The moment Jian Ruonan entered the barracks, she was greeted by a crowd of scantily dressed soldiers grunting and shouting on the Martial Arts Ground, drenched in reeking sweat.
Some soldiers were so absorbed in their training that they hadn't even noticed their clothes falling open and exposing their pecs.
"Wait, it's only February! There was still frost this morning. Aren't you cold wearing so little?" Jian Ruonan raised a hand to cover her eyes, then parted her middle and ring fingers to peek through.
[Ooh~~~ The perks of this new job aren't bad at all!!!]
"Third Sister, at this very moment, do you feel the urge to compose a poem?!"
Pei Shaoyi: "..."
"Not at all."
[What's going on? Doesn't my sister-in-law love writing sappy poetry? How can she remain unmoved by a sight like this?!]
[She recovered from that affliction awfully fast!]
Pei Shaoyi: "..."
Surrounded by potent male hormones, Jian Ruonan felt a little fawn bounding wildly in her heart.
She called on the Dog System and asked it to contact Black Tortoise to compose a few poems, so she could cast another shadow over her sister-in-law's poetry-loving soul.
That rotten turtle Black Tortoise actually refused.
Jian Ruonan: [Refused? Is it staging a rebellion?!]
Dog System: [That brat Black Tortoise said it's a respectable poet and doesn't write lewd verses.]
Jian Ruonan: *[...]*
What was respectable about it?!
It was the least respectable of them all!
Black Tortoise System: Ah, for our Xiaosi's happiness, I, Black Tortoise, cannot fulfill both loyalty and filial duty!
Jian Ruonan led Pei Shaoyi past the muscular men. Pei Shaoyi covered her mouth with a handkerchief, a hint of distaste in her eyes.
[Another one who's never seen the world!]
Pei Shaoyi: "..."
A subordinate escorted Jian Ruonan onto the Drill
