Now that they had arrived at the training camp, it was impossible to feel as comfortable as at home.

The place where the children would be resting and sleeping was a large concrete room, with an old, worn-out fan that made rattling noises overhead. In the center of the room was a pieced-together hard bed, which everyone would sleep on later.

After all, these children were still young and there were no such strict measures needed. Besides, there was a bed about one meter wide at the end of the room, which should be for the instructor.

Liu Miaomiao, who had finally reached the resting spot, sniffed and wanted to cry again when she saw this. The bed looked so hard, less than half the size of her bed, and there was no cool breeze in the room.

When they learned that five people were sleeping in the bed, Qian Xin and Liu Yanzhi both had unpleasant expressions, let alone Liu Miaomiao.

One of them was treasured at home, and the other, although his family dynamics were complex, was definitely not treated unfairly materially.

Not to mention that their rooms were large, it was also equipped with a toy room, a study room, and so on, which was even better than the places where many ordinary families live. Even though they were somewhat mentally prepared before coming, such conditions still refreshed their worldview.

Was it really possible to sleep on such a bed?

Even Lu Chenjun couldn’t help frowning.

He doesn’t like the idea of sleeping with so many children, it makes him uncomfortable just thinking about it.

The only one who has adapted well there was probably Xu Youyou.

This kind of environment wasn’t much different from that in the orphanage. Although Xu Youyou had been living better during this period, she hadn’t forgotten her days in the orphanage.

And this time, she came there vowing to learn skills. Of course, she couldn’t give up halfway before she even started.

Was that how the phrase was used?

Xu Youyou recalled Xu Wenyin’s words. When would her mother ‘come over’? She wasn’t used to being away from her mother for so long.

“Take a ten-minute break and gather after that.”

The instructor doesn’t care what these little brats think. Since they were there, they have to learn to adapt. Even if they were princesses and princes before, they’re just now ordinary trainees.

At most, he could be more tolerant because they’re still young.

The instructor had a stern face, wondering how many of the five children would be left in seven days, and whether there would still be a second phase.

He had seen this kind of thing too many times, and he didn’t feel any fluctuation in his heart. He was even looking forward to the reaction of these brats when they went to the cafeteria later on with a little bit of humor.

“Uncle, we want to drink water.”

“Call me Instructor!”

After the instructor said this reflexively, he lowered his head and saw Xu Youyou in front of him.

Her voice was milky, her big eyes were twinkling, and her fair little face had a hint of blush, probably because of the heat.

She was simply every man’s dream daughter. If he had such a daughter, he would let her do whatever she wanted!

“Cough.” The instructor forcibly maintained an expressionless and serious face. “The water cups are over there, you have to get it yourselves, understand?”

There’s a water dispenser in the other corner of the room, and Xu Youyou has long learned to use it under Xu Wenyin’s guidance. So she naturally picked up the paper cups on the side and walked towards Lu Chenjun with two half-full cups of water. “Juanjuan, drink water!”

Instructor: “……”

If he had this kind of considerate and sensible little cotton-padded jacket, he would be willing to go bankrupt!

Lu Chenjun licked his somewhat dry lips and stood up to take the water cup. He was no longer as unresponsive as before, otherwise he suspected that Xu Youyou would pour the water directly into his mouth.

Moreover, Lu Chenjun also knew that this was Xu Youyou’s kindness and he shouldn’t refuse and say thank you at the same time.

“Xu Youyou, I want to drink water too!” Liu Miaomiao from the side immediately came over.

She was crying and making a fuss, so she was already thirsty after walking such a long way. If she were at home, she would just shout and someone would bring her water, unlike there.

Hearing that, Xu Youyou drank the water in one gulp, then gave a satisfying burp, before pointing to the water dispenser with one finger. “You can get it yourself, I’ve finished mine~”

Liu Miaomiao pouted, but she knew from the past few times that Xu Youyou wouldn’t indulge her like her parents did. She rubbed her sore calves and looked at Xu Youyou while holding back her tears. “I don’t know how.”

She didn’t see clearly how Xu Youyou managed to take water. She hadn’t learned this at home, nor had she even seen this type of water dispenser.

After Xu Youyou drank water, she felt that her strength had returned. She also saw Qian Xin and Liu Yanzhi who were also listening with their ears perked up. Thinking about what Grandma Wu said about helping others, she got up and beckoned to the three children. “Come here, come here, Youyou will teach just once oh~”

Not only Liu Miaomiao, but even Lu Chenjun silently followed.

He couldn’t always let Xu Youyou get him water. If his mother found out, she would definitely laugh at him.

Moreover, Lu Chenjun’s pride wouldn’t allow him to do so either.

“Be sure not to touch the red one. There’s very hot water inside and you’ll get hurt.”

One spoke seriously while four listened even more seriously.

In fact, for safety reasons, this water dispenser wasn’t powered on, which meant that even if the red tap was pushed down, there would be no hot water coming out. However, the instructor felt that this little thing didn’t need to be mentioned. The little girl taught very well.

Soon, several children had a cup of cool water in their hands.

Drinking the water they got for themselves tasted particularly sweet.

“Glug, glug.” The only sound that could be heard in the quiet room was of the children drinking water.

Xu Youyou also took an extra cup and walked towards the instructor who was observing them with her short legs. “Unc— Instructor, drink water~”

This was the first time a child handed him water!

Even the most serious adult couldn’t remain straight-faced at this moment. He showed what he thought was a kind smile. “Thank you.”

Then he drank it all in one gulp.

For the sake of this cup of water, he let them rest for five more minutes.

Even so, break time still ended quickly.

However, after this time, the children became familiar with each other. Xu Youyou directly called Qian Xin ‘Xiao Pang’, and Liu Yanzhi also used his nickname because his full name was a mouthful.

An’an^[1]be content with one’s lot.

A very simple wish.

“These are what you’ll be having for lunch. Once they’re ready, then you can start eating.”

The five children gathered in a circle, and in front of each of them was a small basin of green soybeans and cabbage.

The shells of the green soybeans needed to be peeled off and the cabbage needed to be torn by hand.

After the instructor’s demonstration, everyone got started quickly, and Xu Youyou was the best among them.

“Youyou, you’re so amazing!”

Qian Xin couldn’t help but exclaim, his tone was one of complete sincerity.

Liu Yanzhi also echoed, “You’re really amazing.”

Whether it was at the beginning or now, Xu Youyou performed very well and did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Hearing them, Xu Youyou kept moving her hands, but she spoke without any hint of pride, “Because I’ve done it many times. You guys can definitely do it with more practice.”

Children in the orphanage wouldn’t be idle as long as their hands could move.

Like the vegetable in front of her, Xu Youyou didn’t know how many times she had peeled this.

But Liu Miaomiao suddenly interjected, “Why are you doing these things? Is your nanny abusing you?”

She didn’t mean any harm with that statement. At Liu Miaomiao’s age, she still hadn’t understood that not every family has a nanny.

Her parents have taught her that if the nanny treated her badly, she must tell them, so Liu Miaomiao quickly added, “Tell your mom, they’ll make the bad nanny go!”

Xu Youyou tilted her head. “But there’s no nanny in my house, just Mom and me.”

“Where’s your dad?”

“Mom said Dad is dead.”

The instructor watching the children from the side: “……?”

What kind of mother was this? There’s no need to mention things like the person becoming a star in the sky, be she couldn’t just bluntly say that they’re dead, right?

Just when the instructor was thinking about how to change the topic, the other four children didn’t react much. Instead, they naturally asked Xu Youyou what else she could do.

Probably only adults would think that knowing someone didn’t have a father was a big deal.

Xu Youyou started counting on her fingers. “I can also skip rope, brush my teeth……”

Qian Xin said, “Wow, you can brush your teeth on your own, Youyou? I don’t even know how.”

Liu Yanzhi echoed, “I also don’t know how.”

Lu Chenjun had been relatively quiet and didn’t seem to say anything, but he secretly made up his mind that he must also learn to brush his teeth, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to lose to Xiao Lu.

It was Liu Miaomiao’s first time chatting with kids her age like this. Her original unhappiness disappeared instantly, leaving only novelty.

Coupled with the fact that Xu Youyou was the only little girl there besides her, with an inexplicable emotion, she thought of endless issues.

“Then if your family doesn’t have a nanny, how do you usually eat?”

Xu Youyou said, “Mom will cook for me. The food she makes is delicious.”

Liu Miaomiao suddenly looked envious. “My mom’s cooking is terrible. Your mom is so good.”

Qian Xin smiled and patted his round belly. “My mom’s cooking is also super-duper-delicious. You can all come to my house next time!”

At this time, Xu Wenyin, who finally bid farewell to Qin Yiren and returned to her own home, couldn’t wait to change back and came to Xu Youyou’s mind.

And the first words she heard were from Liu Miaomiao.

“I don’t want to work that hard. Grandma said Miaomiao would marry a prince in the future. Just leave all these things to him.”

What?! Listen to this! You can’t corrupt my family’s Youyou!

Xu Wenyin was immediately furious and wanted to teach Xu Youyou a few words to refute the other kid’s words.

Unexpectedly, Xu Youyou spoke first.

She frowned with a look of disapproval. “No, my mom said that girls need to be capable. Boys are big pig trotters^[2]inconsiderate whose only purpose is to eat meat.”
