Seeing these cigarettes, Bai Xiaofei's eyes lit up and he ran over eagerly. He used to be a heavy smoker. After coming to the Military Academy, he hadn't been able to smoke for a few weeks and he couldn't stand it anymore.
He immediately picked up the lighter in his bag and lit one for himself.
Seeing this, Zhao Rui stopped Bai Xiaofei.
"Qian Jiang, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Rui asked hurriedly.
"I brought these cigarettes from home. I hid them well before, so the seniors and the others didn't find them. But I'm going to quit smoking, so I'll give these cigarettes to you and class monitor."
Obviously, he was lying. He didn't give the cigarettes to Zhao Rui and the others because he wanted to quit smoking.
Qian Jiang was prepared to drop out of the Military Academy. What the instructor said at the back of the mountain just now had affected Qian Jiang greatly. He didn't plan to stay in the sixth team and drag everyone down.
All this time, Qian Jiang had treated these cigarettes as treasures. He only took one out secretly in the dead of night.
But now, it was meaningless to him. He wanted to give these cigarettes as gifts to Zhao Rui and the others who had helped him before he left.
"Is it the instructor's words..."
Before Zhao Rui could finish his words, he was interrupted by a fierce knock on the door.
"Knock! Knock..."
He didn't know who it was, but the person who knocked on Dormitory 424's door was too rude.
"What the f * ck is wrong with you? You almost broke the door!" Zhang Cheng cursed as he opened the door.
But when Zhang Cheng saw the person standing outside the door, he was stunned.
It wasn't just Zhang Cheng, everyone in the dormitory was stunned.
Because an old man with a stooped body and white hair was standing outside the door. This was the supervisor of their dormitory building.
Although the seniors were responsible for checking their internal affairs every day and the dormitory at night, the dormitory supervisor also had a very high level of authority. If the supervisor found out that a student had violated the rules, he had the right to first punish and then report it to the leader.
"Nice. You actually dare to hide cigarettes in the dormitory. Do you know that this is against the rules of the school?"
The old man's eyes went past Zhang Cheng, who had opened the door, and stared straight at the bag of cigarettes.
"Old uncle! These cigarettes don't belong to our dormitory! Yes, it's this boy who just got into our dormitory. It has nothing to do with us!"
Bai Xiaofei pointed at Qian Jiang and stammered, "He is from Dormitory 426. We are not close to him."
Although they were comrades in the same school, Bai Xiaofei had never spoken to Qian Jiang before. In fact, he had even implicated Bai Xiaofei because of his mistakes during training.
Therefore, in the face of punishment, Bai Xiaofei decisively sold Qian Jiang out.
"Bai Xiaofei, don't say that!" Zhao Rui understood that what Bai Xiaofei said in a hurry would aggravate Qian Jiang's inferiority complex.
"Sir, he's not lying. I hid these cigarettes alone and I have nothing to do with this dormitory. If you want to punish me, just punish me alone."
Qian Jiang looked like he would bear all responsibilities.
At this moment, the dormitory was silent. Everyone was waiting for the supervisor to speak.
Would he only confiscate the cigarettes? Or would he inform the leader and let them be punished?
Would he only punish Qian Jiang or would he punish everyone?
To everyone's surprise, the supervisor said with a hunched back, "I'll pretend I didn't see it this time. But don't let me see it next time, or I'll definitely give you a demerit."
The supervisor's decision made everyone present fearful!
What the supervisor said simply did not make sense.
It was inevitable that new recruits would make mistakes as soon as they entered the Military Academy, but as long as these mistakes were not too serious and were corrected after the warning, the dormitory supervisor would not really report it to the leader.
The dormitory supervisors actually liked these boys from the bottom of their hearts. They devoted their youth to these recruits.
"And you." The administrator turned his head to Zhang Cheng and said, "You're already prepared to become a soldier. You should speak a little more civilized. The academy can't train soldiers who are full of profanity."
"Sir, I'm sorry. I won't curse in the future."
Zhang Cheng was ashamed. He bowed to the old man and apologized.
After the supervisor finished explaining, he left the dormitory. Qian Jiang also left, but he did not take away the cigarettes and lighters. The plastic bags were placed on Chi Heng's bed.
This time, Bai Xiaofei was very embarrassed. He thought that the supervisor would definitely report this matter to the leader. In order to protect himself and his roommates, Bai Xiaofei chose to sell Qian Jiang out to the supervisor.
However, the supervisor did not take the action that Bai Xiaofei expected. Instead, he let them off the hook. Looking at the beautifully wrapped cigarettes in the bag, Bai Xiaofei, who was an avid smoker, did not have the urge to smoke anymore.
This was because Bai Xiaofei had just done something outrageous to the owner of these cigarettes.
However, what Zhao Rui did next was surprising. He first fastened the door latch and then walked to the balcony to close the window.
Zhang Cheng's face was full of confusion as he asked, "Zhao Rui, what are you trying to do? Chi Heng's feet are so smelly. If we don't open the window, we will all be smoked to death."
"I have something to tell you, but I don't want it to be heard by the other dormitory members. So I had no choice but to close the windows to prevent eavesdropping. You have to keep this a secret as well."
"Just say it. We are all brothers. We will definitely keep it a secret."
"So mysterious. Could it be that you have taken a fancy to a girl?" Bai Xiaofei continued to say.
Zhao Rui patiently told everyone about Qian Jiang's experience. Only then did everyone know about the quiett Qian Jiang's experience since he was young. It was a sad story.
After listening to Zhao Rui's story, Bai Xiaofei immediately pulled open the door and went out.
"Bai Xiaofei, where are you going?"
"To find Qian Jiang and apologize to him."
Qian Jiang was not in the dormitory. Bai Xiaofei could not find him.
Zhao Rui did not care too much about this matter. After all, his roommates were all very kind and honest. Since everyone already knew about Qian Jiang's past, his roommates would definitely take care of him in the future.
When it was time for his afternoon nap, Zhao Rui's consciousness entered the King of Soldier's training space again.
Originally, Zhao Rui wanted to use the system to continue practicing cross-country training, but this time, Zhao Rui came to a strange room. He floated in the air in the room and there were some strange options on the walls around him.
"Looks + 10", "Increased intelligence", "Shooting ability + 3"... the walls were filled with all kinds of options.
"System, what's going on?"
Zhao Rui couldn't help but ask, "I want to continue training for 5,000 meters."
A familiar electronic voice sounded in the room, "Congratulations to the host for upgrading the system through the previous training. The host can choose any option as a reward."
"So it's a new reward. Then I can choose any of the options?"
"Of course."
Hearing that the system was going to give out rewards, Zhao Rui was very happy to find the reward he liked the most.
