Chapter 102: The Squad Leader's Worries
The school bus drove into the campus, and Jing Xin looked excitedly at everything outside the window - the fresh campus, the neat rows of military students walking in line. Everything she saw was what she had been longing for, and now that distant dream was so close to her.
"What's so fascinating outside? You're completely absorbed." Zhao Fan stood up as he was about to arrive, only to see Ji Xin'an intently staring outside.
"I'm quite curious, I've never seen what military school life is like." Ji Xin'an saw that she had been discovered, but didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and smiled softly.
"You'll be living here for four years, I guarantee you won't have any curiosity left by then." Zhao Fan smiled when he heard her words, thinking she was still an immature little girl.
Ji Xin'an smiled and said, "You mean aesthetic fatigue?"
"Hmm, I suppose you could say that." Zhao Fan was taken aback for a moment, feeling that this phrase really did describe his life in the military academy quite accurately.
"I hope I won't be like that." Ji Xin'an saw him being stunned by his own fresh words, so he didn't speak again.
Zhao Fan rubbed his nose, and it seemed like he had been making a fool of himself in front of Ji Xin'an all this time.
"We're almost there, everyone take your personal belongings and don't pick up the wrong ones or drop them." Zhao Fan turned his head to face the crowd again, at this time he had returned to his usual appearance.
Everyone on the bus started to get busy picking up their luggage, and most of them were taken by parents. Ji Xinan was about to pick it up herself when several enthusiastic seniors came over to help.
"Thank you, seniors, but I can handle it myself." Ji Xin'an smiled and picked one up, while the others were divided between Zou Ze and another person.
Those senior students' jealous eyes seemed to want to stare a hole through Zou Ze and Yao Wenhu.
At this time, the car also stopped at the registration place. After the new students got off the bus, Zhao Fan told everyone about the precautions, and then he left with several seniors again.
Ji Xin'an watched as the school bus left, then turned around and went with them to line up.
On the other hand, the school bus had just driven away when it was stopped by a student wearing military uniform. When the car stopped, he jumped onto the bus in a few steps.
"Ouyang, what took you so long? We've already picked up two carloads of people and are exhausted. You're doing well, I suppose. Who knows where you were off gallivanting, but this is no way for a leader to behave." Gu Song complained as soon as he saw him arrive.
"I wasn't idle, my sister dragged me to receive new students, it was crowded with people one after another. Unlike you guys who are here enjoying the air conditioning and admiring the beautiful girls outside, I spent the whole morning receiving new students on campus and didn't see a single decent-looking one, let alone a beauty." The boy named Ouyang sat down in an empty seat as soon as he got on the bus, without any sense of decorum. If others wore this military uniform, even if they hadn't received military training, they would still look like soldiers, but he looked like a sloppy soldier no matter how you looked at him, despite wearing the same clothes as everyone else.
"Ouyang, this time don't blame us for not calling you to look at the beauty together, it's because you came late and missed the opportunity to see the beauty. We just met a school sister, who is simply stunning, with a face that can topple cities and a figure that can make fish sink and geese fall from the sky. Her temperament is even more impressive than that of a rich young lady, I've never seen such a beautiful girl in my life, and she's actually from our computer science department! Is this not fate? It seems like heaven saw that we're single and pitied us, so it sent a beauty to me." Luo Min didn't make any promises just because she was brought by the department head.
"That's good, Lu Zongmou, today you send your daughter first, another day when you have time, be sure to come to my home." Director Liu bid them farewell politely.
Director Liu politely excused himself and left. The family stayed behind and went in with them.
She went straight to the fourth floor and opened the door of room 436 with her key.
Ji Xinan suddenly felt a sense of eeriness. The dormitory she lived in her past life was 436, and this life, although the school was different, but the dormitory number was still the same.
After glancing at room 438, Ji Xin'an smiled lightly. She remembered that in her previous life, the room next to hers was also 438. Since boys were not allowed into the girls' dormitory, couples would usually save on phone bills by standing outside the window and shouting for their girlfriends. This was a common practice in other dormitories, but one time in room 438, there was an incident involving a girl named Liu Yan. Her boyfriend shouted from downstairs, "Liu Yan of room 438, come down quickly!"
As a result, all the girls in the dormitory stuck their heads out to see which brave warrior dared to scold his girlfriend as a dead three eight. From then on, people from 438 never let others shout at the bottom of the building just to save that little phone bill.
Waking up from memories. Ji Xin'an still found it funny and walked into his 436 with a smile.
On each bed in the room, there were all kinds of military supplies and toiletries that would be used later, but they were all piled up together, and you had to unpack and arrange them one by one yourself, and even make your own bed.
"Everyone find your bed according to the name above, if there's anything missing come and find me." After Luo Min opened the door, she saw that two parents had started taking things and occupying good positions, but they just gave her a cold glance. Although they didn't say it directly, it was enough to make them blush.
"Captain Luo, can you please swap us to a lower bunk? My daughter, Ziyan, has never slept on the top before. What if she falls off?" A woman who looked like a mobile decoration rack saw her daughter's name on the upper bunk sign near the door and immediately became unhappy, putting down her bag on the lower bunk by the window and refusing to leave.
"When everyone in this dormitory has arrived, you can discuss among yourselves. For now, just live according to the names on the beds." Luo Min had seen such situations many times before and didn't think much of it.
The woman reluctantly put things on top of it.
"Mom, how can we get up there? We have to pile quilts on such a high bed. Just thinking about it is scary." But her daughter pouted and looked at the high bed without wanting to go up.
"Alright, mom will help you make your bed. Wait for a while and then you can move down there. From now on, even if you sleep downstairs, you have to be more careful. You've never slept in such a narrow bed before. Even though it's not high, falling onto the floor would still hurt quite a bit." She said as she dragged her heavy body up.
"I know, mom, just stop it." The girl muttered unhappily.
"Fine, if you don't want to say it, then don't." He instead continued to help his daughter make her bed with a smile.
"By the way, mom, I don't have much money on me. Can you leave some more for me?" It was as if he had suddenly remembered something and stood up from the empty bed on the other side.
"There's some in my bag, take it yourself." Her mother said without even lifting her head.
The girl listened and happily went to get money from her bag, and no longer found her mother's nagging annoying.
Luó Mǐn looked and frowned, really didn't know how this kind of student who didn't even dare to get on the bed could stay in military school for four years. She wondered how many of these seven girls would be left by graduation time.
Ji Xin'an just smiled and shook his head after taking a look. He also had an upper bunk bed, and he didn't think much of it since in his past life he also slept on the top. He first put his things into the cabinet, then stepped onto the iron bed frame and easily got up to the top, opened the packaging of the bedding, and made his bed.
