At five in the morning, the silence of the quiet campus was broken by a series of loud trumpets.

Lin Mumu already had the habit of waking up early. She first ran to the bamboo building to take a look at how the flowers were doing, and by the time she got back to the dorms, she found several of soldiers ready to barge in like a group of bandits. They were fiercely knocking on the door of each room, and didnt even let off the girls.

Well give you ten minutes to dress. If youre not out by then, well break in!

Shoot! Was our campus hijacked and kept as hostage?

thinking of being intruded upon on their own rooms, everyone was so afraid they quickly started busying themselves during the 10 minutes allocated.

After the 10 minutes, everyone is to assemble by the school gate. If you arrive late, you wont have a seat in the cars and will have to run until the destination!

Sure enough, they were threatening them, werent they?

Lin Mumu went upstairs and quickly changed into camouflage clothing and took the bag she had packed previously. The whole process took her only one and a half minute. The rest of the time was used on dragging along the sleepy An Xiaoqin and Chen Fangya along Liu Yuanyuan to the gate in order to assemble.

Fortunately, the whole campus was in a state of chickens flying and dogs jumping, and the new students cut a sorry figure as the older ones cheerfully watched the show while taking joy in other peoples calamity.

(TN: to take joy in calamity and delight in disaster: to rejoice in other peoples misfortune / Schadenfreude.)

Alright, heres how it will work. The monitor of each class will count his teams students number and get on the bus. Whichever team assembles earlier and gets her whole number of people gets on the bus first, and so on.

Chen Fangya still looked like a dead dog a moment ago and was continuously complaining about how she wanted to sleep longer. However, when she heard class monitor, she instantly became energetic again and quickly gathered the 12 people of the religious studies department in high spirits and great enthusiasm. Their group ended up being the first one to gloriously get on the bus.

Class monitor, awesome! Zhou Qiang brightly praised her.

Of course, who do you think I am? Chen Fangyas face was brimming with pride. (TN: She said it as in you shouldnt expect any less from the great me.)

Who was complaining about wanting to sleep longer just a moment ago?

Military vehicles werent the least bit comfortable. They were basically big open-topped trucks crowded with people who tightly sat next to each other. There were no such things as chairs, they basically sat directly on the trucks floor. Anyway, the camouflage clothes were dirt-resistant, and the young people were having lively chats in a mood bustling with noise and excitement.

At the moment when the sun rose in the sky, a bright rose-tinted morning glow swept their environment and greatly contrasted with the rigid shapes and dark colored military vehicles.

Lin Mumu quietly sat down to enjoy the morning sunrise and the peaceful feeling it brought to her mind. She entered a kind of meditating state in which she felt both the quietness of the morning and the bustling of the students and the soldiers.

Lin Mumu was especially fond of this kind or feeling.

In her past life, the military training of the freshmen of Beijing University was held in the school, and the military instructors were invited over and asked to cooperate.

This year, contrary to expectations, was an exception. They were unexpectedly all sent to the military camps, which is also considered a way to raise the devotement of the university students in their country of China.

I heard that this time, well be training along the students from China University. In the end, we must absolutely have a competition in things liked square shaped formations, shooting and playing military songs.

Thats going to be fun, ah. Arent we fraternal schools that like to rival each other? Weve be associating with each other every day, its difficult for enmity not to accumulate.

Why wouldnt it? China University is a famous science and engineering as academic subjects. The liberal arts are quickly dying out. The ratio of men to women is 11 to 1. Whats good about being with them? Could it be we should just sit back and let China University rob us of our Beijing University female students? No way!

Definitely, all the girls in Beijing University are our familys wives!

There are already few girls in our class, we cant let them snatch them!

In College life, male students always subconsciously had the tendency to protect the female students. For example, at the moment they got into the truck, the 10 boys in the religious department instantly sat in a circle with the two girls of their class, Lin Mumu and Chen Fangya, in the middle.

Lin Mumu seemed absent-minded and deep in thoughts, while Chen Fangya had a naturally lively personality and energetically talked with her classmates.

Dont even try to have any idea about our class flowers. My familys Lin Mumu already has a boyfriend. Chen Fangya knew that she wasnt as beautiful as Lin Mumu, so she took the initiative to bestow the school flower title over her. She also often joked about how the class flower was hers. (TN: Class flower or school flower usually means the prettiest girl.)

Therefore, someone quipped, Classmate Lins boyfriend couldnt actually to be you, right?

Of course not. Im not joking with you guys. Lin Mumus boyfriend looks very handsome, almost as handsome as senior Lin Tianlang, no, just as handsome as senior Lin Tianlang! No matter how handsome Yun Ting was, in Chen Fangyas heart, nobody could beat Lin Tianlangs handsomeness.

I heard that while going to college, people will always have a sea of boyfriends and girlfriends. Somebody said jokingly.

When Lin Mumu heard this, she abruptly said: I will always stay with him.

Whatever they said afterwards, Lin Mumu had little interest.

She casually took out her red flip-top little cellphone and sent a text message to Yun Ting:

Im on the way. Once we reach the military training camps, mobile phones may be confiscated.

Yun Ting didnt reply. He should be busy.

Not knowing why, when she looked at the bustle surrounding her, Lin Mumu suddenly think of Yun Ting. She suddenly felt like she probably hadnt completely matured yet.

According to Yun Tings working schedule, hell be training the armys new recruits for at least one month. The next time she can see him again will probably be during Novembers short vacation.

She quietly opened her hands and started counting on her finger how many days they would have to get along and strive for improving their relationship.
