Chapter 465 - 399 First Update
"Rong Yan, what a coincidence," Shi Ke hadn’t expected to run into her at the school gate.
Running into such a beautiful person so early in the morning made her very happy.
Rong Yan’s good impression of her did not diminish or become distant because of yesterday’s incident; after all, it wasn’t her fault.
She nodded slightly, "Senior, good morning."
Shi Ke immediately said, "Also, stop calling me senior, just call me by my name, you see, I call you by your name."
Rong Yan graciously nodded, "Okay, Shi Ke."
Shi Ke was quite fond of her own name, which her father had given her, and hearing it from such a beautiful person made her feel that her name sounded especially sweet, so her smile deepened when Rong Yan called her by it.
Then she remembered something and looked apologetically at Rong Yan.
"Right... I’m very sorry about yesterday."
Rong Yan looked at her, "It wasn’t your fault, no need to apologize, and since that matter has been resolved, there’s no need to mention her."
"Yes, there really is no need to mention it, but you and your aunt were amazing."
Thinking of yesterday’s scene, she couldn’t help but give Rong Yan a thumbs-up.
Rong Yan smiled, "Let’s go in!"
Since bicycles could only be ridden to the school gate and not inside the campus, both of them pushed their bikes in.
As it happened, both were from the medical department, so they walked together in the same direction.
However, when it was time to part ways, they did part, as Rong Yan had to attend the freshman military training, while Shi Ke was already a sophomore.
After parking their bicycles, Shi Ke said to Rong Yan:
"Want to come hang out with me later?"
"Sure," Rong Yan nodded, although she didn’t think she would have the time to find her, as she too would be busy.
"Well, I’m off then," Shi Ke waved and then ran off.
Rong Yan also headed to her own class, as she was one of the very few day students, so when she arrived, everyone else was already there.
She entered the classroom quite conspicuously, being exceptionally beautiful and having standout grades, so after everyone got to know her yesterday, they all recognized her.
Rong Yan was used to being watched, so she calmly walked over and sat down at her temporary seat.
Her deskmate was a girl with glasses, whose appearance was soft, "Hello, I’m Cheng Xi, Yao Xi as in Cheng Yaojin, and Xi as in ’Xi Yang Hong’ (setting sun red)."
"I’m Rong Yan."
"I know, I came late yesterday and didn’t see you, but I heard about you, and I’m really happy to be in the same class as you," Cheng Xi’s face was full of excitement, her eyes sparkling.
That scene puzzled Rong Yan.
This girl’s personality really didn’t match her looks!
Her personality seemed extremely enthusiastic, yet her appearance was more on the gentle side.
"I’m happy too."
"By the way, I heard you’re a day student, but during these half a month, they say we have to stay on campus, what will you do?"
Rong Yan raised an eyebrow, "I didn’t hear anything about this yesterday!"
Cheng Xi leaned closer, her voice a mysterious whisper, "This is internal information, we’ll hear more when the instructor arrives, but this information is very reliable."
Rong Yan hadn’t expected such an arrangement, but staying for half a month was no big deal.
What she ultimately didn’t expect was that the instructor turned out to be Qin Zhen.
This guy even deliberately glanced at her.
Huh, seems like he’s really good at hiding things... When we were on the bus yesterday, he didn’t even mention it.
It was a sudden decision... Fortunately, the school provides everything we need.
They even gave us half a day to buy some essentials.
Rong Yan didn’t have much to buy, but she took this opportunity to go home.
Madam Rong was preparing lunch, as the two little ones would be coming home to eat at noon.
She was very surprised when she saw her daughter returning home, "Aren’t you supposed to be at school today? Why are you back so soon? Did something happen?"
Rong Yan was a bit speechless upon hearing this.
"Mom, can’t you think positively? Why do you always act as if I’m trouble every time I step out?"
Madam Rong: ...
Was that what she meant?
"I came to tell you that I might not be coming home to stay for this half month, as the school is conducting military training and we have to stay in the dormitory."
Upon hearing this, Madam Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
"That’s good! It’s a rare opportunity for training, just do your best, and don’t worry about home. Right, since you’ll be staying over, if you haven’t prepared everything yet, why not take what you need from home first?"
She initially had no plans to stay over, so she hadn’t prepared for it, and now she felt a bit anxious with the sudden decision.
After all, she knew her daughter’s temperament well, who was a bit delicate.
Rong Yan simply said, "It’s fine, no need to prepare, the school provides everything in a set."
Madam Rong’s eyes lit up when she heard this, "This school is really good! They provide everything."
Rong Yan smiled, "That’s not all, every month we even get a living allowance of US$ 12! Plus, I’ve heard that the school also offers several scholarships, and if you’re capable, you can definitely win one."
Madam Rong: ...
Studying is just like making money!
To be able to gain knowledge and earn money too, that’s just great.
Rong Yan didn’t say more, she went back to her room to pick up a few things, and then rode off on her bicycle.
***
The twins realized only at noon when they returned home that their sister-in-law couldn’t come home for half a month, and both were extremely worried.
Especially Qin Yu, who had spent almost a month and a half in the military himself, knew how tough the training was, and he wondered... could his sister-in-law endure it?
"Big sister-in-law is very amazing," Qin Mei also worried about her sister-in-law but had the most confidence in her, as she truly was awesome.
"Alright, no need to worry about your sister-in-law. Having such an opportunity to train is quite good. You better hurry up and eat, and then go to school quickly, don’t be late."
Upon hearing this, the siblings stopped talking and hurriedly gobbled up their food...
Half a month wasn’t really a big deal for Rong Yan, plus her skin was the type that wouldn’t tan.
So, when it ended and she came back home, Madam Rong really couldn’t see any change in her.
"Mom, what’s for dinner tonight?"
"I’ll make stewed chicken for you."
Rong Yan was quite pleased with her mother’s reply, "I knew it, Mom, you care about me the most."
Madam Rong: ...
What kind of nonsense is that?
