From the bed to the table in the dormitory, it was obvious that they had just moved in from the warehouse not long before school started. There was a thick layer of dust on them. However, Ge Cunshan, Qu Yue, and the others arrived early. Before Qu Sen arrived, they had already cleaned up for half the morning. Therefore, there wasn't much work left after lunch. They cleaned up for a while and were almost done.
The bedding hadn't been distributed yet. There was only a layer of wood with burrs on the bed. Everyone sat on the chairs and chatted.
The sound of a suitcase rubbing against the ground could be heard in the corridor. Soon, the sound came from afar. A few seconds later, a chubby man with fair skin appeared at the door of the dormitory with a suitcase.
The door of the dormitory opened inwards. The newcomer looked at the room number and then greeted everyone in the room, "Hello, brothers. I'm Liu Wei, from the 57th regiment of the air force's second army."
"Oh, the air force!" Wu Changhe sighed.
"No, no. I'm from the ground service and communications tower." Although Liu Wei was modest, his expression was full of pride.
Soldiers from the air force always had a special sense of superiority. After all, not only did they eat and live better than the army, but their salary and military allowance were also higher than the army.
The few people in the dormitory saw Liu Wei greeting everyone warmly. After responding, they took turns to introduce themselves.
It was similar to the rules when Qu Sen came in. They started from the oldest, Ge Cunshan, and then took turns to introduce themselves. After Gao Bo introduced himself, it was Qu Sen's turn.
Qu Sen reported his name and original unit as usual. Liu Wei was interested and asked Qu Sen, "You don't look that old. How long have you been in the army?"
In the army, age really didn't represent the length of service. For example, Qu Sen only joined the army after graduating from college. He was already 21 years old. However, there were a lot of people who joined the army when they were 17 or 18 years old. By the time they were 21 years old, they were already a first class sergeant.
However, in comparison, Qu Sen's face was more tender and he looked a little younger than his actual age.
Since he was asked, Qu Sen answered honestly, "I'm 21 years old. I joined the army at the end of last year."
"Wow, what a good student. You came to school after being a soldier for less than nine months. You joined the army to study for your undergraduate degree, right? "Liu Wei asked with a smile.
Qu Sen saw that he had misunderstood and immediately explained, "No, I was recommended by the army."
"Oh, that's pretty good!" Liu Wei said meaningfully. He then turned to chat with Ge Cunshan and the others.
Qu Sen clearly felt that Liu Wei's tone was a bit strange, but he didn't understand. Even if he was "guaranteed" and didn't take the exam, it didn't seem like he was inferior to others.
Soon, Qu Sen realized that the other people in the dormitory were looking at him meaningfully, intentionally or unintentionally. It wasn't until Gao Bo avoided everyone's gaze and gave him a thumbs up that Qu Sen suddenly realized that everyone in the dormitory had misunderstood.
Other than Gao Bo, the other people in the dormitory all came from the army. They all knew about the requirements of the recommendation. Qu Sen didn't say anything else. Just the fact that he got a recommendation after being a soldier for less than a year was enough to make everyone think about other things.
For example, the relationship between soldiers.
Although Qu Sen had seen that there were quite a number of schools offering specialized classes on the application list, and the number of people recruited for each major wasn't small. However, if the number of students was compared to the number of officers and soldiers in the military with a college degree, it would be nothing.
In addition, national defense students with a college degree like Gao Bo took up a portion of the spots. How many spots would there be left? It could be said that every student that got in had to work hard to get in.
At this time, a guy who "didn't spend much effort" suddenly popped up. This made Qu Sen feel isolated.
With this in mind, Qu Sen understood why everyone looked at him strangely. However, he couldn't rush to explain to others how he got a recommendation. Therefore, he was very depressed but couldn't say anything.
After thinking about it, he felt that he would have a chance to explain it sooner or later. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry. Being misunderstood for two days wouldn't kill anyone.
While Qu Sen was being misunderstood by the class, Zhou Li was also having a headache.
After lunch, Li Ying complained that the medicine prescribed by the school hospital was too cheap. She went to the pharmacy outside and spent money to buy new medicine for Zhou Li. However, as soon as she entered the dormitory, she smiled and said to Zhou Li, "Guess who I just met?"
"Who?" Zhou Li asked strangely.
"Do you still remember Zhao Shixiong who was two years older than us when we were in university?" Li Ying's smile started to show a hint of mischief.
"No way?" Zhou Li suddenly had a bad premonition. Then, this premonition was quickly confirmed, and it was even worse than expected.
Li Ying said, "He is now studying in this university and is also following Professor Wu."
"No way!" Zhou Li irritably pulled up the towel and covered his head.
When Zhao Shixiong saw Zhou Li in university, he was madly infatuated with her.
Moreover, Zhao Shixiong was a man of action. His bold pursuit and love followed one after another, which caused a lot of trouble in Zhou Li's freshman year. Fortunately, when Zhou Li was a sophomore, Zhao Shixiong started his internship.
However, on the night before he left, he drank some wine and crazily sang a love song outside Zhou Li's dormitory building. If it weren't for his good behavior and good grades, he would have been punished.
Hearing Zhao Shixiong's name, his past gradually began to surface. Zhou Li was irritated when he suddenly thought of a very serious problem. He took the towel off his head and asked Li Ying, "Did you tell him that I'm also studying here?"
"I don't need to tell him." Li Ying sprayed the aerosol on Zhou Li's wound and said, "Do you think he doesn't know the name of the professor's students this year?"
"I'm definitely having a bad year!" Zhou Li said bitterly and covered his head with the towel again.

It was soon three o 'clock in the afternoon. Maybe it was because the students had not arrived yet, so the whistle to inform everyone to pick up their daily necessities was not blown.
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor. It was similar to Liu Wei's footsteps. The footsteps came from afar and then stopped in front of the 510 dormitory.
When everyone looked at the door, the person at the door said in surprise, "My God, Brother Qu, we are in the same dormitory."
At this time, Qu Sen also stood up and looked at the person at the door with disbelief. He shouted in surprise, "Ke Lan?"
The person who came was the secretary of the armored regiment. He was the one who helped Qu Sen block the "60 Fire" ammunition box during the "Storm" exercise when the armored regiment attacked the supply camp of the mountain brigade.
"You didn't expect this, did you? I heard from the regiment commander that you also majored in communications and command. I didn't call you because I wanted to give you a surprise." Ke Lan looked at the "shocked" Qu Sen and said proudly.
Before the infantry regiment decided on the name list, the regiment commander of the armored regiment made a phone call to ask for someone. However, he was rejected by Liu Yuanchao once, so this time he called the political commissar, Zhao Zhi.
When he heard that Qu Sen was recommended for further studies, he asked around and found out that Qu Sen majored in communications and command. He told Ke Lan, who also majored in communications and command, about this.
The advanced course was not like the college entrance exam. Every school would only recruit students for one course. Therefore, the two of them majored in the same course, which meant that they would be classmates in the future.
Ke Lan came from a family of martyrs. His mother raised him alone. Their living conditions were not good, so Ke Lan did not perform well in the college entrance exam. His score did not reach his ideal university. His mother originally wanted him to resume his studies for a year. In order to save money for his family, he applied for a full-time college entrance exam.
Because he could get his diploma after taking the full-time college entrance exam for two years, he joined the army a year earlier than Qu Sen. However, many children in the south started school when they were six years old. Therefore, he was one year younger than Qu Sen.
He had tried to take the entrance exam for the Advanced Course last year, but he did not pass. After working hard for another year, he finally got the admission notice this year.
During the exercise, Qu Sen spent a lot of time in the armored regiment's command center. Because most of the people in the command center were officers, he chatted more with Ke Lan.
At that time, Ke Lan was full of admiration for Qu Sen. He did not care that he was actually one year older than Qu Sen. He directly called Qu Sen, who was one year older than him, Brother Qu.
When they attacked the mountain brigade's supply camp, Ke Lan saw Qu Sen rush down the hill and hit the Blues' fuel truck with his own eyes.
Although Qu Sen's helmet was smoking and he threw a grenade into the enemy's camp, the scene of him being pinned to the ground by a Blues officer was a little embarrassing. However, when he saw Qu Sen rush to the Blues' camp with a gun after firing a rocket, Ke Lan's admiration for him rose to the level of worship.
When Ke Lan found out that Qu Sen was recommended for further studies and that he majored in the same course as him, he was overjoyed. He almost used the military line to tell Qu Sen the good news.
