At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?-Chapter 391 - 389: Itinerary Arrangement, Rohingya Refugee Camp

Chapter 391: Chapter 389: Itinerary Arrangement, Rohingya Refugee Camp

The dining area was exclusively designated for the navy officers and men, and it was crowded with a sea of people.

Each person had a metal plate in front of them filled with rice, fish, vegetables, and even an orange or apple distributed to everyone.

Yet two individuals in sailor’s uniforms seemed somewhat out of place among the dining naval officers.

“No more talking, let’s eat!”

Standing at the end of the dining table, a person who looked like the canteen’s big brother with a large ladle waved his spoon in the air.

The crowd, which had just been silent and focused, immediately began to move, and the atmosphere in the dining hall swiftly shifted from serious to relaxed.

The sailors on the Ark had noticeably fewer constraints compared to some of the stricter army units; they were free to chat and even switch seats while eating.

“Look at them, they’re really enjoying their food…”

Seeing a dark-skinned, large sailor beside her wolfing down the food, Lin Xinyue felt her appetite improve significantly.

Although conversation was allowed, the loudest sounds in the dining hall were still the clinking of bowls, spoons, and chopsticks against each other as everyone ate with gusto.

Exhausted from a whole afternoon’s work, everyone was now intensely focused on replenishing their energy.

There were also soldiers who had to switch to night duty conversing with their brothers who had day shifts, discussing work matters.

The entire dining scene was lively and cheerful.

And Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue, the two new faces, naturally caught the curious glances of others.

“Hey, bro, are you new here? I haven’t seen you before; which team are you with?”

A skinny sailor sitting opposite Gu Yu asked, his eyes curiously sizing up Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue.

He was sure that he had never seen these two comrades on board before, yet they were dressed in their sailor uniforms.

Seeing the puzzled look on the guy’s face across the table, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue exchanged smiles.

Gu Yu explained to him, “We’re not soldiers, we’re doctors who boarded today.”

“Doctors?” The skinny sailor nodded.

“You say you’re a doctor, but what kind of medicine do you practice? You look about my age, probably just an intern, right?”

“Interns getting on the Ark, that’s quite impressive! I’ve been on the ship for three years, and I’ve hardly seen any doctors younger than you, though I’ve met plenty of old ones.”

Once the skinny sailor grasped Gu Yu’s identity, he became much more talkative, perhaps feeling more at ease since he perceived Gu Yu to be about the same age as himself.

“I’m a surgeon, like this.”

Gu Yu used two chopsticks to split open a piece of chicken breast on his plate.

Ge Zhengxiang got it immediately, his expression admiring as he gave a thumbs-up, “The kind who cuts people open? Awesome!”

“And what about this beauty?” Ge Zhengxiang’s gaze shifted to Lin Xinyue’s face, and although he was very disciplined, he couldn’t help but stare a few seconds longer.

“This is my fiancée and also my medical assistant,” Gu Yu explained.

Lin Xinyue nodded, “That’s right.”

“I can tell. Just one look at you two together, and anyone could tell you’re a pair; you guys really do have looks that make others envious.”

Ge Zhengxiang nodded, his face filled with envy.

Just look, what’s called a match made in heaven, these two are perfect examples.

“Haha, thanks for the compliment.” Gu Yu chuckled, then turned to inquire about the other man, “Bro, where are you from? Listening to your accent, it feels strangely familiar.”

“Me? I’m from Modu, joined the military straight from school in ’16, got selected for the Ark marines in ’17, and it’s my third year now.”

Ge Zhengxiang spoke while eating, especially proud when he talked about being selected for the Ark, putting down his chopsticks with an air of pride.

Getting chosen for the Ark was a source of envy among his peers at the time.

“From Modu? So am I! I knew the accent sounded familiar.”

Gu Yu’s face lit up, amused by the coincidence of randomly running into a fellow townsman.

“Really? I’m from Minxin, where are you from?”

Hearing that the young doctor was also a Modu native, Ge Zhengxiang’s expression became excited.

He hadn’t been home in almost three years, only having video calls during the New Year, and he missed it dearly.

Realizing Gu Yu was also from Modu, he felt a surge of excitement; it was like the saying, ‘fellow townsmen meeting, tears in both of their eyes’.

“I grew up in Huangpu, and now I’m in Haidong, not too far from Minxin, so we really are fellow townsmen.”

Gu Yu was also somewhat moved; the coincidence was just too perfect.

“Huangpu!? I used to play there a lot as a kid.” Ge Zhengxiang put down his chopsticks, his face alight with excitement.

“Really? Then that’s a huge coincidence; maybe we’ve even met as kids.”

Gu Yu slapped his thigh lightly.

“…” But then the conversation stalled into awkwardness; despite their common hometown, the two didn’t know what else to talk about.

After all, they weren’t familiar with each other and naturally didn’t have much in common.

Lin Xinyue, sitting beside them, couldn’t help but let out a chuckle, seeing the two looking at each other, not knowing what to talk about.

Perhaps it was her laugh that broke the ice, Ge Zhengxiang and Gu Yu both spoke at the same time:

“Can you do me a favor? (Can I ask you some questions?)”

They both said something together, coincidentally meaning the same thing, and simultaneously said, “Of course,” “No problem.”

Both of them couldn’t help but laugh.

Gu Yu: “Haha, looks like we’re in sync. Go ahead, if there’s anything I can help with, I’ll do my best.”
