Chapter 328 - 318: Return Trip
"It’s all at the bottom of the backpack? What kind of excuse is that?"
It’s downright unreasonable. Does he think I don’t understand... Using such an excuse might not even fool a layman, let alone me. It would have been better to say there was no food left.
Zhuang Jun snuck a glance at Shitou, who looked particularly serious, and didn’t dare say anything more. He pursed his lips in a grievance and lowered his head to quickly place the bowl and chopsticks into the now empty pot. He shouldered his backpack and caught up with the others’ pace.
I wonder if there will be a chance to find something to eat after returning?
At this moment, Zhuang Jun hadn’t even begun to imagine how ruthless Shitou could be.
As soon as they returned to camp, without even a chance to catch their breath, he was reprimanded for his excuses and lackluster performance that morning with potential for improvement, and was promptly sent to the training field to start running laps.
Then, after being trained to near death and finally looking forward to a satisfying meal at mealtime, Zhan Hongtao told him that Shitou had praised his abilities, and from now on, all written reports from the three of them would be his responsibility...
Zhuang Jun nearly coughed up blood with regret for his earlier self-importance.
Of course, those were thoughts for later. At the moment, they consciously kept a little distance behind Shitou and Lu Yun, following them.
As the bright and frequently shunned third wheel, they’d been forced to develop self-awareness. They now deeply understood one truth: in any non-emergency situation, they absolutely should not attempt to disturb the couple’s quiet time with chatter.
