CHAPTER 807: CHAPTER 728: DISLOCATED LIVES 6

After speaking, the coach handed the struggling Mo Siqi over to the man beside them in camouflage, exuding a soldier-like aura, instructing him to take her to confinement. The man grabbed Mo Siqi’s hands and took her away. Only after Mo Siqi left did the coach begin inspecting Wen Shuangshuang and Wang Xiao’s belongings.

Wen Shuangshuang and Wang Xiao didn’t bring much—no snacks or power banks—just a few changes of clothes and the sanitary supplies every girl needs monthly. Seeing this, the coach looked satisfied, approvingly nodding, as if they truly came to train hard, and took nothing away.

"Wen Shuangshuang, Wang Xiao, you two have completed today’s tasks well; you can now go to the cafeteria to eat. Meng Jiao, you didn’t finish your task. Tonight, your meal will only be buns and boiled veggies in saltwater. Follow me to the cafeteria."

After speaking, the coach led the way out, with Wen Shuangshuang and Wang Xiao lining up behind. Meng Jiao hesitated for a moment but obediently followed, though she kept crying.

The coach’s walking posture was very admirable—back straight and steps firm, with a rhythmic thud beneath his feet—and looked very handsome. Wen Shuangshuang and Wang Xiao unconsciously imitated his walk as they followed.

Meanwhile, Meng Jiao’s footsteps behind were messy, and she continued crying. Wen Shuangshuang, being right behind the coach, felt fine, but Wang Xiao, one step further back, felt as if Meng Jiao was crying directly into her ear, which annoyed her so much she wished she could tape her mouth shut.

Wang Xiao, not being one to cry easily, couldn’t comprehend how someone could keep crying non-stop without anyone comforting them. Here, there were no tender-hearted men, so who was she crying for?

While feeling distressed, they passed by a rather high but not small window, with the door firmly closed. Above it was labeled "Confinement Room." As they passed, Wen Shuangshuang and Wang Xiao heard Mo Siqi inside banging on the door and yelling to be let out.

Wen Shuangshuang glanced at this room; it wasn’t dark, and although the window was high, it was large, facing the sunlight, preventing the room from getting dark. Mo Siqi’s strong voice indicated there would be no corporal punishment, making it very akin to a military confinement.

Wen Shuangshuang secretly hoped Mo Siqi would be locked up longer, giving her a few days of peace.

It wasn’t that Wen Shuangshuang lacked compassion, but Mo Siqi was so troublesome. She came to this summer camp to train her body and change her character, not to test her patience.

After passing the confinement room, they soon arrived at the cafeteria, which was spacious. One side offered regular food with an array of colorful dishes, flavored richly, with a great variety including many vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, featuring large dishes like lion’s head meatball, braised pork, and crispy ribs, complete with seafood, poultry, meat, and eggs.

Besides the variety of dishes, there were lots of fruits arranged in trays on one side, showing the camp considered all nutritional aspects for the participants. The camp’s two-month fee of two hundred yuan seemed a great bargain, almost like it cost nothing.

The normal meals were buffet-style, allowing people to take as much food as they wanted, eating as much as they liked, with one rule: no leftovers. Leaving food meant facing a punishment, having to eat at the small separate window area.

The small separate window wasn’t buffet-style; instead, people had to queue up for their meals. The food was simple—rough-looking buns made from coarsely ground mixed grains—not the finely milled mixed grains people were familiar with.

The roughness of the buns was akin to eating coarse grain buns from hard times when food was scarce, providing nutrition but not a pleasing taste.

The other dish was even less appetizing—boiled vegetables in clear broth, with a visually pleasing variety of green, white, and red mixed together. The meat, a piece of pork belly, usually could become a delicious dish but just floated amid the vegetables, quite unappealing, with no available fruit.

This small window, along with a row of seats, was encased in glass, forming a separate glass room, isolated from the regular dining area. Those at the small window could see but not cross over.

The coach pointed to the regular dining area, letting Wen Shuangshuang and Wang Xiao eat there, while he led a still-crying Meng Jiao into the glass room of the small window, personally placing a meal in front of her before leaving.

The glass room door had a lock, a smart lock, requiring a scan of the coach’s card to open when someone wanted to enter, automatically locking once they passed through, preventing anyone inside from escaping.

In this glass room, aside from Meng Jiao, there were other kids in front of what was an unappetizing meal, evidently those failed in folding their beds. They looked at the regular food side, swallowing hungrily but with locked doors, they remained inside.

Dining hall people couldn’t leave food or smuggle extra, eliminating any chance of smuggling food for dorm mates. Thus, they watched helplessly as others enjoyed sumptuous meals, while they had only a pile of unappetizing food.

Wen Shuangshuang had a small appetite. She was pampered and ate like a kitten, always cautious of taking too much, fearing she’d leave leftovers, while Wang Xiao was a big eater, piling her plate high.

As Wen Shuangshuang finished her meal, nibbling on fruit, Wang Xiao kept eating, consuming three large bowls of food with many side dishes, with appetite rivaling an adult man.

This made Wen Shuangshuang envious. Though unable to use Divine Power currently, she could still keep herself from gaining weight despite eating, but her stomach was too small to consume much.

Many people around were astonished at Wang Xiao’s appetite, but Wang Xiao was unfazed, feeling no embarrassment over her eating capacity, looking quite comfortable and composed.

Noticing Wen Shuangshuang’s envious expression, Wang Xiao patted her shoulder, saying, "No need to envy me. It’s because I exercise a lot that I eat so much. Once you train for a few days, your body will tire, and your appetite will naturally grow."
