As there were still no specialized courses, they did not need to read the technical books. The three of them went to the west side of the second floor to look for some novels.

Liu He said to Qi Xiang, "There are so many books. It makes my heart feel comfortable just looking at them. If only I could soak in them every day and read them here."

Qi Xiang said, "Then you can open up your own bookstore from now on. It's so good to be able to earn money and read books at the same time."

Liu He giggled and said, "Your idea is really good. In the future, I'll open a bookstore, and it's best if there's a place to drink tea and snacks. When you're tired of reading, just eat and drink a little. He had a look of longing on his face. Qi Zheng felt his heart ache. In his previous life, when Liu He came to the Book City, didn't she have such a beautiful dream? The reality had shattered this beautiful, proud girl into pieces. Qi Yi had always suspected that Liu He's brother fighting with others was just a trap, and the final target was Liu He. He still had a similar impression towards the middle-aged man who had stepped forward to help them, and if possible, he hoped that they would never meet again.

The three of them browsed the city roughly. They knew where all the books were, and then they heard the melodious saxophone music, "Home". When it was time, everyone packed up their stuff and prepared to leave.

Su Chan and Liu He's faces were filled with excitement. Coming here, their horizons had been broadened, the three of them walked while discussing various types of books, talking about what kind of books they had read before. All three of them came from the countryside, so there weren't many books they could access.

The dormitory door opened, and a few people entered, enthusiastically discussing the plot of the movie. It turned out that the five of them went to the multifunctional screening hall to watch movies together.

Every weekend, the multifunctional screening hall in the old school district would be contracted out by some students to produce movies. Besides paying for cleaning and cleaning for the students who worked hard at work and paying for some fees to the school, the rest of the money would be split between a few contractors. There were movies every weekend, and sometimes there would even be some statistics done among the students to see what kind of movies would be shown on the weekend.

This time it was Titanic, a big teary-eyed movie, and he remembered watching it on his own. When he saw the sobbing sounds in the screening hall when Jack and Ruth said their final goodbyes, he too had shed a lot of tears. Now that they were talking about the movie, his thoughts went back to the time they were watching the movie. He couldn't remember anymore. Thirteen years later, when he was sitting in the Shadow Hall watching this movie with his beloved husband, he thought that he would spend the rest of his life with the old man. Reality was the thing that he couldn't stand to think about the most, the thing that stayed in his heart for the rest of his life was the most precious thing.

Qi Xiang smiled. Looking at the girls who had just opened their hearts, they were all talking about moving plot. Unchanging love, they felt that it was better to be young and not to be sad. As long as they seriously read a good book, they could get a good score on the exam. They could properly cherish this beautiful period of time.

Even until the lights were turned off, the few of them were still immersed in the plot of the movie. While Qi Zheng was sleeping, he could faintly hear Li Lili and Chen Xiangyu whispering to each other.

He dreamt nothing that night, so when he woke up the next day and saw Chen Xiangyu listless, he patted her on the shoulder and said, "Sisters, take it easy. With your mental appearance, I'll be careful not to tease you."

Chen Xiangyu rolled his eyes and said, "Elder sister, I'm washing my face in cold water, I'm full of energy again." After saying that, he carried the washbasin to the washroom. With a "hehe" laugh, he tidied up his clothes before heading to the basketball court.

After the morning exercise, the instructor told everyone that they were going to do some drills tomorrow morning. He estimated that they would need to travel about thirty miles to prepare their minds.

During lunch, Li Lili's mom was waiting in front of the dormitory with a big bag in her hand. When Li Lili opened the bag, Qi Tan and his little buddies were all stunned. An army kettle, a military bag, compressed biscuits, face lotion, sunscreen cream, and, even more ridiculously, a military telescope.

Mother Li took out something and said to Li Lili, "Lili, this is something I prepared for you, I heard from others that you have to take this kettle with you, I originally prepared a sun hat for you, but after that, your father's office's Little Wang said that since you all have the same training uniform sun hat, you can't wear it, so I went to buy some sunscreen. Don't think that your aunt's family has nothing to worry about, when you're my age, you'll know how amazing it is.

Before Li Lili could reply, Mama Li took out the telescope and said, "Take this with you. Who knows where you'll be going. It'll definitely be useful."

Qi Yuan did not know about the others, he was already struck speechless by that military telescope. This time, he had taken the freshmen on a tour around the F City Development Area, not to mention that the school had a school bus following them. In the event that they could not hold on any longer, they would get on the car to rest.

Mother Li brought some dishes she cooked and enthusiastically invited the girls in the dorm to eat together. Chen Xiangyu, Liu, Liu, Sun, Song, Shan, Zheng, and Xiaoyan were all very generous and ate together with some of the sausages she brought with her when school started. Qi Xiang called Su Chan, Liu He, and went to the cafeteria to buy food for eight people.

Li Lili's mother came in her father's car. After dinner, Li's father came and called for her mother to come with him.

Father Li was not tall, and was chubby. From his fat body, one could tell from his thick eyebrows and big eyes that he was a handsome young man. Otherwise, a beauty like Mother Li would not have married him. Li Lili looked like her own mother. She had a long face, willow-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. She was nearly 1.7 meters tall. She stood together with her father and looked even taller than him.

He was very happy to see his daughter adapting well here. He said to Qi Zheng and the others, "You two have to help each other out in one dorm. When there's a chance in the future, ask Lily to take you to my house to play. There's a reservoir near my home, and the fish is well-cooked. Uncle will treat you guys to fish."

After sending off Li Lili's parents, the eight girls burst out laughing at the pile of stuff on Li Lili's bed. Liu picked up the kettle, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and hung the military telescope around his neck. Waving his hands, he took a stance forward and shouted, "Comrades, charge!" Watching the girls laugh out loud, Li Lili said helplessly, "I shouldn't have told my mom about this. My mom is just bored and has nothing to do, so she really lost."

Chen Xiangyu said, "What's the big deal? If my mom was near, she would've come a long time ago. Plus, how many miles would we have to walk if we went for training? Even if I let my mom know, she would've helped me prepare a lot of things." Ye Zichen patted Li Lili's shoulder and said, "Sis, seeing your mom like this, you can imagine what my mom is like. My mom will only prepare more thoroughly than your mom." After he finished speaking, he even put on makeup and sighed, making Qi Cheng feel extremely amused.

Su Chan didn't say anything and silently climbed onto her bed. She looked at the lively atmosphere and felt that it didn't fit in with her. It seemed like she was also someone with a story.

Under everyone's anticipation, the drills began. The class formed a row with the platoon members forming two rows. Under the guidance of the instructor, they walked out of the school gate.

There were very few cars on the street at this time, especially during business hours. There were very few cars on Liberation Street in front of the school, and everyone walked very slowly, heading east as soon as they walked, and then north as soon as they reached the east end of Liberation Street. Along the road, many places had yet to begin construction, and to Qi Fa City's last impression, most of them were office buildings or residential areas or fields.

As they walked, they took in the scenery around them. No one could tell how modern it would be in ten years' time. No wonder people said that in a few years' time, the city would expand and develop at an astonishing rate.

Due to her absent-minded footsteps, Zheng Xiaoyan, who was following behind her, bumped into Qi Jing's back, causing her to stagger. Fortunately, she pulled Liu He in front of her to keep her body from falling down. This sudden turn of events instantly disrupted the formation of the class. Chen Xiangyu and Song Shan even turned around and anxiously asked, "Are you alright?"

Qi Zhengyuan waved his hand and calmed himself down. With narrowed eyes, Instructor Cheng walked up to Qi Zhengyuan and said in a deep voice, "Focus, don't get distracted."

Qi Yue stuck out her tongue and made a face in her heart as she thought to herself: Luckily, Zhuo Yaqin and Guo Guo are here. Otherwise, wouldn't this Coldface Instructor still give me some face?

After a while, there was no sound left from this incident. The teams of the classes all steadily advanced under the leadership of the instructors. The logistics car in the school slowly moved forward with the entire team. Occasionally, some students who were unwell would get on the car to rest.
