My Little Poplar - Chap 32

Bai Xinyu returned to the dormitory with his luggage, it was empty, apparently they were all working in the kitchen. No sooner had he found an empty bed than the heads of Feng Dongyuan and Qian Liang poked through the door.

“Xinyu!” Feng Dongyuan said with a smile: “Our dormitory is on the ground floor, I’m in the same class as Yu Fengcheng, Qian Liang is in the next class.”

Qian Liang said with a smile: “So, close, no difference, we can still eat together later, Xinyu, what class are you in?”

Bai Xinyu said breathlessly: “Cook Squad.”

“What?”

Bai Xinyu slammed his bags on the floor in anger and shouted: “Cook Squad!”

The two men stared at each other in disbelief and then looked at each other.

Feng Dongyuan came over, looked carefully at Bai Xinyu and said, “Actually… There’s nothing wrong with a Cook Squad, the type of soldier…”

“There is no distinction between different types of soldiers, I’ve heard that many times before, stop it.” Bai Xinyu sat down on the bed with his buttocks, he felt ashamed of himself in front of the two of them.

Qian Liang scratched his head and said, “Well, you’d like the Cook Squad, you don’t have to go to the morning drill, everything’s loosely controlled, you’ve always wanted to go home, it’s much easier in the Cook Squad.”

Feng Dongyuan gave him a push, Qian Liang bowed his head sardonically.

Bai Xinyu whispered: “I used to think so too but…”

Feng Dongyuan sat next to him, put his arm around his shoulders and said, “Xinyu, don’t be discouraged, if you behave yourself, the Company Commander will transfer you back. I heard the sergeant and the Company Commander arguing the other day, I didn’t know what was going on at the time, now I think about it, it’s probably about you, the sergeant is so nice, he’s good to everyone, if you behave yourself, we’ll definitely be in the same squad again.”

Bai Xinyu’s nostrils flared as he listened, he hugged Feng Dongyuan and sniffled: “No way, Xu Chuang is annoying me, he’s been annoying me since the first day on the train, he’s been pushing me around on purpose! –”

Feng Dongyuan patted him on the back and said, “Xinyu, don’t say that, I don’t think the Company Commander is like that…”

“You’re still siding with him!”

“Fine, fine, I won’t say anything.” Feng Dongyuan gently stroked his head and said, “Don’t cry, the Company Commander likes good soldiers, as long as you become a good soldier, he won’t bury you.”

“Oooooooooo…” Bai Xinyu couldn’t help but cry out, “I want to go home, it’s fucking boring, make me cook, who am I to cook for them, I won’t do it, I don’t want to go home…”

Feng Dongyuan sighed, reassured him, “Xinyu, you can’t think like that, what you lack is motivation, you should think about training well, to impress the Company Commander.”

Bai Xinyu shook his head, tears and snot rubbed all over Feng Dongyuan’s shoulders.

Qian Liang also looked helpless beside him.

When it was time to eat, they couldn’t stay long, they comforted him and left. Bai Xinyu slowly packs his bags and despite his reluctance, goes to the kitchen.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he almost choked on the smell of fumes.

“Hey, newbie, what took you so long, we’re almost done.”
