The Imperial Central Military Academy is a boarding school, and for freshmen, they can only go out once a month during their first year.
Therefore, Mingmei and Lu Xiaoyao still went out to eat at the school cafeteria.
Late at night, there weren't many people in the school cafeteria. There were quite a few people sitting in twos and threes eating and chatting. The two of them sitting in the corner eating didn't attract much attention.
As Mingmei ate her meal, she rested her chin on her hand and looked away, inadvertently overhearing the whispers around her. Many people seemed to be discussing the same topic.
"Oh my god, one of my favorite directors is back!"
"Who is it? Holy crap! What happened? He posted his account on Starbucks!"
"Yeah, I heard his daughter woke up after being in a vegetative state for over ten years, and that's why he just posted on Weibo. It's been over ten years since his last post, and his fans were all asking him if he was making a comeback. Well, he replied with 'yes'!"
"Wow! I'm super excited! His old horror movies were amazing!"
...
The soft, fragmented sounds reached Mingmei's ears. Being an old-fashioned person, she silently absorbed the conversation, and then—["Hey, can you help me search for information about this director named Durant?"]
Having lived in this world for so long, she has had very little exposure to entertainment news. If the conversations around her revolve around this person, it means that this director must be very talented. This kind of information is worth knowing.
At least, you won't be out of the loop when you're actually having a conversation with someone.
Thinking of this, Mingmei looked up and glanced at Lu Xiaoyao in front of her, only to see that she was busy eating, seemingly unaffected by the outside world.
The way she ate was almost exactly the same as in the game.
It looks incredibly delicious and makes me want to eat more rice.
On Lu Xiaoyao's plate were: two pieces of grilled star beast meat the size of an adult man's palm, a dish of vegetable salad, a glass of juice, a bowl of mashed potatoes, and three small cakes.
Bright and beautiful doesn't have a big appetite; she only has a plate of vegetable salad and a piece of starfish for dinner.
Compared to the food Lu Xiaoyao served, Mingmei couldn't help but glance at how much everyone around her was eating, and it turned out that everyone seemed to have eaten quite a lot.
These days, is it really impossible to gain weight?
Thinking about it, Mingmei asked one more question.
"No, I'm using up my energy. I can't keep going if I don't eat enough." Lu Xiaoyao ate until her cheeks were bulging, then glanced at the food in front of Mingmei, frowned, and asked, "Why are you eating so little?"
After saying that, Lu Xiaoyao seemed to understand something and then asked, "Have you been such a picky eater since you were little, which is why you haven't grown tall?"
Mingmei, who is nearly 1.7 meters tall, felt as if she had been shot in the knee.
Her height shouldn't warrant such discrimination, right?
"And what about you?" Mingmei remembered that Lu Xiaoyao's height had also been the subject of jokes among netizens.
hateful!
Being 1.75 meters tall will still get you laughed at!
Mingmei couldn't understand what kind of height-enhancing drugs everyone in the interstellar era had taken.
"I went hungry when I was little..." Lu Xiaoyao wasn't embarrassed to talk about it at all; instead, she answered frankly, "I was kidnapped when I was little and wandered around for a while. When my dad and the others found me and brought me back, I was malnourished. So, no matter how much I eat now, I just can't grow tall, it's awful~"
After saying that, Lu Xiaoyao angrily stuffed another small cake into her mouth, and was immediately soothed by the cake.
Mmm~~ So delicious!
As Mingmei listened to her words, she couldn't help but think of another Lu Xiaoyao. So, her abnormal behavior might be related to her childhood experiences.
However, speaking too frankly with someone you don't know well isn't in Mingmei's style. She prefers to listen to things first and isn't in a hurry to ask in-depth questions, knowing there will always be opportunities to learn more later.
After Mingmei and Lu Xiaoyao returned to their respective rooms, Mingmei had already received a message from Guigui about the interstellar director named Durant.
Durant Malta Archie, a renowned federal director, male, 68 years old...
"Oh, she's not even as old as me."
Hearing Mingmei's complaint, Guigui was interrupted just as she was about to speak.
"Specializing in thrillers. Famous works include 'Bloodstained Insect Cave' and 'Slaughtering Insect Planet'..." After reciting a long list of films related to the Zerg, Mingmei could only sigh that the people of this interstellar world truly hated the Zerg deeply.
"Huh? This 'Blood War Insect Cave' is actually based on a true story?" Mingmei saw a long list of notes below the dots, and it seemed that "Blood War Insect Cave" had caused some controversy.
Upon closer inspection, it turns out that the movie is based on a real person from the Empire.
"According to Mei Qiu, former deputy commander of the Third Legion of the Empire..." Before she could finish reading, Mingmei almost spat out the water she had just drunk when she saw her familiar second brother's name!
Former Deputy Commander of the Third Army Corps of the Empire...
When did her second brother ever serve as a military commander?
Mingmei suddenly felt that she should take some time to get a general understanding of her family's identities and professions in interstellar life.
It's really embarrassing to suddenly see a familiar name like that.
Then, after summarizing and applying the information gathered by the computer and the ghost to herself, Mingmei felt that tonight might be a sleepless night.
Her brother, Mei Qiu, was recently trending again because of the news that he ran away on the day of his engagement to the princess of the imperial family more than ten years ago...
He ran away from his engagement to the empire's princess...
Her second brother did something... absolutely inhuman!
Gui Gui obtained the photo of the princess through her godfather's connections.
Upon closer inspection, the bright light had faded.
