Chapter 1678 Military Training Begins
After receiving their clothes and books, everyone went their separate ways.

Seeing Wang Yan leave with an empty backpack and return with a full one, Yu Hao, who had come to visit, asked, "Why did you all go out and buy so much stuff?"

Jiang Yunming replied, "Didn't Xiao Haiyang say that there's not much good food at the military training area, and the small supermarket there doesn't have everything and it's expensive, so of course we have to bring our own? They didn't say we couldn't."

Ma Jun chimed in from the side, "Yeah, bring some with you, so you can eat better over there."

Luan Mengyu chuckled, "Xiao Haiyang has already gained advanced experience, so of course we should learn from him. The other dorms have also bought them, don't tell me you guys didn't?"

"Of course we're going to buy it," Yu Hao said insincerely. "But don't tell me Xiao Haiyang didn't tell you there would be an inspection at the base, or are you just selectively ignoring him?"

"Let's bring it first and we'll talk about it later. I don't believe they'll let me open the supermarket but won't let me bring anything, forcing me to spend double the money to go to that supermarket? What kind of logic is that?" Wang Yan said, displaying the spirit of youth.

"You better be!"

Yu Hao rolled his eyes, then changed the subject, "You probably don't know, but Xiao Haiyang has another piece of advice he hasn't told you."

"what?"

"sanitary napkin!"

"sanitary napkin?"

Yu Hao said smugly, "You brought the shoes back and tested how hard the soles were. Twenty days! A full twenty days! Running and jumping in these worn-out shoes, how could our delicate feet withstand that? That's when sanitary napkins come in handy, they're soft, skin-friendly, and absorbent."

Otherwise, think about it, in such hot weather, wearing worn-out boots will only make your feet sweatier. Of course, you also need to prepare band-aids to prevent blisters on your heels and toes, and to protect them from discomfort. These are all wise words from our ancestors, so enjoy them!

"Oh, Wang Yan doesn't need that. He's a beast; he can rack up 30,000 steps on WeChat in a morning. He doesn't need anything. I reckon when we get to the military training base, none of the soldiers can outrun him. Oh no, not only can they not outrun him, they probably can't even beat him; he's been practicing martial arts since he was a kid."

So a large group of people then started researching sanitary napkins...

Yu Hao whispered to Wang Yan, "You'd never guess, Xiao Haiyang has a whole drawer full of sanitary napkins that he's been using for two years without finishing them. His ex-girlfriend bought them! I'm telling you, I haven't told anyone else about this. Let's keep this to ourselves, don't make it seem like we're being nosy."

……

Before dawn, the area in front of the teaching building of Southern Media University was already bustling with activity.

Some students hadn't slept, while others had only slept for a short time before having to get up. They were all yawning and drowsy, but once they reached the teaching building, they were all alert.

Everyone was wearing the same military training uniform, some with backpacks and some with suitcases, and they lined up by class.

Wang Yan stood in the group, looking energetic with his large outdoor backpack on his back. His performance earned Yu Hao's approval: "Look at him, he's just like Old Wang next door, so energetic. His posture is so strong! His spirit is so high! He's so handsome, so cool, it's indescribable."

"You're so charming that everyone loves you, flowers are attracted to you, and cars get flat tires just by looking at you," Wang Yan chimed in at the opportune moment.

"We are truly evenly matched, like two equally talented individuals!"

Yu Hao pinched his fingers into an orchid shape, acting affectedly.

"You're shameless." Xiao Haiyang said with a look of disgust. "Please stop talking. Just listening to you gives me a headache."

“I’m doing this for your own good. Those things have been sitting there for two years, haven’t they been enough? The sooner you throw them away, the cleaner it will be! New things are always more comfortable.” Yu Hao stood up from his suitcase. “Besides, why are you only blaming me? Thirteen told fables non-stop for six hours straight, why didn’t you talk about him? Tell me, isn’t he being unfair?”

Speaking of being angry, he gave Lu Qiaochuan, who was dozing off in front of him, a push.

"Brother Hao, I'm innocent." Lu Qiaochuan had dark circles under his eyes and red eyes, looking extremely haggard.

Yu Hao then asked Bi Shisan, who began with a hoarse voice, "In the past," but then, unable to continue, shook his head helplessly: "Yes, he was unfair."

So Yu Hao arrogantly sat down on the suitcase again.

He then began to explain to Wang Yan the exciting events that had transpired in their dormitory the previous night.

Yu Hao thought the sanitary napkins Xiao Haiyang had kept for two years from his ex-girlfriend were useless, taking up space and considered unlucky, so he told Xiao Haiyang to throw them away. Xiao Haiyang didn't want to throw them away, so Yu Hao started lecturing. Whenever the two of them started rambling, Bi Shisan would tell the story of the boy who cried wolf to make everyone understand the problem and then correct their behavior.

But Yu Hao kept chanting, and Bi Shisan kept telling the story of the boy who cried wolf. With time running out, Xiao Haiyang finally gave in. Lu Qiaochuan, on the other hand, was disturbed all night. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Yu Hao and Xiao Haiyang would come to him to reason with him, so he suffered through another night of torment…

The leader on the stage spoke, reciting the rules, and then told everyone to get on the bus and set off.

Most of the students hadn't had a good rest, and it was still dark outside. After a while of buzzing and noise, drowsiness overcame them, and they all started to doze off.

The military training base was located in a county town below, normally less than an hour's drive away. However, because the bus was carrying a group of students, it wasn't going very fast; the safety of the driver and passengers was the top priority, so it took longer to arrive. By then, it was already broad daylight.

"Ugh, really, my hair got all flattened from sleeping all the way here," Yu Hao complained.

Xiao Haiyang retorted irritably, "How dare you say that? If you hadn't kept everyone awake last night, would we have been able to sleep the whole way?"

"I don't believe you can sleep!"

"This is my third year of military training! Guess whether I can sleep or not."

Yu Hao then looked at Lu Qiaochuan, who said, "I've been so tired these past few days. I've been traveling by car, moving things around, and drinking heavily all night. I haven't had a good rest at all. I still feel unwell, but I'm sure I can fall asleep!"

"Thirteen!"

“My schedule is always regular. If it weren’t for you, I could have slept for eight hours today.” Bi Shisan pinched his wrist and looked at Yu Hao seriously. “I’m having some heart palpitations right now because I haven’t been getting enough rest.”

"No, how could you try to extort money from me? Thirteen, I really misjudged you!"

"It's cause and effect."

"Hey, Lao Wang, look at him!"

"Get lost." Wang Yan replied simply and bluntly. "Move aside and stop blocking the aisle."

“Exactly, they’re all the same kind of people, so why is there such a big difference?” Jiang Yunming chimed in. “Hurry up and move along, don’t block Lin Luoxue’s way, how can you be so ungentlemanly?”

Yu Hao glared at the shameless Jiang Yunming, but he still moved his feet and got out of the car first, so as not to crowd the aisle and block the passage.

Amidst the playful banter, the students got off the bus, took their luggage, and lined up briefly beside the bus. The accompanying teachers and instructors then organized the ranks on the spot using the lists.

Just like in the original drama, male students majoring in television photography and television directing trained together, while female students from the two classes trained together with female students from other majors.

"My name is Zhang Chi, and I'm your instructor. For the next twenty days, we'll be working together day and night. I hope you'll cooperate. If you're relaxed, I'll be relaxed too, and we can all get through these twenty days peacefully before we part ways. Don't cause me any trouble. If you cause me trouble, you're just causing trouble for yourselves. Do you all understand?"

A short, dark-skinned, lean man stood at the front of the line giving instructions, pausing briefly and shouting frequently—a typical military style.

"I heard you..." the students responded sparsely, still not quite awake; several were even yawning, still in the process of waking up. "I didn't hear you! Speak louder!"

I heard it!

"I didn't hear it!"

"I heard!"

Only after hearing the short, crisp response did Zhang Chi nod in satisfaction: "That's more like a man. Come with me, let's go to the dormitory and put our things away. Since there's no breakfast today, and you all got up really early, take it easy. First, tidy up your things, fold your blankets, and then stand at attention for a while before having lunch."

So everyone lined up, carrying their luggage, and followed the instructors to the dormitory in a large group.

Of course, there was plenty of playful banter and laughter along the way, so the instructor named Zhang Chi kept scolding them. Each scolding would last for a while before he would start grumbling again.

But after walking slowly for more than ten minutes and climbing a small hill, they finally saw a row of old bungalows and could no longer suppress their complaints.

"We're staying here?"

"This place is so dilapidated."

"Isn't there gender equality? Why do girls get to live in apartment buildings downstairs while we have to walk so far to live in bungalows? And they're so dilapidated!"

……

It's not just students in electronic editing and photography; students in other majors are also complaining.

Instructor Zhang Chi shouted, "Why so much complaining? We didn't send you here for military training to enjoy yourselves. You're here to endure hardship and strengthen your willpower."

"The instructor is right! Our predecessors overcame countless hardships and obstacles to achieve the prosperity we enjoy today. It is the school's expectation of us to endure some hardship and train. Compared to our predecessors, what is a little hardship we are going to endure?"

Some people can provoke hatred the moment they open their mouths. Everyone's eyes turned to him, and they saw a tall, thin student with curly hair, Pan Zhen from the electronics department.

He was a troublemaker, loved to show off, and liked to act like a big brother. Later, he started a fight with the students in the film and television class, then successfully pursued Gu Yixin, and later his two-timing was exposed, ruining his reputation. But he continued to study and live with his strong mentality.

Zhang Chi looked at Pan Zhen with a speechless expression, but there was nothing he could say.

Pan Zhen's words did indeed have an effect; everyone disliked him, and the situation couldn't be changed, so they stopped complaining.

Yu Hao rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Oh, some people, they have to make a big deal out of everything, as if they are so great and righteous."

Pan Zhen looked over smugly: "Then tell me, aren't some of the things that people say reasonable?"

"Alright!" Zhang Chi interrupted, "You'll stay in this dormitory and select eight people."

Pan Zhen smiled at Yu Hao, then led his classmates into the dormitory.

"What are you pretending for?" Yu Hao snorted. "Let me tell you, people like that are the most annoying..."

Yu Hao is also foul-mouthed and mischievous, and in the original drama, many things are caused by him.

Wang Yan didn't say anything, and followed them into the dormitory with his big bag on his back.

This dormitory is two rooms together, with eight people in one room. It happens to be the two rooms, 616 and 618, that are together.

The beds were assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so Wang Yan went to the innermost one. He was on the lower bunk, and Jiang Yunming was on the upper bunk.

There were already bedding, pillows, sheets, and duvet covers provided, which had cost money; they just needed to put on their own blankets and make their own beds.

"Come on, Lao Wang, Lao Jiang, let's go for a smoke? I've been holding it in for ages." Ma Jun pulled out a pack of cigarettes and waved it around.

Xiao Haiyang said, "You should keep a low profile. Don't be so blatant about it, and don't smoke openly outside. Go to the restroom area; I bet a lot of people are smoking there right now."

Lu Qiaochuan: "I'm going to the toilet too. I've been holding this pee for ages."

Yu Hao: "Me too! Me too!"

So everyone went out together, leaving the dormitory and heading to the outhouse on the side.

Just as Xiao Haiyang said, smoke was already coming out of the toilets, a large group of students were smoking there, and the toilets were packed, all of them had been holding it in for a long time and had even formed a queue.

It was a noisy and chaotic place.

Wang Yan and his two companions were smoking when Yu Hao and the others lined up to use the restroom. After Wang Yan had smoked half a cigarette, Yu Hao and the others came out, covering their noses.

"My God, this place is so filthy! What sins did I commit in my past life to deserve being banished to this place?" He exclaimed dramatically, as was his custom.

"Brother Hao, you should say less. No matter how harshly you curse, it won't change anything!" Lu Qiaochuan sighed. "On the contrary, the more you curse, the more you think about it, and the more disgusted you feel."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "There's always an adjustment period."

"Have you gotten used to it?"

"Where are there no dry toilets? We've only had a few years of good living. Besides, eating, drinking, and defecating are basic human needs; how can we avoid excrement and urine?"

“Old Wang is right, Hao-ge, you’re being a bit dramatic,” Xiao Haiyang said enthusiastically. “Let me tell you, it’s cold where we are, and when winter comes…”

"Get lost!" Yu Hao shouted, taking the lead in fleeing, not wanting to listen to that filthy nonsense anymore.

After Wang Yan and the others finished smoking, went to the toilet, and returned to their dormitory to make their beds.

After they finished packing their things, Instructor Zhang Chi and the other instructors came in.

"Come on, open your luggage and check if you have any prohibited items."

Everyone did as instructed, bringing various kinds of food, drinks, cigarettes, and so on. The meticulous Yu Hao even brought a hair dryer, an ironing board, and other skincare products.

Zhang Chi said, "Who told you to bring so much stuff?"

All eyes were on Xiao Haiyang, the senior student, but when they saw Xiao Haiyang's gaze fall on Wang Yan, everyone turned to look at Wang Yan.

Because Wang Yan bought it first, everyone else followed suit...
