"Captain, Captain! I found out what’s going on!" He rushed over and pounded on the door while shouting loudly, "The Female Supervisor Guards from the cultural team are here!"
It took Meng Xinian a while to open the door because, ever since that surprise visit from Chiang Xiao, he now meticulously locks the door every time he takes a shower and always puts on clothes before opening it afterward.
Yes, that kind of incident absolutely cannot happen again.
Thinking of Chiang Xiao, his expression softened a great deal.
"The cultural team’s?"
The Female Supervisor Guards from the cultural team are here, do those guys have to stand there and strain their throats singing? Shouldn’t it be after lunchtime now? Aren’t they all still hanging around in the cafeteria?
"Yes, yes! And, it’s the same girls from the cultural team that were talked about in the newspaper last time!" Zhao Xin grinned from ear to ear, "They said the prettiest girl from the newspaper is also here! But I haven’t seen her. Captain, they’re performing in the auditorium tonight, the deputy captain said everyone is going to watch! 7:30!"
The girl from the newspaper?
Meng Xinian suddenly frowned slightly, as he seemed to have some recollection. He was in the hospital in Capital City at the time and had seen that newspaper.
He wondered why the girl seemed familiar just now; turns out she was the one who had been in the newspaper.
However, now Meng Xinian’s impression of her had plummeted.
She was just a delicate woman after all, making a fuss about a tiny scratch as if injured, and even found fault with him, complaining that he would dirty her dress if he helped her.
Tch, had he said he would help her?
These thoughts merely flitted through Meng Xinian’s mind in an instant.
"Hmm what?" Zhao Xin was immediately confused, "Captain, remember, 7:30, you must come watch!"
Meng Xinian nodded perfunctorily in agreement. If he didn’t go, Zhao Erleng would nag him for an hour and he wouldn’t get anything done. So he might as well go. Later, he could write to Chiang Xiaoxiao about it, and if she was interested, he could take her to see a performance of the cultural team whenever there was a chance.
Having obtained agreement from Meng Xinian, Zhao Xin hurried off to shower in his dormitory. He had almost been kicked out of the cafeteria just now because he reeked.
Meng Xinian dried his hair, left his clothes soaking, and prepared to go to the small cafeteria to get a takeaway meal.
The small cafeteria was for those like him who couldn’t make meal times due to training, but the food was quite ordinary. Fortunately, with Chiang Xiaoxiao’s deep-fried mushrooms and salt-and-pepper shredded pork, even such plain rice could taste very delicious.
He dared not bring it to the cafeteria because those guys are like little wolves, sure to devour it if he did.
Chiang Xiaoxiao had previously brought some especially for them, but they couldn’t resist and gobbled it up as soon as they got their hands on it.
Now, trying to get a little more from him was simply impossible.
Meng Xinian, carrying his aluminum lunch box, headed to the small cafeteria, only to run into Liu Chunzhen. Liu Chunzhen had already eaten, but Du Jinruo hadn’t yet.
Upon hearing the singing from the cafeteria, Du Jinruo didn’t want to go over at that time because her dress was dirty and her hand was injured, and she needed to change clothes.
So Liu Chunzhen was going to get food for her.
"Meng Xinian? You’re Meng Xinian, aren’t you?" Liu Chunzhen recognized Meng Xinian right away because he bore some resemblance to his parents.
