When Liu Yanran entered the dormitory, it was already packed with people. Aside from Xie Xuan and Tang Xiaoxiao, she still didn't know the names of her roommates. However, that afternoon, two other roommates were present. Although they weren't familiar with each other, Liu Yanran smiled and nodded to them out of courtesy.
Just then, a tall, slender woman with a neat, student-like hairstyle broke the silence, displaying a particularly cheerful and generous demeanor. She took the initiative and said, "Since we're fortunate enough to be together here, and everyone in the dorm is here, why don't we get to know each other? Let me introduce myself. My name is Gao Yuan, I'm from Harbin, I'm 23 years old, and I'm so happy to meet you all!"
Hearing this, Liu Yanran muttered to herself: "So this classmate is from the Northeast? No wonder he's so hospitable." After all, people in the Northeast are known for their straightforwardness.
Then, another equally tall and slender girl introduced herself. She smiled softly and said, "My name is Feng Na. I'm from Liaoning. I just turned 21 this year. I'm so happy to be roommates with you all."
With these two people leading the way, the rest of the group gradually relaxed. Then one of them said, "Hello everyone, my name is Meng Xin, I'm 19 years old, and the one standing next to me is my sister, Meng Yao, who just turned 16. We're both sisters from Zhejiang Province!" So these were the two women Liu Yanran had met that afternoon! I hadn't looked closely then, but now, taking a closer look, I realized they looked quite similar. The elder sister, Meng Xin, looked gentle and serene, like a lotus flower emerging from water; the younger sister, Meng Yao, was a bit shy and timid, perhaps due to her young age.
Just then, another girl with a face reminiscent of Deng Wanjun stood up, ready to introduce herself. Huh? The more I look at them, the more they seem alike. Could it be that, as I'd imagined, this girl is a close relative of Deng Wanjun's?
As expected, the girl said in a very confident manner, "Hello everyone, my name is Deng Wanru, I was born and raised in Beijing, and I am now 20 years old. I came here at the request of my cousin Deng Wanjun, who asked me to always pay attention to and guard against certain people who rely on their power to bully others." After that, she glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao seemingly nonchalantly.
Witnessing this scene, Liu Yanran couldn't help but admire her future fourth sister-in-law, whom she had yet to meet. She had even sent her own sisters to protect her! Well, if that was the case, she fully supported this marriage! When the opportunity arose, she would dress Liu Guoxing up beautifully and personally present him to Deng Wanjun.
With a smile on her face, Liu Yanran introduced herself to everyone gracefully: "Hello everyone, my name is Liu Yanran, and I come from the beautiful city of Suzhou. I am just 19 years old this year. I am very happy to meet you all here. I sincerely hope that we can live in harmony in the future!" However, there are always some people who seem to be particularly keen on boosting their sense of existence value.
A harsh voice rang out, "Oh no, that's not right. I heard you took the exam in the border area before. How come you're from Su City now?"
Faced with such rude questioning, Liu Yanran did not get angry, but responded calmly: "Isn't it possible that my two brothers are soldiers stationed on the border, and I followed them to live in the army, complete my studies, and take exams there?"
Before he finished speaking, the arrogant voice rang out again: "Huh, it's really interesting nowadays. Small officials the size of sesame seeds actually have the nerve to call themselves officers! Let me tell you, I'm Tang Xiaoxiao, only 17 years old, but I live in a large compound in the capital! And my uncle is even more extraordinary, he is an upright regimental commander! Maybe the soldiers who took us to participate in military training this time are under my uncle's command!"
Look at her haughty demeanor, as if she's afraid others won't know about her so-called "distinguished background." Alas, these ignorant people can't stop flaunting their superiority.
Liu Yanran wasn't the least bit polite to her. She feigned surprise and exclaimed, "Oh my! So Tang is actually an orphan! She's been living with others since she was little, with her aunt and uncle. So pitiful..."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned extremely ugly. She widened her eyes and angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about! My parents are alive and well! It's only because my aunt loves me so much that she brought me by her side and took care of me since I was a child."
However, Liu Yanran completely ignored Tang Xiaoxiao's explanation and continued sarcastically, "Oh? Really? Then it seems you've truly failed your aunt's kindness! People who don't understand the situation would probably think you have no manners and are simply bringing shame to the entire military compound!"
It must be said that some people are just so ungrateful. The more people give them face, the more they become insolent and unruly. At this moment, Liu Yanran thought to herself, people like this are not worth even a little kindness! Meanwhile, Tang Xiaoxiao was trembling with anger, her lips quivering and unable to utter a single word.
"Oh, by the way, I must solemnly introduce my two brothers to you. My eldest brother is Liu Guoqiang, and he's already thirty-two years old this year. He's a full-fledged regimental commander! And my second brother, Liu Guodong, although slightly less impressive, is only twenty-nine and currently only a deputy regimental commander. But this is also the honor he earned through countless bloody battles and scars! Perhaps in the eyes of you so-called 'connected people', they are just insignificant little characters, but to us, they are heroes who stand tall and proud! So, please give them at least some respect. If you can't show respect, then please don't slander them wantonly."
Understandably, defaming and slandering soldiers at this moment is a grave offense! If Tang Xiaoxiao persists in her ignorance and foolishness, Liu Yanran will undoubtedly step forward and avenge her. After all, her own evaluation is irrelevant, but she will not tolerate anyone slandering those warriors who have personally experienced the brutal baptism of war. Only by witnessing the thrilling realities of battlefields can one truly appreciate the endless sacrifices and dedication hidden behind peaceful times. Therefore, Liu Yanran will never allow anyone to slander these most beloved individuals.
At this moment, Xie Xuan quickly stepped forward and said, "I'm truly sorry, Liu Yanran. On behalf of Tang Xiaoxiao, I sincerely apologize to you. I will instruct the elders at home to discipline her strictly in the future to prevent her from causing unnecessary trouble to everyone. Let me introduce myself. My name is Xie Xuan. I'm just eighteen years old and from Beijing. I'm also a proud military family member, and I sincerely admire and respect every brave and fearless soldier."
Xie Xuan wasn't often at home, having always lived with her grandparents. Seeing her cousin so ill-mannered, she couldn't help but wonder: Could this be the result of her mother's careful upbringing? If things continued like this, it would sooner or later spell trouble for the entire family! With this in mind, Xie Xuan secretly resolved to find a way to change the situation...
