  Gu Yan did not know that Zhang Cuihua had this thought.

  She freshened up and went to bed early. She wasn’t too close with anyone else in the dorm room right now. She chatted with Xu Miaomiao, who was on the top bunk, for a bit and then fell asleep.

  She spent the day in tiredness and excitement.

  She was very ecstatic about the feeling of joining the army as a new recruit.

  Gu Yan gently held the jade pendant in her hand and closed her eyes to wander into dreamland.

  The next morning, they still conducted their morning exercise. It was tiring, but everyone tried their best and powered through.

  Even Zhang Cuihua was not absent, but her movements were not exactly up to par.

  Zhang Cuihua’s physical qualities were up to standard, or else she wouldn’t have been chosen. She was just not the one to engage in hard work and liked to slack off.

  Therefore, she drew Han Jiao’s side-eyes and frowns.

  After their morning exercise was over, Zhang Cuihua panted as she walked to Han Jiao and said, “Platoon Leader, I have an important matter to report!”


  Han Jiao did not have a good impression of Zhang Cuihua. As stern as she was, she was also one who knew right from wrong.

  She asked, “What is it?”


  Zhang Cuihua looked around and realized that there were still many people who hadn’t left. She lowered her voice and said, “Platoon Leader, can we speak about this in your office?”


  Han Jiao frowned again. Does she have something major to report?

  But she kept her cool and nodded, then she turned around and headed for her office. Zhang Cuihua immediately followed behind.

  Not many people knew about Zhang Cuihua following Han Jiao to her office, but it was seen by Shen Jiayi, who hid her presence.

  Not only did she see it, she also heard Zhang Chuihua say that she had an important matter to report.

  Shen Jiayi was eccentric and quiet, but she was not stupid. Zhang Cuihua had only been here for two days, so the people that she had conflicts with could only be the people in the same dorm room.

  It could be Guo Rou, it could be Lin Xiaoyu, and it could also be Gu Yan.

  But it couldn’t be her.

  Shen Jiayi lowered her head and decided not to care about this.

  She was a little late when she arrived at the cafeteria, and all the seats were taken.

  One couldn’t be a restrained lady when eating at the military’s cafeteria. They had to gulp the food and devour the meat.

  One would not have the time to get a second serving if they were restrained.

  If they arrived too late, they probably wouldn’t have any food to eat.

  Just as Shen Jiayi contemplated whether or not she should take her food back and eat in the dorm room, she noticed someone waving at her from afar.

  “Come here, Shen Jiayi, here’s a seat for you.” Gu Yan stood there and waved at Shen Jiayi.

  The tall and burly Xu Miaomiao stood beside Gu Yan and had a genuine smile on her face.

  When Gu Yan saw Shen Jiayi was not moving, she immediately said, “Hurry up and come over; we already got food for you. It’s going to get cold if you don’t eat now.”


  Shen Jiayi was surprised. She didn’t even know how she walked to the table and sat down.

  Her eyes turned red as she looked at the simple rice porridge and pickled vegetables.

  She didn’t have any friends.

  Because of her early years in the countryside, after she came to the military’s courtyard, girls around her age did not want to play with her and called her a bumpkin.

  And when other people learned that she was from that courtyard, they believed that she was aloof and looked down on others.

  Gradually, she didn’t have any friends left.

  Gu Yan pitied Shen Jiayi in her heart. Because of everything Shen Jiayi had been through, it made her timid and sensitive. After what happened later on, it made sense why she became depressed.

  Gu Yan just didn’t know who exactly was behind the dirty deed that happened in her previous life.

  Gu Yan knew that she didn’t have the intention of becoming friends with Shen Jiayi, but she wanted to help as much as she could when she thought about Shen Jiayi’s sad ending in her previous life.

  After all, although Shen Jiayi’s personality had started to change right now, she wasn’t at the stage where she didn’t talk to anyone.

  Finally, Shen Jiayi walked towards them, and Gu Yan was pretty happy about that.

  Even though Gu Yan did not specialize in autism or depression in her previous life, she still had some knowledge of them.

  If help and treatment were provided at the early onset of these illnesses, then it would definitely delay or alleviate the patient’s condition to a certain extent.

  When Shen Jiayi sat down, she didn’t start eating right away. She asked, “Why did you save me food and a seat?”
