Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1158: A Military Order Must Be Obeyed

Wen Xinya would never be able to guess how Xu Zhenyu felt about her.

After all... she may have known Xu Zhenyu earlier in this lifetime, but she would always keep a distance away from him in order to avoid letting him fall in love with her. Besides... she did not get to spend much time with Xu Zhenyu. Not long after they met each other, Xu Zhenyu headed to Northwest Military Camp and they also contacted each other less frequently ever since then. Having had her fair share of romantic relationships in the past, the rational and pragmatic Wen Xinya would never be able to fall in love at first sight.

Besides, in her previous lifetime, Xu Zhenyu’s love for her was not exactly pure, for it was mixed with feelings of gratitude and sympathy. In this lifetime... everything was different and Xu Zhenyu obviously wouldn’t harbor those complicated feelings towards her.

Although she knew that Xu Zhenyu seemed to have dreamed about his previous lifetime, his attitude towards her did not change just because of the dream. They were still friends who often laughed together and bickered with each other like they had been right from the start.

On top of that, she had never felt that she was a good woman, especially since she had such a disgraceful fate in her previous lifetime. How much better could she be after her rebirth? Hence, she had never felt that she deserved the love of any man, nor did she ever feel like she possessed the ability to make all men fall in love with her.

Most importantly, it was impossible between her and Xu Zhenyu because of his family background.

Due to all the impossibilities, Wen Xinya had never thought that Xu Zhenyu would fall in love with her.

Meanwhile, Xu Zhenyu had suffered a huge blow after finding out that his crush had fallen in love with someone else. To make matters worse, he could not hide from her at all and had to face the woman whom he loved with all his heart but could never win over every single day.

One could only imagine how miserable and agonized he felt.

The outcome resulted in Wen Xinya begin put through a tough time.

Xu Zhenyu glanced at all the freshmen and subconsciously looked away when he caught sight of Wen Xinya. “Today, we’ll be training you to sprint, sprawl, and advance.”

The Quadrupedal movement was one of the toughest aspects of military training, and the quadrupedal movement practices that they had for the past few days had already put them through immense agony.

Xu Zhenyu shifted his gaze onto Wen Xinya and ordered. “Wen Xinya, step forth!”

Wen Xinya frantically stood out from the crowd and walked towards Xu Zhenyu before saluting to him. “Sir!”

Xu Zhenyu said, “You were on medical leave when your peers were going through Quadrupedal movement training the past few days. It’s now time... for me to see the results of the intense training that I put you through.”

Wen Xinya straightened her arms and clenched her fists, thinking to herself, Xu Zhenyu is doing this on purpose. He’s just deliberately trying to make me embarrass myself. The Quadrupedal movement lessons are already over and I’ve only received special training for two days. He knows clearly that I’ve only learned how to position myself correctly.

Yet, he wants me to demonstrate it to everyone now. He’s clearly out to make me embarrass myself.

Xu Zhenyu ordered sternly. “Now, you’re to crawl to the flagged area within five minutes.”

Wen Xinya stood rooted to the ground as her body stiffened.

Xu Zhenyu hollered. “What’s the matter? Do you need me to repeat myself?”

Wen Xinya gritted her teeth and decided to go all out. “Sir, I only started learning about the Quadrupedal movement yesterday. I can’t reach the destination within five minutes.”

Since it was not the time for her to put on a brave front, she chose to tell the truth.

“You’re telling me that you can’t do it even before you gave it a try. My soldiers have to bear in mind that nothing is impossible in this world.”

Xu Zhenyu sounded extremely firm and dominant with an austere expression on his face. With a heavy heart, Wen Xinya reckoned that she finally understood why a soldier’s command was not to be defied.

She clenched her jaw, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Xu Zhenyu frowned slightly and questioned loudly. “Did you hear me?”

Wen Xinya pursed her lips. She would be a fool to think that Xu Zhenyu was just upset at her for hiding her relationship form him. However, she had no idea why he was acting that way.

However, she could not defy his orders since everyone was watching. She answered softly, “Yes!”

Xu Zhenyu suddenly screeched. “Louder, I can’t hear you!”

Wen Xinya was infuriated and her eyes seemed to have started burning. She scanned her surroundings, only to discover that the freshmen were all staring at her with animosity in a gloating manner. She suddenly yelled, “Sir, I heard you.”

Wen Xinya continued to remain still. She could not put her feelings into words as she felt engulfed by feelings of grief.

At this moment, Ye Feiyu stood in front of Xu Zhenyu and saluted. “Sir, I volunteer to crawl in place of Wen Xinya. I’ll reach the flag within five minutes.”

Wen Xinya extremely touched, but she knew that Xu Zhenyu would never agree to it. In order to avoid letting Ye Feiyu get punished, she had no choice but to concede. “Sir, I’ll begin immediately.”

However, that did not stop Xu Zhenyu from punishing Ye Feiyu. He said sternly, “You volunteered without my instruction. Stand at attention beneath the sun for two hours after this afternoon’s training.”

Wen Xinya was extremely exasperated as well. However, there was no way for her to refute because she did not want Ye Feiyu to be implicated further.

She sprawled across the ground and began crawling, trying her best to keep her body as close to the ground as possible.

Before she even covered a meter, Xu Zhenyu hollered. “Use your arms and legs to crawl. Restart!”

Wen Xinya had no choice but to stand up, rush back to the starting line and begin crawling all over again.

This time, when she covered about two meters, Xu Zhenyu barked. “Start over again!”

Wen Xinya suppressed her feelings of indignity and restarted again and again. Finally, she began to carry out the movements smoothly on her seventh attempt. However, she was almost out of energy because of the crawling that she had done beforehand. Hence, she could not arrive at the destination within five minutes and was made to stand at attention for three hours as a form of punishment.

At last, Wen Xinya lagged behind the team during the Quadrupedal movement and was harshly reprimanded by Xu Zhenyu, who even punished her by making her run three rounds around the track.
