After a month of military training, all freshmen had already adapted to the military academy’s rules. Although they were very happy that they were finally done with their military training, they only chuckled softly. No one dared to have too big of a reaction.
The Senior Brother monitor smiled when he looked at them. Little ones, the good days are yet to come… but I shall not say it now; I will let them be happy for now!
Ye Jian was also smiling slightly. Captain Xia once said that freshman year was the hardest. She could survive the next four years if she could survive freshman year. If she couldn’t survive, she could only choose to drop out.
On such a hot day when the surface temperature reached 34 degrees in the evening, Ye Jian spent half a day erasing some criticisms that she had gotten from not attending the military training. She also left a very deep impression on her classmates.
The loud horn sounded, the sun had just risen, and the day of a cadet had begun.
There were only three girls in Ye Jian’s class. The three girls were in a dormitory. The horn sounded for the first time, but the three girls had already gotten up quickly without any delay. Want them to stay in bed? No way!
They needed to complete a series of actions such as dressing, folding quilt, washing, and so on within ten minutes, and then queue up for morning exercises.
“I’m on duty this week. I won’t wait for you two anymore. Bye!” Ye Jian’s movements were much faster than how she was in the last few weeks. It was her turn to be on duty this week, so she must go ahead first.
Another girl hurriedly said: “Go, go! Oops, where’s my belt? I put it here yesterday!”
“You dare say that you put it here? You obviously put it in my cabinet!” The girl from Qinghai rolled her eyes, and took her roommate’s belt from her cabinet and threw it over, “Xu Wen, why is your memory so bad?”
There were two females in Ye Jian’s dormitory: He Jing from Qing Hai, and Xu Wen from the country’s capital.
Xu Wen’s family had a bit of background. Her father was a designer of a satellite launch base in China, and her mother was an engineer. She was a typical cute girl. She took the belt and blinked, then smiled and said, “Thank you”, before tying the belt to her waist. Then she said to He Jing, “Let’s go down a little bit and help Ye Jian to do a roll call. It’s only the second week; I don’t know many people yet!”
“Don’t you worry, Ye Jian is not like you, having a bad memory? Qian Yanjun couldn’t recognize everyone last week, and she was the one to remind him.” He Jing buckled her belt and urged her roommate to get ready quickly,” Alright, alright, just buckle your belt as we go; the whole class will kill you if we’re late.”
The morning exercises had a special significance and strict rules. No one was absolutely allowed to be late! As long as one person was late, the whole class would be punished!
Xu Wen exhaled heavily and said with a blank face: “Our training seems to get harder and harder!”
This was true. At first, they thought that the end of the military training meant that good days were ahead of them, but they didn’t expect… that things were totally the opposite of what they thought!
He Jing also sighed; they still had bitter days, and they were even more ruthless than the previous military training. Sometimes she really felt like perhaps she had made a wrong decision to enter a military academy! It was too tiring! Not only were they tired during the day, they still had to study and memorize a thick book of rules and regulations at night!
“I am not waiting for you already! If we’re late, we’ll only be miserable!” He Jing took a sip of the cold water from last night and pulled Xu Wen together, walking out of the dormitory neatly.
Military academy students did not have morning exercises like high school or junior high school students, who allow their students to simply run around the field, interspersed with other classes for fun, and then join back with their own classmates afterward.
