Mei Mengzhen hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll also undress and bathe. The military training is for 20 days; we surely can't wear clothes to bathe every single day for 20 days. One day, two days—it stays clean, but what about after that?"
In the end, everyone undressed to bathe, feeling somewhat embarrassed at first, but once that mental barrier was overcome, it became more natural for them afterward.
Not long after they returned to their dormitory, a plump girl who had come back from the medical room came to find them.
"Classmate, thank you so much for today. When I got back to the dormitory, He Yiran told me everything that happened today. I'm really grateful to you," she said.
Mei Mengzhen waved her hand dismissively, "It's nothing. We are all from the same department, all classmates; it's only right that we help each other."
