Unfortunately, they were too late. There wasn’t even any meat gravy left. There were not many vegetables left, but there was enough for the few of them. It’s just that there was no meat available.
“Hmm, Ye Jian, why are you here? You haven’t eaten. This…” Several boys who were keeping the plates saw Ye Jian and stopped their work as they saw their classmate that they haven’t seen for days. “You came at a bad time, these are the only food left.”
The instructor in charge of Class One came over and Ye Jian saluted, “Ye Jian from Grade Eleven-Class One, reporting!”
Her words were filled with power, shocking the instructor. This… this is not a student. She’s probably a veteran who had enlisted for a longer time than him. There was even a foreboding aura coming from her, and she was more formidable than an instructor like him.
Ye Jian? Isn’t that the girl that went to take care of someone sick? Why is she back?
The young instructor’s face was dark after being tanned by the sun and he saluted back, “Go eat, come earlier for dinner.” He then turned to An Jiaxin, “The few of you are always late for dinner. If this was a battlefield, many of your comrades would be dragged to death because of you.”
That was absolutely true, and Ye Jian could understand that. But not the rest of them.
An Jiaxin murmured softly, “How can we eat this…”
“It’s better than nothing. Make do with this, come earlier for dinner.” The somber-faced instructor roared, causing Li Qian to tremble as she cried, “Eat, eat. I’ll eat…”
The instructor was in his early twenties. Seeing that two girls were crying in front of him because of food, he added pumpkin and vegetables. “Having something to eat is good enough! If you want better food, why don’t you come earlier? Come earlier for dinner, just eat this for lunch.”
They didn’t dare to talk back, and the instructor personally added the food. They could only accept whatever that was left and send the instructor away.
“Come earlier the next time. We initially left some meat, but they were snatched. Eat your vegetables, it’s good for losing weight.” The boys said optimistically and took out stainless steel plates for the girls to take their food.
Ye Jian was not a picky eater. She ate raw food and wild vegetables when she was following Principal Chen in the jungles of Western Province for her training. Now that there were soup and water to drink, it was good enough. There was even boiled pumpkin. Her stomach would definitely be filled up.
She didn’t have many requirements, she just wanted to be full.
But this pumpkin… Ye Jian raised her eyebrows and looked at the bitter An Jiaxin. She didn’t eat pumpkins, and she had the urge to cry now.
“I hate eating pumpkins the most.” An Jiaxin, who felt wronged, wanted to shove the plate away. But this was the army, and she didn’t dare to do so and just accepted her fate.
She was also afraid of the instructor, and gritted her teeth as she ate the pumpkin that she hated most, “I will order a table of meat when I get back! I want to eat braised pork!”
They had their meals in the same place. A few boys who finished faster sat down and talked, and a few sat outside and saw Ye Jian. Their response was similar to Lu Xin’s.
“Woah, Ye Jian, why are you back? This is not a place for humans. Why did you come here?”
“Is your relative discharged from the hospital? Damn, even if it’s not the hospital, you could still take care of your relative at home. It’s so tiring here, even boys like us can’t stand it.”
Everyone in class saw Ye Jian and greeted her cheerfully. Sitting not too far away, Yao Jing looked at her coldly and said to Ye Ying, “Did you see? She’s here. How’s the situation at Luo Ran’s side?”
