When Pei Jinyang asked who Jiang Se was, Instructor Liu frowned slightly. Upon seeing his expression, Pei Jinyang laughed.

“What are you thinking about?”

He was already in his 30s and had his own family. The reason he asked about Jiang Se was purely because he noticed her pulling a strange face just now.

Instructor Liu smiled. “She’s one of the students here for military training. I think she has potential.”

Pei Jinyang knew his character well. When he heard him praising Jiang Se, he was surprised and did a second take at Jiang Se.

Meanwhile, Pei Yi was still rubbing the side of his neck. Pei Jinyang could barely restrain him just now. With no other choice, he held him in a headlock to force him to keep quiet.

When Pei Jinyang spoke to Instructor Liu, however, he instinctively looked up.

Jiang Se remembered how his eyes would light up every time he saw her in the past. Perhaps because Pei Yi was the eldest among his generation in the Pei family, he had no older sisters, so he had been close to her since young.

However, at this moment, his gaze merely lingered on Jiang Se for a brief moment, and he turned away.

After her rebirth, Jiang Se knew what this meant. She was now one of the many girls who had nothing to do with him, thus it was natural for Pei Yi not to have recognized her.

Nevertheless, when she met Pei Yi in person and he would not even look her in the eye, she suddenly felt sad.

She remembered the night when he had departed for France. She had been sent home by the Jianghua Group heir in his car, and Pei Yi had been waiting for her at her home. Unfortunately, the two of them parted on bad terms that night.

If she had known that things would turn out this way, she would not have argued with Pei Yi. Now, she had to live with this regret in her heart and could not even apologize to him.

Jiang Se took a deep breath and tightened the cap on her bottle again. After calming herself down, she managed to put on a calm expression and sit down slowly.

Pei Jinyang gave her another glance before he bade farewell to Instructor Liu. “I’ve got something to attend to. Catch you later!”

Pei Yi was also a student at the First Academy. He should be in his second year right now, so he did not have to go through military training with the freshmen. Although he had been pampered since his youth, the Pei family’s influence in the military was solid. He would have to enter the military camp to “study” for some time.

Instructor Liu’s training was a piece of cake for him and he treated this as a vacation trip. Naturally, Pei Jinyang would not leave him there to mingle with the freshmen.

However, Pei Yi did not budge. Due to some curious coincidence, he looked at Jiang Se again. This time, he frowned.

She was sitting on the ground silently with her cup in her hand. It was not an elegant pose at all, but she exuded a different air compared to the other students around her. Her temperament was similar to Feng Nan, but Feng Nan would never sit on the ground.

“Let’s go.” Pei Jinyang lifted his leg in preparation to give Pei Yi another kick. He was still looking at Jiang Se, but when he noticed Pei Jinyang’s raised leg, he leaped aside nimbly.

This sudden action of his made Pei Jinyang’s brows shoot up.

“I’m bringing you over. I have something else to do after this.”

Pei Yi could tell that something was off. He wanted to observe Jiang Se for a while longer, but Pei Jinyang could not endure it anymore, so he slapped his back and shoved him away.

This time, Jiang Se had a long break. After the slow finishers completed their punishment, Instructor Liu showed some mercy and gave them another five minutes to rest before telling them to gather again.

The military training was a harsh awakening to the pampered freshmen. When they returned to their dorms at the end of each day, they would sprawl on the bed and refuse to move another muscle.

Soon, September came. When they boarded the bus that would bring them back to the academy, Jiang Se noticed that she seemed to have lost some weight.

“I felt like I’ve gone through hell and back.” Yu Xiaozhou slumped into her seat. She complained softly, “I felt like I was being executed this whole time.”

Many of the girls were much tanner now. They cried as they looked in the mirror. They also wailed about not having the dignity to meet anyone else.

Jiang Se and her roommates did buy sunscreen products, thanks to her reminder. However, the Sun Protection Factor of the products they bought were not high enough, so their skin became a tone darker after the military training.

Cao Shuang looked at Jiang Se with an envious expression. “Sese, I don’t think that you’ve changed much.”

Jiang Se would always carry a bottle of water with her throughout the training sessions so that she could spray some mist on herself when they were having breaks. When the other girls were lying on their beds without wanting to move another muscle, she would insist on applying a mask, cleansing her face, and taking a shower before going to sleep.

The other girls were all thinking about lazing away after the training sessions. At this moment, the contrast between them and Jiang Se was clear. After the military training, it seemed as if she had not changed one bit.

Some of the other girls were now looking at Jiang Se’s skin. It was one thing before they tried to compare themselves to her, but now, in contrast, their own skin seemed much tanner in comparison.

The bus pulled up before the academy gates where their seniors were already waiting for them.

When Jiang Se alighted from the bus, many of the seniors moved closer toward her.

After the official start of the semester in September, Jiang Se’s photo had gone viral on the academy’s website. By then, many of the senior students from the other courses knew that there was a beautiful freshman in the History course.

Jiang Se did not like to be fawned upon. However, her roommates were enjoying special treatment thanks to her. Many seniors were thinking of conquering her through her friends. They buttered up to Yu Xiaozhou and the others by helping them lug their luggage back to the dorm.

Jiang Se managed to catch up with her present situation after two days of rest since the end of the military training.

She thought that History was an unpopular major. However, on the first day she entered her classroom, she noticed that there were many other students from other courses attending the same lecture as well.

It was obvious that the lecturer was seeing his lecture hall being packed for the first time as well. There were also students who came to visit his class, so he was slightly taken aback.

When Jiang Se went back to her dorm after her day of classes, only Yu Xiaozhou and Chen Yuwei were there. Yu Xiaozhou was sitting cross-legged on the bed with a bag of snacks in her hands.

“Sese, your program was all the rage these few days.”

Jiang Se washed her hands in the toilet and wiped her face. When she came back out, she was greeted by Yu Xiaozhou’s statement.

She held her head askance and thought about it before replying, “Really? I didn’t notice.”

Her answer nearly made Yu Xiaozhou shoot spicy sticks out of her nostrils. Her eyes bulged as she exclaimed, “You didn’t notice it?”

Jiang Se did not think that she had said anything that could have solicited such a big reaction from Yu Xiaozhou. The classes she chose were those that she was interested in. She paid serious attention during the lectures as well.

Given the rare opportunity to relive her life as a student in college, this was probably the only advantage of being reincarnated as the younger Jiang Se. She cherished this opportunity very much. Naturally, she would not distract herself or pay attention to anything else.

“You don’t know anything about it, do you?” Yu Xiaozhou tossed her spicy sticks aside. She sprawled across her bed and stared at Jiang Se.

Her spot was the top bed opposite Jiang Se’s. They locked eyes for a moment. Then, she suddenly shrieked, waking Chen Yuwei up.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Yuwei parted her mosquito screen and poked her head out.

Yu Xiaozhou said, “Someone posted a photo of you on the school website recently. The s are now 200 pages long!” She licked her fingers and could not suppress a smile.

“Haven’t you noticed that there’ve been far too many people in your classes lately?”
