Chapter 416: Always Prepared!

Yet Tiedan actually nodded, his well-behaved little appearance making An Yinan rub his hair.

"So well-behaved!"

Tiedan wrapped his lotus-root-like little arms directly around An Yinan's neck, "Auntie~"

An Yinan smiled, held him while grabbing a water cup, and fed him a few sips of water.

It was clear that Tiedan had been taught very well.

Moreover, his personality was very stable; perhaps because he had been around many people, he was not shy at all.

He could also express his own thoughts.

She held Tiedan with one arm and a book with the other, starting to read her textbook.

She had applied for the sophomore textbooks from her Tutor today, and for the entire year's worth; she was always busy, and her time was already scheduled until the year after next.

All the textbooks required self-study.

"Nan Nan, let me hold him."

Zhou Ruo Ran finished a sketch, saw how hard Nan Nan was working, and hurriedly got up to take Tiedan.

Little Tiedan had already been sleepy and was lying on Nan Nan's shoulder, about to fall asleep.

But upon hearing his mother's voice, as if afraid of being taken away, he immediately hugged Nan Nan's neck tightly.

An Yinan tapped his little face, "You little rascal!"

She then said to Zhou Ruo Ran, "It's fine, Tiedan is still light, I'm not tired."

A child like this really had no weight to her.

"Alright then," Zhou Ruo Ran replied helplessly.

With the big one and the small one refusing to let go, what could she do?

By the time the lights were about to go out, Tiedan had long since fallen asleep.

An Yinan placed Tiedan on the bed and covered him with the quilt.

She rubbed her arm and moved it around to prevent blood congestion.

She put her books on the upper bunk and, taking advantage of the gap before the lights went out, hurriedly went out to wash up.

Lying on the dormitory bed, she actually felt the bed moving in the middle of the night; it was a habit from before, even in the middle of the night, she would hear the sounds of bombs and feel the shaking.

In the half-month since she returned, she had been studying exceptionally hard, attending classes on time every day without asking for leave.

This made Liu Jianguo feel somewhat gratified that his student finally understood the importance of learning.

She attended classes during the day and took time to refine medicine at night, and she had entrusted Guo Ge to purchase quite a lot of medicinal herbs, all of which she stored in her space.

"Nan Nan, have you seen the school's volunteer application?"

One noon, Zhao Qiu Hua brought over the volunteer application issued by the school.

An Yinan thought to herself, so soon?

In half a month, they had already started issuing them jointly?

She took the volunteer application form.

However, this application form was quite unique; it introduced some situations inside and also stated that participation was voluntary.

Voluntary choice?

An Yinan thought for a moment; the Education Bureau must have its own intentions.

"Nan Nan, are you going?" Zhao Qiu Hua asked.

After they returned, at the very beginning, they were very unaccustomed to it; sometimes in the middle of the night, they would suddenly hear the sound of bugles, and she would also wake up in a start.

When dreaming, she would dream of a sight of scarlet red.

She would also dream of scenes with bombs and bullets flying everywhere.

Later, she slowly got used to it, and her habit of observing the surrounding environment also slowly adjusted.

Was this the suggestive question of the psychological test?

An Yinan looked at her and gave a bitter smile, "We cannot refuse."

If her guess was correct, for this news to come down so quickly, there must have been pressure from the Military Department.

And there were also deployment orders from the Frontline.

As for the Education Bureau, someone was likely pushing it deliberately; otherwise, things would not have come down so quickly.

Not to mention that it concerned these top students.

Even if they didn't want to go, it seemed they couldn't.

However, she had already been making preparations, specifically to head to the battlefield.

"Nan Nan, are you all still going?"

The school had suspended classes, and many students had signed up as volunteers.

There were also some teachers who had signed up.

Especially in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, the teachers had issued an order for everyone to participate as much as possible.

Liu Jianguo had signed up, Professor Feng had signed up, and many other teachers had signed up as well.

They knew better than the general public the principle that only with a country can there be a home.

"Students, the country needs us, and the people need us!"

The Principal stood on the podium, looking at the vibrant children, hoping only that they could return safely.

"Are you ready?" The Principal's words were heavy, but carried a firmness he hadn't even realized himself.

Previously, he had considered the students' safety and their future.

He just hadn't considered the country!

Awakened by someone's words, he suddenly realized.

Now he felt proud of those rushing to the battlefield; these young faces, their gazes were so resolute.

This group of people were the true talents the country needed!

"Always prepared!"

Whether it was telepathy or not, that group of people who had stepped onto the battlefield early shouted this sentence in unison at this moment.

It seemed to be an intensification of the atmosphere, or perhaps an emotion that reached straight to the heart.

Everyone said in unison, "Always prepared!"

The solemnity and firmness in that voice moved group after group of people.

Beijing University became the first batch to enter the Frontline,

and they were proud of it!

Groups of people from the Education Bureau looked at these vibrant young people and saw their patriotism.

"They are all good children!" A lady looked at the group, as if thinking of her own child.

Liu Xicai could not see the people below clearly, nor could she find her Nan Nan.

But she never doubted that among this group of people, her Nan Nan must be there.

"I hope they return safely." After Liu Xicai finished speaking, the group fell silent.

"Depart!" The Principal waved a hand.

The team leaders began to call out orders.

Because there were many people in this batch, the Military Department specifically dispatched trucks.

A group of people lined up and boarded the vehicles in an orderly fashion.

The lead teacher was none other than Liu Jianguo.

And that he could become the lead teacher had everything to do with An Yinan.

After all, An Yinan had been in that place the longest and understood the situation somewhat.

The people left, and the parade ground became empty, seeming to grow a few degrees colder.

"They will come back!" Hua Wensheng patted the Principal on the shoulder.

The Principal nodded without speaking.

During these days, besides preparing a large amount of medicinal herbs, An Yinan had also refined various medicinal powders, all for use at the Frontline.

During this period, she had her eldest uncle find someone to send a batch of medicinal powders over.

They had been widely applied at the Frontline.

"This time, I will escort everyone to the Southern Front; I hope everyone can cooperate with our work."

The person escorting them this time was still Yun Bi.

Along the way, no one spoke; everyone was filled with anticipation and anxiety about the future.

As for the few who had been to the battlefield, each of them was dozing off.

"An Yinan, in this environment, you can still sleep?" Zhang Cheng was from the Economics Department; he was standing next to An Yinan when they were lining up.

Seeing An Yinan sleeping the whole time, with all this swaying, how could she fall asleep?

An Yinan and Jiang Yun Duo opened their eyes together and looked at the person who was staring wide-eyed.

"If you all cannot rest in this environment,"

"to speak the truth, you had better return to those warm classrooms early; don't go to the Frontline and smear the school's reputation."

Just as Jiang Yun Duo was about to explain, An Yinan's sarcasm had already arrived.

Explain?

Wouldn't it be better for her to use that time to get more sleep?

After she finished speaking, regardless of anyone's expression or their flushed faces, she closed her eyes again.
