Time flies, and a week has passed.

  A week's time is enough to change many things. For example, Gu Xiyan can now get up on time every day, and the quilt she folds also has edges and corners.

  After a week of physical training, Gu Xiyan's body is now much better than when she first joined the army. Five kilometers long-distance running, even ten kilometers armed running, she can complete within the prescribed time. Can't run to the front row, but she has already reached mid-level, which for a half-way airborne soldier who joined the army, is absolutely rare and precious. Plus, she never complains about being tired or sore, Deng Qing doesn't say it out loud, but in her heart, she's quite satisfied with Gu Xiyan. If only she were willing to be a soldier... A thought sprouted in Deng Qing's mind.

  This afternoon, after the orienteering project, a company of female soldiers were divided into two groups and sat facing each other. The female soldiers had just finished the orienteering project not long ago, so they still had some physical strength left, but the smiles on their faces, whether shallow or deep, formed a bright and dazzling landscape.

  During the break, two batches of female soldiers started singing. Deng Qing, as an instructor, had a serious expression but didn't stop them. After all, in the army, there were too few entertainment projects for soldiers, and she wouldn't deprive the female soldiers of this little fun.

  Two groups of female soldiers each sent a representative to lead the singing, and Gu Xiyan also became one of the leaders under Li Leping's strong recommendation. The other side sent out that girl named Li Jie.

  "Let's have a sing-off of military songs, we'll start first, and when we finish, you can sing another one. Whoever can't keep up loses, and the losing team has to do 50 push-ups for each member. How about it?" Li Jie spoke up first, and if you listened carefully, you could detect a hint of provocation in her tone.

  Li Jie's teammates naturally strongly agreed with her, who was afraid of whom?

  Gu Xiyan hesitated, if it were just her alone, it would be easy to say, but now if she agreed and lost...

  "Xianyan, just agree with her, if you're coming then come." Lai Leting spoke up first, seeing Xianyan's difficulty.

  With Li Ting leading the way, the female soldiers of Gu Xiyan's side also responded in unison.

  "Agreed, agreed......" Before Gu Xiyan could respond, the female soldiers had already made their decision. Seeing this, Gu Xiyan replied to Li Jie with a single word: "Come."

  "Unity is strength... Ready, sing!" Li Jie turned around and shouted loudly at those female soldiers.

  "Unity is strength, unity is strength, this strength is iron..." The batch of female soldiers all opened their throats and sang loudly, it can even be said that they roared.

  As the song came to an end, Gu Xiyan, reminded by the female soldiers on their side, couldn't help but sing with a lively voice: "The night of the military port, quiet..." The female soldiers quickly followed her rhythm.

  It's Li Jie's turn again: "I am a soldier, from the ordinary people..."

  "When the motherland calls, stand up straight and take the lead..."

  "The whirling snow and falling leaves are a green flower..."

  "Wolf smoke rises, Jiangshan looks north......" Gu Xiyan said.

  "Forward, forward, forward our troops march towards the sun..."

  "You once told me, encounters are the first song, eyes are the spring sea, youth is a green river..."

  “……”

  In the end, neither side was able to gain an advantage because the rest time was limited. Just as Li Jie's team was singing "The East is Red", Deng Qing suddenly blew a whistle and the female soldiers instantly reacted. They quickly stood up together, put on their military caps, and adjusted their formation in an orderly manner.

  "Next is an hour of grappling training, followed by marksmanship training an hour later. Got it?" Deng Qing's voice was loud and clear.

  "Understood." The female soldiers' replies were uniform and in unison.

  The chilly sports field, the female soldiers were practicing their moves one by one, looking very powerful. Practicing grappling techniques on a cold winter's day was good for warming up, and after an hour of practice, Gu Xiyan only felt her whole body warm and cozy.

  The shooting training was conducted indoors, with each person counting ten shots. The female soldiers were divided into ten batches for training, with five to seven people in each batch.

  It's been a week and this is still Gu Xiyan's first time in contact with a gun.

  Gu Xiyan was in the first batch, following the instructions to load the pistol and raise it. With Deng Qing's whistle, Gu Xiyan pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew out with a "bang".

  The second shot, the third shot...

  After passing ten shots, start counting.

  "Number one, Li Jie, 92 points. Number two, Lai Le Ting, 92 points. Number three, Zheng Ying Shi, 86 points... Number seven, Gu Xi Yan, 89 points. Next batch." Deng Qing waved her hand to let the first batch leave, and the second batch followed closely behind.

  After all the drills were completed, the female soldiers gathered again.

  "There were three training tasks this morning, orienteering, grappling and marksmanship. You should have a rough idea of how you did, as for marksmanship, my requirement is 95 points or above. Of course, you haven't practiced much yet, so there's still plenty of room for improvement. Those who scored below 80 points, go stand at attention outside for half an hour, the rest are dismissed."

  "Disperse." The female soldiers shouted a sentence and then went their separate ways. There were 9 people who needed to stand at attention, and when Gu Xiyan and Li Leting walked past them, one of the female soldiers made a resentful face at Gu Xiyan.

  Gu Xiyan's footsteps paused, and she smiled lightly before walking away. The female soldier who made a face at her was called Jiang Hansheng. On the first day Gu Xiyan went to report for duty, Jiang Hansheng was the one absent from the front row where Gu Xiyan stood. After spending several days together, Gu Xiyan thought that Jiang Hansheng was quite an adorable girl, although she seemed a bit spoiled, but she wasn't a bad person.

  After lunch, except for He Zhuo, all the other female soldiers in C202 had returned to their dormitory.

  Seven people were lying on the bed, chatting idly. Suddenly, a question from short-haired Zheng Ying Shi made the dormitory lively.

  "She asked: 'Sisters, what kind of other half do you have in mind?' After asking, she added: 'All say it out loud, no reservation is allowed, whoever reserves is not a true sister.'"

  "Ying Shi, you go first." said Liu Hui with a smile, her short hair bobbing up and down.

  "Just say it." Zheng Ying Shi looked at the ceiling for a while before lowering her voice: "The one in my heart, he doesn't have to be extremely handsome, but he must treat me with sincerity. He can only like me and no other woman, except for his mother and mine, or I'll get angry. He doesn't need to have money, but he needs to be ambitious and filial. And finally, one more thing, he can't be shorter than me."

  In the afternoon of C202, a lively and playful girl on weekdays spoke sincerely about the beauty in her heart. Others listened quietly, no one interrupted her. When she said "it's your turn to speak", everyone burst out laughing.

  The second one is Lai Le Ting. Although she appears to be carefree, when it comes to this aspect, she is also shy: "I think that my requirements are not high, as long as I can find someone who looks good to me and I look good to him, then that's fine. Of course, I also need to consider the feelings of my parents. If I like him but my parents don't like him, I might give up."

  Some people behind also mentioned some ideas, some said "I like a man who is a bit mature, preferably five to seven years older than me", some said "I want a handsome guy, looking at him makes me feel good", and some said "There are thousands of forms of love, I have to wait until I meet it to know"... In the dormitory, there was also a sister who already had a boyfriend, under everyone's pressure, she finally confessed her boyfriend's name, interests, hobbies, appearance and inner qualities.

  Gu Xiyan originally wanted to pretend to sleep and get through it, but apparently the group of sisters in the dormitory had become goblins. A few girls rushed up and scratched Gu Xiyan's itchy skin vigorously, Gu Xiyan could still bear it at first, but later she burst out laughing, laughing so hard that tears came out.

  "I...can't...anymore...don't...I was wrong..." Gu Xiyan rolled around on the bed several times, weakly raising a white flag.

  "That's enough, don't go too far." Lai Le Ting finally said a fair word.

  "Alright, Xiao Xiyuan, you know what to do now!" Zheng Ying Shi's eyes stared straight at the itchy mole on Gu Xi Yuan's abdomen as she smiled warmly and harmlessly.

  "Right, Xiyan, don't think that just because you're looking at the younger sisters, I'll let you off. If you push me too hard, be careful, I'll show you my ruthless side." Half-long-haired Zhao Chun waved one hand in front of her eyes, and it really did seem like that.

  "Xian, I won't force you, but I also won't oppose the general direction of our dormitory. You...you decide for yourself!" Lei Ting retreated to one side, clearly wanting to stay out of it.

  The rest of them all had an air of watching a good show.

  Gu Xiyan turned over and rested her chin on the pillow, looking at everyone in the dormitory with an innocent and pitiful expression.

  "Speak quickly." The other six people impatiently chimed in unison.
