She is in the fog

Chapter 34 Double Standards

"How is that possible?" He Xi took out a very delicate gift box as he walked past her seat, then proudly held it up in front of Li Xingyu's eyes, "I'll keep Mingmei for her."

Li Xingyu was puzzled: "From your tone, why do I feel like you are very familiar with her?"

"Hey, don't think too much, I just simply adore beautiful women."

"Oh." Li Xingyu nodded, not quite understanding.

She looked at the gift box in He Xi's hand. Judging from the packaging, she felt that it seemed to be of great value.
So she snatched the gift box and opened it. There were two army green sun protection sleeves neatly placed in the box. Li Xingyu felt at first glance that the sun protection sleeves in the box were different from the wholesale sun protection sleeves in her hand. She reached out and touched them to feel the texture -
Sure enough, the textures are not of the same level.

Li Xingyu felt that she was a complete scapegoat, so she deliberately frowned and pointed at the sun protection sleeves in the gift box and asked, "Sister Xi, how much is this pair?"

"520 dollars."

Li Xingyu pointed to the sun protection sleeves on his arms and asked, "How much are these 54 pairs you wholesaled for?"

He Xi pinched his chin: "I forgot, it seems to be more than a hundred?"

Li Xingyu was shocked: "Why did they buy hundreds of dollars worth of sun protection sleeves for new classmates, but only gave me a two-dollar one? Most importantly, they spent my money! What's the logic?"

He Xi argued: "I am wearing the same thing as you. How can our rough skin compare with Mingmei? She is so fair and her skin is so delicate. Of course I have to use something better."

“Expensive things are not necessarily good.”

“Good ones must be expensive.”

"Then why don't you buy better ones for other girls in the class?"

"No money." He Xi said firmly.

Li Xingyu surrendered completely: "Sister Xi, did you know this new classmate before? Why are you so nice to her?"

"I don't know him." He Xi shook his head. "I told you, I'm superficial. I just like good-looking people."

"That's true." Li Xingyu scratched his chin, "She is quite pretty."

He Xi looked up at the clock on the wall. The time for the gathering was getting closer, so he took out the sun protection sleeves from the gift box, threw the gift box into the trash can, and said to Li Xingyu, "Let's go, quickly deliver the sun protection sleeves to her, and give her some time to put them on."

As a result, before the two of them reached the classroom door, Mingmei came in from outside. The three of them stood there. Mingmei stood on tiptoe and tilted her neck to look at the empty computer plane, then asked carefully: "Classmate, where can I get the sun protection sleeves?"

He Xi was stunned for a moment, until Li Xingyu touched her arm, she reacted and quickly handed the sun protection sleeve in her hand to Mingmei: "Here! There happens to be one pair left, you should be the only one missing."

"Thank you!" Mingmei took the sun protection sleeve with her eyes curved.

"Then we'll go to the playground first. Come here as soon as possible and don't miss the gathering time."
After He Xi finished speaking, she hurriedly pulled Li Xingyu away. She wanted to leave Mingmei some private space without outsiders around, so she would feel more comfortable when taking off her coat.

Seeing the two figures disappear from the window, Mingmei walked to her position, looked around again, and then slowly took off her coat. Her hands were as soft as a catkin, but there was a large and horrible scar on her arm. The comparison between the two was even more shocking. Mingmei put on the sun protection sleeves and was surprised to find that the last pair of sun protection sleeves fit her arm so well. She couldn't help but say to herself: "I'm so lucky. The last pair of sun protection sleeves is just the right size. Is this a blessing in disguise?"

She folded her camouflage jacket and put it on the desk. She looked up at the wall clock and saw that there was not much time left, so she ran out of the classroom with joy.

After the chief instructor blew the whistle, Jian Chun led the team to start training.

When the students were standing at attention, Jian Chun walked around the team to inspect the situation. The instructor of the next team couldn't help but come over and complain: "Jian Chun, your team is being special. Everyone is wearing sun protection sleeves on their arms. Can't you bear the hardship?"

"Report!" He Xi said without looking away, "This just reflects the unity of our team."

Jian Chun smiled: "You are quite good at sophistry."

The instructor of the next team also added fuel to the fire: "Don't make any special arrangements. Just get tanned. It's healthier to be tanned."

Jian Chun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's enough to dress in the same uniform. Why bother so much? Anyway, the military training report performance will be evaluated by team, so it won't affect your team."

Jian Chun herself is a "gentle" type of person. She thinks that even if it is military training, the students are not real "soldiers" after all, and the two should still be distinguished, so she didn't care about it.

He Xi remembered that in the previous life, before the military training report performance, the moderator of the Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School forum posted a voting post in the forum to vote for the most popular instructor among students of this session. Jian Chun won the championship with an overwhelming number of votes, to the extent that students from other teams all had a good impression of her.

Soon, the morning training was over, and the students took their lunch boxes and lined up in the cafeteria. Looking at the neat and long queue of military trainees, He Xi couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't felt this way for a long time. Is this the breath of youth?"

Qian Ziyue, who was standing in front of He Xi, didn't have the heart to sigh about these things. After the morning training, he was already starving and was looking forward to the uniform military training meals. He held the lunch box and muttered, "I wonder what dishes are included in the military training meals?"

"Carrot and bone soup, stir-fried meat with celery, and stir-fried onions." He Xi read out the names of the dishes expressionlessly like a robot.

Qian Ziyue turned around and said, "Sister Xi, how did you know? Did you secretly go to the kitchen?"

He Xi immediately changed her expression to one of "You are still too young". She yawned and said perfunctorily: "I guessed."

Why did He Xi remember it so clearly? Because these three dishes were all Ming Mei's favorite.

Onions, celery, and carrots, these are the three things Mingmei doesn't like to eat. But this military training meal gave her all of them. Who wouldn't say this is outrageous?

Mingmei has a clear distinction between what she likes and dislikes. She won't eat a bite of food she doesn't like, and will vomit if she eats a bite. However, military trainees can only go to the military training dining window to get food. The meal content is fixed, and after getting the food, no leftovers or food are allowed to be thrown away. In order to prevent waste, she simply didn't go to get food. She wanted to go to the canteen to buy two breads to fill her stomach, but she didn't expect that the school canteen was not allowed to sell things to military trainees wearing camouflage uniforms, and they were not allowed to leave the school during the military training. She was new to the school and didn't know the senior students in the third year of high school, so she didn't bother strangers to help her, so she went to the afternoon military training on an empty stomach.

He Xi learned about this at the high school graduation party when she saw them playing Truth or Dare. Only then did she realize that it was no wonder that Mingmei fainted during the first afternoon of military training. It must have been because of hunger.

Mingmei was standing in another line. At this time, classmates were coming out one after another with lunch boxes. After Mingmei learned about the content of today's military training meal through the glass lunch boxes, she chose to quit the line and walked towards the canteen next to it.

However, before entering the store, I was discouraged by a sign at the door that read "Military trainees are not allowed to enter."
