"Add three kilometers of training." Zuo Li barely managed to stabilize his blood pressure, stood up straight, and gave the command: "At ease!"
"stand at attention!"
"Turn left, run!"
Even though he hadn't received formal training for three years, Yu Wei still managed to perform the corresponding movements based on muscle memory. However, his movements weren't quite standard, so he was naturally punished by Zuo Li again.
"Make fists with your hands naturally, place your thumbs between the second and third knuckles of your index fingers, raise your arms to your waist and swing them naturally, with even steps... keep pace with me."
Zuo Li followed Yu Wei, correcting his movements, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.
Yu Wei has only rested for three years, yet he has forgotten even the most basic things. He is now about the same as a new recruit who has just entered the camp, and it is impossible for him to return to his peak in just a few months.
Fortunately, he specifically consulted with Yu Zhen and asked Yu Wei to get up an hour earlier and start training at 5:10, which was enough to correct his bad habits.
The scorching sun beat down on the earth, and the dry air filled the nostrils and mouths, determined to squeeze out the last bit of moisture from the body.
Yu Wei couldn't help but open his mouth to breathe, his cheeks flushed, panting heavily.
"Adjust your breathing and control your breathing rhythm..."
Zuo Li spoke calmly and without a trace of panting, his face devoid of any blush.
Holy crap, is this even human?
Yu Wei was greatly shocked. He had run so far, yet the old man was not even red in the face, his heart was not racing, and he wasn't even out of breath. Did he have such a large lung capacity?
"Watch where you're going, don't look at me."
Just as Zuo Li finished speaking, a scream of "Ah!" was heard, and the person next to him vanished instantly.
Yu Wei, who had tripped, was about to lie down and rest for a while when Zuo Li grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him up.
"So light, haven't you eaten?"
Zuo Li frowned. He had thought Yu Wei was only unqualified in terms of physical fitness, but he didn't expect him to be unqualified in terms of weight as well.
I really don't know how he survived these past three years.
"Eat."
Yu Wei dusted himself off, feeling quite annoyed. He had fallen flat on his face, scraping his knee, which then healed instantly. It was truly frustrating.
"Since you've eaten, you should train properly." Zuo Li withdrew his hand, his tone sarcastic: "So as not to waste food."
"Oops, teacher, what you're saying..." makes it sound like I'm a good-for-nothing.
Of course, Yu Wei would never say the latter part; he may be thick-skinned, but he still has a sense of shame.
"Continue." Zuo Li glanced at the planner and grinned mischievously. "The plan was five kilometers of training, plus an extra three kilometers for being disheveled, for a total of eight kilometers. You only ran five kilometers in this hour..."
"Aaaaah! Why don't you just kill me?"
Yu Wei looked up at the sky and howled, wanting to cry but having no tears. He had run so hard for so long, but had only run five kilometers.
"Young man, don't give up so easily." Zuo Li patted Yu Wei on the shoulder, ran a few steps ahead, and waved to Yu Wei with his back turned: "Keep going, I'll be waiting for you up ahead."
"Oh right, it'll be lunchtime in two hours." Zuo Li turned around, turned his back to Yu Wei, and looked at him with a smile: "If we miss lunch, we'll go hungry."
"Wait for me."
Yu Wei stamped his foot and resignedly followed.
Seeing that he was slowly catching up, Zuo Li thought for a moment and decided to take him on a longer detour.
The two stopped at the entrance of the cafeteria at 5:45. At this time, most people had already finished eating, and there were relatively few people in the cafeteria.
Yu Wei's steps were unsteady, his face was flushed, he was bent over, his hands were on his legs, and he was breathing heavily.
"Have you...done running?"
Yu Wei looked up at the person in front of him who wasn't even out of breath, and, speechless, plopped down on the steps.
"That's right, eleven kilometers in total."
Zuo Li patted Yu Wei on the shoulder, grabbed him, and walked into the cafeteria.
"Damn, you can't play games like this."
Yu Wei instantly bristled. If he weren't so weak, he would have jumped up and hit Zuo Li.
This is outrageous!
Zuo Li ignored Yu Wei's complaints, tossed him onto a chair, and went to get food with two plates.
“Human potential is limitless.” Zuo Li placed the food in front of the half-dead Yu Wei. “Besides, this should be a piece of cake for you.”
At his peak, Yu Wei could run nearly 30 kilometers in an hour. Ten kilometers wouldn't even be enough for him. Moreover, the Yu family's genes were influenced by cheetah genes, so their short-distance running speed was unmatched by ordinary people.
"Well, I'll have to get used to it gradually."
Yu Wei rubbed his aching legs. He didn't even have the strength to eat anymore; all he wanted to do was lie down.
"Eat quickly, there's still other training after you finish." Zuo Li shoved the chopsticks into his hand and tapped Yu Wei's head with his index finger: "Remember to bring your brain to the basic military theory class tonight."
"Ugh, you knocked my brain out of me, you owe me for that."
Yu Wei rubbed his head, angrily stuffed the meatball into his mouth and chewed it forcefully, as if what was in his mouth was not a meatball, but Zuo Li.
"What's so great about being a love-struck fool? Now that you're gone, we can replace you with someone more clever."
Zuo Li rolled her eyes at Yu Wei. Why was this Alpha acting all cute? It was unbearable to watch!
Yu Wei snorted and buried his head in his rice.
So what if he's love-struck? He didn't steal, rob, kill, or commit arson; he's still better than a scumbag!
"By the way, where's your wife? Why didn't she come back with you?"
Zuo Li had met Zhou Siyu a few times at Yu Zhen's place and had a good impression of him. He was good-looking, polite, and had a good personality.
"It's all because of the mission." Yu Wei chewed on a chicken leg, clearly dissatisfied with the alliance's arrangements: "I finally had some time to spend with my wife, and you guys insisted on making me come back early alone..."
