Chapter 439 She didn’t dare to ask, fearing that the truth would be revealed



In the next few weeks, Xia Chujian discovered that these aristocratic students really seemed to have stopped moving.

They no longer targeted her, or any civilian-born pilot.

Even Lin Xiaoxiao, who was once a thorn in Ji Nabi's side, is now too lazy to pay attention to them.

Everyone spent three weeks of study in a tense and silent atmosphere.

Xia Chujian’s military achievements came down.

She was promoted from second lieutenant to first lieutenant.

According to Kang Shanxing, not only her salary but also her welfare benefits were raised by one level.

However, she still owed the Special Security Bureau a large sum of medical bills, so her salary had not yet been deposited into her account.

But Xia Chujian was not in a hurry.

She planned to go to Kang Shanxing to take on the mining task after the training here was completed.

I vowed to earn back all the medical expenses in one go.

During these three weeks, they conducted two more assessments at the base.

Including theoretical assessment and operational assessment of star fighter.

Pei Zijing regarded their flight over the asteroid belt as a real combat test because they encountered the space pirate organization Bodhi Leaf.

In this item, only Xia Chujian and her roommates got full marks, while everyone else got zero marks.

But in the following theoretical test, Xia Chujian failed.

Lin Xiaoxiao was first again, and Xia Chujian was ranked outside the top fifty.

But because she had the full score in the practical assessment, after the remaining two assessments, her total score still ranked fifth.

The top three are Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan and Sang Yadi.

They ranked at the top entirely due to their full marks in the practical assessment.

As long as you don’t fail in the theoretical and practical assessments, you will definitely be in the top three.

But the fourth place was not Xia Chujian, but Lin Xiaoxiao, who scored zero in the practical test!

Because her theoretical test performance was so impressive and she received extra points, she pushed Xia Chujian from fourth place to fifth place by one point.

Xia Chujian actually didn't care.

She just wanted to be in the top 20 so that she could participate in the special military operations at the base.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt very embarrassed, and quietly came to Xia Chujian's dormitory and gave her a notebook she had made.

Xia Chujian didn't want it at first, but after looking through it for a while, he found that Lin Xiaoxiao's notes were very well done.

It is not only concise and comprehensive, but also illustrated with pictures and texts, which is particularly suitable for the learning method of a "poor student" like Xia Chujian.

She put it away with a smile, but it was not in vain that she collected Lin Xiaoxiao's notes.

She bought her a big meal and asked her to eat her fill in a small booth in the cafeteria.

Xia Chujian had long noticed that Lin Xiaoxiao usually ate very frugally.

Most of the time, we actually rely on high-quality nutrient solution to survive.

It’s not that he’s a bad boy, but he refuses to eat properly in the free cafeteria at the base. Xia Chujian doesn’t quite understand why.

Lin Xiaoxiao was embarrassed to eat at first, but the stir-fried dishes, rice, porridge and soup that Xia Chujian bought from the cafeteria's small kitchen looked so delicious.

She couldn't help herself and ate everything clean.

Xia Chujian was also surprised and said with a smile, "Lin Xiaoxiao, I didn't expect that despite your small stature, you have such a good appetite."

Lin Xiaoxiao's face turned red all of a sudden.

She whispered, "Thank you for treating me, Lieutenant Xia. This is the best meal I've had in my six weeks at the base."

In the past, Lin Xiaoxiao called Xia Chujian "Sister Xia", even though she was older than Xia Chujian.

There was no problem doing so at that time because Xia Chujian and she had the same military rank, both second lieutenants.

But now, Xia Chujian is already a lieutenant, and among all the elite pilots, he is also in the upper echelons.

So she had to call her Lieutenant Xia to show respect.

Seeing her talking about it herself, Xia Chu asked curiously, "...Lin Xiaoxiao, in fact, except for the small kitchen, all other meals in the cafeteria are paid for by the base. They are free for us. Why don't you eat?"

Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her head and whispered, "...Actually, we don't have to eat the rations issued by the base... If we don't eat them, we can exchange them for allowances..."

Xia Chujian: “…”

What is an allowance?

She didn't dare ask, for fear of being exposed.

He just nodded as if pretending not to care and said, "I see, but you should also take care of your health. For us pilots, poor health will really affect our performance."

Seeing that Xia Chujian didn't look down on her at all, Lin Xiaoxiao felt less awkward.

She whispered, "My family is large. Mom and Dad are... servants, and I have older brothers and sisters at home."

"I'm the only one of five children in my family who joined the army."

"When I was little, they always gave in to me at home and saved all the good food for me."

"Now that I'm able to afford it, I always want to save more of my allowance and bring it back to buy them food."

Xia Chujian remained calm and said, "Yes, when I was a child, my family was poor. We couldn't even get enough to eat with low-grade nutrient solution, and we even had to beg outside."
