Chapter 212

More and more people were gathering on the playground. Some soldiers in military uniforms walked out from the building across, one of them jogging over to gesture everyone to keep quiet and line up by themselves.

The students who were present had not yet entered the state and were confused, dragging their luggage around chaotically. It took a lot of effort just to maintain order.

Fortunately, most people were obedient and went wherever they were told to stand.

The man in the lead wearing the military uniform sighed, involuntarily recalling the words of his superior at the recent meeting, saying that after a meeting in the city, this school in particular was named for its overly casual military training in the past. Many people easily got an exemption from military training with a certificate, so by graduation many students had never participated in military training.

Starting this year, directives had been issued from above to treat this seriously, thoroughly rectify the situation, and crack down on typical cases, starting with this university! Students with health issues or others would need to personally review them in order to be allowed exemption, and no one will be allowed to muddle through the whole process!

He glanced at the time:

"Is it about time? Is everyone here?"

The young soldier beside him stood ramrod straight: "Reporting Captain! We're taking count!"

During the counting process, there were still students trickling in groups of three or four, dragging their luggage.

Seeing everyone already lined up, they inevitably picked up the pace.

Everyone saw that the last one to arrive was Qin Wei.

Her arrival caused a commotion in the line.

Some people couldn't help but whisper among themselves -

"I'm not seeing things right, she only brought a 20 inch small broken box plus a backpack? Of all the people here, she brought the least stuff right? Isn't she followed by a bunch of assistants carrying her remaining nine boxes?"

"Small broken box? That's a Dior Rimowa collab limited edition box, 29 thousand yuan each..."

"Tsk tsk... celebrities sure have money... even the bag is branded..."

"You're overestimating me, those were given by sponsors..."

"Then what about the clothes and shoes? I don't remember her having collaborated with Prada..."

"But Prada's spokesperson is Qiao..."

"..."

She came over alone, with no one following behind.

Under the watch of over a thousand pairs of eyes, Qin Wei's expressionlessly joined the end of the line.

It could be said that this was all Li Yao's fault.

When they were close to arriving, he had insisted on getting out of the car to buy her food. She didn't want to eat at all, only wanting to quickly get there on time.

As a result, they were late.

On the first day!!

Leaving a bad impression on everyone! Later on, Li Hanming told her:

"Actually there wasn't a bad impression, everyone felt like even a top star like you would want to put on some airs, being late matched people's expectations."

Qin Wei was still thinking, fortunately the school had three campuses, only a third of the total military training participants were training here, so the probability of leaving a bad impression on everyone was lower than expected.

However, there were some details she had yet to notice, such as the group of people by the stage setting up equipment to film.

"Reporting Captain! Statistics complete for East City Campus’ attendance! Expected attendees 1123 people, actual attendees 1123 people!"

The sonorous voice echoed above the playground, and everyone quieted down.

Captain: "All classes go back and organize your housekeeping."

The soldier beside him shouted:

"All instructors gather your team members and head back!"

Over a thousand people were divided into two large groups, one group brought to District 2 for living skills training, while the remaining people were further divided into four groups, each with about 120 people. Then each group was divided into male and female teams, with roughly equal numbers of people, and brought to the living quarters area.

From beginning to end, the arrangements were very clear. Before everyone could figure out what was happening, they were brought with the team to the dormitory building.

"Male students 2nd floor, female students 3rd floor, find your assigned bed according to your name, put down luggage and standby in place!"

Said the instructor leading the team,

"What are you still stunned for?! Hurry up and go!"

Only then did the students come back to their senses, pulling their luggage as they walked towards the dorm building.

A few gentlemen among the team came over looking for Qin Wei, scrambling to help carry her luggage.

"Senior sister, the box looks heavy, let me help!"

"Senior sister, he has a lot of luggage, I only have this one, it's convenient."

"I came over first!"

Just as things were getting lively, the luggage was picked up and carried away by someone walking over from behind.

One look at the back view and it was recognizable as an old friend.

It could also be considered as saving her from the situation. Qin Wei thanked them, then hurried to follow along.

The few who were struggling to carry luggage were stunned for a moment - that new student, was the celebrity Li Hanming right?

He actually snatched the chance before them.

The few of them wore faces of dissatisfaction.

"Since you guys care so much for senior sister, you should've heard of 'Qin Times Moon' right?"

A female student walked by carrying her luggage, helpfully resolving their doubts,

"Although I'm his fan, little puppies, who doesn't love them?"

...

"Long time no see, little Hanming."

Qin Wei walked side by side into the dorm building with him, attracting many looks.

Wherever the two of them went attracted looks, and them being together now had an amplified effect.

"Nice to meet you again, Sister Wei." Li Hanming smiled at her, the two only exchanging greetings, not saying anything else.

Li Hanming stopped on the 2nd floor, then looked upwards and said to Qin Wei:

"The female dorms are upstairs, I can't go up, you'll have to go the rest yourself from here, I trust that you can do it Sister Wei."

A few enthusiastic female students walked by:

"Hanming can't go upstairs, let us help carry it up! Don't tire yourself out Hanming, military training is tiring! You have to take care of yourself!"

These were fans Li Hanming had met.

Li Hanming nodded while saying "Thanks, but Sister Wei can do it herself."

Li Hanming had confidence in Qin Wei - after all, carrying the luggage box was only to help her out of an awkward situation earlier. He was still clear on what kind of capability she had.

Qin Wei politely declined everyone's offers to help, carrying the luggage box upstairs herself.

Now that's more like it.

Li Hanming watched her go upstairs. Although Qin Wei was timid, she also wasn't a weak and delicate girl.

...

Upstairs.

She had thought there would still be effort needed to find the room number and such. The moment Qin Wei stepped through the door she was shocked stiff -

The spacious room was filled with dozens of bunk beds lined up two by two in rows.

It was quite a spectacular sight.

At another glance, there was a A4 printout pasted on the door that said -

"Battalion 3, Company 4, Female Dorms, 69 people."

This was way too many people!

The room was large enough and space between bunks was ample too, there was no issue of overcrowding per se, just that...

Anyone walking in would stand stunned at the door for 3 seconds.

"Even the Terracotta Pit No. 3 doesn't have more than 68..."

Qin Wei couldn't help but sigh emotionally.

The people who overheard agreed with nods.

She dragged her luggage inwards. The further in she went the more she felt as if she had entered a warehouse. Finally she located her assigned lower bunk bed further inside -

The bed had clean linens laid out, with a set of camo uniform folded on top.

Thoughtful arrangements, each person also had a small bedside cabinet.

Below the bed sat a pair of slippers.

Where to put her box...

Before she could think it through, a harsh whistle sounded as the soldier from that morning's broadcast at the parade square walked in.

By now he had already changed into camo training attire, looking sternly at every person.

"When I blow the whistle, each one of you present has to stop what you are doing, stand at attention!"
