Beef Jerky

What made Ji Yanran most depressed was that it would be better if the other party just said that he was attracted by her face, which would make her feel better.

Song Shixia laughed and comforted her: "My Yanran is so beautiful that she will never lack people to like her. In the future, keep your eyes open and meet more people."

Ji Yanran shrugged her shoulders and said, "I was frightened by the small glasses. From now on, unless the person I'm dating is ready for marriage, don't even think about entering my house or asking about my family situation."

Song Shixia didn't say much.

"Just decide for yourself. If you don't know how to make a decision, just ask me and your brother. Your brother and I are good at judging people."

We drove into the campus and saw a group of soldiers standing at the school gate.

Song Shixia was surprised and asked, "Are you going to have military training at the beginning of the school year?"

Ji Yanran suddenly remembered: "Yes, our school has military training in September."

Song Shixia reminded her: "It's so hot today, you have to be careful not to get tanned again."

Ji Yanran waved her hands carelessly.

"It doesn't matter. Only those who can endure hardships and work hard are good revolutionary comrades."

"Okay, okay, you're a good comrade, don't come to me to cry when the time comes."

Ji Yanran hugged her and said coquettishly: "I know my sister-in-law is the best. She will definitely not stand by and watch someone die."

Song Shixia had no way to deal with her, so she could only poke her dimples lightly.

"Think of me as a rescuer, right?"

When they arrived at the dormitory building, Song Shixia looked around the dormitory environment and couldn't help but worry.

"Are you used to it?"

"I studied in high school under the same conditions. It was actually not that bad. I just had to get up early in the winter to get hot water, but my life was generally okay."

Ji Yanran's dormitory is a six-person dormitory with upper and lower floors. There is a long table in the middle of the dormitory. There is a dividing line drawn on the table, and the area within the range is the usable area of ​​each desk.

The wardrobes are made of wood, and each person has only a small cabinet, which they have to lock themselves.

The dormitory has a balcony, a sink and a separate bathroom, so it's not too bad.

Song Shixia walked around the dormitory.

"The good news is that I don't have to squeeze in with the whole floor in the morning. I can wash up in the dormitory."

Ji Yanran nodded seriously.

"Yes, the balcony can be used to hang clothes. It's much better than my high school."

The other students in the dormitory had not arrived yet. Song Shixia helped Yanran make her bed, and the two of them packed their things and went out to buy daily necessities.

Song Shixia helped pick out towels, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, toothpaste cups, washbasins and other daily necessities.

Ji Yanran was extremely simple: "I've brought all these, just buy two basins."

Song Shixia looked at her with a half-smile: "Have you ever thought about what to eat when you go home on Saturdays and Sundays?"

Ji Yanran suddenly realized: "Yes, I brought them all here for use at home!"

Ji Yanran followed behind her sister-in-law, still worrying that her brain had become dull from playing too much during the summer vacation.

She doubted herself a little: "Sister-in-law, I won't be so bad at studying that I'll be expelled from school, right?"

"Pfft," someone laughed.

Song Shixia and Ji Yanran turned around at the same time, and behind them was a row of neatly lined up soldiers, and the two of them were walking side by side, blocking their way.

The two of them quickly made way. Ji Yanran stole a glance at the man in military uniform who was leading the group. He was tall, but he had a cast on his hand. How rude of him to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.

The man led the team forward and then shouted slogans for them to stop. The soldiers in the second row were called out and trotted to Ji Yanran.

The little soldier's dark complexion was tinged with red.

"I'm sorry, comrade, I shouldn't have laughed out loud just now."

Ji Yanran realized that she had wrongly blamed an innocent victim and accepted the apology with a guilty conscience.

"It's okay, you can go now."

Ji Yanran was absent-minded all the way, and she felt ashamed. Her father was a soldier, and soldiers were injured because of official duties. She also laughed at others' injuries in her heart, thinking that she was a bad person.

She and her sister-in-law finished their meal in the cafeteria and she sent her sister-in-law to the car in a daze.

Seeing that she seemed to have been bewitched, Song Shixia shook her head helplessly.

"If you find yourself in a place you're not used to, remember to call home. Don't handle it on your own. Got it?"

Ji Yanran nodded randomly.

"Yeah, sister-in-law, please be careful on the road."

Song Shixia sighed: "I put a bag of beef jerky on your bed for you. Divide it into small bags and share them with your roommates to build good roommate relationships. Remember, you will live together for four years."

"Thank you, sister-in-law, you are more thoughtful than my mother expected."

"My parents are old, and they don't have much energy to take care of everything. If you have any urgent matters, please come to me and your brother."

It is said that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother, but Ji Yanran had never experienced this before. The wife that her second brother married was a dancer from the cultural troupe. She looked frail, and her mother was worried that she would not be able to give birth. As a result, she had premature labor and heavy bleeding and died.

She was young at that time and had an average relationship with her previous sister-in-law. Moreover, her sister-in-law lived with her brother in the army and they only saw each other twice a year. Her relationship with her second sister-in-law was not as close as that with Yu Fang next door.

Later, her second brother died. She lost the second brother who had doted on her since she was a child, and was left with only her third brother who had just returned from abroad and with whom she had an unfamiliar relationship.

At that time, Yu Fang always told her that sister-in-law was an outsider in the family, and that if her third brother had a sister-in-law, he would not treat her well, and she would lose him too. She subconsciously rejected her third brother marrying someone else, and hoped that Yu Fang could be her sister-in-law. She had such a good relationship with Yu Fang that she would definitely not alienate herself from her third brother.

But as she got to know her sister-in-law better, she realized how childish she had been. Yu Fang couldn't compare to her sister-in-law, who was so good. She couldn't find any flaws in her sister-in-law. If she had to find one, it would be that her cooking was so delicious. She couldn't help but eat two bowls of rice every time she was at her sister-in-law's house.

Ji Yanran was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears. "Thank you, sister-in-law. I almost wanted to call you mom."

Song Shixia was terrified.

"You may be touched, but you don't have to call me mom. I'm only a few years older than you."

Ji Yanran giggled foolishly.

"A sister-in-law is like a mother. My mother will definitely not say anything to me."

Song Shixia fled in panic, leaving Ji Yanran returning to the dormitory feeling lonely.

She lived in the dormitory during high school, so she could take her dirty clothes home whenever she wanted. The university was not far from home, but she had already said that she would be independent and self-reliant in the university and would not rely on her family. Her living expenses and tuition fees were all earned from working as a summer intern at her sister-in-law's place.

But as soon as her sister-in-law left, she started missing home.

Ji Yanran walked back with her head down and looked sad. She accidentally bumped into a wall. Her nose felt sore and tears burst out instantly.

Her nose was hit and it hurt.

"You don't look where you're walking!"

She covered her nose, raised her head and glared at the culprit, and instantly her eyes were filled with guilt.

Ji Yanran quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't have eyes."

The moment Zhou Yue was hit, his facial expression was distorted for a few seconds. This lesbian really knew how to hit people, and she specifically attacked the injured parts of his body.

He endured the pain and said, "Little comrade, where is your school's infirmary?"

Ji Yan then realized that she had just bumped into someone else's plaster cast. No wonder she almost had a nosebleed.

The next second, the man told her not to move.

"You have a nosebleed. Tilt your head back a little and take some paper out of your pocket."

Ji Yanran was in a panic.

"I, I, I don't have any paper,"

Zhou Yue didn't care too much and took out a washed-out dark blue handkerchief from his military uniform pocket.

"Stop the bleeding first."

Ji Yanran didn't even look at it and covered her nose with a handkerchief.

"Is it still bleeding?"

"Cover it with a handkerchief first and come with me to the infirmary."

Ji Yanran wanted to nod but was worried that her nose would bleed again, so she could only blink at him.

"Let's go to the infirmary. Do you know where the infirmary is?"

Zhou Yue thought to himself that he was just a little stutterer, no wonder he was afraid of being expelled from college.

"I don't know. Today is my first time visiting your school."

Ji Yanran stared at him.

"I don't know either. This is my first time coming to our school today as well."

Finally, the two were taken to the infirmary by enthusiastic seniors, and the school doctor was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw them.

"What's going on with you two?"

Ji Yanran took off her handkerchief, her nose and mouth were all covered in blood, she looked so pitiful.

"I accidentally bumped into his cast. Doctor, please check on him first. Is his arm okay?"

Before my sister-in-law left, she told me to come to her if I had any problems. I got into trouble now and I don’t know if I have enough money to pay for the medical bills.

The school doctor said cheerfully, "No need. He is not made of clay and will break if hit. Your nose is more important. The plaster is so hard. It's like you hit a wall."

Ji Yanran agreed very much, but she didn't dare to show it in front of the other person. After all, she was the one who bumped into the person because she was not looking at the road when she walked.

"You've lost a lot of blood. Look at this handkerchief, it's all bloodstained. It's pitiful."

Ji Yanran said pitifully: "Doctor, I should be fine now that the bleeding has stopped, right?"

"It's okay. If there's really a problem, ask Officer Zhou to pay for you to go to the hospital for a checkup."

Ji Yanran didn't dare to let anyone pay for it.

"No, no, no, if there are any sequelae, I will go see a doctor myself."

Zhou Yue couldn't help but doubt himself, is he that scary?

Ji Yanran stopped the bleeding and cleaned the blood off her face at the school doctor's place, then she hesitated and refused to leave.

The school doctor joked cheerfully,

"What are you doing? You want to watch us change the cast?"

Ji Yanran nodded hesitantly.

"I bumped into him. If the wound gets worse, do I have to pay for it?"

"You decide. I don't have the final say on whether to compensate or not. It all depends on what Chief Zhou thinks."

Zhou Yue didn't say anything, but just extended his other hand to her.

Ji Yanran stretched out her hand to shake hands with him.

"Hello, you're welcome. I was in a bad mood and didn't look at the road, so I bumped into you."

Zhou Yue raised his eyebrows: "Give me back my handkerchief."

Ji Yanran's face flushed red. It turned out that the other person was asking her for a handkerchief, but she thought he was shaking hands with her!

Ji Yanran wished she could crawl into the crack in the ground.

"Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. If there's any problem, you can find me in our class. I'm Ji Yanran, a journalism student. If you can't find me, you can ask our principal for help."

Ji Yanran was talking nonsense and she was too embarrassed to stay here any longer.

After she ran away, the school doctor wrapped the gauze around her again.

"What's the point of looking at your wound? Just wear the plaster and don't take it off. I'll give you a day off so you can come back and have fun."

The school doctor was a military doctor before, and had met Zhou Yue a few times.

Zhou Yue wanted to go back as soon as possible: "Can't you go back earlier?"

"It won't get better. You will stay in school for as long as your college students are in military training. Your leaders care about you, so you should also care about your own health."

As we all know, the men who are mentioned and described more in the article are usually not passers-by. This CP does not have many roles. If you like it, I will post a special episode.

Is there a way to make a free extra? If I publish it on JJ but want everyone to read it for free, how about making the CP extra a separate free short story? Or write it in the preface of the finale?
