Girls und War

Xia Shu smiled and didn't reply.

When the two returned to the dormitory door, Xiaolian said to Xia Shu again, "Build up your relationship with Haruka."

Then he walked into his room.

Xia Shu could only smile bitterly, swiped his card and walked into the room.

The lights in the room were on, and Chunxiang's clothes were on the bed. It seemed that Chunxiang had returned.

Xia Shu looked inside and heard the sound of water in the bathroom, as if there was someone inside.

She was embarrassed to call her by her name, so she planned to wait for Chunxiang to come out before meeting her formally.

So Natsuki walked over to his package and started packing.

I was putting my things in place when I heard a click coming from the bathroom, as if the door was opened.

Xia Shu smiled and looked over there, only to see a white torso wiping its hair with a towel as it walked out.

Xia Shu's smile froze.

Haruka was also frozen. She had never expected Xia Shu to come back at this time.

The two of them stared at each other, and the air was frozen for a long time.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't expect you weren't wearing any clothes. I should have made some noise to remind you!" Xia Shu suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly turned his head away, indicating that he didn't see anything.

Chunxiang blushed and couldn't say a word. She quickly grabbed her pajamas on the bed and ran into the bathroom.

After a while, she came out and said in a whisper, "I'm dressed. Turn around."

Only then did Xia Shu turn around and looked up at Haruka with great embarrassment.

The two people's eyes collided in the air, as if an electric current passed through.

Neither side dared to look at the other, so they turned their heads away in unison.

Although both of them are girls, for some reason, the atmosphere became like this.

If you think about it carefully, it's normal for girls to see each other.

Otherwise, the organizer would not have arranged several people to share a dormitory.

Thinking of this, Haruka coughed lightly and said to Xia Shu, "I'm sorry, I thought you wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I usually live alone, so it's a habit... If you see something unhappy, then I..."

"No, no, no," Xia Shu waved his hands quickly, "How can I not be happy? I'm very happy... No, that's not what I meant..."

"I understand, I understand." Haruka nodded quickly, signaling Xia Shu to stop talking. She already wanted to die.

After a moment of silence, the two looked at each other again, but soon burst into laughter.

"You're such an idiot... What's the big deal about girls seeing each other's bodies..." Haruka said self-deprecatingly.

"Yeah, that's totally unnecessary." Xia Shu also laughed.

But after a while of dry laughter, a certain awkward atmosphere arose between the two of them again.

"That..." "That..."

"You go first." "You go first."

They both spoke at the same time and gestured in sync, like a pair of twins.

This time, they actually laughed.

"You speak first." Haruka said to Natsuki with a smile while sitting on the bed.

"Oh, I mean, I came here with Smiley Face this time. She lives next door." Xia Shu said quickly, "When I came to the dormitory before, you were not there, so we went to eat first. Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten. Thank you for your concern." Chunxiang also spoke up. "I came here two days ago. I've been training at the base these days, preparing for the competition."

As he said that, he suggested to Xia Shu, "Do you want to go to training with me tomorrow? I want you to teach me how to box."

"Okay, no problem." Xia Shu said with a smile again, "Smiley just said that you must have gone to training. She seems to know you very well."

"I have known her for a long time." Chunxiang also smiled and told some funny stories about her smiling face.

With the two of them interrupting, the atmosphere gradually became softer.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Chunxiang hurried over to open the door.

Smiling Face walked in, placed two small gift bags on their table, and said, "That Rear Admiral sent them. They said they were special snacks from the Navy Department. I didn't know you were with Xia Shu..."

The second half of the sentence was not uttered. Smiling Face seemed to have noticed something and looked at the two of them with a suspicious expression.

"What...were you guys doing just now?"

"Nothing." Xia Shu quickly stood up and said to the smiling face, "What can we do?"

"Yes, yes." Chunxiang also explained from behind.

The two of them acted as if they were trying to hide something.

Smiling Face stared at the two of them, saying, "Why does the atmosphere feel so subtle?"

"I don't understand what you're saying. Okay, okay, go to bed now. You have things to do tomorrow." Chunxiang said as she pushed the smiling face out the door. "I'll call you tomorrow. That's all."

"Wait, I haven't..."

"boom!"

Chunxiang had already closed the door.

She sighed and turned to look at Natsuki.

They both laughed unconsciously.

"Like an idiot."

"Yeah, just like an idiot."

Instead, Smiley Face touched his head in confusion outside the door.

"What's going on... these two people... are having an affair, they definitely have an affair..."

She muttered to herself and returned to her room.

518. Rehearsal before the opening ceremony

The next morning, Xia Shu and Haruka woke up almost at the same time.

It’s hard to say who came first and who came later, but it seemed that at some point, both of them heard each other’s movements.

Then he looked at the time, felt it was about time, and got up naturally.

After getting up and washing up, the two looked at each other, and the awkwardness between them seemed to dissipate a lot.

It's like the students living in the ivory tower who share a dormitory. Even if they had a conflict the day before, after sleeping in the same dormitory all night, they still call each other brothers when they wake up in the morning, without any overnight hatred.

This is what collective life is like.

After the two left the dormitory, Chunxiang went to knock on the door next door again.

It took a long time for Xiao Lian to open the door sleepily. Chun Xiang urged her and she went in to wash and get ready.

While waiting for her outside, Xia Shu happened to see Major General Kenjie walking back from outside with a bowl of instant noodles.

The instant noodles were sold from a vending machine at the end of the dormitory. It seemed a bit inappropriate for a general to eat this.

Xia Shu chatted with her for a few words, and from what Yanjie said, she was too lazy to go to the restaurant, so she just made do with it.

Xia Shu also knew that if she wanted, the officers under her would definitely rush to get her breakfast.

However, Yanjie doesn't seem to care much about etiquette.

I think such a leader would be popular everywhere.

As he spoke, Smiley Face put on his clothes, rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room.

Yanjie greeted them and walked into a dormitory next door.

The dormitory rankings were in single digits. Xia Shu thought about it and guessed that the dormitories in front were where senior officers lived.

It seems that it would be better to be cautious in my actions here from now on.

Seeing that Xiao Lian was ready, Chunxiang took the two of them to the cafeteria.

After the three of them had a simple meal in the cafeteria, they quickly arrived at the conference venue and reported to the person in charge of the flower area.

The so-called grand venue is the central venue where the competition is held.

It's a large, egg-shaped stadium with a large sports field in the center and a raised auditorium surrounding it. It looks a bit like an oversized Olympic Sports Center.

The divisions of the flower district have been drawn, and a large area of ​​the venue has been circled by a virtual cursor, with a flower district battle zone logo displayed on it.

Xia Shu and the others were currently standing at the very bottom of the area, closest to the central sports field.

After Haruka reported to the officer in charge, she negotiated with the other party on behalf of Natsuki and Smiley.

Anyway, they are all participants in the sniper competition, so it doesn't matter whether one person speaks or three people speak, and it saves trouble.

The officer negotiated with Chunxiang for a while and seemed to confirm a lot of information.

Later, the officer called another staff member and asked her to take the three people to the front row of the spectator seats, apparently to confirm their seats.

The staff member in charge happened to be Miss Andou, the girl who reported to Natsuki and Smiley yesterday.

Smiley Face chatted and laughed with the girl for a while, then took them to the spectator seats and pointed out three seats.

They sat on it and experienced it for a bit. Xia Shu felt that the view here was quite good. On the opening day, he could even see the whole venue without the help of a holographic lens.

But the seats in the first two rows seemed better; they were probably where the senior officers sat. Maybe I'd see Yanjie sitting there.

"This area is very good, it's on the side of the venue." Chunxiang said, and looked at the locations of the four major battle zones, which were all very central.

The only thing is that the sea area is slightly off, but it doesn't have much impact.

They are all first-class good locations.

"Of course not! Our manager has a great relationship with the Snow District team," Andang said, seeming quite proud. "When we were on duty before, we always reserved good seats for the Snow District team. Look at this area! Apart from the Snow District team's own area, this is the best! Right?"

The three of them looked up and took a closer look, and found that it was indeed the case.

However, when they were in the imaginary battlefield, Xia Shu didn't realize how good the relationship between Xuequ and them was.

After confirming their seats, they went to the venue and confirmed the entry ceremony with the snow area staff.

Xia Shu and the other two will follow the flower district protocol team and enter as invited athletes.

They were not told to wear formal attire, so they could just walk around casually and there was no need to take it too seriously.

In addition, Chunxiang has another job, which is to follow the leader who is speaking in the flower area, stand on the stage, act as a vase, and support the flower area.

Xia Shu and Xiao Lian didn't have to participate in this task. After they followed the protocol team onto the stage, they only had to sit back in the audience and wait.

There were no competitions on the opening day, so there was no need to rush the sniper competition.

Watching Haruka go up on stage and find her seat, Natsuki started chatting and laughing with Smiley Face again.

As we were chatting, a girl from the snowy area suddenly ran over and asked, "Is Xia Shu here? Excuse me, who is Xia Shu?"

Xia Shu raised his hand and said, "It's me, what's wrong?"

"I was looking for you." The girl breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "You're in the group receiving the military medal. What are you doing here?"

"Ah? Is that so? I'm a competitive athlete." Xia Shu was confused for a moment before he remembered the gold-edged military medal.

The Golden Bordered Military Medal is an annual medal awarded at the end of the year after being signed by the Generals' Council. It is usually presented at the opening ceremony of the competition.

Xia Shu didn't expect that the award would be given this time. She thought it would have to wait until next year.

"Didn't your company commander tell you? We have been waiting at the reporting office for several days." The girl in the snowy area said with a frown.

"No." Xia Shu shook his head innocently. It must be that Dragon who forgot about it.

This guy is too unreliable.

"Forget it, forget it. Come with me quickly. We still have to rehearse." Without saying anything, the girl pulled Xia Shu towards the award ceremony seat.

Xia Shu could only greet Smiley Face with his eyes, and Smiley Face nodded to show that he understood.

When Haruka came down from the stage, she saw that Xia Shu had already left, so she asked, "Where is Xia Shu? Is he gone?"

"Oh, she's off to rehearse for the awards ceremony. She has a gold-edged military medal," Smiley said to Chunxiang. "By the way, she left a message for you before she left."
