Chapter 873: Chapter 872: Sneer Chapter 873: Chapter 872: Sneer Distanced and unfamiliar, she didn’t recognize anyone and simply followed a new recruit towards the dormitory area.
Although she couldn’t see the people standing at attention, the crowd could see her. Just then, there was no instructor around, and the crowd couldn’t help but discuss in whispers.
The first to speak were the boys, their lineup closer to the outside, so they had a clearer view.
“Wasn’t that beauty who just passed by from our school? The camouflage uniform she’s wearing has our school’s letters on it.”
To be admitted to a military academy, one must first pass checks for vision, hearing, height, etc. The ones selected didn’t have poor eyesight. Although it was somewhat far, the few red letters on the olive-green camouflage could still be made out.
There are only two universities where military training is currently conducted, one being the National Defense University, known as the top military school, and the other is the Artillery College.
Different schools have different insignias.
“Can you tell it’s a beauty from so far away?”
“Of course! Her skin is so fair it glows under the sun; how could it not be noticeable?”
“Is she prettier than Zhou Xiang?”
This year’s most famous and popular freshman was Zhou Xiang. With her handsome appearance and poised speech during the freshman speech, she had won the support and affection of many students.
When Zhou Xiang was mentioned, the group of men quieted down.
They weren’t fools; discussing who is prettier in front of the girls could seriously offend people.
Zhuo Xiaoxiao was a clever trickster, and these days, she had been looking forward to Jiang Nanfei’s return to suppress Zhou Xiang’s arrogance a bit. Now, hearing that someone new had just passed by, she guessed it must definitely be Jiang Nanfei.
She had taken ten days off, and today happened to be the tenth day; no one else dared to take such a long leave.
“He Shasha, Jiang Nanfei is back,” Zhuo Xiaoxiao leaned forward to speak to He Shasha, who was standing in front of her.
“Did you see her?” He Shasha asked, maintaining her military posture and responding listlessly.
“I saw her, it’s her, who else could be that beautiful?” Zhuo Xiaoxiao cast a sorrowful glance around; after ten days of harsh sun, all the beautiful young ladies had turned as black as charcoal.
The just-passed-by Jiang Nanfei was still brilliantly white, truly a painful contrast.
Yet when she saw Zhou Xiang standing at the forefront, acting as the instructor’s assistant, she suddenly felt delighted and even let out an exaggerated laugh.
With Zhou Xiang eager for a chance to pick on someone, she was looking in this direction all along! Now hearing the laughter, she shouted loudly, “Zhuo Xiaoxiao, step out!”
The surrounding people all looked at her with sympathetic eyes.
The military training had only started ten days ago, and Zhuo Xiaoxiao had been called out many times already.
“Yes!” Zhuo Xiaoxiao cursed Zhou Xiang inwardly while stepping out properly.
Zhou Xiang’s phoenix eyes lifted skeptically as she imitated the instructor’s manner and shouted, “Attention, at ease!”
Zhuo Xiaoxiao had no choice but to follow suit, and after completing the action, Zhou Xiang severely scolded her.
“Lack of strength, incorrect posture, you’re making our school lose face.”
Zhuo Xiaoxiao couldn’t bear it anymore, she rolled her eyes and retorted, “How am I losing face? As a nobody, if I can make the National Defense University lose face, then our school would have long lost its face.”
The people around burst into roaring laughter.
Zhou Xiang was favored by the instructor and was responsible for maintaining order in his absence. It was not easy for her to be selected for this position, and if she performed poorly, it would be her own prestige at risk.
“Quiet!” Zhou Xiang was infuriated by Zhuo Xiaoxiao’s words, but couldn’t find a quick retort and could only shout loudly, “Anyone who laughs, don’t expect to sleep tonight, stand until tomorrow morning.”
