I Don't Want To Reincarnate

Chapter 20: You're Ruining My Hair

That afternoon, the students had official military training. Since it was the first session, there were bound to be accidents and mishaps - heatstroke, anemia, and the like. Public Administration Class 2 also had issues with the session.

There was a boy named Zhu Chenglong whose hair was longer than a typical boy's. An experienced instructor would not care about such a small matter, but the instructor who led the team training this year was a young man.

The young instructor criticized Zhu Chenglong for his hair, but Zhu Chenglong was not bothered. The latter thought to himself, 'The older instructor didn't even say anything. What right do you have to care about my hair?'

This only made the young instructor feel challenged. He angrily found a pair of scissors and said that he would personally cut off Zhu Chenglong's hair.

Chen Hansheng was not at the scene when the incident happened. He and Yang Shichao had gone to the convenience store to buy cigarettes. When they came back, the dispute had already happened.

The classmates had never witnessed such an incident. They either watched foolishly or stood with Zhu Chenglong to support him. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Hu Linyu was ready to report to their professor and the young instructor's superior. But she bumped into Chen Hansheng who was on his way back.

"Why are you panicking?" asked Chen Hansheng.

Hu Linyu briefly explained the matter. Just as she was about to leave, Chen Hansheng reached out to stop her. The idiot Yang Shichao thought that Chen Hansheng was flirting with a woman, so he also blocked Hu Linyu's way.

"Chen Hansheng, now is not the time to joke around. Hurry up and get out of my way," said Hu Linyu anxiously.

"What are you planning on doing? Report to Professor Guo and the young instructor's superior? Maybe get Zhu Chenglong and that young instructor punished? This matter should be resolved in a subtler manner, behind closed doors."

Chen Hansheng left her and went into the crowds. "What on earth is happening?"

The young instructor turned to look at the student who spoke. He was dressed in military training uniform, tall, and had a cigarette in his mouth. He looked like a ruffian.

"Who are you?" asked the instructor with a frown.

Chen Hansheng threw the cigarette butt away. It was obvious that the young instructor disliked smoking. Since he had come to solve the problem, it'd be best that he wasn't part of the problem.

"Hello, Instructor. My name is Chen Hansheng, a student of Public Administration Class 2."

Chen Hansheng first revealed his identity and then said, "I have a suggestion. How about we put the scissors down before we speak so that we don't accidentally stab ourselves or others?"

Although the young instructor did not mean to hurt anyone, it was easy for people to lose control of their emotions when they were angry. The teeth marks on Chen's arm were still there. Who would have thought that it would be from Xiao Rongyu?

The young instructor had a strong sense of self-esteem. He glanced coldly at Chen Hansheng and said, "Boys are not allowed to grow long hair during military training. I just wanted to help him cut some length off!"

The most valuable part of Zhu Chenglong's body was probably his hair. When he heard that, he was also angry. "I won't cut it. What are you going to do about it?"

"Why are you arguing? How about you shut up first?" Chen Hansheng turned his head and scolded Zhu Chenglong impolitely.

Zhu Chenglong decided to respect Chen Hansheng as he kept his head down without saying another word.

First, it was because Chen Hansheng had treated them to a meal, so he owed the latter a favor. Second, Chen Hansheng had a way with words. Zhu Chenglong might not be afraid of the young instructor, but Hansheng's charisma intimidated him.

Now that Zhu Chenglong had turned silent. Chen Hansheng continued to persuade the instructor but with a slight difference in tone this time.

"Instructor, you were invited by the school to train our bodies and spirits. You have your own tasks and responsibilities. If your supervisor saw you holding a pair of scissors, what would he think?"

The young instructor realized how impulsive he had been. If the supervisor saw this scene, he would definitely be criticized.

However, he did not pass the scissors to Chen Hansheng. He quietly put them in his pocket.

It did not matter to Chen Hansheng where he put them. As long as they were not in his hands, it was fine. Now that both Zhu Chenglong and the young instructor had calmed down a little, it was time they addressed the issue about the hair.

Chen Hansheng didn't have any issues with a guy having long hair. His hair was pretty long, and the women he liked such as Shen Youchu and Xiao Rongyu both had long black hair.

In his fantasies, once he and Shen Youchu had become lovers, they would embrace and she would shyly say with a chuckle, "You're ruining my hair." Ah, what a beautiful moment.

He quickly came back to reality and said to the young instructor with a straight face, "You said that long hair is not allowed, but according to which law? Which law says that university students must have a crew cut during military training?

"If it had been stated in black and white, then I, Chen Hansheng, guarantee that I will be the first to implement it!"

Chen Hansheng took off his hat, revealing his neatly combed hair. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

The young instructor choked for a moment. It was true, there was no explicit rule regarding hair length. He had only said those words earlier to establish his authority with his students.

Seeing that the young instructor did not respond, Chen Hansheng softened his attitude and said, "Instructor, how about this? We keep our hair hidden in our hats during military training to ensure that our beauty and unity can still be maintained. What do you think?"

The young instructor started to relax. Chen Hansheng struck while the iron was hot and stepped in front of Zhu Chenglong to whisper in the latter's ear. "Chenglong, quickly apologize to the instructor and let the matter go."

"Why should I? I wasn't the one who caused trouble." Zhu Chenglong was not happy.

Chen Hansheng's attitude towards Zhu Chenglong was much more casual. "Why do you have so many f*cking problems? What if the instructor gives us a hard time during military training? Are you going to take responsibility for it? Besides, you don't have to be too sincere. Just be respectful and we can all move on with our lives."

Zhu Chenglong hesitated for a moment and in the end, he walked over and perfunctorily said, "Instructor, I'm sorry."

Chen Hansheng turned to the young instructor. The former had already done so much to ensure the matter was resolved without jeopardizing the dignity and safety of all parties. So a smart person should know what to do with such an apology.

As expected, after the young instructor was silent for a moment, he suddenly shouted, "Students of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences' Public Administration Class 2, line up! We're starting your military training now!"

The young instructor's behavior indirectly suggested that the matter was over and everyone's long hair was saved.

"Chen Hansheng!"

However, just as Chen Hansheng was about to return to the team, the young instructor suddenly called out to him.

"You smoked during military training and violated school regulations. Give me ten laps around the field, now!"

"F*ck."

What a petty instructor. Was he punishing Hansheng just because he couldn't punish Chenglong?

However, if Chen Hansheng argued back, the young instructor would lose it and who knew what he would do then?

'Running ten laps can calm the instructor's anger, and I can still maintain his dignity and the stability of the military training at the same time. It's not a loss!'

Chen Hansheng weighed things in his head and decided to oblige. However, he did not want to run alone.

"Instructor, I would like to report that Yang Shichao also smoked just now. How about five laps for him?"

Yang Shichao had initially been smiling cheekily while standing in line, thinking that he had gotten away with it. But when he heard Hansheng report to the young instructor, he was dismayed.

"No!" The young instructor immediately rejected Hansheng's proposal. "If Yang Shichao steps out of line, he will also be punished to run ten laps."

On the stuffy and windless sports field, two boys in military training uniforms were sweating profusely as they ran.

"F*ck you, Chen Hansheng, why did you drag me into this?"

"It's too boring to do this alone. I'll treat you to a bottle of soda for dinner."

"I don't want to drink soda, I want to drink Red Bull!"
