Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1140
The punishment was to run ten laps on the sports ground.
Adam was running with her. Although they didn't talk to each other, his scent lingered in her nose. Their eyes met occasionally, and she didn't feel tired at all. Before she knew it, the ten laps were finished. After crossing the finishing line, Although Anthea panted heavily, it wasn't something that she couldn't stand.
Adam took out a bottle of water out of the blue. He unscrewed it and put the lid back on before handing it to her. "You've just finished running, so don't drink water right away. After you adjust your breath, drink in small sips, otherwise, it'll be a burden to your lungs."
"Okay!" Anthea took over the bottle.
"Are you tired?"
"No! What about you?"
"I'm not tired either." The corner of Adam's lips curled up slightly.
For him, running laps like this was a piece of cake. In the army, people had to carry burdens when they ran, which was a hundred times more difficult than this.
Anthea looked around, but she couldn't throw herself into his arms in broad daylight. She just blinked her eyes and looked at him tenderly. "You've been running with me the entire time, and I don't feel that this is a punishment at all. It's a reward! With you, I don't feel tired at all!"
"I know." Adam's eyes flickered.
Anthea was filled with happiness. "You're so great."
Carter, who was behind him, was speechless.
Having run nine laps with them, he was automatically ignored again!
Adam turned around and patted him on his shoulder, acknowledging his work as a cover story.
Anthea finally shifted her gaze away from Adam. She smiled and said hello, "Carter, you've also been transferred back!"
Carter, who was already used to being treated as a background, immediately put on a big smile. "That's right, sister-in-law!"
Although Carter had changed his way of addressing her when they were in the disaster area, every time Anthea heard this title, she still felt a little shy. Her face, which had turned red because of the intense exercise, blushed even more.
In the afternoon sunshine, she stood against the light. There was a blurry layer of light surrounding
her, making her look like a newly bloomed lotus.
Her blush added a touch of beauty to her, which made one's heart skip a beat.
All of a sudden, Adam felt possessive and didn't want anyone else to watch her. He cleared his throat and said, "Anthea, wait for me at the back of the faculty building. I'll meet you after I grab some lunch from the canteen."
"Yes!" Anthea nodded meekly.
Adam glanced at Carter. "Your job is done here. You can leave now."
Carter was speechless.
That was so ungrateful!
The lunch break lasted for nearly three hours. When it was almost two o'clock, Anthea returned to the dormitory.
She had just been punished to run laps at noon. With the increased exercise, her clothes were soaked with sweat. During military training, she only had one set of camouflage uniforms, which she could only wait to wash at night, but she could change her tank top into a clean one.
Anthea had changed her clothes when Lorelei climbed down from her bed and walked to Anthea with hesitation.
When the dean came to punish Anthea in public,
Lorelei felt both guilty and sorry.
After all, they had been classmates and roommates for a year. Shelby, the newly transferred student, had only given them some chapsticks as a gift, and she was bought over. She was really ashamed and said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, Anthea! Last night when the moderator came, I accidentally let it slip. I thought that she would only tell you off, but I didn't expect that you would be punished...'
"
It was obvious that she was trying to cover up her mistake.
Anthea didn't expose her because she knew it had something to do with Shelby.
University was different from high school. They were one foot into the real world now, and the relationship between classmates wasn't so simple. However, she was surprised that Lorelei would take the initiative to apologize to her, and she was willing to accept it.
Anthea shook her head. "Don't worry about it."
Another roommate also came up and teased her, "Anthea, that was a blessing in disguise! Chief Instructor Chin just happened to test his subordinate, and you were so lucky that you could run with him. I heard that he also gave you a bottle of water! The girls are so envious. To tell you the truth, I am too!" "Ahem, is that so..." Anthea's eyes flickered, but her heart was filled with joy.
Lorelei was still worried. "Anthea, you won't hate me, will you?"
Before Anthea could answer, Shelby, who had been sitting in front of the desk with her back to the others, couldn't take it anymore. She snorted coldly and said in a harsh tone, "There's nothing to hate. It's normal for her to get told off or punished. She broke the rule when she didn't come back last night!"
Shelby regretted it the moment she finished speaking. She had always paid attention to her own image and had always looked as elegant as a goddess.
In the past, no matter how emotional she was, she always had that facade on. She couldn't hold back her anger anymore because she remembered how sorry she looked when she ran laps last morning, but today, Anthea was so lucky that she had run laps with Adam. Shelby was blinded by jealousy.
Anthea's eyes swept over Shelby coldly. She picked up her jacket and put it on.
The atmosphere in the dormitory was a little tense.
Shelby quickly recovered her smile and tried to cover up her gaffe. She took the initiative to talk to her. "Anthea, where are you going?"
Anthea knew that Shelby had been coveting her brother-in-law for a while and had even had plastic surgeries for him
Rivals in love would never see each other eye to eye.
Anthea suddenly smiled, showing her two shallow dimples. She deliberately tried to annoy Shelby and said, "I'll go thank Chief Instructor Chin for his water!"
The smile on Shelby's face froze.
Almost the next second, she sprang up from the chair and quickly chased Anthea out of the dormitory. However, she saw that Anthea didn't go downstairs but turned around and went to the bathroom. When Shelby found out that she had been fooled, she became even more furious!
At eight o'clock in the morning, all the students gathered on the sports ground.
There was no morning exercise today, which was a rare occasion. After breakfast, under the guidance of the instructors, they got on the bus parked at the school gate.
Five SUVS with military license plates led the way ahead, followed by more than 20 buses. The mighty motorcade shuttled through the streets for an hour and a half and a half before arriving at the foot of the mountain at the border of the neighboring county.
The vehicles continued to go up the hill along the national highway.
The dense trees on both sides almost blocked the sunlight. Without opening the windows, they seemed to smell the fresh scent of nature.
Anthea pulled her hat down below her eyebrows. Hugging her shoulders, she felt sleepy as the bus swayed.
They weren't going to be trained in sports ground at school today but in the wild. The specific content was still unknown, but one thing was clear: the instructors didn't see them as students. Instead, they were training them as if they were new recruits in the army. It seemed that the university had spent a lot of effort on this military training.
Anthea yawned.
At this time, her phone vibrated, and she lazily took it out.
When she saw the name "Adam" on the screen, her eyes lit up.
