CHAPTER 290: CHAPTER 166: FINALLY MEETING (PART 3)

Xing Nong rolled her eyes, "I know, I just found out when she got into S University, I was a bit angry, but after thinking about it, I realized, am I that unreasonable?"

"Luoluo, Xing Nong, Yaoguang, finally found you guys. Fu Mo and I headed right here after getting off the plane, fearing we’d miss you."

After transferring schools, this was their first reunion. Tang Luo was very excited and didn’t even care that his sweat-soaked clothes were uncomfortable—he just went up and hugged everyone.

"Let go, let go, it’s so uncomfortable..." Xing Nong swatted at Tang Luo with disgust.

"Tangtang has been talking about you guys all the way here, just forgive her."

Xing Nong chuckled, "Fu Mo, man, you’re really something, flying all the way to escort a beauty. Are you planning to fly to Beijing tonight?"

Fu Mo shook his head helplessly, "When will your mouth ever stop being so cutting? That would just not be you. Oh right, who are these two?"

After Luo Ye reintroduced everyone, the now calmer Tang Luo playfully looked at Xing Nong, "Pretty, huh?"

"Definitely!" Xing Nong tilted her little face up, looking smug as could be.

...

When Luo Ye Xing Nong Yaoguang and Pumpkin Tang Luo and others returned to their cars, Qi Qianqian and her child were no longer there, and Ye Qingzhu was checking a list with the two soldiers. Noticing the group arriving, she glanced at them expressionlessly and continued with her work.

"Girls look so good in military uniforms!" Xing Nong muttered to Luo Ye, "But a smile would surely make them look even better."

Luo Ye teased, "When you put one on, you should keep smiling vigorously, like a fool."

"You don’t have to push me away like that, you heartless thing, ow... ow..."

"Sorry, sorry, I couldn’t stuff it in."

As they approached their seats, Xing Nong nearly tripped over a snakeskin bag left in the aisle. A skinny girl quickly stood up to apologize.

"It’s nothing, it’s my fault for not watching my step." Luo Ye curiously lifted the heavy bag, "Did you carry this all by yourself?"

The girl hurriedly explained, "Yes, my dad wanted to come and see me off, but a bus ride costs money, and I still have younger brothers and sisters who need to go to school, so we need to save."

"Dad? What era is that term from?"

"From the era of my grandpa fighting the ’ghosts’!"

"..."

Laughter erupted on the bus, and the girl nervously twisted the hem of her shirt, her face reddening. Xing Nong glared at the giggling cadets, "What’s so funny? It’s a lot nicer than those who say ’daddy’ and ’mommy’."

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" A fashionably dressed girl stared unhappily at Xing Nong. (Why not fashionable Nirvana? Fashionable and fashionable are completely different; everyone understands.)

Xing Nong glanced at her, "Are you one of the ’daddy’ ’mommy’ callers? Really sorry, I was originally referring to Princess Rong from our class as an example, oh, you don’t know her, she’s a celebrity at our school, a great student, her dad’s a big official, you can totally think I’m being jealous."

"Yeah, like you’re jealous!" The girl gave her a sidelong glance and sat back down.

Luo Ye gave Xing Nong a speechless look. This girl was taking full advantage of the leeway given by Lu Lu, feeling great, ready to take on anyone who came at her.

"Hehe..." A certain Nong smiled contentedly and sat down, "Luoluo, we agreed, okay? We’re taking a break together in the future, take me out to have fun."

"What about me?" Mo Yaoguang complained with dissatisfaction, "Are you just going to abandon me like that?"

"Right, that is a problem, it would be nice if Tangtang could also pass the exam and come here, then we could make two pairs," Xing Nong said with a conflicted expression.

"Are you guys all from the same place?" A boy sitting in front of them curiously turned around.

"Yeah, where are you from?"

The boy grinned innocently, "I’m from Mongolia, my name is Zhang Pingyuan."

Xing Nong joked, "Shouldn’t you be called Zhang Caodi instead?"

"True, my grandpa named me, so you can’t blame me." The boy scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Hey, what’s your name?" Xing Nong poked the frail girl who almost tripped her.

The girl’s voice was soft, "I’m Li Qing."

"With your weight, did you manage to pass the physical exam?" A boy next to her couldn’t help but butt in, "It seems a bit iffy to me."

"Just barely made the cutoff."

The boy sighed, "Then you’re quite lucky. I had a classmate who was 0.5 kilograms short and got sent back. Another one tested positive for hepatitis B and had to go back too. It’s really not easy getting into a military academy."

"You should think of it this way, even if you can’t join a military academy, finding out early about your health issue and getting treatment is also a blessing in disguise," the fashionable girl interjected.

While everyone was chatting, Luo Ye scanned the bus. Out of forty-something people, there were less than ten girls. Cough, it seems there’s a scarcity of monks!

...

After more than an hour’s drive, the bus finally stopped at the entrance of GF. Several students with motion sickness hurriedly got off and doubled over to retch.

Just as everyone stepped off the bus, a BMW screeched to a halt at the entrance, and a robust young man around eighteen or nineteen got out from the driver’s side, drawing everyone’s attention. Those who were busy retching also stopped.

"What are you doing?" Captain Xiang Mingliang of Team 5, the middle-aged military man who praised Luo Ye earlier, walked over with a frown.

"I’m Wu Zetian, a new recruit here to report," the young man leaned against the car, winking at the girls in the queue.

"Wu Zetian?"

Laughter erupted from the group, with a boy shouting, "Buddy, why not name yourself Li Shimin? Or Zhao Kuangyin would do too."

The young man’s face showed even more pride, "Jealous, huh? Mine is the ’Ze’ from Mao Zedong’s name, Wu Zetian, get it?"

Captain Xiang’s brows furrowed even tighter, "This is a military academy, not a thug shelter. Drive your car away now, and, standing and sitting properly are the basic requirements for a soldier."

"Yes, I’ll drive away now!" The young man didn’t fuss further and obediently drove away.

The advantage of being picked up by a car is that the instructors can take the students directly to the dormitory. Luo Ye, Xing Nong, Yaoguang, Li Qing, and Yao Juanjuan (the fashionable girl) were alloted to the same dorm. Ye Qingzhu led them to the dormitory and pointed to two girls who had arrived earlier, "Yu Na, Bai Qingchu." Then she turned to introduce Luo Ye and the others, pausing slightly when she called Luo Ye’s name. Luo Ye noticed her expression and guessed a bit of the reason.

"All right, everyone, hurry up and sort out your luggage. Line up in the dormitory corridor in an hour and a half to receive your military uniforms. Clean up this afternoon, and the day after tomorrow is the graduation ceremony. After that, we’ll start a three-month military training.

During the military training, students are not allowed to take leave or meet anyone, sort out any issues within these two days, got it?"

"Understood!"

Everyone answered in unison. Luo Ye was observing Ye Qingzhu subtly. She’s Ye Xuan’s cousin and didn’t resemble him much; she had fine black eyebrows, a straight nose, healthy wheat-colored skin, an oval face, and was about 176 cm tall. She had a cold and aloof look in her eyes.

When Ye Qingzhu’s gaze swept over, Luo Ye quickly looked away. She had a feeling that Ye Qingzhu held a bit of antipathy towards her, or perhaps she had been prejudged by others?

Ah, what a misunderstanding, she just hoped that Ye Qingzhu wouldn’t be too troublesome. In principle, she didn’t want to be at odds with Ye Xuan’s relatives since they had helped her a lot, and the Ye Family had been quite kind to her.

"If you have any questions, come to office 206 in building 2 to find me or Captain Xiang. If nothing unexpected happens, Captain Xiang and I will accompany you all as you grow," Ye Qingzhu finished speaking and left without looking back.
