"In my opinion, he's afraid his lies will be exposed, so he's packing up and leaving on his own. We were teammates, so don't accuse us of being unreasonable. Is there anything you need help packing up? I'll help you take it downstairs."
"Why didn't you just say this earlier? Trying to put on a brave face won't work. If you didn't pass the test, you didn't pass. If you really want to stay, pay more attention to recruitment information next time, and practice more. Maybe you'll have another chance next year!"
These female soldiers weren't exactly bad, but they certainly had a lot of gossip.
It would be strange if anyone who failed the test and heard these criticisms didn't get angry.
But Meng Yingxin didn't care at all.
She didn't even have the desire to explain herself.
From now on, we'll go our separate ways, and we'll rarely even have the chance to meet again. What's the point of explaining?
"It's happening again, all of a sudden, without saying a word, looking down on us..."
Seeing that Meng Yingxin remained silent, the dormitory staff felt uncomfortable again.
Why is it that Meng Yingxin is the one who leaves, and why is she acting so high and mighty? What is she trying to scare?
"Forget it, let her clean it up herself. She doesn't even want to talk to us, why should we bother trying to win her over?"
Meng Yingxin: "..."
Wow, they've really said everything.
Annoying!
Meng Yingxin didn't have much luggage. She had run away from home and only had some basic personal belongings. Later, at the training camp, she didn't buy anything for herself, so she packed very quickly.
As she stepped out of the door carrying her belongings, she told herself this.
From now on, we should always look forward.
From the dormitory entrance to the dormitory building entrance.
Along the way, Meng Yingxin knew that many people were secretly observing her, pointing fingers and gossiping behind her back.
She didn't care, because other people can say whatever they want; she couldn't control them.
Then there's no need to create unnecessary trouble for yourself.
As long as she doesn't take it to heart, these words won't hurt her.
If you don't go out of your way to get close to her, she can pretend she doesn't know anything.
To Meng Yingxin's surprise, it was someone standing outside the dormitory building.
"Commander Qiao!"
Upon seeing Qiao Shouyan, Meng Yingxin smiled and happily ran over with her luggage.
"Why are you here?" Meng Yingxin looked at him with bright eyes, her joy was impossible to hide, and she didn't hide it at all.
Qiao Shouyan felt embarrassed, but Meng Yingxin's joy infected him, and he was happy too.
"I guessed you might be changing dorms, so I thought I'd come and help," Qiao Shouyan said, then naturally took Meng Yingxin's luggage from her hands, weighed it in his hand, and found it very light, much lighter than he had expected. "You only have this much stuff?"
“Yes,” Meng Yingxin said, feigning distress, “I couldn’t even lift it myself. Thank goodness you came to help. I’m so grateful!”
Qiao Shouyan: "..."
Still can't lift it?
The footsteps I took just now, carrying my luggage, were so light and quick.
However, compared to when they first met, when Meng Yingxin stammered and stuttered even when telling a lie, she has clearly made great progress now. At least when she lies through her teeth, she doesn't stutter or blush at all.
"Then, let's go." Qiao Shouyan was secretly delighted.
Judging from Meng Yingxin's reaction, she doesn't reject his approach; in fact, she likes it.
Moreover, he had heard about Leng Yingying's "flirting" with Meng Yingxin from his two younger sisters, and he was overjoyed when Meng Yingxin said that he was young and promising.
Meng Yingxin thought he was young...
She's still a young girl herself!
"By the way, Team Leader Hong told me that there's a design bonus for that gun, and it's quite a lot. You can think about what you want to eat first. Once I get the money, I have to keep our promise. You said you wouldn't go back on your word..." Meng Yingxin quickly settled the matter, not giving Qiao Shouyan a chance to back out.
"A lot of bonus? How much?" Qiao Shouyan asked deliberately.
“Team Leader Hong said it would be around 500 to 1000. This is the first money I’ve earned myself, so you don’t need to save it for me,” Meng Yingxin said domineeringly.
"Okay, then I'll go back and think about it carefully. I won't hold back and you'll regret it later..." Qiao Shouyan joked.
"Don't worry, even if you eat it all up, I won't feel bad. I'm happy to spend money on you," Meng Yingxin said proactively, without being subtle or ambiguous, subtly conveying her "intentions" to Qiao Shouyan in her words.
She observed quietly, and Qiao Shouyan didn't seem unhappy with her words.
The two walked towards their new dormitory, chatting and laughing.
This is the female soldiers' dormitory. Many people know Meng Yingxin, and many are waiting to see her make a fool of herself after the assessment.
As soon as they saw Meng Yingxin and Qiao Shouyan walking together, many people started whispering among themselves.
"Who's that? Is he here to pick up Meng Yingxin? He looks quite handsome... and young. Could he be Meng Yingxin's new lover?"
"Possibly, considering how many male soldiers inquired about her..."
"So what? She's been asked to leave anyway, and it'll all fall apart sooner or later!"
"Hey, look! That soldier's shoulder insignia!"
Qiao Shouyan was wearing his uniform when he tested the gun, and he didn't change his clothes during the test. The shoulder insignia on his uniform clearly marked his identity, and no one in the army could recognize or understand them.
"He's actually a regimental commander! My goodness, such a young and handsome regimental commander, he actually came to pick up Meng Yingxin in person... She's really hooked up with her. Even if she's forced to retire, she might still become a military wife!"
Many people sounded envious, because Qiao Shouyan's conditions were so tempting.
Who wouldn't be envious?
"What do you think their relationship is? Was Meng Yingxin really forced to leave? If she's with the troupe leader, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to stay, right?"
"Yeah, the performance review results came out a while ago. If she wanted to leave, shouldn't she have left a while ago? She's stayed so long, maybe she really did switch departments?"
"Let's go, let's go ask them!"
Several female soldiers mustered their courage and followed Meng Yingxin and Qiao Shouyan.
"Meng Yingxin!" the female soldiers greeted, but their eyes all automatically flew towards Qiao Shouyan's face.
Qiao Shouyan: "..."
He didn't say anything, but stopped walking along with Meng Yingxin.
"What is it?" Meng Yingxin asked coldly.
She was already cold towards these female soldiers from her former training camp, and now that she found them staring at Qiao Shouyan so openly in front of her, her expression and tone became even colder.
How dare her people look at her so brazenly?
As Meng Yingxin asked her question, she subtly took half a step forward, blocking Qiao Shouyan's view.
Qiao Shouyan: "..."
He certainly noticed Meng Yingxin's subtle actions, though he didn't show it on the surface, he was secretly pleased.
