Zhou Xiuxiu was also startled. "Huh? It's military training. All freshmen have to do it for a month. Don't you know? You didn't see them in the cafeteria just now. Those guys in camouflage are the instructors from the barracks. Training starts the day after tomorrow!"
Zhou Xiuxiu went back to the dormitory by herself. Shengxia walked Qin Ge to the school gate. She looked as wilted as a frost-bitten eggplant along the way. "Qin Ge, you're so annoying... It's all your fault. You didn't tell me about military training when I took the college entrance exam. It's so hot out here, I'm dying of heat!"
Qin Ge looked at her indulgently and let her make a fuss. Anyway, she still had to go after she was done. Seeing that Shengxia couldn't walk after a few moments of sunbathing, he felt that it was time for Shengxia to get some good exercise.
Shengxia saw that Qin Ge really ignored her and didn't seem to be softening at all. She hummed for a while and then stopped. When they reached the school gate, Qin Ge was really about to leave. Shengxia looked at him aggrievedly: "When can you come to see me...?"
Qin Ge said, "Be good, I'll come to see you in a few days."
Qin Ge looked down at Sheng Xia and added with a mixture of laughter and tears: "If you really can't hold on any longer, remember to tell the coach and don't force yourself."
Shengxia nodded pitifully, not knowing how many times she could use this excuse... Qin Ge left after he finished speaking, and Shengxia had to go back to the dormitory alone.
Shengxia returned to the dormitory and fell asleep under the quilt. She slept a lot. If no one called her, she could sleep for more than ten hours a day. If she slept less, she would get irritable. It was probably because she had never slept in her previous life.
Zhou Xiuxiu saw that she was still sleeping in the afternoon and did not call her. She went to get the military training uniform and shoes. In the evening, she saw that she was still sleeping, so she finally couldn't help but wake her up and asked her if she wanted to go for dinner.
Shengxia answered in a daze: "I'm not going, you guys go." Without Qin Ge, she didn't even have an appetite to eat.
At night, everyone in the dormitory arrived. Although everyone was from different majors and came from different places, they all had yearning and anxiety for the future. After a while, they became familiar with each other and chatted until the lights were turned off before going to bed.
Shengxia didn't remember the name either. She was too lazy to devote any energy to people and things that didn't interest her.
There was a person in the dormitory who was in the Foreign Languages Department like Shengxia. Her name was Shen Jiaxue. Because she had to take the entrance exam to Jinghai University, she repeated her senior year and took the exam for an extra year. Her major was Russian.
Shen Jiaxue also came from a small place. Shengxia didn't remember where exactly. In the afternoon, she took Shengxia to the gathering point of their department.
There are not many freshmen in the Foreign Languages Department, with only more than a hundred people in the department, and even fewer girls. Compared with some popular majors, not only is the team less than half of them, but it is also like a Buddhist temple, with most of them being men.
The sizes of the military training uniforms were all very large, and even with the belt tucked in at the innermost buckle, it was still loose. A school leader, staring at the scorching sun, spoke from the stage: "Students! Jinghai University, as a century-old prestigious institution, is a cradle for cultivating outstanding talents for the country. You will all be the backbone of the country in the future. You must have the noble sentiment of not fearing hardship or sacrifice...! Dedicate your lifelong enthusiasm to the motherland!"
Shengxia was almost asleep listening to the talk. She was most afraid of being talked to, and big talk was more effective than a lullaby. After waiting for a long time, the big talk finally ended. When the meeting was over, Shen Jiaxue ran over with an excited look on her face: "Did you hear the principal's speech just now? I'm so excited! I, Shen Jiaxue, swear on the day I was admitted to Jinghai University that I will use all the knowledge, youth, and ideals I have learned in my life! Dedicate them all to the great cause of building the motherland. This is my belief!"
Shengxia felt that she should go to the School of Arts. It was really a waste of her talent to be in the School of Foreign Languages. "Then which cafeteria should we go to for dinner?"
Shen Jiaxue looked at her speechlessly: "The principal gave such an inspiring speech, didn't your heart feel a little disturbed after listening to it?"
Shengxia took off his hat and fanned himself: "There are waves. My blood is boiling and my head is almost burning with blood. It's so hot and he looks quite old. How did he insist on talking so much?"
Shen Jiaxue looked at her speechlessly. When they reached the cafeteria, she asked again, unwilling to give up: "You came to Jinghai, don't you have any ambitions and ideals to achieve?"
Shengxia thought about it carefully and said, "It really is."
"What ideal?"
“I must graduate successfully!”
Shen Jiaxue: “….”
Shengxia saw a crack appear on Shen Jiaxue's calm face and thought that it was already amazing that she could be admitted to Jinghai University. Well, she didn't have as big ideals as Shen Jiaxue. She was just here to live a carefree life. Once she got an academic degree that satisfied Qin Ge, she would go home to retire. This was her ultimate ideal in life.
After dinner, Shen Jiaxue completely lost hope in Shengxia, a regressive young man with no ambition or ideals. She went to the library to study with a thick professional book, and Shengxia went back to the dormitory by herself.
As for Shengxia, if no one forced her to go to the library with a knife, unless something unexpected happened, she would never step into it on her own initiative.
When she arrived at the dormitory, she took out a thick novel from the luggage on top of the cabinet. She had secretly put this novel in there and asked Qin Ge to carry it all the way from the construction site to the city center and then to Jinghai. If Qin Ge knew that there was such a thing in his luggage, he would probably be angry with her again. Fortunately, she had the foresight to hide it in her clothes.
Shengxia watched with great interest and kept watching until dark, then she took her toiletries and went to the bathhouse to take a bath.
Zhou Xiuxiu lived across from her. She was looking at her professional book. Seeing Shengxia looking for something, she asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"
Shengxia said, "I'm looking for soap. I'm going to take a shower."
Zhou Xiuxiu pointed at the sky outside and said, "There's no hot water at this hour. Didn't you see the notice on the door? The door might even be locked now. Don't shower. Just wash your face and go to bed."
Shengxia held the basin and stared wide-eyed. There's not even hot water? What kind of a lousy place is this?
Shengxia went to the bathroom, turned on the tap and got some cold water, then wiped herself casually in the toilet cubicle. Her little face was covered in ice.
Shengxia returned to the dormitory reluctantly. The lights were off. She climbed onto her bed in the dark, covered herself with the quilt, and slept until dawn the next day. A noise in the dormitory woke her up. Seeing that she was still motionless, Shen Jiaxue hurriedly called her: "Shengxia, you have to hurry! It's time to gather!"
Shen Jiaxue felt a headache when she saw Shengxia lying on the bed with a dazed look on her face, trying to calm down.
The teacher just finished a meeting yesterday and said that everyone in the dormitory must help each other, unite and be friendly, especially to help the students who are lagging behind! Shen Jiaxue wants to run for class monitor and must do a good job of the work assigned by the teacher.
It was obvious that Shengxia was the most backward student, so how come she ended up in this situation?
