As they chatted, Suhe reflected on how much he had grown over the past decade. After joining the army at 18, he'd been training, training, training, training every day, exhausted as a dog. The next day, he'd be called up before dawn to continue the torture. But he loved this life in the special forces. Although it was hard and tiring, it was also joyful—a true mixture of pain and joy.

After arriving at the military, Sui He joined his father's former unit, the 38th Marine Special Forces. Their unit was considered an elite unit, requiring far greater sacrifices than ordinary military services. Although Sui He was considered impressive back home, hunting, catching spies, and other criminals, he was often dismissed as a rookie.

Those who can join the special forces are all outstanding, with special skills, and are selected to join the special forces. Suihe always thinks he is very powerful. Although this guy has a cold personality, his patriotism and military will are boiling with passion.

After seeing the combat capabilities of real special forces soldiers, the child completely shut himself in and began to doubt himself. He suspected that his father had used his privileges to help him get into the special forces, and he also doubted whether he could become a real special forces soldier.

To avoid being last in the group, to avoid embarrassing his father, and to prevent others from accusing him of backdoor dealing, he trained like crazy. While others were eating, he'd finish his meal and continue training. While others were resting, he was still training. While others were sleeping, he was still training! He was literally risking his life training.

His goal is not to be last.

So he did not go home for the Spring Festival during his first year in the army, because in the special forces, there is no New Year celebration, no holidays, only constant training, training himself to meet the standards, and always ready to maintain national peace.

In the second year, Suihe gradually adapted to the intense training and his physical fitness improved. Having never held a gun at home, his shooting scores were always at the bottom when he first joined the army. After a year of training, he was able to top the team, a feat he couldn't achieve without the hard work he put in.

During a military exercise, he led his team to successfully complete the mission and brilliantly captured the enemy leader alive. His calm mind and flawless handling of the situation earned him commendations from his superiors. When his superiors finally presented him with the award, they revealed that he was a former subordinate of his father's and had high expectations for him, hoping he would be as good as his father had been. This pressure on Suihe was even greater, and he turned it into motivation. Not only was he known as a workaholic within the team, but the legend of him as a workaholic was now circulating throughout the entire army.

During his second year in the army, a particularly eccentric man named Li Yichen was transferred from another unit. As soon as he arrived, he challenged Suihe before he even put down his backpack. He'd heard Suihe was very powerful, and he refused to accept it! So, he came specifically to challenge Suihe.

In the following days, Suihe and Li Yichen became a pair of "good (dead) brothers (against) each other" who "love and hate each other". One participated in 20 kilometers with weights, and the other absolutely did not do 25 kilometers and would not even do 21 kilometers.

In the midst of these days of love and hate, a letter arrived from home. The only time Suihe's eyes softened during these brutal training sessions was when he read a letter from home. Although Suihe rarely shared his family's life with his comrades, everyone in the unit was certain that the people who regularly sent him such large packages every month were his parents and two younger siblings. Otherwise, why would the envelopes always be so thick, revealing several folded sheets of paper?
