She is in the fog

Just like in the previous life, when Mingmei walked into the classroom, the classmates all exclaimed in unison and spontaneously applauded to welcome her.

Mingmei nodded politely to everyone, then picked up a piece of chalk and wrote her name on the blackboard. Her fingers were slender, but her writing was vigorous. Her handwriting was not as beautiful as her appearance. The word "Mingmei" on the blackboard was as majestic as a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, and it was deeply engraved in the wood.

After finishing writing, she put the chalk back into the chalk box, gently rubbed the chalk dust on her hands, and introduced herself to everyone with a smile: "Hello, classmates. My name is Mingmei. Please take care of me in the future."

Qian Ziyue, who was in the second to last row, couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sister Xi, that's her. The girl in the red skirt I saw on the street was her. She's actually a new student in our class. She's so pretty."

He Xi stared at Ming Mei on the podium with burning eyes, nodded his chin, and agreed with what Qian Ziyue said.

"Mingmei, please sit there!" Zhong Nuo pointed to the window seat in the first row.

There was a pile of new books and notebooks on the table. Mingmei had just sat down when a girl in the back row patted her on the shoulder and handed her a pen: "Hello Mingmei, my name is He Jiahe, and I'm the discipline committee member of our class. I see you don't have a schoolbag, and I'm afraid you don't have a pen either, so I'll use this pen to write your name."

"Thank you. I thought I wouldn't have to go to class on the first day, so I didn't bring a pen." Mingmei took the pen with a smile and silently wrote down the name "He Jiahe".
Then she wrote her name on the title page of the textbook, declaring the ownership of the new book.

After a while, Mingmei looked at the seat next to her. It was empty. She remembered that Wen Wan had said on the phone that she was going to a provincial competition and would not be able to return to school until two weeks later. She thought that this seat must have been reserved for Wen Wan.

Wen Wan and Ming Mei's grandparents live in the same community. Ming Mei would go to her grandparents' house to play during every winter and summer vacation. She met Wen Wan by chance, and the two of them imitated martial arts TV dramas and became sworn sisters.
It can be said that Wen Wan is Mingmei's only acquaintance in Nanzhou No. 5 Middle School, which is why Mingmei did not refuse to enter Class .

"Forgive me for my uninhibited and free-spirited love of life, but I am also afraid that one day I will fall..."
It is the song "Boundless Sea, Vast Sky".

The singer's voice sounds very story-telling and soothing, complementing the song and lyrics. It's like meeting an old friend who has experienced many vicissitudes of life after encountering setbacks. At the moment when the sunset and the evening star are changing, the two of you sit in the sunflower garden, you hold a pot of muddy wine, she holds a cup of clear tea, and slowly tells you about the frost and rainbow of those years. You are fascinated by it until the moon sets in the west and the morning star lights up in the east, and then you suddenly realize: the night is only a moment, the morning sun is about to rise, and a new day is about to begin.

Zhong Nuo took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket, and Ming Mei realized that it was her phone ringing. Not knowing what was said on the other end, Zhong Nuo just replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Nuo said, "Qin Yiran, have you finished counting the sizes of your classmates?"

"The statistics are complete, but there is still one new student missing."

Zhong Nuo then asked, "Mingmei, what is your height and shoe size?"

Mingmei was a little confused, but she still answered obediently: "I'm 36 meters tall, and my shoes are size ."

"Come with me, students, to the Academic Affairs Office to get the camouflage uniforms for military training."

"I'll go!" He Xi volunteered to stand up.

Seeing He Xi taking action, Li Xingyu couldn't just sit there and watch, so he also raised his hand: "I'll go too!"

Soon, several students followed Zhong Nuo's steps and headed for the Academic Affairs Office. Not long after, they returned to the classroom carrying their camouflage uniforms and yellow rubber shoes.

Looking at the camouflage uniform and yellow rubber shoes in front of her, Mingmei fell into deep self-doubt: I shouldn’t have been in the wrong class, right?
Aren't you a sophomore? You're not a freshman, so why are you still giving me camouflage uniforms?

She decided to ask He Jiahe for the truth.

"He Jiahe, what's the use of this camouflage uniform?"
"The head teacher said before, it's for military training."
"But aren't we freshmen in high school? Do we also have to undergo military training?"
"This is a tradition of Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School. It's said to help us get rid of the laziness during the holidays and to hone our will. Except for the senior high school students, all other students have to undergo military training every year." Mingmei: ...
Even high school students have to undergo military training. I've never seen such a thing before.

When Mingmei got home in the evening, she washed up and went into her room. Grandma Lin Ruxue couldn't help but follow her in and asked her about her school situation: "Meimei, how do you feel about the first day of school? Are you used to it?"

"The homeroom teacher is very kind, and the classmates seem to be easy to get along with." Mingmei didn't sleep well last night, and couldn't help yawning. "But we have military training tomorrow, and we have to have military training in the second year of high school, too. It's so strange."

"It's an old tradition at Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School. Every school is different. By the way, your mom told me on the phone a while ago that your period is expected to be in the next two days. Can your body withstand the military training?"

Hearing this, Mingmei's eyes lit up: "Mom called?"

Lin Ruxue saw Mingmei's thoughts and knew that she missed her mother, so she said, "Your parents are abroad, the time difference is different, and they are probably working now. When you have a weekend off, we can pick a free time to call her."

"Oh." The light in her bright eyes dimmed noticeably, "Grandma, I want to rest."

Lin Ruxue was still worried: "How about grandma go and apply to the school, and we don't have military training?"

Mingmei shook her head: "It's better not to treat me as an exception, otherwise people will think I'm too delicate. Besides, my period has never been regular, and mom was just guessing, it's not such a coincidence. Don't worry, if I'm not feeling well, I will ask the instructor for a rest."

Lin Ruxue curled her lips and pretended to be helpless and said: "Well, since our Meimei insists on getting a tan, then I can't do anything about it."

Mingmei yawned again, and sent Lin Ruxue out the door in a coquettish manner.

The next morning, the alarm clock rang and Mingmei woke up. She couldn't help but stretch, but she felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, when I lifted the quilt, a small pool of dried blood on the bed was particularly eye-catching.

Oh my God, I can’t be so unlucky. Why does my period have to come during military training?
For fear of being late for military training, Mingmei quickly changed into camouflage uniform, took out the bed sheets and put them in the laundry basket beside her, ate breakfast and quickly took an ibuprofen sustained-release capsule, then hurried to the outside of the community with her schoolbag on her back to wait for the bus.

If you have military training, it will be a sunny day.

Mingmei squinted her eyes and lowered her head to look at the sunlight on the ground. She then looked at her bulky camouflage uniform and the ugly yellow rubber shoes on her feet. She loved beauty and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

"I really hate military training."
Watching the No. 108 bus slowly approaching, Mingmei couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh.

Before 7:30, all the students in the class had arrived. The head teacher told everyone some precautions and asked everyone to wait in the classroom for a while. It was not until the military training mobilization meeting was about to begin that the head teacher asked everyone to carry their own stools and go to the playground under the scorching sun.

At nine o'clock, the military training mobilization meeting is about to begin.
After going through a series of processes, it was finally the student representative's turn to give a speech.
He Xi immediately straightened his back and kept looking back and forth between Mingmei's position and the podium.
Because she knew that the student representative was Li Bufan.
