Chapter 214 Meeting an old friend in the present life

Xia Qingying opened her luggage bag, then took out an enamel basin from the washstand, took out the dirty clothes she had changed yesterday from the pocket on one side of the luggage bag, put them in the enamel basin, and prepared to go to the bathhouse to take a bath, change her clothes, and then wash them together.

At this time, the sound of a military bugle came from outside the house. The sound was very loud, almost covering the entire area. It was obviously a bell. Xia Qingying didn't know what the bell meant, and continued to organize her things.

She took out the clean clothes in the luggage bag, hung them one by one in the closet, and then put the luggage bag in the grid under the closet.

After cleaning up, she had nothing to do. She looked at her watch and saw that it was already past 6 o'clock, time for lunch. She had eaten early on the train at noon and was really hungry now.

Walking to the table in the living room, Xia Qingli picked up the meal ticket on it. She had just found it when she checked the room. There were not only meal tickets but also shower tickets.

She guessed that Lu Jingyi had prepared it for her before leaving. She didn't hesitate to take the aluminum lunch box beside her and prepared to go to the cafeteria downstairs to get food.

But as soon as she opened the door, she saw Xiao Liu, who had left not long ago, coming back again with a lunch box in his hand.

Seeing Xia Qinggui about to go out with a lunch box in her hand, Xiao Liu knew that she was going to the canteen to get food, so she handed the lunch box to her and said,

"Comrade Xia, I have brought you the food, please eat it while it's hot."

Originally, Xiao Liu didn't need to help with something like getting food, but she felt bad when she thought about how she had just made the person dizzy while driving. She also thought that this person was introduced to Captain Su by the leader's family, and Captain Su should have taken care of him, but now Captain Su had gone to send the wounded away. As a girl, she was unfamiliar with the place, so she just helped in any way she could.

Comrade Liu was a nice guy. Xia Qingqing thought that when Lu left in a panic, he had specifically called him to take care of himself. After all, he had just arrived here and was unfamiliar with the place, so it was not surprising that he would help.

So she did not hesitate to take the lunch box from Liu and said generously:

"Thank you, I'll give you the meal ticket."

"No, no, I have a lot of meal tickets." Liu said, waving to her:

"You eat first, I'm leaving."

It was getting late, and it was not appropriate for him to stay in the female comrade's dormitory. When the meal was delivered, he prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, I'll give you the lunch box." Xia Qingning said, taking the lunch box back into the house and pouring the steamed buns and vegetables into her own lunch box.

Everyone in the army uses lunch boxes for meals, and each person usually only prepares one. If he doesn't return it to others in time, they may not have a lunch box for their next meal.

"No, no, this lunch box is new, you can keep it for use." Xiao Liu quickly stopped her and said that he would give the lunch box to her.

Xiao Liu was about to leave when Xia Qingning came out with her meal ticket and a new lunch box. People were already helping to pack the meal. She had the nerve to eat for free, so she had to give her the ticket.

She didn't know how much to give, so she took two, one red and one green, and stuffed them into Xiao Liu together with the new lunch box she found while cleaning the room.

Xiao Liu couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it in the end.

After seeing Xiao Liu off, Xia Qingxi returned to the room, took out the chopsticks she had brought with her, sat down at the table, opened the lunch box,

and prepared to eat. The lunch box contained shredded pork with green peppers, braised eggplant, and two steamed buns. Because it was a big pot of rice, the taste was average. It couldn't be said to be delicious, but it wasn't bad either. However, she finished it with the chicken mushroom sauce she brought.

After dinner, Xia Qingxi rested for a while, then took her change of clothes, an enamel basin, and a bath ticket, and went downstairs to find a bathhouse to take a bath.

Although she didn't know where the bathhouse was, Xia Qingxi thought that she would find it as long as she followed the person who was also carrying the enamel basin.

This method really worked. After a while, Xia Qingxing found the bathhouse, paid the ticket, and went in.

There were no partitions in the bathhouse. There were rows of drain pipes installed on the wall. When the faucet was turned on, water would pour down from the head. At first, Xia Qingxing felt a little awkward. After all, it was the first time for her to take a bath in front of others naked. But seeing that everyone was doing the same, the sense of shame gradually faded.

Because there was only soap in the room, Xia Qingxing didn't want to use soap to take a bath, so she didn't take it. Now she could only wash with clean water.

Bathing with water was fine, but washing hair was a bit annoying. No matter how she washed her wet hair, it felt greasy. Just when she was thinking, forget it, just make do with it, a small voice suddenly sounded beside her:

"Do you want to use this?"

Xia Qingling turned around and saw a woman with her face covered by her hair standing under the water pipe next to her, handing her a bottle filled with dark brown viscous liquid.

Because she was naked, in such a situation, when someone suddenly spoke to her, Xia Qingling's first reaction was not to reply, but to cover her chest with her hands.

The woman thought Xia Qingying didn't take it because she was disgusted, so she explained:

"This is soapberry water, I made it myself, you can wash your hair."

Xia Qingying quickly reacted, took the bottle, and said gratefully:

"Thank you."

She didn't dislike it at all. She was worried about not being able to wash her hair clean. This soapberry water is a natural herbal lotion, which is much better than using soap or perfumed soap to wash your hair.

"When you wash, you must close your eyes tightly. If the soapberry water accidentally flows into your eyes, it will be very uncomfortable." The woman continued to remind her in a gentle voice.

"Well, okay, thank you." Xia Qingying continued to thank her, thinking that this girl has a good personality, gentle and helpful.

Xia Qingxing poured some soap liquid into her palm, then handed it back to the woman next to her, rubbed her hands together, and then rubbed it into her hair.

Unexpectedly, this soap liquid is really easy to use. When it is applied to the head, the scalp feels refreshed, and bubbles slowly come out. There is also a faint herbal fragrance, which is very pleasant.

She washed her bath and hair, wiped off the water on her body, changed her clothes, and walked out of the bathhouse with the woman next to her.

The light in the bathhouse is relatively dim. After walking out, the woman can see Xia Qingxing's appearance clearly. She only feels that the girl in front of her has red lips and white teeth, delicate and fair skin, and black and smooth hair. Because she has just finished a bath, she has a natural beauty like a lotus emerging from clear water.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this girl was even prettier than her half-sister Mo Xiaoxiao.

At this time, Xia Qingxi also saw the face of the woman in front of her. For a moment, she was stunned and almost couldn't hold the basin in her hand.

This woman actually looks exactly like Luo Ya, a good friend who lives in the same dormitory with her in real life.

Luo Ya is the classmate in Xia Qingxi's dormitory who likes to read novels, and it was she who discovered this book.

When Luo Ya saw that Mo Chunxiao wrote Xia Qingxi as the tragic ex-wife with the same name and surname in the book, she felt very sorry for Xia Qingxi.

How could Xia Qingxi not be excited to suddenly see a familiar person in a different world, and she was also her good friend? She grabbed the other person's hand in a somewhat inappropriate manner and called out her name eagerly:

"Luo Ya."
