After a month of military training, all the new students had already gotten used to the rules of the military school. Although they were all very happy that the round-the-clock military training had finally ended, they were all “raving” in silence. There was no sign of them putting their arms around each other’s shoulders.
The senior brother squad leader smiled when he saw them. Kiddos, the good days are ahead. Let’s not talk about it first. Let them be happy!
Ye Jian was smiling too. Captain Xia once said that the first year of university was the hardest. If you can get through the first year, then you get through the next four years. If you can’t, you will have to drop out.
In the evening, the surface temperature was still at 34 degrees Celsius. Ye Jian used half a day to erase the criticism that she didn’t participate in the military training and left a deep impression on her classmates.
A loud trumpet sounded. The sun had just risen. The first day of military school has begun.
There were only three girls in Ye Jian’s class. The three girls were staying in the same dormitory. When the first horn sounded, the three girls quickly got up without any delay. Trying to sleep in? Impossible!
They needed to finish dressing, fold their blankets, wash up, and so on in ten minutes. Then, they needed to line up for the morning exercise.
“I’m on duty this week. I won’t wait for you anymore. I’ll leave first.” Ye Jian moved much faster than in the past few weeks. This week, it was her turn to be on duty. She needed to leave early.
Another girl hurriedly said, “Go, hurry! Hey, where’s my belt? I left it here yesterday!”
“What do you mean you left it here? You put it in my cabinet!” The girl from Qing Hai Province rolled her eyes. She took out her roommate’s belt from her cabinet and threw it over. “Xu Wen, can’t you improve your memory?”
There were two girls in the dormitory. One was He Jing from Qing Hai Province, and the other was Xu Wen from the capital city.
Xu Wen’s family had some background. Her father was the designer of a certain satellite launch base in China while her mother was an engineer. She was a typical pampered kid. She took the belt and blinked. She smiled and thanked He Jing. As she buckled her belt, she said to He Jing, “Let’s hurry up and go down to help Ye Jian. It’s only the second week. There are too many people to remember!”
“Don’t worry. Ye Jian isn’t like you. Last week, Qian Yanjun didn’t recognize everyone. She was the one who reminded him.” He Jing fastened her belt and urged her roommate to finish quickly. “Okay, okay. You can buckle it as you go. If you’re late, the entire class will lose a layer of skin with you!”
The morning exercises in the military school had special meaning and strict rules. Being late was not allowed! As long as one person was late, the punishment was not just for one person but the entire class.
Xu Wen exhaled heavily and said expressionlessly, “Our training during this period didn’t just make us lose one layer of skin, but two!”
That was true. They thought that the good days would come after the military training ended. Who knew that… it wasn’t!
He Jing sighed too. Her tough life was still continuing. It was even worse than the military training before. Sometimes, she felt that she made the wrong decision to enter the military school! It was too tiring! Not only was she tired during the day, but she had to go back to the classroom at night to memorize a thick book of rules!
“I’m not going to waste any more time with you. If we’re late, we will only suffer even more!” The sorrow hadn’t ended. He Jing, who was still sober, took a sip of the cold water that was left out last night. She pulled Xu Wen and the two of them walked out of the dormitory together.
The morning exercises in the military school were different from those in senior high and junior high. They would run to the sports field and find their classes on their own.
