Starting from the second day after Lin Qiye arrived at the training camp, the number of new recruits gradually increased, and the originally empty dormitory building was soon almost full.
On the morning of the third day, Lin Qiye was awakened by the noise outside the corridor. He sat up and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"Huh? Fatty, you're up so early?" Lin Qiye glanced at the pigsty-like bed next to him, which was now empty, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
It seems this rich young master is indeed quite different.
After spending the last two days together, Lin Qiye had gained a basic understanding of Baili Pangpang. He was not the arrogant and domineering young master. On the contrary, he seemed to be trying hard to hide his family background and pretend to be from an "ordinary family," but his acting skills were too clumsy.
He's not a bad person at heart, just a bit dim-witted. That was Lin Qiye's initial assessment of Baili Pangpang.
Lin Qiye wasn't afraid of trouble. In a way, he even hoped that his roommate would be an arrogant and domineering person who would pick fights with him at the drop of a hat, so that he could beat him up legitimately and then take over the whole room...
But unfortunately... he's a harmless, chubby fool!
This silly fat guy spends his days happily with him, frequently giving him gifts and speaking very politely. Lin Qiye feels like he's punched a cotton ball.
I can't bring myself to beat him up, but if I don't... I just can't resist when he secretly puts his foot to my face in the middle of the night.
What's most infuriating is that after Lin Qiye is woken up by the stench, Baili Pangpang will look sincerely into his eyes, with seven parts expectation and three parts shyness, and say:
"Seven Nights, you still haven't answered me, do my feet smell good?"
Fortunately, Lin Qiye didn't have a sword on hand, otherwise this fatso would definitely not have seen the sun rise the next day.
Lin Qiye stretched, put the toothbrush in his mouth, and dragged the empty thermos to go out to wash up.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a massive crowd gathered at the dormitory building opposite. In the middle of the crowd, a Fatty exuding an aura of wealth and luxury was shouting at the top of his lungs:
"My comrades! I brought you some local specialties from my hometown. I hope you won't find them too cheap. I also hope you will take good care of me in the coming year!"
"Hey bro over there, don't fight over it! Everyone gets one!"
Baili Pangpang raised his round arm, which was covered with more than a dozen different luxury watches, making his hand look like a mummy, exuding an air of extravagance!
The surrounding recruits were immediately abuzz.
"Please don't misunderstand, I'm not some rich kid! I'm just a kid from an ordinary family, I just want to get along well with you all..."
— Clatter!
Looking at the chaotic dormitory building across the street, Lin Qiye opened his mouth in shock, and the toothbrush in his mouth fell to the ground.
"Just who is this fat guy?" he muttered to himself.
Even the richest young masters aren't this wealthy, are they? Giving every one of the two hundred-plus recruits in the entire boot camp an expensive watch? That's throwing money around!
However, even though the entire dormitory building was in an uproar, there were still some people in the crowd who remained unmoved.
Lin Qiye noticed that on the same floor, a boy was leaning against the wall in the hallway, coldly watching them.
He stood there as if in another world, giving off an air of incongruity, as if an invisible wall blocked out all the noise and commotion, his eyes calm as still water.
On the right side of the girls' dormitory building, a long-haired girl stood in the corridor, squinting at Baili Pangpang in the crowd, her eyes full of disdain.
And finally, there was his sister, bleary-eyed and yawning constantly as she carried her toothbrush toward the sink. As always, her hair was a mess, and she didn't even bother wearing her wig.
The more Lin Qiye observed, the more he realized that there were quite a few people secretly watching this farce. Some of them had indifferent expressions, some had mocking looks, some were contemptuous, and some were eager to make a move...
Baili Pangpang's move not only ignited the atmosphere in the recruits' dormitory, but also secretly revealed a hidden picture to Lin Qiye.
Similarly, when Lin Qiye noticed them, they also noticed each other.Just then, Instructor Hong, accompanied by several other instructors, stormed into the dormitory area. He looked up at the noisy dormitory building and began to curse loudly!
"What the hell are you all doing?!"
"A market is being set up? Huh?!"
"How about I hire a few strippers to dance for you to liven things up?"
Several loud shouts echoed between the dormitory buildings, and the new recruits gathered near Baili Pangpang scattered in a flash, leaving only Baili Pangpang clutching his arms full of watches, glancing down quietly, then silently lying down on the ground, muttering to himself.
"You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me..."
Instructor Hong's lips twitched slightly, but he continued shouting with a stern face:
"Don't think you can act recklessly just because the training hasn't officially started yet!! Let me tell you, once you step through that door, you're soldiers!!"
"Soldiers! Must be disciplined!!"
"This is the first time! I'll let you off this time! But if I find anyone causing trouble again, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Instructor Hong roared, "Did you understand?!"
"Understood!!" The voice came from the three dormitory buildings.
Instructor Hong's gaze, sharp as a knife, swept across the three dormitory buildings before he slowly spoke:
"Everyone, assemble at the training ground at 2 PM today!!!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the dormitory building with the other instructors.
Baili Pangpang peeked down through the gap in the corridor, hurriedly stood up, and ran to Lin Qiye's side with a handful of watches in his arms.
"That scared me to death... Luckily I hid quickly, otherwise I would have been discovered!" Baili Pangpang said, touching his heart with lingering fear.
Lin Qiye:...
"Sigh, it seems these remaining gifts won't be given away." Baili Pangpang looked down at the watch in his hand and sighed.
"Why are you so obsessed with giving gifts?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask.
"How can you build good relationships with others without giving gifts?" Baili Pangpang said matter-of-factly. "My dad always says that the most important thing in this world is interpersonal relationships..."
"..." Lin Qiye rolled his eyes. "If interpersonal relationships were everything in this world, then society would be dead."
After saying that, he didn't care whether Baili Pangpang understood or not, bent down to pick up his toothbrush, and continued walking towards the hot water room.
Only Baili Pangpang was left behind, scratching his head in confusion
....
Afternoon.
Lin Qiye changed into the military uniform he received from the supply station and headed straight for the training ground.
While trying to tuck his buttocks completely into his pants, Baili Pangpang hurriedly followed Lin Qiye, calling out every now and then, "Qiye, wait for me!"
When the two arrived at the training ground, almost everyone had already arrived, but they hadn't lined up yet; everyone was standing in random rows, and they looked to be of varying heights, builds, and builds.
Somehow, his sister even got down here before Lin Qiye, making him raise his eyebrows. Is there going to be a storm today? Seeing Lin Qiye with a shameless, suspicious face, Lin Xi Chen smirked and gave him a thumbs-up.
On the training platform, more than twenty instructors stood tall and straight, their postures as upright as pine trees!
Standing at the forefront, Chief Instructor Yuan Gang looked down at the chaotic crowd below, his eyes slightly narrowed...
