Huo Yingcheng turned around and saw He Niancheng with a cold expression.
“Major…”
Huo Yingcheng was about to shout his designation out loud when He Niancheng’s cold gaze narrowed towards him. It frightened him, and so, he immediately corrected himself. “Brother, didn’t I tell you I would go next week?”
“You must remember that our identities cannot be exposed. The brass of China allowed us to have a special treatment, but after all, it’s China and not the Empire. We can’t be too over the top for some things.”
Huo Yingcheng nodded. “Yes, yes, yes, Brother. I know.”
He Niancheng was older than him, so he called him ‘Brother’.
However, with how they looked, Huo Yingcheng seemed to look much scruffier and rougher than He Niancheng. People who did not know them would definitely think that he was older than He Niancheng. Knowing this, it made Huo Yingcheng feel a little melancholic.
It had been two days since they arrived, and since then, most people thought he looked older…
“Oh, by the way, Brother. I saw that fatty we met three times on the street before! She’s called Gu… something Qingjiu. It’s really a coincidence. Is this a kind of fate the people of China often say? I’ll go and get to know her some other day.”
He Niancheng brought dinner over and ate a mouthful with a pair of chopsticks before he frowned and put down the chopsticks. To Huo Yingcheng he replied, “I don’t know her.”
Huo Yingcheng knew his personality. He never cared about people he did not know. Seeing his expression, Huo Yingcheng advised, “Get to know her, Brother. At least we were given special treatment. Without the exquisite food from the Empire, we can only endure it. It’ll be okay after a year!”
Hearing Huo Yingcheng’s words, He Niancheng only continued to pick up food with his chopsticks. But this time, his eyes were fixed on the pair of communal chopsticks for a while and then he put it down and pursed his lips. “Find an excuse to go out during the weekend and buy some things that are for my personal use.”
Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
They finally came to the canteen to have a meal after two days of receiving special treatment, but he was being so dramatic. Could he have some awareness of being exiled!
Gu Qingjiu and the others were assigned to the female dormitory. In addition to Yu Bao’er and her, they shared a room with the girl with narrow, upturned eyes and a refreshing girl with two small canine teeth showing when she smiled. Her eyes were big, like those cute girls from the 2D world.
She had a better attitude than the girl with narrow upturned eyes. When they went into the room and had put down their luggage, she smiled and said, “Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er, right? You can choose the bunk first. Me and Yunyun will choose after you’re done.”
She seemed like a very polite girl.
The ‘Yunyun’ she mentioned was the girl with the narrow upturned eyes. Hearing her saying this, the girl with the narrow and upturned eyes looked at Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er and snorted.
Yu Bao’er looked at the girl with a guarded look and then chose the upper and lower bunks on the left. “Qingjiu and I want this side.”
She did not hesitate at all.
To the big-eyed girl, Gu Qingjiu said, “Thank you.”
She smiled, and when she did so, it showed her small canine teeth. She looked sweet and generous. “You’re welcome.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded and turned around. Yu Bao’er wanted to tell Gu Qingjiu that she wanted the lower bunk when the latter pointed at the lower bunk and asked, “Can I sleep in the lower bunk?”
She would toss and turn around at night, so she was afraid that it would be noisy for Yu Bao’er if the girl was to sleep in the lower bunk.
When Yu Bao’er heard her speak, she proudly raised her face. “You’re begging me?”
Gu Qingjiu lowered her eyes. “I’ll sleep on the top bunk.”
Yu Bao’er said, “Fine, fine fine. You sleep in the lower bunk. I’m just kidding!”
