Chapter 205 New Life
The dormitory is an eight-person room with upper and lower bunks, which have already been divided. The four of them are on the two beds inside, Murong Xue and Bao Jingjing on the lower bunk, Mu Xiaoqiao on Murong Xue's upper bunk, and Gao Qi on Bao Jingjing's upper bunk.
Arriving at the dormitory, Murong Xue saw that her bed was the lower bunk, so she immediately threw her luggage aside and lay on the bed, closing her eyes and sighing, "Oh my God, I'm so tired, this bed is so hard, squad leader, can you put two more quilts on it? It's so hard, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."
The squad leader who brought them up was a short girl with small eyes, neat short hair, and two dimples when she smiled. Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't imagine how someone with such a thin body could become a special forces soldier.
The girl's name was Chen Qianqian, and she also lived in this dormitory. To be exact, she was the only veteran left in this dormitory. Together with the four of them, there were a total of five people living there. Chen Qianqian was very approachable. Hearing this, she just smiled and said, "There is no special treatment in the army. Everyone is the same. Come, let me tell you, there are usually no extra things allowed on our beds. The quilts must be kept in the shape of tofu blocks every day. There can be nothing under the bed. The washbasins must be placed in a row. There can only be lunch boxes on the table, and they must be placed neatly. Extra things must be placed in the cabinet..."
Chen Qianqian talked a lot, and the more she talked, the more Murong Xue's face fell. On the other hand, Bao Jingjing, perhaps because she had acted in too many military dramas, was used to these things and did not bring much luggage. Mu Xiaoqiao had lived for many lifetimes, so these were naturally not a problem for her. She only brought one suitcase this time.
Gao Qi and Murong Xue's situation was more exaggerated. Each of them carried two large boxes, plus a large bag. They complained bitterly when they just brought them up. Now looking at the small cabinet, they were even more worried, not knowing how to stuff the things in.
At this moment, someone at the door shouted, "Stand at attention."
Everyone in the room stood up straight immediately as a reflex. Zhou Hanqing strode in, looked at the suitcases in the middle of the room, frowned, and said, "I'll give you five minutes to hand in all the snacks, cosmetics, and extra things. Only the spare clothes and toiletries will be left. Chen Qianqian will be in charge of supervision and will check in five minutes."
"Yes!" Chen Qianqian answered loudly. After Zhou Hanqing left, Gao Qi immediately complained, "Why did you take away the cosmetics? How can we put on makeup? This is a show that will be broadcast. I don't want to appear without makeup."
Mu Xiaoqiao whispered: "Squad leader, can we put on some sunscreen?" She didn't care whether she was wearing any makeup or not, but the weather in July and August was still very strong, and it would be difficult to recover if she got sunburned.
Chen Qianqian shook her head apologetically. She was also there when they were jogging just now and had a good impression of Mu Xiaoqiao. She thought that this girl was pretty and generous, not pretentious at all, and had a strong personality. She gave a very good first impression.
Seeing her shake her head, Mu Xiaoqiao stopped talking and started to open the suitcase and pack her things. She didn't usually eat snacks, so she didn't bring any with her. She just took some simple cosmetics and left the necessary skin care products. She put everything else in a cosmetic bag and gave it to Chen Qianqian.
Bao Jingjing and Mu Xiaoqiao were in a similar situation, they only handed in a small bag. Gao Qi and Murong Xue were still hesitating and didn't want to hand it in. Mu Xiaoqiao even caught a glimpse of Murong Xue secretly stuffing foundation inside her clothes, but she just pretended not to see it.
When the five minutes were up, Zhou Hanqing appeared again, this time with a female officer. He said, "Let me introduce you to our instructor for this training, Yang Xiao. Let's welcome instructor Yang."
Everyone applauded, Yang Xiao saluted everyone, and then said: "If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to come to me."
Zhou Hanqing said, "Okay, now everyone open your boxes and let Instructor Yang check them. If anyone is found hiding something that shouldn't be kept, you will have to do 200 push-ups."
After saying that, he walked out. Everyone opened their suitcases. Yang Xiao carefully checked them one by one. Bao Jingjing and Mu Xiaoqiao were frank, while Gao Qi and Murong Xue had their own thoughts. Finally, two lipsticks, a bottle of liquid foundation, and a bag of chocolate were found in Gao Qi's luggage, while Murong Xue secretly hid foundation, blush, eyebrow pencil, lipstick, as well as potato chips and biscuits...
Yang Xiao looked at Gao Qi and Murong Xue, raised the things in his hands, and said, "Do push-ups."
Murong Xue said with a bitter face: "Counselor, please be flexible..."
Yang Xiao was unmoved and said calmly: "A soldier's duty is to obey orders. There is no such thing as compromise." Although he did not speak harshly, his attitude was firm and he would not tolerate any refusal.
Gao Qi and Murong Xue lay down angrily and started to do it. It was only the first day and their arms were almost broken. Murong Xue started to sob while doing it, but no one comforted her.
Yang Xue nodded to Mu Xiaoqiao and Bao Jingjing and said, "You are good, keep it up."
They both answered at the same time: "Yes."
In the midst of her busy schedule, Gao Qi snorted coldly to express her dissatisfaction, but again, no one paid any attention to her.
At the same time, the same scene was playing out in the boys' dormitory. Ruan Haoyu and Qi Nanfeng naturally didn't hide anything. Just kidding, they are a big movie star, a domineering president, and a big singer, and they are hiding things like children. It is really out of character and they both disdain to do that.
But the other two kids didn’t think so. As teenage idol boys, they loved beauty just as much as the girls. They also secretly hid some sunscreen and foundation, as well as some food. But without exception, all of them were found out by Zhou Hanqing. At this moment, they were doing push-ups with a look of great resentment.
"In half an hour, pack your things, change your clothes, and gather downstairs for dinner."
The matter in the dormitory finally came to an end. Mu Xiaoqiao tied her hair into a high ponytail, which made her look neat and refreshing. Girls in the army were not allowed to have long hair, all of them had short hair. However, they were not real soldiers after all, and they had to return to normal work in three months, so they were not asked to cut their hair.
Because they were not punished to do push-ups, Bao Jingjing and Mu Xiaoqiao had plenty of time. After packing up, they both went to the bathroom to wash their faces. This time, Bao Jingjing took the initiative to talk to Mu Xiaoqiao.
"I heard Sister Qin Chu talk about you."
Mu Xiaoqiao also had a good impression of Bao Jingjing. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Really? What did she say about me?"
Bao Jingjing curled her lips and smiled. She had a dignified look, and her smile was like the sunshine in winter, which made people feel warm in their hearts. She said, "She said that you are very good and have a promising future."
Mu Xiaoqiao also smiled. Qin Chu would definitely not say anything bad about her. She was very sure of that. "Then I want to thank Sister Chuchu for recognizing me."
Bao Jingjing added: "Sister Qin Chu is the person I trust the most and the person I admire the most. She helps me a lot on weekdays. I am where I am today because of Sister Qin Chu, so her friends are my friends. In the past three months, if you need any help from me, just tell me directly."
Bao Jingjing was also a straightforward person, and so was Mu Xiaoqiao, so she didn't pretend to refuse, but agreed and said, "Then I thank you in advance, and you too, don't be polite to me when you need it."
The two smiled at each other, both appreciating each other, feeling that they had met too late. Bao Jingjing said as she washed her face, "I see that Gao Qi and Murong Xue don't seem to be very friendly to you. Do you have any grudges against each other?"
Mu Xiaoqiao said nonchalantly, "There were some minor frictions before, but it's not a big deal. I won't argue with them. This time, I just want to do a good job on the show and train myself. After all, this opportunity is rare."
"Yes, you have the same idea as me. But actually this is not my first time in a military camp. I'm used to eating and living with the soldiers when I was filming before. But this time I'm in a special forces unit. This is not an ordinary unit. They practice devilish training, so I have to stay alert at all times and take advantage of every opportunity to rest and recover my strength. Otherwise, it's really hard to hold on."
Mu Xiaoqiao nodded, "I'm mentally prepared, don't worry."
The two of them changed into military uniforms refreshingly. Since the formal training would not start until tomorrow, they wore casual clothes today. These artists had outstanding looks. Once they put on the military uniforms, they all looked heroic and had upright postures. Ruan Haoyu had never seen Mu Xiaoqiao like this. When he saw her in the military uniform without makeup, she looked several years younger than before. His eyes lit up.
