force.
The lights in the army were turned off at 10 o'clock in the evening. It was not yet time for a break, and I don't know who started the fun, but they started playing the arm wrestling game together.
Lu Shishen was also called over. He was just watching from the side and had no intention of participating. However, after several battalion commanders and deputy regiment commanders played for a while, someone encouraged him to join in.
One of the battalion commanders, Zhou, said, "Captain, don't just watch, join in. We often play together, and we already know who is stronger, but we haven't seen your strength yet."
Captain Yan immediately followed suit, "Yes, Captain Lu, let's play together! It's boring to just watch from the sidelines."
When Deputy Captain Bai saw that everyone was staring at Lu Shishen, he subconsciously wanted to speak up to stop them, but Deputy Captain Wei spoke before him and simply put his arm on the table with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
"Captain, please enlighten me."
Deputy Captain Bai frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
The others all stared at Lu Shishen as if they were waiting to see a show.
To be honest, everyone originally thought that Lu Shishen's position would belong to Deputy Captain Wei. Even Deputy Captain Wei himself thought so, and he was happy for a long time.
Who knew that Lu Shishen would suddenly appear out of nowhere, and everyone was wondering if he was someone important.
Later, no one knew who leaked the news that he was the son-in-law of the chief of the Haicheng troops. Everyone thought he was a relative of someone with connections, and they were somewhat dissatisfied.
This time, most likely they wanted to give him a warning.
In the army, no one has ever beaten Deputy Captain Wei in arm wrestling. If Captain Lu loses, will he be angry and embarrassed?
Deputy Captain Bai was a little worried. In fact, after getting to know Captain Lu over the past two days, he felt that Captain Lu was a good person, very calm, not one to show off, and not the type of person who likes to show off.
Then again, if Captain Lu really wants to gain a foothold in the army, it would be good for him to be able to suppress Deputy Captain Wei this time.
But in this way, Deputy Captain Wei would lose face and would probably bear a grudge against Lu Shishen.
There was no expression on Lu Shishen's face. Under the gaze of everyone, he walked over and sat opposite Deputy Captain Bai.
The onlookers immediately cheered and started to make a fuss.
Lu Shishen slowly placed his elbow on the table, and the two of them shook hands. Deputy Captain Wei held his hand tightly, as if he was afraid that Lu Shishen would go back on his word.
Captain Zhou smiled proudly.
"Everyone, get ready. I'm going to start counting. 1, 2, 3, ... start."
When Captain Zhou started shouting 123, Deputy Regiment Commander Wei gathered his strength and prepared to make an effort, but Lu Shishen looked calm and as if it was nothing unusual.
This made Deputy Captain Wei want to teach him a lesson even more, and when he heard the word "start", he exerted force suddenly.
Everyone held their breath, waiting to see Deputy Captain Wei overwhelm Lu Shishen with his strength, but after watching for a while, everyone realized something was wrong.
No one has ever been able to hold out for even a minute under the pressure from Deputy Captain Wei, but Lu Shishen not only held out, he held out for three minutes.
Judging from the situation, the two are evenly matched, but anyone with a little insight can find the difference between them.
Deputy Captain Wei was so exhausted that his face turned red and his neck became thick, but Lu Shishen had a blank expression on his face, his look remained unchanged, and he was as steady as a rock.
Seeing that Deputy Captain Wei was beginning to sweat and looked like he might be overwhelmed at any time, Lu Shishen suddenly called a halt.
The moment his voice fell, Deputy Captain Wei withdrew his strength with a look of relief.
Lu Shishen stood up and said, "You guys play, I have a stomachache, I'm going to the toilet."
After saying that, he walked out.
The atmosphere around was stagnant. No one spoke for a while. It was so quiet that it was a little scary.
Captain Zhou wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he said.
"I think Captain Lu can't hold on any longer, so he found an excuse to run away, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became even more awkward, and no one agreed.
We are not blind, and we saw everything that happened just now clearly. Regardless of whether Captain Lu can win, there will be no problem for him to continue holding on for another two minutes.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Captain Lu did not use his full strength.
To be honest, after this competition, everyone's opinion of Captain Lu has changed.
It was unclear whether Captain Lu was transferred in through the back door, but his strength was unquestionable and they were convinced.
Deputy Captain Wei moved his numb arms, took a deep breath, and said with a gloomy face.
"Don't talk nonsense, Captain Lu is capable."
Others may not know, but he knew it very clearly in his heart that Lu Shishen had intentionally given in to him and used the excuse of going to the toilet because he did not want him to embarrass himself in front of others.
If he was still arrogant, he would appear to be very petty compared to Lu Shishen.
This time, he was really convinced by the arm wrestling.
Captain Zhou was still a little tactless and continued speaking.
"Deputy Captain Wei, you don't have to say this to save face for Captain Lu. He really didn't beat you..."
Deputy Captain Wei interrupted him and scolded him.
"If you have too much free time, go run a few laps around the playground."
After saying that, he walked out.
Battalion Commander Zhou was a little embarrassed and said to Deputy Commander Bai.
"I didn't say anything wrong, did I? Captain Lu didn't win in the first place. If he could win, why didn't he just suppress Deputy Captain Wei? Isn't it because he doesn't have the strength?"
Deputy Captain Bai glanced at him and said, "Stop talking. It's getting late. Let's all go to bed."
After saying that, he also walked out.
Captain Zhou felt even more embarrassed and wanted to talk about this with other people, but no one wanted to listen. They stretched and cried out that they were sleepy.
What a joke. One is the head commander and the other is the deputy commander. They would offend others by talking behind each other's back. They are not fools.
Besides, Captain Lu does have some real skills. Those who were originally dissatisfied with him are now speechless.
Everyone saw it with their own eyes just now. Deputy Captain Wei was using all his strength, while Captain Lu might not have even used 50% of his strength. They are not on the same level at all.
They did not overwhelm Deputy Captain Wei because they were considering the overall situation and wanted to save face for Deputy Captain Wei.
Only Captain Zhou is tactless and still trying to make a presence of himself here.
…
On the other side, when Lu Shishen returned to the dormitory, Zhao Fengnian came over to report the situation.
"Captain, the puppy has been delivered. My sister-in-law likes it very much and is very happy to hold it. By the way, my sister-in-law also brought me a lot of food."
Lu Shishen paused while taking off his coat, looked at what Zhao Fengnian was holding and asked, "What's for food?"
Zhao Fengnian, "Mahua and beef jerky."
Suddenly thinking of something, he quickly added, "By the way, my sister-in-law asked me to bring you a message. She said she will come to see you in the middle of next month."
Lu Shishen didn't say anything, as if he was still waiting for him to continue. Seeing that he hadn't said anything for a long time, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Nothing else?"
Zhao Fengnian recalled it carefully and nodded confidently, "No more."
Lu Shishen didn't say anything, but his eyes fell on the things in Zhao Fengnian's hand. Zhao Fengnian subconsciously held the bag tightly, as if he was afraid that the things would be snatched away. Lu Shishen frowned.
"Get out!"
Zhao Fengnian felt relieved and trotted out quickly. However, before he had taken a few steps, he was stopped by several battalion commanders.
"Why are you running so fast? What are you holding?"
