These words reminded Lin Chen, who immediately picked up a bottle of perfume and sprayed it on Pan Wei, warning him to spray perfume on himself every day in order to cover up the fragrance on Jin Songzhu!
In the dead of night, the three of them went to wash up one after another, moving very quietly so as not to wake Jin Songzhu. Lin Chen faced the greatest challenge, as his bed was right next to Jin Songzhu's.
Even though there was a mosquito net made of golden pine bamboo between the two beds, in terms of physical distance, as long as Lin Chen lay down, the distance between the two people would not exceed 30 centimeters.
At this moment, Lin Chen truly understood the awkward situation he was in.
If you listen quietly at this moment, it's as if Jin Songzhu's steady breathing is right next to Lin Chen's ear. You can even feel the faint breaths of her exhaled air brushing against Lin Chen's ear!
Could it be that the first woman he "slept with" was actually Jin Songzhu?! What a cruel twist of fate!
That night, all three boys tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Jin Songzhu, on the other hand, seemed to sleep soundly.
...
The next morning, when the three of them got up, they found Jin Songzhu's bed empty. They wondered when this wild little girl had gotten up so early, and how the three of them hadn't even noticed?
Not only was Jin Songzhu's bed enclosed by a special barrier, but even the area around her desk was surrounded by one. There was also a four-compartment wardrobe shared by the four of them, but her section was always locked. Even her toiletries were locked away; all of this seemed rather strange.
As the date of military training drew ever closer, Li Kui, Pan Wei, and others were filled with anxiety, seemingly dreading the arduous training that was about to begin.
Pan Wei, that fair-skinned, skinny guy who's always been playful and carefree, it's understandable that he'd be afraid of this kind of high-intensity training. But what's surprising is that Li Kui, the "Black Whirlwind" leader, this tall and burly man, is also afraid of military training?
This inevitably leads to speculation: could it be that his previous night with Zou Danyang severely damaged his health and he has yet to recover?
In contrast, Jin Songzhu appeared unusually calm. Lin Chen noticed that whenever she had free time, Jin Songzhu would hide on her bed, seemingly engrossed in doing something.
Driven by intense curiosity, Lin Chen secretly investigated, and the result surprised him greatly.
It turns out that this cunning and irritable little girl's favorite thing is wood carving! She spends all her free time lying on her bed, carving stroke by stroke with a small knife, and her table is full of her works, each one revealing her ingenuity and craftsmanship.
This really made Lin Chen look at her with new respect.
...
The night before military training, Lin Chen was in his dormitory when he suddenly heard someone calling him from outside. He went out and saw Zhao Zhuowen's burly figure standing in front of him, startling the few guys in the dormitory who were playing on their phones.
Their wary gazes darted back and forth between Zhao Zhuowen and Lin Chen, after all, Zhao Zhuowen's fierce aura was too obvious. Jin Songzhu also curiously peeked out, but as soon as she saw it was Zhao Zhuowen, she quickly retreated back into her "mosquito net".
"I suppose someone as busy as you wouldn't come here unless you had a reason?" Lin Chen looked at Zhao Zhuowen, secretly wondering about his purpose.
Zhao Zhuowen seemed somewhat hesitant. He stammered, "I have something I'd like you to help me with, but it's a bit dangerous." His gaze was fixed on Lin Chen, his expression serious.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly. It wasn't that he was afraid of danger, but rather that he didn't want to take unnecessary risks. Moreover, if someone as upright as Zhao Zhuowen mentioned danger, then things were probably not looking good.
"If there's any danger, then we should find someone else," Lin Chen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhuowen became somewhat anxious: "Are you even a man? Why are you so scared? No matter what, you might be my future brother-in-law. I would never harm you, don't worry!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's lips curled into a playful smile: "Since you brought this up, I also have something I want to tell you. Your love rival happens to be at our school, and she lives in the same dormitory as Jiaqi, and is also Jiaqi's best friend."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhuowen was momentarily stunned. He paused for a moment, then hurriedly explained, "Alright, Lin Chen, stop joking. This time, I really need your help because it's related to my work."
"Your job? Aren't you just a rich kid with nothing to do? Don't tell me you want me to go with you to pick up girls and be your wingman?" Lin Chen asked, feigning doubt, but he already had some guesses about Zhao Zhuowen's intentions.
Zhao Zhuowen rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I was talking about the 'Operation Red Sea' club."
He spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone revealing a seriousness and earnestness.
Upon hearing these words, Lin Chen immediately stopped smiling, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
Zhao Zhuowen then said in a deep voice, "We need a sniper with extremely accurate marksmanship right now!"
When Zhao Zhuowen spoke, his face was unusually serious, and his gaze was fixed on Lin Chen like a hawk, which left Lin Chen somewhat confused.
A sniper? What does that have to do with him?
In fact, whenever Zhao Zhuowen mentioned the words "marksmanship" and "sniper," a barely perceptible hint of jealousy would flash in his eyes. He had witnessed Lin Chen's extraordinary marksmanship firsthand. It was precisely because he had seen it with his own eyes that the shock he felt was so profound, as if it were imprinted deep within his soul.
At this moment, faced with a mission requiring the best sniper, Lin Chen's image immediately came to Zhao Zhuowen's mind. This mission was no small matter, and the sniper played a crucial role, allowing no room for error.
"Brother Bawang, you've only just begun. I can't just agree to that so easily," Lin Chen joked with a smile. "Don't tell me you want me, a complete novice who's never even touched a sniper rifle, to be your sniper? And judging from your current state, this mission is definitely no small matter. Are you sure you want me, a fresh-faced newbie who just graduated high school and is about to go to college, to help you?"
As Lin Chen spoke, he moved his feet slightly, his shoulders swaying gently, appearing quite relaxed. However, Zhao Zhuowen simply smiled at him, his eyes filled with determination.
“I have confidence in you, and we still have a week. For you, a week is enough.” Zhao Zhuowen’s words revealed an undeniable firmness. “And don’t worry, your current task is to serve as the second sniper, that is, as a backup, not as the first player, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
"A backup plan?" Lin Chen still couldn't believe his ears, and he asked again to confirm.
“I don’t have time to joke with you right now. As long as you cooperate with me to complete this operation, I guarantee you will become a full member of the ‘Operation Red Sea’ club. You should know what that means.” Zhao Zhuowen’s words carried a hint of temptation.
"Does that mean... I can use a gun whenever I want from now on? And I won't be punished by law for killing people?" Lin Chen asked half-jokingly, which almost made Zhao Zhuowen faint.
"Alright, since you, my domineering brother, have put it that way, what can I say? But let's not tell Jiaqi about this yet, I'm afraid she'll worry. Also, these are the days of my military training, is it really appropriate for me to miss them?" Lin Chen asked hesitantly.
"What's the big deal? I'll send someone to handle this with the school. If you don't have anything else, come with me now. Your flight is tonight. I'll wait for you outside. You have 10 minutes," Zhao Zhuowen said decisively.
"So soon?" Lin Chen was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected to suddenly face a special training session. However, thinking about how Zhao Zhuowen could exempt him from military training with just a word, he couldn't help but sigh that the lives of the powerful and influential were indeed different from those of ordinary people.
"Um, I have some things to take care of at home, so I have to go back early. I'll let you know when I'll be back."
After the conversation ended, Lin Chen hurriedly returned to his dormitory, quickly packed his luggage, and then prepared to say goodbye to Li Kui and Pan Wei.
