"Wow, look at that one, the third one from the right in the last row, look, he's the most handsome!"
"Yes, yes, I also think he's the best-looking. Standing among a group of male soldiers, he's incredibly eye-catching. I wonder how old he is, and if he has a girlfriend..."
"We should ask around later; I heard they'll be studying in our unit for a long time!"
"No, which one are you talking about? Let me see!"
"That one, in the last row, third from the right, that's him! He's so handsome, didn't you spot him immediately? Are you blind?!"
"Who are you calling blind? Oh, you're quite good-looking. You were just facing the wrong direction and someone was blocking your view!"
A group of female soldiers watching the spectacle laughed and joked, without trying to keep their voices down.
Anyone with a discerning ear could tell what they were talking about.
Of course, the person being talked about also heard it.
Zhou Jinglan didn't react at all, not even glancing at him. He was completely focused on Commander Zhou who was speaking. As for what he was thinking, only he knew.
Zhang Yufeng had been observing all along, and he naturally didn't miss the female soldiers' discussions.
This kind of situation is nothing new.
Whenever a new recruit joins the army, anyone who is good-looking and has an outstanding appearance easily becomes the focus of discussion. For example, Meng Yingxin was almost universally known among the male soldiers.
It wasn't until Meng Yingxin married Qiao Shouyan that many male soldiers gave up their treacherous intentions.
After putting away the documents, Zhang Yufeng took advantage of Commander Zhou's speech to brazenly sized up Zhou Jinglan...
Well, judging by her face and figure alone, she's quite good-looking.
However, compared to his good brother Lu Zhengjun, he can only be described as average.
However, how many people like Lu Zhengjun are there in the military?
Forget it, let's just observe for now!
Zhou Jinglan noticed the future instructor's scrutinizing gaze and found it a bit strange. Why was the instructor's gaze lingering on his face for such a long time?
Moreover, he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the instructor's gaze was a bit off, as if... he didn't like him at all. Why was that? This was clearly their first meeting, and his reputation couldn't possibly be that bad, could it?
That's really strange.
Zhou Jinglan didn't take it to heart. After all, he was very confident in his studies. As for pursuing someone... well, he planned to find an opportunity to wander around the medical department first, maybe he could have a chance encounter.
After finishing his speech, Commander Zhou left first.
The atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed after the big boss left.
Zhang Yufeng was not one to put on airs, and although he held the title of instructor, the people who came were all outstanding members of neighboring units, many of whom held similar or even higher positions than him, so there was no need for him to act arrogantly.
"Everyone is here with a learning mission. Let's familiarize ourselves with the environment of the North Playground first, and then we'll warm up with a run. The formal teaching session will begin this afternoon, and several instructors will meet with everyone then," Zhang Yufeng said.
As soldiers, they lived in very similar environments year-round, and Zhang Yufeng quickly became familiar with everyone. He even exchanged a few words with Zhou Jinglan.
It was soon noon, and after everyone dispersed, they prepared to go to the cafeteria.
“Let’s go take a look at their cafeteria and see how it compares to ours,” Yuan Zhengkang joked.
Soldiers' living conditions are rather monotonous and dull, so anything can become a topic of discussion among them.
Food is the most important thing for people. Eating is a very important matter.
Therefore, everyone pays special attention to the cafeteria.
"Come on, let's go together. Commander Zhang just said their stewed vermicelli is really delicious. Let's see if they have it for lunch today!"
"Wait for me!"
"Battalion Commander Zhou, shall we go together?"
To be honest, ever since he joined the army, Zhou Jinglan has been in a state of silent excitement. He tried his best to hide his ecstasy and didn't want anyone to see it, but this excitement persisted.
The thought of being so close to the little goddess made him not feel hungry at all!
What should we eat?
Time is precious, and he doesn't want to wait a moment longer. He had already decided on the direction of the medical department, and now all he wants to do is fly there!
"I'm not hungry, you guys go ahead and eat, I have other things to do—" Zhou Jinglan said impatiently as he left, and the others didn't even have time to say a few more words to him.
"This kid! I don't know where he's been, he's even skipping his meals!" Lu Haibin shook his head with a smile, thinking that young people are really energetic and impulsive.
When he arrived, Zhou Jinglan noticed the location of the medical department, and he walked briskly with his feet.
The closer Zhou Jinglan got to the medical department, the more excited he became.
Standing at the entrance of the medical department, he suddenly realized that his heartbeat was so loud that he could almost hear it himself, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.
But will Little Goddess be on duty today?
He was so excited that he hadn't considered this issue at first, but since he was already here, he figured he might as well try his luck!
Zhou Jinglan moved closer and found that as soon as he entered the medical department, he saw a sign listing the doctors on duty that day, with Qiao Xinruo's photo and name prominently displayed on it.
He stared at the photo for a long time, glancing at it from afar, corresponding to the clinic where the little goddess was located…
The break wasn't long, and Zhou Jinglan wasn't sure what the military doctor's arrangements were. He didn't want to show up during working hours, worried that it might cause trouble for Xiao Shennv, so to be on the safe side, he planned to wait until Xiao Shennv got off work in the evening.
Today is the first training session, so it shouldn't be too late. If he gets here quickly, he should be able to run into the goddess on her way to and from get off work!
The thought of officially appearing before the Little Goddess that afternoon made Zhou Jinglan even more excited.
He will leave temporarily.
At this moment, Qiao Xinruo is in the consultation room.
Xie Ziai went to the canteen to get his meal early so as to avoid the large influx of soldiers after training. He also brought a portion for Qiao Xinruo, who was also on duty that day, and the two of them sat down to eat together.
"What are you looking at?" Xie Ziai noticed that Qiao Xinruo had a mouthful of food in her mouth, but her eyes were fixed on the direction of the medical department entrance. "Is anyone coming to see a doctor here now?"
“No,” Qiao Xinruo looked away and continued chewing, “I just saw someone, and he was actually quite good-looking.”
"What?!" Xie Ziai looked up at Qiao Xinruo in surprise, finding it too strange, and couldn't help but say, "Oh my, who is this person that Miss Qiao says is beautiful? How come I didn't know there was such a person in our army?"
A person with outstanding appearance will never be unknown, at least within their social circle.
