At 11:25, Meng Lingyi reminded everyone on time, "Is everyone ready? It's time to gather."
Jiang Xiaoli put her hat on her head and followed everyone out. She noticed that Meng Lingyi carefully locked the door and put the key away before catching up with the others.
She couldn't help but pull Hu Jingxin and Yan Chengcheng aside and ask, "What do you think of our vice class monitor?"
Yan Chengcheng was the first to speak, "Xiao Li, Meng Lingyi is a ruthless person with extremely high standards for herself! I used to share a dorm with her, and her daily schedule was planned down to the minute, it was terrifying!"
Hu Jingxin couldn't help but shudder. "I thought it was already amazing that our dorm had Xiao Li, a super jogger who gets up early every day, but is Meng Lingyi really that fierce?"
"You just found out?!" Yan Chengcheng pulled the two of them aside and revealed, "I heard that Meng Lingyi's family are all government officials. When she applied for college, she chose our business administration major, which her family strongly disapproved of. She worked so hard because she wanted to make a name for herself and gain her family's approval for her choice."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded thoughtfully, "I didn't know much about the class monitor before because I didn't have much contact with him. But after getting to know him this time, I think the vice class monitor is indeed very outstanding."
Seeing the three of them lagging behind, Yuan Shuting called out, "Jiang Xiaoli! Hu Jingxin! Yan Chengcheng! Stop chatting! You'll be late if you keep talking!"
The three of them quickly jogged to catch up with everyone and lined up at the assembly point.
At 11:30, the stern-faced instructor Fu arrived on time to take attendance. "At ease! Attention! Everyone, please count off in turn!"
Soon all 29 students from the Business Administration class who were participating in the military training arrived.
Instructor Fu finally showed his first smile of the day. "Very good! From now on, you must be this punctual for every assembly. No lateness allowed. Do you understand?"
The whole class answered in unison, "Understood!"
There were many other classes gathering nearby, and some were late or dressed haphazardly, causing quite a few laughs.
Instructor Fu said, "Did you see how they were punished? Let me tell you, if you make such a basic mistake under my supervision, you will be punished much more severely!"
After making those harsh words, Instructor Fu finally relented. "Everyone! Turn left! Go into the canteen, get your trays and your food. Take only what you can eat, and don't waste any food!"
Upon entering the cafeteria, Yan Chengcheng looked at the dishes at the serving window and exclaimed, "Friends, I think we've arrived at a weight loss training camp."
Hu Jingxin also looked distressed, "I really miss the hamburger I didn't eat while watching TV last night."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's okay, you still have the little snacks that Brother Yuan prepared for you."
Hu Jingxin chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll share them with you."
They casually ordered some food and shared a table with their classmates.
Jiang Xiaoli took a bite of the dish and was a little surprised. "Although this dish doesn't look very appealing, it tastes pretty good."
Hu Jingxin took a bite of the homemade tofu with some skepticism, and exclaimed, "It really is!"
Yan Chengcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, I don't want to lose any more weight!"
The girl sitting next to me looked puzzled. "Isn't it good if it helps you lose weight?"
Yan Chengcheng pouted and shook her head. "I'm naturally the type who can't gain weight easily. I finally gained a few pounds recently, and I don't want all that delicious food to go to waste."
Her words immediately drew several envious and jealous glances. Jiang Xiaoli quickly pressed her head down, "Hurry up and eat, stop attracting hatred!"
Hu Jingxin couldn't help but laugh even though her right cheek was bulging from eating. "Chengcheng, you probably really don't understand what it feels like to gain weight just by drinking water."
She had vowed to go for a morning run with Jiang Xiaoli, but she only managed to keep it up for two months. Since she got busy with the 307 incident, she gave up exercising, but she never gave up on losing weight.
Jiang Xiaoli looked at the two of them and shook her head, "If you two could just balance each other out, it would be perfect!"
Hu Jingxin nodded repeatedly, "Chengcheng, please help me carry a few pounds of meat, I would be extremely grateful!"
Xu Fei, who was standing next to them, chimed in, "Yeah, Yan Chengcheng, if you want to gain weight, I'll give you two pounds of meat!"
Yan Chengcheng feigned seriousness, "It seems everyone's troubles are different!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
They were having a lively meal and conversation when they heard a familiar voice coming from behind them.
"You seem to be having a good chat? Would you like to go up to the stage to continue?"
They immediately fell silent.
Fortunately, Instructor Fu did not pursue the matter further. He instructed, "After you finish eating, clean up your trays and put them at the cafeteria entrance. Go back to your dormitory and quickly tidy up your belongings for lunch break. We will assemble at 2:30 pm!"
After saying that, he took his plate and went to eat with the other instructors.
Yuan Shuting hiccuped. "I feel like I want to run away whenever I hear Instructor Fu's voice."
Her words were met with unanimous agreement: "Who isn't?"
They stopped chatting in the cafeteria, quickly finished their meal, and returned to their dorm to pack their things.
Jiang Xiaoli's bed was only half-made, and the duvet cover wasn't on yet. She climbed onto the bed and quickly put the duvet cover on.
Hu Jingxin patted the edge of her bed, and when she turned her head, she saw a small bread roll.
She chuckled softly, "I'll save it for now, and ask you for it when I'm hungry."
Hu Jingxin still tried to give it to her, saying, "No, don't try to test my limits with food."
"Hahaha!"
Xu Fei, who was in the lower bunk next to her, laughed out loud, "Hu Jingxin, I never thought you were so funny before!"
Hu Jingxin leaned against the bed and guessed, "That's because we haven't had enough contact. If it's been a long time, you'll feel that it's a real pity that the crosstalk world is missing me."
The two chatted animatedly, and Yan Chengcheng covered her mouth and chuckled, "Xiao Li, don't you think Xin Xin's talkativeness is becoming more and more like Yuan Ge's?"
Jiang Xiaoli pondered for a moment, "Haha, it really is true. Maybe this is what they mean by 'one is influenced by one's surroundings'?"
Yan Chengcheng laughed so hard the whole bed shook, "Then Brother Yuan must be covered in a puddle of ink!"
Hu Jingxin was displeased when she heard Zhong Yuan's name. "You're not allowed to talk about my Yuan like that! Yuan is so wonderful!"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "Yes, yes, Brother Yuan is the best. Ms. Hu Jingxin, shall we take a lunch break?"
At this moment, most people had tidied up their beds and lay down to rest in preparation for the afternoon's training.
Hu Jingxin looked at it, nodded, and lay down.
Dormitory 205 immediately fell silent, and soon the room was filled with the even breathing of everyone, and some soft snoring.
Jiang Xiaoli doesn't have the habit of taking a midday nap; she's just resting with her eyes closed.
No telephones, no computers, no studying or working; being in the military camp, this simple life seems pretty good.
She suddenly started to look forward to this military training period.
