Chapter 791: Chapter 790: Overthinking_1 Chapter 791: Chapter 790: Overthinking_1 “Don’t worry, I won’t put you at a disadvantage. I used to support Zhou Xiang, but if you help me, I will support you.”
She really is… unabashedly acting like a fence-sitter!
But, she did manage to pique Nan Fei’s interest with one point.
“Friends, yes, but I don’t like playing matchmaker for others.”
With those words, she headed for the playground. Zhuo Xiaoxiao quickly followed, chattering as she walked: “Let’s negotiate terms! I can really help you! Oh right, Zhou Xiang is quite petty and grudge-holding. You’ve offended her today, so you’re finished!”
Nan Fei didn’t respond.
But Zhuo Xiaoxiao didn’t seem discouraged. She was fighting with the tenacity of a little sparrow, all for the sake of beauty.
“Zhou Xiang has solid backing, one of her cousins is one of our cadet instructors when we enroll. You’re doomed in the military school for the next three months!”
That’s right! The military school’s entry training lasts three months, it’s intensive, militarized, following the standards of real soldiers.
It’s pretty brutal. This level of training happens several times a year and includes basic training, and various military competitions. Training intensity and duration vary depending on the chosen department.
Nan Fei chose the rather unpopular Information Engineering and Cybersecurity, because she knows the future direction. Militarization will gradually lean towards high-tech, and battles will no longer be fought with bayonets.
The most popular now is the Military Command Department, followed by Medical, Communication, and Arts, which is a favorite among female soldiers.
“Her cousin’s very powerful, sure to scare you!”
“Her cousin is the niece of the Minister of National Defense, not someone we can afford to offend.”
Nan Fei suddenly stopped walking, turned around, and looked at her with a deep gaze. “Lu Dongxin?”
“Zhou Xiang’s cousin’s name!”
“I think that’s her name. I’ve been following her around these last few days, heard her bragging about it to everyone.” Zhuo Xiaoxiao, feeling rather smug, raised an eyebrow. “Why else do you think so many people hang around Zhou Xiang! They all want to leverage her connections! And the representative speech for the new students, that’s going to be her. From what I’ve heard, that spot should originally have been yours…”
Not wanting to listen to her babbling any longer, Nan Fei interrupted, “Yu Xiaoxiao.”
“What?” It took a moment for Zhuo Xiaoxiao to register what she had said. Immediately, she became ecstatic, and giggled, “Ha ha ha! His name is Yu Xiaoxiao! And it matches my name perfectly, doesn’t it? His name is Yu Xiaoxiao, and mine is Zhuo Xiaoxiao, we’re a match made in heaven! He must’ve been born for me.”
This young girl, was her imagination running wild?
Outside the school, a long line of vehicles with red lettering was coming in. Among the long row of military-green cars, a single black sedan stood out, catching the attention of many passersby.
To welcome these distinguished visitors from the Ministry of National Defense, the school had organized a special welcoming committee.
All of them were old acquaintances. As soon as they got out of their cars, they greeted each other familiarly, with the most talked-about topic being the upcoming military exercise.
Speaking of which, the most outstanding achievement this year was attributable to the suddenly emerging 36th Division.
No one expected the once obscure 36th Division to perform so well in the previous military exercise. Not only were the people within the Second Army surprised, every army within the Northern Military District was shocked.
The ones who couldn’t accept this outcome were the 129th Army.
