Gu Yan was woken up by Chen Yuan.
She rubbed her eyes. The bus had stopped, and the outside showed the bright moon and a few scattered stars, obviously not yet dawnbreak.
Gu Yan asked, “Have we arrived?”
“Mhm, we have arrived. Get off and get your luggage; we have to wait for the car from the military to pick us up. How are you feeling? Is everything alright?” Chen Yuan asked concernedly.
Gu Yan nodded. She looked around and did not see Lu Ye anywhere.
What happened last night was like a dream.
But when she thought about Lu Ye’s special identity, she realized that he must have left already.
There was a little bit of disappointment in her heart.
When Gu Yan got up, she suddenly noticed that there was a men’s jacket on her body.
There was a slight tinge of tobacco smell from the jacket, and it was very familiar. Is this Lu Ye’s?
Thankfully, the lighting in the bus was a little dim, and Chen Yuan didn’t see clearly what kind of jacket was on Gu Yan’s body; he just thought it was her own.
Immediately, Gu Yan grabbed her bag, folded the jacket, and stuffed it inside the bag. Then, she followed Chen Yuan off the bus.
Everyone was yawning. They got their own luggages and followed Xu Wangshan and Chen Yuan to wait for the car.
Zhang Cuihua kept complaining on the side, “I’m so sleepy; I can’t even keep my eyes open! My feet are numb; I can’t even walk!”
But everyone was numb to it, and no one paid attention to her.
Zhang Cuihua kept complaining for a long time but didn’t get anyone’s attention, so eventually she shut herself up depressingly.
Shortly after, the car from the military arrived. Everyone hopped on the car and arrived at the logistics department of the 26th Division. Xu Wangshan and Chen Yuan went to check in, and Gu Yan and the others were led by a female comrade to meet up with other comrades who also had just arrived. They would be assigned to their dorm rooms soon.
The female comrade was 28 years old this year. Her name was Han Jiao, and she wore a military uniform and had a clean-looking short hairstyle. After she told everyone the do’s and don’ts, she said, “Welcome, follow comrades, to the 26th Division. Greeting to you all, my name is Han Jiao, and I am your platoon leader. We will conduct our training first thing in the morning, so everyone who just arrived here today should rest as soon as possible.”
These girls looked at the valiant and bright Han Jiao with admiration in their eyes. Once they heard what she said, they thought about it and realized that they would only be able to sleep for just a few hours. They all started to howl.
Han Jiao frowned a little and didn’t say anything. It was clear that she was not pleased with the qualities of these comrades.
Gu Yan grabbed her luggage and quickly found her dorm room. There were four bunk beds in the room, able to accommodate eight people. Three people had arrived already, and all of them had picked the bottom bunks. It was a little over five o’clock, and they were still asleep.
One of them woke up and looked at Gu Yan for a second, then she turned around and pulled up her quilt before falling asleep again.
The light was turned off in the room, but the light in the hallway allowed people to make out the room in the dark.
Gu Yan kept her footsteps light. In the dark, she put the luggage in the last bottom bunk, then she gently made her bed. She wanted to make her bed and take a nap before tidying up the rest of her stuff after the sun came up. This way, she could save some time to rest for a while because there would be training in the morning, and she was worried about making noises that would wake her roommates up.
After Gu Yan tidied up everything and took off her shoes to get into bed, the door was suddenly jerked open. Two people entered the room, one was tall and the other was short. The tall one had both of their luggages,and the short one reached out her hand and turned on the light in the dorm room right away.
Gu Yan was fine since she just came from the outside, so her eyes could adapt to the bright light. However, the other three people who were asleep were suddenly woken up.
Just then, Zhang Cuihua noticed that all the bottom bunks had been taken and became upset. She yelled, “I can’t sleep on the top bunk; I can’t get up there. One of you has to give me your bottom bunk!”
