After approximately twenty minutes, the sound of light footsteps could be heard from outside the dormitory. Immediately, everyone adjusted their sitting postures and sat up straight. The recitation of the rules became louder. Those who had been dozing off quickly woke up.

The door opened, and Ye Sanshi entered with the scent of smoke trailing behind him. Everyone was aware that he smoked, but he usually didn’t do it in front of them.

“Alright, get ready. It’s almost time for us to wash the clothes. We need to be quick.”

He then looked at Song Yuejin. “Song Yuejin!”

After taking attendance, he turned to Qin Li.

“Qin Li, you two will help me wash my clothes later!”

“Ah!”

“Uh…”

The two of them were taken aback by his words.

Ye Sanshi glared at them. “What’s wrong? You two failed yesterday. Do you think there won’t be any consequences? Let me tell you, there will be another physical fitness test next week. If both of you fail again, the entire class’s laundry duty will fall on you two!” As soon as he said this, Qin Li’s face turned pale, and Song Yuejin clenched his fists.

Meanwhile, Liang Fan and the others grinned. However, their laughter quickly disappeared. “What are you laughing at?” Ye Sanshi glared at Liang Fan before addressing everyone.

“Let me make this clear. Passing the test is just the minimum requirement. Your foundations were different before coming here, but now that you’re here, what I expect is progress. I recorded everyone’s results from yesterday’s physical fitness assessment. The next time we run the 3,000-meter sprint, you need to improve your time by at least 10 seconds. Failing to do so will be considered a failure.”

At that moment, someone looked at Liang Fan with the intention of beating him up. This was to be expected.

Of course, Wang Ye knew that even if Liang Fan hadn’t laughed, Ye Sanshi would have said the same thing.

“Damn it, who moved my blanket?”

Suddenly, an angry shout came from outside!

Everyone in Class Five was stunned, their gazes fixed on the direction of the door.

Though they couldn’t see the person, they recognized the voice as that of the fourth-class monitor from the neighboring class.

Ye Sanshi was clearly taken aback. He looked at everyone and said, “Stay here and behave!” With that, he hurriedly ran out.

“What’s going on?” Wang Ye and the others heard Ye Sanshi’s question.

“Fuck, someone took my blanket!” The voice of the fourth-class monitor carried a tone of anger.

In the next moment, Wang Ye and the others heard Ye Sanshi’s laughter. “Haha, did your classmates help you wash it?”

Having been in the army for a while, they were familiar with such pranks. Even if they hadn’t witnessed it, they had heard about it.

For instance, some smart recruits would try to curry favor with their squad leaders by voluntarily washing their clothes and running errands.

Of course, Ye Sanshi was concerned that some clever recruits would take the initiative to wash the class monitor’s blanket if they noticed it was dirty.

And now…

Soon, the fourth squad leader’s voice could be heard again, confirming this fact.

“Who told you to wash my blanket!”

At the entrance of the laundry area, a new recruit from the fourth squad had a flushed face. He lowered his head, at a loss for words.

Reacting to the fourth class monitor’s voice, he quickly ran out and said with a smile, “Class monitor, it wasn’t lost. I washed it for you!”

He seemed pleased with himself.

However, instead of receiving praise, he was met with a face full of spit from the class monitor.

Ye Sanshi caught up and grabbed the fourth squad leader, who raised his hand as if to defend himself.

“I… I was just…”

“I was just looking at it. Look, class monitor, your blanket was dirty…” The recruit was already terrified.

He also realized that his flattery had backfired.

“Pfft… How clever!”

In Class Five, Qin Li, who had initially been unhappy about having to wash the class monitor’s clothes, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Gu Yingnan, too, couldn’t help but grin. “He’s probably an idiot, right?”

“By the way, aren’t there any smart people in their class?”

Helping the class monitor wash his blanket?

As they looked at the blanket on Ye Sanshi’s bed, the students of Class Five didn’t entertain such thoughts at all.

If they washed it, would it still be folded neatly like this?

And if they couldn’t fold it properly, what would they do?

“Hehe, I’m guessing the soldiers in their class aren’t good people either. They’re probably enjoying the spectacle!” Wan Baojiang revealed the truth.

Indeed, the new recruits had just arrived. They were essentially strangers to one another. Everyone had different personalities.

Some recruits might be friendly and quickly form bonds, while others might prefer to keep to themselves.

The recruit from the fourth squad fell into the latter category. He always sought favor with the squad leader, which led to disdain from his fellow recruits. They secretly despised him.

This time, he wanted to wash the class monitor’s blanket and curry favor. Even though the others saw through his intentions, they held back and watched the show unfold.

And that was exactly what happened.

“Haha, alright, calm down. The recruit meant well. Besides, your blanket probably hasn’t been washed since you joined the army. It’s fine if it’s washed. Just iron it yourself and press it for a couple of days. It’s just a blanket.”

Ye Sanshi’s laughter could be heard from outside. As a second-term sergeant, Ye Sanshi held a higher rank than the fourth squad leader, who was still a first-class soldier. In front of Ye Sanshi, they were all new recruits. Thus, Ye Sanshi’s words carried weight.

Though the fourth squad leader was sulking and frustrated since the blanket had already been washed, he could only glare at the recruit with resentment. Then, he shouted toward the laundry area, “Are they all useless inside the damn laundry? Time’s up! Bring me my clothes.”

After shouting, he took a deep breath and said to the recruit at the door of the laundry area, “You go in and retrieve the good stuff.”

About thirty seconds later, Ye Sanshi returned with a grim expression on his face.

Outside, the fourth class monitor had also arrived with some recruits to hang the clothes.

Observing the scene in the dormitory, Ye Sanshi cleared his throat and stopped smiling. He said, “Listen up. From now on, no one is allowed to touch my belongings without my permission.”

This was the first time he had encountered such an incident. It was entertaining, but he certainly didn’t want it to happen to him.

“Yes, sir!” Everyone in Class Five stood at attention and responded.

Of course, they had heard the commotion outside just now. They weren’t foolish.

Moreover, it didn’t seem like there was anyone in Class Five who liked to curry favor with the class monitor, right?

There were two stubborn individuals, such as Wan Baojiang, who had expressed his unwillingness on the first day, and Deng Hai, who insisted on staying in bed for a few extra seconds.

Of course, Deng Hai had completely changed after enduring a cup of tea.

And as for Wan Baojiang, he wouldn’t stir up trouble for no reason.

“Alright, let’s go wash the clothes!”

Ye Sanshi watched as everyone left but chose not to join them this time.

Instead, he turned around and took out a cell phone from his pocket.

This was the reward he had received for securing the moving red flag last week.

Since it was the weekend, he could enjoy it for a day..
