Here, Wang Muman and He Xiaoxiao walked forward, one after the other. "Manman, what should we eat tonight? The cafeteria has so many options." "I want to eat cold noodles, it's so hot today." Wang Muman wiped the sweat from her temples. Cicadas sang in the trees, and the warm breeze rustled the leaves, making people irritable. "Okay, let's grab our things quickly and go back to the dorm to turn on the air conditioning."
The large south hall had air conditioning on all four sides, making it very cool and blowing away the stuffiness from outside. Volunteers, all senior students, were helping to distribute military training uniforms and other items. "Everyone try to take the correct size, and try them on in the dorm. If you need to exchange them later in the dorm, come back to the large south hall. The deadline is five o'clock." Yan Cheng walked to the back and stood beside Wang Muman, informing the people behind him. A scent of laundry detergent mixed with a hint of sweat, which wasn't unpleasant. Wang Muman subtly moved back to avoid being too close. "Okay, little brother!" He Lele was very friendly, especially towards good-looking people. Yan Cheng nodded, glanced at Wang Muman's skirt, and walked forward. He even took a step back. Was she that shy, perhaps not interacting with boys often? Yan Cheng shook his head slightly, his puppy-like eyes narrowed.
"170cm, L size, shoe size 37." Wang Muman stated her measurements and left with He Lele after collecting her items. Her ponytail swayed, slightly curled, as if it could capture one's heart.
"Hello, I'm Wang Muman." She entered the dorm with He Lele, and two other people had already arrived. "Hello, I'm Zhang Jiayi, and this is Shen Jiaxin." The girl in front was a bit short, about 1.6 meters, even shorter than Xiaole. Shen Jiaxin was tall and had boyish hair. "Hello everyone, I'm He Lele, just call me Xiaole. We're dormmates now. Manman, let's try on our clothes first." He Lele said, disappearing behind her bed curtain to change. I watched as the others also got onto their beds. I first took off my shoe covers outside and put on the pants. The pants were a bit baggy, with my waist being two sizes too big, but the length was just right. I was a bit worried. Lifting the bed curtain, I found a belt on the bed. My brother had thought of everything. With the belt, they fit perfectly. After trying on the inner wear and jacket, they all fit well. I then organized my belongings and cleaned up, though most of it had already been tidied by my brother. "Xiaole, Muman, Jiaxin, do you need to change?" All three said no. "Then I'll go change by myself." Zhang Jiayi walked out the door.
"Mingyu, Shikai, we've collected everything. Let's go." Yan Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead; his hair was already wet. "I'm going back to take a shower." Yan Cheng preferred to be clean. "Alright, you and Zhou Mingyu go back to the dorm first. I'll look around here for anyone needing to change." "Thanks for your hard work, Kai Ge." Zhou Mingyu pulled Yan Cheng away.
"I just found out, the little beauty lives far away. Her junior high classmates say she's always been this beautiful, and many people pursued her. But she's always been a well-behaved child, a good student, often leading the flag-raising ceremony. Because she gets nervous easily, she refuses to speak." Zhou Mingyu was well-connected and knew many people. "Got it, got it. Let's hurry back and shower." Yan Cheng urged him, though he had already figured it out and recognized her as that type of person.
"Manman, your desk is so tidy. Can you help me tidy mine when we get back tonight? Even though it gets messy again quickly after I tidy it." He Lele looked at Wang Muman expectantly, chewing on her noodles. Wang Muman nodded, chewing carefully. "Eat slowly, don't talk while eating, you might choke." Her brother always told her that when she was little. "Manman, military training starts tomorrow. I'm worried you'll get tanned." "Just apply plenty of sunscreen, and aloe vera gel." After finishing dinner, we rushed to the classroom. Along the way, He Lele asked many questions, such as the food in Wutong Town, whether junior high was good, if the food was good, and if there were any fun teachers, but there were too many questions to answer. "Xiaole, we have a lot of time. Can we talk about these questions later? We're almost at the classroom." He Lele nodded.
The classroom was very quiet that evening. The instructors were introduced, and we watched a national defense video.
