I, The Female Protagonist With Superpower, Am Super Fierce-Chapter 22 - Like Attracts Like, and Trash Attracts Trash

Gu Yan was surprised, but she quickly understood what he meant. She still asked with sheer curiosity, "How did you figure that out?"

"That mother of yours actually wanted your little sister to join the army." Chen Yuan lowered his head to look at the luggage by her feet and laughed, "That little sister of yours wasn't genuine when she came out to see you off." 

Gu Yan smiled. This guy is pretty smart.

He deliberately helped her with her luggage even after he realized all those things?

She had no impressions of this man in her previous life, because when Gu Moli was brought into the army, she hid in the westside room and cried her eyes out. She didn't see what the people who picked her up looked like.

Gu Yan entered the city a year after that and didn't see this person either. 

When she thought about all that, Gu Yan reached out her hand and introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Gu Yan."

"Chen Yuan." Chen Yuan reached out his hand to shake hers.

The contrast in their skin tone was quite drastic. Gu Yan's skin wasn't really tanned to begin with; she got deeply tanned from working in the field so much. However, she was confident that she could get rid of her tan if she wanted. 

However, when they shook each other's hand, Gu Yan noticed that Chen Yuan's hand was much paler than hers!

No, that wasn't a normal paleness; it was a sickly pale. 

Gu Yan was a military doctor in her previous life, so it was natural for her to be very sensitive when it came to illnesses. 

She looked up and noticed a slight smile on his face, and the strangeness she felt also disappeared. 

They weren't close acquaintances yet, so she wasn't in a position to ask too many questions. Gu Yan nodded her head and didn't say anything else. 

Soon, Xu Wangshan and Chen Yuan picked up the other four female comrades. Other than the time that was delayed at Gu Yan's house, the rest of the delay happened at the downhill village. 

The comrade named Zhang Cuihua was from the downhill village. She was the same age as Gu Yan, which was also eighteen years old. She did not wish to leave home, and she whined about how she was going to miss her family and cried with tears and snot running down her face. When she finally got into the minivan, she kept on crying so hard that she almost fainted. 

Chen Yuan touched the tip of his nose and lowered his voice helplessly. He said to Xu Wangshan, "She made us look like bandits that kidnap girls."

If you don't want to join the army, then don't even come with us!

Didn't you still get into the minivan despite crying your eyes out like that?

Xu Wangshan was speechless too. He had no idea how in the hell this Zhang Cuihua got chosen. 

In the back seat, Gu Yan grinned coldly.

In her previous life, this Zhang Cuihua was super close with Gu Moli. They were inseparable in the army. 

Zhang Cuihua was the town mayor's niece. When she learned that Gu Moli had support from Bai Weiyang, she became even more reckless and did many idiotic things. 

As the saying goes, like attracts like, and trash attracts trash. 

But in this life, at least in the following year, she wouldn't be pulling all kinds of crap with Gu Moli.

Xu Wangshan and the rest arrived in the town. They ate a simple meal and went to the bus terminal. They just happened to catch the last bus that was returning to the city. 

It was already dark. The long-distance bus was going to drive for six to seven hours, which meant that they would be getting off the next morning around four o'clock.

Gu Yan and the other female comrades were calm and collected. They had been through hardships, so this kind of toil was nothing to them. 

Zhang Cuihua cried to her heart's content and ate three bowls of noodles all by herself before getting on the bus. When she heard that she would be spending the night on the bus, she grumbled, "If we keep travelling like this, my bones will shatter by the time we reach our destination."

Chen Yuan was young and had seen plenty of things during this trip. That was the first time that he met a person who was so unbelievably fussy. 

He couldn't take it anymore and said, "Comrade Zhang Cuihua, you can quit now if you do not wish to enroll in the military. Or else once you finally enroll in the military, you will be faced with even more hardships!"

"Why would I be facing hardships in the military? Moli told me that enrolling in the military means enjoying a happy life." Zhang Cuihua had been crying the whole time, and she just stopped crying now. Her throat was all raspy, and her voice didn't sound pleasant. 

She met Gu Moli before when she went to a market fair. Then, she heard that Gu Moli was joining the military, so they became acquaintances. 

At this moment, Zhang Cuihua finally realized something and looked around. She asked curiously, "Ah, how come I don't see Moli?"
