"Do you think Meng Yingxin might be some kind of key national secret protection talent?"

"Are you crazy? Her? Is that even possible?"

“Why not?” The female soldier thought about it more and more and felt that her guess was very likely. She analyzed, “There are many secret departments in the army. They don’t usually show up. Moreover, the identities of the people in these departments are kept secret and their positions are not made public.”

"Think about it, why do people who change departments generally refuse to talk about it no matter how much we ask? We've asked her two or three times already, but she just avoids the topic. What's there to hide?"

"Unless... Meng Yingxin went to a special department and has to abide by the confidentiality policy and can't tell anyone, does that make sense?"

"Tch, I think you're overthinking it!" My roommate didn't believe it at all and retorted, "Then why can't it be that Meng Yingxin is just being mysterious? She's not a very good person to begin with, she's very stingy, maybe she's just trying to be mysterious and deliberately not telling us, maybe the new department isn't very good, and she's deliberately not telling us to mislead us and make us think she's very capable!"

"Yes, if you really think that way, that she got into a special department, then you've really fallen into her trap. That's exactly what she's after!"

“I think so too. It’s not easy to get into a special department. You have to have some special skills, right? But I haven’t seen anything special about Meng Yingxin. What makes her qualified to get into a special department?”

"You're right. I also think it's unlikely to be a special department; it's probably just some inconspicuous little department..."

After discussing it for a long time, everyone still felt it was unlikely.

Ultimately, this is the "truth" they secretly desire.

Meng Yingxin can't be too powerful, otherwise how will they be able to sleep?

I have to sit up in the middle of the night and ask, "Why?"

Qiao Shouyan helped carry the luggage to the new dormitory building, an area that was separated from the area where the ordinary soldiers stayed.

"I can only take it this far. You can take it up yourself, is that alright?" Qiao Shouyan said.

The dormitory building is divided into male and female sections, and Qiao Shouyan could not enter without registering.

“No problem!” Meng Yingxin, who had just claimed that her luggage was too heavy and she couldn’t handle it, immediately said that she could now do it.

She took the luggage from him and said to Qiao Shouyan, "Commander Qiao, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work," Qiao Shouyan said.

The two had a fairly good chat on the way.

Not knowing what topic to start, Qiao Shouyan kept talking about firearms and sharing his experience of testing the guns today.

Meng Yingxin was also happy to talk about this. Firstly, it was something she was good at; secondly, she knew Qiao Shouyan was interested; and thirdly, since the two of them were still "unofficial" and it wouldn't be in line with Qiao Shouyan's personality if they didn't talk about "serious matters".

"Then go upstairs. The new dorm might need some tidying up. Finish it as soon as possible so you can get some rest," Qiao Shouyan said considerately.

He was even considering whether he should go and register.

If he works quickly, he might even be able to help Meng Yingxin with the cleaning, but—

This is, after all, a mixed dormitory building, housing people from more than one department, and all of them are from departments with special status. Even if he registers, he will likely be questioned about his intentions for going upstairs.

He really shouldn't do this before he's in a committed relationship with Meng Yingxin.

"Okay, then you should go back early too. Thank you for today!" Meng Yingxin was already very satisfied. She didn't want to cause Qiao Shouyan any trouble, so she waved and turned to run towards the dormitory building. "Commander Qiao, see you later."

Watching her run, Qiao Shouyan unconsciously smiled, his eyes filled with a tenderness he himself didn't even realize.

This mixed-use dormitory building is not mixed by gender, but by department.

Rare talents from many special departments, such as the intelligence group, explosives research group, and weapons research group, mostly live here and do not live with ordinary soldiers.

Because this type of talent is relatively rare and has a high demand for learning, all rooms are single rooms, and everyone lives alone.

The room isn't as big as a typical four-person dormitory room, but it's more private, so you actually have more personal space.

At the end of each floor, there is a separate toilet and washroom.

In conclusion, the living conditions are very good.

Returning to this familiar place, Meng Yingxin was filled with emotion. She reached out and touched the wall as she approached her new dormitory step by step.

She just got her dorm key from the dorm manager downstairs.

"Nothing has changed, it's still the same..."

Meng Ying's eyes welled up with tears.

It wasn't the dormitory she was used to living in in her previous life. The newly assigned dormitory was a different one, but after opening the door, the layout inside was exactly the same, and even everything provided was the same, as if it were the same dormitory as before.

"Great, I'm back."

Meng Yingxin didn't rush to pack. She tossed her luggage aside, stood in the center of the dormitory, and carefully examined every corner, a gentle smile always on her face.

Her heart was gradually filled.

It's reassuring and safe.

The inner order that had been disrupted has, at this moment, returned to its rightful place as I stand here.

Meng Yingxin's smile grew wider and wider.

"This is my space."

"From now on, no one can drive me away, no one can threaten me, and no one can force me to marry a disgusting old man!"

After saying that, a tear rolled down Meng Ying's cheek. She smiled and wiped it away with her hand, not caring.

After expressing her feelings, she picked up her luggage, which she had left aside, and began to pack simply.

All the basic necessities were provided, so she didn't need to buy anything else. She went directly to the water room at the end of the floor, filled a basin with water, rolled up her sleeves, and started cleaning.

It's not dirty here, it's just that no one lived here before, so there's some dust accumulated. It can be cleaned up.

Meng Yingxin didn't have much luggage, and it didn't take her long to put everything away.

Looking at her bright new dormitory, she lay down on the bed and stretched comfortably.

Very good.

Very good!

Since everyone lives alone, there's no need for dormitory supervisors to check rooms—after all, the people living here are quite special. For example, sometimes when research groups are busy with their work, they don't even have time to go back to their dorms, so they just set up a cot in the department and make do. Checking rooms would be pointless.

Therefore, Meng Yingxin could safely take some books out of the weapon space and put them in her dormitory, making it convenient for her to check them at any time.

Entering and exiting the space has also become much more convenient and safer.

Meng Yingxin wasted no time. After resting for a while, she took out the blueprints and began to work on drawing a new design.

After all, Team Leader Hong had given her the position of senior firearms designer, so she had to live up to the title of "senior." The best way to do so was to let her design drawings speak for themselves, which was better than anything else.
