Chapter 1918 — It's Actually Chen Yuxuan

But after he finished speaking, he clearly sensed that something was off—because the pharmaceutical department actually had only one girl! In the past, the pharmaceutical department had basically had no girls at all, and though the classes Chen Yuxuan had led sometimes had more boys than girls, there had never been a case like this with only one girl!
After all, when a university divided classes by major, it also balanced the numbers of male and female students. Though majors like computer science and office automation, with their many boys, had few girls, even so a class of thirty would have eight to ten girls; even fewer, but never just one!
When there were more girls, a few of them could band together, and sleeping in the same room as the boys at night was no great matter—after all, everyone was clothed, and the girls would surely cluster together, far apart from the boys. But a situation like this, with only one girl, was the first Chen Yuxuan had encountered, and he felt somewhat at a loss.
How were they to sleep? Let this one girl spend the night with a whole crowd of boys? Even one more girl to keep her company would have been better. As it was, if the girl wanted to use the toilet or take a shower at night, there would be no one to accompany her—inconvenient beyond words.
Glancing at the roster in his hand, Chen Yuxuan said, "Wang Xinyan, you are the only girl in the class. It may be a little inconvenient for you at night. How about I transfer you to another class?"
"Huh?" Wang Xinyan was slightly taken aback. To be honest, being the only girl in the whole class was indeed inconvenient in many ways, but here at least there were a few classmates she knew, and her good friend Wei Zhao. If she were transferred to a class of complete strangers, she feared she would be even more ill at ease.
Seeing Wang Xinyan dazed, Bai Weituo stepped out of the ranks, stood at attention, and said, "Reporting, Instructor! I am the class monitor, Bai Weituo. Wang Xinyan is Wei Zhao's girlfriend. There is no inconvenience!"
As class monitor, he naturally had to step forward at a time like this—and besides, Wei Zhao was his elder brother, and Wang Xinyan counted as a good friend of his. The vice monitor was Wang Xinyan herself, so it would clearly be improper for her to report on her own behalf; better that he, the class monitor, speak up.
Bai Weituo had already received the military training regulations and knew how to report a situation to an instructor, so he did it meticulously.
Chen Yuxuan glanced at Wei Zhao in some surprise and found that Wang Xinyan was indeed standing beside him. He was rather puzzled—when had Wang Xinyan become Wei Zhao's girlfriend? But seeing Wang Xinyan's face slightly flushed and Wei Zhao raising no objection, he nodded: "Very well. Class Monitor Bai Weituo, return to the ranks. In that case, collect your camouflage uniforms and supplies, go to the mess hall for dinner at five, and be back here at six **!"
"Yes, sir!" Bai Weituo answered and returned to the ranks.
Just then, soldiers from the unit drove up a load of supplies in a small pickup. Chen Yuxuan beckoned to Bai Weituo, signaling him to help hand the things out.
After collecting their supplies, the classmates all went to the connected houses to rest. The connected houses were in fact one long communal bunk; the conditions were not good, but such an arrangement was probably meant to temper everyone's spirit of hardship.
