She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

Chapter 40 Before Military Training

When Jiang Lai and Tang Li returned with breakfast, Zhao Ying and Li Xiangyue had just woken up.

"Thank you to my two beautiful and kind roommates!!" Li Xiangyue got up first to eat breakfast. "These pan-fried buns are so delicious!"

"Right?! The cafeteria bought it specially!" Tang Li was also very happy.

Zhao Ying went to wash up before eating breakfast. She sat casually in a chair, took a bite of a pan-fried bun, and slurped up a mouthful of soy milk. "The homeroom teacher said we're going to the classroom today so everyone can get to know each other, and also to pick up our military training uniforms and stuff."

"Oh no! I almost forgot about military training!!!" Tang Li let out a wail.

"What's meant to happen will happen, just accept it," Jiang Lai said, patting her shoulder reassuringly.

After Zhao Ying and Li Xiangyue finished eating and packed their things, the four girls from dormitory 306 left and headed towards the teaching building.

Upon arriving at the business school's teaching building, the group found Building A. Room 203 was the regular classroom for Finance Class 1, and there were already quite a few people inside. They were chatting in small groups, and the classroom was quite lively.

When the four of them went in, the noise paused for a moment, and Jiang Lai and the others quickly found seats.

“I’m sure they’re looking at A-Jiang,” Zhao Ying said softly.

"I second that proposal." "Agreed."

Jiang Lai smiled and said, "Thank you."

The classroom soon became filled with voices again.

A moment later, the school bell rang, and a woman wearing glasses and an office lady outfit walked in.

"Hello students, I am your class teacher. My surname is Yu, and my given name is Yu Ya. I will also be teaching you the course Introduction to Financial Economics."

The woman smiled and said, "I'm very happy to spend the next four years with you all. I hope we can become good friends."

The audience began to applaud.

"Next, everyone, please come up and introduce yourselves. Then we'll elect class committee members, and a few boys will help carry the books and military training uniforms."

People with social anxiety are most afraid of self-introductions, but luckily Jiang Lai isn't.

When it was her turn, she went on stage and said confidently, "My name is Jiang Lai, Jiang as in ginger, and Lai as in coming and going. I love handsome men and beautiful women, as well as eating, drinking, and having fun. Everyone is welcome to come and have fun with me!"

Teacher Yu smiled gently at her.

One of the boys in the audience shouted, "The class beauty!!!"

With a loud "boom," everyone laughed. "Class beauty!" "Girl!!"

Knowing that everyone meant well and was just joking, Jiang Lai waved her hand and joked, "No, no, isn't it because Teacher Yu is the class beauty?"

Teacher Yu pretended to be sad and said, "I'm already past my prime, how can I compare to you young girls? However, the feng shui of Finance Class 1 is really good, there is a beautiful girl among the graduates."

"Just graduated?" "Yes."

After everyone in the class had finished introducing themselves, the class committee election began.

Jiang Lai was busy with her own things and didn't want to be a class committee member, but Tang Li became the organization committee member.

Then the boys followed Teacher Yu to move books and clothes, while the rest chatted in the classroom.

The things were moved back in no time. The first-year courses in the finance department are numerous, and there are many books, each one extremely thick.

-

Jiang Lai and the other three girls gave their military training uniforms and shoes to Tang Li, while the books were carried back to the dormitory by the other girls.

"It's so much cooler in the dorm." Li Xiangyue slumped in her chair. "I think I'm free this afternoon, right?"

"Okay, we'll meet at the playground tomorrow, and then it'll be two weeks of military training." Tang Li took out everyone's clothes. "Shall we wash them first?"

“Okay,” Zhao Ying said. “The material of this military training uniform is too stiff. It’s good to wash it. I bought fabric softener, I’ll add some later.”

"no problem."

Jiang Lai placed the books on everyone's desks, saying, "The books have all been distributed."

She took out her phone, entered the class group chat, and saw the class schedule had already been sent out in the group files. "Five days a week, three of them are at 8 am, great!"

"What?!" Li Xiangyue and Zhao Ying looked at Jiang Lai in disbelief.

"Check the course schedule in the group chat yourselves," Jiang Lai said, shaking her phone.

Just as Zhao Ying and Li Xiangyue were muttering and cursing, Jiang Lai's phone received several more messages.

Lan Liting: Junior! Are you there?

Jiang Lai typed: Yes, is there anything I can help you with, senior?

Lan Liting: Junior, would you mind meeting up? We're at Zhiwei Pavilion; I'll treat you to lunch! I have something I'd like to ask you!

Jiang Lai: Okay, I'll be right there.

Lan Liting: I'm waiting for you!

Jiang Lai turned off the screen. "I have to go out for a bit. A senior student is looking for me. We're having lunch at Zhiwei Pavilion. Are you guys going out to eat, ordering takeout, or should I bring it back for you?"

Tang Li rushed out of the bathroom: "The chicken legs at Zhiweige are especially delicious, I want a chicken leg rice!"

"I want one too!" "+1"

"Okay, I'll bring it back to you." Jiang Lai took her phone and umbrella and walked out of the dormitory.

-

The four canteens at Imperial Capital University are Wanhu Canteen, also known as the small canteen; the large canteen near the teaching building, Daming Faculty and Students Canteen; Zhiweige, which has a strong bourgeois atmosphere; and Daoxiangyuan.

Jiang Lai spent some time looking for Zhiweige.

"Junior!" Lan Liting sat down near the door.

Jiang Lai walked quickly towards her, "Sorry, senior, I don't know the way very well, I'm late."

"It's alright, it's alright. I forgot that your junior just arrived and might not be able to find a table, so I didn't come to pick you up." Lan Liting took out the menu. "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Jiang Lai glanced at it and saw that the dishes were already marked with ingredients, so she shook her head and said, "That's about enough, let's leave it like this."

“Okay.” Lan Liting got up, handed the menu to the waiter, and then came back with two drinks.

"Junior, the main reason I called you here is to discuss something with you." Lan Liting got straight to the point: "You were photographed at yesterday's opening ceremony, do you know about this?"

Jiang Lai nodded: "I know."

"And then, um—" Lan Liting said a little embarrassedly, "would you mind if I used your picture for the cover?"

"Cover?"

"Here's the thing, I'm the head of the All-Media department. Our school's All-Media department is responsible for official accounts like WeChat official accounts, Weibo, and Douyin. Since school started these past few days, we need to write posts and create WeChat cover images. Do you mind if I use yours, junior?"

"Oh, I see!" Jiang Lai smiled broadly. "No problem! I'm the one who benefits! It makes me famous at school."

"Hahaha, even without the junior's pictures, she'll become famous at school sooner or later." Lan Liting was quite happy. "The official WeChat account post will be released tonight, with photos of registration and the opening ceremony. Has the junior followed our school's official WeChat account?"

"No--"

"Take a look!" Lan Liting said. "You should check it out! Besides, there's competition between universities. The Youth Daily calculates the traffic of university WeChat official accounts every week."

Jiang Lai was unaware of these things, so she checked the WeChat official account and followed it.

Just then, the dishes were served, and Lan Liting urged her to eat quickly. The two chatted while eating, and Jiang Lai asked her many questions she didn't know.

"Junior, you might consider joining the student council. The external relations department and the arts department should be quite suitable for you. If you want to develop your abilities, you can also check out the student council president. Besides, there are quite a few handsome guys and beautiful girls in the student council, you know what I mean!" Lan Liting winked at Jiang Lai. "The student council president is so beautiful! She's smart and academically excellent. A lot of people join the student council because of her! You beauties should have a lot to talk about~"

"As for clubs, juniors can choose according to their interests. However, I suggest joining the volunteer association, since you need to get moral education points."

The two enjoyed their meal very much.

"Would you like to check out the all-media platform?" Lan Liting extended an invitation.

Jiang Lai politely declined, saying, "Let's skip it today; I still need to bring lunch for my roommate!"

"Okay, then let's wait for another opportunity!"

"Okay! Thanks for the treat today, senior. Next time it's my turn!"

"Hahaha, I'll be waiting! Bye-bye, junior!"

"Bye-Bye!"

Jiang Lai watched her leave the restaurant, then ordered three servings of chicken leg rice and packed them up to take back to her dorm.

When I got back to the dorm, the other three people were sitting together watching a variety show.

"I'm back! Your food is ready!" Jiang Lai asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"Talent show! Hurry up and eat! I'm starving~" Tang Li took the lunchbox.

Jiang Lai changed into slippers and went into the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower."

"Go, go, go~"

-

After lunch, it was time for a nap. By the time all four of us in room 306 woke up, it was already past 3 p.m.

Tang Li got out of bed, went outside, and brought back the military training uniform that was drying in the sun.

"Try it on and see if it fits. You can also take it to the laundry to be altered."

Jiang Lai took the largest set.

In dormitory 306, the shortest is Tang Li, who is 1.55 meters tall, followed by Li Xiangyue at 1.6 meters, Zhao Ying at 1.66 meters, and Jiang Lai at 1.70 meters.

Jiang Lai's military training uniform is size 175.

She simply put on her military training uniform. Except for the sleeves and trouser legs being a bit long, everything else was fine. The chest and hips fit her well, but the waist was a little loose. Jiang Lai then fastened the belt, tightening it, and her figure became more defined.

With her curvaceous figure, slender waist, and long legs, she truly resembles a "flower of the army" when she wears a hat.

Tang Li was rolling up her trousers when she saw Jiang Lai looking a little envious. "How come some people can even look so good in their military training uniform?"

Li Xiangyue nodded vigorously, while Zhao Ying stroked her chin and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that many instructors date students. I wonder what our instructor looks like? Is he a handsome guy? Is there any chance I could get him?"

"In the past, the instructors were all second- or third-year students from military academies. I guess it will be the same this year?"

"Don't date the instructors, okay? How many times a year do you see them at military academy? And they're all dark-skinned, I don't think they'll be very handsome." Tang Li prefers fair-skinned men and isn't interested in dark-skinned handsome guys.

"But men like that are bursting with hormones!" Zhao Ying exclaimed excitedly. "They're so manly!"

"I see, our aesthetic tastes are different~"

"Stop talking, stop talking. We'll find out tomorrow. No matter what kind of instructor he is, we all hope he'll treat us well. Military training is really tough." Li Xiangyue sighed sadly. "We're exhausted, who cares about how good he looks! We'd be lucky if he could let us rest more, train less, and find a shady spot for training."

"you're right."

The four of them sighed for a while, and then started arguing about what to eat for dinner.

That evening, Jiang Lai lay in bed playing on her phone, and the starred public account showed that there was an update.

Jiang Lai clicked in and happened to see a post on the official WeChat account of Beijing University.

Hello, new classmate!

The accompanying picture is a side profile photo of herself, along with a banner for the opening ceremony.

Jiang Lai clicked on the tweet to read it.

Goodbye to the fun-filled summer vacation, it's time for school to start!

It's just an ordinary article documenting the start of the school year and the opening ceremony, interspersed with some photos.

There are already quite a few comments below.

—Those who have already graduated say they really miss their school days!

—A senior intern said he wanted to go back to school; the internship was too tough.

—You guys know how to trick people into clicking in.

—The girl on the cover is so pretty, could the editor please give me her contact information?

"Are there really girls this pretty at our school? I don't believe it unless you give me their contact information." (glances sideways)

—Ahhhh, it's that junior again! I've seen her on social media so many times!

Jiang Lai logged out of WeChat and went to Douyin.

The clip from yesterday's opening ceremony live stream is still being uploaded to Douyin (TikTok), and it remains very popular.

Jiang Lai pondered for a moment, "001, do you think I should take advantage of this hype to show my face now, or wait a bit?"

001: "Based on my calculations, perhaps waiting a little longer would be a better option."

Jiang Lai rolled over. "Maybe, then let's wait and see."

She opened her Douyin (TikTok) profile page, and the latest video was her back-to-school vlog.

“Living at school makes live streaming inconvenient, but renting a place outside seems unnecessary. Maybe I could record videos and upload them?” Jiang Lai browsed through other videos by other people who help their children fall asleep.

Many people record immersive sound recordings, such as "hair dyeing and combing ASMR" or "wind chime cup rhythm tapping".

“That way I won’t have to speak, but it doesn’t seem like I’ll be very competitive?” Jiang Lai asked 001, “Would your voice be better than mine for helping people fall asleep?”

001: "How could that be! Of course your voice is better!"

“I see—” Jiang Lai looked at the bed curtains, “Then let’s study.”

Jiang Lai opened the dormitory group chat and started typing.

Unconscious room (4)

Jiang Lai: Sisters, I have a question for you.

Tang Li: Please inform me of something.

Zhao Ying: Approved

Li Xiangyue: ?

Jiang Lai: I usually do live streaming online. Would you mind if I occasionally filmed some everyday life footage? Also, I might need to record audio.

Tang Li: Ah Jiang, are you still a streamer? What type? Are you into looks?

Tang Li: I don't mind! What about Zhao Zhao and Xiang Yue?

Zhao Ying: I don't mind, in fact, I'm a little curious.

Li Xiangyue: same

Li Xiangyue: Can I have your streamer account? I'll follow you.

Jiang Lai shared her homepage link in the group.

Jiang Lai: A sleep aid broadcaster, but she hasn't broadcast since the start of the semester, and it probably won't be easy to do so in the future, since it's not very convenient in the dormitory. She plans to try a different method.

My roommates didn't reply immediately.

After a while, a sound came from the dark dormitory.

"Ah Jiang! Your voice is so beautiful! Waaah!" Tang Li said, "I already thought your voice was beautiful when you spoke normally, but I didn't expect your voice, which you deliberately softened online, to be even more captivating!"

“Indeed,” Li Xiangyue said. “No wonder you’re a sleep aid blogger? And you’re even a voice actor? You do radio dramas??”

"Is there anything you can't do?!" Zhao Ying asked as well.

Jiang Lai: "The voice acting was a coincidence, and becoming a streamer was out of necessity—what I'm bad at is gaming, I'm terrible at it."

"I'll carry you!" Zhao Ying said enthusiastically, "I'm a pro at games!"

"Take me with you too!" "+1!"

"okok!"

The four girls stopped using their phones and started chatting, continuing until after 1 a.m.

Tang Li said, "I'm sleepy, let's stop talking and go to sleep. We have military training tomorrow!"

"Go to sleep, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

"Ah Jiang Li Zi's wake-up time tomorrow depends on you guys. Get up and wake me up!"

"We need to get up at six o'clock tomorrow and assemble at seven o'clock."

"Annoying!"

Jiang Lai replied, "Okay, go to sleep now."

The dormitory quickly fell silent.
