The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 159: The th Battalion Is Full of Trouble
Because of Cheng Xue and Luan Qian’s recognition, the relationships in the dormitory suddenly became subtle, as if the ten people were unconsciously divided into two factions.
"What were you talking about just now?" After the introductions were complete, Cheng Xue asked the question again.
Wang Miaomiao was also puzzled as to why the expressions on the five girls opposite were so strange.
Wang Cuihua felt uncomfortable too. She hadn’t expected the previous three to be acquainted with the later two. Doesn’t that make their numbers equal? Can she still become the class leader?
Back home, Wang Cuihua was a leader among kids from a young age and enjoyed taking charge. Even the boys in the village her age couldn’t beat her and had to call her Sister Hua. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Oh... The female soldier who brought us here asked us to choose a class leader. Who would have thought... heh..." Xue Yunyun glanced disdainfully at the five people before making a sarcastic remark, "They think they’re superior in numbers and directly appointed Wang Cuihua as the class leader, treating the few of us as air..."
Wang Miaomiao frowned slightly, not entirely fond of Xue Yunyun’s overly arrogant tone, but if what she said was true, then these five people were certainly delusional.
Earlier in the morning when they arrived, after a few exchanges, she realized those five had formed a small clique, with Wang Cuihua at the helm. Now they’re making decisions on their own?
Wang Cuihua was visibly upset, internally cursing Yu Xiaofang for her loose tongue. After collecting herself, she said, "That’s not true. Choosing the class leader should be decided by everyone in the dorm. It’s not up to just us. Xiao Fang merely suggested it, and if anyone disagrees, they are free to oppose it and propose a better candidate..."
Wang Miaomiao raised her eyebrows slightly, surprised by Wang Cuihua’s tendency to protect her own. Despite the situation, she didn’t abandon Yu Xiaofang, crafting an innocent persona for her and offering excuses. Clearly, she’s trying to shield her.
This alone improved Wang Miaomiao’s impression of her.
"Class leader?" Cheng Xue understood the reason for the dispute and felt a bit disinterested, "Class leader of the newcomer camp? What’s there to argue about? If she wants it, let her have it."
After saying that, she pulled Wang Miaomiao and Jiang Huilan back to their beds.
"Hey... why are you..." Xue Yunyun saw that they didn’t care and became anxious.
Just as she was about to say something, Luan Qian stopped her, shook her head and said, "It’s just a class leader in newbie camp. It’s really not worth fighting over. Whoever wants it can have it."
"What do you mean?" Xue Yunyun was indignant for Luan Qian’s sake. Upon receiving her interference, although she didn’t quite understand why she and Cheng Xue reacted that way, she didn’t confront the others and followed Luan Qian to tidy up their beds, but still asked persistently, seeking an explanation.
Luan Qian whispered, "It’s only three months. What’s there to fight about? Who knows where we’ll be assigned afterwards."
"Oh...?" Xue Yunyun came to understand but still pouted, muttering discontentedly, "They’re getting off easy."
Wang Cuihua and her group were somewhat taken aback. What do they mean?
"What do you mean? Who should be the class leader?" Wang Cuihua finally spoke after some silence, as the matter needed a decision.
Wang Miaomiao looked at her sincerely, smiled, and said, "You! Don’t you already have five votes on your side? We have no objections."
"Yeah, you be the class leader. Good luck." Cheng Xue even made a cheering gesture. Others may not know, but they, who grew up in the military, understand how tough the class leader position is, especially in newbie camp.
"I have no objections either." Jiang Huilan said softly, with a charming smile, glad she didn’t have to make a choice.
On the other side, Luan Qian also replied, "Agreed." Her cool expression paired with her cute face made her quite endearing.
Finally, only Xue Yunyun remained. She wouldn’t be so accommodating. Although Luan Qian had hinted not to compete, she couldn’t stand losing out and had to say a few words, "Though you got what you wanted, don’t be too smug. It’s not that you’re exceptional; we just didn’t bother competing with you. Fine, do a good job from now on."
After speaking, she waved indifferently. Her tone and attitude made Wang Miaomiao smirk a little.
Though they had no intention of competing, Wang Cuihua and her group did come across as forceful and unpleasant.
Thus, the small turmoil ended quietly, with some people indifferent and others disgruntled.
"Attention, class leaders of each dormitory, please gather at the playground. Class leaders to the playground..." The loudspeaker repeated three times.
Wang Cuihua forgot her concerns and rushed out.
Cheng Xue sighed watching her.
Wang Miaomiao, in the bunk above her, curious, asked, "What’s wrong?"
Cheng Xue lay down, rolled around, making the neatly arranged bed into a mess, "When she returns, our good days will start. Better loosen up now."
Wang Miaomiao, previously sitting cautiously on the edge to avoid wrinkling the artfully arranged bed, now lamented profusely and started rolling on the blankets.
While the two enjoyed themselves, the rest in the room were confused.
After half an hour, Wang Cuihua returned, gathered everyone for a meeting. Seeing Wang Miaomiao and Cheng Xue’s beds in disarray, she frowned and said seriously, "What’s going on with you two? The beds will be inspected in the afternoon. If they’re messy, our dorm will have points deducted."
Wang Miaomiao noticed her sternness and realized she had indeed indulged herself earlier, quickly saying with a smile, "We’ll tidy it up soon. Don’t worry."
"You tidy it yourselves, huh... Can you make it look exactly as before without losing points?" Wang Cuihua was evidently not so easy-going, even aggressive.
This displeased Cheng Xue, who sat on the upper bunk, arms crossed, looking down at her, "What do you mean? Our beds are like this now, what do you want to do about it?"
"I... You don’t admit to wrongdoing and ask me what to do, how should I know..." Wang Cuihua felt uneasy under Cheng Xue’s pressure, showing slight impatience.
"If you don’t know, then stop babbling nonsense. I said we’d tidy it up ourselves. Can you understand?" Cheng Xue usually refrained from being confrontational, but if provoked, she responded unapologetically.
Her shout silenced the dormitory.
Wang Cuihua was startled, then angered.
Seeing the situation, Wang Miaomiao attempted to mediate, "Alright, class leader, get to the point. What’s up with focusing on our beds..."
