Hong Tao's long-cherished wish had finally come true. He was in an extremely good mood this past month, and he even wanted to smile even when he slept. After hearing what Zhou Shuyi said, he quickly explained:
"Captain, I did take a diet pill, but it's different from the ones I took before! My previous diet pills left me with a loss of appetite and diarrhea. But this one is different. It warms me up and makes me feel comfortable all over. I've eaten more than before, and I've lost weight! Look, all the pimples on my face are gone. Isn't that amazing?"
Seeing that his face was rosy and glowing, and he didn't look weak at all after excessive weight loss, Zhou Shuyi felt relieved: "Where did you get the medicine?"
"Let me speak, let me speak!"
The little guy's inquisitive nature came back, and he rushed to explain to Zhou Shuyi:
"It's the Chinese medicine that Chen Qingshan prescribed for the squad leader. He lost dozens of pounds after drinking it for a month! The medicine is sweet and sour, so delicious!"
"Xiao Mao, how do you know it tastes good? Did you drink it secretly?"
"I, I saw there was still some left in the small casserole, so I took a bite..."
"You're trying the medicine too? You're already skinny, aren't you afraid of looking like a lamb rib?"
"No, I felt hungry after drinking it. I even ate two extra bowls of rice at noon!"
What Xiao Mao secretly drank was some ordinary Chinese medicine in the small casserole, which was used as a decoy. They were all for promoting digestion and eliminating phlegm and dampness. Wouldn't he feel hungry if the digestion was fast?
Zhou Shuyi raised his hand to interrupt their conversation and asked Hong Tao: "Taozi, is what Xiao Mao said true?"
"Captain, it's true. I heard that classmate Chen comes from a family of doctors and has studied medicine since childhood. He must be very capable!"
Zhou Shuyi nodded without saying anything. He only now realized that Chen Qingshan came from a family of medicine. People with such a family background were often both civil and military. No wonder he had beaten him in the 400-meter hurdles. He was a real talent.
"Taozi, how much do you weigh now?"
Hong Tao laughed again, his eyes squeezed into crescents by his eye bags: "162 pounds."
Hong Tao is 175 cm tall and his standard weight is 140 catties, but he is still a little overweight.
"Can I continue to lose weight?"
"Yes, but Xiao Chen said that the weight loss will be slower in the later stages, so he asked me to cooperate with the exercise."
Zhou Shuyi looked Hong Tao up and down for a while, pulled him aside, and whispered:
"You should do some recovery training soon. In a couple of days, I will ask the superiors to conduct a quality assessment on you. If you meet the standards, I will transfer you back to the Tiger Regiment!"
"real!"
Hong Tao shouted excitedly, but Zhou Shuyi covered his mouth with his hand:
"Keep your voice down! Whether you can go back depends on your test results. If you fail, I can't help you!"
Hong Tao nodded quickly. Zhou Shuyi had felt very sorry when Hong Tao left the Tiger Regiment. In recent years, he had often sent Hong Tao to other regiments to teach shooting lessons to new recruits. Firstly, he didn't want Hong Tao's shooting skills to be buried, and secondly, he was afraid that Hong Tao would lose his temper in the kitchen squad and give up on himself.
Now that Zhou Shuyi saw with his own eyes that Hong Tao had successfully lost weight, he immediately wanted him to return to the team, so he asked Hong Tao to seize the time to recover and prepare for the assessment.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll go find Chief of Staff Leng."
Zhou Shuyi didn't let Hong Tao send him off, and walked out by himself, intending to find the chief of staff to discuss Hong Tao's return to the team. Unexpectedly, he ran into Chen Qingshan, Xuan Xuan and others.
The four girls hadn't seen Zhou Shuyi since they arrived at the kitchen. Wu Jiaying still remembered him berating her fiercely, and she cringed a bit behind Qingshan. Xuan Xuan and Li Lulu, one looking left and the other right, perfectly maneuvered around Zhou Shuyi and into the operating room.
Qingshan felt amused: Although Zhou Shuyi scolded you, he also apologized. Why didn’t he even say hello?
"Instructor Zhou, are you here to see Squad Leader Hong?"
Zhou Shuyi was also a little embarrassed when he saw Chen Qingshan.
"Um—ah, yes. Well—Taozi has lost a lot of weight. I…I thank you on his behalf."
Zhou Shuyi finished speaking, lowered his head, and hurried out of the cafeteria. Wu Jiaying and Chen Qingshan looked at each other in surprise. Did they see right? Did Instructor Zhou blush just now?
