Yang Xiaoli cast a indifferent glance at her: "Even if you fainted, no one would care, stop daydreaming."
"Ah, comparing people can kill you, I really don’t know how she was chosen." Yuan Mengmeng snorted coldly, "Being in the same class with the last in the team, that’s really lucky."
Qi Jihong grabbed Chuxia who just happened to walk by: "Lin Chuxia, don’t bother with Yuan Mengmeng, she’s just jealous!"
"What am I jealous of?" Yuan Mengmeng rolled her eyes, "Please, if you’re going to suck up, do it right, did you think flattering Lin Chuxia would make the captain look at you differently?"
"You’re just jealous that Lin Chuxia happened to meet Regimental Commander Zhou when she fainted, have the courage to admit it, what’s the point in just being good with words?" said Qi Jihong.
"Who’s jealous?" continued Yuan Mengmeng, rolling her eyes, "I just can’t stand how the worst performer always gets special treatment, can train with less burden, eat better, what’s next, special accommodation in a single room too?"
"Enough, cut it out, Qi Jihong, let go of Lin Chuxia, don’t mess up the captain’s business," said Yang Xiaoli.
"Lin Chuxia, remember our class’s honor."
"You’d die if you weren’t jealous?"
"You dare say you aren’t jealous? If not, why do you always target Chuxia?"
"I’m not targeting her, it’s just that the treatment she gets is unfair compared to what we receive!"
"How is it unfair, do you have no sympathy at all?"
"Sympathy? When you’re in the army, everyone is supposed to be the same, why should anyone be pitied?"
"Who asked for your pity?"
"You said to show sympathy!"
As she walked out, the sound of Yuan Mengmeng arguing with Luo Xiaoqiong still came through occasionally. Chuxia sighed deeply; it seemed she really had to work harder than others, otherwise, these doubts would always accompany her.
At the same time, she felt incredibly wronged. Choosing her was the leaders’ decision; she hadn’t bribed or used back doors, why should she be targeted ?
It wasn’t her fault for being physically weak!
Those who liked to talk should really experience tough times and wear themselves out to understand how she felt! If possible, who wouldn’t want to be in great health?
Who likes the feeling of not having enough to eat every day?
She sniffed hard, pulling back the hint of tears, and scolded herself silently, "Lin Chuxia, what are you trying to do? Can’t you even endure this bit of hardship?"
Yes, since fate had laid out this path for her, she should just accept it, what’s the point in always feeling sorry for herself?
Also, she needed to talk to Zeng Meili, and ask her to stop calling her to the office whenever she liked; regardless of the reason, people always think that being close to the leadership meant being favored.
Yes, she admitted she was favored, but being constantly doubted was really frustrating.
Chuxia, startled, looked up to see Rao Xue suddenly appearing in front of her: "What’s up?"
"Regimental Commander Zhou is my man, keep your distance, understand?"
"Crazy!" Feeling upset, Chuxia rolled her eyes at her and continued walking.
Rao Xue caught up: "I’ve given you a heads-up, if you dare to have designs on Regimental Commander Zhou, don’t blame me for not being nice!"
"Crazy!" Chuxia glared at her, trying to walk faster, but Rao Xue grabbed her, "I’m serious, I’m not joking, the commander is my sister’s classmate and a good friend of hers, my purpose for joining the army is to marry Regimental Commander Zhou."
"What do you marrying him have to do with me?" Chuxia replied irritably, that bland man, as if she cared for him? If it weren’t for his past help, she wouldn’t bother with him.
Okay, maybe that was an exaggeration, even if he hadn’t helped, she was not in a position to disregard him, after all, he was a high-ranking officer, and she? Just a sickly rural female soldier.
Rao Xue was also delusional, how could Zhou Mikang like her fillet-sized self?
But then again, she shouldn’t be too hard on Rao Xue, had she not also suspected that Zhou Mikang liked her? At that thought, she felt her face burn with embarrassment, why did she ask him that stupid question at that time?
He must have nearly died laughing internally?
If Rao Xue knew she had a connection through his sister, she probably wouldn’t be so fixated on her. But, that was the Zhou family’s secret, not hers to share, let Rao Xue worry for the time being, she believed that once Rao Xue realized that Zhou Mikang was not interested in her, she would be assured.
