362: Are you Gu Jia's cousin?
"Thank you, Older Brothers, I have learned all these courses."
Xiao Niannian said with a smile.
She had learned most of this knowledge in her Original World, and during her years as a Soldier there, she had also self-studied many courses. Thus, she already knew eighty to ninety percent of the subjects in these books.
After studying the remaining ten percent of the courses, she mastered them as well.
"Big Brother, what are you talking about? Our younger sister is so smart, she definitely knows everything," Gu Jin said with a smile.
Since they were on the train, it wasn't appropriate to discuss matters concerning the Military Unit. Therefore, they didn't speak much.
"Mianmian, are you going to see your paternal aunt this time?"
Xiao Yi said deliberately.
"Yes."
"I really envy you for having such a wonderful paternal aunt."
Hearing this, Mianmian smiled.
"Your family members are also very good."
"You're studying in the City Name, and your paternal aunt even came back from the Capital City to see you..."
"My paternal aunt is quite good to me."
Mianmian said softly, having heard Xiao Yi's words.
For some reason, Xiao Niannian felt that Mianmian looked familiar. But she was certain she had never seen Mianmian anywhere else.
Who could it be?
Xiao Niannian suddenly thought of the so-called maternal aunt, Zhang Fu. She wondered if it was her imagination, but Mianmian and Zhang Fu looked somewhat similar, and their mannerisms were also alike.
If they were truly family, that would be interesting.
However, Zhang Fu only had one daughter, named Zhang Xiaorou, and no other daughters.
Xiao Niannian lowered her head and continued to busy herself.
When it was time to eat, Gu Yuan and Gu Jin brought back braised pork, steamed buns, and rice. Xiao Niannian also took out the meat sauce that Grandparents had made.
Smelling the aroma, Mianmian couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Xiao Yi smelled the aroma and also couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Mianmian, are you hungry? I'll go get you some food. What do you want to eat?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Mianmian gave her five yuan and a few tickets, saying.
"Go look around there and buy whatever you can. I don't want to eat much tonight, so let's eat well at noon."
"Alright."
Xiao Yi took the money, feeling extremely happy.
Although her family was considered decent in the City Name, they were far inferior to Mianmian's family. Since Mianmian wanted to visit relatives in the Capital City and asked her to come along, she was naturally willing.
After all, the opportunity to see the world in the Capital City wasn't something you could just get; her parents hadn't had the chance to visit the Capital City their entire lives.
Moreover, Mianmian was covering all the expenses along the way.
As for the other two students, they were their classmates who were also going to the Capital City to visit relatives.
This way, their safety was guaranteed on their trip to the Capital City.
But she never expected to encounter someone as selfish as Xiao Niannian as soon as they boarded the train.
Mianmian was truly kind-hearted to actually forgive Xiao Niannian.
Xiao Niannian noticed Xiao Yi staring at her, but she paid no attention.
She watched Xiao Yi get off the bunk and walk toward the dining car.
"Little Sister, why are you eating so little?"
"I'm full."
Although Xiao Niannian usually ate a large bowl of rice, sometimes even two, she had been constantly fed by her Older Brothers since boarding the train, so how could she eat any more now?
"Big Brother, Second Brother, you guys eat."
"Okay."
Gu Yuan and Gu Jin finished all the food on the table and put away the beef sauce.
"Little Sister, stay sitting here. Big Brother and Second Brother will go wash the bowls and see if there's any fruit to buy for you."
"Okay."
After Gu Yuan and Gu Jin left, Mianmian looked at Xiao Niannian. She had some doubts in her heart and wanted to ask Xiao Niannian about them.
"comrade, what is your name?"
Hearing Mianmian's question, Xiao Niannian completely ignored her.
Mianmian hadn't expected this. She was usually very good at charming people, and normally when she spoke to someone, they would reply enthusiastically, but Xiao Niannian actually ignored her.
"I have chocolate here, comrade, please take some."
Mianmian handed the chocolate over.
"I won't eat it."
Xiao Niannian saw Mianmian's arrogant expression and immediately knew she was trying to use this opportunity to talk to her, so she flatly refused.
Mianmian was surprised that even after offering chocolate, Xiao Niannian still ignored her.
Mianmian saw the watch on Xiao Niannian's wrist and was stunned for a moment.
She had seen this watch before in the department store in the Capital City. It cost several hundred yuan. She had wanted to buy it then, but someone else bought it, and later that model was out of stock.
How could it be in Xiao Niannian's hands?
She could tell it was the exact same model.
Could it be that the person who bought it gave it to Xiao Niannian?
But that person was very fat, looked to be forty or fifty years old, and the person accompanying him called him Manager?
Mianmian frowned.
Were those two Soldiers and Xiao Niannian siblings? Or were they cousins?
Xiao Niannian noticed Mianmian continuously staring at the watch on her wrist. This watch was a gift from her father, who said he bought it at a department store.
She hadn't even worn the watch her Older Brothers gave her yet; she couldn't possibly wear a different watch every day.
Aside from watches, she couldn't wear other jewelry now either. She didn't usually like wearing jewelry anyway. After all, have you ever seen a Special Forces Soldier wearing a dazzling array of jewelry while on a mission?
Thinking of this, Xiao Niannian smiled.
It had been several months since she last saw her Grandparents and father; she really missed them.
Xiao Niannian then thought of Lu Jing. She hadn't seen Lu Jing in several months, and she wondered how he was doing now.
Lu Jing had called her four times this month, each time only speaking for a few minutes. Lu Jing should be training on the Island now. Thinking of Sea Training, Xiao Niannian couldn't help but imagine what they would look like after training—they would all resemble lumps of charcoal.
Luckily, she was someone who didn't tan easily. Everything else was fine, but during every Sea Training session, she would cover her face, so even if the rest of her body tanned a few shades, her face remained protected.
Mianmian saw Xiao Niannian holding a book with a smile on her face, and she became even more unhappy.
Was Xiao Niannian mocking her?
She just wanted to know the names of Xiao Niannian and the two Soldiers. She felt that these two Soldiers resembled the two cousins her paternal aunt had mentioned.
But it was also possible they weren't.
If they were, then she would know Xiao Niannian's identity.
"Little Sister, it's getting late, you should go to sleep. I lit the Mosquito Coil earlier, so mosquitoes definitely won't bite you."
Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Mianmian suddenly remembered.
Before, there were many mosquitoes in this carriage. She didn't know when, but the mosquitoes had disappeared, and the carriage no longer smelled of sweat, but had a pleasant fragrance.
Mosquito Coil?
They even brought imported Mosquito Coils? To kill mosquitoes? Aside from the two Gu Family cousins, who else would have such capability?
Mianmian thought of this and became even more eager to know the identity of these two Soldiers.
"comrades, are you the Gu Family cousins?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuan and Gu Jin looked toward Mianmian.
