and Management College to appear.

Like Jade held up the DV in his hand and did the follow shot standing before the crowd.

Jumping up and down, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, he was as agile as a monkey.

All of a sudden, he found that a girl had been following him around, also taking video of the management phalanx.

He subconsciously glanced over and found that the cap and the T-shirt looked a little familiar.

A classmate?

Or the senior girl from the Art College?

Seeing that the phalanx was about to start march, Like Jade immediately threw those distracting thoughts to the back of his mind.

Who cares!

No one can stop me from shooting the boss’s heroic and dashing performance!

No one can make me do it with old women!
