16 – She Has an Eidetic Memory
Seeing that she had settled down, Chu Lanyan and Meng Yanfei nodded in satisfaction. Chu Lanyan accompanied her back to her room to rest, continuously offering comfort.
After returning to the room, Chu Lanyan noticed Chu Ruan remained sullen and silent, growing impatient with further coaxing, she stood up and left.
In her room, Chu Ruan discovered a book—the kind of fashion magazine Chu Lanyan often read. She casually flipped through a couple of pages before deciding to return it.
Chu Lanyan took it with a smile, saying, “I must have left it in your room earlier. If you’d like to read it, sister, feel free to keep it.”
Her smile carried a hint of disdain.
She was certain Chu Ruan couldn’t understand it, after all, Chu Ruan was just a country bumpkin from the mountains.
How could she possibly comprehend such high-class fashion magazines? It was laughable.
Chu Ruan shook her head, her voice hoarse from crying, “I glanced at a couple of pages.”
Chu Lanyan became even more convinced she didn’t understand and boastfully opened the book. “Actually, there’s nothing hard to understand. It just introduces the spring collections of major fashion brands and analyzes their brand characteristics.”
“For example, the dress I’m wearing is Fila’s new spring design…”Chu Lanyan began to speak incessantly.”
“That’s not right,” Chu Ruan suddenly interrupted.
Chu Lanyan stopped in surprise, not quite processing it. “What’s not right?”
“The dress you’re wearing isn’t Fila’s new spring design. It was last year’s early autumn flagship piece, but it happens to align with Fila’s spring concept, so they featured it again,” Chu Ruan explained, shaking her head.
She had randomly flipped to that exact page earlier.
“You’re lying!” Exposed, Chu Lanyan glared at her angrily.
Chu Ruan looked up blankly. “No, I’m not. It’s right here.”
Taking the book, Chu Ruan accurately found the page and pointed it out to Chu Lanyan. “See, here it is.”
Chu Lanyan snatched the book back. She hadn’t finished reading this magazine and didn’t know this dress was mentioned inside.
She had only dared to show off in front of Chu Ruan because it was last year’s style.
“How did you see that?! You only glanced at it twice!” Chu Lanyan, embarrassed and furious, shoved Chu Ruan.
Stumbling slightly, Chu Ruan didn’t understand why Chu Lanyan was so angry. “I only looked at it twice, but I remembered it.”
Chu Lanyan stared at her in disbelief. Refusing to accept it, she randomly picked up another book and pointed to a passage. “You, memorize this.”
Chu Ruan read it twice, asked about two unfamiliar characters, and then flawlessly recited the entire passage.
Chu Lanyan looked at her as if she were a monster, her eyes shifting, expression changing repeatedly, before she hurried into her room. “That’s enough, I have things to do.”
Chu Ruan stood at the doorway, confused, and slowly made her way back.
Thinking back now, perhaps Chu Lanyan had already harbored intentions to damage her mind back then. That’s why she later took advantage of Fu Chenxuan’s business trip to stay with her, making her feverish without seeking medical help.
Thinking that would destroy her.
And in her previous life, it had worked.
But now, never again. Chu Lanyan, just you wait and see.
The next day, Jin Zhiren arrived with relevant specialist doctors and medical equipment, conducting a thorough examination of Chu Ruan.
The specialists created a detailed recovery exercise schedule for Chu Ruan, instructing her to follow it strictly during training.Fu Chenxuan and Jin Zhiren stood at the doorway. Jin Zhiren nudged Fu Chenxuan, “Hey, I heard you’re sending your little treasure to Huo Lin?”
Fu Chenxuan frowned slightly, his voice cold, “I’m sending Yexiao to the desert country to eat sand.”
He had never realized before that this person was such a gossipy loudmouth.
Yexiao had already told everyone who knew Chu Ruan the news last night and even placed bets.
They were betting on how long Chu Ruan could last inside.
Because the annual training camp event organized by Huo Lin, arranged by specialists from the military district, was about to begin.
With Chu Ruan’s physique, she might be eliminated in the first round of basic training.
