On this day, there were always people harassing Huang Xiaofei, but fortunately, Murong Xue was by her side. Those people didn't dare to be so blatant because fights were not allowed in military camps, let alone bullying.

What Murong Xue was more concerned about was that Xiaosi hadn't spoken with Mr. Mo since the day before yesterday. The instructor's expression was getting colder and colder, and naturally, training was getting stricter. No one dared to complain.

If Xiaosi really let it go, she would be relieved, but Xiaosi smiled less and less every day, and she didn't even want to say anything later. Murong Xue and the other four of the Gang of Five were extremely worried.

Today after lunch, Xiaosi said that she felt uncomfortable and wanted to go back to the dormitory. Murong Xue and her friends looked at each other, their eyes full of worry and concern. After Huang Xiaofei left, they went to a quiet place to discuss it.

"Do you have any good ideas to help Xiaosi?" Laoda asked first.

Murong Xue frowned. "The problem lies with Mr. Mo. It seemed that Xiaosi saw him kissing another girl, and then she asked him whether they could be friends, but Mr. Mo refused. So it had nothing to do with Xiaosi at all. Most importantly, it lies with Mr. Mo. To be honest, I really don't know what he is thinking. Obviously, he was worried about Xiaosi, but why did he break her heart?"

"He is concerned about Xiaosi? How do you know?" Xiaosan asked in doubt. Mr. Mo pulled a long face these days. There was no sign that he worried about Xiaosi.

"A couple of days ago, Mr. Mo approached me and asked about Xiaosi. At that time, he looked very worried about her." Murong Xue said.

"What? You should have told us earlier." Xiaowu was disgruntled. Recently, Xiaoliu and Xiaosi got along so well that she was a little jealous.

Murong Xue shrugged apologetically. "You also saw the situation of Xiaosi. I was afraid that she would collapse if I mentioned it. You see. I’m out with it now."

After thinking for a long time, Xiao’er said, "Maybe we should start with Mr. Mo."

The rest came closer, eyes shining, and asked in unison, "How to start?"

Xiao’er flinched. "How? I don't know. You should..."

"Then why did you bring it up?" Xiaowu gave him a slap on the back.

"I think it will work. What are Mr. Mo’s feelings towards Xiaosi? Let’s sound him out." Xiaosan put on a cheeky smile.

"Out with it." Laoda couldn't wait to hear more.

"Men tend to lose their composure only when there is a real crisis. Let's find someone to court Xiaosi in front of Mr. Mo. If he likes Xiaosi, he can't stand it for long. If he doesn't, then we can only let Xiaosi leave it alone. Otherwise, there’s no telling what will happen if Xiaosi goes on like this." Xiaosan said.

Murong Xue thought for a moment and said approvingly, "I think it's OK. Who should we look for?" Murong Xue glanced at Xiaosan.

Laoda was too serious to please women. Xiao’er was too quiet and not threatening. Only Xiaosan was left. A line of people all stared at him...

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiaosan took two steps back in fear.

Though Xiaosan protested, they decided it would be him in the end. Of course, it was kept secret from Xiaosi. It was because Xiaosi cared too much about Mr. Mo. If she knew it, either she would oppose it, or Mr. Mo would easily discover it was a scheme.

From then on, Xiaosan looked for every opportunity to attract the attention of Xiaosi. For example, he always prepared water for her, held her around her shoulder during the break, told jokes or something, and helped her wipe her sweat with a paper towel. Xiaosi asked him several times what was wrong with him. Xiaosan just smiled, saying that they agreed to take turns to give her warmth, and it was his turn during the military training.

All of them had been getting along well, and Xiaosi also knew that they were concerned about her, so she didn't think much. Thanks to Xiaosan's efforts, Xiaosi’s spirits picked up, and sometimes she would talk and laugh with them.

However, Mr. Mo pulled a long face all day long, and his temper seemed to be getting worse. Even students with heavy breathing would be scolded by him, especially Xiaosan. Mr. Mo always looked for various reasons to let Xiaosan do more practice. But every time after the practice, Xiaosan got clingier with Xiaosan at rest time.

The happiest people were the other four onlookers. Mr. Mo was clearly jealous. They exchanged a knowing smile and then asked Xiaosan to do more. During a rest, Xiaosan gently kissed Xiaosi on her cheek in front of Mr. Mo.

To them, the kiss didn’t mean anything as they regarded each other as family members, and Xiaosi thought it was just a joke.

That night, the instructor went to Murong Xue's dormitory and said to Xiaosi, "Come out with me!"

However, Xiaosi said in a cold voice, "Did I make a mistake? Why did you come to find me after the training?" She did not move.

Murong Xue was delighted. Mr. Mo really liked Xiaosi, and now he couldn’t bear it anymore. But from the way it looked, Xiaosi intended to ignore him. Was she so desperate that she didn't want to talk to him?

Other students in the dormitory all looked at both of them. Although they didn’t dare to make any noise, their eyes were saying that they wanted to know more.

Frowned, Mr. Mo took Xiaosi's hand and walked out. Murong Xue wanted to catch up. But on second thought, Murong Xue thought Mr. Mo wouldn’t hurt Xiaosi. Besides, the two of them may have a lot to say, so she’d better not disturb them.

At this time, Huang Xiaofei came over and whispered to Murong Xue, "Xue, I feel that there’s something going on between Mr. Mo and Tan Xiaoye."

Tan Xiaoye was the real name of Xiaosi. Murong Xue usually called her Xiaosi, but other students called her by her real name.

"No, don't gossip. The instructor just has something to say." They’d better keep it secret.

Huang Xiaofei bowed her head and fell silent for a while before saying, "Xue, you’re so close to Tan Xiaoye."

Murong Xue smiled. "Of course, we are good friends!"

"What about me? Are we friends?" Huang Xiaofei asked.

"Sure. We are friends. Don't you think so?" Murong Xue asked.

"I know we’re friends." Were they just friends instead of good friends? Huang Xiaofei was slightly disappointed.

"Go wash up and go to bed!" Murong Xue said while tidying up her uniform.

"..."

Xiaosi didn't come back that night. Murong Xue wanted to have a look outside several times, and she was up almost all night. Finally, it was dawn, and she quickly washed up and ran to the training ground. Before leaving, she just said a few words to Huang Xiaofei with whom she always set off together.

Seeing Mr. Mo and Xiaosi on the training ground, Murong Xue let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that they patched things up according to the silly smile on Xiaosi’s face. Anyway, Xiaosi was happy. She wondered what happened to them last night. Based on their expressions, Murong Xue thought something nice happened.

She gave the other four a knowing smile and stood at attention.

Today, Mr. Mo was extremely gentle and nice. Compared with a few days ago, they were in a paradise now. Though puzzled, all the students were in a transport of delight.

During the break, some students were gossiping in a low voice.

“What’s wrong with Mr. Mo today?”

“Hope that he goes on like this the following days.”

"He finally got his conscience back. Maybe he felt bad about being so cruel to us in the last few days and wanted to make it up to us."

“OMG! The gentle Mr. Mo is so handsome.”

“Stop drooling! But he’s indeed good-looking.”

“...”

“But it had nothing to do with you.” Murong Xue thought. After all, he already had a girlfriend. Didn't you see Mr. Mo’s loving eyes at Xiaosi? The thought of it gave Murong Xue goosebumps.

Xiaosi was so happy, so it was worth it.

Then Xiaosi completely forgot about her friends. She had meals with Mr. Mo every day and stopped chatting with them after training. Murong Xue was speechless. Was it the so-called hoes before bros?

Murong Xue noticed Huang Xiaofei kept watching Xiaosi and Mr. Mo. She didn’t know what Huang Xiaofei was thinking, so she asked, "Xiaofei, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing. The instructor and Tan Xiaoye get along so well, and I really envy them." Huang Xiaofei said in a low voice.

Murong Xue smiled and thought that she was just envious of the instructor’s love for Xiaosi. "You don’t need to envy them because you will always find someone who cares and loves you in the future."

Huang Xiaofei smiled sheepishly. "I'm so ordinary. No one will like me." Her voice was lonely.

"You’re not ordinary, and I like you very much!" Murong Xue said with a smile. Huang Xiaofei was just a little shy, but she was gentle and meticulous. These were so many strengths of Huang Xiaofei.
