"What department are you from? Chinese, History?" Yi Roujing found her bed, it was the bottom bunk. Before she even had a chance to sit down, a girl with a charming face and braids came over and asked curiously.

"We’re from the Medical Department," Yi Roujing replied with a smile.

The girl widened her eyes, "You’re from a science department? Didn’t see that coming."

"Yiyi, aren’t you in the Mathematics Department yourself? That’s also a science," a girl with short ear-length hair and a round face, roughly one point six eight meters tall, came over and stood next to Deng Yiyi, towering half a head taller than her.

"Hey, hey, Yujie, you’re too close to me, it makes me look really short," Deng Yiyi said cutely.

"Come on, this fellow student is also tall, why did you come over?" Shu Yujie said with a laugh.

"She’s really pretty, the best I’ve seen so far," Deng Yiyi said, looking at Yi Roujing. "What do you think, Yiran?"

Deng Yiyi asked Hua Yiran, who was busy on the bunk above her.

Yi Roujing also glanced up, the girl in the bunk opposite had a very short student-like haircut, but her face was very handsome, with sharp features, very stylish.

Hua Yiran braced herself with her right hand and jumped down from the upper bunk. It was evident she had some skills, moving with great agility.

"Hmm, she is really pretty," Hua Yiran said with a smile, nodding at Yi Roujing. "Hi, I’m Hua Yiran, from the Mathematics Department."

"Yiran, this is the first time I’ve seen you so gentle with a stranger," Deng Yiyi said a bit surprised. "Beautiful people really do get special treatment." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Hi, I’m Deng Yiyi, this is Shu Yujie. We’re in the same department and dorm as Yiran."

"I’m Yi Roujing," Yi Roujing introduced herself.

They had lunch in the camp’s cafeteria, Yi Roujing ordered some scrambled eggs and a vegetable dish, then got 200 grams of rice. The eight of them in the same dormitory sat together, and soon Deng Yiyi and her two friends came over to join them.

"You’re lucky to have eight girls in one class to make up a dormitory. We’re not so lucky. Our class has only three girls, and the rest of our dorm mates are from other departments like Mechanics, Physics, and History. It’s quite a mix," Deng Yiyi pouted.

"By the way, do you medical students have to dissect small animals?" Deng Yiyi asked curiously, "My older brother is a doctor, he’s done it before. Not just small animals, but also..."

"Yiyi," Hua Yiran gave Deng Yiyi a look, and she stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

Yi Roujing was unaffected. She was experienced; the only animal she wouldn’t dissect was a rat, her natural enemy. Rabbits, frogs... she could handle them all, and she was eating just fine.

However, Le Xinxin had difficulty swallowing her food, and Wang Ruohua was forcing herself to eat more. The others were not affected and ate heartily.

"Sorry, I was just curious," Deng Yiyi added, looking apologetic.

The military training started at 1:30 PM, and everyone gathered on the playground in class groups. Every class had an instructor, and the instructor of the Clinical Medicine class was a tall, dark, square-faced comrade who looked righteous. The square face made him look older, but after his introduction, they found out that he was not much older than them.

The instructor was named Wei Kefeng, 25 years old, and then he immediately got to the main point and started the training.

Yi Roujing wasn’t afraid of the military training at all. Moreover, it was March and still quite cold, and after the training, it not only exercised the body but also warmed her up quite a bit.

Yi Roujing noticed that in this era, military training wasn’t like her previous life. People always had difficulty keeping up physically and had to visit the infirmary. People of this era had gone through hard times, working at home, and had decent physical strength.

They trained for the entire afternoon, standing in a military posture for half an hour, then following orders to move, squat, march, and jog. Overall, it was mild, just a little sweat.

"Roujing, how come you seem to have so much stamina, not even panting?" After the afternoon military training ended, everyone went to the cafeteria. Although the training volume wasn’t large, quite a few people were gasping for air. Gong Jue’e was used to farm work since childhood, so she felt okay, but still, there was heavy breathing. Yi Roujing’s breathing was lighter among them, and she still walked with her back straight, quite attracting Gong Jue’e’s attention.

"I usually run and do some exercises; I can keep up," Yi Roujing modestly said. She had been through tougher times; this was nothing.

Most people’s appetites were better at dinner than at lunch. After dinner, it was time for washing up, and lights went out at 8 PM sharp. Yi Roujing lay in bed, staring at the top of her bunk, thinking about Xu Ancheng and Baozi, wondering if they missed her too.

After gazing for a while, Yi Roujing still fell asleep sweetly, naturally unaware that Xu Ancheng, after coaxing their son to sleep back in Qianbazi Village, was finding it hard to fall asleep.

Not being married was one thing, but ever since they got married, they almost always slept together every night. Now, even though the scent of Yi Roujing still lingered on the bed, the space next to him felt empty, and he didn’t know how to deal with it.

The worst thing a woman could face during military training was her period. Unfortunately, Yi Roujing encountered this, but fortunately, she had calculated her days and put on a sanitary pad beforehand; otherwise, her pants would be ruined.

"Roujing, is your period here too?" Zhang Mengdi saw Yi Roujing carrying something to the bathroom and quickly followed. "Mine’s here too. What am I going to do? I only brought two sanitary belts; I don’t know if I can get by with replacements."

"Hey, that’s not a sanitary belt. What is that?" Zhang Mengdi found the item in Yi Roujing’s hand novel and asked.

"Sanitary pads, they’re sold at the Department Store," Yi Roujing replied and went into the bathroom. When she returned to the dormitory, Zhang Mengdi hadn’t come back yet.

"Roujing, can you lend me some of your sanitary pads?" Zhang Mengdi sat on Yi Roujing’s bed and whispered when she returned. "I’ll go to the Department Store to buy them after our military training, and I’ll return them to you then."

Yi Roujing shook her head. "No, if I lend them to you, I won’t have enough left. Why don’t you try asking at the infirmary?"

"How can there not be enough? I saw you had a big pack," Zhang Mengdi said.

"I use four or five pads a day, and with the military training exercises, I’ll use even more," Yi Roujing explained.

"Four or five pads a day," Zhang Mengdi exclaimed. "Isn’t it reusable? And you’re so wasteful. With periods every month, how many do you use? How much money does it cost in a year?"

Yi Roujing raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhang Mengdi directly. Zhang Mengdi sheepishly fell silent, "I was just thinking that thrift is a virtue, right?"

"You’re a medical student. Personal hygiene is something to be most attentive to," Hua Yiran interjected. "I use that many pads every month too."

Zhang Mengdi didn’t lower her voice after that; those nearby had already heard.
