The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 485

After finishing a morning class, Nan XiangWan walked out of the classroom with Nan ChaoYang circling around her like a bee.

Cang Hai and Crystal walked far behind, looking and commenting.

Crystal: "What's going on here?"

Cang Hai: "I heard he's her brother, biological twin."

Crystal: "Wow, twins both attending the National Defense University? These siblings are awesome!"

Cang Hai: "Popular figures."

Crystal: "Of course they are popular figures. Our school only has one celebrity. How could she not be popular?"

Cang Hai: "What class do you have in the afternoon?"

Crystal: "Let me check. Military Management."

Cang Hai: "I have ground crew training in the afternoon. See you at dinner tonight!"

The two quickly parted ways, walking in opposite directions.

Nearby students were confused because they remembered these two were from different majors, Strategic Studies and Military Law, so they shouldn't know each other.

Yet they were whispering after class and meeting for dinner tonight. Could they be from the same military district?

Nan XiangWan felt her brother was too clingy, like a giant clinger.

Wherever she went, he followed!

Nan XiangWan: "Nan ChaoYang, you don't have afternoon classes?"

Nan ChaoYang: "No, I think there's some training in the afternoon."

Nan XiangWan: "Aren't you going to eat lunch then?"

Nan ChaoYang: "I want to eat with sister."

Nan XiangWan: "Get lost! I have something to do this afternoon."

Nan ChaoYang cried on the spot: "Wah! Why do you have to go out again! You just came to school yesterday and already went out twice!"

Nan XiangWan ignored him and ran quickly to the school gate where Xiao Dong was waiting with bags and bags of stuff at the guard post.

The guard soldier on duty had an expressionless face, no matter how Xiao Dong tried to serve him tea and fruit.

Xiao Dong was helpless in the end and could only stand guard with the soldier, though her back started hurting from not standing as straight.

But this only made Xiao Dong admire the soldier even more.

The soldier glanced at her. His eyes were laughing as he found this little assistant amusing.

Nan XiangWan came running over, saluted the soldier first, then registered Xiao Dong before Xiao Dong was allowed to enter the school gate.

As the two girls walked along the campus path, Xiao Dong kept looking left and right curiously, constantly expressing admiration.

While Nan XiangWan helped carry a big bag and complained: "What did you bring? So much stuff!"

Xiao Dong: "Miss Nan, your clothes, underwear, shoes, socks. Don't wash them yourself. I'll come get them in a week and bring you new batch.

Nan XiangWan: "The military school has housekeeping. I wash my own clothes."

Xiao Dong's eyes turned red: "No! What about your piano playing hands!"

Nan XiangWan: "There are washing machines."

Xiao Dong: "Oh, oh, I see."

Nan XiangWan then pointed at another big bag: "What about these?"

Xiao Dong: "Coats and warm thermal underwear. Winter is coming soon and I'm afraid you'll catch cold. I brought you two down jackets! And ten sets of your favorite brand clothes!"

Nan XiangWan's mouth twitched: "The military school has uniforms for daily wear, formal wear, training wear, and seasonal outfits, seven sets total. No chance to wear other clothes."

Xiao Dong: "..."

Nan XiangWan added: "But you can leave them. I won't wear military uniforms on external missions."

Xiao Dong immediately smiled brightly: "Great!"

The two girls put away all the stuff in the dorm. Xiao Dong fluttered around happily, tidying everything. She didn't want Miss Nan doing any chores.

While Nan XiangWan logged into the special forces department's internal website and browsed around.

The first assessment mission rankings were out. The rankings changed from time to time after each assessment ended, with possibilities of major shake-ups.

Different rankings would yield different points. At the end of the semester, total points determined outstanding students.

Of course there were other ways to earn points, though a bit difficult.

At that time, the five-person squad from the first mission ranked top five. That squad traveled the farthest distance with the most difficult missions, so naturally they ranked high after completing everything.

Asura was first place. Flat Head Brother was second.

This pissed Nan XiangWan off so much she almost smashed her phone!

Why was Asura ahead of her! Damn!

Sure enough, everyone in the group chat was discussing the rankings.

'Asura: Ahem! Rankings are out.'

'Matchless: @Asura Congratulations!'

'Cang Hai: Congrats Boss Asura!'

'Crystal: Congrats congrat!'

'Flat Head Brother: @Asura Come out and die!'

'Asura: Sore loser?'

'Flat Head Brother: I don't buy it!'

'Asura: Whether you buy it or not, you still have to accept the rankings. One of the key grading criteria is the smoothness in completing the missions. You chatted with the old man and window clerk for half a day when returning your documents, wasting your own time. Who can you blame?'

'Flat Head Brother:!!!'

Nan XiangWan almost had a breakdown. Details! So details counted towards assessment points too!

Damn! Was careless!

Next time she definitely won't chitchat unnecessarily. Coming within an inch of first place pissed her off!

Xiao Dong happily tidied everything, neatly and aesthetic with no trace of mess.

But when she finished and turned around, she saw Miss Nan clenching her phone gritting her teeth. 𝓯𝘳𝘦𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝓬𝘰𝑚

Xiao Dong tilted her head: "Miss Nan?"

Nan XiangWan took a deep breath and put away her phone: "Let's go eat."

Xiao Dong's eyes lit up: "The cafeteria? Full of military brother eyes?"

Nan XiangWan: "No, crawfish at a nearby place called Hu Xiaolong."

Xiao Dong: "..."

Without another word, Nan XiangWan ordered a feasts worth of crawfish, trying all the flavors.

This crawfish restaurant clips off the tails so the whole crawfish sits in rich broth in a big bowl, making it easy to pinch the head while the peeled tail below stays intact for dunking perfectly in sauce, a whole crawfish in one bite!

It was Xiao Dong's first time eating crawfish peeled but heads still on. She was extremely impressed, but just when she wanted to try, Nan XiangWan stopped her.

Xiao Dong: "???"

Nan XiangWan took out her phone and snapped a pic of the table full of fresh, tasty crawfish, then sent it to the group of 27 people.

After sending it, she muted her phone and put it down heavily on the table.

Nan XiangWan: "Come on, let's eat!"

Xiao Dong: "Yay!"

While the two heartily feasted, the group chat exploded.

'Asura: @Flat Head Brother You!!! Come out and die!!!'

'Crystal: Help! This is the Hu Xiaolong crawfish I dream about eating!'

'Matchless: Let's go eat there too! Don't we have enough for our dinner gathering? Can't we just chip in more?'

'Cang Hai: This is 400RMB per person crawfish! And think about your appetites, all eating like starving ghosts, finishing two big bowls each meal at the cafeteria. If our group goes, 400RMB per person definitely won't be enough, at least double it.'

'Asura: You telling me this makes me feel worse! Ah!!'

'Cang Hai: That's for riling her up. Feels alive huh?'

'Crystal: Asura, this is your fault for provoking Flat Head Brother who indiscriminately attacked all of us!'

'Asura: ......'

'Matchless: Wahhh, I want crawfish!'
